Episode Date: July 2, 2019

Hello everybody again and welcome to another episode of Quick Question with Soren and Daniel. This is the show where two best friends and their buddy, separated by 3,000 miles, get together once a week to ask and answer each other's questions about online dating, deep sea fishing, garbage trucks, and literally nothing else. I'm Daniel O'Brien, author and writer for Last Week's Night with John Oliver, joined today, always and forever, by Hoomst. This is Soren Bui. I am a television writer and, as of recently, television voice. Oh yeah?

Yeah. I'm a role in American Dad in the next season. What did you, did you campaign for that? No. Well, I mean, yeah, but quietly. I, what I, I knew I was SAG eligible because you and I did a movie with some friends from Five Second Films called Do Bro Party Massacre 3. And in that they Ta they taft hartley dust which means that we became sag eligible and they won't give voices to people on american dad who aren't sag or sag eligible because it means they have to spend a bunch of money so uh but we all get cast in different roles for the for the table read because you don't have the right actors there yet uh and so i got cast in a pretty meaty role that was like at least seven lines of dialogues when i qualify as meaty and i was like i'm going to eat this alive and like really got

into character figured it out recorded myself to make sure it sounded right and everything and went to the room and did it and people were like yeah that was really good and then and our showrunner was like do you want the role do you want the part and i was like you bet i do do you do do you like do like a a voice do you is there an accent that you do it all well yeah so i'm a ghost child uh so what does that mean i'll do it for you that's like a really high-pitched voice um i'mett. I'm the ghost of a boy who died 300 years ago. Okay. Like that. That's very, very good.

Yeah. But see, like, keep in mind, I'm just throwing this on. I haven't, I haven't like put the collar up or like done all the things I need to do in the mirror to prep. I'm just showing you the basics of what it looks like. Okay. That's so wonderful. I think I'm so showing you the basics of what it looks like. Okay. That's so wonderful. Uh,

I think I'm so happy for you, Dan, in line with our last episode, this ghost definitely sounds white. Oh yeah. No, no ghosts are white. It's fine.

Uh, but anyway, this is quick question. Uh, the podcast with Soren and Daniel. And, uh, as always,

we have our listeners who are also known as uh quick quickly p.o box nine quick three does that scan is that a reference that works for anyone no i'm not tracking it okay so uh if you were my age and you watched Nickelodeon at the time that I watched Nickelodeon, uh, there was a character called stick stickly, which was like a popsicle stick. Oh, yeah. Simmer down stick. Okay. I'm yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And it was like, right to me, stick stickly PO box nine six three, New York city, New York state one Oh one Oh eight. Uh, so this was a reference to that. Yeah, that's good. I'm going to, yeah, I know you hate suggestions, Dan,

but one from my era would be Quickly Down Under. Can we call them that? Quickly's Down Under? No, we can't. We can't. Okay. Okay. That's fine.

So we're going to talk about a lot of things today. We're going to ask each other questions. We're going to surprise each other with a couple of things, and we're going to dig into what you, our listeners, want. The first thing I'm going to do is read a review from a person whose name is Music Underscore Hoagie, and this person gave us a five-star review on itunes uh and he or she said big fan of this podcast so glad my favorite former cracked writer and some other dude came together to record

this stuff needs more listicles though that's a pretty excellent burn. It's the best burn I've ever heard. It's so good. Wow. So do you want to dissect that? Do you want to dive into who you think it is? Yeah. I mean, I have to assume it's you. Why? That can't possibly be.

It was your site. But you're the good writer. You're the better writer among us. So it's like if you're going to have a favorite writer from Cracked, it should be Soren. I bet it's you. Because I think that if it would have gone the other way, I'm not sure they would have been like some other guy.

I think they would have tried to throw in some other qualifier. I am as close to like a milquetoast mannequin as you can get. And so there are no qualifiers for me. Also makes me a little bit curious because the person's name was Music Hoagie. That's you. That's right up your alley. When did you learn the term hoagie? Where, where was that in your life? Okay. I, we would go to the boardwalk when I was a kid in New Jersey, uh, in a dry city there called Ocean City. And that was the first place I had heard it. I was probably like eight.

Okay. That's that. I'm, I'm just, you, you give me, I'm, I'm no closer to the answer that I want because, uh, I,

I grew up in, uh, central Northern Jersey and we had subs. That was the, the nomenclature for, uh, six inch to a foot long sandwich with a bunch of meat on it. And then I spent some time in South Jersey and they were like, no,

we don't call it subs. We call it hoagies. And it was a very clearly a regional thing. South Jersey is hoagies, North Jersey is subs. And I didn't know how that extended for the rest of the country. Yeah. Wow. That kind of delineation in just one state. But I guess that's sort of the origin place. Yeah. But like you grew up in Colorado.

