Hubba-Wha?! Episode #28 - Finale / The Magic Store · Muppet Fan Podcasts with ToughPigs.com

• 0:03
  It starts when we're kids. I show off at school making
• 0:09
  faces at friends. You're a clown and a fool and
• 0:16
  frat balls and bird balls and bad imitations.
• 0:19
  Ignoring. Your homework.
• 0:20
  Is that dedication? You work through the mirror.
• 0:25
  You're getting standing ovations.
• 0:47
  Welcome to Hubba Wah, a Muppet quiz show brought to you by
• 0:51
  toughpigs.com. It's your favorite quiz show.
• 0:54
  That's not like the others here. Muppet fans, Muppet
• 0:58
  Professionals, and everyone in between competes for fabulous
• 1:03
  prizes and to see who's this week's toughest pig.
• 1:08
  I'm your host, Becca Petunia of toughpigs.com.
• 1:12
  And folks, we've come to the end of another one.
• 1:15
  That's right, this is the last episode of the season.
• 1:18
  Sure, I had to take some time away to get married, but I think
• 1:21
  we can all agree that we had some incredible episodes this
• 1:24
  season. I sure hope you all enjoyed
• 1:26
  them. Now here's the deal.
• 1:28
  Not only is this the last Hubba Wah episode of the season, it's
• 1:33
  also going to be the last Hubba Wah episode for a while.
• 1:37
  I'm going to be putting the series on hold for even longer
• 1:40
  than usual so I can work on another Muppet podcast idea that
• 1:45
  I have, but I promise Hubba Wah cannot die.
• 1:49
  It will not die, but it's going to be hibernating for a bit.
• 1:55
  But that means that we're going to go out on a bang.
• 1:58
  Did somebody say bang? That's right.
• 2:06
  Today's episode is a finale so big I can only call it finale
• 2:12
  the magic store, like that famous final song from The
• 2:16
  Muppet Movie. I've invited as many friends as
• 2:20
  possible to help me out. That's right, we have 3
• 2:24
  contestants this episode, but also some other special guests.
• 2:30
  Oh, you're in for a treat that I'm not going to reveal just
• 2:33
  yet. Also, a warning to our
• 2:36
  contestants and our audience at home.
• 2:40
  This is the hardest episode we've ever had.
• 2:43
  We're going to have some fun with it and learn a lot.
• 2:46
  But do not be disappointed or surprised if answering these
• 2:49
  questions is harder than before. Before I elaborate on all these
• 2:54
  tantalizing details, let's meet our contestants.
• 2:58
  Like I said, we have 3 contestants this week, and all
• 3:02
  of them are Muppet Wiki admins. After all, who knows more about
• 3:07
  The Muppets than the folks behind Muppet Wiki?
• 3:10
  Hey, while I'm teasing what's coming, did I use Muppet Wiki to
• 3:14
  write these questions? No.
• 3:17
  For most of them, I did not. And you're going to find out a
• 3:21
  little bit more about that soon, too.
• 3:25
  As always, we have to start by meeting our contestants in our
• 3:29
  first game to tell a face. Contestants, you're going to
• 3:35
  buzz in to answer some questions about yourself.
• 3:39
  Whoever buzzes in first will get introduced first.
• 3:43
  Ready. Go.
• 3:46
  All right. Our first contestant to buzz in
• 3:48
  was Scott. So let's start with you, Scott.
• 3:53
  What's your name? My name is Scott Hanson.
• 3:57
  And Scott, what pronouns should we use for you?
• 3:59
  He. Him.
• 4:01
  All right, great. Scott, now you've been on this
• 4:04
  show before, although it was a while ago, and of course you're
• 4:08
  a long time, long time fixture of the Muppet fan community.
• 4:12
  Do you want to tell us quickly though, Because it has been a
• 4:15
  while since you've been on the show.
• 4:17
  Do you want to tell us quickly what's your history with The
• 4:19
  Muppets? Sure.
• 4:21
  Yeah, like a lot of us grew up with The Muppets, forgot about
• 4:25
  them a little bit toward the end of my teenage years when my
• 4:29
  daughter was born, I got back into them as a as an adult fan.
• 4:34
  I soon started helping out Danny Horn running Tough bigs.com,
• 4:40
  doing a lot of technical and visual stuff for the site, and
• 4:45
  then together we started Muppet Wiki in December of 2005.
• 4:50
  All right. And that's true.
• 4:52
  And you still are one of the Muppet Wiki admins, and you run
• 4:56
  the Muppet Wiki Twitter account and Instagram.
• 4:59
  Is there an Instagram? There is.
• 5:01
  And yeah, social media is a bit of a mess right now, so we have
• 5:05
  been super active there. But yeah, in theory.
• 5:09
  But yeah, no. So that's that's where that's
• 5:11
  where folks at home will know you from.
• 5:13
  And you know, listen, this episode is both a celebration of
• 5:17
  Hubblewa but also a celebration of Muppet Wiki.
• 5:20
  So I got to ask Scott, what are you proudest of on Muppet Wiki?
• 5:25
  The editors, yeah, yeah. The the the folks who who come
• 5:29
  together to, to work on something in the spirit of
• 5:33
  community to just build a better thing.
• 5:37
  You know, like anybody can start their own website.
• 5:40
  Anybody can start their own. I mean, I don't know, does
• 5:42
  anybody do a blog anymore? We used to say blog.
• 5:46
  Tough Pigs is a blog. Sure.
• 5:48
  OK, yeah. Yeah, I guess blog isn't anyway
• 5:52
  we. We started it 23 years ago, but
• 5:55
  Tough Pigs is a blog. Sure.
• 5:57
  OK. Yeah, So I I guess my point is
• 6:00
  that, you know, anybody can and Tough Pigs is is an exception to
• 6:04
  what I'm about to say in that, you know, tough Pigs is a group
• 6:06
  of people who come together to do something.
• 6:08
  And in a similar vein, Muppet Wiki is made-up of a number of
• 6:12
  editors, hundreds of editors over the years who've come
• 6:16
  together to to build a a better thing that one individual person
• 6:20
  could not have done alone. So that's that's what I'm most
• 6:22
  proud of. That's a really great answer and
• 6:25
  for that really great answer, I am going to award you 20 points.
• 6:31
  Sweet. All right.
• 6:33
  Actually, you know what? I should probably write that
• 6:36
  down and not try to remember how many points you each have.
• 6:42
  OK, Now the next person to buzz in was Tony.
• 6:48
  So Tony, what is your name? I am Baby Bobby's grandmother.
• 6:53
  No, no, no, no. Tony Whitaker.
• 6:56
  All right? And.
• 6:58
  Yeah, Tony, what pronouns should we use for you today?
• 7:01
  He. Him.
• 7:02
  All right, great. And Tony, so this is actually
• 7:06
  your first time on a Tough Pigs podcast.
• 7:10
  And correct me if I'm wrong, your second time on a podcast.
• 7:15
  Yep, the first time was for my Quest Falls Advent Calendar
• 7:19
  House. It was a great episode of Advent
• 7:22
  Calendar House the One. Talking about the Great Santa
• 7:24
  Claus Switch with I was with Tori, correct?
• 7:28
  And so, in other words, you need to tell us what is your history
• 7:34
  with The Muppets. Well, I guess like for most
• 7:39
  people, I would like most people it would be for Sesame Street
• 7:43
  1st and guess it was through the show and some hand me down toys
• 7:49
  for my sisters. Just growing up with that and
• 7:54
  realizing that, I don't know, there's just something special
• 7:58
  that connected. There's something special about
• 8:01
  Sesame Sheet that just connected to me.
• 8:05
  And over time I just learned more about The Muppets.
• 8:08
  And after Sesame Sheet came stuff like the Fraggle Rock VHSS
• 8:13
  from DHBODHBOVHSS. And eventually I found all these
• 8:19
  books and stuff like Jim Henson, the works of Muppets and Men.
• 8:23
  I learned more about these people, Jerry Nelson, Richard
• 8:25
  Hunt, Louise Gold, etcetera. And I don't know, I just
• 8:31
  nobody's really asked me about this.
• 8:36
  Well, you know it. It seems like it's always been a
• 8:38
  part of your life and something that you found interesting in a
• 8:41
  lot of different ways And one of the ways that it is a part of
• 8:45
  your life and that you do find it interesting is, like I said,
• 8:48
  you are a an admin of Muppet Wiki, correct?
• 8:55
  OK, you. Had joined about a year and a
• 8:56
  half ago. And what is your proudest
• 8:59
  accomplishment there? What Scott said.
• 9:03
  But I don't know what make it more fancy.
• 9:10
  OK, so fancier than Scott's, that's what.
• 9:14
  Great. No, no.
• 9:16
  Recently we did get to finish the Sesame Street episode
• 9:21
  guides. Yeah, I was hoping one of you
• 9:23
  would mention that because that's that's something that I,
• 9:26
  I wanted to call out here on the air.
• 9:29
  Although at this point, and certainly when everybody listens
• 9:31
  to this, it's definitely, it'll have been a while ago when did
• 9:34
  you guys? It's old.
• 9:35
  News, Becca. When did you finish?
• 9:37
  Was it September I? Think it was November?
• 9:40
  Oh, well, it's not that old, New October, so it happened pretty
• 9:47
  recently. And that's good, because when
• 9:49
  this episode is coming out, it'll have been X days since
• 9:55
  then. But the point is, it's an
• 9:58
  incredible feat and something I know when Muppet Wiki first
• 10:02
  started I genuinely never thought would happen.
• 10:05
  You know, as a long time avid Muppet Wiki reader, I joke that
• 10:10
  I read every article on Muppet Wiki and I never thought it
• 10:14
  would happen. And now there is an episode
• 10:16
  guide for every episode of Sesame Street except like the 10
• 10:20
  lost episodes and even those you've got some stuff for.
• 10:23
  So it's incredible. There's like 50 something
• 10:27
  missing? Well then, I guess it's not that
• 10:29
  exciting of a feat after all. I think that's I forgot who you
• 10:36
  said it, but there's like there's 0.01% of episodes not
• 10:42
  found. That was, that was me.
• 10:44
  That was my match for the thing that I put up on toughpigs.com
• 10:48
  about this accomplishment. Oh yeah, It's less than 1%.
• 10:52
  It's, it's it's far less than 1%.
• 10:54
  It's incredible. And you can just go to click on
• 10:56
  a click on a random episode number.
• 10:58
  I do this all the time and just, I don't know, see what, See what
• 11:03
  all of your friends were up to that week.
• 11:05
  So much crazy stuff we found like Yorick on Sesame Street.
• 11:10
  Yorick and and I know Scott, you were talking a lot about that
• 11:14
  when you were on my show two years ago.
• 11:16
  You were talking about some of the stuff that you found
• 11:19
  Taminella and Jim performing, Oscar and stuff like that?
• 11:23
  What a weird, stupid dog we. Were pretty close to to end game
• 11:30
  back then but yeah it's it's pretty exciting that we're we're
• 11:33
  pretty much done now. And to your point Becca too
• 11:37
  about just clicking on a random episode.
• 11:39
  If you go to the main Sesame Street episode guide which you
• 11:42
  can find LinkedIn the the header there are several different
• 11:44
  links you can click for how to find different you can find
• 11:47
  random episodes by season, random episodes by decade.
• 11:50
  So yeah, it's it's a lot of fun to poke through all that stuff.
• 11:53
  It really is and you can find some great pictures and and
• 11:57
  funny things you never knew. It's it's amazing.
• 12:00
  And and for for those who who don't know why, why it might be
• 12:03
  important to to click on a random link, it's this is not
• 12:06
  like, you know, a series of Star Trek where there are a very low
• 12:11
  number of episodes, like around 100 or so.
• 12:14
  There are over 4500 episodes of Sesame Street.
• 12:16
  So that's why that's, that's why it's helpful to to you know kind
• 12:20
  of poke around and not just go one through 4500 you know.
• 12:24
  Yeah, for 29 years, 130 episodes a season.
• 12:30
  Crazy. Shane, how many episodes total,
• 12:33
  you know? No, I don't.
• 12:36
  You're letting me down, Shane. Whoops.
• 12:38
  Well, Tony, you have earned 20 points and Shane has lost ten
• 12:45
  points for not knowing the answer to that question.
• 12:50
  No, but but Shane, I will ask you as our third contestant,
• 12:56
  what is your name? Well, my name is Shane Keating.
• 13:01
  And Shane, what pronouns should we use for you today?
• 13:05
  He. Him.
• 13:06
  All right, great. And Shane, you've been on my
• 13:10
  podcast a bunch and sometimes on the other.
• 13:14
  Actually, have you been on any of the other Tough Pigs podcasts
• 13:16
  or just mine? I have been on moving right
• 13:19
  along OK and the great fandom panel.
• 13:22
  OK, then you have So people, hey.
• 13:25
  Hey Scott, I don't think he can hear us, but he's the guy we got
• 13:28
  to take down. What Just 'cause I am a two time
• 13:33
  Hubba Wah champion. You didn't hear that?
