I guess I'd call him Jake, Jake...


Does anyone remember an episode with an older kid who was friends with Ricky Shroeder, called everybody jake? A few things i remember...

1) He says something to Ricky like, "Hey jake, how about some gas money?" Ricky (rich) hands him a ten dollar bill. The older kid puts in his pocket and Ricky says, "how about some change?" and the older kid tosses him a quarter.

2) The dad says to him, "So you call everyone Jake?" Kid says, "Yeah, i guess it's just my thing." Dad, "What will you do if some day you meet someone named Jake?" Kid thinks for a few seconds and says, "I guess I'd call him Jake, Jake (calling dad Jake)" Awesome line
