In this episode recap, the hosts discuss Season 1, episode 15 'Lucy Plays Cupid'. This episode included the actress that was a frontrunner for Ethel Mertz, Bea Benaderet.
The hosts discuss the cringe-inducing interaction between Ricky and Lucy when she wanted to help Miss Lewis find love. There are many male and female outdated concepts in this episode- which is why we love to recap these episodes and compare modern-day relationships vs. 1950's marriages.
This is a fun one that includes actor Edward Everett Horton as both the object of Miss Lewis' affection and the one who won't take no for an answer from Lucy- even with hidden kids and a husband! -

In this episode , the hosts review 'Let's Talk to Lucy' with guest Bing Crosby. Much like the majority of these episodes, there's an eavesdropping element to this conversation as two very long time friends discuss Crosby's holiday signature song and Christmas staple, 'White Christmas'. They discuss retirement and Bing's love of golf. Lucille and Crosby go way back in their friendship and he was even on the Bing Crosby Show via Desilu Productions and CBS Paramount Television.

In this week's episode, the hosts discuss the episode that was inspired by the pilot episode of 'I Love Lucy', 'The Audition'. They discuss the differences and similarities between the pilot and this episode as it is also inspired by the radio episode of My Favorite Husband. There are so many outdated thoughts that are touched upon such as the place of a man and a woman, the lack of encouragement from the husband to his wife to try something new and how this show's premise was used as the Arnaz' vaudevillian roadshow.

The hosts chat with child actor and ‘Little Ricky’ on I Love Lucy, Keith Thibodeaux.
Keith was beloved as the son of Lucy and Ricky Ricardo on the much loved program and later, went on to play Johnny Paul Jason on The Andy Griffith Show.
Keith started his career at a very young age playing drums professionally at only 3 years old traveling and eventually getting the role that changed his life.
He discusses his time on the show, his relationships with Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz and their children.
Most importantly, Keith discusses the huge role God plays in his life since becoming a born again Christian, meeting his wife, playing with his band (David and the Giants), forgiving his father and mending that relationship and opening up a ballet school dedicated to dancing for Christ. Truly an inspiring story from a man who went through a lost patch and came out the other side with grace.
