J.J. Becomes a Man: Part 2 - S2-E3

Visible crew/equipment: At the police station, when Florida is begging James to borrow money from the loan shark, she and James stand up; Florida is on the left, James the right. At the top of Florida's head behind her, you can see the microphone dip into view overhead, and it moves quickly out of the frame. Then it's visible again as Florida and James walk toward the loan shark. (00:18:00 - 00:33:00)

Questions

The Gang: Part 1 - S2-E9

Question: Neck Bone and Sweet Pea are referred to by Florida as their real names, Tyrone and Sylvester. Do we know which name goes to which guy? (I've always wondered this).

Answer: Neck Bone is Sylvester and Sweet Pea is Tyrone.

For some reason, I always thought it was the other way around but really no way of knowing. I'm assuming your answer is based on how Florida looks their directions near the end of the episode while saying their names.

They are listed as such on IMDb.com. So it is possible to check. Doug Grant played Sweet Pea and Michael D. Roberts played Neck Bone.
