  Speaker 1: Also joining us from the successful podcast Bad Movies Rule
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: is our old buddy James House or James, how you doing.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: I'm great, And you stole our intro there by calling
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: yourself the worst podcast ever, So that's our thing.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: We're fighting you for that title right now.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Maybe we're the worst audio podcast, the most illiterate.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: I'm very excited to be here with you guys. I
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: had a lot of fun doing that first bracket, and
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: I've been very angry by things that have transpired since
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: I'm here to hopefully right some wrongs that have happened.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Okay, well good. I'm glad. I mean, I'm not glad
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: that you're angry, but I'm glad that you are willing
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: to share your opinion here on what went wrong, because
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I'm not exactly happy with what transpired the last episode either.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: We went on the fails.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: And then finally from the Other Murders Row podcast, from
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the Totally Eighties and Nineties Recall podcast, it's our buddy
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: from Washington, always willing to join us, serial killer Daves.
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: So that's a new nickname, but thank you for having
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: me back. Very excited to join these esteemed other guests.
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: I don't know if the three of us have been
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: together on anything before, so this is a first. Also,
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: very excited to talk to Jim this week about Jim
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: in the Hallgram. It's going to be a tough road
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: for them, I think, but it might be a little competitive.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: Hopefully they can get in there, right Jim.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: They are not in there, and I know that, and
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I think you know that.
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: My frustration with that hold on I'm checking my notes,
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: it says don't talk to Jim about jes.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: So. So the reason why I nicknamed you serial Killer
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Dave is because the last time you were on the show,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: you were talking about if you were a cigaret killer,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: you would play the Rainbow Bright or was it Strawberry Shortcake?
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: It was Strawberry Shortcake.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: The Strawberry Shortcake theme song.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Wasn't it, Dave?
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: I think it was the Rainbow Bright one. It sounded crazy,
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: And yeah, it would have worked well for pre any
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: kind of serial killer actions, I would say.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: And since you're from that area, you know where all
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the famous ones have have done their business, you know,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: it just fits.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: It's all right, Well, it's very it's very rainy and
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: depressing up here, so people get sad and then they
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: just start killing people.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: All right, So let's get started on on how it
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: has transpired so far. Lindsey, I'll let you go first.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: What are you most upset about that didn't make it
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: here to the final late or maybe that took place
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: in earlier rounds?
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Oh you know Mumpet Babies.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Mumpet Babies was upset last episode by Transformers, And so.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: I feel like we lost our way a little bit
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: last episode, and I would like a do over.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, we can go back and do that episode
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: right now with these three, I know, right, So I
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: have to ask.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know how we have the finals and we
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: don't have the Muppet Babies Like I it just blows
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: my mind.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know, So let's ask our panel then, Dave,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: I'll start with you, because I'm pretty sure Muppet Babies
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: was one of your picks. What are your thoughts on
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Transformers beating out Muppet Babies.
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: I like Muppet Babies. I think it's I was really
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: young when it came out, so I just have a
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: nostalgia for it. But it's tough. Transformers is a pretty
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: iconic classic cartoon as well, and the more than meet
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: Ci is that's tough. Like I'm upset. I'd rather see
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: hm up at Babies instead of like a Defenders of
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: the Earth. I don't know that happened, but if you're
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: matching up actually the best ones, I feel like how
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: that one slid in is an interesting It's like, you know,
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: right state or something just jumped on the board. But
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: other than that, yeah, Transformers good, it's tough. You know,
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: that was a I would say of the ones you
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: guys did, that was a tough one.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: So okay, James, uh, he just attacked your Defenders of
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the Earth. That was one of one of your songs
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: on your initial episode, So so you have any retort?
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, look that song rips man. If you listen
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: to it. There's a guy that sounds like Jack Black
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: singing this incredible rock song about you know, space magicians
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: and what's not to like?
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: And what are your thoughts on Transformers being out them
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: up at babies?
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: It's Transformers is it's I feel like it's what happened
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: with g I Joe in the first episode. It's a
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: great nostalgic cartoon. The song's not that great.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Thank you? Uh, Jason, what are your thoughts on on
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Transformers beating out the Muppet babies?
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: I got no problems with Transformers beating out the up babies.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I figured you would.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So Jason, as you looked over the brackets that
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I had that I had previously sent, and I know
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: that you're a faithful listener of the show, so you
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: listen to everything. Yeah what what? Uh? What stuck out
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: to you? Or what were what were you surprised by
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: or disappointed by? Or I know James is coming angry
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: and hot later on. So was there anything that that
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: just fueled your fire here?
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: The biggest one that I had a problem with was
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: G I Joe. G I Joe got a hold of
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: the hot silver Hawks team who was just pounding threes
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: from behind the arc and they just couldn't do anything
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: about it. But to me, G I Joe is an
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: iconic one that needed to be at least in the
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Sweet sixteen and just couldn't get there. So that one
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: bothered me. And the fact that Scrappy Dooo beat anything
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: was the other upset. So so that's where I am.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: I I got no problems with. I think we've got
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Duke in Carolina and you know we've got we've got
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: some big hitters left. I think we're we've got a
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: good you know, we've got the final eight we need
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: minus G I Joe. Maybe.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: So, which one of these songs that you see here
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: is the Oklahoma of the group?
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I'd say Defenders of the Earth. You know,
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: they kind of we're happy to be here and you
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: know we're going to do the best we can say.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: So you know, all right, Dave, obviously you you weren't
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: happy that Defenders of the Earth made it, But what
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: did you hear that that you didn't like or what
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: did you see that you didn't like?
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: Well, last week there was something going on with a
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: Popeye song that was pretty terrible the last episode, So
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: I don't know what happened there. I'm happy it didn't
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: end up in the end of here, but the fact
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: I would echo the scrappy do thing, the fact that
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: won anything, I'm not sure. I just got to say,
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: last the last episode, you had just felt a little
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: upside down. As she alluded to at the beginning. I
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: think I was on a couple episodes ago we pretty
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: much went chok, so kind of the ones that were
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: there that were the best songs. So, but I'm not
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: too mad about any of it. I make a little
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: fun of Defenders of the Earth, but it does it's
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: a better song than some of the other ones. So,
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: for the most part, most of the songs that I
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: would have thought would have been here or I would
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: have liked to have seen, are here. I guess Gi
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: Joe's another one. It's pretty nostalgic. I think it's a
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: little it's a little cheesier now that I'm, you know,
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: fifty years old than it was when I was ten.
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: But you know, definitely go back and you can look
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: AT's like eighties Reagan propaganda, like, hey, everybody, you know America's.
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: Heard me?
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: All right, all right, James, James, I know you've been
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: waiting weeks, maybe even months, to let some certain people
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: have it. So yeah, you go ahead. What has grinded
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: your gears? As Peter Griffin would.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: Say, there's the well there's two. I'll be the more
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: minor one first. But the fact that you guys tossed
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: aside Ghostbusters because they just use the movie song was
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: crazy because how many times have we said her and said, well,
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: they already had this great song, Why did they make
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: a new one. They should have just gone with what
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: already worked. And then in this case, they did that
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: and they were tossed aside for it. The Ghostbusters song
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: should have wrecked shop in that bracket. It's an iconic song. Now,
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: that's the more minor one. I'm willing to let that go.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: But what is a travesty. What I feel I need
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: to stand on business right now and defend is what
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: all of you guys did to Chippendale's rescue rangers.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: What what all you guys said.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: That that should not stand, That that should be I've
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: never yelled at my speakers while I was driving before,
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: and that was horrible what you guys all did to Chippendale.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: That song absolutely rips and should be here in the
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: final eight.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Okay, so allow me to retort Chippendale is it's an
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: awesome song. But it went up against duck Tails in
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: the Sweet sixteen that Ducktails was our obviously number one
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: overall seed. Almost every person that I reached out to
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: pick Ducktails as one of their top four, and so
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: that's what happened. It wasn't that they weren't deserving. They
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: just ran into a buzzsaw.
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: I think it's a better song than Ducktails. I think
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: it should have beat Ducktails. Real Ducktails gets. I think
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: Ducktails gets all the love, and rightfully so it's a
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: great song. And it's the same people that wrote both songs.
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: If I'm right, I think I'm right. I think you're right,
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: and so they would have been represented either way. But
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: I think it's the better of the two songs. Personally.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Does anybody else feel that way?
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: I do, No. I think I think duck Chase it better.
