Saul and Heshe Nosh Over the 2015 Emmys

It's been a while since we heard from our two grizzled Hollywood veterans Saul and Heshe.   But the Emmy Awards were on Sunday night and we decided to check in with them over lunch at their favorite Beverly Hills deli to get their take on this year's festivities.

"Oy."

"Oy on steroids."

"I don't understand television any more.   So many shows and nothing to watch."

"Not like the old days when all you need was a couple of good gag writers and Ann B. Davis."

"Schultzie!  I love her."

"She's dead."

"Yeah, well, who isn't?"

"Did you watch the Emmys?"

"I did.  And I'm even more confused now.  What, these are shows?   On television?"

"It's all on the World Wide Web now."

"Internet, feh.  I can't watch a show on the computer.  All I use it for is to get Cialis on the cheap."

"One of those drug websites?"

"WWW.PeckerPop.com."

"Oy."

"Vy iz mir."

"Who was that schmeckel who was the host of the show?  Andy Sambo?"

"Samberg.  Not Sambo.   That's the kid's story about turning the tigers into pancakes."

"Feh.  Never heard of either one of them.   Not funny.   Where was Sid Caesar?"

"Dead."

"Yeah, well, who isn't?"

"All these crazy show names.  Game of Thrones?"

"Never heard."

"VEEP."

"Never heard."

"Transparent."

"I think that's fagg-ila.  But I only heard."

"The business is so different."

"Bob Cummings.  Now that was a class act."

"He worked with Ann B. Davis."

"She's dead."

"I just heard that."

"Yeah, I told you two minutes ago."

"That was you?"

"You don't watch shows on the Zenith anymore.  Do you get Netflix?"

"That's for the prostate?"

"No.  It's a way to watch TV shows.  How about Hulu?"

"The guy on Star Trek?"

"Oy.  What about Amazon?"

"I saw that.   Mamie Van Doren was in that.  1957."

"You're out of touch."

"And, oh, those speeches!  Everybody thinks they're Abe Lincoln."

"You won an award, not a war.  Say 'thank you,' go down to the bar, and get fucking blind."

"I know what that Mad Man show was.  Advertising agency in the 1960s.  I dealt with those bastards all the time."

"Their actor won the Emmy.  Jon Hamm."

"Not a good last name for an actor."

"If Virginia Mayo married Jon Hamm, she's be Virginia Ham, hold the mayo."

"Now that's a sandwich.   This corned beef today?   A little fatty."

Dinner last night:  Chicken fried steak and salad.
