90's nostalgia

0:02 Hey, everyone, welcome Ben. Hello.

0:05 Everyone another week and we're here.

0:08 Everyone is doing OK, everyone's having a great weekend so.

0:11 Far we hope, at least. I can only hope I mean.

0:14 That's a hope. How's your week going Ian, or

0:16 how was your week? It was all right.

0:18 I mean, no, actually, the whole. Let me think about that.

0:20 It was kind of irritating, honestly.

0:23 Irritating slightly. Yeah.

0:25 Because like you tell. So remember the call center job

0:28 that I got? Yeah.

0:30 Like no more. Yeah, because guess what?

0:33 My background check came back and I thought background checks

0:35 were only supposed to look for felonies, not misdemeanors.

0:37 You poor thing. I know.

0:39 So I'm so sorry. It's all right.

0:40 And like I'm trying to like dispute it, but I have to wait

0:45 for a letter in the mail from the company that did the

0:48 background check. So I'm waiting for that letter

0:50 to mail it back and be like, hey yo no what about my employment

0:54 guys? But beyond that?

0:56 Did you really like the job or is maybe this like a blessing in

0:59 disguise? I look, you think it was a

1:00 blessing in disguise because it later, like in the next day, on

1:05 like Tuesday, the day I was like the day after I was supposed to

1:07 start that call center job, I had an interview with FINA

1:11 Behavioral and Health. OK.

1:13 And the interview went great. They loved me like they offered.

1:17 Like I got the e-mail for the offer letter literally the same

1:20 day. Perfect.

1:21 See this does it does happen sometimes.

1:23 So it was low key in a blessing in disguise.

1:25 But now I have to go through all that training again with, you

1:29 know, like the 40 hour training for behavioral health.

1:33 It's a lot. It's more than 40 hours.

1:34 Honestly, they just say 40 hours.

1:36 So it makes a full work week, but it's a lot more.

1:39 Well, I hope everything works out with that on that end.

1:44 And you you're a weak. Well, I completely lied to

1:47 myself on if you wanna know the truth.

1:49 About the being a kid or about being.

1:51 I really thought I was all grown up.

1:53 I thought, I never thought that childhood nostalgia would reach

1:58 me peak childhood nostalgia would ever make its way to me.

2:02 And it did. It absolutely did.

2:05 Was it in the lied to myself? Was it in the form of the song

2:07 or was it in the form of like, just like you're saw some kids

2:10 wearing chokers? It is.

2:12 The entire fact that my favorite song from the 2000's, The

2:19 Eighteens, made a comeback single, it is iconic.

2:23 I iconic. Are those lyrics?

2:26 Those are. Oh my dear God, is that really

2:32 it? It is.

2:33 Oh, it is. You don't see.

2:34 You just don't know the eighteens.

2:36 You don't. You're not familiar.

2:37 You weren't. There are.

2:38 They like a theatre group. No, they're not a theatre group.

2:40 They are a Swedish pop band that brought back all the good ABBA

2:44 songs. And yes Baba yeah, I'm say I'm

2:46 going to say ABBA. Everyone corrects me.

2:48 I don't care. I like to say I can't change it

2:50 now. I.

2:51 Honestly think it's the Wisconsin in you or the.

2:53 No, because back then back back home, everybody still corrects

2:56 me. They just ABBA.

2:58 They still say ABBA over there, but yeah, even over in Chicago.

3:02 Chicago. Too.

3:02 Yeah, I think I've had a lot of people say ABBA to me.

3:05 I still just, I can't I say ABBA.

3:07 It's OK. I pronounce bacon weird, so it's

3:10 OK. There's more than one way to say

3:11 bacon. Not really.

3:12 What do you say, bacon? Bacon Bop.

3:14 Who said what the fuck? Says Bacon.

3:18 I do isolate it just for like a little twist.

3:22 I'm just like, did you? Take a trip to London at one

3:24 point and then that they just, they just stuck.

3:27 No, you hooked up with a Brit. Never mind, it's little.

3:31 Australian babe. It's Australian, my Australian.

3:35 Australian makes more sense. I love the Australian.

3:38 But we're talking about the Swedes right now.

3:40 Hello, this is Vedish people. That that, and they actually

3:44 don't sound like that. I know they speak with British

3:47 accents. I know the eighteens do speak

3:49 English. Anyways, they did come out with

3:51 a new single. They are actually working on

3:55 making their way to Eurovision, which is, you know, the big like

3:58 American Idol for Europe, except it's even bigger over there.

4:02 I don't know how or why, but it's staying on it.

4:04 It's a huge cultural phenomenon over.

4:06 There it is, and the Eighteens are competing for their spot in

4:11 the Eurovision competition. The prelims right now.

4:13 Or yeah, they actually just won the heat round and they're going

4:16 into the finals. This is a big festival in Sweden

4:19 where they. Yeah, it's like they just, they

4:22 pick their favorite song and it's just a whole process.

4:25 It's called Melody Festival in is the name of the hit.

4:30 Of the song that they're doing or the fair that they're.

4:32 No, that's the festival Melody. Festival then that's the name of

4:35 it. Festival in, Festival in.

4:37 That's the whole. That's the whole actual name.

4:40 I like how they say the word festival festival.

4:42 Festival in. So yeah, they won the heat round

4:46 and they are going into the finals.

4:48 Yeah, they just, they're on their way to making it.

4:52 They already made a comeback in my eyes, I think.

4:54 I mean, this is a comeback. I mean, I just, I wanna see them

4:58 win. OK, Speaking of comebacks,

5:00 though, I'm very disappointed. Why?

5:04 Hilary Duff is Hilary Duff released our album.

5:08 Yeah, I know she never was the biggest like.

5:11 She wasn't the best singer. She was more of an actress that.

5:14 They which is great singing, which was great, but she's like,

5:17 I have one more album. So like, I was really holding

5:19 out for this album. Yeah.

5:23 I was hoping it would be somewhat like Sparks or My Kind.

5:28 Is it bad? Hillary, I really hope you don't

5:30 listen to this eventually, but like it's I'm.

5:33 I expect terrible. I expect nothing less from

5:35 Hillary. She was.

5:35 It was terrible. They always forced her into

5:38 being a pop *. I'm sorry, but like, hey now,

5:41 that one song was like it was. It was a bop.

5:44 Hey now, hey now. Yeah, that one, that one was

5:46 about dreaming. That one was about, was that

5:48 Hillary? Yes, that was Hillary.

5:49 That was Miss Hillary. It does.

5:51 I must be confusing with a different song that uses like

5:53 the word like dreams are made of.

5:55 I don't know, but that was Miss Hillary.

5:57 OK, I actually it is starting to come back.

5:59 Since I was speaking, since we're speaking out.

6:00 Nostalgia. I, I think, I think, I think

6:03 Hilary Duff has more fun making fun of her dance.

6:08 The the dance routine that everyone makes fun of where she

6:11 just puts no effort into it whatsoever.

6:13 She was on like Good Morning America.

6:14 Oh yeah, that's, that's great. She, I mean she did, had no

6:19 effort. She put no effort, had no head

6:22 in the game for that song and then that dance.

6:24 And now she has more fun making fun of it and does it does it

6:28 better that she she did back then.

6:30 It's so funny. I it's hysterical.

6:32 I I'm glad to see Hilary Duff having a moment fun actually

6:36 just being happy. She we have to give Hillary

6:39 credit. Oh, I give her all the credit,

6:40 like for not going crazy. I was just gonna say that yes,

6:43 absolutely. Hilary Duff is the only the only

6:46 one that I can really think of. Christy Carlson Romano would be

6:49 another one that I can think of that I really didn't ever lose

6:51 her mind. But she wasn't as big as

6:53 Hillary. She.

6:54 She would have been Ren on Even Stevens.

6:56 She never really. Lost.

6:57 She was impossible. I mean, we all know Shia

6:59 Labeouf's an absolute fucking train.

7:01 Wreck. I thought he was homeless now.

7:02 I he looks like it. Did you hear about like the New

7:05 Orleans and the Mardi Gras thing?

7:07 Oh God, he's a shit show. I'm not surprised he's been

7:09 arrested, let out, arrested again and he's homophobic and.

7:14 Of course he is. Gay men or something at Oh, it's

7:17 a disaster anyways. Poor.

7:19 Guy they all go crazy at some point except for Hilary Duff.

7:24 Yeah. We have to give her a lot of.

7:26 Credit. I give her all the credit in the

7:27 world. She still looks great.

7:29 And after having like two or three kids, she had kids.

7:33 Yeah, she's had kids. Haven't kept that.

7:34 She's had kids. I haven't kept that.

7:36 It was so funny too. She had an interview one time

7:38 and she was talking about like, her kids.

7:39 And they were like, do your kids know who you are?

7:42 And she's telling the story about her one son, like, finally

7:45 discovered who she was. And he was like, I know who you

7:48 are. You're kind of like, it was so

7:52 funny. I don't know why, but she was,

7:53 like, explaining the story. It was just so cute.

7:55 It was adorable. But yeah, she had like two kids.

7:57 The Funny OK, so that reminds me of a Funny Story with Allison

8:00 Hannigan from the American Pie movies and How I Met your Mother

8:06 and all that out the redhead. You know what we're talking

8:08 about, right? OK, go.

8:09 That makes this so much easier. I do.

