Partridge right and he came on I knew about him but you know he didn't know about me and he came on the set he said what are you doing here and I said I'm your mother again hmm you know I'd done about five auditions and unconscious public opinion I was an actor who I was trying to pay my rent you know like when you're 19 years old and you move out and you just do everything and I read this pilot I went on about five auditions for this role and they hadn't cast the other parts we got down to the day that they tested both Danny Susan myself there was two characters there were two actors for every character and I walked in and there she was and I thought there's some mistake here and it was great it's good that's the end of that story block party shoe the whole street Ian kite everyone we can we'll get all the businessmen to chip in free drinks for everyone everything free then we'll take up donations and save the firehouse you know man it might work I bet like Lucky's restaurant to go for it and we get some free groceries but no man there's no time we have to get permits and besides who would know about it look there's a lot of problems there's a lot of us towards the mouth will not blow my own horn but I'm a genius and organization hey man what we get to lose anyway right even if it fails we have the biggest party to town's ever seen and we'll just go on down in flames that's uh not the best choice of words I will get the businessmen together I'll go to the police and get the permit listen I have an idea for a song it's sort of an afro thing oh and you haven't heard I'm the world's greatest musical arranger no I haven't I'm reported ok man you're on hold it I got an idea for a song it's sort of an afro thing oh yeah my dialogue okay oh I got an idea for a song it's kind of an afro when Richard Pryor walked in and sauce he was appalled there we were standing there in these red velvet suits and he goes what is this five white kids dressed like Superfly actually we have an early TV Guide in the Abbey can I see that that velvet look yes damn it maroon velvet okay well we're Susan she was there and then yeah she was there then well Susan let me ask you something yet when you saw that piece of me and and Richard mm-hmm was it was it as scary as I thought it was cuz I I honestly have not seen that show since we did it actually that's my favorite episode I love that one too I just said that to him yes that's my name because I see a fourth or fifth show that we did and sorry David has an idea no no this is going know it oh god Monica no no no no he thinks is on Costas run driver OS yeah it's a gone David David get it actually let's talk about it this man no you watched him grow up and we've heard him bare his soul in the last couple years on all the daytime shows um what was he like as a kid he was a he was a little terror he was a holy terror you know he's cleaned up his act now I'm glad to say but I said you know I said this this afternoon and I really I said it to him and I've said it over and over again Danny was never a bad boy he was mischievous and he he was a real boy you know he got into trouble all the time but he was so sweet inside and he still is you know he has he has a big heart but he needs discipline and I was just the lady to give it to him one time Shirley actually grounded me on the set of The Partridge Family but there's a living room set and a staircase that leads up to a mythical second floor where my bedroom would be and I was causing trouble and Shirley all the sudden it's what Danny go to your room and stay there and the whole crew were like silent went alright Shirley has now ripped out but I mean it was like right then I knew who was in charge and what to do and I went about doing my business went back to work he was just a real little boy yeah and of course David with his obsession with afros uh what was David the perfect kid uh well he was an adult fit you know and the only problem that David had as far as the workgroup was concerned so he was out doing concerts every weekend so Monday morning you know exhausted as he was period you know he'd be late frequently and the only time I remembered that I've really felt that David and I had to talk was because he was holding up a crew and he was holding up the actors and it was because he had been working all night you're just true isn't that the way this is going good my representation yeah I like this yeah but you got over that no cuz he had to work day and night working you know David and Shirley sang on the album's the rest of the Partridge Family was pretty much Milli Vanilli and then uh so but David would record all night he'd do concert tours during the hiatus so the guy worked around the clock me I did my 8 hours did my 3 hours of school and I was done yeah and I became mother again when I went home hmm Danny's working a lot now in Chicago I started stand-up there and so all my friends call me and they tell me about the things that you and brand Meyer do all right oh yeah well UPA em $1 well mentioned it as a matter of fact I heard that mentioning it I know I got part of the story what's going on with mentioning that guy Larry work would be his name-o thank you are saying I get $1,000 cash every time I mention my boss now he worried wait not he's got to give you $1,000 if he doesn't get in trouble by his boss Jimmy de Castro or Scotty Ginsburg wait is there something in addition in their names 2,000 bucks every time all the other guys it was about 5 grand I just made whiteheads Scotty Ginsberg Jim to cash over I'd like to do is if I could give some of that to dare in your name with that no it's our name that's real near is it money oh yeah you say it might be more Harry Ginsburg was out there against burglar
