Welcome to Beach to Sandy, Water to Wet, a podcast featuring real reviews written by people who just need the world to know what they think.
Between you and me, I wanted to like this podcast, but I'd give it zero stars if I could.
Alright, we're rolling.
Oh, I thought you were going to go, eek!
I thought you were going to do that. Oh, I was if you weren't, but then you didn't,
so then I commented on you not. I caught you by surprise. I saw you glisten in your eye once again, and I thought you were going to do that. Oh, I was if you weren't, but then you didn't. So then I commented on you not.
I caught you by surprise.
I saw you glisten in your eye once again and I thought.
I saw it in your eye.
Eek!
Okay, there it is.
Out of the way.
We're not doing that ever again this episode, right?
I figured like we'd cover it so many times.
I didn't want to, you know, start off too strong.
We know now they can understand what what they're getting into i'm very
excited mary suggested this on patreon and it's eek themed items it won pretty pretty handily
pretty handily and just in time for halloween season um and by eek themed items or or eek
you know what this is our eek episode you know because i went all over the place i did not just
find items because it was kind of hard.
It wasn't that hard.
It was just, there were a lot of them.
Yeah.
And there's so many that like, for example, on Etsy, where people haven't left specifically
reviews for the eek items.
Etsy is honestly such a tease because there are so many great products and stuff.
But yeah, you can't sort by reviews of just that product.
You have to, you know, it's more like, oh, more like oh reviews of this shop yeah oh it's such a teaser so many times
where i'm like i just want to know what you think of this eek mug and for those who have no idea
what's going on uh is uh somewhat of an inside joke i suppose to this show sorry you had to be there you had to be there um if you listen to
our cruise episode um i don't even know where it started actually three but okay i only say that
because i feel like it's been tweeted enough times where my brain has sort of like memorized it but
it could very well be used to look it up so it might not be 73 and i'm gonna be really stupid basically she went on the cruise
critics forum and they have a an emoticon uh that appears if you type in eek but it doesn't show up
right it's just colon eek colon uh and and traditionally meant to be an emoticon but
really just says eek so she kept yelling eek at me and like pulls up barstool, things like that. It really bothered
me. And I think because I had such a negative reaction, a lot of listeners took that as a
reason to drive this eek thing into the ground. And here we are resurrecting it just in time for
Halloween. The undead eek. The undead eek. So I do love the suggestion because we're getting it out of the way.
I'm just kidding.
It was fun.
I had a weird amount of fun looking up Eek-related things.
I feel like it required a little more creativity than usual.
Yes.
You know what I mean?
Which isn't either of our strong suits.
Certainly not.
But we did our best.
So what do you have for us?
Okay.
Well, I want to add, add to that i've been traveling uh
all week and i was very sick and by the way this episode we're recording this as the crow flies i
don't think that's how you use that saying 7 38 p.m on tuesday evening and the episode comes out
midnight so people will be listening to this less than five hours after we record that's bizarre
uh but so we've i've been
pushing it off i've been sick i've been traveling um and then today blaze got sick it's just a
disaster and i did these notes in the middle of the night last night and screenshotted them on my
phone so you know i'm usually one to put them traditionally in pages as you so lovingly critiqued me for.
And then in Google Docs.
It's embarrassing.
So anyway, these are all now in screenshots on my phone.
And so please be patient with me as I figure out what's going on.
I'm also still feeling a little bit woozy.
Do you need me to go first?
I'm ready.
Yeah, you go first. I'm sorry.
That was just a weirdly long
like complaint from me i don't know why i did that that was your first one don't worry i'm also
like having a glass of wine and i'm like yeah i'm a little woozy i'm sick i don't feel well i don't
know why i'm doing i've got my boxed wine i'm so sorry um my first review is of eek a noisy journey
from a to z which is a picture book it's not really halloweeny but
um it sounds like it it looks cute it's it's it's a mouse but not our the classic
sorry is that your catheter what is that
oh it's a box of wine i forgot sorry go ahead uh e uh this is by julie uh pashkis sure oh sorry julie
larios is the author and julie pashkis is the illustrator um yeah so it's a mouse thing what
do you mean yeah you said it's a mouse but not that mouse what mouse are we talking i don't know
you know owen the mouse and like that whole mouse series it's not that author what about you give a mouse a cookie it is not i don't know certainly not you know
this julie larios is isn't it is a mouse expert but the two julies the julies are mouse experts
let's just leave it at that um it looks very cute but here's a one-star review from Amazon Customer 2020 titled, I is for Ick.
Ick is for the picture of dog poop left behind by a gleeful dog for a disgusted mouse and
for the author and illustrator who choose to put it in an ABC book for small children.
Too bad.
Such delightful artwork and a fun concept.
End of review.
What?
They're pissed because there's dog poop in the book?
Yeah.
I like that they're like such delightful artwork of a steaming turd, but unfortunately, it's
a dog poop.
And the poop, conceptually, was fun.
Conceptually speaking.
It was so fun.
On an intellectual level, we all loved the poop, including my toddler.
However. Why is that i get when people get i don't really get it but when people complain about like oh
demon you know yeah oh this stuff is of satan or whatever certain language sometimes yeah or
language the word hate right understandable in a way but like strongly negative thing anyone who
has a pet that's just gonna be be part of... I don't know.
It's just... Hey, listen.
I have something to say and I know it's controversial.
She's grabbing the mic so you know it's...
No. She's moving it around.
Don't worry. You can probably hear it though.
Everybody poops.
I don't need two Julies to tell me that.
You don't. Yeah, true. Because I know it
for a fact. Come on, Julies. Get out of the poop game. Julies to tell me that. You don't. Yeah, true. Because I know it for a fact.
Come on, Julies.
Get out of the poop game.
I got Julies.
That's already been covered.
It's been done. It's been done.
This is weird.
A weird callback that I'm about to...
Not a callback to our episode.
Just a weird reference to something I watched when I was a child.
It was an episode of Judge Judy, I think.
Or it was one of those shows.
It was in the Judge Judy extended universe.
Genre.
Yeah.
At least.
Where there was a mom who was, I don't even know why there was a court.
Maybe I'm not even remembering that right.
But I remember her talking about how she only taught her child like fake words for human anatomy.
So, for example, I think boobs were sorry, breasts or whatever.
Judge Judy said were weed whackers.
There were so many things.
There were just these weird things.
Is that the actual example?
