WHO AM I? VIII

Protruding yet hidden under a soft sweater rubbing against them.
Dr. Bros nips were so unclassified the color of them are clear. Lol.

 

She can poke my eye out as much as she likes as long as im able to poke her back.

 

Finally, another woman who knows more about boxing than I do!

(ps: she became super famous too after this show!)

 

Ok, I will say this:
When I was a kid I had this problem where I constantly wondered who am I?

When I was about ten I decided I am a young girl. lol..)in a boy's body of course)

So I will say, you are you, and that is a great thing for the rest of the world.

 

I question her expertise. Remember the quiz show scandal? They probably fed her the answers. Has that come up in previous posts?

 

See the clip below when Ms. Joyce Brothers actually won the 64k.

I didn't know much about this until @Saintpat referenced it. My readings so far don't suggest any improprieties surrounding Ms. Brothers but apparently there were in relation to other game shows and or contestants. Ms. Brothers chose boxing as her subject. I believe either prior to the linked show Ms. Joyce was given three boxing books to study (I believe this is at the tail end of the clip Pat linked).

As Pat said she had a high IQ and a photographic memory apparently. I read that prior to going on the show, she worked out with her husband that the best subject to run with would be a subject that would generally only require finite answers. They short listed to Boxing and Plumbing (lol, but true) and ultimately opted for boxing. Again, apparently the show didn't want her to win and another issue they had with her was that she refused to wear make-up (dang, she looked good without it) and that also upset the show's sponsor Revlon.

They asked her very tough questions, including sub questions and the number of answers required from in her total was 16. Note the guy who incorrectly challenged her answer to which round did Moore KO Olson in 1955 was none other than Tommy Loughran himself. Not sure how Tommy confused the KO round, Archie and Bobo fought in the same year the episode was filmed.

Fascinating. I don't know if I trust her a hundred percent or not. Who among us could have correctly answered all the questions she got right? I bet none of us.

 

From what I’ve read so far, I think she was legit.

She also later won the top prize on The $64,000 Challenge, in 1957 I think - her subject being boxing again.

It was that show that apparently had some rigging claims - but not related to Joyce Brothers participation.

The questions were hard but not impossible - I knew a few, but a photographic memory is what it is - very handy.

 

They tried to stump her in the clip I provided by asking four referee questions — figuring even if she knew boxing results (or studied/memorized them) she’d probably neglect referees because people generally wouldn’t pay attention to officiating … but she absorbed and retained it all and nailed it.

Dr Joyce was also, apparently, the first female commentator on a televised boxing match. Playing off her $64K Question fame, CBS hired her in that capacity for Ray Robinson vs. Carmen Basilio. Maybe someone can dig up that footage and link.

 

My God I would have done some unspeakable things to her, given half a chance.

Hopefully we live in an age where comments such as the above don't constitute objectifying a clearly extremely intelligent woman, but rather just expressing my appreciation for her loveliness.

 

She knocked out Loughran in the final round to win it all!!

I know we sometimes get these questions like name four people from boxing history who you’d like to have over for dinner. Mark me down for Dr. Joyce Brothers as one of my choices. A lovely and fascinating woman.

 

Brains and beauty, killer combination.

I’m all in.

“Ms Brothers, talk to dirty to me”.

In response, Joyce begins to recite Nat Fleischer’s Pictorial History of Boxing, word for word, from start to finish.

If it all becomes too overwhelming, the agreed safe word will be MMA.

More seriously, the host of the show was a real putz - focused more on commiserating on Loughran’s incorrect challenge than celebrating the amazing win by the 5’, 110 lb titan beside him.

Even with Revlon as the sponsor she refused make up - what a statement in 1955 - and she looked great without it.

She looked so cute touching her face in disbelief - HER moment - yet she was being rudely ignored.

I wouldn’t sneeze at 64k now, but it was worth a truck load back then and Ms Brothers went on to win another 64k in 1957.

Even in her advancing years she made talking sex and relationships fun.

She appeared at least once on the Conan O’Brien, very smart, very funny and very much “up” with it all.

 

Absolutely! Great choice.

 

Should be okay to sneak in this Joyce Brothers blooper from Happy Days. Just as well 64k wasn’t at stake for getting your lines right first go.

She would’ve said this particular word intentionally and appropriately a million times before during her career - it was bound to “blooper” in at some stage.

Great job, Greg!
