Cannibal the Musical, David the Gnome & Diff'rent Strokes Theme Songs | Ep 25

We bounce from basement banter to dark books, cult musicals, and classic TV theme songs, then pull it all together with a mashup performance. We argue about what makes parody work, why nostalgia hits so hard, and how over-explaining becomes both a flaw and a feature.
• debut of a new theme song and the rules of “kissing a recently passed loved one”
• the show format as simulated waiting-in-line small talk plus a concert ending
• moving Corrections Corner to Instagram to keep the main feed tighter
• comments corner, shout-outs, and a birthday song for Uncle Dan
• why Rob over-explains everything, including the Andre the Giant “weighed a ton” origin story
• Kindle Unlimited realities, bad editing, and a rare romance recommendation that is actually well done
• Carrion Comfort by Dan Simmons, brutal content, villain craft, and “how does an author live in that headspace”
• Cannibal! The Musical background, influences, best jokes, and a full plot walk-through
• why classic TV theme songs used to tell the whole story
• David The Gnome origins, lyric differences, and an unexpectedly devastating series finale
• Different Strokes premise, Alan Thicke songwriting credits, cover picks, and soundtrack talk

Um this this week we'll be we'll be seeing Alan Thick perform with uh Javier something. I wrote it down. I'll write it. No, but when he dies, he can come. Is Alan Thick dead? He is. Oh he died, I think, in maybe 2016.

SPEAKER_02 4:40

I don't think Robin can come. He's too um too controversial.

SPEAKER_06 4:45

Is he?

SPEAKER_02 4:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 4:46

SPEAKER_05 5:15

Promises, promises.

SPEAKER_02 5:17

So anyway, yeah, not just Alan Thick, though.

SPEAKER_06 5:21

Um not just Alan Thick?

SPEAKER_02 5:23

He doesn't sing David the No.

SPEAKER_06 5:25

No, no, no. That's why I said Javier or something, and you said Javier Pardon, and I said no. I thought I don't remember the connection.

SPEAKER_02 5:32

I thought he helped Alan Thick write different strokes.

SPEAKER_06 5:37

You thought Javier? Oh, I see. No, that was Al Al Burton, I believe. And then Lori Alan Thick's wife saying on this. Lori Laughlin. Lori Laughlin, yeah. Actually, this Lori was in uh not quite Lori Laughlin status, but she's hot. She's alright. I think she was I want to say she was maybe like Miss America at some point, something like that. Some pageant lady. Yeah. You know uh Alan Thick did a lot of work with uh Crystal Light, I think.

SPEAKER_02 6:05

Didn't he like go out into a isn't he in like a body of water for a Crystal Light commercial?

SPEAKER_06 6:11

Oh, was he?

SPEAKER_02 6:12

I think so.

SPEAKER_06 6:13

Um we'll have to find out.

SPEAKER_02 6:16

I don't recall that.

SPEAKER_06 6:17

What I was referring to was the uh was the National Aerobics Championship that Crystal Light used to put on, and he was like the MC for it.

SPEAKER_02 6:24

Oh I'm going straight off from the brain there's a commercial with Alan Thick in the water.

SPEAKER_06 6:29

Oh, you might be thinking of uh Cinco's Naple?

SPEAKER_02 6:33

What?

SPEAKER_06 6:34

Cinco uh Cinco Toys or and from Tim and Eric's also sure.

SPEAKER_02 6:40

Was he in a Tim and Eric commercial?

SPEAKER_06 6:42

Yeah, he he was uh he was selling Was he in a body of water? No. But he was selling the Naple.

SPEAKER_02 6:48

Ah.

SPEAKER_06 6:48

Which is c it was an apple cover, and it's it's meant so you could just take 15 minute naps immediately and wake up immediately.

SPEAKER_02 6:56

Eat the apple?

SPEAKER_06 6:56

Yeah, because it's covered in a sleep gel.

SPEAKER_02 6:59

I don't remember that.

SPEAKER_06 7:02

They've inserted like a uh a wake up something that makes gives you stomach distress, makes you want to have diarrhea.

SPEAKER_02 7:08

So you wake up.

SPEAKER_06 7:08

So you wake up, so you fall so he falls asleep and he wakes up with has to have diarrhea, and he drags himself off and he's making like Tim and Eric squishy noises and stuff. Yeah. It's also kind of uh brings in uh it's kind of a cross promotion with D-Pants as well. Yeah. They recommended.

SPEAKER_02 7:26

So you could sleep in your D-pants when you eat that nap.

SPEAKER_06 7:29

Exactly. Exactly.

SPEAKER_02 7:30

I'm glad we were able to bring that up. So yeah, so so stay tuned if you like TV theme songs. There aren't a lot these days that have words. I mean, are there any TV theme songs from today's world that have words?

SPEAKER_06 7:44

There aren't many. I mean, you kind of put me on the spot there. I'm sure there are, of course, but I'm not sure there are. I miss the days when I was gonna bring this up later, but but where you have like the full synopsis, like the full expose of everything you need to know going into the show happens in the theme. Like I was watching Perfect Strangers because we were oh yeah, we talked about that. By the way, I said I would sing it. It's Stand in Tall on the Wings of my dreams.

SPEAKER_05 8:13

Wow, I don't remember.

SPEAKER_06 8:13

And I think it was a harmonica. I listen, I said I wanted to look at the uh opening instrument. It's like a harmonica or something from from perfect version of one. Yeah. But they have like in when you watch the intro, like it's like Larry leaving his job and Balkie leaving his country, and they're like, you could see you know they're meeting in in the city, and it explains the words explain like what they're going after. Different strokes do the same thing.

SPEAKER_02 8:40

Yeah, or like in Full House when they're like going a picnic and they ride around San Francisco in a convertible, and like there's like little sister antics, little sister antics and Michelle on the back.

SPEAKER_06 8:51

Yeah, kind of bopping. Yeah, depending it depends on the on the intros. But anyways, yeah, we don't have that anymore. It's a freaking shame. It's a lost art.

SPEAKER_02 8:59

You're bleeding.

SPEAKER_06 9:00

Travesty. Am I?

SPEAKER_02 9:01

What happened to you? Ladybugs?

SPEAKER_06 9:02

Ladybugs?

SPEAKER_02 9:03

Man, ladybugs. Dude. They deserve their own corner.

SPEAKER_06 9:07

We have thousands of ladybugs in our house.

SPEAKER_02 9:09

We do. Uh they deserve a corner of death.

SPEAKER_06 9:11

Yeah, they do. The worst, the corner of the the worst kind of gnome.

SPEAKER_02 9:16

Yes, gnome eradication.

SPEAKER_06 9:19

I don't think gnome. I don't know if gnomes have a hell. We'll talk about the gnomes. When we get there. Hey, um, but so as you can see, the show features a little bit of small talk. Uh we used to have, I say used to, up until, well, we'll see how.

SPEAKER_02 9:34

Five days ago.

SPEAKER_06 9:36

About 40. I I I clocked it. We had about 37 minutes of corrections corner.

SPEAKER_02 9:42

Where I talk about that was before we even got to consumption corner.

SPEAKER_06 9:45

It was about they kind of bleed in a little bit. But basically 37 minutes of meta information on the previous episode.

SPEAKER_04 9:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 9:52

Uh that was what the last one clocked at, and I think it's been getting progressively more. This was becoming a show about corrections corner.

SPEAKER_02 10:00

Yeah, just it was like we would have half a show would be stuff that we said wrong, so that the next show could be halfway about the fixing all that stuff.

SPEAKER_06 10:07

Mm-hmm. And then I would just completely let Leslie comes in strong. That's her. Leslie is she's my wife. I'm Rob. Rob Shoecraft.

SPEAKER_02 10:15

We already introduced ourselves.

SPEAKER_06 10:16

We're married. Um, and she she she would just get completely fried, and then uh it just kind of I came on strong with being fried. No, you you by the end of the show, by the time we talk about the song, which is kind of like almost the the crown jewel.

SPEAKER_01 10:32

Of course.

SPEAKER_06 10:32

Well, it's not the main topic, that's the crown jewel, but this is like an earring, like a really nice crown earring. Yeah. It's a crown earring. This is like a Mr. T earring. It's like one.

SPEAKER_02 10:45

Do you does Mr. P P Mr. T pity the fool?

SPEAKER_06 10:49

He does. Okay. Yeah. Mr. P does too.

SPEAKER_02 10:52

He titties the fool, sorry.

SPEAKER_06 10:54

Easy there. It's a family show, by the way. We very rarely say pity or words of rhyme with it.

SPEAKER_02 11:00

Sorry with T. Mr. T's.

SPEAKER_06 11:03

Okay, so uh anyway.

SPEAKER_02 11:06

I have nothing to do with why it's 40 minutes long.

SPEAKER_06 11:08

I think I was making a making a point.

SPEAKER_02 11:10

You said I got fried.

SPEAKER_06 11:11

Yeah. But uh we we want to keep we want to keep this fresh. We want to keep it going. And yeah, now Dennis, our friend, who's listening.

SPEAKER_02 11:18

Yeah, Big Den.

SPEAKER_06 11:18

SPEAKER_06 11:51

He listened to six hours worth of corrections corner. So he loved it. Don't let anything happen to him.

SPEAKER_02 11:56

Don't change a thing.

SPEAKER_06 11:58

He did say make it at least an hour. He's like, if you're gonna cut it, cut it at least.

SPEAKER_02 12:02

I'm fine with that. We were sweeping up on two hours. Yeah, we were.

SPEAKER_06 12:05

We pretty much hit two hours. Yeah. So make it at least an hour because he liked when he he he doesn't want to start a podcast. I'm with I understand. Yeah. I feel the same way. I'm listening to a three and a half hour podcast on open clawed right now. But we won't talk about it. It's AI stuff.

SPEAKER_02 12:23

SPEAKER_06 13:06

So yeah, we're gonna put the we're gonna put the the corrections corner on Instagram so you can read it if you don't want to listen to it all. And then so, anyways, Dennis said the one one point he said he he said when we talk about songs, yeah. I saw that to try to try to give the lyrics or a melody or something so the listener at home isn't freaking out trying to think of what the song is. That was a good tip. So maybe like three seconds worth just so we don't get sued by Mr.

SPEAKER_02 13:36

Bosley.

SPEAKER_06 13:37

And uh I answered it, and I won't get into the details, enough because it's sensitive or anything, because it'll just take forever. It'll be a whole new topic. Um and you know what he did? You know what Stony did? What? Stoney followed the trail. But not only did I think he take take my advice, and hopefully his joint pain is is is is mentally.

SPEAKER_02 15:02

Did he quit eating a gallon of yogurt?

SPEAKER_06 15:04

No, it was more on like volume of polyometric training. But he uh he followed the the link I left in the pinned comment on that video to this channel and he checked it out, and you know what he said?

SPEAKER_02 15:43

I have no because we talked about um X-Files last time.

SPEAKER_06 15:47

SPEAKER_06 16:09

I don't think so. Shoot. Um, do you want me to do do you want me to do it to David the gnome?

SPEAKER_06 16:23

Hmm.

SPEAKER_05 16:28

Okay, here we go. Happy birthday to my little Danny boy. He's my special friend. He's only six inches tall.

Dr.

SPEAKER_02 17:00

D. Dr. Baby David. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 17:02

You're older than baby David. And you could boo. Party by yourself.

SPEAKER_00 17:12

Yes, you can't.

SPEAKER_05 17:14

My favorite quality.

SPEAKER_00 17:17

That's good.

SPEAKER_02 17:17

Happy birthday, Dansey. He's a little dandy.

SPEAKER_06 17:20

It's a birthday song.

SPEAKER_02 17:21

He does.

SPEAKER_06 17:22

Um Uncle Dan is one of our one of our biggest fans. I should sing happy birthday to my to our mom. Oh yeah. My mom. Not your mom. We don't have the same thing. She needs to watch, she needs to watch more of it.

SPEAKER_02 17:32

And we have different moms.

SPEAKER_06 17:33

Yeah. And we that's true.

Why Rob Overexplains Everything

SPEAKER_02 17:35

Speaking of, I I do I feel like there's a little a little lore that we could share about why you're so compelled to to literally over-explain every single thing that's ever popped into your head.

SPEAKER_06 17:50

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 17:51

Okay. So you tell us.

SPEAKER_06 17:53

Oh, what is it?

SPEAKER_02 17:54

Well, it it has it revolves around Andre the Giant.

SPEAKER_06 17:58

Oh, okay. Tell us how you felt when you were a child. Just make my mom feel bad. She's gonna take it the wrong way.

SPEAKER_02 18:05

Well, yeah, we've already said it, so I might as well tell the story. It's not gonna make her feel bad. I'm the same way. I would have said the exact same thing to a child. Children are so dumb, their brains are so small, they can't comprehend. So you don't have to give them real answers, guys. Parenting tip.