8:11 So I guess she was out with her kids in public and she hates

8:15 when people bring up the one time at band camp joke.

8:19 Jesus Christ, that's almost every.

8:20 And she says she's like, you would be surprised.

8:22 I forget where she was on an interview with Jimmy Fallon or

8:25 one of those famous guys. Yeah, and she said just her

8:29 biggest pet peeve. And it drives her nuts when

8:31 she's in public and people want to come up and talk about day at

8:33 van camp, one day at van camp. And she's just like, he ha ha.

8:37 OK. Dying inside.

8:39 Come on. Like dying inside, like Jesus

8:41 Christ, you're so bad for that. She's.

8:43 But I think she handles it like a champ.

8:45 She handles it in the most Allison Hannigan way you can

8:47 possibly handle it. True.

8:48 Apparently she's just just as cute as she is on TV.

8:52 That's adorable. Thank God for consistency.

8:54 Yeah. So no, I, I, the eighteens

8:58 really ushered in a whole lot of nostalgia for me lately.

9:00 I really, really lied to myself about this.

9:02 Like, I really just want to go back and begin and start over

9:06 again. It was so fun back in the 90s,

9:08 really. We played, we went outside.

9:11 Oh, I know that. We didn't sit on tablets inside

9:13 and everything. Yeah, we had gaming systems and.

9:16 Everything we had, Nintendo 64 and Nintendo I.

9:19 Was a cute guy. I love the cute.

9:21 I did love the cute. I feel like it was very unusual.

9:24 It was very niche I. Don't it was niche.

9:27 Yeah, I guess that's a good way to say it.

9:29 So, but like I just, I think the nostalgia hits harder when you

9:32 think of there's no you go around the neighborhood, there's

9:35 no. Literally no one.

9:37 There's literally no one. And you know, growing up you

9:40 would see a house, there's always one house with like 10

9:43 bikes sitting outside, roller blades, everything.

9:46 Ours wasn't. See that?

9:47 Ours wasn't the house. Ours was like those giant green

9:49 electrical boxes. Like we would all just gather

9:52 around those giant ass like green electrical boxes and we

9:55 would just hang out on those supreme boxes like every single

9:57 day. And also like when I was like.

9:59 That's really all there is to do in Vegas.

10:01 No, of course not. Of course not.

10:04 That was just like during like middle school or something.

10:06 I was guess just like electrical boxes.

10:08 No, that's that's it. That's electrical boxes.

10:10 But you contribute to this conversation.

10:12 Yeah, you're on electrical boxes.

10:13 Add more. Really.

10:14 No. To add more so I had SO.

10:17 Sorry listeners will. Shut up a little work on this.

10:19 So I had this one best friend. She's still like my best friend

10:22 to this day. Her name is Callie.

10:23 Hi Callie. She, her and I, like I would go

10:27 to her house like almost every day and we would like kind of

10:31 basically have therapy sessions, but we would just literally walk

10:33 around the block like 50 times. And like her parents were so

10:37 cool with me. Like I stayed over like almost

10:39 every like there was one night just eating her toast at 2:00 AM

10:44 and her dad was just like who came down?

10:46 He was like, it's you OK, it's fine.

10:49 Thinking I was like some other guy he was about to have throw a

10:53 shit fit and he was just like, no, it's just you.

10:56 You're fine, You're cool. See, when I was growing up, we

11:03 were in a brand new subdivision. It was like ours was part of

11:06 like, like the 2000s housing boom, I guess.

11:09 Like right in the 2000s when they all started just building

11:12 homes everywhere, big giant subdivisions.

11:13 At least this was all over in Mervyn, Illinois.

11:15 There was just huge housing. Developments same in big.

11:17 Subdivisions, same in, yes, it was everywhere.

11:20 So everyone kind of moved in at the same time and it was all

11:22 families and we all just happened to be around the same

11:25 age. Same.

11:25 So yeah, we kind of all kind of grew up together at the same

11:29 time in the same subdivision. And it's kind of fun to go back

11:32 to that subdivision because you can well, of course, but like

11:36 just to see how how much everything has grown, all the

11:40 landscape and all the trees, all the brush it just like you can

11:43 actually tell how old the subdivision is just by looking

11:47 at the trees. Yes, you can.

11:48 So that brings me to another story of deer.

11:51 OK, so in my subdivision when I was driving home on day, granted

11:55 this is a little like like early 2000s, just past the nights, but

11:59 early 2000s I was driving home and like on my neighborhood, you

12:03 have to like it's like an E kind of a shape.

12:06 So there's like one straight away.

12:07 And then there's a whole bunch of streets that like branch off

12:10 of it. So one of those streets, one of

12:13 those corner houses, one of the corner houses, their daughter

12:17 like ran like sprinted out in front of my car and I almost hit

12:21 her. I didn't thank God, but she's

12:23 like sprinted out in front of my car.

12:24 And the dad was like infuriated. I was just like, dude, she came

12:28 in front of me. So you need to teach your

12:29 daughter better. But they were still so mad about

12:33 me almost hitting her daughter. So the next a week goes by and

12:38 there's a new speed limit sign buying their house that says to

12:42 eat lament is 17 mph. This means you with a million

12:45 exclamation points under it. And it was tied up with just

12:49 regular rope to a light post next to their house.

12:52 Gosh. So the day I was like, we were

12:54 moving out of that house, I cut it down and I've had it ever

12:57 since until I was robbed and I had that sign for a while.

13:04 I had to like hanging up on my wallet everything for a while.

13:06 I was driving around the subdivision one time after I got

13:08 my license and I saw this guy with his shirt off.

13:12 And so I was like circling around the block again to see

13:15 him. And I was like my best friend's

13:17 dad. I'm like, oh, whoops, sorry,

13:22 Earl. Goodbye, Earl.

13:26 He was dad. He was daddy as fuck.

13:29 I mean, is it bad that I? Hi, Earl, if you're listening.

13:35 I mean, I've seen a lot of those videos.

13:37 Just saying. I did.

13:39 I circled the block because I was like, God, who is that?

13:42 And the new guy that said. Best friend's dad, Hi.

13:46 It's just Chelsea's dad, best friend's dad.

13:49 Hi dad. So in these, in the subdivision,

13:53 in these new homes, what are in this new home?

13:56 What were you watching? Like what, what was like your

13:58 favorite TV? Do you like old sitcoms?

14:01 Cuz like, what am I the segue? When I think of 90s and 2000s

14:05 TVI think of sitcoms. Sitcoms were a big one, sure.

14:09 Yeah. I don't know cuz I was, yeah.

14:15 What were you watching? Like, as far as like as far as

14:17 like sitcoms go. Sitcoms.

14:19 Yeah. Like what sitcoms?

14:21 If you weren't watching sitcoms, what other stuff were you

14:23 watching? So as far as like Saturday

14:25 morning cartoons, there was I have like a list.

14:28 I never did the Saturday morning cartoons.

14:31 I know we had cable Nickelodeon. I never.

14:34 Like I had Nickelodeon too, but like.

14:35 I know, but it wasn't that for like only if you had like

14:38 antenna like you had to do the Saturday morning because that

14:41 was the only time that cartoons would be on Saturday morning.

14:45 If you had the. Four or five channel antenna.

14:47 I don't I don't know that part, but like so Saturday morning

14:49 cartoons, I have a list. There was this one called

14:52 Shaolin Showdown. It was so much wise, the Shaolin

14:55 Showdown. It was about like, it was

14:57 basically like what? Channel.

14:58 Was that on? It was I was either it was no

15:01 Cartoon Network, I didn't I don't know.

15:02 It was something. So it was basically like Avatar

15:07 and like peewee version like it doesn't make sense like.

15:12 No. No.

15:15 Nothing. Avatar.

15:15 Was that OK, so there. I remember.

15:17 So you're not talking Avatar? Like not the blue.

15:19 People, the blue people. You're talking Avatar the

15:21 Airbender vendor. Yeah, right.

15:23 OK, which let's watch that. It was a but I know what you're

15:26 talking about. The guy with the arrow on his

15:27 head. Yeah, that was a part of my list

15:29 though my Saturday. Cartoon.

15:30 That was very Cartoon Network. I was more Nickelodeon.

15:32 OK. So Nicola, OK.

15:34 So then what kind of shows were you watching on Nickelodeon?

15:37 On Nickelodeon, definitely SpongeBob.

15:40 Definitely a ton of SpongeBob. I think.

15:42 I think I've mentioned this before, yes.

15:44 That way that I had watched SpongeBob a little bit as I've

15:48 gotten older. You said it doesn't it doesn't

15:50 hit, it doesn't hit the same. I mean, I still love it though,

15:54 Like I still love growing up. It was so fun.

15:57 But Scooby was another one and I could actually still watch

16:00 Scooby Scooby just see the live action, the cartoon, a pop named

16:03 scooby-doo, if anyone even knows that one.

16:06 Those are all really. I just I wish that they would

16:08 keep coming out with more Scooby live action movies or cartoons.

16:14 I think there are more cartoons, but there's it's different

16:16 animation voices, it's fun and fun.

16:19 It all changes. You know, it's like a fun fact.

16:22 So ever since the live action Scooby-doo movies in like 2002

16:27 thousand whatever the guy who plays Shaggy, they asked him to

16:32 voice every Scooby-doo cartoon since he has been Shaggy has

16:36 been Shaggy since they love it. That No, I think I did know

16:39 that. I forget his name, but he is.

