Saturday 9

The TMZ staff were on a ROLL yesterday. I was laughing so hard at the banter through the entire show. They really crack me up.


Saturday 9: Daddy's Little Man (1969)
... because it's Father's Day weekend
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) This song is about an afternoon visit between a father and son. What are your plans for Saturday afternoon?
We went car shopping for a new car for Jeff. We hit Honda, Hyundai and Toyota.

2) The lyrics talk about enjoying an ice cream cone. Do you have any ice cream in your freezer right now?
Just emptied the triple chocolate for another of Lauren's shakes. (She's had a terrible sore throat.)

3) Sam's father hates it when she swears. When is the last time you cursed?
Yesterday when I was talking to Crystal on the phone. I took the day off, so that was the only time we were talking about work! :)

4) In a recent ranking of movie dads, Mufasa (Lion King) and Atticus (To Kill a Mockingbird) got very high marks. Who is your favorite movie or TV father?
Dill Penderghast (Stanley Tucci) in Easy A

5) Sam's own father often traveled for business, and always remembered to bring her the little complimentary soaps, shampoos or body lotion he got from the hotel. When you take a trip, do you bring back souvenirs?
Usually Christmas ornaments.

6) Back when Sam was in high school, it was her father who gave her driving lessons. Who taught you how to drive?
my boyfriend

7) Sam's own father is easy to buy for: every year he wants a new pair of loafers, so every year for Father's Day she gives him a DSW gift card. Would you rather receive a gift that someone chose, even though it might not be just right, or do you prefer a gift card or cash so you can get exactly what you want?
If someone gets me a gift card for a specific store where I want something or they want me to get a specific thing, like the story above, I don't mind a gift card. Otherwise, I would more enjoy getting a gift that someone chose, that wasn't just right.

8) For family barbecues, Sam's dad dons his "Kiss the Chef" apron and mans the Weber. What's the last thing you cooked on the grill?
I haven't cooked on a grill since the last time we went to U R Cooks, which was probably 15 years ago. I would LOVE to learn to grill and do it well.

9) Sam's father satisfies his afternoon sugar craving with an almost endless stream of Butter Rum Lifesavers. When you crave a snack, do you usually want something sweet or salty?
salty