SPEAKER_06 18:23

I like to give, I like to, yeah, I like to overexplain everything. And I like to think about things. Thinking is one of my favorite things to do.

SPEAKER_02 18:30

And he does not like answers that are like blase, kind of like, eh, it could have been this.

SPEAKER_06 18:36

I do not. If you're gonna if you're going to say something with conviction as if it's the truth, you better be really freaking sure that it's true, or I'm going to call you on it. Not to be a jerk, but because no, maybe I'm being a little bit of a jerk. I'm kind of compulsive. Or uh it's kind of a com compulsion.

SPEAKER_02 18:51

Well, I'm sorry, but I'm gonna tell the very quick experience story. Rob said, Rob told me this as an adult, so clearly didn't have any like formative power over him at all. But he asked his mom if Andre the Giant really weighed a ton. And he went literally, did he weigh 2,000 pounds? But as a mother who was probably doing a million things, she was like, Yeah, buddy. And then when Rob found out he didn't weigh 2,000 pounds, that was that was very much the beginning of the end, right? Yes. That's yeah, that's the lore. So now we've entered an era where Rob takes children to school. Uh and yeah, I guess you don't talk as much as you used to, but it depends on the morning. Yeah. Depends on how Rob takes our t our son to school. Honestly, for the last six years, you've been taking middle schoolers to school, um, of various family lineage lineages, uh, not just our own. And I like distinctly remember Lulie, one of our daughter's friends, being like, Rob just like he just like talks all the way to school. And I remember sometimes Rob would message me after he got to school and be like, Well, I hope uh Lulie's parents aren't upset with the things I share with them.

SPEAKER_06 20:00

Well, the last thing I said, I don't even know if I told you this, but the last conversation was uh with with Graham and Jane? About, yeah, and Clark, about um not talking to the police, not letting them search your car, even no matter what they say, no matter whether you're not you're innocent.

SPEAKER_02 20:18

I mean, I gave all sorts of examples about how no one could ever accuse Rob of not informing children, you know, because I mean ignorance is how you get into trouble, honestly. So hey, we'll take it.

SPEAKER_06 20:30

Yeah, well, I mean, as a kid, I would somebody would say, Oh no, I never did that, or no, I don't know anything about that. Let's not talk about that. And I would think, okay, but then you'd be faced with it in your actual life. And then you'd be like, well, I can't go to that person because they have no experience with it. So I'm gonna go to the people who do have experience with it, and they seem to be doing just fine. You try whatever it is, or you you know partake in whatever, and it's not so bad. In fact, it's awesome. And then you know, hilarity ensues. Yeah, and then before you know it, Dana Play-Doh. Rest in peace.

SPEAKER_02 21:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 21:04

Different strokes.

SPEAKER_02 21:05

And I'll I'll just circle back to uh your mother. If all mother-in-laws were like your mother, there would be zero mother-in-law stereotypes.

SPEAKER_06 21:13

Yeah, my parents, I can't. I'm just gonna go. The worst thing she ever did was not answered. It's not my parents' fault. Yeah, by the way.

SPEAKER_02 21:20

Anyway, that just explains why we overexplained why we're gonna do it.

SPEAKER_06 21:22

I'm gonna have the exact same opposite effect on my kids. They're gonna go.

SPEAKER_02 21:24

They're never gonna answer anyone's questions. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 21:26

It's you can't win.

SPEAKER_02 21:27

Like the kids will ask a question, and Rob will still be talking like 30 minutes later, I'll look in the backseat and they're both like sleeping or have headphones on, and he's still talking about it.

SPEAKER_06 21:34

I'm just like, Carolyn says she's just asking me questions sometimes just because she just wants to have white noise on, essentially. That's so great. Hey, whatever. That's okay. So we just replaced consumption corner for like a little with explanation corner. Rob on the couch corner.

SPEAKER_02 21:51

That's right.

SPEAKER_06 21:51

Um, psychotherapy corner.

SPEAKER_02 21:53

Yeah, I love that.

SPEAKER_06 21:54

You're the psycho.

SPEAKER_02 21:56

What are you? The therapy?

SPEAKER_06 21:58

Therapized. You're a music therapist. I am. Isn't that amazing?

SPEAKER_02 22:01

I'm a psychomusic therapist.

SPEAKER_06 22:03

Anything else we want to say about how we're saving time?

SPEAKER_02 22:10

I can't think of anything.

SPEAKER_06 22:12

Um we will talk, we will still talk about a little bit of consumption. We're just gonna keep it.

SPEAKER_02 22:18

I actually had a thing to share today.

SPEAKER_06 22:19

Oh, yeah, go ahead. What is it?

Kindle Unlimited Finds And Bad Editing

SPEAKER_02 22:21

Oh okay. Well I read a lot of stupid crap on Kindle Unlimited, and you would be uh shocked at how terrible um at how terribly they're edit. First of all, a lot of the Kindle Unlimited books are pretty bad. Um just like poorly made it.

SPEAKER_06 22:38

Yeah. Well there's like no Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 22:41

Yeah, but then there's also like the editing. It just does non-existent. Like there, like I was reading one, and like I'll get like a few chapters in and I'll be like, I can't do this. There's nothing redeeming about this, and then I'll move on. But like I saw one the other the other day where it had like a sentence that was let's just say it was like she went to the car to get a blah blah blah. And then the very next paragraph, literally right underneath it, it said, She went to the car to get a blah blah blah. It was like you didn't even see that that sentence was written two times. Or it's like they I don't know if you've ever seen people's like YouTube videos where they're editing, but they they say the same thing twice, but they forget to edit it out the first time when they fixed it, so you hear them say it twice. Like, that's how it is in the book. And I'm just like, this is crazy. So anyway, I did stumble upon one that is a it's a good romance one. It's also a bit of a closed door romance.

SPEAKER_06 23:28

That means that there's no lighting. Um explicit family show, so I won't. There's no like a there's not like a gnome taking a bath in it.

SPEAKER_02 23:37

Like the X-rayed cartoon we're gonna talk about. Oh, sorry. Anyway, Susie Tate, the author, and the book is called Beyond R Tate. Beyond Repair. And it's just like a stupid romance novel, but it actually is well edited and somewhat well written. And if you're looking for some trash that's not really trash, that's just fluff. That's a good one.

SPEAKER_06 24:00

So we're just this is an interesting choice of words for what for the topic you're talking about.

SPEAKER_02 24:05

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 24:05

Are you familiar with it?

SPEAKER_02 24:06

I I am. You don't need to go on. I unfortunately I know too much.

SPEAKER_06 24:11

Is it okay? You're welcome. I love you. But anyway, that was. Is that because of me? Or did you just was that like your dad?

SPEAKER_02 24:17

We talk about Yeah, it's most of the terrible things I know I learned from my dad. Yeah. Not you.

SPEAKER_06 24:23

He's a big flaw guy.

SPEAKER_02 24:26

Go on.

SPEAKER_06 24:27

Your eyes. Go on. Okay. Um we were gonna talk about people under the stairs. We we'll we'll talk about that later. Yeah, that's my fault. Not the movie. No. The um double K and uh Test One. The uh duo. Remember when we watched it in college?

SPEAKER_02 24:49

Watched the movie though?

SPEAKER_06 24:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 24:51

Had you already seen it?

SPEAKER_06 24:52

No.

SPEAKER_02 24:53

So you didn't know it was gonna be as stupid as it was?

SPEAKER_06 24:55

No.

SPEAKER_02 24:55

And like the people I worked with. Oh my god, this is like the scariest movie we've ever seen.

SPEAKER_06 24:59

It wasn't even uh you know some scary movies are like they're stupid, or they're you know, they're they're they're but they're they're scary. They're at least kind of scary, or they're at least or that there's at least something memorable. And this sh this movie just kind of sucks all the way. It's scarable. It had Ving Rames in it. That was about its only redeeming quality. I don't know why I remember that. I guess because I love Ving Rames.

SPEAKER_02 25:20

So anyway, I dropped the ball on my assignment for listening to that. I've I've heard it, we've listened to it in the car several times, like on trips. But I need to I need to be a little bit more. We'll just talk about I just didn't have time between we recorded pretty back to back this time, I feel like. And I didn't have a whole lot of time.

SPEAKER_06 25:35

Yeah, we've got like, I think what we did the last one four days ago.

SPEAKER_02 25:38

Yeah, Monday night.

SPEAKER_06 25:39

Yeah, which is why my notes are such a mess. Oh my god. It's always my notes. My notes, my notes. Oh I know this morning.

SPEAKER_02 25:46

This morning you got up at seven o'clock. I'm like, why it's Saturday morning. I'm like, why are you getting up? He's like, I gotta get my notes together. I gotta make coffee and put my notes together. And two and a half hours later, you got the notes together.

SPEAKER_06 25:58

There's other stuff that was done.

SPEAKER_02 26:00

Well, I took a walk.

SPEAKER_06 26:01

I took a Browntown. A little Browntown Express. What do you think about that? I think that's crazy. So, anyways, yeah, we'll keep we'll keep talking about uh weekly albums. And uh I do enjoy that. We'll do it a little quicker and I'd like to kind of build them into main topics. Yeah. Like we could do one where we go through and be like Okay, this is a list of all the albums we listened to the last 20 episodes, 20 weeks. Which one of these are gonna make the cut for a road trip? That kind of thing.

SPEAKER_02 26:30

Yeah, I like that.

SPEAKER_06 26:31

So we'll okay.

SPEAKER_02 26:33

And uh And with that, he has saved our marriage.

SPEAKER_06 26:36

And with yeah, look at that. Always trying to make just make a little improvement every time.

SPEAKER_02 26:41

Every day you just try to be a little better than you were yesterday.

SPEAKER_06 26:44

I also said I would talk about Carry and Comfort by Dan Simmons. I don't know how the angle I want to it's it's it's first of all, so I listened to it. It's like 37-ish hours, which is a few years. I probably heard about four to six sentences of it. Did you what'd you think?

SPEAKER_02 27:00

Well, every time I turn my car on, if you're anywhere nearby, it would like start playing your stuff.

SPEAKER_06 27:04

You finish up driving and you're already connected to your own phone. I will intentionally go slowly. So your Bluetooth doesn't the Highlander Bluetooth uh logic is the stupidest thing in the world, but whatever. Um first world problems.

SPEAKER_01 27:18

Yeah.

Dan Simmons And Brutal Villains

SPEAKER_06 27:18

So the Carry and Comfort by Dan Simmons. Uh, this came up, it was put on my radar, never read anything by Dan Simmons, put on my radar in our Desert Island episode where I said I would take Dan Simmons' entire body of work kind of on a on a gamble, just because I've I've heard great things and he he's a big genre spanning writer. Great reputation. Carry and comfort is the debut of the Dan Simmons uh work that I decided to break into, and I really loved it. It's so terrible, like it's so brutal and offensive, and there's just tons of indiscriminate killing, and there's horrible genocide and racism and all sorts of like sexual assault and terrible themes. But all the so all the it's about these psychic vampires. I don't want to give too much away, but they they call them vampires, they're not actually vampires, not the blood kind of vampire, right? Are they feed off of uh sort of not really? They they can definitely heal themselves by by causing death or some sort basically usually let's just call it death. No, I wish. We should do the lighthouse on the show. I really that that movie really stayed with me. No.

SPEAKER_02 28:38

I um I have a question for you about this book, but you can keep talking.

SPEAKER_06 28:43

So the villains are just your quintessential, awful villains.

SPEAKER_02 28:48

You hate them? You hate a you hate a nasty villain.

SPEAKER_06 28:51

Yeah, they're they're terrible, but they're so bad that they're almost perfect. Like they're like it's it feeds as the show, as the book develops, it feeds into it just creates this big plot, and you find out kind of why they are the way they are, and it's just like, yes, they are they're so evil that they're not even evil. They're just this is this is their directive.

SPEAKER_01 29:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 29:12

And it's like literally baked into their survival. It's almost like I don't want to give too much away. It's not really in it's not a huge reveal necessarily, but the book just builds and slowly grows, both in terms of explanation for what's going on, but also scale and also genre. It's like parts, it's a really more of a thriller than it is a horror, even though horrible, horrible things happen.

SPEAKER_02 29:35

I know. I keep thinking, wow, I want to read this, and then you keep reminding me about that stuff right now. I did.

SPEAKER_06 29:38

I mean, the only reason I'm saying that is because it's it is, I mean, there's like, you know, I say this because my mom, you know, kids die. You got a lot of very racist terminology used.

SPEAKER_02 29:49

It's almost like Are you saying that because this is stuff your mom loves?