16:42 The only other thing I saw him in is he was the killer in the

16:45 screen in the very first screen movie.

16:47 Was he? Yeah, he was.

16:49 OK, so while we're on it, I'm over.

16:52 No, I'm a why? That's my that's one of my

16:55 favorite franchise. Halloween's my favorite

16:57 franchise. I'm done, but.

16:59 Screen, you're done. On screen, I'm done.

17:01 Now Campbell's coming back. Yeah, that's the problem.

17:04 He's back again. After how long?

17:06 I didn't have Campbell's the lead actress.

17:08 I know. Just no, I'm sorry.

17:11 They have beep. I'm sorry.

17:12 I can't. They have milked.

17:13 They have milked this cow for as long as they have.

17:16 I agree with that discussed. They need to stop.

17:18 And they brought Jenna Ortega in, thinking she was going to be

17:21 kind. Of the revital.

17:22 Ushering then this new era, right?

17:24 She's no I. I do have to agree.

17:27 Courtney Cox is my birthday twin.

17:31 So I anything she teaches turn to cope.

17:33 Congratulations me, Cox is my birthday twin.

17:35 Congratulations. Same year or that's different

17:37 years, different years, right, because she's a lot of the

17:39 definitely yeah, I'm not for seeing you sorry, but no, yeah,

17:44 I'm over. I'm over scream scream can I'm

17:46 scream franchise. I'm sorry.

17:48 I'm over. You guys need to stop because

17:50 like they have like, I'm sorry at this point.

17:52 And there's only so many storylines you can do with that,

17:55 right? With that kind I know.

17:57 And I'm sorry, the last one that I don't know if it was the last

17:59 one or I don't know, but the one where they went New York and

18:03 they. And they didn't have Campbell in

18:05 that. One, No, they didn't.

18:05 She she was insulted by what they were gonna pay her.

18:08 I was so I don't know, there's a sense of realism that needs to

18:12 happen with these scary movies, I feel.

18:14 And with Strained they lost touch with it.

18:16 Their like realistic point of view as far as like on how to

18:20 make a scary movie actually scary because.

18:24 It's all been done. Before it's all been done.

18:25 I think it's all been done by this point.

18:27 It's all been done. Also, if you were in like, a

18:30 bodega in New York with just a knife and there's officers,

18:35 like, shooting at you, I'm sorry, you're gonna die.

18:39 There's no way you're just gonna be able to, like, walk out,

18:41 like, free. And the same thing with the

18:43 Halloween movies too. I do love Halloween still, and I

18:46 just keep watching them over and over as they come out.

18:49 I really do. But how many times?

18:52 Are we going to have the same story?

18:53 Like how? Many times are we going to kill

18:56 Mike Myers and he's just going to come back.

18:58 Can I say though, I do like his origin story.

19:00 I don't know what movie it was but it was his origin story 1.

19:03 I think it was the remake of the first one.

19:06 Are you talking about Halloween? I think so, yeah.

19:08 Yeah. Rob the Rob Zombie remake I

19:11 think is what the. One with Jamie Lee Curtis.

19:14 She's an all of them, I think. Or almost all of them.

19:17 Well, good for her, but like the one where she's like an older

19:18 woman and she has like a daughter who's a nurse.

19:22 I think that's the remake. I'm pretty sure that that's and

19:24 that is a good one. I do have to agree.

19:26 That was great. It it that one totally

19:29 revitalized Halloween. Absolutely.

19:31 I I do get what you're saying about Scream, though.

19:33 It is. We are getting to a point.

19:35 No, we're past the point, but the money's coming in.

19:37 Otherwise they wouldn't be doing it.

19:39 I know still eating it up. I.

19:41 I don't see it's wild to me the fact that people are still.

19:45 I mean, it's not wild honestly, because people won't buy

19:46 anything. True.

19:48 But like, can we not think of a new mask?

19:51 Can we? Can we not, can we try to get

19:53 some creativity, like put teeth in the mask or something?

19:55 I don't know. I don't know, give it eyebrows

19:57 something. Ghost Face needs some veneers.

20:00 Yeah, that'll solve everything. Give them a good brow.

20:03 An arch bitch brow. It'd be great if you kind.

20:06 But see, I, I just, they, they built a name for themselves a

20:10 long time ago and they're still riding that high and you gotta

20:12 applaud them. I mean, I mean, going on how

20:15 many years? I wear a 20. 30 years or

20:18 something that this has been going going on and fun fact, did

20:21 you know apparently even if this isn't true, I found out though

20:26 that even if it isn't true, it's still funny.

20:28 I found out that Drew Barrymore, I guess there what like the

20:35 phone on stage was actually I guess hooked up or something.

20:38 And she actually did call 911 and they wanted to respond to

20:42 her because they thought that they was actually was actually

20:44 like being killed. And she was supposed to be Neve

20:47 Campbell's partner. She was supposed to be Sydney

20:49 Prescott, I guess. And she turned down.

20:52 I forgot why she turned it down, but I I still like calling.

20:56 Oh, she was that that opening scene of Scream is one of the

21:00 most iconic scenes in cinematic history.

21:03 Yeah. Cinematic, cinematic.

21:04 OK, cinematic history. Yeah, no, it definitely is.

21:07 But I guess she actually did call like 911 and like the phone

21:11 was actually like hot. It was there was actually

21:14 someone on the other end that's. Funny.

21:16 Actually, it's kind of. Funny, but it is one of the IT

21:18 is the best start to a horror movie.

21:21 I absolutely agree. Back to the Halloween 1, the

21:24 revamped one. That was a good start too.

21:26 I feel. I feel so bad.

21:27 I felt for Michael like I liked his.

21:30 Sponsors are created. I liked his origin story.

21:33 I I I it. It reminds me of the part in

21:36 Wicked. Are people born wicked or do

21:39 they have wickedness thrust upon them?

21:41 So about wicked like sidebar. That's millennial.

21:45 Let's say Wicked is early 2000s. That that falls in line with the

21:49 topic. Sure, why not.

21:51 But real quick segue. So when I went to go see it, and

21:54 so the first wicked one, I went to go see it in the first.

21:57 Wicked was good. I had no expectations, so I was

21:59 delightfully surprised when I was actually.

22:00 Decent. Did you actually know what was

22:02 going on in Wicked though? Like the first seen the musical?

22:04 Did you know anything about Wicked?

22:06 The only thing I know about Wicked is that, like, way back

22:08 when I was younger, we, our choir director, was in the

22:13 Broadway's production of Mamma Mia and she loved Wicked.

22:16 So she tried to like have like the youths do, like off, off,

22:20 off. It was a trained right.

22:21 It was awful. It was terrible.

22:23 But she thought, how old? I was like 10 or 12, maybe 14 at

22:28 oldest. I don't know.

22:30 So the only thing that I have like, no, we're not gonna do

22:32 laughs, no. Aw.

22:34 No, not no. He just.

22:35 Slapped my hand away from. The still, I mean, because it

22:37 wasn't worthy of a laugh, but anyways, so that was the only

22:40 thing I that was the only knowledge of really that I had

22:42 of wicked was her fail, not failed, but her off, off, off,

22:47 off, off probably. That is a horrible introduction

22:50 to one of the best private productions of all time.

22:53 And the way they like, the way it was like explained to me back

22:57 then, I was like, oh, it's like the witch's story.

23:00 I was like, OK, well, why do we want to do that?

23:02 Like I don't get why this story was already been told but then

23:06 it's a. Powerful back back story.

23:07 I guess it completely revolutionizes your viewpoint.

23:13 As far as the wicked. On the Wicked Witch.

23:16 So that being said, I went to go see it.

23:19 I was delightfully surprised and when I went so I was

23:23 delightfully surprised. So when the second one for good

23:25 came out, I was at least expecting the same caliber as

23:29 far as quality goes. From your performance.

23:35 From like the SO from my from me watching the first one 2, I had

23:39 like that as like a standard for at least the okay second one for

23:43 good. The second one, second one is a

23:45 shit show. The second one your disappointed

23:48 in your. Choir band that you had could

23:51 have done a better job than disappointed than the second.

23:54 So disappointed they were so. Disappointed.

23:56 So disappointed. I I think I I realized why they

24:01 had to do it. The second part.

24:03 Well, what they what I mean by what I mean by that is they had

24:07 to they had to put in a lot of love jumbo fluff.

24:11 They had to fluff it up. They had to really kind of see

24:14 add in because the second first of all, if you want to breakdown

24:19 me, here's the thing. If you want to breakdown musical

24:21 theater, the first act is always the best.

24:23 There's a given there is. That's a given.

24:25 It is a specific formula to musicals for some reason.

24:28 The first act is always the best.

24:30 The second there the the last song of the first act is always

24:36 the finale sound. That's always the Best Song.

24:38 The finale song of the first act is always the Best Song of the

24:40 whole music. And in this case, it was defying

24:42 gravity. Which is always which is defying

24:44 gravity. And then and then there's always

24:46 like a empowering kind of song about 1520 minutes into the show

24:53 as well of the first act. So you have the a power anthem

24:57 and the finale. Well, the wizard denies and

24:59 that's very common, about 1520 minutes to show.

25:01 Then they put in a real banger to like hook it in.

