“Here are a few items I collected during and soon after the final season. I also have a beach towel I hung in my dorm room that year with the vodka IV bottle (sadly empty) They too are prominently displayed currently in a box in the cellar.” -Andy

“This is a mailbag that came in a show bag from the royal easter show in Sydney, Australia from the early 80s.” -Tim

“Enjoy your podcast very much! In listening to the last one, you asked for pictures of any collectibles your listeners had, I had to send this to you! I got it in the mid to late 1980s as a gift.” -Deidre

How tall is Jeff? Why didn’t the M*A*SH cast have crew cuts? How many gifts *did* Margaret’s father give her mother on their wedding night? These are just a few of the burning questions Jeff & Ryan tackle on this episode of MASH Matters! Other topics include AfterMASH, chicken coops, Jackie Cooper, Army boots, how to say Cavalry, journaling, and that blasted big red bird with fuzzy pink feet. Plus, we finally get the definitive answer to the oft-asked question, “Can Alan Alda really knit?”

Remember the time capsule the M*A*S*H cast buried after the series ended? In this episode, we talk to the guy who dug the hole! Special effects technician Jay King joins Jeff & Ryan to discuss his time on the series. We talk about the infamous time capsule (What was in it? Who dug it up? Where is it now?) and other topics including a scary chopper ride, fighting fire on stage 9, squirting blood, blowing up tongue depressors, wrestling alligators, and how to make the O.R. smell like a hospital.
