This week we take a listen back to Don Rickles' famous 1968 comedy album "Hello Dummy!" which was chosen in 2025 for preservation in the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress for its cultural significance. Mindy reveals that she and her brother had a guard in the hotel in Vegas because of the kidnapping of Frank Sinatra Jr, and it is made clear that Don made fun of everyone regardless of race, religion, or sexuality.