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: My name is a better song. Ducktails came first. They
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: basically based the Chippendale song off the Ducktail song after
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: they already had it, because like you said, same crewe,
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: They're like, hey, that worked, let's just do it again.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: And I'm not saying it.
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: I'm not saying it's not a catchy song, but maybe
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: if someone had seated these different it could have gone
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: into a different area where it could have actually beaten
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: out like a Popeye and all these other ones that
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: made further They were terrible songs, but he decided let's
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: throw it up against Ducktails, knowing it was gonna die
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: a slow death and whatever round those ran into each other.
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: So I blame I blame the seating committee on this
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: one premature exit.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: The the the seating committee was all of you guys,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: So feel free to blame all of you guys. Uh
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: that that wrote in for your top four and David,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: I even gave you eight because I couldn't get four
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: from certain people, so I even gave you eight. I'm
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: gonna say this, the Chippindale's the Ductails and then Chippendale
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: doing it, you know, same group doing it afterwards. Is
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: kind of like the guy who wrote full House and
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: then basically made the same thing for that Racle Show
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: family matters.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: They're not very similar. They're not.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Very very similar.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Are they are very similar? You wouldn't think so, But
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: if you listen to them, they are.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: That's why she's the best colored person in the business, folks.
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: I would never argue with.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Lindsay yea, exactly, you're a smart man, James, because I
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: have chosen to and because of that, she has given
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: me cancer.
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: I would say too. Nostalgia might rule on that because
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: I didn't listen to Chipendale's Rescue Rangers as much because
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: he came a little after Ducktails. Ducktails, I was still
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: young enough I'd listened to that song several times. That's
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: the one that got stuck in my head. Chipendale's I
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: kind of heard Once in a Blue Moon, because by
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: the time that came out, I'm in junior high, eighth
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: grade or whatever it is, and I'm just not watching
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: Chipendale anymore. So I didn't have maybe the same connection.
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: So I'm not saying one's maybe a better song to
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: the other. But when I put him side by side
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: and just listen to him, my first inclination is to
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: go with Ducktails because my brain goes, hey, I like
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: that since I was younger, So it's fair.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, fair, I agree. I think they are both excellent songs.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: So it is a shame that they matched up so early.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: You know. And just like we had last year, we
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: have regrets and I wish that I could go back
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: and change it, but I can't. With that being said,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: I've got one bone to pick here, and that was
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: and Dave, you've brought up the all New Popeye Hours
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: several times this episode. Somehow that beat jim last thing
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: in the first round. Now, to me, Jim probably needs
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: to have made the Sweet Sixteen and probably lost out
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, although I probably would have
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: voted for Jim anyway, but that one really hacked me off.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: What do you think, Jason, I see a smile in there.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: Well, I think that it's I think you like him
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: because your name is Jim.
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: That's what I think.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: But there you go.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: It's got a song about him.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, Jim was cool and everything. I
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: can't say I've got strong feelings about it, but uh,
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: you know, I think we've got I think we're where
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: we should be, you know. Okay, we had some Cinderella
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: stories and that's fine, but we've got the grade eight.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: I think we're good.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: In hindsight, I probably messed up on the last episode.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: With that one with the vote for Popeye.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah all right, I probably.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: Well, Jim should have eaten their spinach, because I would
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: have picked Popeye if I was there.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: It wasn't the original Popeye. It was the crappy Popeye.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: That's the tricky part, right, if it was just you know, if.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: It was the original Popeye, I would have I wouldn't
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: have even argued, like I'd have been like, that's kind
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: of a bummer.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: But whatever is what happened the last episode. We should
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: have been talking about the songs, and we got our
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: feelings into it talking about well, I remember I watched
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: this and I liked watching this one, and we lost
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: sight of which theme song is the better song. So,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: in hindsight my mistake, Jim is the better theme song.
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: Well, and you Sean and his wife are agents of
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: chaos blowing up the world. I know you kind of
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: had to see that coming. Well, by the way, Jim
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: one quick retort to James on the Ghostbuster song, I
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: don't disagree that if they used the actual Ghostbust song
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: but they re recorded it and it doesn't sound exactly
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: the same. If you go listen to both of them,
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: the vocals on the cartoon one are just a little different.
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: I know Ray Parker Junior did it again, but he
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: changed a little bit the way he vocalized it, and
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: that's why I didn't. It didn't sound exactly the same.
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: It sounded much as the other one.
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: I want the other two percent.
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: So Ghostbusters should be here.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: It sounded it sounded like Ray Parker Junior was karaokeing
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: his own song.
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: It did one hundred percent. That's what I first thought
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: when I heard it.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: It's strong enough even without his voice. Just play the
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: music and it should win the tournament.
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: Oh okay, now it's.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: Actually James again.
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: There's some sort of collusion off screen between you two.
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: James makes a point, Jason goes, I agree, I mean,
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: I you.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Oh all right, Well it is time to get to
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: the matchups for tonight. We have a final light and
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: I think we have a fantastic final eight here, and
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: I think we've got some great matchups here. So our
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: first matchup is going to be our number one seed
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: from the Creatures Region, Alvin and the Chipmunks versus our
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: number three seed, Fraggle Rock the animated series another day.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: So Dave, I'll start with you when it comes to
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: these two songs. What do you got, uh?
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: Franko Rox It's a good song, good nostalgia to it.
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: But Albut and the Chipmunks. I said it when I
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: was on that podcast with when we pulled it through
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: to hear that's my childhood. I can sing that song
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: in my head. I love the way they do the
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: pop songs during the show. Alvin Simon Theodore. I grew
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: up on Alvin and the Chipmunks. I watched it every week.
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: So in this case, you know, we'll get to the
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: voting later. By Alvin Chipmunks very strong number one. I
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: think it's a tough road for frag O Rock for
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: me in this case.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: So Jason, what are your thoughts?
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: So I'm going to talk out of both sides of
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: my mouth for a second. So I'm glad frag O
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: Rock took the original theme song and rode it all
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: the way to the final eight. I think the same
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: thing should have happened with Ghostbusters, especially with Ray Parker
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: still on vocals. But they're running into a busaw here
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: with Alvin the Chipmunks. I just recently saw the Michael
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: Jackson movie, so I've been wearing out thriller and so
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: since PYT has been going around in my stereo a
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: little bit extra. The Chipmunks are really are really strong
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: this week. So it's gonna be tough for fragle Rock.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: James, what are your thoughts?
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: Well, look, Chipmunks have been selling albums since way before
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: fragle Rock was even a thing. I mean, it's an
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: iconic song. It's an iconic maybe what the world's first
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: boy band if we want to be honest here, Uh,
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: I think I think it's gonna be tough. But look,
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: I'm also a sucker for little muppets singing in mining
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: helmets too, so we'll see, Lensy.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: This is a hard one for me because I really
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: love both of them. My dilemma is the fact that
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: I look at Fraggle Raw not as the cartoon, but
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: as the whatever little muppets that they showed that they had.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: What were they muppets?
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah? They were like muppets.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: No, So I don't think about them as being a cartoon.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: So this is hard. This is a tough one. I Honestly,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know where I'm going right now.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So to me, this this is probably the toughest
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: one to choose from, although the last one that we
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: get to is gonna be pretty tough too. But like
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Dave said, like Alvin and the Chipmunks was my childhood,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Like that was Camp Miss Saturday Morning, Fragile Rock. You know,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: we loved it on HBO, and then they brought the
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: animated series out and I really like that too. It
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: was you know that and the Muppet Babies were big
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: time for me as well. So I don't know which
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: way I'm going here. So yeah, I think this is
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: This is the toughest match up by far, I believe.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: So with that being said, With.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: That being said, I guess let's uh, let's go ahead
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: to the vote.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, I just want to make up. I'm
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: going to make an appeal to you guys before official
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: voting starts, because oh yes, let's do that.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: I feel like some background music for this appeal.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: Guys. The Muppet Babies are gone. Who's going to carry
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: the torch for the Muppets? If not Fragle Rock. We
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: have a chance to ride or wrong here, and I
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: don't think we should let it slip by us.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: That's pretty good.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: All right, So James, since you made the appeal, I'll
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: let you vote.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: Vote first, I'm going to proudly plant my flag in
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: the rock of Fraggle Rock and say let's move him on.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Let's go wow, he said.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Jim Pinson deserves to be here.
