    It is extraordinary to think that all those long decades on network television will be nothing but a footnote in Dave's career in comparison to his appearances on the much lauded Barbara Gaines Show.

    • @murraystewartj
      @murraystewartj ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I find Mary's explicit indifference to be strangely attractive, as if she's channeling all the women I've known intimately over my long life, including my current wife. If Mary and I were a couple I can see a typical conversation with her:
      Me: Sweetie, I was just thinking about....
      Mary: (interrupting with a dismissive "go away" hand wave) Yeah, whatever.