• 13:38
  It's true. It's true.
• 13:39
  Shane. Shane has won twice and and
• 13:43
  Shane. So I'm saying because we all
• 13:45
  have heard from you a bunch, We all have a rough idea of your
• 13:48
  history with The Muppets. Anything you want to add about
• 13:51
  your history with The Muppets? I used to have Muppets on space
• 13:58
  on tape. Muppets on space.
• 14:01
  On space. Yes, Muppets on space.
• 14:04
  OK. Is what I said and I will stick
• 14:08
  to that. Is that different from Muppets
• 14:11
  in Space and Muppets from Space? Yes, you know, it was
• 14:15
  interesting. They were going to have all all
• 14:18
  the prepositions. Muppets Behind, Space Muppets
• 14:21
  over. Space.
• 14:22
  I wouldn't be surprised if Disney owns all those now.
• 14:27
  But but Shane, you are also an admin on Muppet Wiki, and what
• 14:32
  would you say you're proudest of on Muppet Wiki, keeping in mind
• 14:35
  that all the good ones are taken I.
• 14:37
  Was going to say, I'm really proud of our page about Farley.
• 14:41
  I think that one came out really well.
• 14:43
  All you could ever need to know about Farley.
• 14:45
  His likes, his dislikes, his family.
• 14:48
  I have a big update on Farley coming up by the way, about his
• 14:50
  family, so stay tuned. Scott I'm I'm thrilled.
• 14:55
  I'm thrilled The only Farley is like, you know, top five
• 14:59
  favorite things for me to talk about on this podcast. 100%.
• 15:03
  Pretty much it just after Betty Lou.
• 15:06
  If I could give oh Nope. No love for Mr. Poodle Pants.
• 15:11
  No, screw him. There's a bunch should.
• 15:13
  Stay that way. There's a bunch of poodle pants
• 15:16
  talk in The Muppets from Space episode that's coming out or
• 15:20
  that will have come out for those of you at home.
• 15:23
  But if I could give a non joke answer, The Sesame guide
• 15:27
  obviously was one of my favorite things.
• 15:30
  But I really like all the stuff about projects that never got
• 15:33
  made. Because one thing we are very a
• 15:36
  big stickler about on the wiki is sources.
• 15:39
  And the all those pages about things that never got made are
• 15:43
  so thoroughly researched. They all have impeccable
• 15:46
  sources. And, you know, it's fun to learn
• 15:49
  about like, oh, what episodes of The Muppet Show Kermit the Frog
• 15:52
  is in. Like, that's all right.
• 15:53
  But finding out about, like, all these movies and specials that
• 15:57
  never like, nobody's probably ever heard of these things.
• 16:00
  But we've got them all covered. And a lot of them are very
• 16:03
  thoroughly covered. And so I'm very proud of those.
• 16:06
  I I asked about those back in the finale of the first season
• 16:11
  of Hubba Wah. You did.
• 16:14
  I wish we could have Snipo and Smoopo.
• 16:19
  Is that was that one of them? Yes, that was one of your fake
• 16:23
  ones. Oh, that was one of my.
• 16:25
  OK, so I don't, I don't remember my fake ones.
• 16:28
  All right. Well, Shane, you lost 10 points
• 16:32
  earlier, but I will give you 30 points because you mentioned
• 16:37
  Farley bringing you to 20 points and thus tying all three of our
• 16:44
  contestants. You're tough, but fair.
• 16:46
  I know, tough, but pig see. Scott, this is the stuff I'm
• 16:49
  talking about. We got to get.
• 16:50
  We got to take him down. Now why do I sound like Rizzo
• 16:55
  when I do this? I was going to say you sound
• 16:58
  like a frackle, and I meant that in a like, kind way, but like
• 17:04
  you're trying to, you're trying to kidnap Santa behind behind
• 17:08
  this. Listen, in the in the spirit of
• 17:11
  of teaming up and taking anybody down with the best trivia I will
• 17:14
  preface this by saying and I I I've said this before Danny and
• 17:18
  I started Muppet Wiki to have a place to put our knowledge and
• 17:22
  sort of forget about it. I am playing with two of the
• 17:24
  admins right now Shane and Tony who have Muppet Wiki basically
• 17:28
  living inside their heads. I can.
• 17:30
  I can bring up stuff in a in a chat that they can point to
• 17:34
  immediately, so their their knowledge is unparalleled.
• 17:37
  Well, we're going to, we're going to see that because we are
• 17:40
  going to get right into the main event.
• 17:44
  It's time for Sesame Street Sports, and today we take you
• 17:48
  directly. To.
• 17:50
  The Sesame Street. Open welcome.
• 17:56
  Ladies and gentlemen, to the most exciting sports event of
• 17:59
  the year, the Sesame Street Open.
• 18:07
  The fans have crowded into the stadium to watch the finals in
• 18:09
  this year's Sesame Street Open. Let's hear it for now.
• 18:16
  Like I've been hinting at, this episode is going to be a little
• 18:18
  different other than our bonus games, anything in the World
• 18:23
  Prize game and say the word, we are just going to play one game
• 18:27
  today and that game is a new game that I'm calling Adventure.
• 18:33
  Here's what's going to happen. I wanted this finale to be kind
• 18:38
  of special, the kind of thing that gets better when you share
• 18:42
  it with other people. So I will not be asking any
• 18:46
  questions until the bonus round. Instead, I've enlisted 22
• 18:52
  friends of tough pigs. Oh.
• 18:55
  Boy, all to write the hardest questions that they could think
• 18:59
  of. Oh boy.
• 19:02
  I have saved to my computer 22 pre recorded questions from
• 19:09
  tough pigs writers, tough pigs, editors, friends of the site,
• 19:15
  past Hubble Wah guests, everybody under the sun and
• 19:20
  we're going to be going through them in order roughly from
• 19:24
  easiest to hardest. We are so screwed.
• 19:27
  Well, Becca, that sounds like a lot of fun, but I have to say,
• 19:30
  when you said that the theme was going to be Adventure, I thought
• 19:32
  for sure you were talking about the Sesame Street and Vogue song
• 19:35
  Adventure. It's almost like that's the
• 19:37
  audio clip that I'm going to play in a second.
• 19:41
  Perfect. Let's think of this as a a great
• 19:45
  big adventure. Yeah.
• 19:49
  An. Adventure.
• 19:52
  An adventure is something we promise is gonna excite.
• 19:56
  You. An adventure.
• 20:01
  I have arranged these, like I said, roughly from easiest to
• 20:03
  hardest, right? Well, that's a little
• 20:06
  subjective, isn't? It it sure is.
• 20:08
  I sure is. And I I listen.
• 20:10
  I tried to be. Every episode, I try to arrange
• 20:13
  the questions roughly in an order, and it always is
• 20:16
  subjective. And usually it's subjective,
• 20:18
  because I vividly remember some kind of sketch from like 80s
• 20:23
  Sesame Street that no one else does.
• 20:26
  Like when Anthony didn't know about the Grouch song and
• 20:30
  completely botched my introduction as a result.
• 20:34
  Because I asked him if he wakes up in the morning mean and
• 20:36
  grumpy and frowns at everybody that he sees and likes his ice
• 20:39
  and likes his oatmeal nice and cold and lumpy.
• 20:42
  And he said, I don't know what you're talking about, so.
• 20:50
  You thought you were just being rude to him.
• 20:55
  Oscar would be proud. So anyway, you'll hear that.
• 20:58
  But the folks at home have heard this.
• 21:00
  This is the last episode of the season.
• 21:01
  Anyway, each of these questions is going to be worth 10 points.
• 21:06
  Now, when the audio clip that I play is over, you can buzz in to
• 21:11
  answer. So take a deep breath and let's
• 21:15
  go. We're gonna start with some
• 21:19
  easier questions. Hi, Shane.
• 21:22
  Remember Me? Yeah, I remember him.
• 21:26
  Well, you should buzz in, Shane. Well, that's, that's Ryan Rowe,
• 21:37
  is it not? Why that is Ryan Rowe.
• 21:39
  And here's a that is not worth 10 points.
• 21:42
  Here's a question from Ryan Rowe.
• 21:46
  It's Ryan Rowe from toughpicks.com.
• 21:48
  My question is about the Jim Henson Hour, specifically
• 21:51
  something from the half hour production Song of the Cloud
• 21:56
  Forest that aired as part of the Jim Henson Hour.
• 21:59
  The main character of Song of the Cloud Forest is a toad named
• 22:03
  Milton who lives in the rain forest and he is afraid that he
• 22:08
  might be the only one left of his species.
• 22:11
  But over the course of the half hour he does discover another
• 22:16
  toad, apparently of his same species.
• 22:19
  So my question is, what is the name of the other toad and which
• 22:25
  Muppet performer performed that other toad?
• 22:30
  And I will tell you that before I decided on this question, I
• 22:35
  checked this character's Muppet Wiki page to see whether you had
• 22:39
  ever edited it. And you have never edited it.
• 22:42
  So let's see if you can get this one.
• 22:46
  I'll take my answer off the air. All right.
• 22:52
  That's Tony. Tony.
• 22:56
  I think her name is Rose, but I know she's performed by Camille
• 23:00
  Bonaro. OK, I am going to, well, I'll
• 23:04
  play the answer in a second, but I will say you.
• 23:07
  Are oh wait wait wait wait. I just remembered.
• 23:09
  OK, Ruth it is. Well, why am I saying that?
• 23:16
  OK, the answer is the other Toad in Song of the Cloud Forest is
• 23:21
  named Ruth Milton, and Ruth and Ruth was performed by Camille
• 23:29
  Benora, who was kind of like one of the Muppet MVPS in those
• 23:33
  days. Ruth performed by Camille
• 23:36
  Benora. That's the answer.
• 23:37
  Did you get it right? Did you get it?
• 23:41
  I guess I'll have to wait and find out when this episode airs.
• 23:46
  OK. Bye.
• 23:48
  Bye, Ryan. All right.
• 23:50
  So Tony, you are correct. It was Ruth and Camille Bonora,
• 23:55
  I have given you 10 points for each of those correct answers
• 23:58
  because Ryan kind of had a two-part question there.
• 24:03
  We're going to move on to our next question unless anyone has
• 24:06
  anything they want to say about Ruth and Song of the Cloud
• 24:08
  Forest. Scott Shane Did you know?
• 24:11
  I had a reasonable guess on her performer, but I didn't want to
• 24:15
  give a half answer. Yeah, I.
• 24:17
  Think I didn't think I could. I was pretty sure it was Camille
• 24:20
  also, but I had no idea what the character's name was.
• 24:22
  But I I will say that if if anybody out there has not seen
• 24:25
  the special, it's it's beautiful.
• 24:27
  You should check it out. I think it's it's usually on
• 24:29
  Amazon Prime. It looks dated, but it's
• 24:31
  beautiful. And we have all the the
• 24:35
  storyboards now on Muppet wiki thanks to thanks to our friend
• 24:39
  Grant. Yeah, Grant, Grant dug up a
• 24:41
  bunch of stuff on on those and they, they look terrific.
• 24:44
  Special about the Rainforest on Amazon.
• 24:47
  Go figure. Well, I'm going to move on to
• 24:50
  the next question here. Hello.
• 24:52
  Hello. What's your favorite Muppet Wiki
• 24:54
  admin speaking? Who am I?
• 24:56
  Nope, sorry, you got the question wrong.
• 24:58
  I am not Danny Horn. It's Gab.
• 25:00
  Hey guys, here is your question. In the Muppet movie, Gonzo
• 25:05
  crashes into Kermit and Fozzie Studebaker.
• 25:07
  We know this, but in a deleted scene that traces of can still
• 25:10
  be found in the final cut. What distracts Gonzo on the side
• 25:14
  of the road that makes him crash into Kermit and Fozzie?
• 25:18
  Bonus points if you could tell me which famous celebrity Frank
• 25:20
  Oz has a 30 year feud with Shane.
• 25:27
  You were the first to buzz in. What is it that distracts Gonzo
• 25:30
  and makes him crash the Studebaker?
• 25:33
  I mean crash the truck into the Studebaker.
• 25:37
  So if I recall correctly, there's a a deleted part where
• 25:42
  Doc Hopper is in the back seat of his car eating something
• 25:46
  involving syrup and then they crash or something and he gets
• 25:49
  covered in feathers because of the syrup.
• 25:52
  It feathers stick to him and I'm assuming Gonzo mistakes him for
• 25:56
  a giant chicken and that's what causes him to lose sight.
• 26:00
  Shane Oh, does anyone have an answer to the second part of
• 26:04
  Gav's question? I'll take a stab, Richard
• 26:08
  Dreyfuss. That's not what Gav is looking
• 26:11
  for. I don't understand the second
• 26:12
  part of Gav's question. I'm going to be real with you.
• 26:16
  A 30 year feud, I I don't know. I was going to say Marlon
• 26:19
  Brando, but that only goes back to when they worked together in
• 26:23
  the score and I don't think it's been 30 years since that.