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: Mh, Dave, I'm going with the world, as James said,
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: first boy band, it's Alvin Simon and Theodore. Come on,
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: Alvin Chipmunks. This isn't hard. Let's let's not over discuss it.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: Jason, Yeah, I'm I'm I'm with Dave on this. I
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: mean Alvin and the Chipmunks with their sped up voices.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: I love fragar Rock, I get it, But I mean
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: Alvin and the Chipmunks. They've got everything. They've got offense,
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: they've got defense, they got rebounding. It's it's Alvin and
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: the Chipmunks.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: They got rebounding it. Yeah, eight inches tall.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: They're a complete team.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Many are.
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: You know they're you know it's fake, right, you know
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: they don't have something like that. They just speed up.
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: It's like the mill of Rodents. They just speed up.
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: Some old guys vo.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: Now I really vote for him. If you're going.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Lindsey, oh man, I'm gonna go with the one that
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: taught me to spell chip Monks. It's Alvin. Alvin and
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: the Chipmunks. Sorry, I'm sorry, buddy.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: I am going to vote for Fragle Rock because it
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Alvin and the Chipmunks is going to move on.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: But I do think that the Muppets somehow deserve to
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: be ah represented in the final four, and now they're
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: not because well, you three hate life.
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: All these people complain about Muppet babies and here we
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: are murdering another set of muppets. Bumpet.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Uh well, I mean Dave didn't talk about being a
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: serial killer last time, so.
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: I didn't talk about it. I said, on the op
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: chance that that's the path I'd chosen, then that would
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: have been the example that I would have used. So
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: it's all hypotheticals.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. All right, So our next our next
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: matchup comes from the People region, which is funny because
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: we don't have people in either one of these two.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: We've got the number four seed Transformers versus the number
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: two seed teenage mutant Ninja Turtles. Jason, I'll start with
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: you this time. What are your thoughts on both songs?
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: And did you watch the cartoons, et cetera.
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: So to me, this is the toughest matchup. I think
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: I'm a little bit older than everybody, including you, Jim,
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: I think. But uh so, I do have nostalgia for
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: the Transformers like I don't have for you know, Defenders
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: of the Rasa but and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: like both songs. They're both catchy, they both have that
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: kind of it factor that you're looking for in a
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: cartoon theme song. So I like both. It's gonna be
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: one for me.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Lindsey, what are your thoughts?
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: This is not That's why I heard Jason say like,
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: this is a really difficult one for him, and it
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: made me think, well, do I not remember what these
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: sound like?
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: This is it?
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: Probably the easiest one for me? Well, maybe not the easiest.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: The Teenage Beating Ninja Turtles were the second half of
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: the eighties for me. It was just a staple in
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: my house on Saturdays. I loved it, and I enjoyed
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: the Transformers too in the first half of the eighties.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: And maybe that's where the discrepancy comes for me, is
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: the fact that Obviously my memory is going to be
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: better for later in the decade, but I don't really
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: think that there's any comparison.
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: All Right, James, robots can't eat pizza, Okay, so right there,
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: they're up against the eight ball as far as who cooler.
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: But I will say this, I was more of a
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: Gobot's kid, you know. I think we've said before, AKA
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: Transformers for poor people. That's kind of what I was
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: doing at my house. Not not so much into the Transformers,
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: but it's an iconic song for sure. Ninja Turtles. It's
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: Ninja Turtles should be in the in the last few
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: so I think I'm not to tip my hand. But
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: like when you said we're doing a cartoon tournament, one
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: of the first things I thought of was, well, Ninja
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: Turtles is going to eat so we'll see.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, Dave, what are your thoughts?
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah? Oh, by the way, James, I was I had
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: Transformers and go Bots. I had both so because I
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: would get Transformers from my parents, but my grandparents, because
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: they were a little stingier with their cash, they would
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: get me the go box. So they didn't know that
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: they were different. So I didn't break their heart. But anyway,
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: I think, like Jason, this is tough. I would say, yeah,
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: mu Ninja Turtles Again, I was I think I was
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: a little too old to watch the cartoon itself, but
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: every I knew every I knew the song, you knew
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: the whole thing, and then the movie came out later,
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: and so I was very in on knowing what the
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: Ninja Turtles were. The Transformers I used to really dig
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: when it did that sound with the like they when
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: they changed in the song, and I don't know, just
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: that it reminds me of being a kid. So in
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: this case, I'm just gonna have to evaluate the better
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: song and try not to let nostalgia on the toy
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: itself or the memory of that try to take over
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: in this case. So but but yeah, I'm a Jason.
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: I think it's I think it's tougher and it.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Looks so yeah, I agree. You know, we talked the
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: last time about how Transformers, how solidly built they were, Dave,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: and I want to know to ever drop either a
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Transformer or a go Bot on like your foot, because
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: the Transformer is probably gonna break a toe. The go
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: Bot probably isn't gonna make that big of a difference.
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: Well, as James. Yeah, as James will tell you, the
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: gobots broke pretty easy. You tryansform them twice and pretty
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: much something snaps off, so it didn't take too long.
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: The trick is just putting them on the shelf and
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: looking at them.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: Hey, I'll tell you the advantage that gobots had. Transformers
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: were big. You couldn't put those in your pocket and
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: take them to church. Gobots you could all day.
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: Yes, that.
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: Little the little gray fighter jet fighter jet.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: All the time.
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and the little helicopter guy.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Come on, all right, well, gentlemen, it is time to vote.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: So Lindsey, you kind of gave yours away, so I'm
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: gonna let you vote first. Who you're voting for.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: I'm voting for the euros and a half shell?
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: All right, turtles, Jason, who were you voting for?
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: This is a hard one because I think one of
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: the qualifying uh characteristics of a successful cartoon theme song
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: is can you sing the theme when you're not thinking
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: about cartoon theme songs? And I think both of these,
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: you know, Transformers more than meets the eye that comes
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: right off the tongue, and then the teenage mutant Ninja Turtle,
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: you know that, so, but I'm giving the edge to
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: Transformers because of what Dave said, that cool sound effect
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: as they transform in the theme song Transformers.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Okay, Dave, where are you going with this one?
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: Man? It's tough. I've been back and forth on this
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: one a couple of times, and you know, I don't
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: want nostalgia to rule the day. I want to try
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: to go with the best song. But they're both really
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: good songs, and I kind of agree with Jason that
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: they can both get stuck in my head. And I
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: was a Transformer's kid. I grew up on him. I
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: loved Optimus Prime. I love that thing that could also
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: play the tape, they could play my music. I loved
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: them all. So I think it's by like a basket
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: at the buzzer. But I'm gonna go with Transformers edging
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: out the Ninja Turtles.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: Okay. I I like Transformers too. That that theme song
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: did stick in my head, probably more so than Teenage
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: Mutant Ninja Turtles. But I was also a little bit
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: older when Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles came out. Uh. With
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: that being said, I just think that Teenage Mutant Ninja
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: Turtles is a better song. Even though Transformers gives me
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: more of the nostalgia feel. Uh So, I my vote
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: is going to go towards uh to teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: and that leaves James to break the.
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: Tie, of course it does.
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: My goodness, guys, I have one thing to say here.
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: This one's for Kermit and all those babies out there.
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: Teenage mutant Ninja Turtles.
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: Throw out a slice of pizza from uppy babies.
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: James with the Amphibian vote right there, He's got to
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: get one of them.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: In, all right. Well, so now we're moving on to
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: our next match up, which came from our alien robot region,
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: and this is the one that didn't have top seeds
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: in it other than I guess Inspector Gadget was a
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: four seed. So Inspector Gadget, it's our four seed going
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: up against our seven seed Defenders of the Earth.
• 35:28
  Speaker 6: Out of the Sky, his rockets ignite TETs into battle
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: life faster than night.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: Out of the Dungle, the hero stock he.
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: Called him brother the Gostar, master of magic.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: Spells and lusion.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: And so this one I think was the most surprising
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: one because g I Joe was the one seed and
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: it got pummeled by silver Hawks and silver all it's
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: pretty kind of awesome. But Defenders of the Earth went
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: through Sheira, went through gummy Bears and then went through ThunderCats.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: I believe.
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: So ThunderCats getting beaten by that, that's terrible. Gummy bears.
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: They bounce here, there, everywhere. I mean, what are you
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: gonna do so snack food that's a great song. You're
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: never gonna convince me that's not an awesome song.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: So lindsay, I'm gonna let you go first on this one.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: Inspector Gadget and Defenders of the Earth. I know you
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: loved Inspector Gadget.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: Okay, so I love Inspector Gadget. I don't think it's
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: the best theme song out there. I do think it
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: might be the best cartoon on this list now, But
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: theme song, I don't know. Defenders of the Earth I
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: think only made it this far because isn't this the
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: one that James said was Jack Black? Yes, I think
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: that's swayed the vote. James.