Yes.
And she was being criticized by whoever was in the show.
I don't know.
Who was suing her?
For like her not teaching her child the actual words for certain parts of the anatomy.
So in my mind, that mom wrote this review.
And was like, we don't talk about things like this.
The quote unquote gross things of life like weed whackers.
Or mud pies from a dog's brown hole or something.
Ew.
Maybe that's worse.
That's so much worse.
Maybe that's worse.
Also, side note, it's actually incredibly important to teach your children the actual anatomical terms.
Yes.
No, I'm not criticizing that part. I'm just saying, I know people are going to be like, hey, don't call them weed workers.
And I'm here to say, I don't.
Well, you're worried that they thought that you were going to do that.
That I was the woman at Judge Judy in court.
Yeah.
No, it's very important.
You know, teach your kids the real words.
Yep. very important you know teach your kids the real words um because sometimes not to go into this
topic but sometimes predators will use sneaky words uh to try and you know okay let's change
the subject here's the first review i have okay i'm sorry i'm like not well and i i'm drinking
wine anyway i don't know why okay this uxner my first one is also of
a book oh this one is called eek i'm afraid of ants i didn't see that i just can't that's funny
i can't get over it because it's um it's called eek i'm afraid of ants but then the title when it comes up on like any sort of list
um so the actual title says i'm afraid of ants in word and i don't know if that meant like
microsoft word like it just got copied over because i mean as adorable as this book is it's
not really like a hot seller you know what i mean i'll send you the photo it's called eek i'm afraid
of ants and it shows four children play on the cover shows
four children playing in a sandbox it's by dr frazier vasilakos and uh i it's hard cover for
ages 0 to 12 years old published november of 2021 so quite recent and i just realized this was meant
to be my last review wow we're off to a great start get it all out before
our live show this weekend please she's mad at her going up on stage starting something like
oh i was saving this for last you go i get up on stage and i'm like goodbye that's my last review
wait that line is for the end i don don't have anything left. I only wrote my goodbye statement.
I said goodbye to the bean and to all of you.
Bye-bye, bean town.
Goodbye, bean town.
Remember when we got, like,
criticism for saying that Chicago was bean town and I couldn't help, I had to respond.
You had to respond.
Because I was like, I know that.
You've lived in Boston.
You know that Boston's bean town.
We know.
I promise.
As if I don't know my beans.
That's my favorite
food of all of all beans okay uh this is the basically it's because i don't have a review
of this book because they're that was it no no i have the product description oh good that's
important but i just felt like it needed to be shared even though i looked everywhere for a
review it had a one five star rating on amazon Amazon. Okay. But here's the description.
Please.
Eek!
I am afraid of ants.
Developed directly from interactions with my own grandchildren playing outside.
And the 3,000 ants I purchased online.
I love that they're in the sandbox, too.
It's like, that's not what that's for typically.
Using humor, this book guides a child through the early stages of interactive,
logical exploration of a common childhood fear of hands.
They're creepy.
They are creepy looking.
They do have those creepy little eyes.
A fear that could limit a child's sense of adventure
and confidence in exploring new opportunities a fear that may grow into a phobia and mistreatment
of many other insects and creatures that we share on this earth while nana makes absurd statements
the children reply with laughter and logic building cognitive reasoning skills the process
culminates in the children mastering their fear through logical reasoning and embracing
the idea of protecting the ants and not harming them or being afraid of them.
I know this process works because it was tested over many years with the children I love the
most.
I love that.
That's adorable.
That is so cute.
I know.
I was like, wow, that's such a noble pursuit.
Yeah.
It's something that many people, myself included, don't really think about or consider.
Yeah, don't be afraid of bugs.
I love that.
Unless they're, you know, poisonous.
You can be afraid of bugs.
A healthy fear is okay.
I think that's fine.
I just started playing, Dee, Stephen and I were playing a game called Grounded, which just came out of Early Access.
and i were playing a game called grounded um which just came out of early access it's like a honey i shrunk the kids type thing and you're teens in the backyard the bugs are giant and so basically
you're trying to survive while they're insects and remember that it's intense remember that
it reminds me it's almost the same as the hot wheel cd wrong where you play that track in the
backyard and there's that's a good one.
And there's a big ant walking past.
Was there an ant?
I thought so.
You might be right.
Anyway, that's my not review.
Go ahead.
I have one of something that actually I saw that Mary mentioned in a comment on Patreon.
It's a t-shirt of Eek the Cat.
Ooh. Patreon. It's a t-shirt of Eek the Cat. And it's
presumed to be Eek the Cat
with Eek behind
like on the shirt.
Adorable. And apparently
it's an animated series. I don't remember.
I've never seen it. So
this review is somewhat relevant to
us and I thought it was kind of cute.
Five stars.
So happy I found this store store eek has been a running
gag with me and one of my sisters for years we're all grown now this is going to be a cool present
for her wait how cute it's been a running gag ever since this dumb podcast we listened to
wouldn't stop saying it yeah that's so cute i actually i i kind of love the like cheesy eek
stuff i don't own any that's surprising hint hint well that's not cheesy eek stuff this is eek the
cat no that well that one's certainly not cheesy i have a review of uh eek the cat i'm sorry let
me say that again cinemates eek the animated halloween cat this is of course from the home shopping network oh
and so is this eek the cat or not i'm confused this is eek the animated halloween cat i don't
i don't have any idea what i see a picture yeah i don't know who the hell that is that's that's not
that's not the eek i know i've come to know and love in the last five minutes well that's probably
for the best because it is sold out.
Oh, darn.
Yeah, I checked QVC for Eek items.
There was only one pillow and zero reviews.
Very disappointing.
That's a good idea, though.
Yeah, thank you so much.
So, of course, I immediately checked the Home Shopping Network, and they did not let me down.
This is Eek, the animated Halloween cat.
Oh, as our little Eek, the Halloweeneen cat strolls on in oh okay so i
actually have several reviews of this but the first one i'm gonna read is a negative one this
is two stars by alice m8 in florida title is voice is weird i return this after receiving it
the images are nice but the voice is strange, like from another country.
Transylvania.
Literally.
You're not wrong.
I should have guessed it since they never let you hear it while presenting it on air.
Eek the cat and the pumpkin were both returned.
End of review. That's kind of funny, though, that they don't play it on air. Eek the cat and the pumpkin were both returned. End of review.
That's kind of funny, though, that they don't play it for you.