25:04 This is all pretty normal musical stuff.

25:07 Music musical, kind of like the timelines.

25:09 Yeah, the origins of like how it's made the timeline of a of a

25:14 musical. And the second act sucks.

25:17 The second act is just cleaning up the first act.

25:19 The second act usually is just. It's just clean the cleanup.

25:22 I felt OK, so I think they kept it too close to the theatre 1 to

25:26 the theatre version because I felt like they'd had so much

25:28 potential, like as far as like going from like the Wizard of Oz

25:32 and the first Wicked and like even the book, like they had so

25:35 much to go off of as far as like the second movie went like the

25:40 entire like Tin man story in the book.

25:42 He's like a murderer. Like he's a murderer.

25:44 Like he's. AI know I've actually read the

25:47 book the actual Wizard of Oz. I've actually read the real

25:51 book. The the tin man is actually like

25:54 the hero. I mean he's he's murderous.

25:56 Actually, you're right. He like he literally he's an axe

26:00 murderer actually in the book and he's actually like a hero.

26:02 The Tin Man is everything in the book book.

26:06 In the book. He really is.

26:08 Although I do have to give it up to what was Ethan Slater,

26:11 whatever his name is, who played who, who played him in the

26:13 movie? Ethan Slater, right?

26:15 The. Tin Man, Bach.

26:17 The tin? Yeah, Bach, I don't know, but

26:20 that's actually Ariana's real boyfriend or something.

26:22 Good for them. Anyways, besides the point I.

26:25 Can do so much better, OK. Anyways, I mean, have you

26:27 actually seen him? He's wrapped like he's ripped.

26:30 Not my type. Not my type either, but he's

26:32 ripped so anyways, and he's also short too, so it's kind of like

26:35 a good like anyways, I know it's not for you.

26:38 He's dating Ari anyways. But like I was actually kind of

26:41 like I was happy with his performance in the second one

26:44 because like I would be pissed too.

26:47 I was just turned to fucking aluminum.

26:48 Like fucking I'm angry too, bitch.

26:51 And I will say I hated, I hated, I hated Nessa in the second

26:56 part. She became a whiny bitch.

26:59 This movie gave a lot of character to her whereas the the

27:02 the actual theatre show. She's hardly mentioned.

27:05 Really. Not really, no.

27:06 Yeah, She's not really in it a whole lot.

27:09 I mean this one really, I guess my thing is how many people have

27:14 read the book or books there that second act, I've read the

27:20 book and I still don't even know where some of that stuff.

27:23 It must not have been the Wizard of Oz book.

27:25 It has to be like the Wicked Witch.

27:27 I guess these are the wicked books.

27:28 But how many people have actually read these books?

27:30 Not many that know what is going on in that second.

27:33 In that second, not many, not many.

27:36 So no one. It was just kind of this mumbo

27:38 jumbo of just kind of the the show and the book.

27:42 I felt like I didn't play catch up every scene.

27:44 It wasn't. I didn't.

27:45 I didn't care for it and I didn't see why other people did.

27:48 But the the second act of a musical isn't very long.

27:51 It's just the cleanup from the first act.

27:52 So you maybe have 45 minutes. That's not enough time for a

27:55 movie. I mean, they were able to like

27:58 make it out to two hours, so. Yeah, they had to fluff the fuck

28:02 out of. It, but they also fluffed the

28:03 fuck out of the first one too. That first one stayed pretty

28:07 close. It was.

28:08 It was. Really close to the to the.

28:11 But there was only one show. But there was a lot of cinematic

28:13 choices that could have been like at least trimmed by like a

28:15 good 30 seconds. I don't know.

28:17 You know that girl in the bubble song with Arias?

28:20 Unnecessary. Awful, not unnecessary.

28:23 It was boring. It was Ari.

28:26 You can do so much, but she, she is a pop star.

28:30 It was just, it wasn't a pop song.

28:32 It wasn't a pop ballad. It wasn't.

28:35 It wasn't. It was not anything.

28:36 It wasn't anything. It was just there for fluff.

28:38 It was. Just there to also the placement

28:40 of it takes. Space, like you were literally

28:43 out on the balcony looking at all these fucking mobs and kill

28:45 her, melt her, whatever. And you're just like, go in,

28:48 look into a mirror and talk about a bubble.

28:52 Your best friend's like there's mobs wanting to kill your best

28:54 friend. I just wanted more from the

28:56 song. The song was flat it.

28:58 Was boring. There was no climax.

29:00 No climax there was. No peak.

29:03 It was just boring. I didn't care for that one.

29:06 But no, that that was a bad one that I did not care for that

29:10 whole. Movie.

29:12 Anyway back-to-back to nostalgic 90s.

29:14 What other shows did you watch? Because when I was growing up

29:17 with the cartoon versions, like, yeah, sitcoms were like a thing.

29:20 Which I will say iCarly popped. I just like iCarly as a sitcom.

29:24 OK. That was Nickelodeon, right?

29:26 I think so, yeah. OK.

29:27 So I swear I must have missed the Nickelodeon teenager shows.

29:33 Because that was a wave, OK? She was like Drake and Josh.

29:36 I missed it all, iCarly missed it all, missed it all.

29:39 Victorious. Had no idea who Ariana Grande

29:43 was, what character she played until she came out with her.

29:48 She problems. Yeah, so she just started

29:50 singing music and just started performing live.

29:53 Yeah, that was when I found out who Ariana Grande was.

29:55 Everyone's like, oh, you don't know who she is.

29:56 I'm like no and no. She was cat in Vic.

29:59 I missed all of those Nickelodeon preteen shows.

30:03 I did all the cartoons, all of them.

30:06 I wasn't allowed to watch Ren and Stimpy.

30:08 My mom did not want me watching Ren and Stimpy.

30:11 That was kind of a dirty show when you look back at it.

30:13 My. Parents.

30:14 My mom didn't want me. She didn't want me to watch Ed.

30:16 Ed and Eddie, my mom, I think it was.

30:19 Cartoon Network, my mom didn't. No, I see.

30:22 That was Cartoon Network. I never got interesting.

30:23 Cartoon Network, she never had to.

30:24 Cartoon Network, she's never had to monitor that one.

30:27 My mom didn't monitor a lot of TV actually.

30:30 My my mom, did she like it wasn't even my fault though.

30:35 So the younger brother, the one that's has the nephew here, so

30:38 it was his fault why we got like, literally like.

30:41 Dumb. Do tell.

30:42 So she got, she found something on the Internet or somewhere, I

30:45 don't know where she got it, but it was called ATV allowance

30:48 where you plug the TV into it and then you kind of literally

30:52 lock the plug into it and you plug it into the wall and it

30:57 goes to the TV and everything. And you could have like 4

30:59 different accounts on and you're allotted like an hour of TV time

31:03 in genre. So my sister had one, I had one,

31:06 my two of my brothers had an account on it and we all had

31:09 like an hour each day. Wow, TV time.

31:12 I did not. Oh, I didn't even know that that

31:14 was. No, yeah, it was insane and it

31:17 was because my brother downstairs mother fucker like he

31:20 was you you've seen him. He was he's a gamer, definitely

31:23 a right through a gamer. OK, so like he would be like

31:26 before we got it, he he would wake up at like 3-4 in the

31:29 morning and go downstairs and play like PS2 and it was just

31:34 wild. He was like how he is today

31:37 honestly but just like more more invested back then because he

31:40 was a kid and yada. Yeah, I never, I never did the

31:44 gaming a lot. I did the Pokémon, anything

31:47 Pokémon and Mario. I was.

31:48 There Pokémon was great I. Was just more, I was just more

31:50 into like the Nickelodeon cartoons anyways.

31:52 So yeah, so like, I missed all of the routine shows on

31:56 Nickelodeon because by then I was already into Disney.

31:59 They had a little bit. They had way better preteen.

32:03 Shows. And movies than Nickelodeon did

32:05 Nickelodeon cartoons all the way they they cartoons they lacked

32:11 they tried it. It didn't hit like Nickelodeon

32:14 cartoons. They they were The Pioneers of

32:17 kid cartoons 100% Nickelodeon cartoons were way better and

32:21 Cartoon Network had decent cartoons right?

32:23 How dare you? I just.

32:24 They had decent, I just. Never I never.

32:26 Took. I never took to the Cartoon

32:28 Network one except Scooby's Scooby, Scooby Scooby.

32:30 Cartoon Network Scooby. So since we're on a Cartoon

32:32 Network, before you dismiss on, I'll go through a list of my

32:34 favorite cartoon networks. OK, so Courage the Cowardly Dog.

32:38 Yes, I did forget about him. I do like courage too.

32:40 Yes, Billy and Mandy, Billy and I never.

32:42 Even heard of that. One, it's like the two kids who

32:44 like, see the grim Reaper and everything.

32:49 Yes, I do remember a funny, cute grim Reaper.

32:52 Yeah, that was the, what was the name of it?

32:54 Billy and Mandy. I guess I can kind of remember

32:58 that. And then Foster's home for

33:00 imaginary friends. No, I fool with that one.

33:04 That 1 was great. It was literally like so no

33:07 idea. So when you get old, you know

33:08 how when you're kids you have imaginary friends?

33:10 Like an imaginary figure. No, I was sane.