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: I think it's not my fault.
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: Sounds like him.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: I think if you hadn't have put that in people's minds,
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: this one, the Defenders of the Earth would have been
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: gone already, and so I don't. I don't know. I've
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: never even heard of Defenders of the Earth. I can't
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: vote for that. I don't even I've never even heard
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: of it. I still I walk around, I talk on
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: my watch every day and say, oh, I'm Inspector Gadget.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: Like I still I reference Inspector Gadget in my daily life.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: That's the impact that it had on me. I can't
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: vote I don't know for Jack Black.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: All right, James, I'm gonna allow you to defend yourself here.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: So I think that was a cheap shot.
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: I think what we did in that in that first episode,
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: we did a really good job of remembering that it's
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: about the song and not the cartoon.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, and you know what, Okay, I'm sorry,
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: I'm cutting you off. Oh see, this is what I do.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: All James's I cut all James is off. I think
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: that's why I may be mad at you, because you've
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: pointed something out that I don't want to hear. It's
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: about the theme song.
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's why G I Joe lost, Guys. G I
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: Joe is a terrible theme song. If you listen to it,
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: there's there's really nothing to it at all. It's like
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: I think g I. Joe is better than all of
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: these cartoons in that bracket, right, even Inspector Gadget. But
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: come on, Defenders of the Earth, if you're judging it
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: as a song, is a great song.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: It's so good.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: Uh, Jason, what are your thoughts on on these two?
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: Well?
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: As a faithful listener of your show, Jim, I'm a
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: big fan. I've heard all the love for Defenders of
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: the Earth, and up to this point, I have agreed
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: that it is a great theme song for a cartoon
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: I didn't even know existed. It's kind of like when
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: George Mason came out of nowhere a few years ago
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: to get to the Final Four. It's such a wonderful
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: story that I was all for it. But I can't
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: even say the words Inspector Gadget without trying to stop
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: myself from singing the theme song. So it's going to
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: be really, really a tall order for Defenders of the
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: Earth to get through this one.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: H Dave, what are your thoughts here?
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: I mean, I hate to echo it again, but I'm
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: a Jason Like until you did this spracket, I never
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: heard of Defenders of the Earth. I watched a lot
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: of cartoons. I never even knew this existed. On its face, Yes,
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: it's got strong lyrics and it's got a good rock
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: sound to it, so it's a good song. But if
• 40:02
  Speaker 5: I'm thinking of cartoons, and you know the first two
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: three that come in my head, I can see the
• 40:07
  Speaker 5: whole montage at the beginning of Inspector Gadget, I can
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: sing the song immediately. I just the helicopter hat, I mean,
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: all of it's there, and so yeah, tough for Defenders
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: of the Earth. I won't deny it's a good song.
• 40:21
  Speaker 5: I just don't have any connection for as far as
• 40:23
  Speaker 5: the cartoon goes on this one.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: So okay. So I also, even though I put this together,
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: I also don't believe that I had heard of Defenders
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: of the Earth, or if I did, it's way back
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: in the recesses of my memory. That doesn't like to
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: come out a lot.
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: And so.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: I was surprised right when I when I first heard it,
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: I'm like, this song isn't bad Inspector Gadget. I remember
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: that being on when I was a kid. I never
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: really watched it the theme song. When I did hear
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, Okay, I kind of remember this, but
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: I was listening to it again this week and Lindsay
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: always complains that songs without lyrics aren't really songs, and
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: Inspector Gadget doesn't have a whole lot of lyrics.
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: No, you know, no, So now for everything I.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: Say, yes, now you do, so I am going with
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: the Jack Black sound of Defenders of the Earth. That's
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: where my vote is going. Oh wow, James, I'm gonna
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: let you go next.
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: Now, Jim, I hope you didn't throw it to me
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: because you thought we're going to get off to a
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: two oh start here, because as much as I've loved
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: Defenders of the Earth, it's running into a buzzsaw here,
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: Inspector Gadget, because this song is iconic. It it's dramatic,
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: it builds, it starts off and then like it's crescendoing
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: by the end. You're like, yeah, let's accidentally solve some crimes.
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: But really, my niece is going to do it all.
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: I love Inspector Gadget. That's my vote.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: Oh my word, what you're upset that he voted for
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: Inspector Gadget.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: Yes, because he's he was pulling me to the dark side.
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: I was explaining. I was defending why it had gotten here,
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: not that it was should beat Inspector gag I feel.
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: He made such a valid strong point.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: So are you going to vote for Defenders of the Earth?
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: Then it goes against everything I believe in. Okay, if
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: Popeye makes it through just out of like how it
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: makes somebody feel, Inspector Gadget's gonna make it through too,
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: all right, Jason, looks.
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: Like you're standing alone on the top of that mountain.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: Jim, I'm sure I am.
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: Inspector Gadget. I agree with you. I think I've got
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: some categories. Like I rated each song according to three
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: different categories, and.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: What oh, I like this give me more?
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: Well? So category one is catchiness, like how catchy is
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: the song? Does it stick in your head? Can you
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: sing it after you've heard it? One of them is
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: show identity? Does it like tell you what you're getting
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: ready to watch? Does it explain the show and the
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: And the final category I put is X factor, so
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: like it does it rock or does it, you know,
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: do cool things with sped up voices? Or you know,
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: does it have cool sound effects?
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: Is there something extra that we can vote. So Inspector
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: Gadget blows the top off on catchiness and it doesn't
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: do a great job of explaining what the show is.
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: I'm kind of with lindsay on that it just just
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: says Inspector Gadget a hundred times mhm. But if you
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: watch the show, it allows you. It's kind of a
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: bed of clips for you to watch and be drawn in.
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: So anyway, I say all that to say, Defenders of
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: the Earth has done a great job. It's a great song.
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: It does explain the show better, but I mean, the
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: catchiness of Inspector Gadgets off the charts. So I'm going
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: to Inspector Gadget.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: All right, Dave, I'll let you speak, even though it's
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: a foregone conclusion. I'm pretty sure I know where you're
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: going on this one. Anyway.
• 44:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm very excited the chameleon down there are up
• 44:36
  Speaker 5: there for me from Wisconsin. I thought for sure he
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: was Defender's Ears, so good, you know, bait and switch
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: on us there, But I'm excited he came over to
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: the right side because it's go Gadget, go all day long.
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, all right, Well, Inspector Gadget's gonna move on,
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: and that's fine. I don't have a problem with that,
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: you know, I do have to say, Jason, I'm almost
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: brought to tears, and I don't know that I've ever
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: been more proud of a guest who came through with
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: I am breaking down categories to rate these theme songs
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: because that is totally something that I would do. Yet
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: I just do it for my own podcast.
• 45:16
  Speaker 5: Wouldn't this typically wear that nerdler button pops in or something?
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if we weren't trying to push James's show for
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: the worst podcast on the air, it would all right
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: our final matchup. And to me, this is a shame
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: that these two songs are matching up in the final eight.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: This is like nineteen ninety two when Duke met Kentucky
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: and that dirty rat Christian Lightner stomped on Was it
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: Jamal mash Now wasn't Jamal Mashburn's chest? If somebody else
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: Jamal Mashburn would have killed him. Ducktails are number one
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: seed from the animals region versus mask our number three
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: seed from the animals region.
• 46:09
  Speaker 7: I just like doct hurricane and ductburg rasas lasers airplanes
• 46:17
  Speaker 7: it's a duckler. Let's solve a mystery or reracket story.
• 46:25
  Speaker 7: Tell every day that in doctile, the tails.
• 46:34
  Speaker 6: Of tabs will get all the time see races. Who
• 46:57
  Speaker 6: will lit a last st Gonna leave the fish spas fos.
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: I watched Mask as a kid. I had the toys Ducktails.
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: I didn't watch so much because about the time it
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: came out, I was about thirteen fourteen, but it was
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: always on in the afternoon when I was getting home
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: from school, and that song was so darn CATCHI that
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: it's been stuck in my head for the last thirty
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: nine years. Like one of you guys said, even when
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: I'm not thinking of cartoon theme songs, this song stuck
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: in my head. But the mass song rocks. So to me,
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: this is by far the toughest matchup. And I still
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: don't know where I'm going with this one. And I
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: thought for sure at the beginning of the tournament, I
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: knew which way I would go, and now I'm stuck.