Yeah. You went to Subway. What did you get at Subway? Was it? Yeah, we would get subs. Did you get a sub? Yeah, we would get subs. We never called them submarines by any means.

No one does. Fucking no one does. We called them submarines by any means, but no one does. Fucking no one does. We called them. Yeah, they were just they were their sandwiches or they were subs. And so if somebody if you want, if you get a place that would give you the option of like some fuck off square wheat bread or a sub role, you would say I want it on a I want it on a sub role. When was the first time that you heard hoagie? Was it was going to South Jersey? Yeah. That's so fascinating.

Yeah. What is, okay, so the, you get an ice cream sundae and you put a bunch of colorful sugared bullshit on it. What do you call those? Sprinkles. Yeah? Yeah, but I'll tell you, that same boardwalk coors brothers uh custard they called it jimmy's and i didn't understand yeah we had we had we had uh jimmy's in south

jersey again and it was like this this very clear divide of if you're north jersey it's subs sprinkles 7-eleven if you're south jersey it's Hoagies, Jimmies, and Wawa. Yeah, I think what we're learning is that South Jersey is some geographical anomaly. Yeah, absolutely. They just decided they want different words than everybody else for things. I believe that. So we're going to get into the thing that we're going to talk about this week. I mean, there's no thing that we're going to talk about. We. I mean, there's no thing that we're going to talk about.

We're just going to ask people questions, and it's going to be fine. I wanted to ask you a question before that I wanted to talk about my life this week. Is that okay? Yeah. Dan, what's going on in your life? Yeah, thank you. Thank you very much for asking that question. I went to the jimmy awards you

know what the jimmy awards are yes there's uh words for sprinkles right nope that's so funny that's very good uh the jimmy awards is the tony awards but for high school theater oh yes okay there's a woman on twitter who i follow who's very into these natalie walker yeah she wrote for the jimmy awards this year oh. She covered them last year. She's the best and very funny. Everyone should follow Natalie Walker and walks on Twitter. She's the best and the

funniest and the smartest. I went there with a bunch of co-workers yesterday. It was so fun. It's high school children just doing their fucking goddamn best making musical theater and uh the two winners there's a boy winner and a girl winner and they get 25 000 scholarships for theater schools and separate from that you get to if you're there you get to perform in front of a

bunch of Broadway theater scouts like everyone who performs is very good and they will all probably be on Broadway in the future and it was amazing to see it was very emotional for me because I am a recovering high school theater kid. And I wondered, were you a theater kid? I don't know if I know this about you. I know that you did like improv and stuff in college, but I didn't know if you were like a high school theater kid with all that that entails. Well, maybe that's your question. I was about to ask if this is like the Under Armour All-American game where football players from all over the country come together. The best of the best come together to all play in one game. Is that how this works?

Listen, I don't know. high school but my high school experience it has no uh there's no analog for it because i went to school in a barn and when i was done with a play we'd stay up that night delivering calves because the birthing lights are on and that's when the cows will give birth is this true is this real real stuff that you would do a play and then delivered cats yeah the the the auditorium was a barn i mean it was refurbished you weren't doing the play on hay or anything like that there's an actual floor there and stuff but it's an old barn with a really high ceiling and an auditorium set up like stadium seating of like three or four rows set up and i think think this, this, this number always surprises me. How many people were in your high school class? Oh, my class.

Uh, 38, I think. Okay. So there's, there's, there's really no room for you to be like a jock or a geek or a theater kid or a, or a whatever really. Cause whatever really because because yeah there there's clearly areas where you excel i mean a lot of those kids went on to be sponsored skiers or compete in the x games and things like that and i wasn't that by any means um and i guess that would be our like if you're really good at kayaking i guess that was our the closest we had to being the athlete oh you know we had a soccer team that was the only thing we competed against other other schools with but it was not we never won any games or anything that

was more just for like hey this is what it means to be on a team and lose a bunch um what did you so but you're you're such a physically fit fella so what did was there just like a youth athletics league in your town that that you did lacrosse or soccer no uh the best i can describe it and that like i don't want to i'm not comparing myself to him here i'm just trying to give you a sense of how this works uh on krypton superman is not good at anything he's just like a mediocre baby and probably would have grown up into a mediocre guy. But because he's on our planet, he's like

