We Watched MST3K Mitchell with All the Commercials | Ep 27

We put Mystery Science Theater 3000 under a microscope by watching Mitchell and letting the riffs and a full block of mid-90s VHS commercials reshape the whole experience. Then we switch gears to The Kinks’ Waterloo Sunset, from the riff and harmony to the lyrics, the covers, and the one performance that finally proved the song can be messed up. 
• Debating theme songs that explain the premise 
• People Under The Stairs listening notes and the interlude problem 
• Quick reactions to Oppenheimer and the “what have I done” theme 
• A marriage license trip derailed by a baton at courthouse security 
• Why MST3K jokes hit and why Mitchell is perfect fodder 
• The 90s Comedy Central commercial block as pure nostalgia 
• Waterloo Sunset musical details, “chilly chilly,” and chord moves 
• The lyric interpretation split between sweet and unsettling 
• Cover versions we recommend plus ones we do not 
• Our dream cover picks, B-side picks, and soundtrack vibes

SPEAKER_01 0:00

On this episode of The Audience Won't Like It, uh Albert Einstein's in it? The real? Uh yeah, the real one. That's basically what the movie was about.

SPEAKER_03 0:10

Other than they just had like a wild weekend with Albert Einstein's dead body. Is that what it was about? Gotcha.

SPEAKER_01 0:17

Yeah. He's not a bad-looking dude.

SPEAKER_03 0:19

Alright. You big uh big Jodon guy girl.

SPEAKER_01 0:24

Jodon gal? Leslie is president, president of the uh Jodon gals. Walker Tex, they made it look like it's Walker Texas Ranger in space. Special thanks to Miss Miller. Never let me settle for a seat. As soon as I heard that, it was just like my uh 14-year-old self just zapped back into my butt.

SPEAKER_03 0:48

And you were like, is Waterloo a place?

SPEAKER_01 0:50

Yes. Well, Waterloo's a place. But what he's actually seen. It's a it's up until that point, I was like, I don't think you can screw up Waterloo Sunset because it's just that good of a song. Like as long as you can tell what it is, it's gonna hit. And then Ethan Hawk had to show up and freaking ruin things for me. Hey, how about uh how about a little theme song?

SPEAKER_03 1:12

Oh, are we going?

SPEAKER_01 1:13

Two married friends in a basement room.

SPEAKER_01 1:33

Um standing in line, standing in line with two microphones. They got in a car crash. She died in his arms. He kissed her lips cause she was still warm. It was the audience won't like it.

SPEAKER_00 2:00

No not.

SPEAKER_01 2:06

I married you for your warmth.

SPEAKER_03 2:07

Aw, that can't possibly be true. I'm the opposite of warm.

SPEAKER_01 2:11

That's not true. You're uh you well, you stay warm. Even if you're dead.

SPEAKER_03 2:16

That's true. I do stay warm post-death.

SPEAKER_01 2:18

It is one of my That is why I love you. You promised me that anyway. I we've yet to test it.

SPEAKER_03 2:23

It's an attribute I have. I'm worried about your microphone cord.

SPEAKER_01 2:26

What what what worries you the most?

SPEAKER_03 2:28

Uh that it's gonna get bumped and touched.

SPEAKER_01 2:30

You think so? Yeah. Bumped and touched? Mm-hmm. That's the new name of the podcast.

SPEAKER_03 2:34

Pap Daddy. It's Pop Daddy's number one single, bumped and stuff.

SPEAKER_01 2:38

Hang on, uh go ahead and uh vamp.

SPEAKER_03 2:41

All right, well, welcome to the show. My name's Leslie Shoecraft. This is my husband Rob Shoecraft.

SPEAKER_00 2:46

Hi.

SPEAKER_03 2:47

And he's my married news podcasting teammate. And he wrote that beautiful song where he changed some words. Sounded like he thought he would.

SPEAKER_01 2:56

We're just gonna keep it like that. Okay. Yeah, go ahead.

SPEAKER_03 2:57

It sounded like he you had a plan to change the words. Wait, wait, wait, wait. But then you didn't actually flesh out the plan.

SPEAKER_01 3:04

I didn't practice. Uh-huh. Right. Yeah. And uh I should have. I thought right before I got on, I'm like, you know what? We're gonna we're trying to tighten up what the show's about.

SPEAKER_04 3:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 3:14

And we we've gotten it down. I I won I want to, I've we've been we've been talking about theme songs a lot lately.

SPEAKER_03 3:20

We have, and I have some things to say.

SPEAKER_01 3:22

And what we're gonna talk about today with with Mystery Science Theater 3000. I like theme songs that explain what the show's about.

SPEAKER_03 3:29

So you don't table it.

SPEAKER_01 3:31

Well, can I talk about ours for a second? So I want to be able to tell people that this is well hey, what's your podcast about? It's a it's about standing in line for a concert.

SPEAKER_03 3:41

It is.

SPEAKER_01 3:42

It's a line simulation podcast.

SPEAKER_03 3:45

Which might be hands down one of the most exciting explanations of a podcast I've ever heard. Um but yeah, that's what we do. We uh we stand in line, we simulate standing in line, because we're actually both sitting right now.

SPEAKER_04 3:56

Isn't that odd?

SPEAKER_03 3:57

It is odd because we're both standard by nature.

SPEAKER_01 4:00

You're more of a standard than me, but we do you think someday like when we get a big bigger budget we can have like one like a velvet one of those big velvet rope girthy kind of yeah, so people don't cross over into where we are producing. Like our dog, all these or all these ladybugs. But we have a velvet rope coming over.

SPEAKER_03 4:18

Well, the ladybugs know not to cross the velvet rope.

SPEAKER_01 4:20

They never seem to know anything I want them to do.

SPEAKER_03 4:23

No, which is to leave.

SPEAKER_01 4:24

Which is to die.

SPEAKER_03 4:26

Do you hear me, ladybug?

SPEAKER_01 4:28

So that's a little inside joke if you're never family. You get that.

SPEAKER_03 4:34

Um Yeah, so what we do here is we wait in line for a concert. And we're actually we're actually just waiting for the doors to open. We have seats. But since the doors aren't open yet, we're just like kind of milling about the lobby, you know, just kind of talking to some people here and there, and we're small talking and and uh, you know, we usually hit a main topic. Today we are gonna be talking a little bit about mystery science theater, but with some added bonuses.

SPEAKER_01 4:58

Mystery sci yeah. Oh, we we're we're not gonna tell them what it is.

SPEAKER_03 5:02

We're just gonna I'm I'm probably gonna put it in the intro because uh I've been working on I wasn't saying like and don't tell them what it is, but like it's not just mystery science theater, you guys. There's extra stuff about it.

SPEAKER_01 5:14

But I can't tell them, I can't tell you what it is yet.

SPEAKER_03 5:16

SPEAKER_01 10:51

Like, okay, so people under the stairs, people under the stairs, the group, not the movie, which sorry Vic Ving Rheims, which we both saw for some reason.

SPEAKER_03 11:00

Horror movie. Yeah. Heavy air quotes on the horror movie.

SPEAKER_01 11:03

And by the way, it has nothing they say that it has nothing to do with the movie whatsoever.

SPEAKER_03 11:08

They say.

SPEAKER_01 11:08

Yeah, Thess one and double K. Rest in peace, double K.

SPEAKER_03 11:11

Oh, having a double K.

SPEAKER_01 11:13

He died. I don't I don't know exactly how, but he wasn't Death comes for us all. It wasn't old enough for for it to not be tragic, I would say.

SPEAKER_03 11:23

Sorry, KK.

SPEAKER_01 11:24

So they both, yeah, I don't I'm not a people under the stairs expert. I just love everything I've ever listened to. I've been listening to him for about oh when did I work in Columbus ICC? Was it 2007?

SPEAKER_03 11:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 11:39

Let's just say I was I was talking I was I was in fixing somebody's computer. Yeah, something like that.

SPEAKER_03 11:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 11:45

I was fixing somebody's computer. I think his name was Chris. Shout out to Chris.

SPEAKER_03 11:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 11:49

And he said, uh, hey Rob, you like you like people under the stairs? Well, I said, the movie? And he said no. He said, here, he played, he did actually didn't play anything off this album. He played a song called Gamin' on you. Which by anybody else would have been the cheesiest, stupidest thing. But they made it so cool. And you could tell everything they do is like in anybody else's hands would be cheesy. But they make it just fun because they're having it. And it's just like Gamin' on you, what it is is again not on this album, but check it out. I should have made you listen to it. Um, I should have asked you to listen to it. But it's like all these retro uh video game beats, retro video game like MIDI music with their beats.

SPEAKER_03 12:39

You know how Rob loves MIDI if you've been with us for a while.

SPEAKER_01 12:42

I do. And and that, but they're rap, and they're rapping about going to the arcade, and they're just they make so many video game references, but they're so well done.

SPEAKER_03 12:51

And this whole thing doesn't sound cheesy to me, actually.

SPEAKER_01 12:54

Well, you you know, you see a lot of stuff, here's a lot of stuff like that, and it's like you want to classify it in like parody, parody, like, or this this is just dumb, or this is funny and clever, but I'm not gonna seriously listen to it. They have somehow, through all their music, have bridged silly and funny and clever with stuff you just really want to you just really enjoy it. I think it's really accessible, but what did you think?

SPEAKER_03 13:19

Well, there were some tracks I hated and skipped.

SPEAKER_01 13:22

Okay, why'd you hate them?

SPEAKER_03 13:23

Uh I I don't like any. This is a total of like a lot of rap albums. I hate that filler stuff.

SPEAKER_01 13:28

Oh, the interludes and stuff. Yeah. Yeah. I well, honestly, I usually skip them too.

SPEAKER_03 13:32

But I'll tell you, do you want to guess which one is my favorite song?

SPEAKER_01 13:35

Except for like the the ones off like doggy style.

SPEAKER_03 13:38

Like which one do you think is my favorite song? I want to be a hus.

SPEAKER_01 13:42

I'm gonna say your favorite song is not outrage. That's one of mine. It's probably not the dig.

SPEAKER_03 13:51

I did like the dig.

SPEAKER_01 13:52

I love the dig. I love everything.

SPEAKER_03 13:54

But the dig is almost like The Dig, I feel like we did we talk about that song a while ago when you were like literally talking about looking for albums.

SPEAKER_01 14:00

Cess one is a big thing. Right, that's what that's about. Yes, yeah. They they they spent they spent, I think they said they spent like$2,000 at like yard sales and stuff just buying records.

SPEAKER_03 14:09

Listening to them?

SPEAKER_01 14:10

And listening to them to find beats. Like that this has so many I want to get to your song in a in a second. It's not Montego Slay by any chance, is it? No. So Montego Slay, for instance, it's got like 20 Japanese, not Japanese, Jamaican like jazz and funk obscure tracks on it, but it's all sampled and stitched together, and it's it's so funky, man. Like everything they do is I I love samples well done. Like, have you ever listened to Paul's boutique of Beastie Boys? I think you probably have used in Okay.

SPEAKER_03 14:40

I don't know what things are called.

SPEAKER_01 14:41

Just that's tons and tons and tons of samples. Um, anyways, they do that really, really, really well. That's kind of their thing. That's what the dig's about. But your favorite song? Acid raindrops? Nope. LA song.

SPEAKER_03 14:53

Nope.

SPEAKER_01 14:55

Um we just say it?

SPEAKER_03 14:59

Yeah. Hang loose.

SPEAKER_01 15:00

Oh my gosh. Can I tell you something?

SPEAKER_03 15:03

Did you think that would be it?

SPEAKER_01 15:04

No. Uh that's one of my least favorite songs.

SPEAKER_03 15:08

Oh, wow. Here's why. Breaking up.

SPEAKER_01 15:10

Here's why. I love the song. I think it's awesome.

SPEAKER_03 15:13

You know how like you know It was the only one that caught my attention more than once when I listened all the way through the album a few times.

SPEAKER_01 15:19

Here's what I'm gonna say. Rick Steves. I really want to listen to Rick Steves. He has great content. He's a he's by the way, he's a travel.

SPEAKER_03 15:27

He's a travelsman.

SPEAKER_01 15:28

A travel, what would you call him? A T a personality who takes deep dives on the city.

SPEAKER_03 15:32

He's a professional touring tourism travel.

SPEAKER_01 15:36

Trovessional. The quality of his voice, it gets.

SPEAKER_03 15:41

Did they do that on Pang Loose?

SPEAKER_01 15:42

So I want to watch it, but I can't. Hang Loose has a very similar kind of thing. There's this dude, every three seconds goes, Oh, and I just after twenty times, I got, I can't, I can't do it anymore. And I want to listen to the rest of the s. I have heard the song a couple of times. I will say super great song.

SPEAKER_03 15:59

I was listening to this album when I was cleaning the deep cleaning the children's bathroom the other day, because that's what cool podcast hosts do. Um and I did keep thinking that someone was trying to get my attention, and I realized it was that song.

SPEAKER_01 16:13

Yeah. But it's such a distraction.

SPEAKER_03 16:20

It to me it's the most funky fun. It's a great funky, but like it's got a super old school feel.

SPEAKER_01 16:26

It's lean, but it's just very funky. That's other music you could dance to it. You could play it, it's got like just the right amount of F-words, would you say?

SPEAKER_03 16:33

I had there's a few I had to skip that just a little too many answers. A little too much?

SPEAKER_01 16:37

Yeah. Okay. But generally, like you've heard, like I've played a lot of Scarface, you know. Right, I've heard a lot I don't like.

SPEAKER_03 16:45

This didn't quite hit me that way.

SPEAKER_01 16:47

Gotcha.

SPEAKER_03 16:47

But I liked it, it was great.

SPEAKER_01 16:49

Nice. So your favorite song was Hang Loose. Um, cool. Do you want to move on? We should probably should keep real quick.

SPEAKER_03 16:56

Are they still doing stuff? No, because Double K is.

SPEAKER_01 16:59

Oh, right, because the one that they um they have they put out like 12 albums. I this is the one I've by far listened to the most. Um I've listened to just a handful of like, you know, top 30 playlists and stuff that like Pandora would play.