• 26:26
  I don't know what Gav was looking for with that.
• 26:30
  All I know is that this is the clip Gav has provided for us.
• 26:33
  The answer is Doc Hopper covered in feathers.
• 26:37
  And if you got the answer to the bonus question, it's Cher.
• 26:40
  I don't know what Gav is talking about.
• 26:42
  This feels like an inside joke. OK.
• 26:46
  But I have no clue either. But Shane, you are right about
• 26:50
  the feathers. So I will give you 10 points for
• 26:53
  that. Woo.
• 26:55
  All right. Next question, are we doing OK
• 26:58
  by the way? I.
• 26:59
  Guess doing good. We're OK.
• 27:02
  We're OK with this departure from form.
• 27:04
  Oh, that's perfect. OK.
• 27:07
  Hello, Hubba Wah contestants, This is David Levy from
• 27:10
  Muppetergy Two Time Hubba Wah Champion. myself and I have a
• 27:14
  question for you today. And that question is, that's
• 27:22
  right. The question is going to be who,
• 27:23
  Specifically in this classic song from the 1925 musical Sunny
• 27:29
  Music by Jerome Kern, lyrics by Otto Harbach and Oscar
• 27:33
  Hammerstein, the second Zelda Rose and her singing owl.
• 27:36
  Asked the question who but? What I ask of you is who is
• 27:41
  performing Zelda Rose? Now you may know this version of
• 27:44
  the song better. That's from The Muppet Show
• 27:58
  album too, where Louise Gold re recorded the song, but she did
• 28:01
  not perform the song on The Muppet Show itself.
• 28:04
  Performs Zelda Rose when she sang the song on The Muppet
• 28:07
  Show. Cody.
• 28:17
  I'm going to guess I think her name is The Muppet Show is.
• 28:23
  I'm not as good at identifying identifying some performers on
• 28:29
  there, but one of the names I think it's Rachenda Carey or
• 28:36
  something like that. Hey, Rachenda Carey is not
• 28:40
  correct. Anyone able to steal Shane?
• 28:46
  I think first let me say this is the most muppet turgy question.
• 28:50
  Ever I was, I was so happy. It's it's really great because I
• 28:56
  feel like everybody submitted a very them question.
• 29:01
  When it started, I was very concerned he was going to ask
• 29:03
  who wrote it or something about the song's original context,
• 29:06
  because that would be so on brand for them.
• 29:09
  It is actually a muppet question.
• 29:12
  David did not break my rules. I I think that singer.
• 29:17
  Her name is Abby Hayfield. Shane, you are so close.
• 29:24
  Is it Abby Hayward? No.
• 29:28
  Darn. I'm sorry, the correct answer is
• 29:30
  Abby Hadfield. You may remember that in season
• 29:32
  two of The Muppet Show, they brought in three different
• 29:35
  female performers to audition for.
• 29:36
  The spot left bacon when Aaron Oscar left the show.
• 29:38
  This was Abby Hadfield's audition and unfortunately this
• 29:42
  was her only performance because she did not get the spot.
• 29:45
  Off by 1 syllable. I'm, I'm, I'm being that much of
• 29:48
  A stickler because this is the finale.
• 29:50
  I don't. I don't have, I don't have to be
• 29:52
  nice. I I like that his pre recorded
• 29:55
  response started with I'm sorry, assuming that we were going to
• 29:57
  get it wrong. Here's the here's the thing
• 29:59
  about here's the thing about David.
• 30:02
  David is a consummate theatre professional.
• 30:04
  Because David also provided me with this.
• 30:06
  That's right. The answer is Abby Hatfield.
• 30:09
  You may remember that in season two of The Muppet Show, after
• 30:11
  Aaron. So it's the same thing, but he
• 30:13
  he recorded it twice but in a different tone.
• 30:17
  Well done all. Right, moving on to the 4th
• 30:23
  question here. Hi, this is Fergie.
• 30:25
  Philippe, as we all know, the stars of Star Wars once famously
• 30:29
  appeared on The Muppet Show. Part of the reason of this
• 30:32
  happening was due to the convenience of Star Wars filming
• 30:35
  at this famous film studio across the street from ATV.
• 30:39
  What was the name of the film studio, Scott?
• 30:47
  I believe that was Elstree Studio.
• 30:49
  The answer is Elstree Studios correct.
• 30:53
  Yay. It's also where Superman was
• 30:56
  filming and Jim Henson and Frank Oz became friends with
• 30:59
  Christopher Reeve and invited him to puppeteer in his extra
• 31:03
  trivia. Question.
• 31:03
  Which episode? The Bob Hope episode.
• 31:07
  Oh, the Bob Hope episode. That's right.
• 31:09
  Who does he play and who does he play?
• 31:11
  But no, he was just he was around and was messing around
• 31:15
  one day and he performed one of the Japanese pulp vaulters in
• 31:18
  the Bob Hope episode. I just grabbed a stick and waved
• 31:22
  it across the screen. Yeah, right.
• 31:25
  It's a pole, not a stick. It's very important terminology.
• 31:30
  Tony, have you heard of the telephone pole?
• 31:32
  It's. Just going to go there.
• 31:35
  See, this is the problem is we all we all have too many of the
• 31:38
  same cultural touchstones. Mike Osnowitzky.
• 31:44
  All right, here we go with the next one.
• 31:46
  Hi, this is Joe Hennis, co-owner and editor in chief of
• 31:49
  toughpigs.com, but also the executive producer of this
• 31:52
  podcast. I sure do have a lot of titles,
• 31:55
  which must mean I'm pretty important.
• 31:56
  So this question is going to be all about me.
• 32:00
  In 2014, I appeared as an extra on Sesame Street Episode #45 O
• 32:04
  4IN which I play a character cosplaying as a superhero at
• 32:07
  Numericom. Unlike most of the other
• 32:10
  costumed extras in that episode, I actually provided my own
• 32:12
  costume based on an existing superhero.
• 32:15
  Can you name the superhero I was originally dressed as, as well
• 32:20
  as the number I wore on my chest to help change it?
• 32:22
  Just enough so Sesame Workshop wouldn't get sued?
• 32:29
  Shane. He's invincible.
• 32:35
  Is that his name? He's the guy from Invincible.
• 32:38
  Yes, yes. I will say yes.
• 32:41
  I know I want to play the audio clip, but it's tough when they
• 32:43
  give me these two-part questions.
• 32:46
  So Shane, I will give you a point for that.
• 32:48
  Do you have a guess as to what number is on Joe's chest?
• 32:52
  I think is it 5. My costume was originally a
• 32:56
  cosplay of the character Invincible, who was obscure in
• 33:00
  2014, but now he's the star of his own animated series on
• 33:03
  Amazon Prime. The number I wore on my chest
• 33:06
  was the number six. I hope this game ends in a tie.
• 33:10
  Goodbye. I'm sorry.
• 33:12
  I should. I should have let other people
• 33:14
  guess, but you guys just would have been guessing.
• 33:16
  I I remember that. And the reason I remember that
• 33:19
  is I remember Joe cosplaying as Invincible at cons.
• 33:24
  I've I've known Joe for long enough that I I knew Joe before.
• 33:28
  Sesame Street Episode 4505. I only remember it because he
• 33:34
  brought it up this year at Comic Con.
• 33:36
  No, I wasn't at Comic Con this year.
• 33:38
  I was at Comic Con the year he dressed as Invincible.
• 33:42
  I I don't think I realized that that's what he was dressed as in
• 33:45
  that episode. If I had, I probably would have
• 33:48
  started an invincible article on the wiki, which I don't think we
• 33:52
  have yet. Well.
• 33:54
  Because that that that counts as Sesame Street referencing
• 33:57
  Invincible. True and Invincible is a popular
• 34:00
  series now, which it was not when Sesame Street episode 4505
• 34:04
  aired. Yeah, we can tap into all those
• 34:07
  memes, yeah. Worst hubba wah question ever.
• 34:13
  Thank you, Tony. All right, here's another one.
• 34:17
  Greetings and salutations, Hubblewa listeners.
• 34:20
  Hello, Becca. Hello, Muppet Wiki, this is JD
• 34:22
  Hansel from toughpigs.com. And I've got a question about
• 34:26
  something that all of us think about all the time.
• 34:28
  My Muppets show that 2013 mobile game at Tough Pigs.
• 34:32
  We really do think about it surprisingly often.
• 34:35
  Of course, we think about all of its original characters.
• 34:38
  Cody Harvey, Big MO, The Devets, Durwood Clapper.
• 34:43
  Obviously. Jack Strumley, Kizzy Blues Man
• 34:46
  but spelled BLOOSMAN. Myron Bellows Hera Thump boomer.
• 34:54
  There's there's one character who I've left out here, and
• 34:57
  that's actually your question. Who's the character who I
• 35:00
  haven't mentioned? And as your hint, it's the
• 35:02
  character who is named after a Muppet who was introduced.
• 35:06
  Just a few years earlier. Scott.
• 35:10
  That would be the steampunk inspired 1880s robot.
• 35:15
  The correct answer is 1880s robot, of course, named after
• 35:21
  80s robot from the 2011 film The Muppets.
• 35:25
  You've seen it. You should have known this.
• 35:27
  You all should have known all of these answers, Scott.
• 35:31
  I don't know. I had a feeling that you knew
• 35:33
  this. 1880s robot is unironically the character I
• 35:38
  absolutely would die to have apvc figure of.
• 35:44
  I want to be clear for those folks at home, so I'm not really
• 35:47
  being as much of A stickler for the like wait until the question
• 35:49
  is over to buzz in especially cause a lot of these people are
• 35:52
  not like giving signals when their questions are over because
• 35:55
  they are not, you know, trained professional game show hosts
• 35:59
  like myself. Scott buzzed in well before J DS
• 36:06
  Clue about it being based on another character.
• 36:09
  Scott knew that this character was 1880s robot before JD even
• 36:16
  started to say that he was based on another character.
• 36:21
  Hey, 1880s robot for Life, OK? Great.
• 36:27
  I'm very surprised JD did not ask a question about the cube.
• 36:31
  I am too, to be honest. Again, most people asked about
• 36:34
  his. Personal brand.
• 36:35
  Most people asked about like, their thing, but not JD Hello
• 36:40
  Hupawa, contestants and listeners, this is Ren, noted
• 36:45
  Henson Company Stan of the Tough Pigs Extended Universe.
• 36:49
  And here is my trivia question for you all in the Farscape
• 36:54
  episode A Constellation of Doubt.
• 36:56
  And I will pause for groans at the mention of Farscape Ryan
• 37:00
  Henson cameos as a Stanford University professor.
• 37:04
  What was the name of that Stanford University professor
• 37:12
  Shane? His professor's name was Matt
• 37:17
  Foley, motivational speaker. No.
• 37:24
  Anyone else have a guess? Of course, we don't have a
• 37:28
  guess. Listen, you don't.
• 37:31
  You don't. You don't.
• 37:32
  Look at the Muppeteer Cameos slash performer references.
• 37:38
  Muppeteer. Oh Lord, I just, said.
• 37:41
  Muppeteer You're. Disqualified Becca.
• 37:46
  And you said you were a professional.
• 37:48
  I Brian, I'm sorry, I could edit this out, but I won't.
• 37:53
  I won't. We won't let you edit it out.
• 37:55
  It's fine. There are plenty of documents
• 37:57
  that have the word Muppeteer in them.
• 37:58
  It's it's OK to use. Yeah, I was reading the Salmon
• 38:02
  Friends book, and there's definitely some.
• 38:06
  Not that. Not that, not that that Craig
• 38:10
  Shaman would ever use the word muppeteer, but there's like some
• 38:12
  primary sources in here that that do, definitely.
• 38:16
  Can I guess again? No.
• 38:18
  Anyone else want to guess for this one?
• 38:20
  Professor Hastings. No, unfortunately I.
• 38:22
  Wish should be. Professor Farscape.
• 38:29
  The answer I'm looking for is Edmund Johnston.
• 38:34
  OK, of course. I thought if you guys knew
• 38:37
  anything about Farscape, it would be the Brian Henson cameo.
• 38:40
  I know the Kermit the Frog cameo.
• 38:42
  That's it. That's, yeah, I was going to say
• 38:44
  the same. Moving on to a question about
• 38:46
  something you have seen the review of Elmo Palooza.
• 38:51
  Who is Bert's hero? What film did he direct?
• 38:54
  That is of course from our good friend Iffy.
• 38:57
  I don't know why, if he didn't introduce himself there.
• 39:00
  So just to repeat, the question was in Elmo Palooza, who is
• 39:04
  Bert's hero and what film did he direct?
• 39:12
  Shane. Bert's in the special.
• 39:16
  Ernie and Bert are in the director's booth at Radio City
• 39:19
  Music Hall, and Bert is the role as the director.
• 39:22
  And he says his directorial hero is Alfred Sweetsock, the
• 39:27
  director of that timeless classic The Pigeons.