SPEAKER_06 29:53

Mom, kids die. However, it there's a lot of racism, which you love, being from the South and all. No, but the there is this the Southern character, Melanie. Oh my gosh, she is she's just something. I I I I love the hate 'em nicknames for the people in the world. The way she refers to the black protagonist is it I'm not easily offended, but it grinds on you by the end of the book. But anyways, um But it's a I really I really enjoyed it. I mean, I I loved it, actually. It just it's so absurd, but so it's it's well written. Um I don't know if you would like it or not. I feel like if you could get if you could get to the first it's it it's it's huge. It's like it's almost like it becomes like almost like a spycraft movie, mixed with like Battle Royale and Epstein Island and freaking it's just crazy and it's Red Rising, like the later Red Rising books? Um like I said, it's it's all over different genres and tropes, and I'm not sure what because this was written in the early 80s, so I'm not sure. Oh really? Yeah, I don't know what was inspired by what and how did you fall into this book? I just uh I just wanted to see what the But I mean how did you discover it? The Desert Island podcast we did.

SPEAKER_02 31:12

Oh, oh, oh, oh, right.

SPEAKER_06 31:13

I wanted to find out about Dan Simmons. Yeah. An author I had.

SPEAKER_02 31:16

Can you imagine I can't even really imagine writing a book, but can you imagine writing a book where you're constantly in that world where you're creating these awful It's gotta be a pretty weird headspace.

SPEAKER_06 31:28

I often wonder that when he was writing some of the stuff. How much of this is he saying this to make his character you know to vilify his character? Because like in a lot of most of the the protagonists are awesome, like the good guys in the book, like super good. Yeah, but don't yeah, I'll just say don't get like too attached. Um you never know who's gonna go. It's like Game of Thrones. Actually, this in this book, like this the the overarching arching storyline is a lot like Game of Thrones in terms of just huge power plays. Yeah, because all these folks are like on there's like a pre there's a preacher, there's a literal Nazi, there's like an a woman with like antebellum south values, there's a like again, like a Epstein type character, there's a pornographer rapist character. There's all and these are all the and they all like kind of are buddies with each other, and they played these crazy games.

SPEAKER_02 32:21

I don't think I can read this.

SPEAKER_06 32:22

So you learn as much about the villains, like the character development follows the villains just as much as it does.

SPEAKER_02 32:29

Well, as it's like how I'm always like, well, this is why people do bad things, because bad things were done to them.

SPEAKER_06 32:35

Yeah, yeah. In this case, it's more of like an evolutionary reason, although some of the I could elaborate. It's a long book, right? It goes into a lot of stuff. But I also often wonder like how much of this is Dan Simmons and just kind of older, you know, because this book's like 50 years old or 40 or whatever.

SPEAKER_02 32:52

Things are more commonplace, yes, more culturally acceptable at that time.

SPEAKER_06 32:56

Exactly. And how much of it is he's just trying to create a a book where you really hate these guys. And anyways, it's uh it's cool.

SPEAKER_02 33:07

It's like it's like Heath Ledger and the Joker. There's like two, it's like you just get into this. Yeah, it's like he's awful, but you love Well, no, but I just mean like as the actor having to play this character. Right, like a method as the author having to write all this stuff and just having that all in your brain all the time, and having to to like think through like what's the what other terrible things should this person be doing? Ugh, I just couldn't do it.

SPEAKER_06 33:33

I could.

SPEAKER_02 33:34

I'm just so good.

SPEAKER_06 33:35

I could definitely do it. I could write like this. Um I can't write as well as he could, but as far as disturbing, yeah, I could be easily cute. Remember I'll talk about my creative writ creative writing experiences as a kid and some of my teachers' reactions. Um we had to finish a Russian roulette story in seventh grade.

SPEAKER_02 33:55

That's such a strange uh topic started.

SPEAKER_06 33:58

Yeah, my tea shout out to Mr. Phillips. Anyways, Mr. Phillips, we had uh it was a Russian roulette, like, and then they pulled the trigger and then and then he's like, Alright, kids, you finish the and I just dad would never can you even imagine them handing that out today? I made mine so incredibly violent.

SPEAKER_02 34:18

He deserved that. You should have.

SPEAKER_06 34:20

He loved it. He had me come up and he's like, Would you mind reading that in front of the class? He's just like the way you wrote that.

SPEAKER_02 34:25

Okay, just imagine that today.

SPEAKER_06 34:27

No, dude, we'd like we're gonna get exposed.

SPEAKER_02 34:30

Yeah, if Clark came home and was like I read, I somebody read, somebody stood up and read this, I'd be like, uh, what? Why was that even a writing prompt? When I was in sixth grade, it's just like at the very least, it's just kind of an insensitive thing to ask children.

SPEAKER_06 34:45

It's pretty the whole thing from start to finish is messed up.

SPEAKER_02 34:48

I mean it's terrible, but I mean at the very least, you don't know what kids in your classroom who have have been uh exposed to gun violence in their families or totally.

SPEAKER_06 34:57

Oh no, it's insane. It's insane. I'm not like glorifying, but at the time I was all about it, obviously. Um by my choices. Another time when I was in sixth grade, I had to uh write a I do a creative writing assignment and I made mine about like an alien invasion, and it was just over-the-top slaughter violence on both ends. It had to be like two pages. Mine was like 20, and I was like just starting. I was just like, so I wanted to get up and read it in front of the class, and my my teachers were always like they're always all. Yeah, like pat you on the back for the violence, like the things I used to draw in class. Like I I drew this huge line.

SPEAKER_02 35:37

And no one ever sent you to the guidance counselor?

SPEAKER_06 35:40

No, it's like it was uh the 80s, 70s and 80s.

SPEAKER_02 35:45

It's a different time to be alive.

SPEAKER_06 35:46

People who are younger, or I don't know, whatever. I I don't I'm gonna talk like I'm some some expert. I know every generation has this weird retrospective. When I was young, yeah. But in any case, 70s and I watch a lot of 70s and 80s media. And it's like really heavy and dark and super violent, super gross, very disturbing. I mean, like Quentin Tarantino, for all of his questionable content, was just basically nursed. He was like bottle fed that stuff from like four years old. Like it's it's pretty dark stuff. So like sorry, go ahead.

SPEAKER_02 36:23

No, no, I was just gonna say this is probably completely stupid theory, but do you think like like in in everyday life people didn't talk about stuff like that with each other back then? Like parents didn't tell kids things and kids didn't tell their parents stuff, and then that was the outlet for this could be the side of humanity.

SPEAKER_06 36:41

We should probably make this a main topic. No, I'm just saying, like, because I I want to start talking about it. We're never gonna get we look at what we did. I think we somehow made it longer.

SPEAKER_02 36:52

I think we all right. Let's move on. Let's move on.

SPEAKER_06 36:54

I do want to keep going, but no, no, do you want to?

SPEAKER_02 36:57

I want to move on.

SPEAKER_06 36:58

Okay, should we?

SPEAKER_02 36:59

Yeah.

Old Media Violence And School Prompts

SPEAKER_06 36:59

Because by the time we get to different to Alan Thick, we're not gonna want to talk about it. Let's go. You ready? Should we go cannibal the musical?

SPEAKER_02 37:08

Cannibal the musical.

SPEAKER_06 37:08

We'll come back to yeah, to care c carry and comfort. Maybe maybe you read it and we we we pick this up again.

SPEAKER_02 37:15

Oh, gee.

SPEAKER_06 37:16

No, okay.

SPEAKER_02 37:18

I'm not saying I won't, but if I do, it's gonna take me like six months. I mean, you've listened crazy to it and it how it took you.

SPEAKER_05 37:28

I listened crazy. Crazy.

SPEAKER_02 37:30

Like it still took you like a month, right? Um straight drag it off your listener.

SPEAKER_06 37:36

It took yeah, it took about three weeks, probably. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 37:39

Alright.

SPEAKER_02 38:09

I was gonna say where'd they get the money? So go fund me.

SPEAKER_06 38:12

Kind of. I mean it was I mean, he went and just basically hit up, apparently. I mean, this is the the minimal research I did, but he went up and hit up a bunch of he was like 23 at the time.

SPEAKER_02 38:22

Honestly, that's kind of a astonishing that he was able to do that with$125,000.

SPEAKER_06 38:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 38:29

The movie Did anyone get paid?

SPEAKER_06 38:31

SPEAKER_03 39:32

In Japanese.

SPEAKER_06 39:34

They're just straight, straight up speaking Japanese. It's kind of a I think it's sort of a commentary on on old Westerns and their um not being very lack of sensitivity to everything. Yeah. It's not funny, Leslie.

SPEAKER_02 39:53

You know a lot of the people that I see on hospice, you know what channel they have on without fail, without ceasing.

SPEAKER_06 39:59

Is it the the Western channel, though? Oh, I'm sure. Yeah. Would you consider this a good old Western?

Cannibal The Musical Plot Walkthrough

SPEAKER_06 42:41

Well, I'm glad you asked.

SPEAKER_02 42:42

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 42:43

So that's this dude I need to I used to work with uh before we moved down here. So we're talking, let's say 16 years ago.

SPEAKER_01 42:50

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 42:51

His name was Scott. Scott was an interesting guy, didn't know him that well, but I I really like I feel like if we if if I stuck around, we probably would have been like best friends. He played Final Fantasy VII uh once a year um and beat it. It was like part of his routine. He uh turned me on to do you remember the show Mr. Show? It was with David Cross and Bob Odenkirk. It was like before both of them started getting started. No, we watched a few of them. Maybe I just watched them by myself. But he turned me on. Oh, you know who he is? Who? He's the Here Come the Juices guy.

SPEAKER_02 43:22

Oh, from the from the sandwich restaurant.

SPEAKER_06 43:25

Yeah. I went to he's like, man, you gotta go to this restaurant. They have the best sandwiches, and it's like the steak is like super juicy, and like when you eat it, like the juice, like the juice comes out. And he was like, Eat-I'm eating a sandwich with him, and he's just like, he takes a bite, he's like, Oh, here come the juices. And I just fell over to the floor. I'm gonna apply that to so many things in my life.

SPEAKER_02 43:48

It's very and I have it's very wide ranging.

SPEAKER_06 43:51

Yeah, and Scott, thank you also for turning me on the cannibal the musical. He he referred to it in conversation. Oh, um he was sitting. In he was singing one of the songs.

SPEAKER_02 44:03

Fur Trapper one?

SPEAKER_06 44:05

No. Um uh what is the Shaboinkle? Spadoinkle? Spadoinkle. Yeah, Spido. Yeah, I was like, what is that? And he said There we go.

SPEAKER_02 44:20

Sorry. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_06 44:22

Oh my gosh, how does that happen? I think I've only hit the bike once in 25 episodes. I don't know. You need it 25 times in every episode.

SPEAKER_02 44:32

Yeah, spidoinkle day.

SPEAKER_06 44:34

Spidoinkle Day, where uh the the air is the sun is as hot as a baked potato. As hot as a baked potato, my heart is as full as a baked potato. And the air is as fresh as a baked potato. I know just what I mean.

SPEAKER_03 44:54

I know just what I mean. That's the best line. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 45:00

Um anyways, he was singing that, and it was the Brain If song. I think I'm saying that right, it which is South Park's like publishing company or distr distribution company. You know that it's that plane in the in the end of the after after the like the post credit post credits. Of South Park? Yeah, and he goes, Bom don't. Oh, that's that.

SPEAKER_01 45:23

That's from that.

SPEAKER_06 45:24

And he's like, well, this is that's yeah, exactly. That's what he said. He's like, you know what the end of South Park, where they play that? He's like, that's from Cannibal the Musical, and that was the first thing he ever did. First thing that that Trey and Matt ever worked on together. This babe, by the way, just pretty much Trey.

unknown 45:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 45:41

Like Matt is hilarious in it, as as Humphrey. Like, he's so funny. He basically plays the same character in Orgasmo as well. And baseball. It's worth a watch.

SPEAKER_01 45:52

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 45:52

Yeah. It's yeah. Okay. Um, but anyways, I I didn't know that, so of course I went. Oh, I don't remember the first time I I watched this and and where I watched it. I might have had to just assemble YouTube clips. So I don't think I ever actually just sat and watched this entire thing start to finish like we did. I think I just saw like all the musicals and some of the crazy.

SPEAKER_02 46:18

All the songs. It's it is a musical.

SPEAKER_06 46:19

It is a musical and it's not a bad one. What do you think?

SPEAKER_02 46:23

Well, I think it's if you've ever I love I'm I'm a big musical person. I could say I have some critiques.

SPEAKER_06 46:33

Oh, do you?

SPEAKER_02 46:34

I do.

SPEAKER_06 46:34

That's weird.

SPEAKER_02 46:35

Just on the formula.

SPEAKER_06 46:36

Excuse me, who are you to critique this movie?