SPEAKER_03 17:12

Have you ever tried syncing this album up with the horror movie People Under the Stairs?

SPEAKER_01 17:19

Oh, the third.

SPEAKER_03 17:22

I feel like we're gonna have to try that.

SPEAKER_01 17:23

I'm gonna guess that's a new line cinema movie. I'm just just just guessing. On the on the as soon as this the the the film snaps on, that's when you want to play play.

SPEAKER_04 17:35

I think that's right.

SPEAKER_01 17:36

I have to move the sorry. Uh for the very few out there who don't catch that reference. That would be a pink floor dark side of the moon.

SPEAKER_03 17:46

If you don't know that, get out of here. You're not for us.

SPEAKER_01 17:48

Um have you actually done that?

SPEAKER_03 17:50

No. Have you? Yeah. Did you do it in collage?

SPEAKER_01 17:52

Uh no, uh well, yeah, but also high school. It is pretty cool. It is pretty cool, and they actually uh referenced Lunatic on the Grass from Brain Damage. It's an on the on that song, and Mystery Science Theater, which we watched last night.

Oppenheimer Reactions And Big Consequences

SPEAKER_03 18:08

Alright, let's go on.

SPEAKER_01 18:12

I'm not gonna go into a ton of details. Um did you talked a little bit about it last night? I did. I I very much enjoyed it. It's like every other Christopher Nolan movie for me, really, really exceptionally solid, but I'm always kind of wondering. I don't why don't I see it the same way that everybody else is. Why don't I I don't see the 13 Oscar nominations? I think it's a beautifully well-made movie. The acting is phenomenal. I called him uh Cillian Murphy last week. I'm just Killian, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 18:46

Um I didn't correct you last week because I didn't catch it. That's why. Because Leslie didn't catch it corner.

SPEAKER_01 18:56

You I I look the whole reason that I'm here to need you here is to need me, is to catch me.

SPEAKER_03 19:01

That's right. So sorry, Killian. Unsubscribe.

SPEAKER_01 19:06

I I mentioned Josh Hardin, I think was at his finest. This is probably a good one.

SPEAKER_03 19:10

Yeah, we did talk about that last week.

SPEAKER_01 19:12

Um Robert Downey Jr.'s in it. He's a twerp.

SPEAKER_03 19:15

Is he Iron Man?

SPEAKER_01 19:16

Uh yeah, he plays Iron Man. It's uh yeah, Iron Man. He's Iron Man. Um multiples. Yeah. Uh Albert Einstein's in it.

SPEAKER_03 19:24

The real?

SPEAKER_01 19:25

Uh yeah, the real one. They it's kind of similar to what we do at our concert.

SPEAKER_03 19:30

Oh, is that where they picked him up from?

SPEAKER_01 19:32

Yeah. They had him concert rehearsal. They did like a week in a it was uh weekend and Albi Albert's. And old old uh well, old Cillian in this case. Yeah, yeah. If you know how I'm spelling it, um had a one arm and then and then of course Josh Hartnett was on Hartnett. That's basically what the movie was about.

SPEAKER_03 19:56

Um other than that They just had like a wild weekend with Albert Einstein's dead body. Is that what it was about? Gotcha.

SPEAKER_01 20:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 20:03

Oh, I don't know why you thought I wouldn't like that.

SPEAKER_01 20:05

Yeah, you know, on second thought, we really should have watched it together.

SPEAKER_03 20:07

We should have.

SPEAKER_01 20:09

But there were some other stuff, some some themes of like um, you know, great minds, creating great men, creating great things, and with awful outcomes and giving them to, you know, machines that just want whatever. And uh to put the the way Sean Fennessey put it, I think, uh, on The Big Picture. He's a it's a podcast I like a lot. They if you really want to hear somebody talk about Oppenheimer, listen to him and Amanda Dobbins and Chris Ryan talk about it on The Big Picture. Just it's from a couple of years ago. But um he he he makes a connection that Christopher Nolan made it from Oppenheimer's perspective, so he put this new nuclear bomb, basically led the the Los Alamos project to build the nuclear bomb, which you know the rest went. And it's just like what did I do? Kind of there's a lot of that, right? And there's a lot more to the movie than though, but um he uh Sean Fantasy compared it to Christopher Nolan putting basically creating the new blueprint for what comic book movies are in in Batman with the Christian Bale series, yeah. And then when Marvel took it over, he's just like, What what have I done? Yeah, so I thought it was really clever. But it's honestly very much what what at least at least a lot of the movies are about. I do recommend it if you like Christopher Nolan, absolutely. If you don't like war movies or biopics of any kind, not for you. I just don't. I it has a lot of appeal that I think you would like. I I mentioned a lot at least in the first part. I d I don't think you like the movie very much. Um I I did enjoy it though. I I did enjoy it all the way through. It's not that I'm knocking it, I just it's not in my.

SPEAKER_03 22:00

I'd love to look into that. I don't I shouldn't even bring up because I don't have any information. But I I do think there's a lot of conspiracy around award awards nominations and stuff.

SPEAKER_01 22:12

Yes. I don't really pay much attention to him, but you care.

SPEAKER_03 22:16

I do not care about stuff like that at all.

SPEAKER_01 22:18

But there definitely is. And there's a lot of the whole, you know, rewarding somebody for a a good career. You know, like sure. Like, but you know, like Jack Pallants and City Slickers. Did you ever see C City Slickers?

SPEAKER_03 22:29

I don't think so.

SPEAKER_01 22:30

He got an Oscar for it. Not to take it away from Jack Pallance, but he was in it for like 15 minutes and it really wasn't. You know, like that kind of stuff. Um, sorry to pick on. He can cut hey, Jack, if it's any consolation.

SPEAKER_03 22:42

Is he dead?

SPEAKER_01 22:43

He can come to our concert. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_03 22:44

Oh, well, he could super come.

SPEAKER_01 22:46

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_03 22:46

Cool. Awesome. Great.

Bridgerton Notes And Corrections Corner

SPEAKER_01 22:47

What have you been doing?

SPEAKER_03 22:49

Uh, I don't have anything to report.

SPEAKER_01 22:51

Really?

SPEAKER_03 22:52

I finished Bridgerton.

SPEAKER_01 22:54

Well, okay.

SPEAKER_03 22:55

It was the second half was better than the first half, significantly, in my opinion. And it was you know, it was the trash I wanted it to be, I guess. Still not as good as the first and second seasons. I will say that.

SPEAKER_01 23:10

Would you consider them the trash you wanted it to be? The first and second seasons? Yeah. Or has it be the first one?

SPEAKER_03 23:15

I feel like they were just better overall.

SPEAKER_01 23:17

So not even trash?

SPEAKER_03 23:19

The romance between the first two couples was way more believable than the romance has been in episode three and four. I don't I don't know that I I guess it means they're bad actors. I don't believe it. That's why I'm not sure. I just don't believe that Colin or Benedict are in love with their respective partners.

SPEAKER_01 23:36

Maybe maybe you see something that the There's a lot of agenda. Sorry.

SPEAKER_03 23:43

Whether you I mean, you know.

SPEAKER_01 23:45

Can you remind me not to drink uh carbonated water on the microphone? Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 23:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 23:52

Or actually we could turn this into just to a burping show.

SPEAKER_03 23:54

That's true, we could.

SPEAKER_01 23:56

How how messed up do you think my just general apparatus is pretty bad. If I just spent two hours burping once a week.

SPEAKER_03 24:05

Terrible.

SPEAKER_01 24:06

What if it was just for two minutes?

SPEAKER_03 24:08

Nothing. Start there, see where it goes. Okay. Does that mean our podcast will just be whatever we're at now plus two more minutes? Don't look so excited. Does that mean that? No, that's all that's really all I could care to report.

SPEAKER_01 24:23

Um I there's a couple of rap things I missed. Uh by the way, if if you are one of the few who are familiar with Corrections Corner and how much time we spent on that in the beginning of the uh of the episodes, uh-huh. Check it out on Instagram. It will be there someday. All the corrections corner.

SPEAKER_03 24:38

Uh what episode's coming out tomorrow?

SPEAKER_01 24:41

SPEAKER_03 25:32

Thank you.

SPEAKER_01 25:33

I don't know. We I we could have turned it turned the podcast into that.

SPEAKER_03 25:36

You could have really turned it around.

SPEAKER_01 25:38

I would have loved to have talked about that.

SPEAKER_03 25:39

Instead of that piece of crap it ended up being.

SPEAKER_01 25:43

Country Joe McDonald died. Familiar with his work?

SPEAKER_03 25:46

No.

SPEAKER_01 25:46

You know what you are. You know why?

SPEAKER_01 26:54

After a banjo. A banjo. A banjo named Joe. Yeah, Arlo Guthrie. Oh, City of New Orleans. Banjo Shoecras. Yes, thank you. Well done. What did you want to talk about banjo shoecrass?

SPEAKER_03 27:03

You're welcome.

SPEAKER_01 27:03

And I actually kind of was able to follow it while typing.

SPEAKER_03 27:06

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_01 27:06

This podcast is doing a lot for our brains. For mine.

SPEAKER_03 27:10

My brain's fine.

SPEAKER_01 27:11

Your brain remains fine. Just as it started.

SPEAKER_03 27:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 27:16

I think that's about it. Oh, Tumbleweeds and Chewing Home.

SPEAKER_03 27:20

Oh, you were going to put that on here today?

SPEAKER_01 27:22

Well, I I you told me to listen to it yesterday.

SPEAKER_03 27:24

I was really I I um I rarely do this, but I let Apple feed me new songs. Like new songs, not new to me songs, but new songs. I will say though, it has a lot of new releases of old songs that I don't want on. I don't when I'm listening to like a I want to hear new music, don't give me a remastered version of a 50-year-old song.

SPEAKER_01 27:45

That drives me nuts. I know what you're talking about.

SPEAKER_03 27:48

Anyway, they came, there's a song, Who is the girl?

SPEAKER_01 27:50

I was gonna ask you that.

SPEAKER_03 27:51

I don't know. There's a new Willie Nelson song out where he sings a little duet call on a song called Tumbleweeds and Chewing Gum, right?

SPEAKER_01 27:58

Yes.

SPEAKER_03 27:59

And I only really wanted you to listen to it because I was struck with simultaneously how old and decrepit he sounds, but also like great.

unknown 28:10

No.

SPEAKER_01 28:11

He's got, I mean, honestly, this is He's like 92 years old, isn't he? This is the obvious comparison, but you know, I thought Johnny Cash in his later years like that.

SPEAKER_03 28:18

Isn't he like 90? Willie Nelson?

SPEAKER_01 28:22

Gosh, he's gotta be. So it was hang on a second, it was Lily Miola.

SPEAKER_03 28:27

Okay. I've never heard of her. Um it's like a little country tune, and obviously.

SPEAKER_01 28:31

Yeah, he's uh now I gotta look it up. Willie Nelson, this is Corrections Quarter, live. Live? This is where Uncle Dan, this is where we need Uncle Dan. Um we just need him in general.

SPEAKER_03 28:40

Yeah, I meant to say at the top of the episode that when you where I was saying you that you like to stand, that no one can outstand Uncle Dan.

SPEAKER_01 28:46

If if Uncle Dan ever comes down here, we're gonna do our velvet line and we're gonna stand.

SPEAKER_03 28:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 28:52

And then from that point forward, this will be a the standing in line simulation. We should probably go all in on that at some point.

SPEAKER_03 28:58

Standing up?

SPEAKER_01 28:59

We should just it should be a standing in line simulation.

SPEAKER_03 29:02

I would love to be standing right now.

SPEAKER_01 29:03

So we are standing in line the whole time.

SPEAKER_03 29:06

Can I have one of those telescopic canes that I can sit on though?

SPEAKER_01 29:09

You mean like the one I uh took into the uh uh No, not quite like that.

SPEAKER_03 29:14

City of Columbus Courthouse.

SPEAKER_01 29:15

City of Columbus Courthouse and Asp Steel Baton? Nope. No, not that.

SPEAKER_03 29:20

SPEAKER_01 29:21

No.

SPEAKER_03 29:22

Okay. Just gonna leave. Do you want to later listeners hanging?

SPEAKER_01 29:24

Well, I feel like there's gonna be a lot of talk about Mitchell.

SPEAKER_03 29:27

Oh.

The Courthouse Baton Marriage Story

SPEAKER_01 29:27

And I want to talk about Waterloo Sunset.

SPEAKER_04 29:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 29:30

And I want to have a nice conversation about it. I don't want to feel like I'm making you I wanna feel like I'm beating you over the head with just obscure crazy.

SPEAKER_03 29:39

I'll try to have a nice looking face while you're talking to me about it.

SPEAKER_01 29:42

I and also, you know, I don't know if the audience wants that. Right? And I don't want to give them the title. True. Right.

SPEAKER_03 29:52

You might not like it.

SPEAKER_01 29:53

So, um, do you would do you want me to tell the story real quick? Sure. It is a why don't you tell the story?

SPEAKER_03 29:58

Okay, so Rob and I were gonna get married twenty nigh on twenty-one years ago.

SPEAKER_01 30:02

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_03 30:02

Probably about this time, summertime maybe.

SPEAKER_01 30:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 30:06

We had to go in.

SPEAKER_01 30:07

I had a short sleeve, sure.

SPEAKER_03 30:08

To get the marriage license.

SPEAKER_01 30:10

Polo, sure once.

SPEAKER_03 30:11

And we lived in Columbus, so we were gonna meet up at the Columbus Courthouse. So the first thing that happened is that we were driving separately and Rob pulled into a parking lot that was full.

SPEAKER_00 30:21

I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 30:22

And I was like, don't go because it was like super far away. I was like, don't park there, but I don't think we had phones. If we did, they weren't like handily available. Um you pulled into this parking lot. I'm pretty sure we had to pay to get out of it. So I was really mad because we couldn't even park there.

SPEAKER_01 30:38

Wow. This is all okay, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 30:40

Started mad.