• 39:31
  Bert's hero is Alfred Sweetsock, director of the timeless classic
• 39:36
  The Pigeons. I like how you all you both know
• 39:39
  the words. Exactly so.
• 39:42
  Oh, I had that tape. So, you know, that dialogue is
• 39:45
  burned into my brain. And obviously, for those people
• 39:50
  at home, The Pigeons is a spin on the Alfred Hitchcock movie
• 39:54
  North by Northwest. No, follow that Bird is a is a
• 40:00
  spin on North by Northwest, of course.
• 40:07
  All right. Next question is about Muppet
• 40:09
  Wiki. Hello, this is Mike Westfall,
• 40:12
  host of the Advent Calendar House and Funny Scary Joe
• 40:15
  Connoisseur. And my question is about Emmett
• 40:18
  Otter's jug band Christmas we all love.
• 40:20
  Watching it every year, but for some of us present company very
• 40:24
  included. It's important to make sure
• 40:27
  you're watching a copy that has little content cut as possible.
• 40:31
  Finding the right version for you can be tricky because there
• 40:34
  have been quite a few different edits over the years, including
• 40:38
  the original airing. How many different edits of
• 40:41
  Emmett Otter's jug Band Christmas are out there?
• 40:45
  I mean as recognized by Muppet Wiki.
• 40:47
  Sorry, the copy where your mom tried to skip recording the
• 40:50
  commercials when it aired on Nickelodeon doesn't count.
• 40:57
  Tony. I'm going to have to talk my way
• 41:00
  through this. OK.
• 41:03
  First of the 1977 version, then the 80 version with Kermit's
• 41:10
  dialogue added, and I think the third version would be the home
• 41:15
  video releases and the 4th the DVD release that cuts Kermit and
• 41:24
  5th would be the current one. So 5.
• 41:30
  Yes, I think it's 5. I'm sorry, that is not the
• 41:34
  correct answer, Scott, you buzzed in, so you can steal.
• 41:39
  I was going to do exactly what Tony just did and walk my way
• 41:42
  through it because I didn't know definitively.
• 41:46
  I would say that there's, well, there's at least one more, but
• 41:50
  maybe it's more than one more. This is according to you guys.
• 41:55
  MM says that these are the ones that you recognize.
• 41:59
  Yeah, if only I had that table memorized.
• 42:04
  You don't have every every article on your your website
• 42:08
  memorized. All 44,000 or however many we've
• 42:11
  got now I'm going to, I'm going to say, I'm going to say 7.
• 42:17
  Well, let's see. We have the original edit from
• 42:19
  1977 and edit from 1981 In 1996, the completely Kermit list edit
• 42:26
  from 2005, a remastered edit in 2015 for ABC Family.
• 42:31
  A different variation of that remaster used for home video and
• 42:35
  streaming. And apparently Craig Shemin
• 42:38
  pieced together an edit with every available scene for
• 42:41
  screenings by the Jim Henson legacy.
• 42:44
  So counting that one, that makes 7 different cuts mentioned on
• 42:49
  the Muppet Wiki entry for Emmett Otter's Jug Band Christmas.
• 42:52
  Edits. Bravo.
• 42:55
  Lucky guess Tony, you you did most of the light work on on
• 43:00
  that for me, so I'm going to have to defer some of my points
• 43:02
  to. Unfortunately, unfortunately
• 43:05
  that's sometimes the way that it goes when we allow for steals.
• 43:09
  But yeah, 7 versions and I will say other than Craig's version,
• 43:14
  which is obviously the superior one and I've had the fortune of
• 43:17
  seeing once I'm partial to the new version that's on streaming
• 43:22
  on Amazon and on Blu-ray right now.
• 43:24
  That's the one that that that I swear by.
• 43:27
  As as far as as far as I know, I think the Blu-ray version is
• 43:30
  complete with the exception of the.
• 43:33
  I think it's three Kermit voice over lines, not not Kermit on
• 43:39
  screen. And the reason was because they
• 43:40
  were trying to be true to the original original version, which
• 43:44
  it kind of. It's kind of a bummer that they
• 43:46
  don't include the the lines, but I I get why that was done.
• 43:49
  I prefer it without having seen it, both with and without the
• 43:52
  Kermit lines. I think they're superfluous.
• 43:54
  I like him at the beginning and the end, but I don't think you
• 43:57
  need him saying what's going on. I think the The Movie shows you
• 44:01
  what's going on through the actions of the characters.
• 44:04
  That that's very right. I think I'd I'd probably have a
• 44:07
  tape from TV version that had the Kermit voice over.
• 44:10
  So that's I get it. It all depends on what you grew
• 44:12
  up with and. Those were those were really
• 44:14
  there, I think because they had commercial breaks.
• 44:18
  So you need a little something to remind people of where you
• 44:22
  are in the story. For example, you might need a
• 44:25
  little Christmas right this very minute, and it helps to be
• 44:29
  reminded of that. Well, don't remind us that that
• 44:32
  special isn't uncut anywhere. I.
• 44:35
  Don't. Know what you're talking about,
• 44:37
  Shane? Shane, you were you were you?
• 44:41
  Was it you or Tony? I'm actually, I know we're
• 44:43
  getting off topic, but this is the kind of off topic that I
• 44:45
  love and our audience at home loves, too.
• 44:47
  One of you two, Shane or Tony, mentioned that there's an
• 44:49
  additional scene that only aired once with Fozzie and Elmo.
• 44:54
  Is this a real thing that happened?
• 44:56
  It's. Just like a really quick thing.
• 45:00
  So just like before the Carol medley, there's just a really
• 45:05
  short thing of Elmo and Fozzie turning on the lights of the
• 45:08
  Christmas tree. It's like 5 seconds.
• 45:11
  Why was it cut? I think.
• 45:15
  Time. It might have been because I
• 45:18
  think. It's after its first position I
• 45:20
  think. Yeah, after the first broadcast,
• 45:22
  they like readjusted where the commercial breaks might have
• 45:25
  been and that just got cut out because it was coming in from a
• 45:30
  commercial. It was a YouTube copy and Shane
• 45:33
  noticed that a couple of scenes were cut.
• 45:36
  It it was a it was a YouTube copy that was like branding
• 45:40
  itself as uncut. And I tried to be Mr. Pedantic
• 45:44
  and say that it isn't. Speaking of of commercials,
• 45:48
  personally I can't. Well, I I prefer watching the
• 45:52
  special with the original commercials because I watched it
• 45:55
  when it original aired. But the best one is a bumper
• 45:58
  that they did with Kermit and Fozzie.
• 46:00
  Where Kermit, you know, it's like 10 seconds or whatever and
• 46:02
  Kermit does. You can see this on YouTube.
• 46:05
  Kermit says that the audience, you know, Muppet Family
• 46:07
  Christmas, we'll be right back or whatever.
• 46:08
  But behind Kermit you can see Fozzie puppeteering 2 Little
• 46:15
  they. I think they might be like
• 46:16
  little plush Christmas ornaments or something like that.
• 46:19
  It's just it's just a delightful moment.
• 46:21
  It reminds me of a lot of the The Muppet Show promos where
• 46:24
  they would just mess around and do stuff like that.
• 46:28
  You just wave him around and he was gone.
• 46:29
  Mirka. It was Merka.
• 46:30
  Just Merka. That's right.
• 46:32
  This is this is always a conversation on Speaking of Mike
• 46:35
  Westfall but on Advent Calendar House the watching it with the
• 46:39
  commercials in is a big theme on on that show.
• 46:45
  Oshkosh Begash. All right.
• 46:49
  Next question. Hey, it's me call from Muppet
• 46:52
  Urgy. And I want to know which Muppet
• 46:54
  performer lent their voice to the 1975 radio series Fantastic
• 46:58
  Four Shane. I'm going to take a guess and
• 47:08
  say Jerry Nelson. It's not Jerry Nelson.
• 47:13
  Does anybody else want to try to steal?
• 47:15
  Ouch. Scott.
• 47:17
  I I was going to guess Jerry Nelson as well but I would I'll,
• 47:21
  I'll say there's there's no way this is this is it But Louise
• 47:24
  Gold would be my guess. It's also not Louise Gold, Tony.
• 47:33
  Katherine Mullen. It's not Kathy Mullen either.
• 47:36
  Who is it? Fantastic Four was a 13 episode
• 47:39
  radio drama based on the Marvel comic series.
• 47:42
  The cast included Stan Lee as the narrator, Bill Murray as the
• 47:46
  Human Torch, and Muppet performer Cynthia Adler, known
• 47:50
  to Muppet fans for her unforgettable performance as The
• 47:53
  Duck in the Bruce Forsyth episode as The Invisible Girl.
• 47:58
  Cute, cute reference. Well, that, that's trivia.
• 48:04
  Arguably trivia. She was a performer.
• 48:07
  She performed A Muppet. And that Muppet.
• 48:10
  That Muppet was a duck on one episode of The Muppet Show.
• 48:16
  And you know what? It's on Muppet Wiki.
• 48:19
  I checked. You have a page about this this
• 48:23
  Fantastic Four radio show with links to both Bill Murray and
• 48:26
  Cynthia Adler. Well, radio.
• 48:29
  Radio is really Andrew's specialty.
• 48:32
  I couldn't have every every Muppet wiki person on.
• 48:37
  Well, on the on the topic of Stan Lee for an extra bit of
• 48:40
  trivia, I it's possible that Stan Lee's Stan Lee became well,
• 48:47
  he was famous for being Stan Lee, but he became more famous
• 48:51
  to a wider audience for making his on screen cameos.
• 48:54
  One of his first ones that he ever did was in an episode of
• 48:56
  Muppet Babies, and I've looked into this.
• 49:00
  It's very close to when his first credited on screen cameo
• 49:06
  is in the trial of the Incredible Hulk ATV movie that
• 49:11
  aired in the same year and I I'm trying to pin down the filming
• 49:15
  dates. I need to find out when he
• 49:16
  actually recorded his Muppet Babies bit, but it's quite
• 49:20
  possible that it predates that, meaning that Muppet Babies could
• 49:23
  possibly be his very first on screen cameo that he did in
• 49:26
  something. Whoa.
• 49:28
  Not not confirmed yet, but it's it's very close.
• 49:31
  It certainly is on screen cameo first.
• 49:34
  On screen cameo, I wonder, I guess there weren't like was
• 49:38
  there like a Marvel VHS, you know, that was like Stan Lee,
• 49:41
  explains the Marvel Universe. How to draw Spider Man?
• 49:45
  Yeah, like, but certainly his first cameo.
• 49:47
  I mean, or that. Or the Incredible Hulk.
• 49:49
  Absolutely. Real cool.
• 49:52
  Hello. It's Beth from Tough Pigs here
• 49:55
  with a trivia question about my favorite obscure Henson
• 49:57
  production, The Tale of the Bunny Picnic.
• 50:01
  What is the name that the dog eventually adopts for himself?
• 50:08
  Tony. It was me.
• 50:14
  The name that the dog gets is B Dock, the diddly Dog Pop.
• 50:20
  The answer, of course, is Mr. Dee Dopp Dee Diddly, Dog Bop.
• 50:24
  Oh Mr. Dee Dopp diddly dog bop to you.
• 50:27
  Tony, I'll give it to you without the Mr. I think that's
• 50:30
  fine. Mr. is his father.
• 50:34
  Nice work. I have actually never seen
• 50:36
  tales. Tales from the Bunny pic tale.
• 50:38
  Oh, it's delightful. Tale of the Bunny Picnic.
• 50:41
  And I want to change that, especially because I know Beth
• 50:44
  has talked about it repeatedly. How much?
• 50:48
  How much she loves it. But I have not seen it yet and
• 50:51
  that's something that I hope to change.
• 50:53
  It's. Almost like a mix of The Muppet
• 50:55
  Show and Fraggle Rock because it's taped in England, but the
• 50:59
  music comes from Phil Balsam and Dennis Lee.
• 51:02
  The music sounds exactly like any freckle song you could think
• 51:05
  of. Hi.
• 51:07
  My name is Cypress, but you might also know me as Newman,
• 51:11
  and my pronouns are he, him. Here's a question.
• 51:16
  What does Disney's 2002 movie The Country Bears, the hit song
• 51:20
  We Are the World, and beloved children's educational program
• 51:23
  Sesame Street all have in common other than Henson involvement.
• 51:29
  So I'll give you a clue. Moomin is looking for a specific
• 51:34
  person who appeared in all three of those things other than
• 51:40
  Henson involve the general Henson involvement.
• 51:44
  Scott. I'm going to say Lionel Richie.
• 51:47
  It is not Lionel Richie, but you're thinking in the right
• 51:49
  direction, Shane. I'm going to say Queen Latifah.
• 51:53
  It's not Queen Latifah. She's in the country bears
• 51:57
  though, right? She is, but I don't think she's
• 51:59
  in the We or the World video. Tony, do you have a guess?
• 52:10
  Paul Simon I don't know. The answer is Robert, a
• 52:16
  musician. Wyclef Jean.