33:15 Good for you. Well, to the rest of us mentally

33:17 unstable people, we had like an imaginary friend and this show

33:21 kind of like took that. And I was like, OK, so once you

33:23 hit a like a certain age, you kind of like don't remember your

33:26 imaginary friend anymore or you forget they're there.

33:28 So they go and they're in foster care.

33:30 Your imaginary friend goes to foster care.

33:33 What were they heating you as a kid?

33:38 Were they slipping into your bottle?

33:40 I don't know. Jack No, it was probably like

33:43 absinthe. I've never had true absence.

33:47 I've had the American. It's illegal, I know.

33:49 That's why you'd have to go to like London or something to

33:52 actually get it. I need some absence for the

33:55 state of the union that we just had.

33:57 Oh dear God, we'll get that out. So like we still have like we

34:00 still got like 15 minutes before we could get into that.

34:02 Was I'm meeting my political time?

34:04 I mean, you said 10 minutes, 72, I know so.

34:08 But anyways, back to cartoons. So you your turn, Nickelodeon.

34:12 SpongeBob. Yes.

34:13 SpongeBob was a big one. Can I say my favorite episode?

34:16 Fairly Odd Parents. I have to do Fairly Odd.

34:19 Can we talk about Fairly Odd Parents?

34:21 Funny. You know, I might have spent my

34:22 whole life trying to get that theme song down.

34:24 I still can't get it. Really.

34:27 It's the best theme song ever and I still can't get it down.

34:31 I got it unlock. Then do it for us.

34:35 I mean, I need was an advocate does.

34:39 The no one understand I'm not gonna.

34:40 I'm not. Gonna say that no.

34:42 No, the hard part is when is. Just going through the list of

34:45 blue. Chocolate shake early snake, get

34:48 some cake. That part, it gets so hard.

34:50 I could. I'm 35 years old.

34:53 I've been trying to get that theme song done.

34:54 I still can't do it. Funny enough, that's all that

34:57 actually came out in like 2004. Come to find out, they did.

35:01 That OK. So that's actually, it's funny

35:03 you mentioned that specific year, because Rihanna came out

35:05 with Panda Replay around that time.

35:07 She did and I remember seeing Panda Replay.

35:09 I think that was her first. I thought it was Umbrella.

35:12 Was her first Panda Replay was way before that.

35:14 She was like a kid when she didn't 16.

35:17 Yeah, she was young. And I remember seeing 2004 the

35:22 she came, she came out with that song.

35:26 I thought, man, I just really felt like she was came out.

35:29 Hey, earlier than that. She didn't she was mid 2000s

35:32 actually. I mean, she we I thought I was

35:34 thinking same time as Britney, like 1989.

35:37 No, Britney was waiting for Rihanna.

35:39 Yeah, Rihanna came way, actually a little later.

35:42 I mean, but if anything, she did it right.

35:45 Rihanna, like, she came out with a few singles and then she like

35:47 is entrepreneurial like. She had great music though.

35:50 Yeah, exactly. She came out like great #1.

35:51 It was. It was like top charts after hit

35:54 after hit with Rihanna. She didn't have any controversy.

35:58 She really didn't have. I don't remember anything there

36:01 was the only. Controversy she had is with A$AP

36:04 Rocky. Well, because she was like,

36:06 they're dating slash. Together, she didn't.

36:09 She didn't have any. I wouldn't say it's just

36:11 controversy, but she did get hit by Chris Brown and I feel like

36:14 people people still overlooked that he beat the shit out of

36:17 her. He did.

36:18 He really Did. He really.

36:19 Did that and I really feel like everyone overlooked.

36:21 That do you want to know? OK so Speaking of him hitting

36:24 her do you know that's how she came up with what's my name?

36:27 Cuz he hit her so hard she got what her name was really.

36:30 Yeah, that was that was the origin of that song.

36:34 What's my name? Cuz he was fucking that's.

36:38 Awful. But a lot of these songs, they

36:41 have horrific, horrible, horrific origin stories, Yeah.

36:46 Did you, Oh, sorry, going back to cartoons.

36:49 Rugrats that's that's the subject.

36:51 Rugrats absolutely. I had Rugrats everything.

36:54 I had everything. I any game that Rugrats came out

36:58 with, my mom took me to all the movies.

37:00 I mean, I remember she would like call us in that day or we

37:04 have snow day or whatever. We would go to the movies.

37:07 It was a whole day event. We got it was Rugrats were a big

37:10 thing and and why was it that they were the only ones that

37:14 like had the copyright to orange VHS's?

37:17 Why were the rugs they really were?

37:18 Why were the Rugrats orange VHS's always they were the only

37:22 ones. There was no other colored VHS

37:25 white ones. Remember.

37:26 Oh, maybe there would have been a few white ones, but not maybe.

37:29 But the Rugrats specifically had the Nickelodeon orange on them.

37:33 They did. That was actually probably the

37:36 biggest cartoon of Nickelodeon until spongy came.

37:40 Sure, yellow spongy came. It's so sad to well I mean they

37:43 had a few other like fluffers but like I will say Rugrats has

37:47 the saddest origin. Story.

37:49 It does. I think I know what you're

37:50 talking about. I've read, it's all I've read.

37:51 The conspiracy theory all in Angelica's head.

37:53 It's all Angelica's head. It was started.

37:55 It was supposed to be like a suspense thriller movie of a

37:59 child that is making up personalities in her head or

38:02 something like that. So essentially Angelica like so

38:05 Tommy was a stillborn. Yes, in real life I do know what

38:09 I've read all this. Chucky's interesting.

38:11 Like Chucky's dad, they lost his wife in a car accident, which is

38:15 why he's always so friends. And he doesn't have a mom in the

38:18 show because she. Died because of a car accident.

38:21 Yeah. Yeah.

38:21 And then the twins, that mom had a miscarriage, and she never

38:25 found out if it was a boy or a girl.

38:26 So she made, like, up for both. So Phil and Dill.

38:29 And then Susie, who was Susie? Susie was the best friend,

38:33 right? See.

38:34 Yeah, Susie was. I think she was the only like.

38:37 She was the baby, she was the baby's friends, and she was

38:40 Angelica's. Angelica's like arch nemesis.

38:46 No, they were like, they were like good and evil because Susie

38:48 was like the hero for the babies.

38:50 Oh yeah, she would step in and she was like place of reason.

38:52 Which isn't jealous. Yeah, you're right.

38:53 OK. He's like, oh that was a long

38:54 winded way to say she's the voice of reason.

38:57 And then her fucking. I mean, what's her doll's name?

39:01 Susie no, the I'm sorry. Cynthia.

39:04 Cynthia. Cynthia.

39:05 She the doll. Could you guys tell this is

39:08 Cynthia? Like it just looks at this

39:11 Cynthia like Cynthia's. I always make a sinister name.

39:13 The hair always cracked me up. I mean now with it was like all

39:17 these like sectioned off like chunk big chunks of hair, but

39:20 then there was like 1 chunk that was like too wiry little like it

39:24 was so funny. She was weird Barbie.

39:26 Yeah, she was weird. Barbie on crack.

39:28 It was like Barbie on crack. Barbie was a crack whore.

39:32 It was. Cynthia OK, so more cartoons.

39:35 Hey Arnold's another. One.

39:36 Yeah, that one was OK. Wild Thornberries.

39:40 That was a good one, yes. That was great.

39:43 I love the Australian news. That was a good one.

39:47 I actually forgot about that one until you said that one, because

39:49 that one brought adventure as a kid.

39:51 All of a sudden you're in Africa.

39:52 All of a sudden you're floating in the Pacific all of a sudden

39:56 and I forgot, Okay, it's the girl from.

40:00 Mean Girls Lacey Chabert Lacey Chabert is Eliza Thornberry.

40:05 I don't think a lot of people know that, no.

40:06 But she is. Gretchen from Mean Girls.

40:08 Yeah, that's her. That was her the whole time.

40:11 Yeah. I had no idea Tim Curry was

40:13 Nigel. I know Tim Curry was.

40:16 Did he die recently, Tim Curry? Or is he just desperate?

40:19 Like, desperately sick, I think. I forget if he's, like, dead or

40:23 anything. I don't.

40:24 Good question. No, I heard something on him.

40:26 I thought he died. No, he's still.

40:28 I don't know. Let's find out.

40:29 Tim Curry. Tim Curry?

40:31 I mean, I applaud him every day of the week.

40:34 OK, I think it was a stroke. And I'm 79.

40:38 But anyways, yeah, no, The Wild Thornberrys was a good one.

40:40 I actually did forget about that one.

40:42 It's. He's still alive, according to.

40:44 Yeah, he had like a stroke or something and it's not very good

40:48 for him. But I mean, hey, what a legacy.

40:51 But so wait. But what 1 was your favorite

40:53 though again? I don't think I have your.

40:55 Favorite on Nickelodeon You didn't have a Nickelodeon

40:57 cartoon Favorite I. Mean there's so many cuz there's

41:00 also Danny Phantom. Then there was Jimmy Neutron.

41:03 Jimmy Neutron OK, so my hair, if I grow it out long enough, it

41:07 naturally does the Jimmy Neutron.

41:09 Like this dynamic ice cream color soup?

41:13 It does and I did the Jimmy Neutron all throughout like the

41:17 early 20s. You might have to pull up

41:19 pictures and then yes, just to make it even worse, I put the

41:22 blonde streak in it. I know it was so popular in the

41:26 2010. It really was.