SPEAKER_01 30:41

So that was This is all I this I'm reliving it now. Do you remember that? Uh-uh.

SPEAKER_03 30:46

Okay. Well, it makes you feel better. I feel like you always remember. Yeah. So then, and Rob Rob has has been, always will be sort of obsessed with weaponry. And I'm a mall ninja. Used to carry all kinds of stuff. You're a little bit more legit than a mall ninja.

SPEAKER_01 31:03

I am a I'm I will always forever be a mall ninja.

SPEAKER_03 31:07

You can identify with a mall gent.

SPEAKER_01 31:09

But yeah, I mean I can do stuff too. I've been to some fights, I suppose.

SPEAKER_03 31:13

So he always has some various weaponry on his person. I just was used to it. But uh so we finally park and get to the um City of Columbus Courthouse. So it's not like a small town operation. And we're like going through security, and Rob reveals that he has a nightstick, a telescoping nightstick in his pocket, which it fully like collapsed, was still like eight inches long, big thick piece of metal. Then you hold it in your hand.

SPEAKER_01 31:43

Almost like a line, like a velvet line rope.

SPEAKER_03 31:45

Almost just like that. And then you hold it in your hand and you throw it out, and it would open up to be like, I don't know, a foot and a half.

SPEAKER_01 31:52

Well, I think this was 18. Yeah, foot and a half. Well done.

SPEAKER_03 31:55

Well, and then it was just a big solid heavy piece of metal, like a baton you could start. There's an ask if you're familiar with it. You could beat people to death with. So I don't even remember because as soon as I saw you pull that out, I was like, I said hey, I'm out of here.

SPEAKER_01 32:10

I said, can I just I don't know through security?

SPEAKER_03 32:15

Why you thought it was I was like, oh, oh, I it was like we were combing up. I was like, go put that back in the car. You're like, no, I'll just leave it with them. I was like, you can't just like check your weapons out there. That's what I said.

SPEAKER_01 32:25

Yeah, I said, can I check this? He's like, it was like a kind of an older guy. The security.

SPEAKER_03 32:30

Uh I'm like having all kinds of feelings right now.

SPEAKER_01 32:32

And he's just like, son, what the hell are you doing with me?

SPEAKER_03 32:37

He told you you'd be better off getting your concealed carry.

SPEAKER_01 32:40

And he's like, hey, hold on right there. Well, he's like, hold on right there. And he goes and gets this other guy on the officer. Remember?

SPEAKER_03 32:46

The guy looked like uh No, I fully was 30 to 50 feet away from him at that point. I had run away because I was so pre-upset that this was going on.

SPEAKER_01 32:55

Well, the guy looked like Bull, the bull fighter from um from uh Tyson's Punch Out. Like he bald head guy with facial hair uh sleeves.

SPEAKER_03 33:04

Yeah, facial hair sleeves.

SPEAKER_01 33:06

Facial hair sleeves. He just it's like uh what's the government?

SPEAKER_03 33:11

He just has beards all over his eyes.

SPEAKER_01 33:12

In the in the Bible, uh with the he puts like the goat. Yeah, he had those. Yeah. He's a big, big Bible guy. Yeah. Yeah. He uh anyways, he comes up and he's like, Why do you have that? I said, and then I just didn't answer. I just kind of like I'm like, because I was I was like, oh I'm an idiot. My pre-wife was right. I might be really screwed. Like all of a sudden, they're like I just got really sober.

SPEAKER_03 33:45

This trip to get a marriage license is turning into something quite different.

SPEAKER_01 33:49

Yeah. So, but he says he finishes the sentence for me. I guess apparently he was asking a rhetorical question. Police officers like to do that, by the way. Hey, you know what that stop sign meant?

SPEAKER_03 34:01

Poor police officers in our lives that are fine.

SPEAKER_01 34:04

Hey, which one of you guys thinks he's Bob Marley in here? These are all things I've heard. Had the pleasure. I do like a lot of my my police officer friends. Thank you guys. And uh, anyways, thanks for thanks for giving me so much fun things to quote. Um, so he uh he said well, he said, is it for self-defense? I said, Yes, yes, sir. He said, Well, we have we have two options. One, you will march back to your car. I'm gonna go with you, make sure you lock that up, and then we'll come back and try this again. I said, and then he said, or you can just give it to me and you won't check it in. I will take it. This isn't bad. It'll be mine, yeah. And he and I said, Well, that was I'm like, well, it was a$60 baton, so I would like to something like that. I'd like to take it. He said, All right, where are you parked? And I told him it was like three blocks because of the whole situation that you just outlined, and and he said, uh, okay, well, you go take it, and then I'll be here waiting for you.

SPEAKER_04 35:07

Yeah, I'm not gonna walk six blocks.

SPEAKER_01 35:09

So I did that. I came back in, he's like, let me talk to you, as like before I went through. And he said, Hey, man, a guy your size, it's like I get one to defend yourself and your wife and everything. But like, your big wife. If a guy your size beats somebody with that with that thing, you're gonna get absolutely destroyed in front of a jury. He said, just get a gun and shoot 'em and make sure they're dead. And I was like, This is not at all how I thought this was gonna be. Like, I was it was it was the most weird, it was a very weird situation. Meanwhile, Leslie is just hiding behind a marble column. Yeah. I can't believe you. I can't believe you, yeah. Wow, how'd the rest of that day go for you? I never asked.

SPEAKER_03 35:53

I'm pretty sure I like immediately called my sister and was like, listen to what Rob did at the courthouse today.

SPEAKER_01 35:59

Anyways. All right, so there's a little memory corner.

What MST3K Is And Why

SPEAKER_03 36:02

Yeah. So anyway, Mystery Science Theater.

SPEAKER_01 36:05

Mystery Science Theater. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 36:08

So for those of you, I can't imagine anyone listening to our podcast is unfamiliar, at least passingly with it, but I will describe it. Mystery Science Theater 3000 is a show where there's a host, a human host, and some robot co-hosts, and they watch B or lower terrible movies. I thought they were all sci-fi or you know, horror, but apparently there's some action mixed in as we found out last night.

SPEAKER_01 36:39

It did used to be on sci-fi. Sci-fi, excuse me.

SPEAKER_03 36:44

But it was on Comedy Cycles.

SPEAKER_01 36:45

I think it used to be on sci-fi, it originated on that, and then I think Comedy Central picked it up at some point. I don't know the the history. So maybe they did go sci-h sci-fi heavy in the beginning. Um But yeah, the guy named uh his name's Frank. TB Frank. You know the guy with the white hair?

SPEAKER_04 37:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 37:02

You know what I'm talking about? Mm-hmm. Frank Coniff. He apparently watched like thousands of crappy movies over the years and just said, like, this is just watchable enough to make fun of and be engaged, work jokes on it.

SPEAKER_03 37:16

So then then the premise of the show is that the hosts, the robot and the human, watch it. So you're sitting behind them in the theater, so you see their silhouettes at the bottom of the screen, and then they're like making fun of it, and we're all it's like you're watching it with them while they watch it.

SPEAKER_01 37:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 37:30

And it's hilarious.

SPEAKER_01 37:32

It is. I would love to you know something I gotta look up, remind me too. Rob, remind yourself. See if Frank Conniff has like a speaker seven podcast. Yeah, speaker. It's an old uh Transcript Transcription SRT joke. Um see if Frank Conf has a podcast or something where he talks B movies.

SPEAKER_04 37:53

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 37:54

Because that dude has probably seen more like vinegar syndrome style films than any other person on the on the planet. Um anyways. What's your relationship with it? Did you used to watch it a lot?

SPEAKER_03 38:07

No, I didn't watch it a lot.

SPEAKER_01 38:08

If you didn't have cable, right?

SPEAKER_03 38:09

Right, but um Laura and Uncle Dan used to watch it, and that's where I think I saw it originally. Or maybe even her one boyfriend that was really mean to me. Oh, we don't. He might have watched it. Who won't say his name? Never. His name was Chris. That's a regular name. Anyway, I I will say we watched episode 512.

SPEAKER_01 38:31

Was it really?

SPEAKER_03 38:32

It was. But they could call it like season five, episode twelve.

SPEAKER_01 38:36

Oh, okay. Yeah, I was gonna say I don't think they had that many. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 38:40

Yeah, because I was like, because it I was looking at the There's no way there's anywhere. I was looking up some stuff about the theme songs, and it was like for episodes 1000 and I was like, geez, which one did we watch? And we watched 512, but it was season five. Episode 12.

SPEAKER_01 38:54

It started in what, 88? I don't know. I think so.

SPEAKER_03 38:58

Um so yeah, but I always thought it was really funny.

SPEAKER_01 39:02

Sorry, go ahead.

SPEAKER_03 39:04

And it was like it was it was very much on in the background a lot when Laura had people in like Laura was always present whenever I was watching it because she or whoever she was with was had had it on.

SPEAKER_01 39:18

It was kind of the same. I I never there were definitely times I remember being at sleepovers and we just like basically all of our attention was into them into Mystery Science Theater 3000. Like we definitely watched it as the primary focal point for two hours, and I definitely thought it was funny.

SPEAKER_03 39:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 39:38

Um mainly it was mainly more of a relationship of like it would be on at a sleepover, we might be doing something else.

SPEAKER_04 39:46

Yeah, but like that's great.

SPEAKER_01 39:48

Everybody was familiar with it, yeah. And I always thought it was funny. I think it's really funny. Like I was dying during most of it. Those jokes are like it's like watching airplane, or like or like Golden Era Family Guy.

SPEAKER_04 40:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 40:04

Like it's just rapid fire pop culture references. If you don't get them, we're st we're gonna have 50 more for you.

SPEAKER_03 40:09

Yeah. And their commitment to just keeping on going, even if they don't laugh at each other, yeah, it's like they're just keeping on going.

SPEAKER_01 40:17

It's like a freaking joke machine gun. And it's and it's there's no better. I don't know which came first, my love for the media or my love for mystery science 3000. Yeah, but like there's something about that as a as a target for humor, or as a you know, a uh what's the word? A um whatever, you know what I'm saying? The object.

SPEAKER_04 40:39

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_01 40:40

Right. It's I can't think of the word object. It's it's just it's right in the sweet spot for me. Like I love it's like even if the joke they did they told a bunch that I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, throw away.

SPEAKER_03 40:50

But like as a collective, they're hilarious.

SPEAKER_01 40:53

Yeah, and I I guess I've I looked at a little bit of the process. Did you at all? Uh-huh. I I think what they did, if if if what I read was correct, they would like pretty much like everybody involved would watch it and watch it and they'd all just write jokes throughout the whole time. And then they pick the best ones and they they just let them rip. And you could tell like the way they did that, because I love the like whenever there's a something, a scene where there's somebody is doing something, like when he's messing with the gas cap. Yeah, like they have 50 ready to rock. Yeah, like he's taking a little nip of gasoline, or what did he say? He's uh I don't know. I don't remember. I wrote down uh could I start could this is gonna be really random?

SPEAKER_03 41:39

But well, but real quick before you start in on it, the other added bonus that we mentioned at the top of this is not only did we watch an episode from what, like 1993, but it was recorded on TV, and so what we watched was like somebody's VHS recording, and it included all the commercials from that from 1996. From that, yeah, broadcasting. Oh, it was 96.

SPEAKER_01 42:09

This is why I think it's 1996 because there was a commercial It said 95. Well, there was a it could have been ninety five, but there was a whoa the commercial had 1995 in it. Oh, was it like a sprint commercial or something? I was gonna say, well, that would make that's a way more straightforward method. I was thinking because Down Periscope didn't come out till 1996.

SPEAKER_03 42:30

Okay, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 42:30

With like Lauren Hawley and uh Kelsey Grammar.

SPEAKER_03 42:33

So it's a ninety five, but anyway, so all of the you know, it was just like a snapshot of what was popular at that time.

SPEAKER_04 42:39

Yes.

SPEAKER_03 42:40

Um so we watched it was a two, like almost exactly a two-hour broadcast, and it included all the like i intros, outros of each scene of Mystery Science Theater, and then the commercials.

SPEAKER_01 42:52

We watched the whole thing.

SPEAKER_03 42:53

We watched it all like we were watching it on a TV that you couldn't do anything with that you can do today.

SPEAKER_01 42:58

Yes.

SPEAKER_03 42:58

You're stuck with what's being aired.

SPEAKER_01 43:00

I'll put a link to the video in the description of the YouTube and and and you should check it out if so the reason I even thought of this was I was uh I listened to the Rewatchables podcast a lot.

SPEAKER_03 43:15

I put them in an Instagram post recently.

SPEAKER_01 43:17

Oh, did you? Yeah. Oh yeah, I remember that. Yeah. Yes, yes, yes.

SPEAKER_03 43:20

Did you see my eyes flash? I thought you looked at it.

SPEAKER_01 43:25

I did, I loved it. Really? I thought it was great.

SPEAKER_03 43:27

I thought you loved me.

SPEAKER_01 43:28

But Bill Simmons, the the main host, is a uh huge he likes to talk about Joe Don Baker a lot, and he he mentioned Mitchell, specifically the Mystery Science Theater version of it, and he said it's hilarious. So I didn't know that. I wrote it down because I was like, commercial. I was like, we have to do this like this week.

SPEAKER_03 43:50

Because not only were the commercials great, oh there's a ladybug on here. I'm not allowed to get it off, am I? Because it's on the microphone. Anyway, not only were commercial. Commercials so so good, but um we don't even watch commercials at all anymore. Ever. I mean I might see ten seconds of one on a YouTube video, but so like we're I'm very out of the commercial game.

SPEAKER_01 44:16

Yeah, it was uh it was nice to see some old fair I I I seriously I I believe I saw every single one of those commercials.

SPEAKER_03 44:26

Like I was familiar with every single Comedy Central specific ones I didn't because we didn't have cable.

SPEAKER_01 44:31

I forgot that Comedy Central used to do that a lot.

SPEAKER_03 44:34

Um they used to take uh advertised their own shows like it was uh almost like an infomercial style, like almost like you could call an 800 number.