• 52:18
  It's Wyclef Jean, obviously. Oh, you probably sang with
• 52:22
  Cookie Monster. Yeah, it.
• 52:24
  Sure is the guy who sang with Cookie Monster.
• 52:26
  Is so he's not in the original We are the world, right?
• 52:30
  Or is he in like a re recording? You know, I didn't think to
• 52:33
  check this. 'Cause that's what I my brain
• 52:36
  was stuck on that and I should know better because I think just
• 52:39
  within this past year, I think we just got a We Are the World
• 52:43
  article on Muppet Wiki. So I I should know the answer to
• 52:47
  this? Where's Where's Wyclef Jean in
• 52:53
  the Country Bears again? I think at the very end there's
• 52:57
  a montage of it's either the end or the beginning.
• 53:00
  There's two montages of celebrities saying that they
• 53:03
  learned everything they know from from the country bears.
• 53:12
  Yeah, so, so Wyclef Jean, I don't know how you say his name,
• 53:17
  he he is in the the 2010 version.
• 53:20
  OK, but not the original, all right?
• 53:22
  Yeah, he's. I think he's too young to have
• 53:24
  been in the original. Yeah.
• 53:27
  Is Elton John in We Are the World?
• 53:29
  No, apparently not. I'm looking right now because
• 53:33
  that would be actually Elton John was never on Sesame Street.
• 53:37
  Well, I was gonna say if he was in We Are the World, he Needs to
• 53:40
  be on Sesame Street to complete the hat trick.
• 53:44
  Willie Nelson also was not on Sesame Street, correct?
• 53:47
  Because Willie Nelson is in both We Are the World and Country
• 53:50
  Bears. Was Willie Nelson?
• 53:53
  Was he on that that in Harmony Record?
• 53:57
  He wasn't on that. Was he I?
• 53:59
  Don't think so. Yeah, yeah, he definitely wasn't
• 54:04
  on Sesame Street. But I I I thought maybe he would
• 54:07
  was. I don't know.
• 54:07
  Probably not. Was Zeb Zuber on Sesame Street?
• 54:12
  No. Was he?
• 54:13
  And we are the world. Yes.
• 54:15
  Wow, I can't believe it. Zeb.
• 54:17
  He's only in it for the honey and like I do in every episode
• 54:21
  and like no one at home ever can see.
• 54:24
  But here's my Zeb Zuber right here.
• 54:28
  Horrifying. I've got Zeb next to my desk,
• 54:31
  and also Big Al and Henry and one of the better head brothers.
• 54:39
  I always forget their first names.
• 54:41
  It's Fred and Ted, but I always forget which is which.
• 54:45
  I guess I'm not a true Country Bears 2002 fan.
• 54:48
  Next question. Hey, it's Adam from Muppet Urgy.
• 54:53
  Jillian Lynn was the choreographer for about half of
• 54:56
  the episodes of The Muppet Show. Miss Lynn is most famous for
• 54:59
  choreographing the original West End and Broadway productions of
• 55:02
  Cats and The Phantom of the Opera.
• 55:04
  What was her first Broadway show as a choreographer?
• 55:09
  Yeah, here's a Muppet Turkey question.
• 55:10
  That is a that. That's a Muppet Turkey question
• 55:12
  for sure. I can give a hint for this one
• 55:16
  if nobody knows. A hint would be good.
• 55:21
  Tony, did you go? Back to Hart, could we go back
• 55:23
  to Muppet Wiki questions? We'll get back.
• 55:27
  The next couple have Muppet Wiki answers, not this one.
• 55:30
  I'll give a hint because Adam has provided 1.
• 55:33
  Thank you. And I don't know if we're doing
• 55:36
  hints, but in case we're doing hints, the show ran on Broadway
• 55:40
  from May 16th, 1965 to December 4th, 1965.
• 55:47
  That's not a hint, that's just more information.
• 55:52
  Scott. Was it?
• 55:57
  What's it called? It's probably not, but I'm
• 55:58
  making a good guess just based on the era and how short it ran.
• 56:02
  The It's a bird. It's a plane in Superman.
• 56:07
  It is not, but that's a great guess, Shane.
• 56:12
  Is it follies? It is not follies good guess or
• 56:19
  OK guess I. Don't.
• 56:21
  Know. All right, here's the answer.
• 56:23
  Well, wait, wait, does Tony want to take a guess?
• 56:26
  I'm sorry, Tony. Oh sure, I'm I'm I'll go with
• 56:34
  something like I don't know, jabor Jabor, I don't know.
• 56:43
  Jabor. The roar of the grease paint,
• 56:45
  the smell of the crowd. That's right.
• 56:47
  It was the roar of the grease paint, the smell of the crowd.
• 56:52
  Of course, stupid me. Wait a minute, wasn't there a
• 56:58
  song on The Muppet Show from that?
• 57:01
  I don't know. Or have some muppet turgy would
• 57:04
  well have the answer. You'll just have to listen to
• 57:06
  all the episodes. Yeah, you have to check the
• 57:09
  Muppet Turgy wiki for that one. I remember seeing in the Muppet
• 57:13
  Show book the That Roar of the Grease Paint title.
• 57:18
  That might be a lyric. You are right, Tony, Tony, Tony,
• 57:24
  Tony, Tony specifically. Guy named Tony got the musical
• 57:30
  question. Go figure.
• 57:32
  A song. I mean, you you you didn't get
• 57:35
  the question. But I mean, listen, I'll, I'll
• 57:38
  give you. I'll give you half a point for
• 57:40
  that because that's just a cool thing.
• 57:41
  Cool thing to remember. It was of course, a song that
• 57:46
  was also in the special Sesame Street Christmas in addition to
• 57:50
  being in the Muppet Show book. Can anyone think of a song
• 57:53
  that's both in the Muppet Show book and a special Sesame Street
• 57:57
  Christmas? Shane.
• 57:58
  Wait, yeah, that was Shane by a split second.
• 58:02
  Look at that face. It is.
• 58:03
  Look at that face is from the musical the roar of the grease
• 58:06
  paint, the smell of the crowd. And it goes on for 10 minutes in
• 58:11
  the special Sesame Street Christmas.
• 58:14
  And I bet it goes on even longer in the musical.
• 58:19
  All right. Next.
• 58:20
  Question. That's probably why I closed.
• 58:22
  Yeah, exactly. It only lasted like 3 months.
• 58:25
  The whole show is just the one song.
• 58:27
  Yeah, that's it. There's somebody out of window
• 58:29
  singing and. Looking at a face.
• 58:32
  To be clear, a special Sesame Street Christmas.
• 58:35
  That's the one where Ethel Merman calls Leslie Uggams an
• 58:38
  idiot, right? Yes.
• 58:39
  So that's the one, what you call Emmy Gene Coco?
• 58:41
  OK. All right.
• 58:42
  Sorry. It is not the one that you're
• 58:45
  thinking of folks at home and if you listen to tough pigs Worst
• 58:49
  of The Muppets podcast, Joe and Fergie did a great play by Play
• 58:53
  of It. It's a bad special.
• 58:56
  It is not the one you're thinking of.
• 58:58
  We're Bert and Ernie Do Gift of the Magi.
• 59:01
  Or the one where Elmo goes back in time.
• 59:04
  Or the one where Elmo's father tells him about a different back
• 59:08
  in time. Here's your next question.
• 59:15
  Hi, I'm Richard Michael Gomez, and no one really knows what I
• 59:19
  do. Everyone's favorite puppet band
• 59:23
  that backs up Coldplay. The Weirdos would be nothing
• 59:26
  without the keyboardist The Wizard, but that hasn't always
• 59:29
  been his identity. What was the keyboardist the
• 59:32
  wizard's identity before he joined that Coldplay backing
• 59:37
  band? And what show did he originally
• 59:40
  did? Cody.
• 59:46
  I believe that's libido from city kids.
• 59:52
  The keyboardist. The wizard's alternate identity
• 59:54
  before Coldplay was libido. And he came from City Kids,
• 1:00:00
  everyone's favorite Jim Henson show.
• 1:00:05
  Go city kids, go city kids just go.
• 1:00:08
  Just go. All right.
• 1:00:11
  Next. Puppets, but the show it's.
• 1:00:15
  The wizard is an incredible puppet.
• 1:00:17
  I love him. Great.
• 1:00:18
  Puppets but. Or I guess Libido is an
• 1:00:21
  incredible puppet. I love him, but the the weirdos
• 1:00:25
  are weird. City Kid, City Kids was.
• 1:00:31
  I remember sort of seeing it as a kid, but seeing it now, I'm
• 1:00:38
  only interested in pretty much the Muppet parts.
• 1:00:41
  And that's like what, 5% of the show?
• 1:00:45
  Yeah, but why was there a character named libido?
• 1:00:48
  Because it takes place in the mind.
• 1:00:51
  I'm going to the next question. Hey gang, it's Anthony.
• 1:00:55
  My question is about everyone's favorite Muppet project.
• 1:00:57
  That's right, Mother Goose stories.
• 1:00:59
  In episode 17, we meet Mother Hubbard, played by Karen Prell.
• 1:01:03
  We also meet Mother Hubbard's entire family, including her
• 1:01:06
  daughter Heather, played by a human, and her husband, who
• 1:01:10
  performed Old Mother Hubbard's husband.
• 1:01:13
  And what was the character's first name?
• 1:01:19
  Tony. I don't remember the first name,
• 1:01:24
  but I think it's Mac Wilson who performed them.
• 1:01:28
  OK, it is Mack Wilson, so I will give you one point.
• 1:01:32
  Does anybody know first name Shane?
• 1:01:38
  Is it old, father? Hubbard it is not.
• 1:01:42
  Scott, were you going to guess the same?
• 1:01:43
  That's. What I was going to say.
• 1:01:48
  I thought they were going to ask about what the dog's name was.
• 1:01:50
  Nope. And here is the answer.
• 1:01:54
  As you probably all knew, Old mother Hubbard's husband was
• 1:01:58
  named Sherlock Hubbard. He wore a deerstalker hat
• 1:02:03
  because of course he did, and he was performed by Moppetop
• 1:02:05
  himself, Mack Wilson. I want to be clear that Anthony
• 1:02:09
  sent that to me with the file name Hubbard Wah.
• 1:02:15
  Oh, that's good. I've, I've, I've seen the
• 1:02:17
  picture of that character on the wiki.
• 1:02:20
  I remember there being a Sherlock character, but I would
• 1:02:23
  absolutely never have put those two together because that would
• 1:02:27
  require Mother Goose stories to take up any space in my brain.
• 1:02:30
  I watched a bunch of them as a kid and I did not like it.
• 1:02:34
  Next question. I liked what they were trying to
• 1:02:37
  do. Yeah, but they didn't succeed.
• 1:02:41
  Oh no. By the way, the dog's name was
• 1:02:43
  Barkley. Oh, good to know.
• 1:02:45
  That's how. I know another dog named
• 1:02:48
  Barkley. I know a goldfish.
• 1:02:50
  Oh, that's true. I know that too.
• 1:02:52
  Anyway, next question. Oh, hello, I didn't see you
• 1:02:56
  there. We all know that the best Muppet
• 1:02:58
  in the world is Mr. Curly Twirly.
• 1:03:00
  He's made many appearances in things like The Muppet Christmas
• 1:03:03
  Carol, a Muppet Treasure Island, even in the audience of Muppets
• 1:03:06
  Tonight. But the puppet made an
• 1:03:08
  appearance in an episode of the wobulous world of Doctor Zeus.
• 1:03:12
  What was that character's name? Shane.
• 1:03:21
  I'm gonna say a oh boy a wubba toes something like that.
• 1:03:34
  Shane's pretty close, but certainly not close enough.
• 1:03:37
  Anybody else want to guess, or should I just play Jared's
• 1:03:39
  answer? I mean, if it's Suzie, you could
• 1:03:42
  just spit out some nonsense like, oh it's it's woozy woos
• 1:03:46
  and that would that could be a potential guess.
• 1:03:49
  Well, it's not the woozy woos either.
• 1:03:51
  It was 5th of my toes. 5th of my toes.
• 1:03:56
  I don't know what the hell 1/5 of my toes is.
• 1:04:00
  I'm not starting the 5th of my toes.
• 1:04:01
  Appreciation Society. Curly.
• 1:04:03
  Twirly all the way. Of course, how could we not know
• 1:04:07
  that? I knew that it rhymed with nose
• 1:04:09
  because his nose comes off. See, that's why I was saying you
• 1:04:13
  were close. You had that right.
• 1:04:15
  Next one, I will say there's no introduction in this one, but
• 1:04:19
  this one is from Patrick Cotnor. OK, now this one is my favorite
• 1:04:25
  one. It's from Muppets from Space,
• 1:04:26
  Jeffrey Tambor's character singer.
• 1:04:28
  He says he was made fun of a lot when he was growing up and he
• 1:04:31
  says that people called him three things.
• 1:04:33
  What were those three things, Tony?
• 1:04:42
  Remember Freak Boy being one of them.