Okay, but then I watched a clip, which I'll tell you about at the end of this little segment,
and they did play it.
Oh.
So I got a little intel.
Never mind, because I was thinking that's pretty shitty if they don't show you what
it sounds like.
And they say, oh, you have to hear it.
It's so cute.
Yeah.
Anyway, with three payments.
We're just out of batteries at the studio.
Supply chain issues.
You understand.
Yeah.
My next thing is a review of Eek at the Greek.
Oh.
Based on the reviews, it seemed as if it was a Yelp elite,
at least, or Yelp sponsored event at the Greek Theater in LA.
And it was a Halloween, a family Halloween event with an orchestra, with Halloween treats, a bunch of stuff for kids and families.
So it seemed cute.
This is a five-star review by a Yelpa leader named Sandy.
Oh, that's our show.
Beach to Sandy.
Five stars.
Oh, you're about to find out, but there's a costume contest as well.
Spoilers.
Just in case you didn't understand this first sentence I'm about to read.
I wanted the Godzilla kid to plow down all the
other kids on stage yelling, Gojira! Roar! He would have totally won the contest. And what's
up with the announcer guy who called him a T-Rex? Like, seriously? T-Rex has much shorter arms and
looks completely different. Oh, speaking of that guy, asking if Marie Antoinette
was a character from Frozen? OMG, you've got to be kidding me. I hope everyone he knows gave him a
hard time about that afterwards. The other highlight of the evening was when the conductor
was trying to get his five child volunteers on stage, and he ended up inviting every kid in a
five mile radius to climb up there and crowd the musicians. LMAO. Turn off the mic, please.
Turn it off.
I brought a fellow flutist from my high school days that I haven't seen in a cool three years
and two people who have never experienced a symphony live.
We all had a great time.
The music was wonderful and the entire performance was entertaining.
Even the narration of the telltale heart.
There was a lot of getting up and walking around by parents and kids,
but I knew that was going to happen beforehand.
And since they're being
exposed to culture,
some for the first time,
it's all pardonable.
End of review.
Culture like T-Rex and Elsa.
You know, Godzilla, Frozen.
Sorry, Marie Antoinette.
I am just so sad
for that parent
who spent like hours
on that Marie Antoinette costume
and like sewed in everything. And they're like, oh, is that a Frozen character like hours on that marie antoinette costume and like sewed in
everything they're like oh is that a frozen character oh that must sting although there
were some review or at least one review where someone commented on how so many of the costumes
were store-bought and how that was such a shame get out of here but do you think they sell store-bought marie antoinette kids
costumes it seems very specific only in la probably true yeah if you're gonna find it
probably somewhere in la um that i i was taken aback by the symphony i was like you're like oh
it's a you know thing for kids and candy and costume contests and then you're like anyway the symphony was
lovely there was an orchestra like playing um it was at the greek at theater so there was
you know there was i think that was kind of the point mainly but most of the other reviews i read
like there's no description of it i just learned from the reviews but most of the reviews talked
about kids and right how much fun their kids had and the treats and the snacks and stuff.
There's a children's choir, too, right here.
An overwhelming children's choir.
That just shrieked the whole time, probably.
Okay, so I have another review of Eek! The Animated Halloween Cat.
This is three stars by Peggy in Pennsylvania.
While the animation is technically very savvy,
the facial expressions and seductive voice
are not suitable for giving this item to children.
Send one my way then, I guess.
I just also love...
That's so weird.
It's so weird.
Also, a couple people commented on how technologically savvy you.
What does that mean?
I assume that line was used in the episode.
Oh, maybe it was.
I only watched like a clip that was, it was like almost a commercial.
Like there weren't people in it.
They were just like playing the different.
I don't even know how to describe this.
I feel like I'm in a fever dream.
I might be actually.
The more I think about it.
What's so special about it no offense they have these big eyes and they like change expression oh weird you know what i mean like it's almost like a graphic like they have um like the the cat has
these big eyes and then like the light changes i don't know the screen changes sort of and so like
sometimes it'll be mad sometimes it'll be surprised like a tamagotchi
or closed like the most technologically advanced exactly exactly you get it yeah i get it um except
very seductive and sexual why it's okay the the sexualization of weird shit by review it just
gets me because i just don't understand it yeah it feels a little
bit like um projection and uh i guess this is a better time a good time as any to tell you about
uh the clip i watched because i watched this clip of eek the animated halloween cat from home
shopping network and um it showed the pumpkin talking it showed i forget the skeleton
or whatever the other one is a pumpkin sexy too pumpkin um it depends on who you ask me
oh yeah big time um but so this uh this cat it starts the only clip they showed of this cat
talking was it's singing and it was indeed
singing in this kind of like transylvanian like sultry birthday mr president
said we're up all night to get lucky i don't know why that's the first song okay
i think that's because it played on one of Leona's playlists earlier and I was like, oh, why is this on this playlist?
So I looked up what she was singing, this cat, because I was like, I don't know what this is, but the words are so shockingly odd.
Really?
And it was the St. James Infirmary Blues.
That's what she was singing.
What?
I don't know.
I'm not kidding.
What is that? I literally just started to type in my phone and it said my history, search history says
St. James song.
And I did find it.
St. James.
It's a Louis Armstrong song from 1928.
Okay.
Oh, here we go.
Also by Avenged Sevenfold.
Oh, that's the ultimate version.
I don't know i hear uh willie armstrong's
uh louie sorry what did i just say billy
strong from green day i like combined all these things louie armstrong's uh relatives i heard
once avenge sevenfold covered it they said wow that's the real version now
forget ours uh here at blog's inner i have the uh i'm already disturbed okay i'm gonna do a
special reading for you of this song yeah and i already regret that i'm editing tonight same
oh i you know i apologize i also gave the gave the credit to the wrong person originally because
i guess even louis Louis Armstrong was a cover.
This is a song called St. James
Infirmary by Cab Calloway and his
orchestra. Now that's the real version.
Featuring Avenged Sevenfold.
So here's the lyrics.
Folks, I'm going to... and imagine
this cat singing this to grandma.
Folks, I'm going
down to St. James infirmary.
See my baby there.
She's stretched out on a long white table.
She's so sweet, so cold, so fair.
What?
Okay, yeah.
Now I'm not so sure about this.
Let her go.
Let her go.
God bless her wherever she may be.