SPEAKER_01 44:42

Yeah, it was uh keep talking about it for a second because I actually wrote down a little bit on that. What do you mean? Yeah, CC Central Comedy Central CCI. They had Sally Kellerman on the city.

SPEAKER_03 44:53

And I was like, is this real? You're like, no, no, it's it's like satire or whatever.

SPEAKER_01 44:57

She was have you seen Back to School with Ronnie Dangerfield?

SPEAKER_03 45:00

Uh I feel like you've had it on and I've been around.

SPEAKER_01 45:02

We'll definitely have to watch that sometime. It's one it's every time I watch it, I love it more. Uh anyways, Sally Kellerman's in that. But she's the one who was advertising the uh the comedy, the CCI Comedy Central Um, it's the place what is it? CCI is the place to do it all. Yeah. And then they had uh what's his face? Um he was he was in Tim and Eric. He was in Tom goes to the mayor. He played, he was like Joyce's ex-husband who was painting with diarrhea. He was the one in the pregnant woman's stomach. They had some really far out, far out commercials. Right, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 45:36

Yeah, they were bizarro. They were sure.

SPEAKER_01 45:38

Yeah, it was an out there, a lot of sexy stuff too.

SPEAKER_03 45:41

Yeah, I kept thinking, wow, but then I was like, this was cable, so yeah, you got those were different.

SPEAKER_01 45:46

You got do we do we just want to lean into the commercials right now?

SPEAKER_03 45:49

All right, well, let's just no. Okay. I wrote it down in order of just like as it was happening. So it was like a little bit about Mitchell and then the commercials. How did you write it down? Did you have two steps?

SPEAKER_01 45:59

So I wrote down a massive list. I was I probably saw my phone more than I saw the TV because I they I kept being like, look, look at the because you would laugh at the joke, but it was like you didn't even see it. I'm like, right, I basically wrote the script on my phone because like it was so many quotes, and I I didn't know what was said in the actual TV show. I'm like, uh you know, the whole time as you're writing down, you're you're gonna remember this. And then they get another one. Yeah, I try to write it down again. And what I did was I took that whole thing, and I if you really want to hear it, I said, this is what I was doing last night. Um when you were asleep. I said, I I basically said to Claude, the AI bot, I said, categorize all this into what you think is a quote, da-da-da-da-da-da-da, and then take and then the second phase was take that and put it up against I said, Do you have give me the transcripts for this episode in this of you know, Mitchell of Mystery Science Theater, match it up against the quotes that that you think are quotes, and then but only give me the ones that you that you know are are the actual quote from the transcript, and then organize them into plot and organize them, but basically that's so that's how I did it. Yeah, that was too much um for anybody who's interested.

SPEAKER_03 47:12

Well, let's just start from the very top. So the theme song is right up our alley because it explains the show.

SPEAKER_04 47:19

Yes.

SPEAKER_03 47:20

And I had to go look up the what the words were because I didn't catch them all, and that's when I discovered that there are 11 versions of the theme song. So every time they have a new host, so we watched the last episode that had Joel Hodgson as the host. And he actually, as far as I could tell, it looks as though he actually uh sang it.

SPEAKER_01 47:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 47:44

And then Mike Nelson sang his in the next several episodes, and then there was another another version with him. And then there was a lady on there at the end. Mary Jo.

SPEAKER_01 48:00

I I read the data.

SPEAKER_03 48:02

Well, she was on it. She must have been wa she was an evil, she was Pearl, maybe. Anyway, so I just thought that was so funny that we were just talking about theme songs that explain the show, and this one is like over the top.

SPEAKER_01 48:14

Yeah, it was like a three-minute theme song. And it's uh they've they've had six different theme songs from what I read. So does that mean six different hosts?

SPEAKER_03 48:21

I guess didn't I just say there were eleven versions?

SPEAKER_01 48:24

Oh, do you know there are eleven versions? Oh, I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_03 48:27

One, two, three, four, five, six, also known as eleven. Sorry. I don't know why I thought eleven.

SPEAKER_01 48:36

That was like advanced gaslighting.

SPEAKER_03 48:38

We didn't even mean to watch the last one of Joel, but we did. Mitchell was last. Yeah, it was great. And I kept saying, Is this it?

SPEAKER_01 48:44

Did you cry? You were crying, wasn't it? I was a little bit clear. I thought that's all, yeah. You like the team.

SPEAKER_03 48:48

So anyway, that was great. And I wrote the theme, Sean, explains the show.

SPEAKER_01 48:53

I know.

SPEAKER_03 48:53

Do you have a favorite robot name?

SPEAKER_01 48:56

Tom. Tom Servo. Tom Servo's my favorite robot name, too.

SPEAKER_03 48:59

That's such a great robot name.

SPEAKER_01 49:01

I love the uh Tom Servo when he's that stupid scene for the movie. I'm sorry, I know I'm jumping ahead. You're fine. But where he's talking to that, where he's talking to that boy, that kid, and they're like mocking each other.

SPEAKER_04 49:15

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 49:15

But he goes on forever. And he's like screaming. And Tom's like, ah just like a kid. That was it. There was no explanation. It's like he just snapped. You just couldn't handle it.

unknown 49:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 49:28

Yeah, Tom Servo.

SPEAKER_03 49:30

Well, the funny, they have a funny joke at the I see that their like interactions outside of the theater are my least favorite part.

SPEAKER_01 49:37

Me too.

SPEAKER_03 49:37

Because I think that's everyone. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 49:39

In fact, it did you ever watch Beavis and Butthead?

SPEAKER_03 49:42

Uh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 49:43

When I was a kid, my least favorite I I'd like to watch, we're gonna. You mind if we watch some Beavis and Butthead at some point?

SPEAKER_02 49:49

I don't mind.

SPEAKER_01 49:50

My least favorite part was when they would watch the music videos and basically do what Mystery Science Theater does. They just make fun of it, riff on it. I feel like I would love that now, but as a kid, I just wanted to watch their storyline. So it was almost like the reverse.

SPEAKER_04 50:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 50:04

Um, but I didn't like the sketch. The sketches were, I mean, they're fine. Just very quality. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 50:12

But I did think that the gold is in the at the beginning. He makes that scale model of something out of toothpicks, and they're and he was like, Yeah, we're on a spaceship. There's plenty of toothpicks here, and like just goes right on. Like, that's an explanation of where all the toothpicks came from.

SPEAKER_01 50:26

I love like there they're just there are some like funny little lines where he's like when they Mike was coming on and and he said uh he's like, Oh, you guys watch Joe Don Baker movies here? I guess if that's the janitor perks up when somebody's talking about Joe Don Baker.

SPEAKER_03 50:45

Well, and it's funny because literally$425 an hour, by the way.

SPEAKER_01 50:48

That's gotta be minimum wage, right?

SPEAKER_03 50:50

I well when I started working, it was I got paid five minimum wage was five fifteen when I was seventeen.

SPEAKER_01 51:00

Was that a lifeguard?

SPEAKER_03 51:01

Yeah. But I got paid five twenty-five because I was a lifeguard. Ten cents more than the concession stand workers.

SPEAKER_01 51:07

You have flav spending all the flavor ice.

SPEAKER_03 51:08

That's right. Um, but then I thought it was really funny because later on in the sh in the movie, because then they choose to watch Mitchell, so you can tell us a little bit about that in a second. But right before the first commercial break, before they've even seen Mitchell, because in Mitchell you can see a boom mic, and we like rewrobbed it, so rewinded it, rewounded it.

SPEAKER_01 51:26

I never know what to say there.

SPEAKER_03 51:28

We we hit rewind and backed it up, and we could see the boom mic, but it's like watching Dole Mike. You can see right before the first commercial break, you can see like because those robots are puppets, and you can see somebody's shoulder come up over the top of the table in the spaceship, like with the toothpick scene. Oh, really? I wrote it down, I was like, I just saw someone behind the table.

SPEAKER_01 51:48

That's wow. You've noticed things. I was just messing around more. That's amazing.

SPEAKER_03 51:56

Well, it's hard to watch this stuff and strike a balance between taking notes and also still trying to enjoy it.

SPEAKER_01 52:02

Somehow I enjoy it. I so it's way more work, but I seem to enjoy it more taking notes. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 52:10

Well, you've got to dial in a little bit so you'd miss less.

SPEAKER_01 52:12

It forces me to focus. Yeah. Um, and I have I have an issue with that. Uh sorry, go ahead.

SPEAKER_03 52:18

That's that's fine. So then they decide to watch Mitchell. So you want to tell us a little bit about Mitchell?

SPEAKER_01 52:22

Yeah, so Mitchell stars Joe Don Baker.

SPEAKER_03 52:27

Not a woman, I thought was a like Joe Don, like J-O-D-A-W-N for a while. And then I thought that the criminal at the very beginning was Joe Don Baker. Oh, no. Then I thought that the next guy that you said was a martial artist was Joe Don Baker. So it wasn't until we got to the part where they finally showed Joe Don Baker that I was like, is that the main guy?

unknown 52:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 52:49

Which is always how you want to set your movie up, I guess. Three people deep before somebody knows who the main character is.

SPEAKER_01 52:56

So John Saxon is the is the dude in the beginning.

SPEAKER_03 53:00

Not the criminal, though.

SPEAKER_01 53:01

The criminal.

SPEAKER_03 53:01

Not the kid, not the thief, not the kid that breaks in.

SPEAKER_01 53:04

Oh, Johnny Mathis?

SPEAKER_03 53:05

Yeah, you're right.

SPEAKER_01 53:06

Dude, the Johnny Mathis brought that. They just that's one thing I love.

SPEAKER_03 53:11

They just beat it to death.

SPEAKER_01 53:14

Yeah. Because there's they sing like probably six Johnny Mathis songs during that whole entire break-in scene. It's so good.

SPEAKER_03 53:21

But Mitchell, the premise of Mitchell is.

SPEAKER_01 53:24

I don't okay, give me a second. I'll tell you. I just want to mention John Saxon in End of the Dragon. Um, have you ever seen that? Ooh.

SPEAKER_03 53:33

No.

SPEAKER_01 53:33

You I think you'd like it. It's a Bruce Lee movie. John Saxon's in it?

SPEAKER_03 53:37

You just hit your own mic. Was it me?

SPEAKER_01 53:39

I know I hit the uh table. Sorry, folks. Wow. Jim uh Jim Kelly's in it. Uh, not the quarterback. But anyways, I'm gonna go off on the deep end there. Let me look up old plot, my little plotty here. What was it what was it about to you? How did you uh how would you define it? Well you're pretty good.

SPEAKER_03 53:57

I wasn't really sure until I finally realized what the main who the main character was, who by the way I didn't realize was a detective. I thought he was someone that just happened to have already been apprehended that night that was like still in the cop car. So can I talk about like Right? Well But he was like a lead detective.

SPEAKER_01 54:14

Watching this movie and actually trying to pay attention to the movie is so incredibly difficult because what they say just completely changes the way you think you would see Like I'm like are they when whoever directed this movie, did they and I wrote it down somewhere in here, but did they want us to think he was a slob who just or or am I just or was he supposed to be like devil make hair like I think he definitely was like he's supposed to be like one of those, you know But he wasn't no they just grabbed that like they apparently Jodan Baker said he was gonna like said he was looking for them to beat him up or something. It's probably a joke, yeah. But he didn't he one thing he didn't like was that sometimes they would he's like when they were making fun of Mitchell, that was okay, kind of. Yeah, but a lot of times they just flat out made fun of Jodon Baker, and you'd think that they back off after that, but they actually did another movie later and they just torched him.

SPEAKER_03 55:12

All right, Jodon Baker. You should have known better than say anything at all other than that was great. Oh, too bad.

SPEAKER_01 55:19

But uh the the plot, here's the plot, because I I I don't know. I don't know what the plot is, um, especially with the way they do it.

SPEAKER_03 55:25

It's supposed to be a cop procedure.

SPEAKER_01 55:26

They edit stuff out like that the part where they're like, oh, John wasn't John Saxon in this, like he just disappears. Uh or in those or like the sex scenes with Linda Evans. The uh we're like, who is that woman?

SPEAKER_03 55:39

Like this person just shows up and he just lets her in.

SPEAKER_01 55:44

So here's the plot uh slobby principled cop Mitchell is assigned to surveil Cummings, a wealthy mob-connected businessman importing heroin from Mexico. He also suspects a rich guy, Deany, who's John Saxon, of murdering a burglar in his home. Meanwhile, a call girl named Greta shows up at Mitchell's apartment, sent by Deany, at$1,000 a night to keep him distracted. Mitchell figures it out, arrests her for marijuana possession, but she keeps coming back. Deany tries to run Mitchell down with a dune buggy that was cut from that was cut from Mystery Science. Oh, we didn't see that. That's why John Saxon uh disappears like halfway through without explanation. Just like Linda Evans appears without explanation. Uh Cummings tries to use Mitchell to intercept a drug ship shipment, then double crosses him. A police helicopter drops Mitchell, which uh, by the way, I looked up the type of helicopter that is. It's like something 3,000.

SPEAKER_03 56:41

Mystery science theater.

SPEAKER_01 56:42

300, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 56:44

Something MST.

SPEAKER_01 56:46

It definitely had numbers in it. Um drug shipment, helicopter. Oh, yeah, he drops him a gun. I think was that the boy with Annie Kaufman was there? They kept doing the lat half on. He's like, Thank you, Madame Match. Like he gets he gets the gun and he's like, Thank you about the match. Uh we uh we tend to stick the themes around here. All right. Uh kills the butler. Jeez, does it matter? He drops a gun. He kills Mistretta's men on a golf course. Mitchell gets dropped onto Cummings boat by helicopter, kills the butler with a gaff hook, shoots Cummings, returns home to find Greta waiting, smells marijuana on her, and prepares to arrest her again.

SPEAKER_03 57:30

And that's the end of the movie. That's the end of the movie. I mean, sure, that's a that's somewhat of an accurate description.

SPEAKER_01 57:38

Would you have been able to describe that? I would not have been able to. I remember those scenes I could not.

