John, I knew a guy who worked for Chiquita Banana back in 1995ish who was your roommate in Boston. He told me funny stories about you and the time Bill Murray called looking for you and he answered the phone. I can't remember the guy's name, any recollection?

Heyy BB, sorry for the late repsonse. Might have been Peter LeBlond?

[buffalobraves9]

@therealspaulding That's him John...nice guy. We went out one night here in B-lo and got hammered. What's he up to now, any idea?

[therealspaulding]

No idea BB, haven't see him in years!

Alright, I was just watching Caddyshack on Sunday on AMC! I was here on Youtube trying to find Spaulding clips and found this! No matter how many times I've seen Caddyshack, if I see that it's on TV, I'll watch it again. I've always thought that Judge Smails and Spaulding were the best characters in the film. Anyhow, it's nice to see that you're doing well John. Hope to see part 2 soon. Thanks for the laughs!

Thanks for the kind words Mainsail, I'm happy to report that there is a 'Biography" Channel episode on Caddyshack that is now being filmed! Don't know the release date but will post it here when I find out when it will be aired. Take care! John B

John B! I'm black and your line: "it's the best man I got it from a NEEEEEEEGRO!" was probably the funniest thing I had ever heard in a movie at that time! I was only 12 when Caddyshack came out! LOL Glad to see your doing well! God Bless!

You have some of the most quoted lines in Caddyshack.

My one employee says the "I want a hamburger" bit so often (basically every time he picks up a menu) that I jokingly threated to throw things at him! :-)