• 1:04:45
  Freak boy is one of them. Tony, I will give you a point.
• 1:04:49
  A delusional psychopath? Something like that.
• 1:04:54
  I will give you a point. Anyone remember the the third
• 1:05:01
  which is actually the first Shane?
• 1:05:05
  Big idiot guy. Not big idiot guy Scott, do you
• 1:05:09
  have any guesses? Weirdo.
• 1:05:15
  Close, but no cigar. Here's the answer.
• 1:05:18
  It's wacko freak boy and paranoid delusional psychopath.
• 1:05:24
  Great. All right, next one.
• 1:05:31
  Hi, this is Tori Schmidt. Which specific Pigs in Space
• 1:05:36
  episode was up for a Fred Award? And follow up question Which
• 1:05:41
  Pigs in Space episode did Strange Pork want to be
• 1:05:44
  nominated? So, Shane.
• 1:05:52
  So the one that they're nominated for is Pig Alien.
• 1:05:57
  That is true. And the one that Strange Pork
• 1:06:00
  wishes they were up for is Strange Pork Takes up Disco or
• 1:06:07
  learns Disco. One of those.
• 1:06:08
  The answer is the sketch that was nominated was Pig, Alien and
• 1:06:13
  Strange Pork Wanted. Strange Pork takes Up Disco to
• 1:06:16
  be nominated. There you go.
• 1:06:19
  Nicely done. Shane deserves a Fred Award for
• 1:06:23
  this. That was that was indefatigable.
• 1:06:28
  That was sesquipedalian. Inexplicable.
• 1:06:32
  That's a great article that you guys have now.
• 1:06:35
  The pigs in space Opening adjectives.
• 1:06:38
  That was. That's a Shane special.
• 1:06:40
  Well, I appreciate it, Shane. I I like that Rodger language.
• 1:06:44
  Took it up and kept it going. Yeah, it's kind of.
• 1:06:47
  I always forget that they didn't continue with it on the show
• 1:06:51
  like it's only in certain Is it only in Season 3?
• 1:06:54
  Season 2, I guess by season three they were like, oh,
• 1:06:57
  everyone knows who these guys are now.
• 1:06:58
  We don't have to introduce them every time.
• 1:07:01
  Yeah, but it was funny. OK, next question.
• 1:07:07
  Hello everyone. This is Eli Lee and I am Becca
• 1:07:11
  Petunia's spouse and I don't know what you people do on this
• 1:07:14
  podcast, but she has asked me to contribute a question.
• 1:07:19
  My question for you is what popular breakfast pastry does
• 1:07:24
  Elaine open a store to sell only the tops of in season eight
• 1:07:29
  episode 21 of Seinfeld Lee. Yeah, Lee, I asked you to say a
• 1:07:38
  Muppet trivia question, not a muffin trivia question.
• 1:07:44
  Wait, I thought you people were doing a Seinfeld trivia podcast.
• 1:07:50
  Can you just, can you just ask that bear question like I told
• 1:07:53
  you to? OK, in the Bear in the Big Blue
• 1:07:59
  House episode? We did it our way.
• 1:08:02
  What kind of pie does Bear make for his friend Doc Hogg?
• 1:08:09
  See, Was that that hard? What else have you been keeping
• 1:08:14
  from me? Scott, do you know the answer to
• 1:08:16
  this question? I I don't know the answer, even
• 1:08:19
  though I watched almost every episode with my daughter.
• 1:08:22
  But I'm going to. I'm going to guess blueberry pie
• 1:08:24
  it. Is not blueberry pie.
• 1:08:26
  Good guess, Tony. Wild Berry.
• 1:08:33
  So there is a triple Berry pie in other episodes, but not this
• 1:08:38
  one. They make a big deal about this
• 1:08:41
  one in the We Did It Our Way episode.
• 1:08:44
  Shane, do you have a guess? You're saying it's it's 3A
• 1:08:47
  Triple Berry pie? No, this is not the triple Berry
• 1:08:50
  pie. I'm saying Tony Tony's right
• 1:08:54
  that they made effectively a wild Berry pie, but that's in a
• 1:08:56
  different episode. I'm going to say pecan a pecan
• 1:09:02
  pie. The answer is apple pie with
• 1:09:08
  nutty crumb topping served with a whole mess of whipped cream.
• 1:09:13
  And in my memory, they say that like four or five times in that
• 1:09:17
  episode. All right, That was close in the
• 1:09:22
  sense that you guys remembered it was a pie.
• 1:09:25
  I with the Seinfeld thing I I thought for sure this was going
• 1:09:28
  in the direction of Pete's Luncheonette.
• 1:09:31
  It should have, but it did. Seinfeld babies.
• 1:09:34
  I was going to guess muffin, even though I have not seen that
• 1:09:36
  episode. Muffin was the right answer.
• 1:09:38
  Yes to to to Lee's first question.
• 1:09:42
  Next question, Hi, I'm Danny Horn from Tough Pigs, Muppet
• 1:09:46
  Wiki, Muppet Pictures, and soon the fantastic Miss Piggy
• 1:09:49
  Podcast. My question is, in 2001 at the
• 1:09:53
  Muppet Fest convention, the event ended with a performance
• 1:09:55
  called The Muppet Show Live. During the intermission between
• 1:09:59
  acts, there was a charity auction where they sold Muppet
• 1:10:01
  props. Who was the celebrity who helped
• 1:10:03
  out during the charity auction, and what role did that person
• 1:10:06
  play in a handsome production? Scott.
• 1:10:16
  I can't remember if she did it for both, because I think she
• 1:10:18
  did it at at during the Muppet Fest panel, but it might have
• 1:10:24
  been Claudia Black, who played Aaron's son on Farscape.
• 1:10:28
  The answer is it was Claudia Black helping with the auction.
• 1:10:31
  She played Aaron's son on Farscape.
• 1:10:33
  Look, you got a Farscape question, correct?
• 1:10:36
  Hurray. As I recall she she was a
• 1:10:41
  surprise guest during the Muppet Fest panel and then showed up at
• 1:10:47
  AS as Danny said during the The Muppet Show Live intermission.
• 1:10:51
  Scott, were you there for Muppet for Muppet Fest?
• 1:10:54
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, they I'm still waiting for Muppet.
• 1:10:58
  They they actually, they closed out the Muppet Fest panels
• 1:11:01
  saying see you next year from Muppet Fest 2 and I'm still
• 1:11:05
  waiting. And correct me if I'm wrong, but
• 1:11:08
  didn't you make The Muppet Show live like you're kind of in The
• 1:11:12
  Muppet Show live recording? Embarrassingly so, yes.
• 1:11:17
  So if if that ever. I mean, I know it's it's out on
• 1:11:20
  YouTube now, but if that ever got like a proper release,
• 1:11:23
  they'd either have to cut that out because it's obnoxious or
• 1:11:26
  they'd have to leave it in. And that would be me in an in an
• 1:11:29
  official Muppet production because Beeker mentioned Bunsen,
• 1:11:34
  Bunsen mentioned something about DVD technology, and I was a big
• 1:11:39
  DVD nerd, so I just let out. AI just went and it was so loud
• 1:11:45
  and. It was you.
• 1:11:46
  Through it. That was me throughout the whole
• 1:11:48
  theater that Bunsen had to respond to it.
• 1:11:51
  So that was my little interaction with Bunsen in a in
• 1:11:55
  a Muppet production. You guys need to understand
• 1:11:58
  folks at home, and I know a lot of young people listen to this
• 1:12:00
  show. There was a time when DV DS were
• 1:12:03
  something that you might be excited about, and that time was
• 1:12:08
  2001. It sure was.
• 1:12:15
  All right. Next question, the 21st question
• 1:12:18
  here. Hey all, this is Katie Lynn from
• 1:12:21
  toughpigs.com. And have I got a question for
• 1:12:23
  you. Meaning Master Gardeners who
• 1:12:27
  live in bulging plants, what is the word the Pottlings from The
• 1:12:32
  Dark Crystal used to refer to themselves, Shane?
• 1:12:41
  They call themselves Steve. They don't, Scott.
• 1:12:49
  Tony. I I know we can't ask Katie Lynn
• 1:12:56
  to specify, but is this I wonder if this is this something that
• 1:13:00
  is used in dialogue in the movie or is this something that's used
• 1:13:05
  in the script or the novelization that because I I
• 1:13:08
  can't. Recall, unfortunately, I don't
• 1:13:10
  know. It might be something that the
• 1:13:12
  podlings say in their little Podlig language, but it
• 1:13:16
  certainly is not said by Jen or Kira in the film.
• 1:13:21
  All right, the answer A Papiapoya PD, A PDD, A POB.
• 1:13:28
  Just that simple. It was right on the tip of my
• 1:13:32
  tongue. I want to be clear, that is not
• 1:13:35
  the hardest question that we have tonight.
• 1:13:39
  That was the 2nd hardest question that we have tonight.
• 1:13:43
  Is that wasn't that the dog's name in the tail of the Bunny
• 1:13:46
  picnic? It's.
• 1:13:46
  Kind of similar. I'm not going to lie.
• 1:13:50
  Here's the last question. Oh boy.
• 1:13:55
  Hiya, hiya hiya. This is Tough Pigs writer,
• 1:13:58
  Muppet quotes curator and two time Hubba Wah champion and
• 1:14:01
  Toughest Pig, Matthew Soberman. Here Now, my love of the Disney
• 1:14:06
  Parks has been pretty obvious over the years.
• 1:14:08
  I've written about why they shouldn't close Muppet Vision 3,
• 1:14:12
  DI've reviewed decades old stage shows that are long gone, and
• 1:14:16
  I've compared Epcot's festivals to Elmo Saves Christmas.
• 1:14:20
  And that's exactly why I'm not going to ask a question about
• 1:14:23
  Muppets and Disney Parks. Instead, I'm going to ask a
• 1:14:27
  question about Universal Parks. In Universal Studios Florida,
• 1:14:32
  there's a roller coaster called Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit where
• 1:14:35
  guests can zoom through the park while listening to their choice
• 1:14:38
  of music in one of five different genres.
• 1:14:41
  Now fans in the knowmay already be aware that there's also
• 1:14:44
  secret song options that can be activated if you press and hold
• 1:14:48
  down the Ride logo after the restraints come down and enter a
• 1:14:52
  three digit code. Now you might think I'd ask
• 1:14:56
  which two Muppet songs are on this hidden set list, but for
• 1:14:59
  Scott and Shane, that's way too easy.
• 1:15:02
  It's a rainbow connection and moving right along, in case you
• 1:15:05
  didn't know. Instead, my question is what are
• 1:15:09
  the code numbers for these two songs?
• 1:15:13
  Go ahead, Scott and Shane. So I want to be clear.
• 1:15:17
  I want to be clear. I'm waiting.
• 1:15:24
  Tony, Tony, this was this. Matthew sent this in so long ago
• 1:15:30
  and it's just Scott and Shane because I told him that I was
• 1:15:33
  planning this episode for Muppet Wiki.
• 1:15:36
  People like Scott and Shane. So I do want to apologize that
• 1:15:41
  you're you're not shouted out in that particularly, but you are
• 1:15:46
  allowed to answer even though you are not Scott and Shane.
• 1:15:51
  I'll wait. Scott.
• 1:15:56
  I mean, I I it could literally be anything, right?
• 1:15:59
  I mean, the last time I was at Universal Studios, the Back to
• 1:16:02
  the Future ride was still there. 1985 Well, no, I'm kidding.
• 1:16:07
  He says it's a 3 digit code. Yeah, well, if my math is
• 1:16:11
  correct, that means there are 1000 possible answers.
• 1:16:16
  OK, well. So the odds are in my favor.
• 1:16:20
  Matthew did provide a hint. Stumped.
• 1:16:24
  Since this is the last game for the while, I'll be nice and give
• 1:16:28
  you both a hint. One of them is the area code for
• 1:16:31
  a city mentioned in a recurring sketch on Muppets Tonight.
• 1:16:38
  Shane, go ahead. Well, I didn't buzz in yet so I
• 1:16:41
  can't answer. I think that just made it worse.
• 1:16:49
  Well. I'm trying.
• 1:16:50
  I'm trying to see if I have a phone book in here.
• 1:16:53
  Why would you have a phone book? It's 2024.
• 1:16:57
  What is The Muppets? What is The Muppets Tonight
• 1:16:59
  Clue? So the three digit number is the
• 1:17:02
  area code for a city mentioned in a recurring Muppets Tonight
• 1:17:07
  sketch. All right, here we go with the
• 1:17:10
  answer. Wait, let me just take a guess,
• 1:17:15
  212. It is not 212 because that is
• 1:17:18
  the New York area code. Might as well guess.
• 1:17:21
  Tony Yeah, you want to guess? Listen, listen, you have a one
• 1:17:26
  in 999 chance of getting it right because you know it's not
• 1:17:30
  212. 227. It's not 227.