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: So Dave, I'll have you go next, because you were
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: one of those that voted for Mask, along with my
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: younger brother who happens to be exact your age, and
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: so I found that interesting. But what are your thoughts
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: on these two?
• 48:05
  Speaker 5: So this is, uh, this isn't impossible. When I was
• 48:07
  Speaker 5: looking at this, I've been staring at this one for
• 48:10
  Speaker 5: the We kept pretty much had my answers on the
• 48:12
  Speaker 5: other three. This is like choosing between my two kids.
• 48:16
  Speaker 5: I don't I don't know which dart would hit what
• 48:19
  Speaker 5: at this point. Ducktails is so iconic and just when
• 48:24
  Speaker 5: you think of cartoons, it's almost the first one that
• 48:26
  Speaker 5: pops in my head. But I used to walk around
• 48:28
  Speaker 5: my house singing masks holding the toys at the same time.
• 48:32
  Speaker 5: They're both just this should have been the finals matchup.
• 48:35
  Speaker 5: I think James said something about finals earlier. But to me,
• 48:38
  Speaker 5: this is a shame that this is happening here. This
• 48:40
  Speaker 5: should have been you know, this is North Carolina du
• 48:43
  Speaker 5: c right here. This should have been the final matchup.
• 48:45
  Speaker 5: But we are where we're at. And yeah, I don't
• 48:48
  Speaker 5: have a good answer either at this point. I don't know.
• 48:52
  Speaker 5: It's a coin flip, but I don't know so well.
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: Al Lindsey, I know that you were probably before this
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: tournament starts, you know, huge on ducktails, and I don't
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: think you had ever even heard of a mask Yeah, no, no,
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: but no, But now that you've got to hear Mask,
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: what do you think.
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's kind of like Defenders of the Earth.
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: To me, it's a good song. I mean it sounds
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: so eighties. It's a great representation, but it I mean,
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: it's hard to come up against ductails doctails. To me,
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: how can you not love it? Like, how can you
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: not get it stuck in your head? How can you
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: not smile when you hear it? It just makes me happy?
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: James, what are your thoughts on these two?
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: When I first saw a Mask on the bracket, I
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: thought somebody made a cartoon out of that thing with
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: the kid with the giant faces. Yeah, so I was
• 49:51
  Speaker 4: I'm with lindsay, this was not something that I ever
• 49:54
  Speaker 4: came across as a kid. So I don't know that
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: I can speak about this matchup without giving my vote away,
• 50:00
  Speaker 4: but I'm definitely one of these is amazing, and one
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: of them is Masked.
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: So well, okay, did you listen to Mask?
• 50:09
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, no, I listened to all the episodes for
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: this tournament, so I've heard the song when it was
• 50:14
  Speaker 4: played on the show, and yeah, it's it's a it's
• 50:19
  Speaker 4: a song.
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: It's an eighties rock song, James, it would have been
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: the top forty radio.
• 50:26
  Speaker 4: Well, let's just pump the brakes there a little bit.
• 50:30
  Speaker 5: It's it's good.
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: I can hear I can hear.
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: It.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: It.
• 50:38
  Speaker 4: Look, it's good. It deserves it's spot. I'm not you
• 50:42
  Speaker 4: know it just it's ducktails, guys, it's duck tails.
• 50:48
  Speaker 5: This coming from the rescue ranger.
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that said the guy who was upset that ducktails
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: feed out rescue rangers.
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: This should have been this should have been the last two.
• 50:57
  Speaker 4: This should be that. That should have been the finals right there. So, oh,
• 51:01
  Speaker 4: Chippendale's should have dusted Mask if that was here. But
• 51:05
  Speaker 4: it's not here to do that, is it?
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: So all right? I'll leave it go because your podcast
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: was more successful than mine, not for long, Jason, Jason,
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: what are your thoughts?
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: This is the matchup that I have the least amount
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: of nostalgia about. So Mask is one that I just
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: wasn't super familiar with. And then duck Tails was what
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: my little like my friend's little brothers would watch while
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: we were going outside to play a whiffle ball or something.
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: I was familiar enough with it, and I heard the
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: theme song a lot of times, but.
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: We'll see.
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: Do you think mask should have been on Bible signs?
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: If the guys from Survivor had recorded this and put
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: it on vital signs? I think I would like it.
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: You're right about that.
• 52:07
  Speaker 5: And just just to kick in, lover Boy could have
• 52:09
  Speaker 5: recorded this too.
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, okay, I'll give you a yep. I would
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: agree with that, lover Boy. All right, it's time to
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: get to the vote. Well, you may as well get
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: it over with the one that we know where it's going,
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: So James make it official.
• 52:28
  Speaker 4: Uh, the wife's going to be like a hurricane in
• 52:31
  Speaker 4: this chat if you guys don't vote correctly. Her ducktails.
• 52:39
  Speaker 5: You know why he You know why he likes ducktails
• 52:41
  Speaker 5: because he likens himself the Scroogey swims around in his money.
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: Podcast.
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: Uh uh, Dave, where are you headed?
• 52:57
  Speaker 5: All right? Uh? If you'd ask me if this last week,
• 53:00
  Speaker 5: I'd probably give you a different answer each day. And
• 53:02
  Speaker 5: so I don't have you know, like they said, they
• 53:05
  Speaker 5: don't have the same but I have a lot of
• 53:06
  Speaker 5: nostalgia for both. But I will say, when you sent
• 53:08
  Speaker 5: me this, when this thing came out, you asked, I'm
• 53:11
  Speaker 5: gonna use Jason's little rubric to he put together there
• 53:16
  Speaker 5: when you asked songs, the first song I wrote down
• 53:19
  Speaker 5: was Ducktails. It was the first thing that popped in
• 53:21
  Speaker 5: my head. Like, as much as I love Mask and
• 53:24
  Speaker 5: Mask is amazing, the first time anybody says anything about
• 53:27
  Speaker 5: an eighties cartoon, the first thing I go to is
• 53:29
  Speaker 5: duc Tails. So I gotta go, I gotta go. Ducktails.
• 53:33
  Speaker 5: Got to stay true to form on that.
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: So, Jason, where's your vote?
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: Well, for as much as I like the rock value
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: of Mask, if this were a basketball game, Hugh doing
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: Louis keep feeding Scrooge McDuck down low in the paint,
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: and Mask just has no answer. And so Ducktails all
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: the way.
• 53:56
  Speaker 4: Wow Scrooge in the post, let's go.
• 54:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's dirty for sure, He's throwing bows. That's whatever
• 54:05
  Speaker 5: needs to happen.
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: Lindsey, Oh, I'm hanging out with Scrange mcdoc all right.
• 54:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: When I put this thing together, I was like, Ductails
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: might be the greatest cartoon theme song of all time,
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: but golly, I love the Mask theme so much. Ducktails
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: is probably catchier, but Mask rocks harder and at heart.
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: I'm a rocker, and since it doesn't matter, I am
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: gonna throw Mask the vote. If it had come down
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: to a tie, I probably would have had internet connections
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: and then the podcast would have ended if I had
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: to make the choice. But luckily I get to vote
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: for Mask and Ductail still moves on because that's probably
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: the right answer. So that gets us to our final four.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: Our region champions are Alvin and the chip Monks, Teenage
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: Mutant Ninja Turtles, Inspector Gadget, and duct Tails two ones,
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: A two and A four. So here we go, gentlemen,
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: Final four Saturday night or Saturday morning, depending on what
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: you like. Here we have Alvin and the chip Monks
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: versus Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Does anybody want to make
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: an argument for one over the other before we get
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: to the voting.
• 55:40
  Speaker 5: I think I already said everything between the two of
• 55:42
  Speaker 5: them that I had to say. All right, if you're
• 55:45
  Speaker 5: looking for filler, I mean, you got guys on here
• 55:47
  Speaker 5: that love filling time, so we can do that.
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I mean I I kind of you know, listen,
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: I don't listen to your podcast because I'm bored.
• 55:58
  Speaker 5: I can tell a ten minute story real quick.
• 55:59
  Speaker 4: That well, I don't know if if anybody needs to
• 56:04
  Speaker 4: be swayed, or if anybody could be swayed at this point.
• 56:06
  Speaker 4: I mean, people might just be so locked in to
• 56:09
  Speaker 4: their votes that you know, no matter what I said,
• 56:12
  Speaker 4: it probably won't matter.
