Its Saturday Night! And nothing says "hip" and/or "edgy" in 1977 more than Ruth Gordon.  And, if that wasn't enough, she brought her good friend Chuck Berry with her (all the way from the 1950s!)Ageism aside, this turns out to be a rather enjoyable episode with many familiar faces (including Mr. Bill & Mr. Mike) and even some new ones! 
To top things off, special guest Ricky Jay is in the studio to entertain everyone with some great slight of hand work.
If we didn't have enough to say about this episode we brought in Jordan Runtagh from the amazing podcast "Too Much Information" to help give us all...well, too much information. We dive deep on Ruth, Chuck, and even get a few Beatles references (he couldn't help himself).
