EPISODE 29

This week, another member of Fritzy's posse, businessman Harry Dickran, is introduced. It seems that Harry's partner, Meade Esposito, is the cause of Fritzy's dietary dilemmas. How can Mr. Giovanelli, the Hero Sandwich King, resist when Meade is swimming in all that delicious deli meat? But as for Harry's egg specialty, well, Angelo may want to avoid that treat during their next island sojourn. Note that a break in the tape is marked by a lil' piano interlude. (4:25)