She will search this wide world over, but she'll never find another sweet man like me now when i die bury me in my straight leg britches put on a box back coat and
a stetson hat put a 20 gold piece on my watch chain so you can let all the boys know i died
standing pat and give me six crap shooting pallbearers let a chorus girl sing me a song
put a red hot jazz band at the top of my head so we can raise hallelujah as we go along.
Folks, now that you have heard my story, say boy, hand me over another shot of that booze.
If anyone should ask you, tell them I've got those St. James Infirmary blues.
Oh my God.
That's what this cat sings.
Oh my God.
And I guess it's very sexual according to this one reviewer.
It sounds not what this cat should be singing.
It was shocking, because I just heard, like, my baby, her body.
I don't really remember the clip they showed, but I got enough of it to figure out what song it was.
Yikes.
I guess it is a Halloween cat.
And there's so many Halloween songs.
Maybe this one, finally.
It's in the public domain?
Yes, finally in the public domain.
Next year they can use happy birthday, finally, for their pumpkin or whatever.
But yeah, disturbing.
Very.
I hope Cab is okay.
I hope, I mean, 1928, I hope he's buried with that Stetson and his gold watch chain.
Cab Calloway died in 94.
94?
Yep, 1994.
At what age?
Did he write this song when he was three?
At age 86.
Am I wrong?
Maybe it was Louis Armstrong.
I don't know.
Forget it.
I don't know why I'm even trying to figure this out.
No.
Hey, aren't there some cool Spotify podcasts
about music?
Don't you think that somebody
covered this?
It sounds like an ad because I want it to be.
I know there's
Song Exploder, I think.
I don't know if that exists anymore.
There's another one, though.
Dissect is the one that
focuses more on hip-hop. like cap calloway originals frank ocean one yeah um
that's the one i think covered this song i i think that uh the song saint james infirmary blues it
seems to be a folk song that was like passed down and then it's like certain recordings became famous so um oh well
when eek the cat came out exactly like wow this is a smash success exactly sort of like when
stranger things brought um that one song back into the uh running up that hill by kate bush
kate bush song back into the zeitgeist can i be obnoxious for a second oh you loved that song
before yes i but i'm glad i'm glad
it's getting because now i listen on the radio and i'm like oh great it is very weird i was just
talking about this with someone in connecticut that like it is weird to hear it on top 40
and i vaguely knew it before but then when i heard it on the show i was like i never gave that song
like the credit it deserves so i am one of those new adopters who really likes it now
good who it was was uh i saw uh big boy fishes no no big boy uh from uh calloway uh stop it
from outcast oh sure that's what i was gonna to say next So there's a YouTube video
Y'all should look it up if you're interested in this song
Where he talks about
How much he loves Kate Bush
And loves that song specifically
And that it's
I think he says it's his favorite song or something
So look that up I forget who interviewed him about it
But it was pretty interesting
And that's when I learned about that song
And like really got into the song
So I was very late myself.
Don't get me wrong.
But I'm glad that it's getting more, even more stuff going on.
Thank you for listening to this segment of Dissect.
Sponsored by Kate Bush.
Sponsored by Spotify Dissect podcast.
Yep.
That we've never been invited on and won't, it certainly won't be after this.
Definitely not.
My next thing i did was i
went to urban dictionary and typed in oh my god what this is a twist so there's some great
some great info uh so here's one entry for eek it says eek just means eek. Don't ask the definition because there is none. It's just eek, short and simple.
Eek means eek. And the example quote underneath is, my dad just died. Eek, man, I'm sorry.
I like possibly the only example in history that doesn't actually use that word correctly.
There are so many.
Like, I mean, remember we did that one episode, like, more recently, and you said there's an eek for, there really is an eek for everything.
Yes, yes. I feel like this is.
Except for maybe a, there's no sympathy eek.
I don't think in this context.
Not like a genuine sympathy eek.
An oof would be a little.
Oof is a better.
A little bit more appropriate.
Yeah, I would agree with that.
Still not appropriate, but maybe a little more appropriate than eek.
The top definition is fairly boilerplate.
Used when scared, in trouble, impatient, angry, or just generally distressed.
And then it says, eek is supposed to sound like a mouse's cry.
Aww.
Which is why...
Eek the alphabet.
Yeah, I was thinking about why your cat is looking at me
funny every time i say he's gonna bite your face like he's no he's he's staring me down right now
yeah he's like what he scares me well i mean as it should be here are these examples that guy has a
gun and then two are you gonna going to dump her? Eek.
I really don't know yet.
And then three.
You're grounded.
Eek.
Now that one.
That one's a good one.
That one's pretty on the nose.
So here's another example.
Friend, colon.
So I was walking up the street and I swear, this guy looked like a murderer.
OMG. OMG.
You.
Eek!
That's an example.
Wow.
What a thrilling conversation.
Yep.
And then here's a good definition.
A word used mainly by a woman to describe their emotions just prior to a first date with a hot new man they really like.
Here's a nice quote.
Wait, that's a definition? Yes. like. Here's a nice quote. Wait, that's a definition?
Yes.
Wow.
Here's a quote.
Eek!
I'm so excited about meeting Mark.
He's da bomb.
The number of times I've said that.
Look at this cat.
I know.
I feel bad.
He's honestly losing it at the number of times you're saying this word.
Yeah.
So that's all for Urban Dictionary, though, I promise.
That last one was somebody who used it
in that context and their friends were like that's not how you use that word and they were like yes
it is and they just added their own entry to urban dictionary we did that all the time in high school
you did add yeah add shit to urban yeah really yeah oh my god i didn't know that i didn't touch
this these definitions i didn't feel strongly about eek at the time
until now i regret it i could have changed the course of history you could have i can't wait

at michigan.org all right so this is a review of something called eco world eco world yeah like eco no no eco oh it's actually
yeah like because i went on common sense media and i typed in eek and everything that came up
was like week okay like a week to remember no that's not how that movie goes that's a walk to remember what's a
movie with w okay what's the word with what's a chef and uh what what's a movie with weeks in it
uh like 28 weeks later or something isn't that that's 28 days later they the sequel is 28 weeks
later okay i believe i don't know how about about Weekend at Bernie's? There you go.
Things like that. Eight Days a Week by the Beatles.
I don't know.
Things like that came up when I typed in eek.
And then I found this product called Eco World.
E-E-K-O World.
Okay.
Now, Eco World is a fun time.