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm pretty locked in on my vote. I can
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: tell you that. I mean, I don't know if anybody
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: else is. I think they might know.
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: I think I know where I'm going. But I could
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: see the case for either one. I mean, Alvin and
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: the Chipmunks. That theme song has been around for decades.
• 56:33
  Speaker 4: Yep, but now old and dusty.
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: But now at this point, so it is teenage meeting
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: ninja turtles.
• 56:41
  Speaker 4: One is super cool, super hip. One belongs in the
• 56:45
  Speaker 4: nineteen fifties. I don't think it's that difficult.
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: Those little high pitched chipmunk voices, they're not old and dusty.
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: They're happy.
• 56:55
  Speaker 5: Plus, plus the chipmunks are getting other chipmunk tail. They
• 56:58
  Speaker 5: got the chip bets. Turtles are trying to share that one.
• 57:01
  Speaker 5: April Reporter, that's what I got.
• 57:05
  Speaker 4: April is more than woman enough for all four of them.
• 57:09
  Speaker 5: Now, I think I think splinters taking out anyways.
• 57:13
  Speaker 4: All right, Okay, Dave.
• 57:15
  Speaker 5: Who who wins in a fight? Yeah, I'll go with
• 57:21
  Speaker 5: the Chipmunks because Simon can divide. He's really smart to
• 57:23
  Speaker 5: devise some sort of plan.
• 57:26
  Speaker 4: Give me that, and.
• 57:28
  Speaker 5: All you got to do is throw a pizza to
• 57:30
  Speaker 5: the side he'll get. They'll get so distracted. I'll pull
• 57:32
  Speaker 5: the samurai swords right off, Michelangelo. I will just take
• 57:34
  Speaker 5: care of business.
• 57:36
  Speaker 4: If you don't know enough to know Leonardo was the
• 57:38
  Speaker 4: one with the swords, you should.
• 57:40
  Speaker 5: That's right, Michelangelos. But see, I'm not as big as
• 57:49
  Speaker 5: a Ninja fan as you thought. Ninja Turtles.
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: All right, James, go ahead and throw your vote to
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: the teenage and turtles.
• 57:57
  Speaker 4: I am going to vote. The song is so good
• 58:00
  Speaker 4: it works with you could change it to totally average
• 58:04
  Speaker 4: normal turtles and it still works. So it's it's the
• 58:10
  Speaker 4: great It's the one of the greatest theme songs of
• 58:12
  Speaker 4: all time.
• 58:13
  Speaker 5: WHOA, I'd actually I like to hear you read write
• 58:16
  Speaker 5: that's what I was thinking.
• 58:18
  Speaker 4: Totally average normal turtles. Totally average normal turtles, heroes in
• 58:24
  Speaker 4: a full shell because they're normal.
• 58:26
  Speaker 5: But then you can't use heroes. It's gotta be you know,
• 58:28
  Speaker 5: something else, because they're just normal at that villains.
• 58:31
  Speaker 4: Well, then you go with Turtles in a full shell
• 58:33
  Speaker 4: because they're normal. That's the end of the song that.
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: Works, all right? Uh, Dave, where are you going?
• 58:42
  Speaker 5: I'm going with the Rodents on speed give me all
• 58:45
  Speaker 5: three of those little clowns. Alvin and the Chipmunks.
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: Jason, where are you going?
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: Well? So I felt like Transformers got into foul trouble
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: and teenage mutant Ninja Turtles kind of squeaked it out
• 58:58
  Speaker 3: at the foul line the end of that matchup. So
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: I'm going with Alvin and the Chipmunks as well, with
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: a the X factor of the sped up voices really
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: pushing them over the top of this one.
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: All right, So it's two to one Alvin and the Chipmunks, Lynsey,
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: where are you voting on this one?
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: I gotta go with the Turtles. I mean they they
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: played such a big part for me in the second
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: half of the eighties, and I think it's a great
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: theme song.
• 59:37
  Speaker 5: Yes, all right, Jim, here we go, he said, yes,
• 59:43
  Speaker 5: he said, like Phil Hartman on all right, before I
• 59:57
  Speaker 5: know where this is going.
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: Before Duc Tailor was the greatest cartoon theme song of
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: all time. Alvin and the Chipmunks was the greatest cartoon
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: theme song of all time. No, yeah, it really was.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: It was can't miss for me. I'm not, I'm really not.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: Like I loved Alvin and the Chipmunks more than just
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: about any cartoon as a kid, and because of that
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: or not because of that, because I just think it's
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: a better song. I'm going with Alvin in the chip
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: Like you said, last time, they were like, uh, we're
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: back right, It's it's been a while, but we're back
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: in style. They just revamped them for you know, from
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: boomers to Gen X.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: They did, and that's respectable.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 5: But I think on this one, aren't aren't you Me
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 5: and Jason the three elder statesmen? We went for the older.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 5: I believe we're probably older than James, and so him
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 5: and Lindsay had the younger vote going there.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 4: So I think Lindsay and I are the same age.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 4: I'm born in seventy nine.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 5: Yep, me Spring Chicken James.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: That's and that's a really good point. I'm sure that
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: that probably played a big big part in this.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: It did because I never watched teenage mutan in turns Now.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: With that being said, it's an awesome song like I
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: don't have any disrespect towards the song. I just and there.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: We don't have to keep rehashing it, yet we will
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: because I'm a woman. I if I remember correctly, James,
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: when teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles came out, didn't it just
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: kind of blow our minds? Was it felt like something
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: we had never seen before?
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 4: Yes, it was like a rocket ship pen landed on
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 4: Earth and let the coolest thing that ever existed.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how it felt.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 4: No one ever felt that way with Alvin and the Chipmunks.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 5: But again I would say I disagree with that. Like
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 5: I got a lot of my pop music sometimes off
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 5: Alvin Chipmunks. They were singing pop songs as chipmunks, and
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 5: then you hear them on the radio too. So again
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 5: Ninja Turtles, that three year gap we have, James, I
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 5: wasn't watching cartoons. I knew the song very well because
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 5: you just hear it in the pop culture of what's
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 5: going on. And I loved the movie in nineteen ninety
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 5: thought it was super fun. But I just didn't have
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 5: the same connection to that song that I had to
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 5: album Alvin and Chipmunks. That's me in front of the
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 5: TV with a bull of lucky charms on Saturday morning.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 4: So it sounds like you're saying that they use other
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 4: people's talents and songs and rode those coattails to success.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: Push him on through.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's fine. So I also as a sucker for
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 5: kids in.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: Cart Oh yeah, yeah. But on here, that's the winner.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna have to say, Alvin and the
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: Chipmunks are advancing to the finals. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: Just go Ninja Go, Ninja, Go Ninja go.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 5: That That song does slap, So you're really good.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 5: So had you played, had you played that, I probably
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 5: would have voted for that over.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: Vanilla Ice over Alvin.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, all right.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: So that brings us to our other Final four matchup,
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: Inspector Gadget versus Duct Tails. Lindsey, I know you love
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: Inspector Gadget. I'll let you go first.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: Oh man, I do love Inspector Gadget. But there's not
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: enough to it. If you're just listening to the theme song,
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: you have to be watching it as well. And that's
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: not part of what we're doing here. We're just talking
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: about listening to the theme songs. Ductails is the total package.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: It's a fantastic theme song. It's up like, Yeah, doctails
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: had catchy music, catchy lyrics. It was upbeat. It got
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: stuck in your head, made you want to tune in.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: There wasn't enough there from Inspector Gadget.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: Jason, what are your thoughts?
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 3: I think Lindsey is overlooking the simplicity and the excellence
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 3: of Inspector Gag. If somebody tapped me on the shoulder
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 3: in a foreign city and said, Inspector Gadget, I would
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 3: sing the theme song. That doesn't happen when somebody.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: Put you on the spot. But how would that soundor Gadget?
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 5: Oh fair enough? Yeah, I mean it just fair enough.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 3: It comes right out. So it's it is literally setting
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 3: heights in catchiness. I mean it's absolutely off the charts
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 3: in catchiness.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 5: So, by the way, I would literally pay money to
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 5: see you walking around Madrid or Paris just singing Inspector
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 5: Gadget to the random locals.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 3: Hey, maybe this summer, I'll see what I can do
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 3: about that.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 5: Just tap one on the shoulder. Hey, listen to this.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: All right, Dave, what do you what are your thoughts?