SPEAKER_02 46:39

Just on the formula uh of what makes a musical great, he really we really miss out on Well, first of all, have you ever seen Oklahoma?

SPEAKER_06 46:49

I have not.

SPEAKER_02 46:50

Because you are mi you're you're missing a bit of um Oh, there's a lot of references. So like the opening number of Oklahoma starts with a single person singing, which actually the last time I saw Oklahoma was when the local high school put it together, and um Ian that does our church, he was the lead. Oh really? Yeah, I didn't know, of course, know him. He was in high school then, but okay. Um anyway, it's just like one farmer, one like hazy guy walking in the theater, and he walks in the back of the theater and he sings a very like the Schbadoinkle Day is very much like, oh, what a beautiful movie that song. It's very much a ripoff of that. And um, like a smaller ensemble, how they have. But what they're missing in the beginning is a big group number. Like an opening.

SPEAKER_06 47:41

Yeah, they kind of saved up for the end. Yeah, which they should have had. That's when I was like, Yes, this is great.

SPEAKER_02 47:46

But there's usually a pretty great, you know. So that's my that's the critique I have. And then the other, the only other critique I have really is that I wish there had been more music.

SPEAKER_06 47:55

Yeah, there were some droughts. Um they that would go a while with that.

SPEAKER_02 47:59

But it was as someone who was raised on especially older musicals like that, it is a hundred percent a very well-done parody of the city.

SPEAKER_06 48:08

It was also they're also like massive Monty Python fans.

SPEAKER_02 48:13

Yes.

SPEAKER_06 48:14

Like they kind of met over Monty Python.

SPEAKER_02 48:16

Oh, the first like opening scene with the horrific violence.

unknown 48:20

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 48:21

I was like, this is very Monty Python.

SPEAKER_06 48:23

This feels very Monty Python. It's like Ricky O level violent.

SPEAKER_02 48:26

Do you want to know what I wrote?

SPEAKER_06 48:28

What?

SPEAKER_02 48:28

I wrote horrific opening scene. Is this Ricky O?

SPEAKER_06 48:33

Story Is this the story of Ricky or the story of Alfred Packer? By the way, check out our Ricky O, The Story of Ricky episode. Yeah, it's a good one. A few away. A few a few ago.

SPEAKER_02 48:42

And if you liked if you should watch Ricky, the story of Ricky O.

SPEAKER_06 48:45

You should just watch it. Fine film. Sorry. This was a uh trauma film, which uh the copy I have is a vinegar syndrome one, which is a whole it's this whole I always when people don't know what I'm talking about. I'm not an expert in that, but I always think of like the Toxic Avenger or so do you remember USA Up All Night with Rhonda and then Gilbert Gottfried was in it? I I don't. They used to play movies like this. Like Trauma films. Like Trauma was the distributor. Okay. And anyways, they pulled played a ton of those, but this this got picked up by them.

SPEAKER_02 49:21

So I guess like that kind of per catapulted out a little.

SPEAKER_06 49:24

Yes. So then one thing led to another, Southwark came about.

SPEAKER_02 49:28

One thing I didn't really catch was that that horrific opening scene was just the way they portrayed his cannibalism in the courtroom.

SPEAKER_06 49:40

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 49:41

Cause I kept waiting for that to happen. And then when it didn't happen and it happened.

SPEAKER_06 49:45

He's like, that's not how it happened at all.

SPEAKER_02 49:46

Yeah, I didn't really I wasn't piecing that together.

SPEAKER_06 49:49

That is sort of the way it actually like this book is a book. This this movie is actually pretty similar not too far from the storyline of the actual, like, true events. Of Alfred Packer.

SPEAKER_01 50:05

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_06 50:05

Who led, I think it was like five five guys on a mining expedition, took them the wrong way, they got got lost. I don't know about Lee Ann and that whole thing. Or I don't know the horse love story. I think they sang too much, and I don't think they were uh the uh Nihonjan uh tribe tribe, I don't believe they had katanas either. Or the trappers. I don't know about that, but he did he was forced to defend himself more than likely. He did get off on technicality with the whole Colorado territory. Couldn't try him because a lot of it was actually kind of based on the on the true story, like it wasn't that far removed.

SPEAKER_02 50:44

Anyways, um Do they know whether or not he had ballet dreams?

SPEAKER_06 50:50

With the trapper. That was my guest. I love the trapper so much. Yeah. Oh, the ballet. I love they have like a stunt person with the dancing, and then they have him kind of like trying to recover from that.

SPEAKER_02 51:00

Yeah, I was like, this is really good. I'm surprised he's so and then immediately it's like oh that's not. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_06 51:06

I was surprised they didn't like stuff the front a little bit more. I feel like that'd be a little more of their speed, but I guess they have they have limits as well. Um but yeah, the the other Monty Python pieces were uh the beginning, where he talks about uh how he's like a something human humanitarian. Is it well they're c I I just thought about the you know that where they're showing the text in the beginning of the movie?

SPEAKER_02 51:33

Um that whole that huge Yeah, about how the Oklahoma came out at the same time and that's why this Yes.

SPEAKER_06 51:40

Yeah, yes, and then I just felt very Monty Python. It reminded me of yeah, the whole the moose, all the moose uh comments in the beginning of Holy Grail. Or or Wells. I think it was is that the character who was like God, God works in mysterious ways, which is like after after he like kills all of them, which is like he's the one that keeps saying that, or they or the or or do we need a scenario? But he but the way the the way he uh kept coming back reminded me of the Black Knight in uh Holy Grail that is a flesh wound and he just keeps getting his arms cut off. He's just a torso. And he comes back at the very end of this movie, which we will be spoiling.

SPEAKER_02 52:20

Yeah. Well, should I give a little rundown? Yeah, let's do it. So what's his name? Alfred?

SPEAKER_06 52:25

Uh-huh. Alfred L-F-E-R-D.

SPEAKER_02 52:29

Right, Alfred Packer. Which that sounds like something. But I can't think of what it is, so we'll go on.

SPEAKER_06 52:38

It sounds kind of like Alfred.

SPEAKER_02 52:39

It does, but I mean something Packer.

SPEAKER_06 52:41

Well, they they kind of played a little bit to the to the to the the Packer um piece when they're eating around the fire. That's not what you're thinking, clearly.

SPEAKER_02 52:51

So anyway, this guy's he ends up getting recruited to take a uh fire scene.

SPEAKER_06 52:57

I'm sorry. The campfire scene. Which one? Well, they're just all they're naked.

SPEAKER_02 53:02

Oh, and he's like, I'm just imagining that you're a woman. But they're half of them are wearing neckarchie. I have that written down.

SPEAKER_06 53:11

I really love I really actually kind of love this movie.

SPEAKER_02 53:14

Like I I'd like to watch it again sometime when I can breathe a little better.

SPEAKER_06 53:19

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 53:21

Go ahead. All right, so this guy, Alfred Packer, gets recruited to take a group of men from Utah to Breckenridge, Colorado. Yes. And he's like not super confident that like he's No, not at all. Yeah, he's like, I've been there before, but so they and they're gonna they want to go mine for gold somewhere else, which is why they're going. And so he brings his horse along and he's basically I think romantically in love with his horse.

SPEAKER_06 53:48

Basically.

SPEAKER_02 53:49

He has a whole song about her where it about how great he feels when he's on top of her.

SPEAKER_06 53:53

A little bit into scat.

SPEAKER_02 53:54

Yeah. Oh yeah, there's a scat scene.

SPEAKER_06 53:58

Yeah, a little bit horse scat. I think that maybe kind of loosely paved the way to Team America.

SPEAKER_02 54:03

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_06 54:04

With the uncut uh scene.

SPEAKER_02 54:06

I was thinking that Let's Build a Snowman song probably uh was inspirational for Frozen.

SPEAKER_06 54:10

I was thinking that too. And I was thinking that the uh all the the millions of groin punches and kicks to the uh trapper might have inspired Master Ken. In have you ever seen Master Ken on YouTube?

SPEAKER_02 54:24

No.

SPEAKER_06 54:24

He kind of dresses up like Ken from Street Fighter 2, and he is like almost all of his videos revolve around. Yes, I've seen this. Are they silly? Yeah, they're silly. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 54:33

I've seen that.

SPEAKER_06 54:34

But he just there's like 500 ways to hit somebody in the nuts, basically. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I I feel like this this move this movie might have might have inspired a lot of great minds.

SPEAKER_02 54:45

So anyway, they start off on their journey. He says it's gonna take them three weeks to get there. Um, one thing I love that they do in this movie is they have the map that shows you their terribly ridiculous circ circuitous paths.

SPEAKER_06 54:57

Like when they go down the Colorado River, they travel like a hundred miles in like 15 minutes. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 55:04

Compared to how they've been traveling. Because they're swept away in the river. Uh that was the Green River, I think, that they traveled the first time. Because he was like, Are there any more rivers like this? He's like, No, just the Colorado. And then they show another cutscene where they get out of the Colorado. So anyway, they basically they get lost.

SPEAKER_06 55:22

Yes, yeah, that's that's accurate.

SPEAKER_02 55:23

One of them gets oh, oh, they have an encounter with the fur trappers.

SPEAKER_06 55:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 55:27

Who are one of the things I had written is like every once in a while in the very beginning, like you would see like some people's costuming was incredibly period appropriate, but then you'd see some people in some stuff that was just like they clearly bought that wall at like American Eagle or I don't know if that was even a store then, but like it was just like a plaid flannel that was like not it was a very modern day cut. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 55:48

Well, especially the guy with the uh those big blousy sleeves.

SPEAKER_02 55:52

Well, at the very end, it had to be a woman's shirt. But but after I had written the blue plaid, okay, so Lucky Larry's this guy that this like they just carry this stretcher with a burning body in it, and the guys carrying that have this electric blue plaid on, like the color of your now gene blottle. And I had written this, these are not exactly period plaid, and then like right after that they meet the fur trappers who have like these jean jackets on, and they have like cut-out letters in animal hide on the back of their jackets.

SPEAKER_03 56:24

I can't remember what it said, like the trappers or something like that.

SPEAKER_06 56:28

They have like zebra print, yeah. Like the feeds are made out of different animal hides. You got the guy with the skunk hat with the with the little eyes on it. And then uh Humphrey's like, nice hat.

SPEAKER_02 56:40

Says it twice. So anyway, they have this encounter with the fur trappers.

SPEAKER_06 56:44

Fur trappers make fun of him for uh they say his helpless animal skin with my bare hands. Well, not there.

SPEAKER_02 56:53

Well, hold on. We're not to the part where they meet back up again. Sorry, okay. I'm at the part where they like they act like his horse is unhappy being with him. And he has like this.

SPEAKER_06 57:02

He's a trapper horse. He's a trapper horse. He's an Arabian.

SPEAKER_02 57:04

He's an Arabian horse and a trapper horse.

SPEAKER_06 57:06

And uh Red Dead Redemption 2. Yeah. White Arabian.

SPEAKER_02 57:10

Did you guys trap?

SPEAKER_06 57:11

Honestly, I don't want to spoil RDR too, but get yourself an Arabian. There's a bit of a there's a there's I've known some grown men who have cried with their horse story. This uh my my experience with RDR too kind of kind of got me ready for this movie.

SPEAKER_02 57:30

Yeah, it helped you understand where Alfred was coming from. His love affair with that horse. Exactly.

SPEAKER_06 57:36

So by the way, Alfred was wearing like mom jeans, basically.

SPEAKER_02 57:39

Basically, yeah. He was just wearing like like he's like, oh, denim jeans from the late 80s are fine for me to wear in this.

SPEAKER_06 57:46

But you know, it's probably a lot like Tim and Eric how they you always say, like, do you think this sketch started because they found a funny new effect on their computer and just decided to build a sketch around it?

SPEAKER_02 57:56

Or they found these wigs and they're like, hey, let's you know Or like that one time when we went to the Columbus Zoo. I don't think you were with us, but there was like there's a boat ride at the Columbus Zoo, and it was like a pirate-themed one. And uh my sister and I were cracking up because the whole time it just felt like somebody had like a had gotten a great deal on a bunch of pirate problems.

SPEAKER_06 58:16

Tell me about that, yeah. Like wholesale pirates. What do we do with the stuff we can do?

SPEAKER_02 58:21

But it was like the it it always like the Columbus Zoo, like the path of the boat ride is always the same. It just looked like they had put statues shut up statues of pirates around while you just travel through. Like has nothing to do with piracy. Anyway, uh so then they encounter quote heavy air quotes Native Americans who are Japanese people wearing headdresses and stuff.

SPEAKER_06 58:47

They were a bunch of Japanese foreign exchange students, apparently. That's what I read.

