“Freaky Friday” And Other Bon Mots

I remember reading the book “Freaky Friday” as a child, then enjoying the movie with Jamie Lee Curtis (she was on the screen, not next to me in the theater). The book, published in 1972, is a timeless concept where two people — in this case a mother and daughter — switch bodies and, as any promo will tell you, hilarity ensues.

The hook works whether it’s a mother and daughter, or Brian and Stewie (“ha ha ha, did that dog just say ‘what the deuce’?”), so why not a couple of right-handed relievers? Enter the wacky Oakland duo of Blake Treinen and Liam Hendriks, neither of whom is likely to be played by Lindsay Lohan any time soon.
