About this episode
Hey, hey, we're thrilled to say that this week Phil & David are joined by a legendary entertainer and the last of The Monkees standing, the great Micky Dolenz. Over lunch from L.A.'s iconic Barney's Beanery, Phil offers a surprising and hilarious childhood confession that involves Micky. David discusses working with Micky and Neil Diamond on their first ever duet performance of "I'm A Believer." And Micky tells some fabulous stories about his exciting career in music, including time hanging out with The Beatles, as well as his years working as a TV director and showrunner in England. All this plus Micky discusses the origin story of The Monkees and shares some favorite memories of Mike Nesmith, Peter Tork and Davy Jones.
