A must for any Jackie fan

Regular listener back in the day. I always thought the show sucked after Jackie left. Interesting story. He never trashed BaBaBooey but I got the feeling he didn't much care for him. He confirmed one thing I always thought, Fred is a good guy. Cheers Jackie! Thanks for the laughs.