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: I think I know, but but I'll let you speak
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: on both.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 5: Okay, Jason's not wrong. Inspector Gadget is. It's an earworm,
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 5: you know, and it feels like being a kid. But
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 5: it's tough duct tails if I use what I said
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 5: about mask that. As soon as I heard about this bracket,
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 5: what you were doing, that's the first thing to pop
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 5: my head. It's gonna be a tough, tough road for
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 5: old old on this one.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: So, James, I think both of these you voted for initially,
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: Like when I said, hey, everybody, give me four, give
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: me four songs, I think I think you had Inspector
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: Gadget right.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're gonna have to leave me out of this one.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 4: I'm not gonna be able to pick between the two
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 4: of them. Really, it's that tie, huh Yeah, So hopefully
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 4: it's not a tie because I think I might just
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 4: jump off my roof if that happens. These are you know,
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 4: did you just vote to push Alvin in? I forgot
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 4: that was just a few minutes ago, but I want
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 4: to make sure that that actually happened.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I did vote to put Alvin in, and I
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: certainly don't want you to jump off your roof. But
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: because of the because of the harshness that you treated
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: the chip monks with. I may try to make this
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: a tie and make you break it.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 5: Oh, do that make James go last?
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 4: Please don't.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: All right, Jason, I'm gonna let you vote first. Who's
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: your vote? Inspector Gadget, Lindsey Ducktails, Dave Ducktails? All right,
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: my vote? So I could vote for Inspector Gadget and
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: make James break the tie.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 5: Come on, this is trying to be dramatic. We need
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 5: ratings here.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say it would make for better radio.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: So let me say this. Inspector Gadget is very quirky,
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: and uh, it's possible that I haven't given it the
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: respect that it deserves. It's pretty dang good and it's
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: pretty dang catchy. But I'm not sure there's a day
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: that goes by that I Spadget. I don't sing the
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: duct Tails theme song.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 5: I changed my vote officially. I can't believe Jim the
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 5: David delegation vote Inspector Gadget.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 3: There we go.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: That's so, James, what's your vote? Is it?
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 4: What's the score right now? Save's vote change?
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 3: I don't know spect your gadget.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 4: I think.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: No, I I I know Dave, Dave, Dave. It's not legit.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he's not allowing me.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna have to I'm gonna have to overrule that.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: Uh I did. I did vote ducktails.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 4: So it's over. It's over, Okay, cool, let's move on.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 5: You know, James, we've fed that right to you. You
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 5: were supposed to set the high drama and you just
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 5: this is broadcast, you get it. You gotta read the room.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 4: Well, there's no drama. It's already over.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: James. I feel like I feel like you're the night. Yeah, James,
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: I feel like you're the nineteen ninety one Pistons when
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: they just walked off the floor taking the bull's hands, didn't.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right. If you make me vote, I'm gonna
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 4: be Bobby Knight chucking a chair across the court.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 5: And I would like to see that. It'd be like
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 5: the shark Jerry Tarkan and saying over there chewing on
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 5: a towel.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So that brings us to our final game, the championship.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: We've got two number one seeds and I kind of
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: thought this might be how it ended up. If it
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: were up. To me, it would have been this matchupper
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: of Muppet babies had been there instead of albut the
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: hip Monks I would have been okay with that too.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: But to me, this is kind of what I was
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: thinking was gonna happen when CBS released the brackets. So
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: we have Alvin and the Chipmunks versus Ducktails, Nostalgia versus Disney.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I can't build it up like Brent
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: Musburger would have. So does anybody have anything to say
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: before we get to the boats.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah? I've been trying to take these hamsters out behind
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 4: the shed and shooting them the entire episode. And they're
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 4: still here.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 2: They are still here.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 5: They are survivors.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 4: I don't get it, guys.
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 5: They've been around since the sixties, all right.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: I know how.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 4: This is the children of the eighties. I don't understand
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 4: how they're in the finals. It's ludicrous to me.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 5: They have had movies into the twenty tens.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 4: We saw the Squeak Will Okay, that was a good one.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: Keep reading, so, James, I think I have an answer
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: for you of why they've stuck around so much. So,
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: you know, our kat affectually named Gary Busey. He is
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: a killing machine, and he has brought back many a
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: chipmunk to the door that we're no longer breathing or
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: heart beating. And yet every morning I look out there
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: and there's like dozens more. They just don't go away.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: They multiply worse than rabbits do.
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, then we know the life expectancy of a chipmunk,
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 4: Like how long do they live?
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 4: I have no idea.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 5: That just sounds good because.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 4: I have a feeling they've got short lifespans, which means
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 4: we're like probably on the sixth or seventh Alvin, And
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 4: you're still treating him like he's the original. He's a
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 4: fake copy, all right?
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 3: Well thanks, publicity is a copy of a copy, right.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, real quick, just google here. Chipmunks typically live for
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 5: two to three years.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: So there that.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 4: These demon ghost rodents out of here.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 5: Now, by the way, there is a caveat to that.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 5: It says in captivity they can live eight to twelve years.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 5: So Dave is doing a great job taking care of
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 5: these chipmunks. And he taught him to sing.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: How long do ducks live? On?
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: Get down?
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 4: These ducks will live forever?
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 5: Jib well with with McDuck's scrooges level of income, you
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 5: can just live endlessly, just keep you know, bio freeze himself.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 5: He can do whatever he wants, right, but if you're asking,
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 5: Google says five to fifteen years, so.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: Longer than them, all right, longer than the chipmunks.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 4: And with that kind of money you can clone other
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 4: ducks and harvest their organs to keep yourself alive.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 5: For sure, he's definitely he's definitely doing that.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: So uh, all right, James, go ahead and vote.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 4: Ductails.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: Woo Jason, look your vote.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 3: And this is not Riten close in my brain. I mean, Alvin,
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 3: Simon and Theodore are like MJ. Pippen and Rodman and
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 3: this is Alvin and the Chipmunks all the way.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: What lendsy.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: I gotta we've We've put James through enough. I gotta
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 2: go with Ductails.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: All right, it is my vote now, I am. I
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: am going to make this dramatic and vote for Alvin
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: and the Chipmunks because I want Dave to pick the winner.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: If you used to do it the last round, now
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: it all comes down today, yes, So I'm gonna liking
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 2: this to win.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 5: The Fab five took on North Carolina. And in this case,
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 5: poor Alvin. He called the time out when there wasn't
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 5: one left pulled the Chris Weber and the duck Tails
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 5: were able to pull it out by a couple of points,
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 5: and Alvin stuck on the court looking around, saying, I
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 5: thought we had another time out, So.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 4: My guy, I always had.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 5: I said it earlier, James. When I started this whole thing,
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 5: the first thing I wrote down was duck Tails. The
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 5: first song that came into my head was duc Tails.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 5: And as much as I love Alvin the Chipmunks, and
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 5: I'm not lying, I love that theme song, I can't
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 5: go against that. D If I start like, if I'm
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 5: walking around in Europe and people tap me, it's gonna
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 5: be Ducktails more often than respect get it.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 4: I just think it's so cool that the second best
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 4: cartoon beans on one.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 3: The whole thing.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 5: He's still on that is he stuck on it. He
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 5: really wanted Ghostbusters to get through.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 4: Chippindale's what I was thinking of.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 5: But sure, I know you said earlier Ghostbusters should just
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 5: debliterated everybody.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 4: Either one.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: I got one, so I'm with you, Dave. Like when
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: when I first decided to do this, I had no
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: idea that so many people like duct Tails. I knew
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: I did, but I wondered if anybody else did. Uh.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: And when the vote started coming in, when I said, hey,
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: everybody picked four, and you know, six out of ten
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: people had duct tails on there. Seven out of eleven
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: people had ducktails on there, I'm like, oh, wow, there's
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: a lot more popular than I thought it would be,
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: or or maybe not that I thought it would be.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: But I'm on the same page. There's a lot more
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: people than I thought would be. So duct Tails is absolutely,
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: in my opinion, the best cartoon theme song of the
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighties, and it could be of all time. I
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe put it up against speed Racer or something,
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: but Scooby Doooo do Scooby Doos Scooby Doo might win
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: that one. But Ducktails is phenomenal.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 5: Ren and Stimpy is really good. Go check that out.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: Little Red and Stiffy is pretty good.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree with oh Phineas and ferb.
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: Talking.
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, where we're going past. Pinky in the Brain is exceptional.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 5: I know it's part of anime animate.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 3: You have the cartoon bracket, Jim, Yeah, listen.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 4: Anem next would have to be final four.
