It’s the question that has plagued man since the dawn of time. (Well, since 1975, anyway.) And now, Jeff & Ryan have the answer! In this episode, you will finally learn the true identity of the mystery actor who played General MacArthur in the season 3 episode “Big Mac.” We also discuss a variety of other topics including the mysterious second medical team, clarinet reeds, the M*A*S*H motion picture, a boy named Hawkeye, MacArthur’s pool table, and Eight is Enough!
