Wowie Zowie Citizens indeed!  We sit down with the legendary actor Burt Ward about his time on the set of Batman alongside Adam West in the 1960's. But before we chat about that, we talk with Burt about the work that he and his wife do at Gentle Giants Rescue.  Burt and Tracy Ward have rescued well over 15, 000 dogs over the years. Their work with large breed dogs like Great Danes, Irish Wolfhounds, Mastiffs and others, also helped them see the need for safe, NON-GMO dog foods. Burt, Tracy and their crew have pioneered the safe, NON-GMO foods for dogs and now cats too! Their dogs are experiencing longer and healthier lives eating their own Gentle Giants dog food.   After that we talk about the cultural importance of Batman and how it affected kids and adults alike and how in over 7000 plus appearances, Burt is still told by all the folks he meets about how important this awesome, campy little show was. Face it, without Batman and its success, we dont get Endgame. Thanks Batman and Robin!    For more information on Burt Ward and Gentle Giants Dog Foods  Please visit - www.gentlegiantsdogfood.com    For information about our Show Partners, please visit   LevelUp Lightsabers - https://shop.leveluplightsaber.com/?wpam_id=130   River City Tees - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/rivercitytees?ref_id=22912 --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/funny-science-fiction/support

We joked, we laughed, we hurled! Ok we didn't hurl, but Kathleen DID snort. So you should at least check that out. But what we did do, after the snorting, was talk with Jeff "Swampy" Marsh, the Co-Creator of such great animated series like Phineas and Ferb and Milo Murphys Law. During that conversation we came to realize that for every Doofenshmirtz, theres a Major Francis Monogram. And that each Monogram has a little green Agent P, and a Carl. And that Carl might be more important than the Agent P, because who else will fetch the trousers if not for a Carl? By the way - Swampy is now doing Cameo's - and all the proceeds from his Cameo's benefit a charity called "A Walk on Water" that helps children with aquatic and surf therapy. Get a Cameo and give to a good cause!