SPEAKER_02 58:53

The guy that played the chief was great, unbelievably funny.

SPEAKER_06 58:56

He was so great.

SPEAKER_02 58:57

He was so good.

SPEAKER_06 58:58

If all of his delivery these people actors Honestly, the acting wasn't I mean, it wasn't great, but it wasn't that bad.

SPEAKER_02 59:05

No.

SPEAKER_06 59:06

Yeah, I mean I think it was a lot of acting.

SPEAKER_02 59:07

That's what I'm saying. Like the guy that played the chief was like he an actor, or was he just like a random?

SPEAKER_06 59:11

I don't know. I I didn't uh you know, we just watched it last night. I didn't do not do my my thorough level of of uh research, but he was. I loved that guy. The uh chief um I have it written down somewhere. But yeah, that that guy was great. I love anyways, continue.

SPEAKER_02 59:29

Uh I did accidentally skip over their group number, that's all I'm asking for. Or they each had like a dream for their trip.

SPEAKER_06 59:37

Yes. I don't want to do anything anymore. That's all I'm asking for.

SPEAKER_03 59:40

Who was the one that said that?

SPEAKER_06 59:42

I don't remember.

SPEAKER_02 59:43

That's I relate heavily to that.

SPEAKER_06 59:46

I do too. Although I think I'm lined up.

SPEAKER_02 59:49

And then the scene, yeah, where they get they get a they get swept away and they have to cross the river and like they get out and they're freezing to death, so they take off all their clothes and bundle up with each other.

SPEAKER_06 59:57

Sing uh what I was on top of you.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:00

I didn't sing it out then, dude. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:01

Was that when he sings? That's when he does the horse song.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:04

Because his horse runs away. Yeah. And he thinks the horse, like they're all like, he left, she just left you. And then like he's nervous that he won she wanted to become a trapper horse. And anyway, um, yeah, and they all have like they're all completely naked, but they have their cowboy hats on and their neckerchiefs. They're all laying together and cuddled up for body heats. Really funny. Um, yes, and so then when they when they discover the Japanese Native Americans, someone's gonna take this out of context.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:32

There's no way we can if we're gonna talk about this, we're just gonna lose. Let's just say that they were super charming and funny, and that is the truth.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:41

I love, I mean, I'm sure this is the point, but like they were like just fully like, okay, yeah, these are Indians. Like they weren't really cool.

SPEAKER_06 1:00:53

Like Indians.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:55

Japanese people just kept saying they were Indians.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:58

So then they discover that the fur trappers are also like waiting out a storm at this Indian tribe. It's Japanese.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:06

Native American I don't know if I'm saying that right.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:10

It's and then that's when we get the famous Trapper song. So if you want to quote some trapper lyrics.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:16

I love the trapper song. I think it's my is it your I think it's my favorite song from the it's very, very good. Just I love the what's the main guy's name? Uh he's got a Frenchie? Yeah, Frenchie, but what is his actual full name?

SPEAKER_02 1:01:29

I have no idea.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:30

It's a it's absurd.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:31

You mean from the movie?

SPEAKER_06 1:01:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:32

I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 1:01:33

Uh anyways, that guy's great. Uh it it's it's it's kind of like a what would you call it, like a pirate, like a uh sea shanty kind of feel to it. Don't don't don't don't don't no don't. Here you go, Dennis.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:53

And then they go uh yo ho the fur, cut the skin out with my knife.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:03

And the one guy like really could not sing. The third trapper that would always add the third rate repeat is so bad.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:10

But then they like they I don't they say that he can't sing.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:12

They talk about him being flat, which reminds me of the uh the whole stuff I wonder if that inspired the stepbrother scene with my name. Oh, yes. He's like, okay, I'm gonna take us off. I can sing high like this. I'm gonna save this.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:26

Well, then they have the music theory fight. Is that why you made me watch that the first time?

SPEAKER_06 1:02:29

It might have been. I think it was because I was like, I do this to Leslie all the time, except I'm not it's more like dancing around. I'm just asking ignorant questions. But Mixolydian.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:38

Yeah. They're arguing over like uh relative minors, and it's like, no, it's that's three steps down.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:44

But technically it would have been a thirteenth of anything. How uh were you able to keep up?

SPEAKER_02 1:02:53

Keep up with it? Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:02:54

I figured you were.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:54

That sounded like And I do think Mixolydian was da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, like flat seven. Oh gosh, it would I'm sure it was right. I they seem like they know exactly what they're doing.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:06

Yeah. Well, they went on to write, I think didn't Book of Mormon win like a Tony or something.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:11

Well, I don't know if it won a Tony, but I'm wildly acclaimed.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:16

We we're going to do probably at some point we're gonna do Team America on the show. We're gonna have to do we're gonna have to do South Park Bigger, Longer, Uncut. I love both those movies. They're very formative for me.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:32

And then, oh, one thing I didn't mention was that he's telling the story.

SPEAKER_06 1:03:36

Yes. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:37

He's telling the story to a woman and she's a reporter. So she uh so so basically Polly? Polly. Polly with a some other P like. Polly Pry?

SPEAKER_06 1:03:48

Polly Pry's? Something like that.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:49

Something like that. Anyway, so she uh she has a song because she's basically seems to be falling in love with Alfred Packer. Um so she has a great voice. Yeah, she's the most serious song of all the songs. But still not quite serious.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:11

And with the exception of the uh the guy coming down the stairs.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:16

Yes.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:16

It's like an extra, but he's a good one. It wasn't that funny, but it was uh I just love they they they were cutting their teeth and they were doing it super fast with this movie. Like they it's crazy that this is their first.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:30

I kept thinking like if we knew these guys and then we they showed us this movie, we'd be we would be hyperventilated. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:36

Exactly. It's well put yeah. I think having seen like pretty much all of their stuff now, yeah, uh it makes it even funnier. Yeah, just yeah, it's you get it's like you're growing up together. If you're a South Park fan or any kind of fan of Straight Park, yeah, you got you have to watch this movie.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:53

Or alternately, alternatively, if you like musicals and parodies, you will appreciate this.

SPEAKER_06 1:04:58

If you like um B movies, yeah, you will like this as well. This actually has way more appeal than you might think.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:06

It's also pretty funny. I don't know where else to where to fit this in the conversation, but we just got a OLED 77-inch C5 TV, a really nice TV. And like literally just unboxed it. The first thing we watched on it is something that's in like 480p.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:27

And that was like, because we got this, it's like a uh upgrade from the one we had. So I'm like, are we gonna be able to tell a difference on this new TV? You were like, not in this movie. Uh okay, so then they get lost, they decide to get go against the advice of the Japanese and go ahead and cross the um Rockies in a terrible snowstorm.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:46

Is that are they starting to think that maybe Alfred just wants to get his horse at this point?

SPEAKER_02 1:05:50

Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're they're like, wait a second, you're just dragging us all over the place because you're looking for your horse.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:55

And they say, watch out for the Cyclops.

SPEAKER_06 1:05:58

Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:59

This guy was the

SPEAKER_06 1:06:01

Yeah, I didn't I didn't look up who that was. I I need to.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:04

Okay, so Trey Parker look, well, he's like what six.

SPEAKER_06 1:06:07

I'd probably meant like five tennis, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:09

And then Matt Stone was a little taller than that.

SPEAKER_06 1:06:11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:12

This guy was easily six eight. Six ten that played the Cyclops.

SPEAKER_06 1:06:18

Or at least made out to be. He was huge. Yeah. He reminded me a little bit of the warden from Rookie O.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:23

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_06 1:06:23

Didn't he?

SPEAKER_02 1:06:24

I did not catch that at all.

SPEAKER_06 1:06:27

Oh, but would you say? Or no?

SPEAKER_02 1:06:29

I didn't feel that way. Anyways, go on. But some of the special effects for sure.

SPEAKER_06 1:06:34

With his eye.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:34

So he has no eye, and every time he talks, his eye squirts out. Over everybody. Like pus. It was very disgusting. And it made noise constantly. And how do they get rid of him?

SPEAKER_06 1:06:47

I just thought I don't I I was trying to remember it. I was remembering what Humphrey was saying. Matt Stone just has great lines. I just thought about when he was talking to the Japanese guys and he was doing the translation. He's just like, he's saying, My name is I'm a carpenter. This is my brother Tom.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:04

And the guy's like, you don't speak Japanese, or whatever. You don't understand the thing of the thing they're saying.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:09

Don't talk anymore. Anyways, I don't remember what I don't uh I think they just run. Because he thinks they're from the south, and then they find they find it.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:17

Oh, and they just run away from him.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:18

And then the one guy. So I I kept losing track. It's 1.1.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:22

So we're gonna kill a sheep. They were gonna kill his lamb.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:24

Eat his lamb, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:25

Eat his lamb.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:27

But one who got who got their leg caught in the bear trap?

SPEAKER_06 1:07:30

That was uh Wells.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:32

Now is he the one? He's not the one that was building the snowman.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:36

No, that is I should remember his full name. It's three um because he says we could call the snowman whatever his name is, something Willis. Shannon Willis, Shannon Wells Brown or something like that. He's like, we can make him short or not so short.

SPEAKER_01 1:07:51

Beowulf. Or not as tall.

SPEAKER_06 1:07:54

We can make him short or not as tall. We could name Shannon Wilson Brown. Anyways. No. Yeah, those are the two guys who keep trying to put everybody in timeout. He's like, we warned you.

SPEAKER_00 1:08:06

And then he did put something.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:07

Let's go to timeout. And he's just like, he's got this some they never really explain his gut or why it doesn't go away when they're starving.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:14

Oh yeah, that's true. And it's like he's like easily the most attractive one.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:20

But they just but they have his shirt stuffed like a pregnant belly. Like a beer belly, really. So yeah, so they have a tap dancing scene in the snow. And then um I'm sorry. That's okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:08:33

But Humphrey's like. When I say Humphrey, I mean Matt Stone and vice versa. At the kind of toward the end, he's like, I just thought of something. I just thought of something.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:43

How did he make that tapping sound when he was dancing? Like, that's why we're starving to death, and that's what you had.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:50

And then uh and then Alfred has a dream where he and the um the trapper trapper are ballet dancers. Which, if you've ever seen a ballet, is also like in ballet, they don't speak. And like I remember went to ballet camp a few times and we had a whole session on the hand motions and what they mean. And like they use the same ones in all ballets. So is it is it almost like if you have spread your arm out in front of you, it's like welcome. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:22

Like a ballet sign language?

SPEAKER_02 1:09:23

Yes, and so they have like a fight scene in the ballet in like a pretty accurate vocabulary symbol, I don't know, body language signs. So that's pretty funny. That was pretty funny to me.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:35

No, that is. That's uh they get they they have some culture to them. Like they really did.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:42

Um and then they all do you know what a reprise is?

SPEAKER_06 1:09:48

Um It's like when a theme comes back.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:52

Oh, that's another thing they did is they used the musical themes for all the characters. So you would hear the fur trapper song when the fur trappers were on. And you would hear the um schpadwinkle day at various times. Well then they hate it.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:07

By the way, I love the way they use schpadwinkle for like everything.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:09

Like it's a bad word, it's a good word. He's like falling, he's running and he falls, he's like also so they have like that all I'm asking for song, but then they they're all like dying and they sing a very brief.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:24

Yes, kind of all together like in a uh kind of uh death march sort of.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:30

And then you can describe the rest because I stopped taking notes as I couldn't breathe anymore after that.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:34

Um Shannon Willis Bell. That makes sense. Yeah, yeah, that was it. Oh, Bell was sorry, I was looking up this the let's build a snowman. Um so, anyways, yeah, they get they they dance, and then he wakes up and is that about the time when he starts to try to dance again, and then the guy shoots him. Yes, because after he builds a snowman. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:57

And he starts But he comes back later to start building another snowman.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:01

And then the guy can't take it. The guy with the bear trap leg can't take it anymore, and he shoots Wells, I think.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:07

Yeah. Wells and Bell.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:08

Is that I don't know I truly never caught any of them.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:11

I think that's it. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:12

Um so he shoots him and kills him, and then they eat him. And they're like carrying his body parts around, they're like half-eaten brain. Oh my gosh, his half-eaten brain.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:22

He's just sitting around.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:23

Carrying it like a baby.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:24

Like a hollowed-out human with a beard. Yeah, mystery.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:29

He looks like a paper mache.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:30

I love when they when they first start eating them. I mean, first of all, you got Matt Stone is basically just like sitting, he's just always has a different body part in his face, like eating like a every time. But he's like, Well, what he refuses to eat the shoes because like, yeah, they're gross. You put your feet in them.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:49

Then he's eating his butt.

SPEAKER_06 1:11:50

He's like, Where do you want me to cut it? He's like, You're the butcher, butch. And he's like, cutting off his butt. He's like, Why are you cutting his butt off?