41:29 The blonde streak. Either had a blonde streak or

41:31 blonde tips. That blonde tips would have been

41:33 more 90's, the blondes 2000s. I guess it did leak into the

41:38 2000s, but the blonde streak would have been 2010 and then

41:41 all. But that's because of like all

41:43 the girls on Christina Aguilera had a fucking zebra stripes in

41:45 their hair. Yes, 100%.

41:47 That was the definitely the skunk stripes almost it was

41:51 really bad zebra stripes and it was dark, dark black hair with

41:55 blonde, with blonde orange. My mom is cringing right now.

41:59 My mom's hair stylish. She's she's cringing right now.

42:02 She's listening to this, thinking back to the horrible,

42:05 the 2000s. Thank you, Christina Aguilera,

42:07 because she would literally have people sit down in her chair and

42:11 fix their Kardashian black hair. Oh no, and say I want blonde.

42:15 Streaks. They had no idea.

42:17 They had no idea that they she. Charged the charged the shit out

42:19 of them. She should have because she she

42:21 charged so much for that, because it.

42:23 Took at least four different processes, if you even.

42:26 Had any hair left afterwards? Yeah.

42:28 I mean, it was hours on hours. I don't even think she can she

42:32 do it all in one sitting. No, because it would have made

42:35 their. Hair fall out because you dye it

42:37 once and it turns orange. You can't really or bleach it,

42:41 you're actually bleaching. I thought you're allowed to

42:43 bleach it like twice and then you have to like give it a

42:45 break? I remember bleaching my hair

42:47 twice trying to do the blonde streak and the blonde streak

42:50 started falling out after the second one.

42:52 So I would not recommend bleach. I would give it a rest after

42:55 one. End story but hold on I'm giving

42:58 hair advice I know. And if you do have black hair

43:01 and you are a dyeing it blonde be sure to tone it.

43:05 Keep in mind you need a toner. You really do always need a

43:08 toner to pull out that. Biciness and you look like a

43:10 clown. And it's horrible.

43:12 People are like, oh, look at my blonde hair.

43:14 You look like a clown. You could stand up next to a

43:16 trombone and look bald. I mean, that's how ugly some of

43:21 this brassiness turns out. Yeah, really.

43:24 Speaking of falling out, so there's this.

43:26 One day I bleach my hair and I accidentally fell asleep with

43:29 the bleach on. Ouch.

43:32 Yeah, that's that's beyond hair falling out.

43:34 That's like, no? 3rd degree chemical.

43:37 No it literally so I felt like the craft oh like just it just

43:41 kept falling out in chunks like there was no coming back.

43:43 There was no saving it. So I just pulled Brittany.

43:45 I know I I've kind of had a similar incident trying to

43:48 bleach my hair. You have to be careful you do.

43:51 Factor shows nasty classified school survival guide.

43:54 Nope, no idea, never watched that one.

43:56 It was great. Was that a that was?

43:57 That was a live action. That was live action.

43:59 So it was basically like it was, I don't know how to describe it.

44:02 It was literally like a kid going through middle school

44:04 giving advice like how to survive school.

44:06 Yeah, I got, I got nothing on that one.

44:07 I just watched. It that was good.

44:08 It was one of my favorites. Then Drake and Josh Zoe, 101.

44:11 No, no, not still no. These are all the preteen

44:14 Nickelodeon shows. I was watching Disney.

44:17 I, you know, and, and I have to really, I really do feel bad

44:21 about the whole Shia LaBeouf thing that he is kind of going

44:23 through the, the Britney 2007 phase of his life right now,

44:27 because that actually was my favorite show.

44:29 Christy Carlson Romano and Steven Steven, yes, even Steven

44:32 was easily my favorite Disney show back then.

44:35 Was it? It really was.

44:37 And I that's another show I've watched as I've gotten older and

44:39 it doesn't. It doesn't hold.

44:40 On it doesn't hit the same. It's just so too juvenile.

44:43 It's too corny. Very corny for kids, but it was

44:46 so funny back then. That was actually the show that

44:48 got me into wanting to watch Disney.

44:51 Yeah, that Channel. Yeah, I started watching, even

44:54 see this. I was like, Oh my gosh, Disney's

44:55 so much better. And then that's so Raven came

44:57 out with. I mean that's so Raven.

44:59 Was it popped? She watched.

45:00 That's where I can pop she. Owned.

45:03 Disney Channel suite life is like in Cody love suite life's

45:06 suite life is like in Cody was a good one.

45:08 Let's see what else is there. I'm sorry I only did like my

45:10 research on Nickelodeon cartoon number not necessarily Disney.

45:14 I will say Phineas and Ferb and it was a later like later 2000s

45:19 but they held up. I will say also Kim Possible

45:22 with my jam. I gave Kim Possible a try

45:25 because it is Christy Carlson Romano that was in that.

45:28 Show my text tone is the communicator beep beep beep beep

45:31 beep beep. And I always wanted a nick and

45:33 mole rat. I always want our hairless

45:36 hamster. I mean, you can you?

45:37 It's one good one. Never.

45:38 Mind never say anything. I mean, you kind of are, you

45:42 kind of are Nick and Mole because you're hairless.

45:45 I am a naked mole rat. Kind of because you're a

45:47 hairless twink. What?

45:51 But that's what is What is that? That what would be the gay term

45:57 for that hairless twink is just a twink.

45:59 Yeah, I mean, and I guess you know what, a naked mole rat.

46:01 I don't really like that comparison.

46:03 Can we think of something better please?

46:06 No, I mean we have mine, which is a fucking coyote Mangy Wolf.

46:12 I'm. Beyond words I this was not in

46:14 the itinerary today it. Wasn't it was non they're.

46:18 Ourselves to animals. No, it was not.

46:20 They actually had, I forgot who it was.

46:21 It was Justin something. And like Katya Jamalochikova,

46:25 they were going over the zoo. Like the zoo wildlife in

46:29 comparison to the gay. The gay There's a whole spectrum

46:32 I know there. Is there's meerkats?

46:35 There's drafts Giraffes, the giraffe one.

46:38 There's the. Tall guys with long necks.

46:41 There's wolves. Yeah.

46:43 Yeah, like a silver kind of wolf.

46:45 Daddy. Yeah.

46:46 Bears, Cubs, otters, all that fun jazz.

46:48 I guess we're just twunks. We don't really get like an

46:51 animal. Do we, I mean what did Punk be

46:54 viewers or? Caddies.

46:55 Help us out and. Punk's gonna be caddies.

46:58 I mean like now or. Felines though, I mean, I'm cool

47:01 with being a cat, honestly, because I'm I don't know how

47:03 many lives. Can you use the litter box?

47:05 No, because I have so many lives.

47:06 Like I should be dead by mail honestly.

47:09 I I feel that actually I should be done.

47:11 Like how am I still here? Exactly, I should be dead.

47:14 Like after 2 motorcycle accidents I should be dead.

47:17 Well, we all should have been dead after the State of the

47:19 Union because I think we're running into that time.

47:22 We need to talk about this horrible high octane award show

47:28 known as our State of the Union. All right, go for it, I mean.

47:32 This was ridiculous. Do you know that, Miss?

47:35 Sorry, I know this was last week, but Miss Pam Bondi might

47:37 be going to prison. Well, yeah, she should.

47:41 That reminds me, I had been hearing a lot lately.

47:45 Nixon did not go to prison. No, he did not his.

47:49 Attorney General, did I know she lied?

47:52 Underoath. She's a joke, but we're not here

47:54 to talk. About no, we did that last week.

47:55 We already gave Pam Bondi. Yeah, we need to talk about the

47:59 state of the evening to end the show.

48:01 Go for it. I really want to get the.

48:02 Well it was just like I said, it was a high octane award so it

48:05 was just all theatrics. I haven't seen such bad

48:08 theatrics since a late night infomercial tried to sell me a

48:10 self cleaning toaster. I'm sorry, a self cleaning

48:13 toaster. I didn't have to start to laugh.

48:18 So late, so late. That's funny.

48:20 I. Thought of that all of.

48:22 Me, you did. So there was no actual, so there

48:24 was no infomercial about a self cleaning toaster.

48:28 Maybe we can just study. No, I've got to keep it now.

48:32 Anyways, so I haven't seen such bad theatrics.

48:37 However, what we did see was a bunch of empty seats.

48:40 A lot of Congress people did not show up for this.

48:42 And I have mixed feelings on. I know exactly.

48:46 I have mixed feelings on that, actually.

48:47 I mean, that's fair. I understand.

48:50 OK, This is my Gemini nature of two people in my brain fighting

48:54 back and forth. I it's very hard for me to

48:56 decide on anything because I can see the both sides of every art.

48:59 Of the night. See, do you know what's crazy?

49:00 Because I'm a Sagittarius and I still have a very difficult time

49:03 making decisions because I would just keep going back and forth

49:06 between all the options. That's But see, with Gemini's,

49:10 we really do kind of have two people in our head going back

49:13 and forth all the time. If you only have two.

49:15 It's very hard. If you only have two then I have

49:17 like 50. I don't think that's a strategy.

49:20 No, it's not. It's multiple personality.

49:22 To hold on. I mean, it's it helps if you

49:25 name him. It helps if you name.

