Happy Sunday Night, Angela Bowen here, the host o Together, We're Gonna ind Our Way: An Unofficial Silver Spoons Podcast. On this week's podcast episode, Ricky and Arnold get themselves into some serious trouble after Ricky’s hacking skills lead him to a military site and the FBI is alerted to their activity in S1E7: The Great Computer Caper, which aired on November 6, 1982. In this episode Ricky tries to impress a student reporter by hacking into a secret military computer site, but the FBI closes in after the material ends up in the school newspaper. The boys decide their only way out is to hitch a ride on a tramp steamer. Wow, I may not be a computer genius but this sounds a little far fetched, but hey I’m intrigued. Not to mention this is Edward’s computer, so I bet he’s gonna be super not happy. How much ya wanna bet Edward bans Ricky from using the computer for a long time. Next week's episode is a cute one, when Ricky finds an abandoned orangutan and decides to keep it as a pet in S1E8: I'm Just Wild About Harry, which aired on November 13, 1982. We also get another appearance by Derek. In this episode while out with Derek on a late-night expedition to look for Bigfoot, Ricky captures and brings home an escaped orangutan that he wants to keep as a pet. Have a great week everyone!