SPEAKER_02 1:11:57

He's like, Well, what do you want? He's like, not butt.

SPEAKER_05 1:12:00

Not the butt.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:04

So then they decide they're starving and that they're gonna um well they they want to sacrifice one of them so they can keep eating.

SPEAKER_00 1:12:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:12

And he's like, Don't do that. I'm gonna go find I'm I'm Breckenridge is just over this next ridge. So he goes up to see, and of course, like they show the map, and he like goes completely the completely wrong direction. He comes back and they're all dead except for one. The bear trap leg I guess is still one that's still alive.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:27

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:28

And then they have that's when they have their fight scene where he just won't die.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:32

Yeah, a butcher dive to the face, a cleaver to the face, you got a uh gunshot to the head, you have a pickaxe to the heart, you have a stick to the eye.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:44

Yep.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:45

And then how does he ultimately he never dies? I guess he just kind of comes back. He's like at the very, very end. He's at the very last scene.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:54

So then they flash forward back to real life, and they're like, We're gonna hang you. You know, you're convicted of all this murder and cannibalism. They uh get ready to hang him, and then Polly comes back, and she's the one that's like technicality can't be tried for this crime because it happened before Colorado was a state.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:12

Mm-hmm. That all that all happens within like a second. How are they gonna end this movie? Because we had to pause it because Caroline came home. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:19

We're saying five, seven minutes left.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:22

And that's that was the group number, hang the Hang the Bastard. Hang the Bastard, yeah. We could say that. We could say it.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:29

I was like, I like it has a cowbell solo in it, too. I wonder if that inspired the uh um Farrell? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:36

Saturday Night Live.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:39

Bruce Dickens said Blue Oyster cult.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:42

Yeah, so um anyway, it was top tier.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:46

Yes, did you enjoy it?

SPEAKER_02 1:13:48

I did. I feel confidently that that is a a Napoleon dynamite for me, where the more you watch it, the more it just imprints on your soul.

SPEAKER_06 1:13:57

Yeah, yeah. It has a huge cult following.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:00

I gotta get my friend Renee to watch it. I think she'll hate it and love it. Should because she's very into musicals. Uh she's not as into, I don't think, like spoof silliness. But I think because of how well it parodies like Oklahoma and stuff like that, I think she'll I think she'll like it.

SPEAKER_06 1:14:22

You think Aaron would like it? We could try to sell an element tonight.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:26

Yeah, we can. Let's try.

SPEAKER_06 1:14:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:28

Cassie would hate it.

SPEAKER_06 1:14:29

Would she? Yeah. Just uh no well, how would your mom feel about this? Would she be able to get through it?

SPEAKER_02 1:14:35

I don't know. She's always surprising me, so I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_06 1:14:40

I'm going, I I know I asked you a question, and I'm just I can I just I wrote down some quotes in no particular order.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:47

Please do.

SPEAKER_06 1:14:48

Um She certainly is a Spadoical horse. That was You're cutting into his butt? Yeah. Well what kind of piece do you want? Oh yeah, that's the whole we already covered that. Uh you put your feet in those shoes. I'm a carpenter. My brother, this is my brother Tom. I'm gonna oh he's like, I'm gonna eat this guy in front of you.

SPEAKER_05 1:15:04

And he's like, he's serious.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:09

He like puts his mouth on his neck like he's gonna do it.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:14

I don't know why that stuff makes me laugh so hard. It's so stupid. I guess that's why. Um uh I was always as gentle as I could be. Oh, that was part of the song. Yeah. Um when they're standing in front of the river. He's like, How deep is it?

SPEAKER_02 1:15:35

What is that supposed to prove?

SPEAKER_06 1:15:39

He says, uh, oh, shucks know. Shucky darn darn.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:44

I feel like we've said that. We didn't even know where that came from. Yeah, we do.

SPEAKER_06 1:15:51

Shucky darn darn. I love the go to time out, and then the other guy's like, we warned you.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:57

And he tries to sit down, they're like farther, 20 feet. Turn around.

SPEAKER_06 1:16:02

It's like turn around more. Oh my gosh. Yeah, I I guess that's uh I'll think of 50 other things that I wanted to bring up. I'll have the the tiny Tim random cameo and the Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:14

God bless us, everyone.

SPEAKER_06 1:16:16

And then they zoom, but they go back and he's not there anymore. What do they do the is he dead? Uh tickle his armpits. Tickle his armpits to see if he's really just a lot of great, a lot of great lines. I this I will definitely watch this this movie again. Uh highly recommend it. Um, not the great, it's not their greatest work, but it is if you like their stuff, you have to watch this.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:40

Yeah, yes. You will appreciate it uh with a hindsight perspective.

SPEAKER_06 1:16:45

Yes. Epsol.

Mashup Choice And Theme Song Nostalgia

SPEAKER_02 1:16:48

All right.

SPEAKER_06 1:16:48

Shall we continue on to talk about our ultimate mashup? Super. I don't know. Do you know why I chose to mash up these songs? I think I wanted to do different strokes.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:17:02

And I really wanted to do David the Gnome, too.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:04

Do you know that I never have really watched Different Strokes? Is that what you're talking about, Willis?

SPEAKER_06 1:17:10

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:10

Okay. I don't think I've ever read it.

SPEAKER_06 1:17:12

What you talking about, Willis. Yeah. What did I say? It was well, it was originally what are you talking about, Willis? But the way Gary Coleman said it, he's the one who kind of made it. What you talking about? No, uh Todd Bridges is Willis.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:24

Okay. So I was thinking Different Strokes was moving on up for a while.

SPEAKER_06 1:17:30

Oh no, it's the Jefferson.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:32

Right, I know that now. Now that I've learned the song.

SPEAKER_06 1:17:35

Oh yeah, I guess that is again another but another theme song that kind of explains the premise of the show.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:41

Yeah, yes.

SPEAKER_06 1:17:42

Like yeah, I I just love it. It's cheesy, but it's great. I love it.

David The Gnome Origins And Lyrics

SPEAKER_02 1:17:46

So yeah, we did a mashup of David the Gnome and different strokes. The TV theme songs.

SPEAKER_06 1:17:52

Yes. David the Gnome.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:54

Cartoon from the 80s?

SPEAKER_06 1:17:56

The 80s.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:56

And what network played that?

SPEAKER_06 1:17:59

Dude. So this is this is made from a Dutch book.

SPEAKER_02 1:18:05

Spanish brought to life.

SPEAKER_06 1:18:07

And then picked up by a Spanish company, BRB, I believe was the name of the company. Taiwanese animation with an American adaptation.

SPEAKER_02 1:18:20

It did feel kind of uh not ju not gib not anime, but like it felt I don't know, the animation.

SPEAKER_06 1:18:28

Yeah, it does a certain animation quality. It's kinda a little g uh ghibbly.

SPEAKER_02 1:18:31

I just thought that the mouths didn't match up because they were dubbed over in English.

SPEAKER_06 1:18:37

No, it's because it was in Spanish. Oh yes. Well, yeah, oh I see what you're saying. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_02 1:18:41

But that's a thing they do in in that I guess I've even when I'm watching subtitled anime, it doesn't look like their mouths are quite pronouncing the words. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:18:53

I don't to watch a lot of it. You mean I could never Oh you just animation in general? Yeah, my I Anyway. Respect for animators.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:08

Yes.

SPEAKER_06 1:19:09

Yes, cartoonists and the like.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:11

But you're yeah, I d I now that you say that it has some far east influence in the animation.

SPEAKER_06 1:19:16

So it was a du but a du it was Dutch, and I don't know all there's so many there's so many spinoffs and inspirations and all this stuff. But yeah, Dutch, and it was like the book sounds actually kind of cool. It was like a book. They used to sell it under folklore in the nonfiction section for some reason, apparently, according to the according to my research. And it was more of like a it was the kind of book that like me and Clark would like, where or Clark and I rather, uh, where like a lot of facts. You remember in the in the we watched the first episode of David of the World of David the No. Yes. And you know they're kind he's kind of going through and saying we are this, we're this tall. Yes. We're we weigh this much, which by the way, Lisa looks like she weighs a lot more than David. I don't know what they're doing there.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:01

Well, men and men do have a bit more dense magic.

SPEAKER_06 1:20:03

That's that's true. That's true. They don't tend to be a little full of things. We don't know how much magic weighs.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:08

That's true.

SPEAKER_06 1:20:09

Yeah. Um and then they're talking about like the different gnomes, like the Siberian one and the that whole book, that's like how that whole book was, apparently. It was almost written like an anatomical.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:20

Yeah, like an encyclopedia of gnomes. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:20:24

Which kind of sounds cool.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:26

Uh I'm not probably not gonna go out and read it, but I've I've had a few books like that in my possession in my life that always seem kind of cool, but then you're like, why it's good toilet. This isn't real toilet reading. So I'm not gonna read something that doesn't have a fascinating story about it, along with it. Like, don't tell me I gotcha. Only tell me the facts if it affects the story. Like I need to know how big their wings are if it makes a difference in the plot. Well that's how I feel.

SPEAKER_06 1:20:54

I I s I I I get it.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:58

But I also did not like reading books to our son every single day.

SPEAKER_06 1:21:01

Yeah, see, I'm I'm I I I see why you're saying all that. I don't necessarily agree with it. I love the Marvel encyclopedia that covers every single character, and all their all their traits, everything they could do, like all the stat lines. That is catnip for me. Yeah. So this, you know This is right up your alley. I like I f I'm a little bit more into Marvel than I am um gnomes.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:24

Gnomes, Dutch folklore, Dutch folklore, the stats on Dutch folklore slash Spanish slash Taiwanese slash Harvey Wide State. So but what but what network here in America broadcasts that show?

SPEAKER_06 1:21:34

Nick Jr.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:35

Oh, then that's why I never saw it.

SPEAKER_06 1:21:37

I was thinking of a I'm like, why didn't I? Because I this is a show I remember wanting to watch, and I'm thinking, why didn't I watch this more? Because I again I think kind of like Taxi. We talked about Taxi, the completely different show. But we talked about Taxi and how much on Nickelodeon. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:55

That you discovered.

SPEAKER_06 1:21:56

Well, different strokes too. Like I a lot all these shows I love because of the theme song. And I I I definitely watched some Different Strokes, but I and I watched some David the Gnome, but I was trying to think like why didn't I watch more David the Gnome? Why like I remember when G.I. Joe was on, I would make a point to get up and watch G.I. Joe in the morning.

SPEAKER_01 1:22:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:22:16

I don't I don't remember thinking, oh, David the Gnome is on at such a and I didn't know it was called David the Gnome, and I was I was sitting there thinking, this is kind of far out, but I was like, I was probably at the age where my memories were forming, but I wasn't literate. And also they don't say David the Gnome anywhere in the theme song. So it's just like it's the show that has this infectious melody that I really like. Which is by the way, basically basically the 50s chord progression, essentially.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:45

Which but it's drawn out, it's longer.

SPEAKER_06 1:22:47

Yeah, and it goes into the the bridge.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:22:52

It's it's a but it is the variation. I mean, I played the first when we when we did that theme song, the the chords are this exact same. I anyways. But I just thought like, have you ever tried to have a memory where you know you were you had words in front of you, but you didn't know what they were?

SPEAKER_02 1:23:09

Yes. I have that memory distinctly with Walt Disney.

SPEAKER_06 1:23:14

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:23:15

Because as I was learning my letters, I wondered why it ended with a P.

SPEAKER_06 1:23:20

Oh yeah. Okay. And then Bob Evans, I thought it starts with a uh a G.

SPEAKER_02 1:23:26

Yeah, yes. Uh and then Bob Evans. What a what a G I had Bob Evans in my head just as a picture, like the white script of Bob Evans. But then again, when I started learning to read and I was like looking at it actually as having letters, I thought it was B-O-L-E. Like at the Bob, the second B looks like an L and an E instead of a Bob. Sorry, a low. Yes. And I was like, why is everybody calling it Bob Evans if it's Bowl Evans?

SPEAKER_06 1:23:55

It's like a kernel colonel thing.

SPEAKER_02 1:23:57

Yes. So I definitely remember learning to read on those two particular fonts. I remember thinking of them as like pictures and then being able to read, actually see the word, see the letters.

SPEAKER_06 1:24:11

Gotcha. Yeah. So that was you, you're kind of in that that transition.

SPEAKER_02 1:24:14

Yes.

SPEAKER_06 1:24:15

Yeah. I uh I don't know. I'm fat back to the whole thing about me over-explaining things to kids. I'm just like absolutely fascinated by the way children think and what we take for granted and how we forget the kind of how you used to think. How you used to think, that whole curse of knowledge.

SPEAKER_02 1:24:36

How you have had to think because you couldn't read or whatever.

