Welcome to Zach to the Future.

I'm your co-host, Dashel Driscoll, joined today by Bayside's father of the year, Mark Paul Gossler.

Hello, Mark Paul.

Hi, Dashel, thank you. Thank you so much.

Yeah, you see, I'm working on the intro.

Now it's kind of like a Simpsons chalkboard thing, like it's going to maybe change each week.

I thought that could be fun.

That's a fun territory.

Our audience loves fun.

That's what I could decipher from the Twitter responses we get after each episode.

Yeah, they love fun and they love being correct.

Two things that go hand in hand so often.

Today, Mark Paul, we'll be talking about the Mamas and the Pappas. I'm, and I already know you did the

homework. You always do the homework. I have stopped asking. But we're talking about Mamas and the

papas. Yes, I did do the homework. But Mamas and the Pappas, the title of the episode, not the band from Los Angeles.

Yes, that's correct. So the episode is titled Mamas and the Pappas named, of course, for the Mamas and the Pappas, a group from the 1960s responsible for the counterculture anthem California Dreaming.

California Dreams, by the way, would be the name of Peter Engels next show.

I was going to bring that up, but you stole my thunder.

Not only did I steal it, I just, I actually like, I woke up in a fever, realizing I had not

addressed that in my notes.

And the last thing I did right before we started was say, oh, God, I need to say where this

title came from and how it directly relates to Peter Engel.