SPEAKER_03 57:45

I gathered that they didn't want him looking into the John Saxon storyline. So they assigned him to watch this other guy. But then they just started throwing around so many last names. Like that one scene where they were like, Mistretta and Gur what was the other last name? And like the the hosts were like, Oh, but it was Girz. Yeah, this is like every time that one of them on the screen would say the last name, and they'd say, No, it was this person. So he's like, You never knew who they were talking about.

SPEAKER_01 58:12

Um the music wasn't giving you any hits.

SPEAKER_03 58:14

No, the music was all over the place. I wanted to be like, pick a pick a vibe.

SPEAKER_01 58:19

They'd be like this light-hearted country. He just shot a guy. And then they the cops always look at each other, and the music's like, like, did they add that?

SPEAKER_03 58:29

Or no, it's just and like during one of the romantic scenes, there's like this ridiculous country song about Mitchell.

SPEAKER_01 58:37

Oh, yes.

SPEAKER_03 58:38

And that's when they said it sounded like BJ Thomas.

SPEAKER_01 58:40

He wrote um, yeah, he's like BJ Thomas in here. They they uh the guy, I'm trying to find it in here.

SPEAKER_03 58:48

Was it the same guy that wrote Firefly?

SPEAKER_01 58:51

No, it's Joss Wheaton, right?

SPEAKER_03 58:53

Did he write it?

SPEAKER_01 58:54

I think so. Oh yeah, yeah, that's why it's uh awesome. Um They No, it was uh Hoyt Axton.

SPEAKER_03 59:02

Oh, right.

SPEAKER_01 59:02

Hoyt Axton wrote for Three Dog Night.

SPEAKER_03 59:05

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_01 59:06

So you can actually write it It wasn't honestly a bad song, it was probably a totally fine song. He's probably like here's what this movie's about. Can you write a song for it? And guys are probably like, yeah, it's not like he's like and I want you to put it in a sex scene with Jodon Baker. You know. As far as if you just look listen to the song by itself, it's just the timing of it and the way, oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_03 59:30

It And then he said that Mitchell looks like the moon in a trip to the moon. I think that's funny because that was I remember I've had to watch that. Did you watch it? And he does look like the moon.

SPEAKER_01 59:44

He does kind of it's all dumb. He looks like if uh I was thinking he looks like if Nick Nolte and John Madden had a baby. I would say that's Jodon Baker. Um I I kind of like Jodon Baker. He was in he was in Cape Fear. We watched that.

SPEAKER_03 59:58

Right, you told me that I remember him. He was uh he was a PI that the dad hired.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:04

Yeah, I'm almost positive. That's done.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:06

And then did he get killed by the bad guy? Robert De Niro De Niro.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:11

Yeah, sorry, spoilers for Cape Fear.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:13

Well, we already talked about it.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:14

Uh that by the way, it was the remake, the Scorsese one. Um can I just rapid fire a few quotes? Yeah. Because I I wrote so many quotes down. There the jokes in this, they honestly like just as far as just funny material, just turn your brain off and just laugh.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:35

These these guys are I don't know if we just happen to watch I when was the last time you watched one of these?

SPEAKER_03 1:00:40

I think it was like when when Dennis and Ashley were here a few years ago. We it was on Netflix, we were watching them on.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:45

Oh, okay. Were we were we laughing as hard?

SPEAKER_03 1:00:48

No.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:49

Was this just a particularly funnier one, you think?

SPEAKER_03 1:00:52

Or I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:53

It was I don't know. I was dying.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:55

I was trying to catch everything, like you said earlier.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:57

All the stuff the way they made fun of of of him for you know the way they're like making him out of breath like he's uh fatty big gee.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:06

He just looks sort of like a regular guy, he's kinda he's not a bad looking dude, all of that.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:10

He's all right.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:11

All right, you you big uh big Jodon guy, yeah girl? Joe Don gal? Leslie is president president of the uh Joe Don gals.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:22

We're the Joe Don's D AWE.

I totally get that though. I'm I'm all about that.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:05

Bring it back.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:07

Uh tell him we have sour cream. There's like all these scenes where they're like trying to food jokes. They're pretending like they're trying to lure a man. He's like, liquor man, whiskey man. He's like, hey, tell him, tell him we have sour cream. We're trying to get his attention. He says, uh, I want to put you on the payroll. We have an opening in retail. He's like, I admire I love this one. I feel like I've heard this joke a million times, but it always kills me. I admire a man like you. Well, not you specifically.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:43

At one point they call somebody a be jumpsuited fool.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:48

Oh that was actually in the uh Oh, that was in the You're right, you're right.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:54

Sorry. I'm sorry, I take it back.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:56

The more I the more I started thinking about some of the jokes that they told in like the what what would you call that? The actual mystery science thing.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:03

Yeah, like on the spaceship.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:04

Yeah. I mean, it was it's a lot funnier than I I remembered really not liking it. I remember just like get up through it, yeah. I actually kind of enjoyed it to an extent. But um what else? Uh I like the top. Oh, go ahead.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:19

Oh, I was gonna say when they say that that one guy was hastily put together. He's like kind of an ugly old man. He like turns his face and they can finally see him front on him. Oh, he was hastily put together. Hastily put together.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:30

I like to top off my beer with another beer. It's like dessert. Uh oh, when Joe Dot Baker was about to get get into the shower, they said, Thank God for the jump cut.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:43

I mean the editing in this video movie was ridiculous.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:47

Ridiculous. And then they made it even worse. Yeah. Yeah, I guess. Maybe they made it better, actually.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:51

The car chase scene.

unknown 1:03:53

Oh.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:54

It was like everything was happening at like 25. They make it look like the semi is gonna run them off the road. And then they cut to the next scene and they're like safely merged in front of the semi with no problems at all. And it's like the whole entire highway is full of cars and they're all going like 25 miles per hour. So like no one was ever at risk.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:12

Oh my gosh. Hot merging action.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:17

And then once they go off-roading and they're what they're like, Lincoln Town cars made for off-roading.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:22

Any time they would do like a like a sweeping shot, it's or like with the uh when they were in the airplane.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:28

What were they advertising? Oh, the helicopter, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:31

They were Oh, at 3M.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:33

3M, harvesting the world's oceans. For the future or something like that.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:41

For a better tomorrow. That helicopter looked like the clear glass orb from Jurassic World. And it looked like they put it on a oh, what was that erector set?

SPEAKER_01 1:05:00

Yeah. Um I'm gonna look at it.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:01

It just looked like the tail of the helicopter just looked like scaffolding. Or or like uh a ladder to climb a tower. It didn't look like anything I've ever seen before.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:12

It was uh police helicopter. Yeah, it's I mean, it's a wild-looking helicopter. I'm trying to find what the heck the name of that. Man, helicopters in this a lot. Uh when they're in the helicopter, and uh and he's trying, he's like reaching out. He's like, Mitchell's like behind him. He's like, Mitchell, not here.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:38

My favorite idea.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:39

That whole scene. Like, what were they doing?

SPEAKER_03 1:05:41

He was like, hold on to me. So Lisa's like got his arms awkwardly kind of like wrapped. It's so terrible.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:47

It was like two minutes of that.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:48

Also, were they filming that in the air?

SPEAKER_01 1:05:51

I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:52

That had to be their most expensive shot of the whole movie.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:54

Oh, you think yeah, it's probably not cheap to get a Hughes 300. I think that's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:00

From a child's backyard.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:02

Yes.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:02

That's what it looked like a kid put it together.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:06

Um some Hughes you're gonna really upset the Hughes 300 dads out there.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:10

Yes, and there's a scene where they're like eating dinner and uh the boom mic just comes down right at the top of the screen and goes right back out. It's so great.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:19

They call that out very quickly. In fact, we were we oh we already told it talked about that.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:24

The fact that they keep saying Mitchell constantly through the city.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:27

Oh, anytime he does like an action thing.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:28

Like Mitchell!

SPEAKER_01 1:06:29

He's like Mitchell, he's like gonna fight when somebody throws a punch. Mitchell! Okay, close. Oh, what he's going when he's in. When he goes into his house. And he's like clearing it out because uh Greta's in there. No, I know I know her name. Um but he's like he he he goes into uh he goes into the closet and looks in there with a gun. He's like, okay, clothes, hold it right there. And then he says, Alright, kitchen, freeze. Like those gags.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:02

Well, I like in your description that you w found on the internet where it says that he figures out that Deanny is sending him Greta. He doesn't figure it out in the movie. He tells him and he's like, wait. And he like gets mad and storms out.

SPEAKER_01 1:07:17

That's true. That that's a full disclosure, that's an AI description. I asked for just a quick summary that explained explained the plot, um, but also what was edited out of it.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:33

AI should have said once he figures it out.

SPEAKER_01 1:07:35

Yeah. So I, you know, don't don't Sorry, don't hate the AI, I guess.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:40

Sorry, computers. Please be nice to us and if you do.

SPEAKER_01 1:07:44

Have you seen my inside the PGA around here anywhere? He says, uh may oh, I'll have a va I'll have a voc uh chlorine, please. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:53

The pool bar.

SPEAKER_01 1:07:57

Oh, he'd been I never heard somebody say logging it. He says, I guess I go log or I gotta uh go into a bush and logging it.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:09

Oh no, oh well yeah, but he was staying out on the radio like he wanted them to know that if he got shot he was unarmed. Um then we're like man, you have a heck of a memory. Thank you. Um the whole movie was incredibly disjointed, barely a thread of continuity. It was pretty bad.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:34

It's a perfect movie for Mystery Science Theater. For sure.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:36

Well, they're all aren't they all?

SPEAKER_01 1:08:37

Did you get all the references they made?

SPEAKER_03 1:08:39

No. Did you write them, look them up later?

SPEAKER_01 1:08:41

I wrote down the ones I didn't get. I didn't get William Conrad. Who's that? Have you seen Jake and the Fat Man?

SPEAKER_03 1:08:47

No.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:48

He was the fat man. Okay. Sorry, William.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:50

Um that's fact. He played the fat man.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:54

King Hussein, I didn't really exactly know who that was. Um John Derrick, Ruth Boozy, Buzzy, Rosie Greer, NFL player. Yeah, I looked them all up. I could tell you anything about them if you'd like. Um Harold Pinter, Claude Atkins, Jimmy Osman, Riptide is a TV show. And then we there was an Adam 12 reference.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:15

Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:16

I just found out what Adam 12 was, and now I've heard it. It was a reference. Yeah. It's crazy.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:20

It is weird how those things happen.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:22

Um but do you want to talk about the commercials real quick? Commercials, yeah. And then we'll probably move on to Waterloo.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:28

So we could give out a couple of awards.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:30

Oh.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:31

The award for the most repeated commercial goes to Dream On. Apparently there was a TV show on Comedy Central called Dream On.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:41

I remember commercials for that.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:43

Because they're explicit.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:45

Remember when I was talking about how much I loved uh, well, this bridges the gap between the kinks, too. But that some of my first the first time I noticed the opposite sex.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:54

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:54

Like when those trailers were come on, I would pay extra special attention to them. Uh same same with Dream Month. Same with Dream Month. It was right in high school at that time.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:05

It was pretty X Oh, is that yeah, hmm?

SPEAKER_01 1:10:08

Interesting.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:08

So we saw that five times. Now there were different scenes in some of them. But it was the formula was the same in the and the like and what's the what's it called? The talking.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:20

Oh, the script.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:21

Yeah, that was the same, but they would just show different clips from the TV, but they were all essentially the same thing. Um and then an award for the most misrepresented TV show.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:33

I think that would be Star Trek to the next generation.

unknown 1:10:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:37

So they actually advertised that three different times that you could purchase seasons of the start of the next generation, which is like a a what would you say like a top five show for you in your life?

SPEAKER_01 1:10:49

Yeah. I mean, if I yeah, I would say that it's a favorite, a favorite Star Trek, but a favorite. Quality, comfort food, all that fun stuff. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:56

And they make it look it's only people getting shot with phasers and spaceships exploding. That's all they show in the advertisement.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:03

It's I wrote Walker Tex, they made it look like it's Walker Texas Ranger in space. I said it looks like a idiocracy movie trailer, a movie trailer from Idiocracy, or a movie trailer that would play on uh for somebody who likes Mitchell.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:19

I feel like if you only ever saw those trailers for this next generation, and then you got the shows, you'd be like, What?

SPEAKER_04 1:11:28

What is this? This is not what I saw about it.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:31

Sure, that stuff happens. Like those are real scenes.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:33

They made Q look like he was like, you know, Adolf Hitler's. Like freaking Pinhead or something for Hellraiser.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:42

So but yeah, they showed that one three times.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:44

Yes, that was wild.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:46

And then there were a couple celebrity sites.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:48

Oh, by the way, it's it was for Encounter at Far Point. You could buy the Bite on VHS for$4.99.$4.95.$4.95.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:55

They were all ending in fives. Um there were other things you could buy that were 0.95 cents. Um, but can you think, do you remember there was a few celebrity, not the Comedy Central commercials, but regular commercials. There's a couple celebrity sightings. Do you know who they were?

SPEAKER_01 1:12:12

Oh, well, my first my first one, I was very, very happy to see Paul Hogan on Top of the World in a Subaru commercial. Oh, Crocodile Dundee. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:23

Yeah, yeah, that was the best. Um and then the other one was Murphy Brown.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:28

Yeah, Murphy Brown. When you were right, it was Sprint.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:30

We used to watch Murphy Brown on the card.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:31

Oh, I kept saying MCI.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:32

Did you ever watch Murphy Brown?

SPEAKER_01 1:12:34

I didn't.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:34

We did.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:35

No.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:35

I don't even remember what it was about. Was she a lawyer or something?

SPEAKER_01 1:12:38

She was uh she had a lot of power suits, right?

SPEAKER_03 1:12:40

Yeah, but what was the was she a businesswoman?

SPEAKER_01 1:12:42

Never saw it.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:43

I know we watched it. Yeah, we've definitely watched a million of them, but I feel like it was on around the same time as Night Court, and I in my brain I'm like, she was a judge, but she's No, I don't think so.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:53

I watched a little bit of Night Court. It was uh it was fine.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:58

All right, what gets the um what gets second place for the most advertised?