This seems to be...
This is a product. It's a CDd-rom or like or like an on no
i'm sorry it's like an online game it's like a a website i think basically the way i saw was like
oh if gen z kids this was like an early 2000s mid-2000s game that like kids would play at school
and stuff like how we had oregon trail and shit like that so um i have two reviews and
i'm gonna read the first one uh this is by a kid who is nine years old named platypus cooler
it's five stars and they think it should be for ages four plus this website has quite a lot of
things to offer so i'll slice this review into parts
for your convenience thank you child it's also one giant paragraph so it's not exactly convenient
one location this website is linked to pbskids.org a popular and safe kids website with pbs shows and
games the location is convenient so kids can find it easy two games
there are two games eco creature and eco house they are both very fun and very educational they
sound like a blast do we have any more info about what these games are yeah let me read it to you
i don't know why i didn't uh i'll have to stream this next week. Eco World game. Here we go.
Oh, boy.
I have the fandom.
pbskids.fandom.com.
Nice.
Eco World was a web page on pbskids.org.
On this web page, you could play two main mini games all themed around cleaning up trash
and protecting the environment.
Alongside the learning pages about the environment.
These games were called Eco Creature and Eco House,
and the main character was a monkey-shark-snake-bird hybrid
referred to as Chico.
Why?
Why?
Chico was the...
I'm sorry, I just don't get it.
This is the next segment of the fandom page.
Chico was the monkey...
By the way, C-H-E-E-K-O.
Chico was a monkey-shark-snake-e-e-k-o chico was a monkey shark snake bird character that guided you
through the web page upon clicking a mini game and pressing play he gave you a basic set of
instructions on how to complete the game and facts about the environment during the game
uh okay i mean oh my god i'm sending you a picture i'm so scared what the fuck is that that's what chico looks like
okay again i ask why that seems so unnecessary he looks like a he looks like a spermazoa. Sperma. It's like a sperm.
He looks like... Oh, my God.
I don't understand.
I don't understand.
Wait.
But it looks like a mad scientist created this stuffed awful thing.
It looks like dead parts.
Like one of those horrible taxidermy projects.
Here's like an example of the webpage where you can build your own creature.
Oh, dear.
The name of it is My Creature.
My Creature says, I'm eco-friendly.
I think we should put these on Instagram.
My Creature lives in water.
My Creature eats apples.
Oof.
Terrifying.
My Creature is begging for you for what for for peace of this mortal coil
oh my god he's like who made me
i i think that that creature deserves revenge okay anyway now that we have this important context a little bit about Chico um so I'll
get back to this listicle that we have um by this child so we did one and we did two and then
two is the games now we have 2a eco creature this is a game where you make your own animal using body parts of other animals,
such as snakes, penguins, fish, dinosaurs, etc.
and explore Eco World.
You can click on things and a question will appear.
Like, do you want to litter here?
What happens if you say yes?
Have you seen those creatures?
Oh, God.
They get you.
Nobody's ever lived to tell the tale of what happens if you say yes.
Do you want to litter here?
Or, quote, should these people buy locally grown food?
Question mark.
And you need to choose the best answer.
And then you lose or win points.
Points raise the world health make your eco
creature slightly faster oh no they're getting stronger they're more aerodynamic that creepy
monkey with a snake tail and it's shark body what were the wings what i see wings. I just don't know what they're from.
What is it?
Let me check.
What's Chico?
What's Chico's anatomy again?
Okay, so Chico is a monkey, monkey, shark, snake, bird character.
Oh, just general, generic bird.
It looks to me like a canary.
Except massive.
Except a massive canary on a shark body.
Okay, yeah.
Or a tiny shark. I don't don't know tiny shark with a big
monkey head none of it makes sense no it doesn't points raise the world health make your eco
creature slightly faster unlock more parts and gets your creature closer to the hall of fame
i want to see the hall of fame of these creatures i do not i'm gonna see you're gonna see in your
nightmares tonight.
The gameplay is like a 2D virtual world with no chat and tons of learning.
Just what we all want.
I feel like the many games I played when I was a child would have been far better if I,
if there was no chat.
With no chat.
I absolutely agree.
Let's not say better.
Let's say healthier.
Maybe safer and healthier.
Safer,
healthier, better for me, but less fun, probably.
Definitely less fun.
I was a bit of a menace.
Oh, this is literally the next line.
I think it's fun.
Okay.
2B.
Eco house.
You walk around a virtual house and click on things.
Questions same as eco creature questions.
15 or more points gets you to the leaderboard and unlocks Eco School. 3. videos. Harmless short films explain subjects like air pollution and recycling. Dark red words can be looked up by clicking what's this
on top of the video. Videos end with different ways to recycle. 4. site
summary. It's a good harmless site with educational games and videos
with plenty of information that makes younger users
able to understand big words like pollution and compost.
End of review.
Nice.
Yeah, so.
I missed out on this.
About Eek!
Oh, world.
I'm going to play that on stream if someone saved it somewhere, probably.
I imagine it's somewhere.
Because it seems like it was quite a popular one at the time.
Yeah.
So I don't know.
I've never heard of it, but...
I'm going to ask Francisco.
Oh, I think I may have already found it for you.
Oh, thank goodness.
Access denied.
Okay, that's probably for the best.
I was just playing really highbrow games recently, like Trombone Champ.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know.
I saw.
Let's try something a little more fun and goofy. Maybe'll let you in they didn't let me in because i probably because
i've been on like home shopping network and they're like we don't want that energy and we
don't want that eek eek the cat energy no too sexy the sexy saint james infirmary uh so my last
thing is that i found a place called eek alaska what there's no
exclamation point it's just eek alaska it is uh just you i i have some info on it it's just a town
it is a uh so as of 2020 there were 404 residents the majority of whom being alaska natives and it's
growing and thankfully so here there's just some interesting facts.
I mean, I don't know.
I was just reading the whole Wikipedia page about EEC Alaska.
Because that's what I was reading.
I was thinking, oh, wow, okay.
So, like, 2018, it has 120 students and six teachers
at EEC school.
At EEC school?
Yes, at EEC.
So that's the thing.
There's EEC airport, and their airport code is Eek.
No way.
Yeah.
And there's apparently a very famous collection of photos of Eek and surrounding villages
that these artists and teachers at Eek compiled, and a film titled The Children of Eek and
Their Art.