SPEAKER_06 1:24:39

So it's just like when you say something to a kid, you know, there's obvious reasons you don't have to explain everything, which I need to learn. However, like if you tell a kid that, you know, Santa Claus is coming to town, they're gonna build their entire life around that.

SPEAKER_02 1:24:53

Yeah, if you tell a kid that that underwear is gonna turn you into a transformer.

SPEAKER_06 1:24:57

Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_02 1:24:58

Please tell that we're just all over the place. Please. It's relevant.

SPEAKER_06 1:25:03

When I was a little kid, I was watching uh I was just you know, some sometime in the 80s. I was watching a there was a commercial that came on, kid had transformer underwear, and he he puts on the transformer underwear. Obviously, not a lot of this was shown. This wasn't a I don't think this was a Harvey Weinstein produced uh commercial. Well, Harvey Weinstein produced the gnomes, that's why I keep bringing it up. I think he's his idea was to put him in the bathtub in the beginning.

SPEAKER_02 1:25:30

Yeah, because it's a casual because it's casual nude.

SPEAKER_06 1:25:33

He's like, You want Lisa's like, not my beat it outfit. That's terrible. Okay, anyways, so uh kid was putting on underwear, his he turns into Optimus Prime. His mom's knocking on the door, and he's like, Oh, just a minute, mom.

SPEAKER_02 1:25:50

And then he takes his underwear off. So he turns back.

SPEAKER_06 1:25:54

I don't remember all that, but I just remember thinking, I want I want that. I want that. I want that. I was uh I want that little boy's underwear. I was a little boy, so it was okay. Um so I had my mom take me to Ross dressed for less. Or maybe she was going and I wanted to go too.

SPEAKER_02 1:26:14

She was probably like, uh yeah, let's go.

SPEAKER_06 1:26:16

So I'm like, I'm looking for Transformer Underwear. Don't find it. I find Mickey underwear, and I just remember doing like the math. I'm like, it's not really what I want, but it's still be cool to turn into Mickey. I put those freaking things on, don't turn into Mickey. That was like one of my freaking of the end for you. It was the beginning of the end for me. I really kind of was. It was like, okay. Like I became I slowly became very disenchanted with life after that point.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:26:44

Like for like for a very long time, I just got further and further and further into it. And now it's like, okay, I see there are, you know, I'm I'm on the upswing.

SPEAKER_02 1:26:54

But to your point where it was like you forget what it's like to be a kid where you can't read and all that stuff.

SPEAKER_06 1:26:58

Like, do you think that they were like kids will believe that they can turn into and they're gonna want this, but the parents aren't gonna remember what it's like to want that like and so they're gonna buy it for them and nobody's you know but every time like somebody this is I I'm not saying this is such a strange soapbox, but every time I hear because I'm you know, I work for the school, so every time I have to hear about vaping all the time. Watermelon flavors and blah blah blah blah. They're obviously advertising to kids. I just want to be like, let's start with the underwear commercials.

SPEAKER_00 1:27:28

Have you guys forgotten about that?

SPEAKER_06 1:27:30

Oh, yeah, pedophiles. No, I mean telling kids they're gonna turn into awesome godlike creatures if they put underwear on. It's such a and it sounds like I'm it sounds like I'm kidding. I am a little. But nothing. But I am actually getting myself sort of pissed.

SPEAKER_00 1:27:45

It's kind of worked up.

unknown 1:27:46

A little worked up.

SPEAKER_06 1:27:48

You can't win, basically. You just have to you just have to use it.

SPEAKER_02 1:27:52

Anyway, the theme song for David the Gnome is beautiful.

SPEAKER_06 1:27:54

That's what you get. Yeah. It is. I love it. It might be why I like 50s music. Then I'd listen to a ton of.

SPEAKER_02 1:28:00

50s music as a kid, but like I don't I know that you're correct. Like I can look at the music and say, yes, you are right, it does follow that. However, it feels way more cinematic, epic. Yeah. It's sweeping.

SPEAKER_06 1:28:14

This is what I mean, real quick. I'm just gonna say, so in the beginning, it's and I don't think they're not gonna sue us for this. Uh let me look. Can you look his name up while I while I do this? The guy who composed the song. He did both the Spanish version and the English version. Which by the way, the lyrics are so different. Please remind me to talk about that.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:31

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:28:32

So it's uh look around you.

SPEAKER_05 1:28:37

There are many things to see. Dun dun dun dun. Boom boom boom boom.

SPEAKER_06 1:28:45

Right?

SPEAKER_02 1:28:46

So that is But uh I like to be Claud Claudio Byrne Boyd. Is that sound right?

SPEAKER_06 1:28:53

SPEAKER_02 1:28:59

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:29:00

SPEAKER_06 1:29:07

Okay, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:29:08

Or do do do do cover, do, do, do cover.

SPEAKER_06 1:29:12

It's the same same chord progression the whole time as David the Gnome.

SPEAKER_05 1:29:16

But where it gets different is the Troll uh Trolls and Witches and Fairy. Yeah, and then it's B minor. Yes.

SPEAKER_06 1:29:25

But it's still is that diatonic? Is that still diatonic? Am I saying that right?

SPEAKER_02 1:29:29

Yep. Diatonic means It's the minor three of G.

SPEAKER_06 1:29:32

It's all in there, it's not a flat something or something.

SPEAKER_02 1:29:34

There's nothing in there that's barrowed or anything.

SPEAKER_06 1:29:36

But I think that's where it that's where it picks up. Then it has it's kind of driving.

SPEAKER_02 1:29:40

It's only 26 episodes.

SPEAKER_06 1:29:42

Yeah. It's got a very never-ending story kind of uh groove to it.

SPEAKER_02 1:29:45

Yes, it does. That's true.

SPEAKER_06 1:29:47

Um 26 episodes. You know the last episode? I'm gonna spoil the series. It was super heavy, like considered to be like one of like the ultimate, like it's on some crazy like Nick Jr. saddest story uh episode.

SPEAKER_02 1:30:00

And then they go up to their mountain and say their final goodbyes, and as they die, their bodies turn into intertwined apple trees. And then Casper, who's Casper?

SPEAKER_02 1:31:12

Oh, why don't he love me, manchills?

SPEAKER_06 1:31:15

Serious. Uh we need to move on. It fits right into the theme of our uh lyrics. Okay, real real quick, can I just uh the lyrics? Yeah. I the the the look up the Spanish version if you like the the American version. Just anybody, just in general, if you like the American version of the song. By the way, um are we doing covers and whatnot of this song? I have a character.

SPEAKER_02 1:31:36

There's one thing I couldn't come up with, but I have some other stuff, yes.

SPEAKER_06 1:31:41

The Spanish version is like this old I I didn't look up his name, I apologize. But it's it's Soyo Nomo. I saw that. I am feliz. But basically it's I'm a no I am a gnome, and here in the forest I'm happy. I live under a tree next to its root. I am a gnome. Pretty nice so far. And just by looking, everything you think, I can guess. I'm seven times stronger than you. I'm very fast. I'm always in a good mood. I'm the oldest of the place. I use herbs that I know. What I can cure.

SPEAKER_02 1:32:14

What does that mean? I use herbs.

unknown 1:32:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:32:18

In this song, he talks about being stronger, seven times stronger than them. Uh, three times.

SPEAKER_02 1:32:25

It's a little preachy.

SPEAKER_06 1:32:27

He's stupid, yeah. He's got a lot of things. I mean, the episode we watched is a little preachy. Oh, I love humans. Uh hey, welcome me every time you come into the forest, you screw it up, you freaking animals.

SPEAKER_02 1:32:36

Leave a bunch of trash, you pieces of trash. You are trash. It's basically how he talks. He's like, but we're so glad you're talking about it.

SPEAKER_06 1:32:43

But I love everyone as he's naked. Welcome to my bathtub.

SPEAKER_02 1:32:48

Except for the poor trolls. Or the is that what they are?

SPEAKER_06 1:32:52

The trolls. Yeah. Yeah, the stupid trolls. They're one of the dumbest creatures ever made. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:32:57

Whoa, buddy. Thought you loved everyone.

SPEAKER_06 1:32:59

This surgery where we both honestly thought he might go up in his butt.

SPEAKER_00 1:33:04

He took all his clothes off. He took his clothes off. For no reason.

SPEAKER_06 1:33:08

I guess he didn't want to get blood on it, but there wasn't any blood. No. We watched the first episode for the.

SPEAKER_02 1:33:13

He does two surgeries. So anyway.

SPEAKER_06 1:33:15

Do you so do let's talk about uh real quick on categories.

SPEAKER_02 1:33:19

Well, I I only have one Oh for the whole thing. I did it as a c as a I did some individuals. Okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:33:26

I I did so for my B side to this song. I in fact I almost I thought of this later. I thought this would actually have been a better mashup, but I did uh Octopus's Garden.

SPEAKER_02 1:33:38

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:33:39

Because it's the same chord progression for well, you know, for the verses and I like TV. And it's got it's got that fun whimsy. Very much. I I this is a confession. The B side's corner.

SPEAKER_02 1:33:50

I didn't get a B side. That's what I lacked.

SPEAKER_06 1:33:52

It's okay. Confession's Corner, I think Octopus's Garden might be, if not my favorite Beatles song, top five.

SPEAKER_02 1:33:59

Wow.

SPEAKER_06 1:34:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:34:01

You should probably blot that out. Blot that out.

SPEAKER_06 1:34:05

It's gonna make a lot of people mad. The audience won't like it. Um, my dream cover, I want to hear the moody blues do it.

SPEAKER_01 1:34:12

Oh, wow.

SPEAKER_06 1:34:12

Like Moody Blues from like the uh uh Dennis Dennis and he won't be sing once upon a time. Like their later stuff or vision, you know. I think they would I would love to listen to Moody Blues cover this. Okay. I want to hear them do like a 15-minute version of it with like talking like they do in um Tuesday afternoon. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:34:36

Tuesday.

SPEAKER_06 1:34:37

Oh, I also just thought El Nomo. I I was reminded of um Oh, I heard there's a metal cover of this I've listened to called from a c a band called Armory.

SPEAKER_02 1:34:46

Is that what you were listening to the other day? To me that sounded like a video game sound.

SPEAKER_06 1:34:49

Well, yeah, but it was it was it was pretty metal. I mean they had like it was like it'd be like old, like Sabbath kind of metal. Yeah, but maybe like more like Iron Maiden, like just kind of very a lot of quality instrumentation, and I don't want to make it sound like it was a masterpiece, but it was pretty good. And I listened to a guy named Earl Baton do it uh on acoustic, and it was it was charming. He did a good job. He'll he'll get the nobody award.

SPEAKER_04 1:35:15

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:35:15

Yeah. Actually, our armor soundtrack. No, well, no, I just thought we I wouldn't do a soundtrack because this is it is a soundtrack. This is the soundtrack. But uh I was thinking El Nomo reminded me of El Nino, Chris Farley. That uh the Nino.

SPEAKER_05 1:35:32

For those who don't ob the wisp unnomo is Spanish for The Nomo.

SPEAKER_06 1:35:39

The Nomo.

SPEAKER_01 1:35:42

All right, move on. Different strokes.

SPEAKER_06 1:35:44

Different strokes, uh, written by our boy Alan Thick Canadian songwriting hall of famer. Do you know that?

SPEAKER_02 1:35:52

I did not know any of that stuff. I knew it was a songwriting.

SPEAKER_06 1:35:56

He wrote a lot of stuff, a lot of compositions. He wrote the original Wheel of Fortune.

SPEAKER_02 1:36:00

Really?

SPEAKER_06 1:36:01

Which is not the down don-do-do-do-do. It's even before that. It was called like Wheels.

SPEAKER_02 1:36:09

Um why'd the heck they change it?

SPEAKER_06 1:36:12

It's just people change, man. Shh. You know? Um, I don't remember the name of it.

SPEAKER_02 1:36:17

We tried to change, but so far we haven't been able to.

SPEAKER_06 1:36:20

He did uh would try to change what?

SPEAKER_03 1:36:23

How long this podcast is gonna be.

SPEAKER_06 1:36:25

Don't talk about it. Every time you say it, it makes me uh I I'm stressed that I'm hurting you, and then I uh I lose my I lose my my charm.

SPEAKER_02 1:36:34

So keep your pain to yourself so that I can continue to do what I want. Is that what you meant?

SPEAKER_06 1:36:39

That's all I'm asking. That's all I'm asking for. I don't want to do anything anymore.

SPEAKER_04 1:36:46

That's all I'm asking for.

SPEAKER_06 1:36:51

Uh so yeah, he did uh he did the Wizard of Oz, odds, rather, not The Wizard of Oz. The Joker's Wild, he was big in game shows. He hosted game shows, he also wrote for game shows.