SPEAKER_01 1:13:05

Okay was it Psychic Solution?

SPEAKER_03 1:13:11

No.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:11

Oh do you want to come back to that?

SPEAKER_03 1:13:14

Yeah, we'll come back to Psychic Solutions.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:17

Um Hang on ATT?

SPEAKER_03 1:13:23

No.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:23

Oh, those long distance ones. Those were the long distance commercials in general. I just forgot about that entire part of the city.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:29

Like that long distance was a thing. Yeah. Well, I was like, who was making all these international calls? Because it was like so much more than that.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:36

I remember that commercial with the with a girl, the the teenage girl talking to her boyfriend and in the car, and she's like privacy.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:42

Or the dad.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:43

She's like faxing all that stuff.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:48

You probably had a fax machine at your house. We never knew. We didn't have a fax machine.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:51

Really? Uh I hate fax machines.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:53

I know. We still use them in uh the cancer center. They fax stuff up.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:56

I know all about it.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:57

You just have to support that. Well, yeah, uh it was we still have them at the school. But it was the Art Instruction Institute.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:03

Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:05

Art Instructional School Institute or whatever.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:08

That I love those commercials.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:10

I and you could order the pamphlet and fill it out and send it in, and they would score it and send it back. I did it.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:15

The pirate and the turtle?

SPEAKER_03 1:14:16

Yep. I did it.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:18

Tell me about it.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:18

So you do that, you you just redraw, and I'm very, very good at redrawing things. I'm not as good at coming it up with it. I mean, that's my life. I'm very good at taking existing things and doing something with them, but novel material I'm terrible with. But anyway.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:34

There's incredible value to that. So they work so well together. Uh you have a lot of novel um novelties.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:40

We don't. But anyway, so shut your mouth. So then there was like do you remember seeing those um black and white pictures that were like different patterns and stuff? Like like like it'd be a with old woman's face or no, it was like six grids, six squares, and they all had like different black and white.

SPEAKER_00 1:14:58

Like a contrast table?

SPEAKER_03 1:14:59

Yeah, I can't remember what kind of you had to like d like predict something like pattern. It was like some pattern-related thing.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:05

Like gradients kind of thing. Something like that.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:07

And then you had to, there was like a picture of the house. You were supposed to add like landscaping and shrubbery. And that's what I did the worst on, because it was like you should have added, you know, you could have added a bush here or a tree here. It was like you were supposed to take the house.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:22

Cedar lattice work.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:23

Yeah, some cedar lattice work, keep people's bullets out. Um but that's what it was. And then they did send it back, and like they were like, This is great, this is great. You needed, you know, I could have seen more on this or whatever. I wish I still had it.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:36

Wow.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:36

But yeah, they advertised that four times.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:38

You know I love the music.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:40

The first three were exactly the same. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:43

It's like right in the it's it reminds me a lot of Angela, like Bob James like taxi theme song.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:50

But it they showed the same commercial three times, and then the fourth one, it was a it was a variation on it. Do you think they got a lot of art students? Like, what was the purpose? Like, I feel I like looking back, I'm like, was that a front for like human trafficking? Like, what was that?

SPEAKER_01 1:16:07

It's it's it's too bad that it can't just be just a good, like, hey, just we just want to help people with art.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:12

We figured that people have art skills and they just maybe they don't know.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:16

We know a pirate and a turtle are two of the most relatable uh avatars.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:20

I have turtles on my underwear right now. Oh my gosh! No, you don't. I really do though.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:27

I have pirates in mind.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:29

Wow. Um, let's see, what were some of the other commercials? Uh Playboy.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:35

There was a Playboy.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:36

Oh my gosh, and a men's health.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:38

Oh yeah. Those were pretty I forgot about those men's health.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:41

Those were pretty explicit.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:42

Yeah, I was pretty tuned into those as well.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:43

And like some of the um, did you write down any of the taglines from the Playboy?

unknown 1:16:47

No.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:48

Where they were like ever caught on tape. Like the most beautiful women ever caught on tape. Like they were out in the wild, like watching like a rare species.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:57

Scurry around tracks.

SPEAKER_03 1:17:01

I was thinking more along the lines of like National Geographic Endangerment. Species being caught on tape for the first time.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:07

There's like two, like Jenny McCarthy and Annicole Smith are up in a tree branch eating bugs off of each other.

unknown 1:17:13

Trevor Burrus, Jr.

SPEAKER_03 1:17:14

Well, they made it sound like it wasn't like a hundred percent stage, like they just like stumbled upon the scene.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:19

That's somebody's rule thirty seven.

SPEAKER_03 1:17:21

Um and then the men's health was like the three free gifts was like get rid of that gut booklet. And then, of course, the romantic tips and then group tips. Health tips that every man should know, or something like that. Oh, so cringy.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:36

Oh man, that was back in the sweet spot of like um when did Maxim start coming out? That was kind of a boom. You know, men's health might actually led into that. Men's health walked so Maxim could surf.

SPEAKER_03 1:17:52

Skateboard.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:53

What about U.S. Army? Oh my gosh, I remember specifically special thanks to Miss Miller. Never let me settle for a C. As soon as I heard that, it was just like my uh 14-year-old self just zapped back into my body. You're like B.

SPEAKER_03 1:18:13

Oh, the Jew can be.

SPEAKER_01 1:18:16

They're so they're pretty uh saccharin, is that the word?

SPEAKER_03 1:18:19

Yeah. Well, the the second one that they showed, they were showing like a SEAL team. Well, I don't know what the Army, what's the Army special officer? Like a Rangers move. Yeah, like in this full blackout camo, like like water mission, like they're creeping up in this swamp, but they're playing this like violin, beautiful, like uplifting music and like cutting to these other scenes, and I'm like, this is not. They're making it look like this is not a horribly dangerous operation that these men are about to get into.

SPEAKER_01 1:18:50

But guys, it's pretty cool, right?

SPEAKER_03 1:18:51

$30,000 for college. Um McDonald's or McDonald's. They were the only um food commercial.

SPEAKER_01 1:18:59

You know, I was in a McDonald's commercial around this time.

SPEAKER_03 1:19:02

Uh, was that the uh B Bidi Bidi? That's all, folks.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:05

Yes.

SPEAKER_03 1:19:08

One of your um better looks, I think. You were like totally dead face.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:13

I was like half-tooth.

SPEAKER_03 1:19:16

Like all front teeth. They were like, hey, you look like a rabbit. Why don't you do this?

SPEAKER_01 1:19:21

We need somebody with a cartoon voice or face.

SPEAKER_03 1:19:28

And as it turns out, you kind of check both boxes.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:32

Oh, man. Um, thank you, honey.

SPEAKER_03 1:19:35

They advertise a terrible-looking show called Ab Absolutely Fabulous.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:40

Oh, yeah, I never heard of that either. Dude, the British humor has taken me so long to I like generally like it now. And then I love it in some cases, but like none of those shows ever appealed to me. I don't know why. It was almost like I think I was just a production value snob.

SPEAKER_03 1:19:58

Yeah, maybe.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:58

I was like, that looks cheap.

SPEAKER_03 1:19:59

Yeah. Yeah. How about did you ever watch Are You Being Served?

SPEAKER_01 1:20:02

No.

SPEAKER_03 1:20:03

We should watch that sometime. My dad loved that.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:05

I'd totally down for it. There's a sister. There's a lot of shows I haven't watched like uh Faulty Towers. I hear that's great. I've never seen it.

SPEAKER_03 1:20:12

I've never heard of that one.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:13

Oh, it's supposed to be like like people very much love it.

SPEAKER_03 1:20:16

We should do a British comedy episode.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:18

We should.

SPEAKER_03 1:20:19

Um, okay. What about the only movie they showed, which we already mentioned, was Down Periscope. Only preview that they showed.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:25

Yeah. It's kind of weird. And they only showed it once.

SPEAKER_03 1:20:28

And then why did I write Have Gun Will Travel?

SPEAKER_01 1:20:32

Because that Was that from the movie Matrix? Yes. Um, no. It was a uh you could rent, you could borrow it for 10 days or keep it for$4.99. Have Gun Will Travel was a Western.

SPEAKER_03 1:20:44

Oh, right. And you could you could preview it for free for 10 days. That's what they said.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:49

Yes. That's like that's gotta be that's an interesting marketing strategy, is it?

SPEAKER_03 1:20:53

The way they spin that those.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:55

I mean, that's kind of like in the same vein as like the rebate, sort of like a$20 rebate when they know no one's gonna actually return it.

SPEAKER_03 1:21:01

Right. Well, rebate's different things.

SPEAKER_01 1:21:02

I mean, how much was the licensing on Have Gun Wheel Travel in 1993?

SPEAKER_03 1:21:06

I never even heard of it in my life.

SPEAKER_01 1:21:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:21:08

Why did I write it down? The craft matto adjustable bed.

SPEAKER_01 1:21:12

Adjustable beds at flatbed prices.

SPEAKER_03 1:21:15

We should have had that in our uh flat flatland episode. They had adjustable. Only we had seen Mitchell first. The sphere had adjustable beds in its world and its 3D world.

SPEAKER_01 1:21:28

Oh my gosh. Those are great.

SPEAKER_03 1:21:30

Uh but then let's talk psychic solutions.

SPEAKER_01 1:21:34

I man, I forgot.

SPEAKER_03 1:21:37

They showed that one twice, but it was different the second time.

SPEAKER_01 1:21:39

Yes.

SPEAKER_03 1:21:40

That was a poor man's psychic friends network.

SPEAKER_01 1:21:44

Yes. Was Psychic Friends Network uh Dion Warwick? Dean Warwick. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:21:47

So of course then they had like a black host for the psychic solutions. It was like just a straight ripoff of the Deion Warwick formula.

SPEAKER_01 1:21:57

And twice as cheesy. Like the the paid act, like it was almost as bad as like life alert. Life alert saved my life. I owe my life to it.

SPEAKER_03 1:22:08

Wait, I feel like I wrote I got a lot of mileage on our house. Did you write down any of the things they said in the psych? Oh one of the things they said that would happen if you called the 800 number was quote, feel better now.

SPEAKER_01 1:22:20

How could I lose? It's free.

SPEAKER_03 1:22:25

Oh, it was terrible.

SPEAKER_01 1:22:26

Basically, uh it's very, very Tim and Ericky. Like Tim and Eric.

SPEAKER_03 1:22:30

Yeah, like it just was one step this side of being a uh almost pre-faction.

SPEAKER_01 1:22:35

Yeah. It was hey, do yourself a favor. If you've listened to this much of the podcast, you would need to watch Psychic Solution commercials. Go find some. Get it out of your system, get it about three minutes worth. You'll be all you need.

SPEAKER_03 1:22:49

I I covered everything on my list. The only thing I didn't say, and this is back to the the sketches on Mystery Science Theater, the non-movie part. When he was like the plant, what's her name? Gladys Greta? Greta No, the plant. The I don't know why. I think it looks like Oh gosh.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:07

Yeah, shoot.

SPEAKER_03 1:23:08

Gladys.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:09

Is that it?

SPEAKER_03 1:23:11

Uh I don't remember. Anyway, and she was freaking out because they were gonna kill Joel.

SPEAKER_00 1:23:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:23:18

Uh, and she was trying to figure out how to save him, and she had all these notes on the dry erase board, and she had poop and pee, but it wasn't never fully spelled out, but it was like a molecular structure, like crossword.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:31

I almost missed it.

SPEAKER_03 1:23:31

And I was like, do you not see the poop and pee all over the board? Like that was hilarious to me.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:37

Oh.

SPEAKER_03 1:23:38

Um that was very fun.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:41

I like it. Robots and mystery science theater.

SPEAKER_03 1:23:46

So, just a time check. It's been an hour and 15 minutes.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:51

Hey guys, if you're interested in the robots from Mr. Mystery Science Theater, check out Instagram at some point. Oh, yeah. Or, hey, Google it. Or you probably already know it and you just want a reason to get mad at us.

SPEAKER_03 1:24:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:24:03

That's why we named the show after your feelings.

SPEAKER_03 1:24:08

Leave us a comment about your anger, please.

SPEAKER_01 1:24:10

Um we talk about old Waterloo Sunset. I I mean I I have more notes on old Metro, but I think we I think we we get a good. I I really wondered how we were going to talk about all of those things at once. But you know what? I knew that I had you. And I had your magnetic rail system.

SPEAKER_03 1:24:32

That's right. I hold so dear. This.

SPEAKER_01 1:24:34

But if you ride too many times.

SPEAKER_03 1:24:36

Yeah, you're trouble.

SPEAKER_01 1:24:38

You know what I don't want to. I was thinking of the uh poor guy. Forget it.

SPEAKER_03 1:24:44

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:24:45

Uh waterless sunset. So can we talk about that for a second? Just the riff?

SPEAKER_03 1:24:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:24:55

That riff is great.

SPEAKER_03 1:24:59

It's very good.

SPEAKER_01 1:25:00

It's very good. And it's it's very uh pentatonic, would you say? So that riff, and this is gonna come up again, but it is I think I could probably play a minute of it, right? I can't play it.

SPEAKER_00 1:25:17

I have to listen to So it's uh boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

SPEAKER_01 1:25:34

That I got three songs in my head. Peter Frampton, do you feel like we do? This song, obviously, and Laughter in the Rain. And I the only way I could play this song is by getting it in there first. Is by listening to it or or playing it, because I will play Laugh in the Rain.

SPEAKER_03 1:25:53

You'll go right on into a different song.

SPEAKER_01 1:25:55

Yeah, or I can't, I it's such a weird thing. It it almost makes it. I know I'm getting far out here, but is do you think that's what sorry if this is ignorant, but do you think that's what it's like when you hear somebody that say can't say their R's, for instance, or it's just like that connection is not I know it's not just a mental thing. I think there's actually some I do we should I take us down this road?