• 1:17:39
  The correct answers are 9/01 for moving right along and 9:02 for
• 1:17:45
  rainbow connection. Fun fact, 901 is also the area
• 1:17:50
  code for Memphis, TN, which was referenced in great moments in
• 1:17:54
  Elvis history and with that business concluded Becca.
• 1:17:59
  Every time I've been on Hubba Wah has been an absolute blast.
• 1:18:03
  Thank you for creating such a welcoming space and for letting
• 1:18:05
  us Muppet nerds flex our knowledge.
• 1:18:08
  I hope the show doesn't stay away too long, mostly because
• 1:18:11
  I've been dreaming of being on a sports themed episode.
• 1:18:14
  There will be no sports themed episode.
• 1:18:18
  Wow. And after all those nice things
• 1:18:19
  he said about you? I know.
• 1:18:20
  I I refuse. I'm so glad he left my name out.
• 1:18:27
  There's flexing your Muppet knowledge, but man, that was
• 1:18:29
  bending over backwards, that was, That was.
• 1:18:31
  Rough Scott and Shane did not know the answer.
• 1:18:35
  Matthew. Well, but Tony, you did know the
• 1:18:41
  answer, right? That's, that's the whole thing.
• 1:18:42
  He didn't mention you because, Not because when I was planning
• 1:18:47
  this, when I started planning this about three months ago, I
• 1:18:51
  didn't not have specific information.
• 1:18:55
  But no, it was just because he knew you would know.
• 1:18:57
  So we didn't want to make it too easy.
• 1:19:00
  Specific information, like a third contestant.
• 1:19:03
  I didn't know. This is not Matthew's fault.
• 1:19:09
  It's Universal Studios Florida's fault.
• 1:19:12
  Tony, I'm sorry, I didn't know. Like I said, Muppeteer.
• 1:19:19
  I told you you would hate me by the end of this.
• 1:19:23
  Oh, I'm not. I don't hate you.
• 1:19:24
  I am just very disappointed in you.
• 1:19:27
  Well, listen, you made it through 22 grueling questions
• 1:19:34
  from some of the biggest Muppet fans out there, but let's make
• 1:19:37
  it an even 25 by adding on questions from three other
• 1:19:42
  Muppet fans, namely you guys. That's right, we're doing a
• 1:19:47
  special version of our Stump the Host game, the Anything in the
• 1:19:52
  World Prize game. What makes it different this
• 1:19:55
  week is I've asked you all to bring 2 questions before you try
• 1:20:01
  to stump me, I want you to try to stump each other.
• 1:20:07
  So. Let's open up your questions to
• 1:20:13
  the table. So first, Shane, you are going
• 1:20:17
  to ask a question for Tony and Scott and Tony and Scott buzz in
• 1:20:22
  when you know the answer and you will earn 15 points.
• 1:20:29
  So, Shane. Okey Doke, Now all the best
• 1:20:33
  facts are about numbers, correct?
• 1:20:37
  Nine O 1 and nine O 2. Yes.
• 1:20:41
  So in the Ghost of Fafner Hall episode Improvised Music, Farkas
• 1:20:46
  sends Riff and Mimi on a task to measure all the rooms in Fafner
• 1:20:51
  Hall. But how many rooms are there in
• 1:20:55
  Fafner Hall? Because they give a specific
• 1:20:58
  number. Oh, Tony buzzed in.
• 1:21:05
  Oh good, I can let. I can let you host the show,
• 1:21:08
  Tony. I'm gonna guess 78. 78 OK,
• 1:21:15
  Scott, do you have an answer? Oh, look at look at Shane.
• 1:21:18
  You're you're doing such a great job hosting.
• 1:21:21
  I have no idea 99. Well, you guys are off by just a
• 1:21:30
  little bit. There are 1177 rooms in Fafner
• 1:21:37
  Hall. And all of them are memorable
• 1:21:39
  and wonderful, just like the show that goes to Fafner Hall.
• 1:21:45
  OK, so I was off by 1100. Yeah, give or take.
• 1:21:50
  Tony, do you have a question for Scott and Shane?
• 1:21:55
  Well, I didn't know what kind of question to do, but mine's one
• 1:21:58
  of those round Robin questions. Oh, like a.
• 1:22:03
  Beat the time. OK.
• 1:22:09
  So I guess it's going to be you 2 competing against each other.
• 1:22:13
  Yeah. All right, no rules.
• 1:22:17
  Tony, go ahead. OK, over the years Sesame Street
• 1:22:22
  has had numerous references to the story of Snow White and
• 1:22:26
  various versions of it. And one of those, one of the
• 1:22:30
  aspects of that is all the different kind of Muppet
• 1:22:33
  dwarves, so I'm going to see who can name the most.
• 1:22:39
  Dwarves, is there a specific skit that you were referring to?
• 1:22:43
  Or just all of the skits combined?
• 1:22:45
  I've got a list of 28 different dwarves from across Sesame
• 1:22:52
  Street over the years, so I was just trying to.
• 1:22:55
  I'm wanting to see if either of you can list any of them.
• 1:23:01
  I'm not counting the ones from Snow White and the 100 dwarves.
• 1:23:04
  OK. I feel like an idiot.
• 1:23:07
  No, you don't feel like an idiot.
• 1:23:09
  This is a great question, Scott. Do you know any of the dwarfs
• 1:23:13
  names from Sesame Street? I want to say that there was a
• 1:23:17
  sneezy. Nope.
• 1:23:19
  No. OK Shane, you can steal.
• 1:23:22
  You can name 2 dwarfs Pokey. Pokey is 1.
• 1:23:28
  Blakey. Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
• 1:23:30
  Yep. OK, back to Scott.
• 1:23:35
  You'd think I'd know the ones from the older ones, but I'm
• 1:23:37
  thinking of the ones that were in the sketch with Amy Sedaris,
• 1:23:41
  'cause that's the one I probably watched multiple times with my
• 1:23:44
  daughter. I think there was a smelly there
• 1:23:49
  was. Hey, back back to Shane.
• 1:23:52
  Cheerful. Mm hmm.
• 1:23:55
  From the news flash sketch. OK, back to Scott.
• 1:24:01
  Ryan Dillon did one I think in might have been his first
• 1:24:06
  season. What was he called Sensitive
• 1:24:11
  Nose? That's him.
• 1:24:14
  If it helps, I'm going to help you a little bit.
• 1:24:17
  Some of the sketches that involve the dwarves were The Six
• 1:24:20
  Dwarves, which is a Snow White sketch with Frank Oz's Snow
• 1:24:25
  White, The Seven Emotional Dwarves which is a news flash
• 1:24:29
  segment, the Amy Sedaris episode, and just for fun, 8
• 1:24:35
  random ones from other projects. Is it?
• 1:24:40
  It's my turn, right? I have no idea.
• 1:24:44
  So Scott just guessed. Sensitive nose.
• 1:24:47
  Oh, that's right. Yeah.
• 1:24:47
  So I'm going to say proud. I'm proud to have gotten that.
• 1:24:53
  OK, Scott. Has anybody said clumsy yet?
• 1:24:59
  Nope, but he is 1. Is is clumsy 1 or is it?
• 1:25:02
  Yeah. Clumsy's one of the Amy sitters.
• 1:25:05
  Oh, OK. Good.
• 1:25:06
  Shane. There's a lovey.
• 1:25:08
  Right. Hey, back to Scott.
• 1:25:11
  My brain is broken. Crusty.
• 1:25:15
  I don't know. Nope, not one of the dwarfs.
• 1:25:17
  OK, Shane, you can give 2. There's angry, cheerful.
• 1:25:25
  Oop, you already What's the cheerful?
• 1:25:27
  Oh. I have here a list.
• 1:25:31
  OK. A list of the dwarfs.
• 1:25:35
  So I guess I'm going to call it here then, because wait.
• 1:25:40
  Wait, wait a minute. We got like.
• 1:25:41
  Yeah, but we've got two mistakes.
• 1:25:44
  We got two mistakes. So what I'm going to say is
• 1:25:47
  point wise because Shane got more of the dwarfs correct.
• 1:25:51
  I am going to give give Shane the 15 points.
• 1:25:58
  However, Tony, can you list the dwarfs, the other dwarfs you
• 1:26:02
  were looking for? Sure thing from the six dwarves,
• 1:26:05
  they are sparky, snooky, pokey, flaky, drippy and sneaky.
• 1:26:12
  From the Newsflash segment, cheerful, angry, lovey, fearful,
• 1:26:16
  sad, surprised and proud. From the Amy Sedaris episode
• 1:26:21
  Clumsy, Hammy, Smelly, sensitive nose, Gassy, Itchy and Vertigo.
• 1:26:28
  Yeah, I see that. That had to have been a Joey
• 1:26:30
  Mesrino character. 100%. The eight extra are from lesser
• 1:26:36
  known versions from the Abbey's Flying Fairy school segment.
• 1:26:40
  There's one where they consult a fairy tale book and somebody
• 1:26:46
  lists off a few of the dwarves names, the dozy meanie, blushy
• 1:26:51
  and obsequious. That's a Joey Mazzarino joke as
• 1:26:56
  well. And probably most obscures from
• 1:26:59
  the Sesame Street book of fairy tales.
• 1:27:02
  This is a story where the count interrupts big birds readings
• 1:27:07
  and he ends up crashing into the stage they're in.
• 1:27:10
  It's in the treasury as well. And those not repeated because I
• 1:27:15
  think pokey and flakey were a couple of them.
• 1:27:17
  There's also Spunky, Skimpy, Schnibby, and bainstock.
• 1:27:23
  OK. That's not a Joey Mazzarino
• 1:27:25
  joke, all right. And thank you Tony.
• 1:27:30
  That was great, Scott. So this is for Shane and Tony
• 1:27:33
  all. Right.
• 1:27:38
  So for Shane and Tony, although she starred in the 1993
• 1:27:42
  illustrated book I Want to Be President, Betty Lou had a
• 1:27:44
  different goal in the 1982 View Master set.
• 1:27:47
  People in Your neighborhood. What was it I see, Tony?
• 1:27:56
  Think she wanted to be an architect?
• 1:27:59
  That is incorrect, Shane. I'm going to say she wanted to
• 1:28:03
  be a Carpenter. That is also incorrect, she So
• 1:28:12
  the the people in your neighborhood view master set,
• 1:28:15
  they would show the Muppet character with something that
• 1:28:18
  they did playing as a child and then they would show like a
• 1:28:20
  fantasy version of what that aspiration was and the two that
• 1:28:24
  depicted Betty Lou's showed that she wanted to be a car mechanic.
• 1:28:30
  I thought that was Prairie Dawn. Wait, Are you sure that isn't
• 1:28:33
  Prairie Dawn in the book? I think you might be scrambling
• 1:28:36
  the people in your neighborhood ones the different Prairie Dawn
• 1:28:41
  is absolutely the car mechanic on that on that that view
• 1:28:46
  master. I just made the most basic bro
• 1:28:50
  mistake, muppet fan mistake you could possibly make the thing
• 1:28:54
  that I berate others for. Well, here's what's funny.
• 1:28:58
  Prairie Dawn is the mechanic in that.
• 1:28:59
  However, our pal Betty Lou, your friend and mine, but mostly
• 1:29:05
  mine, is of course an architect, meaning that I will give Tony, I
• 1:29:15
  will give Tony those points. That that was that was
• 1:29:18
  incredibly embarrassing. But I'm, I'm, I'm glad to take
• 1:29:21
  that hit because Tony absolutely called me on that.
• 1:29:24
  So very, very well done. It's funny because I I have the,
• 1:29:28
  I mean again, I have the picture of Prairie Dawn as a mechanic
• 1:29:32
  saved on my phone. So I was like, wait a minute,
• 1:29:35
  Betty. Like, again, because I I, I care
• 1:29:38
  too much about the distinction because I'm fascinated by it.
• 1:29:42
  Talk about this the other day on the Discord.
• 1:29:44
  Yeah, well, because again at Prairie Dawn in the Sesame
• 1:29:47
  Street dictionary has a garage, the Dawn to Dusk garage, which
• 1:29:53
  is also in a a color form set that Tony was showing us.
• 1:29:58
  So good stuff on the tough pigs Discord, hey, that's a plug for
• 1:30:01
  that. But Scott, unfortunately.
• 1:30:07
  I should lose points for for mixing up.
• 1:30:09
  No, I'll be nice. I'll be nice and not do that,
• 1:30:13
  but we will move on to. We're not mad, we're just
• 1:30:16
  disappointed. We will move on to the question,
• 1:30:19
  the questions you have to stump me.
• 1:30:21
  So Scott, why don't you go first with a question to stump me?
• 1:30:26
  All right, question for Becca. In an attempt to stump including
• 1:30:31
  his recurring stuffed monster named Hercules, Muppet Wiki has
• 1:30:36
  documented at least 20 different dolls owned by Hairy Monster
• 1:30:40
  over the years. Most of them were fairly generic
• 1:30:43
  and unnamed, but at one point he receives A raggedy and doll.
• 1:30:47
  To whom did that doll originally belong?