SPEAKER_02 1:37:13

What that's a heck of a last name.

SPEAKER_06 1:37:15

Yeah, yes, it is. My goodness, yes, it is. Uh yeah, Big Wheels was kind of like a jazzy. It's like it's worth checking out. It was the original Wheel of Fortune from uh 75 to 83. And then Hello Larry, he did that, which is kind of a spinoff of I think Different Strokes. Maybe Different Strokes. Uh Hello Larry, the the music is great. The it's it's not, I don't think the show did very well. Um I watched the theme song though, I kind of liked it. But he did Facts of Life as well. You remember that show?

SPEAKER_02 1:37:49

Uh yeah, but I've never seen it.

SPEAKER_06 1:37:50

That was a spinoff of Different Strokes. Mrs. Garrett, who's like the housekeeper in Where They Live with um with uh Conrad Bain. What the heck is Mr. Drummond. Um, anyways, that he his wife saying that, Gloria Loring.

SPEAKER_02 1:38:11

So were those like adopted kids?

SPEAKER_06 1:38:14

SPEAKER_02 1:38:15

On different strokes.

SPEAKER_06 1:38:16

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 1:38:17

So the What's the premise of the show?

SPEAKER_06 1:38:22

The premise of the show is that uh Mr. Drummond is a wealthy businessman.

SPEAKER_02 1:38:27

Uh-huh. Like Daddy Warbox.

SPEAKER_06 1:38:30

Kinda. He's like a president of some.

SPEAKER_02 1:38:32

He's like, give me a child for Christmas.

SPEAKER_06 1:38:36

His m I think it's his housekeeper dies, so her boys are left alone. They live in Harlem.

SPEAKER_02 1:38:43

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:38:44

And he adopts them.

SPEAKER_02 1:38:46

SPEAKER_06 1:38:51

And and it's uh P-L-A-Y-D-A-L. T-L-A-T-O.

SPEAKER_02 1:38:56

Oh.

SPEAKER_06 1:38:56

Like uh She's not the She had a very she had a true tough, she had a tough go. She's dead. She can come to our conversation.

SPEAKER_02 1:39:05

She's got a heck of a she's got a heartbreaking story. Um yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:39:24

She uh Child fame is in more happy.

SPEAKER_06 1:39:28

She's a she's a and Todd Bridges didn't either, although he's I think I think he's okay now, but he got hooked on like cracking uppers and downers and all that stuff.

SPEAKER_02 1:39:37

Judy Garland style.

SPEAKER_06 1:39:39

Yeah, look into both both of their stories are don't you know what?

SPEAKER_02 1:39:43

How about in addition to looking into that, don't put your child in film.

SPEAKER_06 1:39:49

Yeah, or at least teach him that there's something more to life after the show gets cancelled. Because I think both of them just fell off the deep end. Um Gary Coleman had a bit of a he had a rough run too. He the fame got to his head. He had uh what, nephritis? That that kidney kidney condition that caused him to.

SPEAKER_02 1:40:05

Didn't he also have kind of a uh a comeback, but it wasn't a great one with the VH1 stuff?

SPEAKER_06 1:40:10

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he was um he was terrible on the set to people. He had a ter horrible reputation. He was a huge.

SPEAKER_02 1:40:16

As a child?

SPEAKER_06 1:40:18

Yeah, well, he was I think he was like 16 or something like that.

SPEAKER_02 1:40:21

So a 16-year-old's a child.

SPEAKER_06 1:40:22

No, but when the show started. Like he looked like he was like, Right. That was like his deal. He was um Yeah, Manuel Lewis or what what if what what would you say between. Well, I never you never really watched it. No, I can't weigh in on it. So you couldn't, you wouldn't, you can't stack him on the case. Was Alan Thick on the fish on the fly? Uh Alan Thick was not on this show.

SPEAKER_02 1:40:43

Is he on step by step?

SPEAKER_06 1:40:44

No. That was Alan's Growing Pains? Uh Growing Pains, yeah. Yeah, okay. I got there. He was Jason Seaver.

SPEAKER_02 1:40:51

Yes.

SPEAKER_06 1:40:52

With uh Leonardo DiCaprio. Um but anyways, I love this theme song. It's one of my favorite theme songs ever. I listened to Boys to Men cover it.

SPEAKER_02 1:41:05

Oh my goodness. Now, did they did they uh what's that word? Syncopate it up. Um it was they keep it straight.

SPEAKER_06 1:41:15

It was pretty straight. They had uh they had uh singers in the back. It was only two of them. Ah I don't know which ones, I'm not a big boy to men guy, but it was great.

SPEAKER_02 1:41:23

One of them was named Wanya.

SPEAKER_06 1:41:25

It was really good. It might have been Wayne. I don't actually know if that's a Wayne.

SPEAKER_02 1:41:29

It was W-A-N-Y-E.

SPEAKER_06 1:41:32

W-A-N-Y-E. Yeah, I feel like honestly, Wanya might have been there. Yeah. There was a dude, uh, a dude named Jack Black.

SPEAKER_02 1:41:42

I saw not the Jack Black though, right?

SPEAKER_06 1:41:44

Yeah, what is the Jack Black? Oh he was a he did a cover of it, but it was just like an Instagram kind of thing. It wasn't that I mean, it was it wasn't that great.

SPEAKER_02 1:41:53

Dude, I could listen to Jack Black do anything.

SPEAKER_06 1:41:55

I mean, if you're a Jack Black fan of Different Strokes fan, maybe it's worth watching. But he's just singing in a cappella and just kind of being a goofball. I the nobody award, I'm gonna go to. There's a ton of people covering this song, just a ton of amateurs. The nobody award who I give to people who with less than 50,000 subscribers, I will give that to Michelle Zela Music.

SPEAKER_02 1:42:19

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:42:20

She's uh acoustic guitar, she's got a great voice. She really uh she really whips the meals behind.

SPEAKER_02 1:42:27

Does she? With a belt?

SPEAKER_06 1:42:28

With a belt.

SPEAKER_02 1:42:29

Wow.

SPEAKER_06 1:42:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:42:30

Good for you, Michelle.

SPEAKER_06 1:42:31

Yeah, so she's she's worth checking out. Check her out.

SPEAKER_02 1:42:33

All right.

SPEAKER_06 1:42:34

Um cover? Who do I want to see cover the song?

SPEAKER_02 1:42:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:42:39

I had one. I don't remember what it was. I remember thinking, that's great. I won't forget it. I know better. You did forget it. I did. But I'm I'm I'm glad with the one I picked. I'm gonna go with the Almond Brothers.

SPEAKER_01 1:42:50

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_06 1:42:51

I think the Almond Brothers would do a sick cover of this song. Um, it's got it has so much potential. By the way, this is one of those tunes that was all it was on long enough that they had three different versions of it. And like the more and more as if as you watch all three versions, if you sit there and watch all three of them back to back to back, like I did, you see Alan Thick becomes more pronounced. Like he's it's his part is just really really loud, and then you gotta and then you got a lot more electric guitar, too. I think I still like the original better.

SPEAKER_02 1:43:24

So you're saying that they episode.

SPEAKER_06 1:43:26

I like the gospel kind of groove of it. Yeah. The the last one's pretty good too.

SPEAKER_02 1:43:30

And then in the middle, but they kind of become more and more so they were re-recording, we're just using the original. I guess. That's interesting. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:43:39

That's kind of a it was kind of a common thing back then. Because I remember seeing the same thing with uh perfect strangers.

SPEAKER_02 1:43:44

We need to redo this, guys, for season five.

SPEAKER_06 1:43:46

Well, because they do they redo the credits and everything too. Full House did it too. Although that might have just been an edit.

SPEAKER_02 1:43:52

Doobie-doo-pa.

SPEAKER_06 1:43:54

I think they might have yeah, whatever.

SPEAKER_02 1:43:56

Um B-side?

SPEAKER_06 1:43:58

B side. I'm gonna go with Stroking. Clarence Carter.

SPEAKER_02 1:44:01

Yeah, how could you not?

SPEAKER_06 1:44:02

I mean, I gotta have first of all, I do love Clarence Carter and uh I love absurdity.

SPEAKER_02 1:44:08

Yep.

SPEAKER_06 1:44:09

And we'll play on the theme of strokes. Did you get a soundtrack or did you just quit on the I shared a soundtrack with you, but I don't think it's Oh, right.

SPEAKER_02 1:44:16

Yeah, probably not. So I did mine as a It's a compilation. Compilation. Minus. Oh. I did mine as the two songs together.

SPEAKER_06 1:44:26

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:44:27

So I only had uh I so I had one only one answer for both songs as if they were together. And I did, as you were talking, you reminded me of something, and I did get to come up with a B side. But my cover, I think John Prime could do of different strokes? Of the two songs together.

SPEAKER_06 1:44:43

Oh, like we did, of course. Like you just said, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:44:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:44:46

Okay, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:44:47

Yeah, because he could really do the um The David the No, David No.

SPEAKER_06 1:44:51

Oh yeah. And I think pure prime.

SPEAKER_02 1:44:53

Yes. Prime, prime prime.

SPEAKER_06 1:44:55

Prime time.

SPEAKER_02 1:44:56

Uh and I think he could do the different strokes.

SPEAKER_06 1:45:00

Yeah, I would like to listen to a little singer-songwriter gritty take on that.

SPEAKER_02 1:45:04

And then I did actually as you were sitting here, I was thinking the first couple, like the first three tracks of Sergeant Pepper bleed into one another. But they're not a lot they're not the same. Like each song is pretty standalone. And I feel like the B side of these two songs together could be the first three tracks of Sergeant Pepper together.

SPEAKER_06 1:45:27

Yeah, yeah. Uh like, yeah, there's a lot of concept albums like that. But uh I was listening to uh I love Sergeant Pepper.

SPEAKER_02 1:45:33

I think it's Dark Side. I think that's my favorite album. David Beatles album.

SPEAKER_06 1:45:37

Sergeant Pepper. Yeah. That's a tough call.

SPEAKER_02 1:45:40

It's mine.

SPEAKER_06 1:45:41

Yeah, I think it's great.

SPEAKER_02 1:45:42

I might you said Octopus's Gardner is a tough one.

SPEAKER_06 1:45:44

That's on Abbey Road, by the way, and that might also be my favorite album.

SPEAKER_02 1:45:48

So uh then I do have a soundtrack.

SPEAKER_06 1:45:51

Oh, yeah, go.

SPEAKER_02 1:45:52

For both of those together. For both of those together. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:45:54

Yes. What what is it?

SPEAKER_02 1:45:55

I think. Do you remember the more recent later um Barbie show that was like funny and ridiculous?

SPEAKER_06 1:46:05

You're not talking about the movie, right?

SPEAKER_02 1:46:07

Not the stupid fairy topia crap, but like Barbie's Dream House, Life in the Dream House.

SPEAKER_06 1:46:12

No.

SPEAKER_02 1:46:12

You never watched any of those things?

SPEAKER_06 1:46:13

I don't think so.

SPEAKER_02 1:46:14

Oh, they're like Barbie, but they're like making fun of it's almost like they're making fun of Barbie.

SPEAKER_06 1:46:20

Like kids can watch it, but parents are like we're not talking about Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie. We're talking about the bigger. No, no, no.

SPEAKER_02 1:46:25

Like there's it's like computer animated, I think it's called Barbie Life in the Dreamhouse. Life in the Dream House or something like that.

SPEAKER_06 1:46:29

That sounds kind of familiar.

SPEAKER_02 1:46:31

And they're kind of like ridiculous. Like the silly stuff happens, like her dream house talks, and it like traps her inside in one of the episodes, like in the closet, and like Ken is super stupid. He's always doing saying dumb stuff.

SPEAKER_04 1:46:45

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:46:45

But it's like not quite enough to where kids are like confused.

SPEAKER_00 1:46:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:46:50

And I just think that could I could just I could make that work. Barbie life in the dream house. Nice. My final answer.

SPEAKER_06 1:46:57

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:46:58

So good. Alright.

SPEAKER_06 1:47:00

Not bad.

SPEAKER_02 1:47:01

You hungry?

SPEAKER_06 1:47:03

I'm not as hungry. I drank a shake right before uh right before we recorded. So I'm uh I'm okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:47:09

I'm hungry.

SPEAKER_06 1:47:10

Are you? You wanna you wanna get on with the day?

SPEAKER_02 1:47:12

SPEAKER_06 1:47:13

I have uh I have some cardboard to uh to burn.

SPEAKER_02 1:47:16

It's only 11 30 4.

SPEAKER_06 1:47:18

Well, look at that. I'm sure I'm not gonna look at my notes again, but I'm sure there's a million other things I wanted to say, but you know what? This is perfect to perfect.