SPEAKER_03 1:26:18

Uh I just don't even know where you're gonna go.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:20

When I'm saying for the part I think it's a bit of a appreciation for not being able to control a very simple thing. Uh-uh for where it's just right there in front of me. I know Waterloo Sunset extremely well.

SPEAKER_03 1:26:33

Impediments are anatomical, yes, physical, which is why you can fix them.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:37

Yeah, sorry, I skipped several.

SPEAKER_03 1:26:38

I just have conversation in my head. You should, because I don't know what you're gonna say next.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:43

I had somebody try I I'd like to talk to Cass Cassie sometime about that and the separation there.

SPEAKER_03 1:26:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:50

Anyways, let's talk about Waterloo sunset. Motor planning. That's what our that's what we're talking about. Ray Davies wrote it. Motor planning. Um I love do you like this song? Had you heard it?

SPEAKER_03 1:27:01

Uh it felt like I'd heard it, but I would never have been able to say, Oh yeah, I've heard that. No. But I loved it.

SPEAKER_01 1:27:07

It's such a good thing.

SPEAKER_03 1:27:08

And I love that I was able to get the sheet music and then it was like I knew it immediately. And I can see your red.

SPEAKER_01 1:27:16

You try to make me feel just a little bit bad about that, right?

SPEAKER_03 1:27:19

No, I I just love the expedience of it.

SPEAKER_01 1:27:22

It it is that is a neat, very neat trick. Honestly. Like, because I I have to the I have to hear.

SPEAKER_03 1:27:31

I think I must be I have to listen to a song or something. Does that make me a visual learner? Because like I've always said if I've read something in a book, I could tell you where on the page that it was. Like I can see the page and that kind of thing. And that's how I am with the reading of the music. Like I can hear you do it and I can sit down and figure out what it is, but the second I put it into some writing I'll never forget it. And I can execute it. You know.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:28:00

Uh me, the best way for me to learn things is to write it down.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:03

You you might as well be AI, honestly, as far as I'm concerned. Me? Yeah. Your brain, the way you can come up with sentences, just the way you can write emails like at the speed of thought, like you just you just get it right the first time. I just don't have a thought.

SPEAKER_03 1:28:20

I think that's a big difference.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:22

I mean I have to like plan my day around it. And it's it's it's that's why I love the email. It's very difficult. But anyway, um but yeah, I I really liked it. I can see why you like sheet music. It's quite convenient. Expedient.com. Um beautiful. That was no, forget it. I this was on something else. We talked about something else, the album a few episodes ago. I don't remember what we said about it.

SPEAKER_03 1:28:49

Wax eloquently about the kinks, and I'll look pleasantly towards you while you do.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:53

Well, the kinks, I got a little bit of a personal relationship with the kinks. Um, first of all, I didn't know the kinks as well. Oh, hi.

SPEAKER_03 1:29:02

Is this a pleasant look?

SPEAKER_01 1:29:03

It's very pleasant. It's a little too pleasant. I was thinking of kinks. Um so I uh I don't know the kinks as well as I thought I did. Like I've listened to a lot of kinks, but the kinks have a huge career. Um they were like one of the four biggest British invasion bands with the Who and I always never knew they were that old.

SPEAKER_03 1:29:26

I always assumed the Kinks were from the 80s. I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 1:29:29

Well, they but but well they were though. That's the thing. Like they were still for as like tumultuous as the relationship. But I thought they were an 80s band. For the most part. Um like exclusively.

SPEAKER_03 1:29:41

Yeah, like they came out in the 80s, is what I thought. No, based on almost nothing, though.

SPEAKER_01 1:29:46

Gotcha. Well, they got an 80s sound, like they were definitely I mean, Van Halen was certainly influenced by the Kinks. Um so like that's just one of a billion groups. Like, there's so many fanboys and girls over Waterloo Sunset specifically.

SPEAKER_03 1:30:03

Oh, really?

SPEAKER_01 1:30:04

Yeah, Waterloo Sunset is considered to be like they didn't even chart in the US from what I can find. It only got number two. It only got number two, and I'm trying to remember the song that was that knocked it off, but uh in the UK. So it's really like but a lot of people consider it to be like a sleeper hit. Yeah, I mean number two on the billboards is more than a sleeper, but it's but yeah, it's it's definitely a song that you you hear it and you're like it's a song that I I feel I don't mean to want to romanticize it too much, but it is close to a perfect pop song if there is one.

SPEAKER_03 1:30:38

Totally.

SPEAKER_01 1:30:39

And it's one of those songs that I just don't think if you've heard it once or twice, you're ever gonna forget that you did when you heard a second or third time. You're gonna be like, yeah, I've heard this song before. Because it's so memorable. It's so memorable. Like I I don't know. I mean, do you do you know the music well enough to be able to talk about what's going on there?

SPEAKER_03 1:30:58

Like a like a what Well, it's in E. And then it spends some time in the minor, too. The F sharp minor.

SPEAKER_01 1:31:08

Oh, yeah. Uh-huh. I love that little walk.

SPEAKER_03 1:31:10

But then it takes it where it's the F sharp major, which is a borrowed five and five.

SPEAKER_01 1:31:18

So when it goes chili chili.

SPEAKER_03 1:31:21

Do you know what my favorite part of the song is?

SPEAKER_01 1:31:26

I'm gonna say it's is it the uh It's the chili chili part.

SPEAKER_03 1:31:29

Oh it is? Yes.

SPEAKER_01 1:31:31

Speaking of things that invade my brain, Sandra Boynton. And we're what I always want to say, chili chili is the winter time or belly button time. There's a book we used to read to my daughter about belly buttons.

SPEAKER_03 1:31:46

It's called the belly button book. It's a pretty Sandra Boyton's pretty bomb. If you have children and you haven't gotten any Sandra Boynton books, you're missing out.

SPEAKER_01 1:31:52

What's the the puppy, the the cookie or the oh, you're my puppy something. You sing it all the time. It's really cute. Snuggle puppy. Snuggle puppy. That's a great song.

SPEAKER_03 1:32:01

It is. That's from either Philadelphia Chickens or Rhinoceros Tap. She has two CDs.

SPEAKER_01 1:32:06

Man, maybe we should produce a Boynton episode.

SPEAKER_03 1:32:10

Okay, so it I love the chili chili. I love that little line. Plus, can you think of any other song in the world that says chili chili twice? It's not a child song.

SPEAKER_01 1:32:24

That's a good point.

SPEAKER_03 1:32:25

Chili chili?

SPEAKER_01 1:32:26

I'm sure probably a TLC song.

SPEAKER_03 1:32:30

It doesn't count. But really, though. Chili chili. It's so sweet.

SPEAKER_01 1:32:41

It is. It's a fun word to sing.

SPEAKER_03 1:32:43

Yeah. And it's like the p the song sounds like what it is. I don't even know what that means.

SPEAKER_01 1:32:49

Hmm. Well, I mean, I feel like if I if I was so it was originally, do you know anything about how like the lyrics?

SPEAKER_03 1:32:57

Tell me. Um is Waterloo a place?

SPEAKER_01 1:33:01

Yes. Well, Waterloo is a place. But what he's actually seeing. It's it is. They make some of the best grape seltzer.

SPEAKER_03 1:33:12

They do.

SPEAKER_01 1:33:12

Anytime I see grape seltzer, water.

SPEAKER_03 1:33:16

If you guys want to send Rob something to our P.O. box, Waterloo Grape Seltzer.

SPEAKER_01 1:33:20

Yeah. When I get when I have a hundred accumulated, that will be enough. Until then, please keep sending.

SPEAKER_03 1:33:26

Never be. That would be twelve hundred.

SPEAKER_01 1:33:29

Or eight hundred, depending on the phone.

SPEAKER_03 1:33:31

Oh, I thought there was twelve in a pack.

SPEAKER_01 1:33:32

There's eight sometimes too. Depends on your your store, I suppose. But uh it's hard to find. It's usually cleaned out at our local Walmart. Okay, I bet I got another. There's probably somebody else up to my scheme.

SPEAKER_03 1:33:44

Remember last time we went to the pig, they had some. We need to check the pig out.

SPEAKER_01 1:33:47

I should. I should. Um what was I about to say? Waterloo. Oh, you asked about Waterloo. It is a place in England. That's not what they're talking about. They're talking about Waterloo Bridge in London, I believe.

SPEAKER_03 1:34:01

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:34:01

And so people jump from it. Well, uh, probably, but I I I don't actually know. Um, it was originally going to be called Liverpool Sunset, but the Beatles just did Penny Lane because they're like the um and he just thought it was another it doesn't need another song about Liverpool. And he also wanted to tie it, he being Ray, Davies wanted to tie it to his uh kind of a childhood memory he had when he had like he got a tracheotomy for some reason. He was in the hospital, and he couldn't do anything, but he would they they take him out to Waterloo Bridge or buy it, and he'd just watch the sunset and he felt just at peace.

SPEAKER_03 1:34:38

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 1:34:39

Um and then it's like then you also have stuff about so that's the Waterloo Connection. That's that's what I could find about it.

SPEAKER_03 1:34:48

Um You just made me think about the underwater connection and WH House.

SPEAKER_01 1:34:55

You just made me think about Burlington Coat Factory.

SPEAKER_03 1:34:57

Oh more than Great Coats.

SPEAKER_01 1:34:59

More than Great Coats. Um gosh, okay, no more commercials.

SPEAKER_03 1:35:03

SPEAKER_01 1:35:04

SPEAKER_03 1:35:10

I don't know. Franklin University. Franklin University, we're more than great coats.

SPEAKER_01 1:35:14

IXN or amusement for you.

SPEAKER_03 1:35:17

That's what it is.

Lyrics Meaning And Creep Vibes Debate

SPEAKER_01 1:35:18

Franklin University, we're more than great coats. Okay, okay, back on track. So uh do you what are you the vibe what kind of vibes do you get from this? Take me through the spectrum.

SPEAKER_03 1:35:33

Empty happiness.

SPEAKER_01 1:35:36

Okay. That's good, actually.

SPEAKER_03 1:35:39

Thank you.

SPEAKER_01 1:35:40

No, I I get creep vibes from it.

SPEAKER_03 1:35:46

I like the guy's creepy, like they're creeping.

SPEAKER_01 1:35:48

Yeah, like I get this is a dude not creep, like necessarily gonna hurt somebody, but the kind of guy you're like, he's your neighbor, and you don't want to be mean to him. You know he's a nice guy.

SPEAKER_03 1:36:00

And they put a fence on the holy crap.

SPEAKER_01 1:36:02

But well, I figured this is a guy, like a shut-in, who sits in his in his house. Oh, I'm gonna step on my soundtrack. That's fine. Rear window of uh Hitchcock, which I actually have not seen the whole thing. Um I know Simpson spoofed it, but it's uh Jimmy uh what's his face, your your granddad?

SPEAKER_03 1:36:23

Uh Stewart. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:36:25

I think I think that's who it is.

SPEAKER_03 1:36:26

My grandfather is not Jimmy Stewart. Somebody who's education.

SPEAKER_01 1:36:29

Who's it who's in his somebody who's yeah, who's in his room and just watching people like he's watching Terrence and Julie as if he's in a relationship with them, and he's like, Terrence and Julie watch over, they go they're on the bridge where they feel safe and sound. I'm so lazy. Like, I get the feeling he's like, oh no, guys, I can't come out tonight. You go ahead though.

SPEAKER_03 1:36:54

So that I can sit down.

SPEAKER_01 1:36:55

But they have no idea who we actually are.

SPEAKER_03 1:36:57

Right, right. And he has a whole narrative that they are not part of.

SPEAKER_01 1:37:01

Yes. Yes, and I haven't been able to find that that is part, that that is what he wanted you to think, but I can't help but based on like some of the other songs that he wrote, like how we thought the Art Institute was for human trafficking.

SPEAKER_03 1:37:16

It can't just be a nice song about a little boy in a wheelchair.

SPEAKER_01 1:37:20

It can. It can, and it might be, and a lot of people have that connection. I'm sure if I lived, if I actually had seen a Waterloo Sunset, I'm sure I'd be incredibly moved by this song. Especially since I am moved by it. It's a beautiful song.

SPEAKER_03 1:37:34

It sounds like it's painting.

SPEAKER_01 1:37:37

I think a lot of And my dad is a huge Kinks fan, so I kind of have like I know that he loves this song. Yeah. So this song is wonderful, but the part of the reason I like the Kinks is because they have so many songs that are like creepy and satirical and very like Shell Silverstein, Rawl Dahl kind of like well-respected man.

SPEAKER_03 1:37:59

There's a Roll Dahl podcast. I don't know if you've really yeah, it's like the secrets of Roll Dahl. I started listening to that. Oh, okay. Put that back at the top.

SPEAKER_01 1:38:05

Sumption corner, yeah. Run it. Stop the presses. Um so, anyways, I I love I actually love that about this. No, he says that it's Terry and Julie, like Terrence Stamp and Julie Christie.

SPEAKER_03 1:38:20

You and your you've I just don't know who taught you to say the you.

SPEAKER_01 1:38:23

SPEAKER_03 1:38:42

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 1:38:42

This is about Superman 2, basically. Yeah, basically. This is Lex, uh Lex's um origin story. He's he'd sit there, kind of like Unbreakable, sort of.

SPEAKER_03 1:38:54

In his wheelchair. Yeah. Watching Superman fly over General Zod.

SPEAKER_01 1:39:01

He's scheming. So yeah, Waterloo Sunset is basically it's a DC origin story. But um, do you listen to any covers of it?

SPEAKER_03 1:39:09

No, I did not.

SPEAKER_01 1:39:11

I did.

SPEAKER_03 1:39:12

Tell me about them.

SPEAKER_01 1:39:13

I'd love to geek out on the guitar sound and all that stuff, but that we talked about the music a lot. It's there's lots to say, and lots of people have commented. Um David Gilmore is a huge fan of this song from uh Pink Floyd. We were we just talked about Pink Floyd, didn't we?

SPEAKER_03 1:39:29

Yes, because we were talking about the Wizard of Oz.