And then what was interesting to see was that prior
to 2019, the city did not have running water. Water was distributed by truck to households at
a cost of 25 cents per gallon. And then in light of health concerns over the lack of running water,
the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium helped the city by providing a grant for piped running
water, which was completed in 2019. 2019 that's really recent so yeah just
an interesting town small i was reading through reviews and most of the reviews of different
places were in russian which i thought was interesting i don't know um why i mean it
is close closer from their house you can yeah if i if i were to guess yeah good guess thank you but yeah and
oh it's along the eek river oh and eek is derived from an eskimo word meaning two eyes according to
wikipedia wow yeah that's cool i like that put that in urban dictionary do you remember your
password from fifth grade unfortunately Unfortunately, I probably do.
Probably has the word poop in it.
I is for ick.
Dog poop.
But I do have one very, very short review of the Eek Airport.
It's a five-star review.
And just one word.
It says, spooky.
End of review.
You know, I love that, except maybe not at an airport like yeah true any other location i'm like that's cute and fun but the airport is not a place i'd
want to be spooky you know that is fair um but i read about the airport um and the airport had 3,700 passenger boardings in 2007.
That's a very fun fact.
It has one runway that's a gravel surface.
Whoa.
And yeah, that's about it.
Okay, how many Starbucks?
Three.
How many, what are those called?
The news. Yes. Hudson News or whatever. Hudson News. three how many um what are those called damn um the news yes
hudson news or whatever news i'm like hudson news i always check those for my book and they're never
there so rude sad for me um okay i have another five star review of eco world good this is by
peg cat 12 who is also nine years old and rated at ages nine and above five stars.
I loved Eco World.
It was a blast.
It was also eductinal.
Are they trying to say educational?
Yeah.
How do they spell it?
E-D-U-C-T-I-N-A-L.
Oh, no. I just wrote that just it was also a ductum all that's one of my favorite things when you see like old like kids homeworks i learned so the ironic misspellings are
so funny oh boy i learned so much at school and it's like all misspelled today we learned to spell i love spelling s p s p e l i n g or
something i don't know it was a ductinal addictinal oh poor thing that's cute that's
you know what we call ourselves an educational podcast we're more like an
adductible podcast honestly they could we couldpaste that review to our iTunes page.
That's true.
That's very fitting.
That's true.
Also, the one about their voices sound inappropriate or whatever.
True, yeah.
They sound like they're from a different country and inappropriate for children.
Yeah.
Just wait until I sing St. James Infirmary.
Please don't.
I already did.
Is there anything else you have for us?
I've got nothing.
I feel like I have...
This is where I was supposed to read my
Eek I'm Afraid of Ants or whatever.
I love how I just read the
Wikipedia page for Eek and the Eek
Airport and you're like, oh, you must have
more, right?
Clearly that was the end because
that's when I'm scrambling and just reading bullshit
i'm telling you i personally did find it interesting i i do find it fascinating i'm
telling you i'm just like uh in a haze this editing is gonna be rough um okay uh the last
thing i have for you then is uh this four-star review of the uh of eek the animated halloween cat
by aunt big in texas title is oh my goodness space comma space
oh my goodness space comma space my five years old grandmother loves it. End of review. Okay. We need a family tree here.
I was clearly like, like a slap happy last night reading these.
So funny.
And then this is, sorry, I do have one more here.
Love, love, love by Carolyn234 in Colorado.
Five stars.
I have both the kitty and the pumpkin.
These are awesome.
Just like the ones i see at
those amusement parks oh that's cute i thought i'd let leave off on that and ask anyone if they
know what the hell is going on and also like i want to go to that amusement park it always seems
that our listeners do know what's going on so much more than we do wildly more than we do and
they get mad some of them when we don't know something i mean at least we're honest about it yeah we don't take
ourselves seriously so why are you taking us seriously please stop taking me seriously it's
not fun for anyone sorry i don't want to i don't want to cut the ad here so i'm gonna
oh say something really aggressive right before we have an ad break.
Hi, buy this cool podcast called Dissect.
Didn't we do a great promo for it earlier?
Okay.
We like our listeners a lot.
Why not kick back with a cold, smooth bush.
Smooth taste. Great value. Bush Lager.
Enjoy responsibly.

Uh, my challenge time.
It was Sky's suggestion to find a challenge where the reviewer was embarrassed by the thing they're reviewing bonus points for positive reviews okay so my first one
is of the book becoming supernatural how common people are doing the uncommon The Uncommon. Ooh. I would like to read that book.
Okay.
Well, here's a review.
One star.
I'm embarrassed that I bought this book.
I'd be more embarrassed if I'd written it.
The science used to back up the author's claims creates more questions than it answers.
There are lots of technical-looking diagrams that don't mean anything,
and there are some laughable sketches of people with wiggly lines around them to demonstrate energy fields. Ooh, energy fields. I'm a believer in science, meditation, placebo, epigenetics,
and self-healing, but this book mashes it all together into a pile of incoherent nonsense.
End of review. I feel like drawing wiggly lines next to someone
is something I saw in textbooks in high school.
Yeah, true.
Like, wiggly lines are how they taught me
or attempted to teach me everything about physics
and I still don't understand.
True, there's so many wiggly lines in physics.
So many wiggly lines.
Are you kidding me?
Yeah.
Like, graphing?
I mean, I don't understand what the problem is with that, but...
Well, I don't know anything, Christina. I didn't't read the book it was very rude to say i'd be more
embarrassed if i wrote it that is pretty that would probably cut pretty deep that's fair yeah
my next one is of i don't know how to say it uh paco quita paso quita it's a ground peanut candy
bar do you know those little like ground like they're like they're yellow they come in a plastic tub
and they're these small rectangular
with a yellow wrapper
small rectangular ground peanut
candy bar. Absolutely
delicious. You've had them? Yes.
Tim bought like a jug.
Jungle Jims. Yeah they had a bunch.
How do you spell it? P-A-C-O-Q-U-I-T-A
and the C has a little tail. I'm not familiar with that's a little tail
i'm sorry i'm sorry people don't be mad i'm so ignorant sometimes about certain things
pasaquitos or pashaquitos i don't know okay i don't know so here is a review titled Addictive and Definitely Delicious.
This is five stars.
Okay, I have ordered so many of these addictive tubs of Brazilian candy,
I am embarrassed to give the actual count.
I've sent them to friends, relatives, and I've had to replace my nephew's order
because I ate all of his.
