What? No commentary on Gene? He and Rodger listed movie cliches. One was 'the car chase that always ends up with a car crashing into a fruit stand'. A few years later, a movie was produced that had a 'car chase that ended with a car crashing into a fruit stand'. If you look closely at the scene, there is a sign above the stand "Gene and Rodger's Fruit Stand'. They ran this clip on their show. RIP Gene...we'll all be joining you in that great-balcony-in-the-sky, eventually. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.67.104.4 (talk) 17:40, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Court martial?

Re: trivia section. Why did Gene once testify at a court martial? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cwoodw1 (talk • contribs) 15:30, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, that piqued my interest, too. He mentions it rather casually on the video that is cited and doesn't give any details. It'd be interesting to elaborate on if someone knows more details. It doesn't say in the article whether he ever served in the military, either. --YellowTapedR 21:09, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Also in the trivia section there are two bullets that contradict each other: the first says his favorite movie is Saturday Night Fever while the next bullet says his favorite movie is Dr. Stranglove. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.238.13.175 (talk) 21:08, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
