They ran that show on an independent station in Boston one summer during the 70s. I have to say, I thought it was pretty bad. I can just imagine the writers pitching the idea for the show to Al Waxman
Writer: Okay, okay, I got it. You run a convenience store.
Al Waxman: Yeah and...?
Writer: And people come in the store and you get involved in their lives.
Al Waxman: What person who runs a convenience store gets involved in people's lives?
Writer: Why not?
Al Waxman: So someone comes in to buy a pack of cigarettes and all of a sudden I'm getting them out of a jam? I could see if I was a pharmacist because a pharmacist knows what's wrong with everybody that comes in.
Writer: I know, but convenience stores are very popular right now.
Al Waxman: No they're not, they used to be.
Writer: Oh yeah, like you know.
Al Waxman: Oh like you do.
I just couldn't wrap my head around him having such a cute wife. I pictured him as more of a Bella Bruck kind of guy.

Let’s just focus on relaxing tonight (what the nurse said while injecting me with a vial of drugs) So this "nurse". She your supplier? Let me tell you something. You may be feeling all high and far out right now, but down the road you're just gonna end up like all the other drug users. Lying in an alley somewhere, freezing to death. Strung out on a 50-dollar Jones. Just begging for one more hit. How many times are you going to need that one fix to get you through your day? Well, take a good look around you. Kids like you ending up in jail or dead because they couldn't get that monkey off their back. That what you want? Because it's a long ride. And there's no going back. nuts: Nah. I'll be fine.

How did he fling that in the air? Flinging a pizza in the air is all for show. It accomplishes nothing. Just let the pizza lie out in the scorching sun for a few hours like this guy.

Is this like how the reporter shows it's so hot that you can fry an egg on the road? Customer: This pizza tastes like dirt! Pizza guy: Well, I baked it on the street.
