As you may have guessed from that title, this is not an episode of  These Days Are Ours: A Happy Days Podcast . Instead, it's a commentary track I recorded back in 2022 with the late, great Greg Javer. It was intended for a Blu-ray box set but got lost in the shuffle. Greg passed away recently, and I wanted to share this track with his friends. Enjoy!

This week, Fonzie meets Caligula! No, not really. But he goes back to ancient Rome and tangles with a fake Julius Caesar. Peter and Joe will tell you all about it when they review "There's No Place Like Rome."

Two amazing things happen this week: (1) Fonzie and the gang travel to 4th century Norway and do battle with a sorceress. (2) Cupcake gets a love interest. Peter and Joe discuss both of these things when they review "Fjords and Sorcery." You'd be a fool not to join them.
