032 – Relatively Speaking

Jeff & Ryan contemplate the theory of relativity in this episode of MASH Matters. They guys discuss the M*A*S*H cast members’ relatives who appeared on the show. Other topics include day players, kids named after M*A*S*H characters, stealing food from craft services, a 23-year-old typo, and the reason why you should NOT buy Jeff’s cookbook… yet.

NOTE: This episode was recorded before the sad news broke of Gene Reynolds’ passing. We will discuss Mr. Reynolds on an upcoming episode of MASH Matters.

M*A*S*H Notes

Goodbye, Farewell, & Amen to the great Gene Reynolds.

Did you know that two of Gene Reynolds’ wives appeared on M*A*S*H?

We also said goodbye to the man who helped bring M*A*S*H to the masses. RIP Fred Silverman.