I'm embarrassed, but these are amazing.
There are no American candies that are like this.
It's hard to describe, but if you like the filling inside a Reese's peanut butter cup,
then you will love these.
Okay.
And they are easy to eat.
You can easily justify just one more, and then you realize you have eaten the whole
container, and you find yourself ordering more.
Just crazy.
And your cousin's crying, or your nephew is crying, and you've sunk into a deep, dark place.
That would be me.
These things are that good.
I would go to the tub, grab a handful and stick them in my pockets.
Honestly?
And just carry them around.
That was scary because I just saw it in my mind when you described it.
It was so accurate.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was introduced to these little hedonistic mouthfuls during covid by a
friend who simply stated i want you to try a piece of candy and needless to say she had opened the
gateway they are delicious end of review drug i know that this person is a little more intense
than i think i was with them but they are quite good oh my god i mean you were
smuggling them in your pocket so i don't know about that yeah smuggling them all the way up
the stairs yeah to the third floor true true uh that's quite a way to go you know it was yeah
especially for me wow uh i'm really feeling fomo about not having eaten these before i know i know
honestly can i say something yeah Yeah, I'll allow it.
I'm embarrassed.
You shouldn't be, that you haven't had these?
Yeah.
Yeah, you should be.
I'm embarrassed that you didn't bring me one.
I'm not embarrassed.
At all.
I would never let you have any of mine.
Get your own, Jesus.
Also, I don't really want your pocket candy,
so it's okay.
I'll wait till Tim goes back to Jungle Gems.
Yeah, it held up pretty well in my pockets, I don't really want your pocket candy, so it's okay. I'll wait till Tim goes back to Jungle Gems. Yeah.
It held up pretty well in my pockets, even if they were in there for multiple days.
Oh, good.
Which they definitely were.
Okay, good.
Great.
Here, my next one is a review of The Backup Plan slash Bounty Hunter 2010 slash How Do
You Know slash Ugly Truth. truth okay it's a date night
for movie collection on amazon oh my god i thought we were doing eek still and i was like waiting for
somebody to shout eek during that entire and honestly it warranted it like i feel like it
would have fit in perfectly um so this is i'm sorry these are romantic comedies oh i see so the ugly truth the backup plan the bounty hunter
and how do you know for uh classic date night movies um i mean it's got katherine heigl
yeah gerard butler i think most of them do have katherine heigl to be fair she's in every single
one i think i mean i don't think so of every single rom-com i think pretty much she should be she should be yes i agree yeah um so yeah this is a dvd box set basically of these four movies um
so gary left a review and i believe changed it or deleted the old one and then wrote this one Oh, Gary. Five stars, okay? Okay. Sorry, false alarm.
I got all four movies.
Well, I'm embarrassed, but happy, to admit that I sent you a false alarm previously.
I had missed the fourth movie in the jacket because I wasn't expecting one of the discs to have two movies on it.
My mistake, and I apologize for the drama.
Gary.
Wait, I'm so sorry.
What website is this on?
Amazon.
Oh, okay.
I'm like, where's IMDB?
Like, where is he posting this?
Oh, yeah, on Amazon under the product.
Oh, boy.
Yeah, and then signed it with his name.
You know that.
Gary's nephew was over eating those candies and said uncle what do you mean show me another movie
the fourth movie's on this disc too you're like oh gee willikers i better go change my amazon
willikers um leaving a trail of those little candy wrappers behind him um okay i was thinking you
know um what's his name jeffrey bezos i always
get this is so embarrassing speaking of embarrassing i got jeffrey bezos and elon musk
confused which isn't that embarrassing if you think about it but that or if you don't think
about it but then once you think about it you're like yeah no yeah it makes sense but in my mind
they kind of just get relegated to the same, like, distant prison.
But anyway, so Jeffrey Bezos, you know, was caught up in this drama.
Oh, yeah.
Was first posted.
Because how could you not be?
No.
You know?
Yeah.
Even Katherine Heigl was in this drama.
Oh, my God.
I heard.
I heard about that.
She almost quit acting.
Yeah, true.
God forbid.
Fucking Gary.
Gary, calm.
Like, just fucking take a minute what's
with all the drama what's with all gary's always bringing the drama and i'm honestly sick of it
except i'm not because i really just i need more gary i kind of love if i'm being honest i did go
to gary's profile nothing too else that i could find did he like on all the ones that were just
really dull and boring say like i'm so sorry for all the drama because i feel like he's the type
to be like he did not i'm bringing just chaos and everyone's like wait really maybe
i'll have to check in in the future oh boy uh my next one is of zubaz officially licensed men's
nfl men's long sleeve t team color this is a carolinathers T, long sleeve T. Oh, I see.
NFL team.
This is a four star review by Winona.
It's nice, but it is a men's shirt.
I'm embarrassed, but I thought this was a women's shirt.
It came up when I searched women's Rams long sleeve shirt.
Oh, by the way, they, sorry, they must have gotten the Ram's one of them, which isn't available right now.
But it didn't say their name.
That would be wild if it came up as this one and she bought it and was like, I didn't realize.
No, the problem isn't even that it's the wrong team. Yeah, yeah.
I was in a hurry to buy a top before going to a game.
So I got this and even rushed the delivery for an extra $12.
When I got it, I was so confused as it fit like a huge tent.
I just now realize it was my mistake for ordering a men's shirt.
I'm actually going to see if it will fit my boyfriend,
but I don't think it's quite his size,
and it's definitely not my size either.
I know I should return it, but it makes a nice nightgown.
It's super comfy.
I wanted to give a low rating and a bad review,
but it's a nice shirt, and it got here on time.
So this is totally on me.
The only thing I'm still confused about is why this came up when I was searching for a women's top.
Oh well.
I have another top to wear to the game, so I can only laugh about this whole ordering mistake.
End of review.
I think she told that story to everybody.
At the game?
At the party, yeah.
At the tailgate?
Oh my gosh.
Yeah.
They were like, why are you wearing a tent she's like well i'm wearing a tent because i ordered this giant shirt and it didn't fit so
i couldn't find anything else to wear here's this tent i found i like okay all right first of all i
find women's cut clothing to be very stupid but i'm also one of the people that
does not find it flattering on me at all so maybe that's a biased perspective but like i don't think
it's that weird to just buy a shirt that's a men's shirt and be like i'm just gonna wear like
none of our products are gendered on our website you know it's just not yet
yet that circus tent is gonna be women only no women's cut i want
to wear it it's a v-neck uh i don't want to wear it but my my fragile masculinity you can't what
do i do i'm sorry no yeah i know what you mean i agree it's just like really but also what surprised
me is like yeah it's probably like a tent but also if you think about like if i buy like a large in a
women's cut and then a large in a men's shirt, well, I guess they are pretty different.