SPEAKER_01 1:39:31

The Wizard of Oz.

SPEAKER_03 1:39:33

Oz.

SPEAKER_01 1:39:35

Okay, I listened to Andrew Byrd, who is like a fiddle player, and uh he played with the guitar player, but he did that like unison.

SPEAKER_03 1:39:45

Oh, like octave.

SPEAKER_01 1:39:47

Well, you tell me like George Benson's like the master of this, where he will sing.

SPEAKER_03 1:39:51

Singing his solo.

SPEAKER_01 1:39:52

Yeah, like scatting on the singing the solo while playing.

SPEAKER_03 1:39:55

Yeah, that's crazy.

SPEAKER_01 1:39:56

He did that with a fiddle. That's why it was very cool. It was I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 1:39:59

Andrew Bird sounds familiar. Is he a famous person?

SPEAKER_01 1:40:02

He's famous enough that I didn't spoiler, I do not have a nobody award. I was gonna give it to Andrew Bird. He had the I'll give it to us. Yeah, we get this one.

Oh a version of that, and it was it was it was it was cool. And they did a version of this that was really nice. I'd actually I actually meant to send it to you. Um there was one with Peter Gabriel, and he was it it was very, very different, no drums. It was all orchestral or orchestral, if you'd like.

SPEAKER_03 1:40:50

If you're a whale.

SPEAKER_01 1:40:55

But it had a lot of French horn in it. Oh and I not to brag, know what a French horn sounds. I know. It sounds just like Gummy Bears.

SPEAKER_03 1:41:03

Oh my gosh, bouncing here and there and everywhere.

SPEAKER_01 1:41:05

Or what's the uh Beatles song? And don't we also have a daughter who plays this French horn?

Bowie to Bowie. Bowie to Bowie. Uh, do you know, do you ever listen to Elliot Smith?

SPEAKER_03 1:41:28

I feel like you would like Elliot Smith. Okay. He's another guy. He's got he's like Rick Steves.

SPEAKER_03 1:41:38

You can't like him.

SPEAKER_01 1:41:39

No.

SPEAKER_01 1:42:00

She was pretty cool. She reminded me of like if what was the song Love Fool? Or Love Soul? The Cardigans? Yeah. It was a Love Fool. Yeah, yeah. From The Cardigans.

SPEAKER_03 1:42:09

From the Bromeo and Juliet soundtrack.

SPEAKER_01 1:42:10

It kind of got it had it was from that era. So just imagine if they did.

SPEAKER_03 1:42:15

Did she have like butterfly clips in a cropped cardigan sweater?

SPEAKER_01 1:42:18

I think she did.

SPEAKER_03 1:42:19

Um, I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 1:42:22

No, she might have. She looked like she looks like somebody who might rock a butterfly clip.

SPEAKER_03 1:42:26

Like a late 90s.

SPEAKER_01 1:42:27

But Ray Davies was actually in Dray or Dave was driving her around London in that in that video. So but it was pretty good. Actually, I kind of liked it.

SPEAKER_04 1:42:37

That's neat.

SPEAKER_01 1:42:37

Um The Jam. That'd be basically like they were like uh almost like almost like if the if the like 70s, 80s kind of punkier version of the Kinks did their own song. That would be like what the jam did. That's cool. Yeah. Um, you got Annie McKay and the metaphors from uh you got Def Leppard did a version of it. I no I don't like Def Leppard, I just don't. I I they're catchy, I get why people like them. They got some sort of they got this like new metal staleness to them that just like doesn't sit right with me. I can't quite lock into them.

SPEAKER_03 1:43:12

I've never stopped them with it.

SPEAKER_01 1:43:13

I don't know. Uh sorry, all Def Leopard fans. Uh Ethan Hawke, we'll stop with him.

SPEAKER_03 1:43:19

Wow.

SPEAKER_01 1:43:20

Not great.

SPEAKER_03 1:43:20

No, no, I didn't I don't think he's a great singer.

SPEAKER_01 1:43:23

It wasn't great. Like I was like, oh, cool, it's gonna be, but it was just wasn't good. Like, and some of it wasn't even his fault. Like the actual, like the changes and the like the just none of it, it just wasn't good. It wasn't a good version of it at all. So I'll have to I want to listen to that. Shame on everybody involved in that. Because what I was gonna say was what I was gonna say was every other until I listened to that one, that might have been what I went out on. Up until that point, I was like, I don't think you can screw up Waterloo Sunset because it's just that good of a song. Like, as long as you can tell what it is, it's gonna hit. And then Ethan Hawk had to show up and freaking ruin things for me.

SPEAKER_03 1:44:01

All right.

SPEAKER_01 1:44:02

Anything else you want to say about it?

SPEAKER_03 1:44:03

Well, are you ready to talk covers and soundtracks and B-Sax?

Covers We Loved And Final Picks

SPEAKER_01 1:44:06

Oh, yeah, that's well, that's what that was my my segue.

SPEAKER_03 1:44:09

Oh, yeah. All right.

SPEAKER_01 1:44:10

Although I do want to say, you know what, I did find quotes that people said about it.

SPEAKER_03 1:44:13

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:44:14

The most beautiful song in the English language was a Robert Christgal, a critic, wrote that. Possibly the most beautiful song of the rock and roll era, Stephen Thomas Erlwin said that. Uh Pete Townsend from The Who said Divine, a masterpiece.

SPEAKER_03 1:44:30

Okay, I'll accept that.

SPEAKER_01 1:44:32

Um David Gilmore said, when asked what song he wished he'd written, he named Waterloo Sunset. Uh Jimi Hendrix told Ray at Jimi Hendrix is like, Jimi Hendrix apparently has talked to every rock star who's ever lived.

SPEAKER_03 1:44:48

Even though he wasn't alive for very long.

SPEAKER_01 1:44:50

If you look up anything on like Reddit or Quora or anything, it's always like, this is the band that Jimi Hendrix said. Like he talks, he's got comments on Z Z Top. He's got comments on um.

SPEAKER_03 1:45:02

He wasn't even very old when he died, right?

SPEAKER_01 1:45:04

No, no, he's 27.

SPEAKER_03 1:45:06

Yeah, how he didn't wasn't alive long enough. This is AI B S.

SPEAKER_01 1:45:10

I do think he, I mean, he was definitely around. I mean, he started as a session player, but um, anyways. But um getting off topics, but um But what did he say about it though? Oh uh sorry, he said, Man, I love your tune. And then he played the riff right there in the corridor with his left hand. So like he said, I loved it, and then he actually started playing it, like the riff.

SPEAKER_03 1:45:31

Like, see how much I loved it. I play it.

SPEAKER_01 1:45:33

I know it. I know it. But I also want to play Peter Frampton, even though it hasn't come out yet. Hey, do you like Neil Sadaka? You like Calendar Girl? Okay. Neil Sadaka.

SPEAKER_03 1:45:46

All right, let's do it. It's my favorite part of the music talking. Let me find my who do you want to hear cover it?

SPEAKER_01 1:45:56

Oh, I want to find where I wrote down who I want to hear covering it. Um You don't know? Well, I I I so there is somebody I want to hear covering it.

SPEAKER_03 1:46:12

But I also have 40 that I don't want to hear.

SPEAKER_01 1:46:14

I can't remember if this is the one I wanted to settle on.

SPEAKER_03 1:46:16

Oh, wait a water.

SPEAKER_01 1:46:18

You know what? Yeah. So I heard uh Hank, I heard Hank Marvin do it, who's uh he did an instrumental, he's from the shadows. I heard Def Leopard do it. Def Leopard do it. I actually did like some of what they were doing. There's I don't completely hate Def Leopard. There's some stuff I do like. I like the rock version of it kind of. It's just a little too, whatever, a little too Def Leopard. But then uh Bowie, he was super electro guitar heavy. So I'd like to hear an electric guitar British rock band that could really go off and do some stuff, but also do it justice in singing. So I'd like to hear Bebop Deluxe do it. Oh Bill Nelson. We have you listened to Bebop Deluxe?

SPEAKER_03 1:47:00

Yeah, with you.

SPEAKER_01 1:47:01

Yeah. I really love Bebop Deluxe. They're if they're like the uh people under the stairs of rock and roll. Extremely underrated. Um what about you?

SPEAKER_03 1:47:12

Well, can you guess mine? Because I've been listening to them a lot lately.

SPEAKER_01 1:47:16

You've been listening to them a lot lately.

SPEAKER_03 1:47:20

It's the Arctic monkeys.

SPEAKER_01 1:47:22

Oh, I could have guessed that.

SPEAKER_03 1:47:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:47:24

That'd be great.

SPEAKER_03 1:47:25

It would be.

SPEAKER_01 1:47:26

Yeah. It's very, I mean, you could because they were kind of heavier of those groups, of like the what, like the strokes and like that, those early 2000s.

SPEAKER_03 1:47:36

Yeah, I often wonder why, because we have that great playlist that we listen to at the beach. And I feel like Arctic Monkeys should have been making more of an appearance on that.

SPEAKER_01 1:47:44

They got a lot of songs, but I don't know I don't know how many songs how many songs I think are hits just because I'm familiar with them, because like Pandora feeds them to me. Yeah. Or if it's because they were actually getting a lot of radio play. Because I can't remember when they were kind of in a place where I was listening to a lot of digital media as much as I was like terrestrial radio, when they were kind of getting big. So I don't know how much of their songs are actually hits, but I do like them. They'd be great.

SPEAKER_03 1:48:11

Um yeah, that's mine, Arctic monkeys.

SPEAKER_01 1:48:16

If you know what I would I sorry, there is one other person.

SPEAKER_03 1:48:21

Who?

SPEAKER_01 1:48:22

Who Earl Clue. Oh so Earl Clue, my favorite version. And can I just roll onto my B-side? Yes. My favorite version um of Laughter in the Rain by Neil Sadaka is a Earl Clue cover where he just plays all the melody on his guitar. It's an instrumental. I would like to hear him do the same for Waterloo Sunset. He's got a song called Santiago Sunset.

SPEAKER_03 1:48:47

Is that your B-side?

SPEAKER_01 1:48:48

It's beautiful. No, my B side is Laughter in the Rain by Neil Sadaka.

SPEAKER_03 1:48:54

So sorry. Did you say that?

SPEAKER_01 1:48:56

I think I did. Maybe not. Um okay. Cover cover B Bob Deluxe. I was gonna go with Earl Clue. Yeah, but I was gonna change it to Earl Clue.

SPEAKER_03 1:49:08

Okay, but then and then B side is has to be a different song.

SPEAKER_01 1:49:11

It's Laughter in the Rain, Neil Sadaka.

SPEAKER_03 1:49:13

Alright.

SPEAKER_01 1:49:14

Yeah, we'll do that.

SPEAKER_03 1:49:16

Okay. Then your My B side is holiday by Weezer. Your Holiday in the Sun. What's that song called? Uh is it?

SPEAKER_00 1:49:28

Island in the Sun. Island in the Sun. Like it's not a holiday in the sun.

SPEAKER_03 1:49:32

Is that hip hip?

SPEAKER_00 1:49:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:49:33

Yeah, that's what I want. Yes, that's what I want.

SPEAKER_01 1:49:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:49:37

We need to do Weezer song.

SPEAKER_01 1:49:39

That's a good idea. I like it. It's it follows the theme.

SPEAKER_03 1:49:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:49:43

I thought about Well Respected Man, like a kink song.

SPEAKER_03 1:49:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:49:46

Just because that whole kind of put me in the thought process of like a of the creep? Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:49:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:49:52

But I love that song too. Um what's your soundtrack?

SPEAKER_03 1:49:57

It's uninspired.

SPEAKER_01 1:49:58

I've already kind of Blown mine there.

SPEAKER_03 1:50:00

Uh Teeny Bopper Beach Movie crap.

SPEAKER_01 1:50:04

Just j just that whole Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:50:06

There's actually a Disney movie called Beach Movie, I think.

SPEAKER_01 1:50:08

Oh. But I'm Beach Party? Is it Beach Party?

SPEAKER_03 1:50:13

I'm pretty sure. Remember there was um high school musical?

SPEAKER_01 1:50:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:50:17

And after that they came out with one called like Beach Party or something like that.

SPEAKER_01 1:50:22

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:50:23

Kind of tongue in cheek, I think.

SPEAKER_01 1:50:26

So you would like it, would it be a British one?

SPEAKER_03 1:50:28

But I was gonna say it would be more I would like for it to be on more of a teen beach, like maybe a psychological thriller teenager beach movie.

SPEAKER_01 1:50:38

Whoa. It sounds like you just really want to watch a psychological thriller teenager beach movie.

SPEAKER_03 1:50:42

How did you want?

SPEAKER_01 1:50:45

But you want Waterloo Sunset to be kind of like what when you hear this song, you think of a teenage psychological.

SPEAKER_03 1:50:52

I I feel like it could well you're the one who just said it was like a creepy stalker song. It is, I know.

SPEAKER_00 1:50:57

It's just that's great.

SPEAKER_03 1:50:58

But there's like some hollow happiness to the song to me, and I feel like it would fit in a place like where you're supposed to be having a great time, but something creepy is happening.

SPEAKER_01 1:51:08

But did you just did you just like realize that that's the angle you'd like to take it? Or what were you when you started with Disney Beach movie?

SPEAKER_03 1:51:16

I wasn't really wanting Disney Beach movie. I just wanted a teenager beach movie, but more of our drama than the Disney movie.

SPEAKER_01 1:51:22

More serious, more like OC. Is that is that teenage? The the LC.

SPEAKER_03 1:51:26

I never watched it.

SPEAKER_01 1:51:27

SPEAKER_03 1:51:29

SPEAKER_01 1:51:42

SPEAKER_03 1:52:03

But I didn't want it to be cheesy. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:52:05

But then I didn't know if at some point you're like, I do like the creepy element, so let's make this movie also a creepy movie.

SPEAKER_03 1:52:12

I maybe I did, you know. But I sound like I did.

SPEAKER_01 1:52:15

I was curious, it wasn't an accusation. If I'm sorry if it came out that way.
