Podcasts about Pacific Princess

Stephen J Peak should be basking in the glory of the mighty Saints and his own tipping form, but instead the burbling beak from the bayside sits uneasy in the chair amid the impending ramifications of a dodgy chicken souvlaki. Finey's fractured and factual fairy tale may have a happy ending but it is an eyewatering journey to that destination. Kev's lost in a musical tsunami of golden memories, diving into the 2SM Top 40 from April 1972. The good ship Ruck 'n Roll sets sail for another adventure. Will it be a Titanic, Minnow or a Pacific Princess voyage? Man the lifeboats!

With 2025 as the 60th anniversary year of Princess Cruises now unfolding, Peter will share what was and special about the Pacific Princess and discuss how that ship captured the imagination of millions of future cruisers.  He will also share what became of this once revered ship in her post Princess days. Peter has one of the most unique and multifaceted seafaring stories I have ever heard. His home is virtually entirely comprised of cruise ship artifacts—made up of panels, artwork, and furniture including bars, from scrapped ships. During his first visit, Ep. 56 Peter Knego we focused mainly on the collector aspect of Peter's persona, took a virtual tour of his house and backyard comprised of original artwork and artifacts including from the Love Boat. You can learn a great deal about Peter the collector, and his passion for older ships from his website, midshipcentury.com, and YouTube channel, Peter Knego's MidShipCinema, described as “unique, exclusive and personally captured video of the world's great ocean liners and cruise ships...past & present.” This excerpt from midshipcentury.com captures his reason for being, his raison d'être: “… today's mega cruise ships, offer a myriad of amenities to make the passenger forget he or she is even at sea. But unlike ocean liners, these boxy monoliths are fitted out like modern hotels with store-bought furnishings and fire-resistant materials.

Oh my goodness, we are covering something exciting and new. Wowzers, I hope you come aboard, because we have been expecting you! That's right, it is the LOVE BOAT...I mean, the Avenger Academy. I guess we should introduce you to this crew that will be on our ship as we cruise through these West Coast waves, so let me check the roster of....holy phone books Batman, that is a lot of people. You know what, Al Gore did not invent the internet so you could twiddle your thumbs, look them up yourself. Many people ask how big the Pacific Princess is, and I do know why they ask me that. I am not a captain, I just happen to think that a dress white uniform with shorts is comfortable and delightful. It also means that I cannot eat anything, so it helps me lose weight. Oh, and the ship is big....like Giant Man. No, I do not have dreams about celebrity guest stars on the deck of my ship. And if I did, I would not talk about them here. It is private. While there are snakes that are found in the water, that is not relevant to boats in the Pacific. Plus, we need to talk about the Avengers Acadamy. Or not, since I have run out of time. Oh well....next months.   You can find pretty pictures of this issue at: https://jeffandrickpresent.wordpress.com/2023/10/21/avengers-academy-20-endings/(opens in a new tab)   We also have some merchandise over at Redbubble.

As is the case with most sitcoms, TV shows, and even movies from the 1970s, chimpanzees will invariably show up and create some kind of hilarity or havoc, and sometimes both. This happens a lot in this episode.There is also a storyline where two old vaudeville-type performers have a reunion that turns explosive and another plot where a woman boards the boat with a bandaged face and her mom tagging along. Doc makes his moves on the mom very quickly.Next, Isacc has a hell of a problem with his mom "living in sin" with a dude as they vacation on The Pacific Princess.  His mom is played by the famous old-time actress, singer, and comedian Pearl Baily.We also trip upon the topic of British comedy and Caleb tells of an old show where a mentally challenged character always wants to ... oh never mind, it's actually kind of sick. SHOW QUOTES: "Mummy, bitty bitty, mummy bitty."— Producer Caleb "Was this girl's nose job scheduled before the cruise, or did her mom just take her? Is this like a spa retreat for the nose job? Is she supposed to be hidden? Is my question kind of the chicken or egg? I'm just confused. Then there's the monkey."— Charlotte"I've got to question the safety of keeping a chimpanzee under your bed."— Rob  This one covers Love Boat season 1, episode 14.Visit LoveBoatExposed.com to dive deeper, and connect with the show; send us a message or record a voicemail for air.

It's no surprise that The Love Boat welcomed her as a guest star 10 times, To kick things off, we're given reason to contemplate the ethics of tasing holy men. Milton Berle drops into this episode playing an obnoxious oaf, much like his real-life self. We dive into the madness of Milton Berle's infamous Saturday Night Live stint and explore the unforgivable act that left SNL producer Lorne Michaels fuming.Stowaway Alert! Charo's character breaks maritime law during her first Love Boat appearance - but the real down and dirty is how the men of the Pacific Princess crew set their sites on her - in one way or another.  Of course, the trusty doc is somehow tasked with keeping her sequestered in his own cabin. Boom! The original Incredible Hulk, Bill Bixby, plays in a scene or two where he gets The Doc to break what would later become HIPPA laws. While on the topic of The Incredible Hulk, we discuss how Hulk's pants are full of mystery and magic and the timelessness of Lou Ferrigno. It's gonna be a wild ride, folks, with laughter, intrigue, and more than a few moral conundrums.

Kevin has some very important Facts of Life and Robbie Rist updates; Kornflake goes kayaking and meets a scary angry goose; for National Whatever Day, we're looking for weird science fiction stories on the stupid Internet; and inspired by the new Captain America movie, we present a Top 4 1/2 List of our favorite captains! Yikes, there are so many fine captains out there -- on the Enterprise, the Pacific Princess, and (because it's a Flopcast list) a bunch of 70s and 80s Saturday morning shows. Actually there might be too many captains out there, since we don't even get around to mentioning Captain Lou Albano, or Kaptain Kool, or Captain Carrot! And those are three of our favorite humans and/or super-powered rabbits from a parallel universe.

This week, Larry and Chris discuss John Wayne's age, Hart to Hart, Bruce Jenner, a potential Police Academy reboot, Count Floyd, the plural of various words, the lack of effectiveness of the Predator's doomsday weapon, the Pacific Princess, Disneyland, the history of Get Smart relaunches, just what happened to Randy Quaid, and vintage aftershaves.  Grab your headphones, take a seat and Enjoy!