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: Come on, we we may have to break out of
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: the eighties for another cartoon theme song or maybe one
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: of you guys it since uh, you do well there decades.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 5: Since you don't or you just don't want to do
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 5: the work, and she doesn't want to do another bracket.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 2: So yeah, well that's it. That's it, exactly that.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: Maybe before before we cut it off. So I caught
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: I don't want to say a lot of flak, but
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: I had a lot of people emailing me and hitting
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: me up on Twitter and whatnot, saying, hey, what about
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: this show called Jason the Wheeled Warriors, which apparently came
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: on USA in the mid to late eighties. I had
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: never heard of it, but I did listen to the
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: theme song. It does kind of rock. I don't know
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: that it makes maybe our final four, but it was
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: getting a lot of love from a lot of people.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: So I just want to know anybody else heard of that?
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 5: Note Absolutely not now okay, so.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: It's not just me. Mm hmmm, Well I don't know
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: what to tell the audience. Then sorry, you know, we
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: appreciate you guys right then, but apparently nobody on here
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: has heard of this. But I will say, I did
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: listen to it. It's pretty good, So go check it
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: out if you're so inclined. Gentlemen, thank you for joining us.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: What are your overall thoughts on this year's pop culture
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: tournament that we did?
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 3: That was a lot of fun, man, I enjoyed myself.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: Like this.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 3: We do it every week.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: Thanks Jason, Well, we appreciate you finally being able to
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: catch up with us and join us here. Thank you,
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: Thank you for your participation. James, what were your thoughts?
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: I know you're disappointed about Shippingdale, but I mean, dude,
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: get over it.
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 4: I you know what, Jim, this this tournament was. I
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 4: mean I listened to all the ones I wasn't on,
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 4: and I experienced the highest of highs and the lowest
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 4: of lows, and it was real and it was fun.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 4: But was it real fun? Sometimes? Yeah, when chipp and
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 4: Dale's lost, it wasn't. But yeah, no, of course this
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 4: was a blast.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 4: I loved this whole thing. Please do it again.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: No, we plan on doing this every March as long
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: as we're on the air, as long as they keep
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: letting us come back. I've already got an idea for
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: next year. Dave overall thoughts, I mean, I guess it
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: probably turned out how you wanted it too.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but just besides the fact that you know, the
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 5: song that I originally thought would win, it won, which
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 5: is great. I feel redeemed, if you will. But I
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 5: just think this is a great format, getting a chance
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 5: not only to hang out with you and Lindsay, but
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 5: you know this this week Jason and James, I was
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 5: also on here with pop Culture, your book guys, and
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 5: Spinning the Wheel and some other guys. It's it's really
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 5: cool that this type of format allows for several people
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 5: to get together. We get to have some fun that
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 5: we typically wouldn't because it's not easy to collaborate all
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 5: the time. So I thank you for being able to
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 5: get everybody together and we get to hang out with
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 5: some other folks and talk because I only get to
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 5: talk to Rob and sometimes kurtin that's kind of my world,
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 5: so it's nice to branch out once in a while.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: So well, No, I concur with your thoughts like I love.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: I love having you guys on again. I love your
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: podcast as well. But I think the coolest part about
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: all this is just meeting you guys. You know, and
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: and hanging out with you guys and having you guys
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: come on and stuff, and it's just been a ton
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: of fun, uh, being on your podcast and you guys
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: coming on ours. So we're just, you know, really thankful
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: for you guys. And it was not expected when we
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: started this. We started this and thought, Okay, we'll have
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: a couple of family members and a couple of friends listen,
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: and then it blows up into this where we've got
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: more listeners than we ever thought we'd have. But not
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: that's not the important thing. The important thing was, you know,
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: meeting all you guys in the Pcy guys and you know,
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: like you said, Matt, and from Spinning the Wheel and
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: everybody else that's joined us. It's it's just been fantastic.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: So we really appreciate you guys taking the time and
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: giving us your opinion and really just making the show better. Lindsey,
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: what about your final thoughts on this whole thing? Are
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: you glad that it's over? Oh?
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 2: I'm always glad when the tournaments are over. That's always
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 2: the best part of the whole thing is when it's over.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 2: But no, I loved the just the friendship and the banter.
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 2: It is a ton of fun. I love this podcast community.
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 2: It's starting to feel almost a little bit more like family,
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: which I appreciate that. And my only issue here though,
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 2: wrapping it up, is I'm just still pissy over mommt
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 2: babies all.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 4: Don't you tell her to get over it?
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 3: I can't.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 2: I can't get over it.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: James, you cannot kill me in my sleep. That's why
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: I won't tell her that.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 5: He doesn't have to live with James.
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: As I said, we always appreciate you guys. Have us
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: on Dave tell Us what.
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 5: Well for our podcast to nineties recall again, this week
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 5: we are going over our top ten. We're putting it together,
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 5: a top ten of our favorite alternative songs of nineteen
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 5: ninety six. Little thirty year anniversary pop right there. And
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 5: then next week we're going to do our best not
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 5: to screw up, because I know it's sacred ground. But
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 5: next week we're going to review the nineteen eighty six
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 5: classic Aliens.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: So nice, that's Jason's favorite. That's a great that's a
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: great segue. Jason. You can talk about Aliens all you want,
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: but tell us about your tell us what you got
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: coming up on your podcast?
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 3: Man, we are right in the middle of a three
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 3: way comparison of albums of nineteen eighty one. So we
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 3: just did Jay Giles's band. We're doing Minute Work this week,
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 3: and then we finish it all off with Lindsay's favorite
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 3: Hall of Oates, so we got that going, and then
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 3: we're finally comparing maybe a Mount Rushmore eighties movie. We're
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 3: taking on Ferris Bueler's Day Off. We're doing Ferris Buel's
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 3: Day Off versus Adventures and Babysitting, kind of a one
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 3: day in the Big City movie. And then we're diving
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 3: into some seventies rock. We got Eagles Hotel California versus
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 3: Fleetwood Mac Rumors, so we were excited about what we
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 3: got coming. And we're actually covering Point Break, which Dave
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 3: did a whole lot of the research for us on
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 3: a couple of weeks. I'm gonna lean heavily on what
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 3: he's done. I appreciate that.
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, that's that's pretty much what I do. I
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: guess pretty much listen to Your Guys podcast and steal
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: what I can and then don't get credit for it
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: when I do say it. You know, I like Adventures Babysitting,
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: but as I mentioned that was like our third show
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: that we ever did, because that's like one of Lindsay's
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: favorite movies, Adventures and Babysitting. And I was so excited
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: when that came out because it came out the year
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: after Ferris Bueller, and one of the critics said that
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: it was more fun or more laughs a minute than
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: Ferris Bueller. And as I said back then, three years ago,
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: and I will repeat now, I believe he should probably
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: have a finger cut off for saying something like that.
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: But I'll still listened to the show. I'll still listen
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: to the show because it's going to be enjoyable. James,
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: what do you have coming up on your forty seven podcasts?
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 4: How about I just mentioned two of them?
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, that'll work.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I'm the mother on the on the mother Ship
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 4: on Bad Movies Rule, which drops every Friday. This week,
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 4: We've got We're in the eighties, actually, Jim, we have
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 4: Jaws three Jaws three D rather as it was titled, Yeah,
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 4: you know, the one where the shark swims into sea world.
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: Yes that's not good, No, no, it's not very realistic.
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 4: Right, And then every Wednesday, our other show that we
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 4: do that comes out is called Watcher Texas Ranger, where
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 4: we are going episode by episode through Walker Texas Ranger.
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 4: So we have we're right around the end of season three,
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 4: So if anybody's into that show or watches the old
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 4: Chuck Norris show, we're doing that every single week.
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 3: Too.
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: Awesome, awesome, Well, guys, thinks it's been a blast, and
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: we've wrapped up another year of a tournament and we
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: look forward to having you all back for next year's tournament.
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: But of course we will try to get you back
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: on prior to that. And in fact, I think Dave
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: and Jason, I think Lindsay wants you guys to maybe
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: co host while I'm out recovering from surgery in a
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: few weeks.
• 1:25:58

• 1:26:00
  Speaker 5: off and yes, are you going to be Joan Rivers?
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah you go?
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 4: Does that mean I get stuck being Jay Leno?
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: Yes?

  Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry James.

  Speaker 5: First of all, Jason, if anyone's are sim.
