give me a break now I know what it takes
the old one anymore
legged would they not a moment to make
where
last week Nell quit college and gave up
her dream of being a child psychologist
instead she decided to manage a rock
group led by an ex-convict she tried to
get the band on Gary Collins our
magazine show but Carrie was not too
thrilled with them when L went backstage
to tell the leader how much she hated
the number she discovered he'd been in
prison for murdering the music critic
who didn't like one of his songs see I
thought you were gonna k*ll me what I
said I hated your song
you hate my song who said that you
didn't you stood right there and said
you hated money no I did no no no no I
said I'd love to see you just an
understanding because of the laughter
and the b*ating of my heart
no no everywhere you go your eyes oh I
love that song
yeah Gary loved it oh yeah he loved us
so much he wants to hear another one I
haven't got another one now what yeah I
was gonna write one but I got paroled
well can't you fake one

well I guess I better go tell Gary that
you can tell so what why can't we just
do the first one again
you said Gary loved it I didn't say they
did not yeah yes oh well well actually
he will not hear something just a little
different a middle more upbeat a little
faster
I don't think fast no I depend on a slow
sexy delivery I'm the Johnny Mathis type
honest no blue stars are kiddin
I mean I'd better go tell Gary that you
can't do this know what I got an idea
what why don't you sing the song Nell
you said you used to be in show business
oh no yeah you can see it as fast you
want what do I care I can't play no
I don't sing anymore what you want us to
have a second chance me me me me

lose my life you want us to sing at your
funeral I know all the words to Rock of
Ages oh I'm too young to die

off I went by the house
I paid Joey's babysitter for you I
waited you never showed up Eddie I've
been thinking I don't think in thinking
I'm thinking and I still don't have to
think well let me make it simple for you
don't go back in the show business go
back to college professor Barrett would
welcome you with open arms
I don't think so Eddie not after he sees
what I carved in my desk when I left
that's why I'd like some coffee
thanks Bobby Thanks
you gotta love him no you told me you
hated the life of a singer I mean being
on the road all those months all the
crummy bands and the lousy daddy Lolly's
how do I just those are just excuses I
made up because didn't make it you know
I didn't get a break but now maybe this
is the right time for me no don't make a
decision this big on the rebound you've
got to give it more thought I have given
it thought a day and I just don't know
what to think okay okay well you know
how I feel but you've got to make up
your own mind but I'm telling you honey
if you would ask anybody anybody they
would tell you to go back to college
excuse me
um I have a chance to go on the Gary
Collins show and to be a singer you know
possibly started a whole new career even
though I did you know I was a singer
while back and it didn't work anyway do
you think I should go back to Glen lon
community college even though professor
Barrett passed me over for that child
psychology training course at Stanford
or should I chunk the whole thing and
just become a singer
Ron Tendo northern glaze
you would be account
I'm gonna be a singer I really don't
believe you nelle Harper ah no more
nelle Harper from now on it's just one
word
now just like Madonna
I think that's wonderful welcome back
I'm still talking with a very talented
nelle Harper who's gonna sing for us in
just a few minutes but before that I'd
like to introduce a very very
interesting couple now they're both
anthropologists they've been married to
each other for 15 years but more
importantly they've just spent a year on
a tiny Polynesian island and they've
written a book about it
please welcome doctors jane keller and
raymond Michaelson
well let's start with a little geography
what was the name of the the island that
you spent the year on Mauritania a Ton
Ton a Bora tinea is the name recognized
by the United Nations although you know
how behind the times the UN is we were
read Ton Ton is the name the Islanders
took after the Revolution last year
still the correct name is Borat aeneas
they've got Ton Ton on the t-shirts at
the airport uh-huh be that as it may
you've written a very wonderful book
about that year on Bora taenia yes we
can - we call it growing up below the
equator wait a minute I think I just
bought that book ah it's not about
raising children in a primitive Society
yes it is now and and we found some
amazing similarities between Western
society and Bora tinea oh no it's a
little bit like Pittsburgh with the
beach I can't agree you uh take for
example our own son
well let's not discuss our family
intelligence just for an example yeah
how many children do you have we have
the 111 boy Milo ray doesn't count the
six children I helped support in Laos I
thought that was Korea its Laos Wow it's
always been Los not Korea and I'm just
sick of you calling it Korea
well anyway we discovered that our son
Milo experienced the same problems in
relating to his Bohr attained Ian's
peers that he had back home that's
because you made him so neurotic about
in short to make him put lifts in a
tennis shoe shoe shoe we're gonna be
right back we'll take a short break and
continue our fascinating discussion
these two sides stay tuned we'll be back
and I did not make him neurotic I merely
explained to him that being short was
insignificant and unimportant I hardly
think insignificant is the proper word
to use for a 15 year old boy who's four
foot two
listen listen if I just make a
suggestion now I think we're getting a
little bit off the track and when we
come back if we can just get into the
book and kind of get a little more
general about it your son's experiences
for example oh but what was the thing
that they did that that game that the
kids played on the island wasn't it
similar to our baseball yes it is
similar here he is it's quite similar
only they use a coconut instead of a
bass very hard it's a lot more dangerous
Jane was always a little afraid Milo
might get it the head was coconut and he
did well he's forgotten about it I don't
well of course he forgot it I don't
think that he had a temporary loss of
memory right
that's perfect that's the kind of thing
we want to talk about I mean it must be
a fascinating experience to be involved
in another culture oh please no thanks
no thanks to the boy's mother if she had
her way to spent the whole time enough
playing with that stupid computer she's
really stopping achieving that she went
to one of his coconut ball games Gary
they were into playoffs with the island
of kava that's that's all I just wanted
the kid to have a little fun that's all
it was supposed to be a learning
experience he wasn't there to just have
fun but you know kids learn more when
they having fun don't you think yes I do
no think that's true he would had fun if
his mother had been a little less
overprotective a 15 year old boy still
needs protection sometimes children need
protection from the very ones that are
trying to protect them
oh okay how are you doing trying to say
that I'm keeping my son dependent on me
is that you yet I certainly will
good observation why don't you take no
with you to terror ooh the next year I
know instead of me this she listens to
me
how long is she gonna listen to you
after you beaten bark for two weeks
I didn't mean to start anything I was
just listening which is something Jane
has never done oh I'd like to know where
you get off telling me how to raise my
child sweetheart look it's just that I
hate to see a child caught between two
parents because you know what happens it
always ends up with a kid being hurt all
right here we go
Wow welcome back uh we've just been
having a wonderful if not lively
discussion
but growing up on this Polynesian island
and I must say I was so impressed now
with your knowledge about children and
relationships and and so forth now I
mean this is in no way denigrating a
singer but to your wonderful singer but
your knowledge your grasp of child
psychology of you have you been
interested in that for some time
well yes but well up until recently I am
my major was child psychology and then
Lionel Q technologists yes professor
Barrett you know hey Barrett is a very
old friend of our old the man is old
he's watching the show the same right
now Lionel this girl is terrific oh she
is well put this in your banana leaf and
smoke it Raymond you're a third-rate
anthropologist again you're an
incompetent father and you're a lousy
camper
this mere girl knows more about children
than you and your 12 Koreans every every
Wow Wow no really I'm really not that
good because if I were professor Barrett
wouldn't have passed me over when he
chose the students for the child
psychology program to Stanford he passed
you over if you did Oh Lionel what is
the matter with you are you drifting
again this young woman is exactly the
sort we need in the field don't give it
a second thought now you go back get
your degree give me a call I can get you
in 250 training programs you can do the
absolute really short just like you did

mint Landry's and little Tina Morgan me
Brahms
