My name is Patrick Bromley and I'm super excited for this week's show because by listener request and by request of the late Tim Curry, we are talking about Muppet Treasure Island from 1996, which means I am joined for this very special episode by the Beaker to my Bunsen Honeydew, Rosalie Lewis.
Patrick BromleyHOST
Hello, Rosalie.
Rosalie LewisGUEST
Hi, Patrick.

Greg KretschmarHOST
Describe, if you will, a thimble head.
Kelly BrownHOST
It's a smaller size head, you know, like Beaker from The Muppets.
Kelly BrownHOST
That's who I think of.
Kelly BrownHOST
But there are actors out there that have a smaller skull.
Oliver CullingHOST
Which ITV company produced the show? And that was Lord Grade ATV.
Oliver CullingHOST
Question two, what was the name of Dr. Bunsen Honeydew's assistant in Muppet Labs? And that was Beaker.
Oliver CullingHOST
And I do remember a tall person with frizzy red hair being called Beaker, I think, for the rest of his school career.
Oliver CullingHOST
Never mind.
Oliver CullingHOST
Question three, what was the name of the song sung by Kermit the Frog's nephew Robin, which charted at number seven in the UK singles chart in 1977? And that was the song Halfway Down the Stairs.
Justin McElroyHOST
I mean, let's just
Griffin McElroyHOST
take Bunsen and Beaker off the table.
Griffin McElroyHOST
Too many workplace accidents.
Travis McElroyHOST
Also, it's just too on the nose.
MichelleHOST
Oh, okay.
BethHOST
Now, Rizzo and, by the way, Beaker and Kermit the Frog were all voiced by Steve Whittemore, or Whittemere, sorry.
MichelleHOST
Because they were formerly Jim Henson's.
BethHOST
Correct.
MichelleHOST
So it was hard for me to also lose Jim Henson because that was my other connection to my grandfather.
BethHOST
Well, yeah, and this is the first Muppet feature film made both after Jim Henson in 1990 and Richard Hunt in 92 had passed away.
BethHOST
Now, Richard Hunt did Beaker, in case you weren't sure.
BethHOST
So several of these characters were recast for the first time, including Kermit, fully taken over by Steve Whittemere.
MarkHOST
Final question for you, Colby.
MarkHOST
Who is your favorite Muppet? And why? Beaker.

Colby BankerGUEST
And sometimes I sound like him.
Pam AshbyHOST
And
Colby BankerGUEST
my bosses, friends, and other people can attest.
Colby BankerGUEST
I just talk too fast.
Colby BankerGUEST