49:26 Him, you and Trump maybe. You think I'll see the same cop

49:28 server? No, no.

49:30 Hey, he'd have the best of the best, at least.

49:33 You know, then they would all die out of conspiracy for

49:35 suicide or something. I don't know.

49:37 But no, I'm cool. Anyways, getting back to this

49:40 awful State of the Union. I mean, this was just

49:42 celebrating violence, racism, and just a bunch of untrue

49:45 facts. And everyone on the news is

49:47 saying like, why isn't he fact checked?

49:49 Why isn't he fact checked? How do you Fact Check this when

49:51 it is literally every single sentence?

49:55 There is no fact checking. You just have to know that he's.

49:58 It's all a lie. Nothing's true.

50:00 I mean, at this point, I don't, I mean, I don't trust anything

50:03 that comes out of Bondi. I don't trust anything out of

50:04 none of them. I've never trusted Trump's first

50:08 session in office like I didn't. I've never trusted him in all

50:11 honesty. Now, granted, there's some

50:14 things that he did say in the First Presidency where I was

50:16 like, OK, let's hear him out. But everything since then it's

50:20 been no, I don't, I don't feature it.

50:22 I don't entertain it. I'm sorry man.

50:26 Apparently this is the golden time for America.

50:28 Didn't you know? This is the this is the best

50:30 time to be an American. I want to know how.

50:33 I want to know what is what is making this the golden era?

50:36 What? How is he putting American first

50:38 like he like he claims, by shooting them in the streets?

50:42 For this. For them to be doing, practicing

50:46 their First Amendment right to protest, actually they're

50:49 cutting their health, cutting their healthcare.

50:51 They're trying to filter out the 1st Amendment.

50:53 They're trying to literally monitor everyone's freedom of

50:56 speech on social media. It's just clear fascism,

50:59 obviously. I mean, it was just all

51:00 bullshit. You can't trust anything the

51:02 guys saying, but just, you know, you know, like shooting people,

51:06 cutting health care, making us pay for their for their taxes or

51:09 tariffs, not taxes, tariffs. Like where is the golden age,

51:13 $1000 more a month Families have spent the sorry, $1000 more a

51:18 year. Last year we spent because of

51:20 these tariffs. Yeah.

51:22 And now there's like $200 million, $1,000,000 out there.

51:26 What do you do with it now? These tariffs were absolutely

51:29 necessary, taken out of play. Well, they were taken out of

51:32 play by the Supreme Court recently.

51:34 But you know who is getting richer, though?

51:37 You know, this is the golden time for billionaires.

51:40 And Trump is actually about $4 billion richer from all of us.

51:43 I'm not surprised I'm making deal after deal with shitty

51:47 people and 60% of Americans are just completely disapproved with

51:51 any of those inflation, tariffs, economy, immigration,

51:55 everything. But they voted for him.

51:57 I know and I, I at this point you just have to look in the

52:01 mirror and say you got duped. And, and if and if you aren't

52:05 saying that at this point, we know it.

52:07 You don't have to say it. We, we just, we know it.

52:11 I mean, unless they're wearing like unless you are a multi

52:13 $1,000,000 with a Maggie hat, it's you're not benefiting from

52:16 anything that that Trump one administration has been doing.

52:19 One in four Americans can barely afford their utility bills.

52:21 And I live by myself. Yes, you do.

52:25 I have you know, I don't have roommates.

52:27 I have two lazy little cats that just kind of lay around and

52:33 drive me nuts some days. Like I my utility bill is

52:37 outrageous. Like I don't understand how a

52:40 family of four. How much is your water bill?

52:42 My water bill is nothing. My water bill is absolutely not.

52:45 And the power? The power is what is what's up

52:48 there, and I know I do have an electric car too.

52:51 So that would have like added like that.

52:52 I thought that would have doubled your electricity.

52:54 It doesn't. It doesn't double because I work

52:56 from home so I don't have to drive as much.

52:58 Still pay 200 bucks a month for electricity.

53:02 And I haven't really, it's been actually rather nice here in

53:05 Nashville. So I haven't really had to turn

53:06 on any heat or air conditioning or anything.

53:09 I still pay like 200. So OK, if I'm one person paying

53:13 two, OK, so the, the car probably adds an extra 30-40

53:16 bucks a month with the how much I drive.

53:18 So let's say 160, sure, hey, that's 160 per person, a family

53:23 of three and four. I mean, like, I don't know how

53:25 these people are are affording their groceries or utility

53:28 bills. And they're not.

53:29 That's the. Problem.

53:30 That's. Yeah, one in four people can

53:32 barely afford it, 25% of the of the country can barely afford

53:36 it, and they don't even know how well the other 75% we're doing.

53:41 Oh, probably. They're the ones that are

53:43 homeless. They're the ones that are in the

53:44 streets. Unfortunately, sadly, they're

53:45 the ones in foster care. They're the ones getting eaten

53:47 by Eckstein. We all know where they're at.

53:50 The bulk of this speech was just all domestic policy when it came

53:54 to prices. It's just here's what I've done

53:55 and that nothing. What I was going to do, just

53:58 nothing. It was just here.

54:00 Absolutely theatrics. I did like the Democratic

54:03 response though. They finally, finally, finally

54:07 took one out of Trump's books because at the last election,

54:11 Trump pretty much went around and just campaigned, you know,

54:14 off of economy, affordability, whatever, which he's done

54:17 nothing to help. But he duped the people by

54:21 asking what have Democrats done for you?

54:23 Are you better off than you were four years ago?

54:26 And everything. He just these questions really

54:27 getting into their heads about what?

54:29 How are you feeling? Personalizing it a little bit.

54:32 You know which what? They need to.

54:33 OK, well Trump did that last time and it worked.

54:36 And finally, finally, the Democrats are asking the same

54:39 thing in the Democratic response.

54:41 They you just have to fight fire with it at this point with fire.

54:45 I mean, OK, yeah, sure, fire with fire, I get it.

54:48 But I. You have to go.

54:50 We have to go low. We just, I mean, if they're

54:52 gonna go, if they're gonna go low, we have to go to hell and

54:54 like attack that way. No, that's what I'm saying.

54:56 Like I'm sorry, Michelle Obama. Like we go you, they, we go

55:01 high, they go low. He he ha ha.

55:02 No, we need to go so low that we scrape the top flames of hell.

55:07 Why only the top? We're only the top of the.

55:09 Well, I don't want to go to hell.

55:10 We're gay. Just almost there.

55:12 We're gay. We're gonna go.

55:15 Only if you believe him. We're gonna go anyway.

55:19 I mean all the party people go to hell.

55:20 I don't want to go to heaven where all the sober like like

55:23 Bible beaters are that's. No, hell sounds way more fun.

55:26 I totally agree. Actually I think Satan could be.

55:28 I think he's he could be kind. Of hot, supposedly.

55:31 I bet he's daddy. If he's Super Daddy, if he's

55:33 anything like Tom Ellis's on the show, Lucifer, I'm for it.

55:37 Yeah, I'm for it. Not far off.

55:39 I'm for it, not far off. But also like I just supposedly

55:42 there's been like theories and like that he might be more of

55:44 like Androgy kind of. I really need to go back and

55:48 watch that show too. I have seen Lucifer.

55:51 He's so. Hot.

55:52 I love it. I will say someone.

55:53 Told me he I looked like him one time and I was like oh thank.

56:00 You. Were they on Just go with it?

56:02 OK, just go I'm. Curious what kind of drugs they

56:04 were on, but anyway, that's some.

56:06 Damn good ones. But yeah, it was a really good

56:12 show that kind of like actually replaced my CSI obsession when

56:15 it ended, which. One are you talking about?

56:19 Lucifer. Yeah.

56:20 Replaced my CSI obsession like the OG CSI like crime scene

56:24 investigation. The one was based in Vegas.

56:26 When that ended, that one kind of like took place for it.

56:31 Who is who was that guy? What was his name?

56:33 Tom Ellis. Tom Ellis?

56:35 Yes, that you did mention that. I kept thinking you said you

56:38 were saying I think. Oh yes, thought you were.

56:40 I thought you were when you said Tom Ellis.

56:42 I was picturing Tom Holland. 2 Completely different people 1's.

56:45 Daddy One's child. Yes 2 completely Oh damn, he is

56:50 oh Tom Ellis, please come back to TV.

56:52 Tom Ellis, if he's listening, I'm.

56:53 Pretty sure he is. He's on something.

56:55 He's on. What is he on?

56:56 I don't know. Where it now?

56:57 Oh, tell me lies. Yeah.

57:01 He's supposedly, I don't know, I would need to look at his

57:03 wikiHow, but like he's like 63. Just the like I'm like almost

57:07 50. Just the most perfect human

57:09 being. Like almost 50 he's.

57:11 Got some grey scruff now coming in like.

57:13 The audacity of looking that good.

57:15 So what would he be under the the game spectrum of?

57:19 Animals. I feel like he'd be right now.

57:21 He's going to like salt and pepper Fox.

57:23 No, he'd be a wolf. He'd be he's going into a wolf.

57:25 He's he's a wolf. He's going into Wolf.

57:27 He is a wolf. He can eat any day.

57:29 Anyways, sorry, that was well, that was that was, that was my

57:35 political update. I always like around at least a

57:37 little bit of a political update.