I was going to say they might not be that different, but I guess they are pretty fitted, the women's ones.
I feel like I've known women who buy the men's version of whatever shirt, but one smaller or something.
Yeah, that's fair.
That's fair.
That's fair.
The cut is different.
But I don't know.
I don't know anything
about that stuff
because I'm just
all I know is I'm growing
and things aren't
fitting me anymore.
Oh no.
I just keep getting new stuff.
Well,
it's an excuse
to go shopping
is what I say.
It is.
It is.
You know,
Leona's growing too.
She is?
Yeah.
That's good.
I love it
because I get to go shopping.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'll go with her sometime.
Great.
All right. My next one is of rotel hot diced tomatoes um oh i've bought those with habaneros 10 ounce
parentheses three pack oh i haven't bought the three pack but the rotel hot diced tomatoes with
habanero oh yeah okay well they sell a three packpack on Amazon. Well, I'm going to go to my local Kroger and buy them there.
Here's a five-star review titled, Midnight Shopping Gone Wrong.
Uh-oh.
Yeah, no more shopping online for me after midnight.
I cannot believe I purchased three cans of Rotel tomatoes for almost $20.
I thought this was a case of tomatoes for $20.
I can't believe I did this to myself.
I'm embarrassed, but I have to laugh about it.
While I cannot say I'll be a return customer,
I can say that the items were packed and delivered with care.
My chili recipe has been elevated.
Bon appetit.
Oh my God, $20 for three cans?
Holy shit.
I can promise you that is not what I paid.
They're on sale now.
$11.88 for a three pack.
That's insanely expensive.
I'm sorry.
I feel like I buy them for a dollar at the store.
I don't know.
I love that most people when it's like ordering online after midnight, it's like, oh, I was
like drunk or stoned and i
bought like an inflatable pool oh yeah she's like i bought three cans of sliced tomatoes
yeah what a lame thing you know she's like sorry i'm just like gary i bring the drama every week
i like the positive attitude but i do wish it was something a little more exciting for their
sake i mean i don't i love I'm like, you know what?
If that's what gets you going and if you're going to go to the tailgate and be like, have
I got a story for you?
I bought a men's shirt and then I bought it.
And someone else says, oh my God, you did?
Guess what I did?
I bought three diced tomatoes.
But my chili game, have you tasted it?
Elevated.
Okay, I have one more.
This one is the last one, and it's a little bit of a stretch.
It's more so they admitted to an embarrassing situation that led to them buying these.
It's not very pleasant, actually, so I'm not sure why I'm reading this.
Oh, great.
Especially as the last one.
And, yeah, but whatever.
You'll be fine, y'all.
This is of Zwipes Microfiber Towel Cleaning Cloths, 36-pack assorted.
Okay.
36-pack of microfiber cleaning cloths.
This is a five-star review titled, I love these for a ton of reasons.
So I'm going to skip a lot of it because
it's a very long review but i'm not gonna keep it too long here we go i'm just gonna read this
one paragraph i love the way these cloths clean i use one for the screen on my kindle fire because
it gets the greasy fingerprinted whatever really don't want to know what this is. My suspicions are bad enough. How about those diced tomatoes?
Just one by one by one.
With these cloths, I don't need to spray anything.
I just rub with a circular motion.
And for difficult splatters, shutter, LOL, I do that.
Ha.
Ha.
Ha.
They spell it H-A-A-A, like where you breathe on something to wipe it.
Sorry, I'm trying to like...
I was like, are you okay?
How do I show this?
That thing we all do on our sunglasses.
You just gave me like the opposite shivers, like the bad kind.
What's the opposite of ASMR?
I think that's what you just did.
I'm so sorry.
I think you did R-M-S-A.
Shut up.
Jesus Christ.
It took me a second.
I am not well.
Okay, go on.
I can tell.
I don't quite understand how it works, but it does.
Grease and everything gone.
The screen is left clean and shiny.
The same for sunglasses, regular eyeglasses, pretty much everything glass or
plastic, tile, etc. These cloths really make cleaning anything easier. I even used one in
that floor mop, the one that you have to buy its own disposable cloths for. I haven't washed them
yet, so it was pretty big, but wow did it get stuff up. On a more personal note, I even used
one to clean my ears. Yep, you heard me. Or maybe you...
No, I won't do that.
It's just too easy.
Anyway, a while back, like an idiot,
I was cleaning my ears and straightening up the bathroom at the same time.
I had a cotton-ended ear cleaning device in my ear,
theoretically soaking up excess water.
I saw...
No.
Trigger warning.
There is, yes.
It is, yes.
Oh my god.
For ear pain.
I slung my towel up over the top of the shower door, and my upper arm hit the swab, ramming
it into my ear really hard.
Oh my god.
I'm not only an adult, I'm a grandmother.
I freaking know better.
I actually screamed.
That's how bad it hurt, and when I brought it out,
my ear was bleeding. Thankfully, no real
damage done, and now that I've bored you with my
way too much info life story,
I will tell you that's the reason I use
microfiber cloth to clean my
poor ears. They also get the
hairspray and miscellaneous grooming products
out, too. I started doing this using
the hair twist thing you see advertised on
TV. My ears are so happy
now. End of review.
Christina, I don't know.
This review was the most chaotic.
Like so many parentheses
with just sidebars going on.
I'd like her to stop putting things
in her ears for all of our
on all of our behalf. Agreed.
So I'm sorry I ended on that one.
I just...
Wait, what was she embarrassed about again?
Her story.
Oh, just the whole thing.
The reason she's using microfiber cloths to clean her ears.
Oh, the ears, right.
So that's why I felt it fit
was because she bought...
Well, I didn't know if it was the splatters,
all that.
She wasn't embarrassed about buying them,
but she was embarrassed about
the why she uses them for a certain yeah that defo counts thank you thank you
you're so welcome everybody oh that's funny uh yeah don't stick stuff in your ears folks
don't do that it's really it's not good it's really quite dangerous including q-tips yeah