• 1:30:51
  So it's hilarious because I actually read this article last
• 1:30:53
  week because I think Tony actually posted it in the
• 1:30:57
  discord. Is it David?
• 1:31:01
  It is not. Scott Who was it?
• 1:31:05
  So it's a bit of a trick question because it's unclear it
• 1:31:09
  the raggedy and all is found in a box that Mister Hooper and his
• 1:31:13
  brother Arnold are going through and they they argue over who who
• 1:31:20
  it belonged to. So it was one of the Hooper
• 1:31:21
  brothers, and they decide to gift it to Harry after Harry
• 1:31:25
  becomes so enamoured with it. Well, that was very kind of
• 1:31:28
  them. I like the the Hooper brothers
• 1:31:33
  is it sounds very good. All right, well, you are going
• 1:31:36
  to get 15 points either way and now we will move to Shane.
• 1:31:42
  Shane, do you have a question to stump me?
• 1:31:44
  I do have a question. So in the Pigs in Space episode
• 1:31:50
  or Skid from the Cloris Leachman episode, the swine trek is
• 1:31:54
  invaded by chopped liver and this piggy calls him hideous and
• 1:32:00
  he replies hideous for X amount of money per pound you expect
• 1:32:05
  beautiful. So, Becca, how much is chopped
• 1:32:10
  liver per pound? Shane Shane loves his numbers.
• 1:32:13
  Numbers make the best facts. Is it?
• 1:32:16
  Well then listen, my question for you guys involves numbers,
• 1:32:19
  so it's fine, but I'm going to guess $0.85.
• 1:32:25
  Wow, Becca, you're so close. No, it's $1.69.
• 1:32:30
  Oh, nice. Yeah, but what's that inflation?
• 1:32:33
  And I did look that up and I forgot to write it down, to
• 1:32:36
  remember it because I know that, like, Ryan and Anthony love
• 1:32:40
  their inflation calculator. I think it was like $8 or
• 1:32:43
  something. Yeah, it's it's big.
• 1:32:46
  It's big. That is, that's a lot.
• 1:32:48
  It better be beautiful than $8. The economy is in shambles.
• 1:32:54
  Tony, do you have a question for me?
• 1:32:57
  Well, I got a question with a two-part answer.
• 1:33:00
  Either one's. Either one's OK.
• 1:33:03
  This question is about the Furry Arms Hotel and you can answer
• 1:33:07
  either one of these What was the original name of the hotel
• 1:33:12
  according to the creators of the show and what is the in What was
• 1:33:18
  the original name of the hotel within the Muppet universe?
• 1:33:21
  I'm. A fake Furry Arms fan.
• 1:33:24
  Because I don't remember this. I'm a I'm a fake Furry Arms fan.
• 1:33:29
  I could tell you about how Humphrey and Ingrid met at the
• 1:33:33
  Furry Arms. I could tell you about Cherie
• 1:33:37
  Netherland and Benny Rabbit, and I could tell you about when
• 1:33:42
  Frazzle was staying there, but he was weirdly not Frazzle and
• 1:33:47
  all of these different things. But like, I can't tell you this,
• 1:33:50
  Tony, so I'm going to give you 15 points as well, Shane.
• 1:33:54
  It seems like you know though. I do know the answer.
• 1:33:59
  So the original name out universe by the Riders was the
• 1:34:03
  right Arms Hotel. That's.
• 1:34:05
  Right. Oh, that's funny in.
• 1:34:08
  Reference to the right-handed performers.
• 1:34:10
  And then in universe, they mentioned this on the Phil
• 1:34:14
  Donahue Show. And I remember I saved that in
• 1:34:18
  my brain because I thought it was a really funny joke when I
• 1:34:20
  first heard it. They wanted to call it the big
• 1:34:22
  building with free soap. But it was taken.
• 1:34:28
  It's it was already taken. God, I mean 90s Sesame Street is
• 1:34:33
  weird, but when it was funny, it was very funny.
• 1:34:39
  Becca, off the record, I was going to ask you about Betty
• 1:34:42
  Lou's favorite doll, but after going through the Donahue
• 1:34:47
  episode, I realized it was it was another doll, so I couldn't
• 1:34:51
  ask. It.
• 1:34:52
  I would have loved it, but I actually you would have been
• 1:34:54
  fine stumping me with the name of the doll because I don't know
• 1:34:56
  the name of the specific doll. I, I, I, I need to rewatch the
• 1:35:01
  like only eight episodes that she is in because this so-called
• 1:35:08
  in the 90s we need to do more with Betty Lou really did not
• 1:35:12
  amount to much. Getting a migraine.
• 1:35:16
  Our final game is, of course, say the word.
• 1:35:20
  As you surely know, in this round you can wager any amount
• 1:35:23
  of points. The winner gets those points and
• 1:35:27
  the loser loses them. You will get to hear the
• 1:35:29
  question before you answered, and here is a question from me.
• 1:35:35
  All right, so one of the most impressive things you guys have
• 1:35:39
  accomplished over at Muppet Wiki is that Sesame Street episode
• 1:35:43
  guide we were talking about. As we said earlier in the
• 1:35:46
  episode, there's now a full episode guide for every single
• 1:35:50
  episode of Sesame Street. 54 years of Sesame Street at our
• 1:35:55
  fingertips, it's really something special. 55 It's 2024,
• 1:36:00
  although I guess the show premiered in November, so it's
• 1:36:04
  54 years. This also means that now we can
• 1:36:08
  say with some degree of certainty how many episodes of
• 1:36:12
  Sesame Street each character appeared in.
• 1:36:16
  Now, Muppet Wiki has, on certain characters pages, the number of
• 1:36:23
  episodes with street scenes featuring certain characters.
• 1:36:29
  We're talking about St. scenes here, right?
• 1:36:32
  In other words, the new footage recorded for each episode as
• 1:36:35
  opposed to recurring sketches and segments.
• 1:36:39
  Muppet Wiki on those individual lists has things broken down in
• 1:36:43
  terms of five year periods, but that wasn't specific enough for
• 1:36:49
  me. So I spent this morning counting
• 1:36:54
  episodes even more specifically, and now I'm going to make that
• 1:37:00
  your problem as I ask you about my signature favorite characters
• 1:37:07
  episodes. Before we get to that question
• 1:37:10
  though, let me review the rules here.
• 1:37:13
  Scott, you currently have 85 points.
• 1:37:19
  Shane, you have 110 points and Tony you have 150 points.
• 1:37:29
  I mean. As I was saying, those are the
• 1:37:32
  point totals. So now you know how many points
• 1:37:35
  you have to wager. And here is your question.
• 1:37:43
  Thanks to Muppet Wiki, we know that my girl Prairie Dawn wasn't
• 1:37:49
  in as many St. scenes as we all thought she was.
• 1:37:53
  The various recurring segments really skewed our memory, I
• 1:37:56
  guess. However, we know that she's
• 1:37:59
  still important to me now. I went through and counted how
• 1:38:04
  many episodes with street scenes featuring Prairie Dawn there
• 1:38:10
  were in each season of Sesame Street.
• 1:38:14
  So I am going to ask you, there are two seasons of Sesame Street
• 1:38:19
  that are tied for having the most episodes with street scenes
• 1:38:25
  featuring Prairie Dawn. Which two seasons are those?
• 1:38:33
  And in each of those seasons, how many episodes did she appear
• 1:38:40
  in? Again, And for folks at home who
• 1:38:43
  might not know the terminology, when we say St. scenes, we mean
• 1:38:48
  the new footage of the characters interacting with the
• 1:38:52
  humans and other Muppets on the actual Sesame Street set.
• 1:38:57
  We do not mean any recurring sketches like Monster Piece
• 1:39:00
  Theater or Guy Smiley game shows or animations of the Ladybugs
• 1:39:07
  Picnic or anything like that. We need new footage.
• 1:39:11
  So what I'd like you to do is I want you to send in both the two
• 1:39:16
  seasons that you think featured the most episodes with Prairie
• 1:39:21
  Dawn and in each of those seasons how many episodes she
• 1:39:26
  appeared in. And again, that is the same
• 1:39:28
  number in each of those seasons because they are tied.
• 1:39:32
  Whoever gets more of these correct will get their points
• 1:39:36
  back. So if Scott and Shane both get
• 1:39:40
  zero of them correct, but Tony gets the right number of
• 1:39:43
  episodes but not the right seasons, Tony will be the one
• 1:39:46
  who wins his points back. OK, so everybody has submitted
• 1:39:54
  Shane and Tony. You each guessed the same two
• 1:39:59
  seasons of Sesame Street. Shane and Tony, which two
• 1:40:03
  seasons did you guess? Season 23 and 24.
• 1:40:11
  Tony, you agree, Scott, you guessed two different seasons,
• 1:40:15
  Scott, Which seasons did you guess?
• 1:40:18
  Guess is the operable word here because I guessed 31 and 32.
• 1:40:23
  OK. And Scott, how many episodes did
• 1:40:26
  you say she appeared in in each of those seasons?
• 1:40:30
  Again with the guests 15 each. All right, Shane, how many
• 1:40:35
  episodes did you say she appeared in in each of those
• 1:40:37
  seasons? I said 9.
• 1:40:40
  OK. And Tony.
• 1:40:43
  I said 22 because I figured there's a lot of stuff with her
• 1:40:46
  and Monty. So seasons 23 and 24 are the
• 1:40:54
  correct answer. Those seasons are tied for the
• 1:40:58
  most appearances of Prairie Dawn.
• 1:41:04
  However, in each of those seasons she only appeared in 12
• 1:41:11
  episodes St. scenes. So I do also want to add real
• 1:41:18
  quick. Season 23 is the one that
• 1:41:21
  premiered 2 months after I was born.
• 1:41:24
  So is it a coincidence? Probably.
• 1:41:27
  But maybe. I mean, it honestly isn't
• 1:41:30
  because it means that those episodes were in circulation
• 1:41:33
  when I was a child. But the point still stands that
• 1:41:38
  Tony and Shane both got the seasons correct.
• 1:41:43
  Shane, you are much closer than Tony in terms of the amount of
• 1:41:49
  episodes that she appeared in in each of those seasons.
• 1:41:54
  So I am going to give you your bet back.
• 1:41:57
  Your bet was three points, which puts your score at 113 points.
• 1:42:07
  I didn't want to risk it. Now here's why none of what I
• 1:42:11
  just said actually matters, because the pony is going to
• 1:42:15
  lose 35 points, bringing his score to 115 points.
• 1:42:22
  Wait a minute. Wait a minute, I thought.
• 1:42:26
  I I bet 20. Oh, you bet 20.
• 1:42:30
  I mean, it doesn't matter either way.
• 1:42:31
  You have more points, Tony. That's what I'm trying to say.
• 1:42:35
  God, when did I lose control of the plot here?
• 1:42:38
  But either way, Tony has more points.
• 1:42:40
  Tony bet 20, bringing him to 130 and Scott bet zero, bringing him
• 1:42:45
  to 85 points. So no matter how we slice it,
• 1:42:50
  whether I give Tony points or not or whether I take away 35
• 1:42:56
  points from Tony or not, Tony is still today's winner and today's
• 1:43:01
  toughest pig. Bravo.
• 1:43:06
  So I do want to say, though, Tony, congratulations.
• 1:43:12
  But I did promise you all that you were all going to be winners
• 1:43:15
  tonight. So here's what I'm going to say.
• 1:43:18
  Each of you can request any Muppet and I will make you some
• 1:43:23
  art of that Muppet. Tony, because you won, you can
• 1:43:27
  name two Muppets. I don't think we we don't have
• 1:43:30
  to come up with them right now, do we?
• 1:43:33
  Think about it while I'm doing my outro and and tell me at the
• 1:43:37
  end that'll be good audio. That brings us to the end of
• 1:43:40
  another one. So get guests.
• 1:43:43

• 1:47:16
  some of the stuff we've got planned for 2024 and what
• 1:47:20
  Muppets am I drawing? I would like a dog lion please.
• 1:47:23
  OK, Shane requests dog lion. In keeping in theme with the
• 1:47:26
  episode, I I'll have to go with 1880s robot.
• 1:47:29
  OK. And Tony, you get to tell me
• 1:47:32
  too. I was going to go obscure, but
• 1:47:36
  in honor of Hubba Wah, I'm going to go with Prairie Dawn and
• 1:47:41
  Betty Lou. All right, don't get them mixed
• 1:47:44
  up. That would be a real a real
• 1:47:48
  rookie mistake. She really could just draw the
• 1:47:52
  same thing twice and most people wouldn't know.
• 1:47:54
  What I'm just going to have to do is just draw them from the
• 1:47:56
  foreheads down and no one will know.
• 1:48:00
  Sesame Street merchandise gets them confused.
• 1:48:03
  Including the people in your neighborhood poster set, which
• 1:48:06
  does label Betty Lou as period on.
• 1:48:10
  But thank you all so much. It really was a pleasure.
• 1:48:14
  I'm so glad you could all be with me on this wild episode.
• 1:48:18
  Goodnight everyone.