57:39 I like to let the people know what's going on.

57:41 We love that now. So I think I did 2 truths and

57:45 all it. Is definitely my turn.

57:46 So it's your turn. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,

57:48 wait. I'm so glad we got the

57:53 soundboard to work. Once we can listen back to it,

57:55 it's not even there. Listeners, I'm sorry if the

57:58 soundboard doesn't work then we're still working on that,

58:00 but. But it should be there.

58:01 We're getting. We're getting there.

58:02 We tested it. We tested it.

58:04 It should be there. So for my 2 truths and a lie I

58:08 am, I'm going to stick to sitcoms specifically on Sure

58:13 Ready. Yeah, yeah.

58:15 No, I'm not. I'm.

58:18 I'm up here a little busy. I'm updating my Facebook.

58:20 There's something going on my Facebook right now.

58:22 Walk upstairs, Facebook says. I haven't heard that phrase in

58:25 forever. That's.

58:26 Exactly my point. Go start with your two truths.

58:29 I can't stand the Nanny because of Fran Drescher's voice.

58:34 Real. Quick, how dare you.

58:35 But OK, proceed. So I can't stand the Nanny

58:38 because of Fran Drescher. 'S voice.

58:39 I really hope that's the lie. My mom would not let me watch

58:43 Married with Children. Yeah, OK.

58:46 My favorite sitcom of all time is Golden Girls.

58:49 So I think Golden Girls is the truth.

58:54 I also think that your mom not letting you watch that one show

58:58 is the truth. I really hope The Nanny 1 is a

59:00 lie because I don't know if I would be able to continue this

59:02 podcast with you if that is not if that's like, if that's the

59:06 truth. I Miami, it's way too easy for

59:09 you. Oh, was I accurate?

59:11 And actually, he's very accurate.

59:13 I love the nanny and I could care less about her actually.

59:16 I really don't understand why people hate Fran Jester's voice

59:19 so much. If you left off that second

59:21 part, if you just said I don't like the nanny, it probably

59:23 would have been a lot more believable.

59:25 But because you're under the voice, I was like, there's no

59:26 way. There's no way.

59:27 There's a lot of people that hate her voice.

59:30 Oh, I know. And they will not watch that

59:32 show. I I it is one of the funny.

59:34 It's supposed to be kind of a remake.

59:36 I Love Lucy in a way too. Yeah, cuz they actually recreate

59:39 some of those scenes. He's the successful businessman

59:43 kind of and she's like crazy screw up wife that just

59:48 eventually, eventually. So I know I love the nanny.

59:53 I actually still watch it sometimes.

59:56 Did you? Me too reruns I really did late

59:58 night. And I don't think people knew

1:00:00 that Golden Girls and the Nanny kind of go hand in hand because

1:00:03 growing up it was always on lifetime.

1:00:05 You remember that Channel that was just for women.

1:00:08 That was literally how can we like scare the shit out of women

1:00:11 So they have so their mom. My God, it was a whole channel

1:00:15 about. Four women about how to kill

1:00:17 women anyways. I'll never understand that part

1:00:20 I. Know it was like 4 women talking

1:00:21 about how they're gonna kill all their husbands or it.

1:00:23 Was accidentally there was so much on lifetime, but it was all

1:00:26 like death and destruction and just I just anyways, that was

1:00:30 the funniest thing about that show.

1:00:31 But Golden Girls would always come on and then Nanny was

1:00:34 always on after. So like those two like kind of

1:00:36 go hand in hand just back then when, you know, everyone

1:00:38 actually watched on cable TV and satellite TV and whatnot.

1:00:41 But no, I definitely, but and then my mom wouldn't, she did

1:00:46 not like I said, she didn't censor us really from a whole

1:00:49 lot there. It was pretty much just married

1:00:52 with children. She did not like the dynamics

1:00:56 between Al and Peg and he treated her.

1:00:59 He treated her like shit. And you blame.

1:01:01 Her. He was an awful chauvinistic

1:01:03 male pig husband. There was this one, so it's love

1:01:07 on the spectrum. Hi.

1:01:08 And there was this one episode. I forgot who it was.

1:01:11 It was like it was James. He's talking to his parents and

1:01:14 the dad goes like happy wife, happy life.

1:01:17 And he's like, well actually happy spouse, happy house.

1:01:20 And I was like, you go, James. I like that so much more.

1:01:24 Yes, I've never, I've never heard that one.

1:01:25 That one is a good one. So I was like applauding him.

1:01:29 Yeah. So no, Married to the Children

1:01:31 was like the actual one show that she really deserves.

1:01:35 She's really put her foot down on that one.

1:01:37 And yeah, like watching it as an adult, like it's no dirtier, you

1:01:41 know, than any other sitcom on, like, innuendos, little sex

1:01:44 talk, whatever, sex jokes, whatever.

1:01:47 But no, there was none of that. It was none of that with my mom.

1:01:50 It was just. It was the fact that he was a.

1:01:52 He was a he was a belligerent, chauvinistic prick to his wife

1:01:57 and she just did not want her boys.

1:01:59 With that influence, yeah, I mean good, good reason.

1:02:02 No, she that was the only show. Whenever she heard the log I

1:02:06 hear footsteps coming down the stairs and she turned it off

1:02:10 every time. It never failed.

1:02:12 I will say though, that their opening theme song was actually

1:02:15 kind of camp iconic. It is.

1:02:18 It was camp. I liked it.

1:02:19 I like it so much. Yeah, camp like was campy.

1:02:22 I don't. I've never heard that term.

1:02:24 Please scold me. Don't let.

1:02:26 You never heard of camp? No, I'm, it was, it was a theme.

1:02:29 I'm older than you, but as you like to point out, you know all

1:02:31 the time. It was literally like camp was a

1:02:34 theme to a Met Gala one time. So where's our circuit?

1:02:39 Where's the cricket? We don't have crickets.

1:02:42 I want crickets. I want, remember I said I wanted

1:02:44 crickets. We don't have bump, bump, bump.

1:02:46 I mean, we have gunshots. We have gunshots and fucking

1:02:50 like Ding. Killing each other.

1:02:52 I mean, with these jokes, just kidding, no, but like camp is

1:02:56 literally. So basically the description of

1:02:58 camp is like pick an object and then times 10.

1:03:00 So if you like are thinking of like this is so.

1:03:02 New to you, I've never heard this one.

1:03:04 Are you sure you didn't? Just like no dead ass.

1:03:06 I'm being dead ass. I'm just now starting to pick

1:03:09 out a pick up and this is a culture too that I'm just now

1:03:13 starting to pick up that younger kids say that time.

1:03:17 We need to save this for next episode.

1:03:19 Just a whole band. I have a whole that.

1:03:20 I started saying it back and I feel like that old guy trying to

1:03:25 be young, cool and hip. I have an entire I.

1:03:29 Have. I have, I have to vent.

1:03:31 I have an entire spiel on like the lingo these days, like I'm

1:03:35 so sorry. We're going to do a next episode

1:03:36 because I could just keep going. And I think we are.

1:03:39 We're coming up on our end here. Yes, we are so.

1:03:41 But anyways, camp one second. I'm making sure I'm reading the

1:03:44 right description. See, if we were in the Midwest,

1:03:46 it would be camp. You got to have that Chicago

1:03:49 accent too. Then we go camping.

1:03:52 We don't go camping. We go camping.

1:03:56 You got it there. Did you get pulled?

1:03:58 I need I need an explanation and you can't just throw that out

1:04:01 there without any facts. So basically, no, shut up.

1:04:04 I didn't. I wasn't prepared for those.

1:04:05 Sacks. Damn it, I wasn't prepared.

1:04:07 For this, so basically camp is a, you take something that's

1:04:11 like, we'll say like a glove. I'm using an example from the

1:04:14 Mcgalla. So you know how like satin

1:04:16 gloves Royer used way back when there was this one drag queen,

1:04:20 her name's Violet Chosky. Hi Violet.

1:04:22 She literally the dress that she wore to the Mcgalla was a

1:04:24 ginormous glove and the train was the fingers.

1:04:28 So it's like taking something and exaggerating it by like 10

1:04:32 and it's camp. So how a lot of these gay guys

1:04:36 for Halloween did try to be the brawny guy from the paper towels

1:04:40 and the lace wear asshole visible cut off shorts with one

1:04:44 piece of tartan and I'm the brawny guy.

1:04:47 That's camp. I'm even more confused than

1:04:51 English. It reminds me also of the term

1:04:53 yeet that like the young kid Gen.

1:04:56 Z says to yeet no. I have a shirt that a friend

1:05:00 gave to me. He's like he's like 2021 from

1:05:03 college last year. Miles hi Miles.

1:05:06 He actually, the shirt says eat, sleep, yeet, repeat and I still

1:05:12 don't know what yeet. Means it sounds like it's

1:05:14 supposed to be a yeast infection.

1:05:15 It or it sounds like ski and we all know what that means.

1:05:19 That's where we should end and. On that.

1:05:22 Though we're done, we're done. Bye everyone, have a goodbye.

1:05:26 Everyone to see you next week, I hope you all had a great

1:05:29 weekend. Oh my God.

1:05:31 All right, bye. I'm over.

1:05:33 There, yeast, you said yeast. I mean I did yeast infection.

1:05:37 So stupid.
