Episode 31: The Savage Heart

“Get a Job” by The Silhouettes plays as The Pharaohs rob an arcade (and inspires the name of Sha Na Na). When caught emptying the machines of quarters, Curt covers for his “friends” with the men of the Moose Lodge. Chris Frain from This Means Something… joins Rachel to talk about Curt’s nerd privilege, summer jobs, anachronistic pinball machines, and the awkward energy that Richard Dreyfuss was born to play. Does Curt finally overcome his fear of the unknown to reach for his destiny… or is he just fleeing the scene of a crime in Modesto?
