It's that time.

Time, time, time.

Lock and load.

The Michael Verishow is on the air.

So Ramon saw something posted yesterday from a guy who he said my wife told me that as a kid she figured she would have made it when she grew up.

If she had a refrigerator that had dispensed water and ice in the door.

And for me, it was a basketball goal that was clear, plexiglass on the backboard.

Because you remember we had the old, you know, I thought we had the wooden, we didn't have the wooden one.

Our neighbors had the wooden one. We had the, it was a white, like a formed plastic.

I don't know without, we didn't have the glass, which is technically a plexiglass.

But I got to thinking about that. We didn't have the wooden one. We had the wooden one when I was growing up.

We had the one at the earlier house we lived in where you just nail it to the garage.

And it, I don't have enough time on the show today to explain to you why nailing the basketball goal above the garage door is no good.

There's a hundred different reasons. First of all, there is no layup because a layup means that you run into the, so it eliminates so much of the Larry bird portions of my game.

But this listener emailed in and said, for me, it was that one day I'd have a Curtis Mathis television.

The quality goes in before the name goes on.

And I was sitting here, kneeling on that. And I couldn't remember. I said, I don't think that was the Curtis Mathis motto.

And I asked Ramon, he didn't know anything that's old. And I kept thinking and I kept thinking and I went back and looked, do you remember the old Curtis Mathis motto?

Say it out loud if you know it. This is from 1979.

Well, what do you think? It's a Curtis Mathis. And it may be the best set you can buy, but you're not going to believe that, right?

Well, if it weren't, would we put a four-year limited warranty on it? No way. And that means if any part goes out on you, even the picture tube, Curtis Mathis will provide a replacement free for four years.

Curtis Mathis, the most expensive television sets in America and darn well worth it.
