Discuss The Dick Cavett Show

Catch it if you can. Guests include Benny Goodman, Celeste Holm and Clement Freud. Freud, the noted writer, politician, etc. (and grandson of Sigmund Freud), was quite witty. At one point they're discussing myths about alleged aphrodisiacs. Freud says that the notion that oysters are an aphrodisiac is a myth, because he once ate 12 oysters, but only eight of them worked. Later, he explains that the British have invented a pill for male virility, but men must be careful to swallow it quickly or else they may get a stiff neck.

He also told an amusing, true anecdote about the large amount of weight he lost in preparation for riding a horse in a race; and how he also gained back 15 pounds right after the race.