suddenly what was mediocrity where he used to live counts as like he can excel here. That's what it was growing up where I was. Everybody was so physically fit and it was so important and such an institution there that i went along with it but i wasn't particularly good at any of the stuff but i did it just as much

as everybody else i just had a lower ceiling but that means that i still practiced as much as say a pro would but i just wasn't very good. Okay. And that's what, and then that translates into a lot of different sports when you're athletic across a couple different sports, you kind of like learn the language of how to fall, how to jump and catch, how to do that kind of stuff. And so in high school,

in your small high school, you were mostly doing the sports, not doing the theater thing. Yeah. So there'd be a spring play, a fall play, and then a winter play. And the So there'd be a spring play, a fall play, and then a winter play. And the spring play was always a musical. I'm not a singer by any stretch. Uh, when did you start doing, uh, like theater stuff, like play stuff when I was in college?

Really? Yeah. That's where I really got into it and sort of fell into it a little bit because they, uh, we did general editions and there was a teacher who pulled me aside and he was like that was really really good i'd like you to be in my play and i was like yeah of course someone's paying attention to me yeah and uh and then that from that point on i was like because it was something that i was good at in a new environment where i was trying to define who i was i was like maybe i'm this and so i started acting that's very fascinating to me okay you were a theater kid though i i was i like like a uh horribly theater kid yeah i, it was my whole thing. I,

I think in, in maybe like fourth or fifth grade, saw my older brother do a high school play and was like, when I'm in high school, I'm going to do plays. And then a year after that saw a local theater thing where a child was in the play. And I was like, I'm allowed to do this now. I don't have to wait till high school.

And then I just like immediately started doing local theater, community theater. Oh, so you were in the group with like 60 year olds. Yeah. Yeah. I started, I was like,

uh, an 11 year old kid doing theater with every age range from 6 through 60, doing Scrooge and fucking Seussical. Yeah, my brother was like this. My brother did the little sweep. Yeah? Your brother, who, by the way, what is it like? Hey, Soren, quick question. What's it like knowing that your brother has a much better Twitter handle than you? You do. What is his Twitter handle? It's the real Bowie.

Yeah. Well, listen, we I was doing mine in solidarity with you and Michael at the time. It's like getting a tattoo. You know, you don't think you're going to be for the rest of your life. And then you realize slowly, like, this is just who you are. Yeah, he was very into theater and musical theater. And that's part of the reason I kind of shied away from it in high school a little bit was because he was so good at it that I was like, no, I got to find my thing. good at it that i was like no i gotta find my thing um and then uh just by like proximity to him i i think i started acting more and more and then i when i went to high to college i realized that

i actually i was like oh i think i've i've done enough of this that i can be okay at it okay but uh yeah he used to do a theater in aspen they used to go like the aspen music tent and they would do big plays and the little sweep was one of them and i remember going and seeing him and he was this child among a bunch of adults and i was like what are those adults doing is aspen was that like a good theater town yeah it was i know it's a good comedy town oh well yeah like once a year it's great comedy town as far as theater yeah there's like a bunch of places for it there's a place called the wheeler opera house which is famous for plays and um yeah there's a huge arts community in aspen wow that's nice yeah uh hey

soren do you have any uh questions for me yeah yeah i do um dan quick question yeah do you do you have a curse like and i'm by that i mean do you have something in your life that if you try to explain to other people it would seem completely implausible and like maybe just a phobia but there's concrete evidence that there's something in your life that's following you and may at some point be the cause of your demise. I can give you an example before you start. Yeah, please do. Okay. Please do.

There's a show on right now called Fleabag that's on Amazon. It's a wonderful show. I encourage everyone to watch it. In it, there is a priest who is terrified of foxes and it's a hot priest yeah he's a hot priest uh he's terrified of foxes and with good reason because foxes follow him around they're just there's any time that he's around there's a pretty good chance that within the local woods there's a fox they're just waiting on the skirt outskirts just watching him and i know that uh you have someone in your life i i don't want to like

out people in your life but there's someone in your life who's afraid of frogs getting in your mouth yes and no i will out her my sister-in-law marnie whom i i i love desperately is so thoroughly convinced that a frog is going to jump into her mouth and uh it's it's not even just it's if she had just stopped at like i'm afraid of frogs that would have been fine but she's very specifically no a frog is going to jump into my mouth and but their frogs follow her right like she's got and they do yes yes absolutely they do where uh my brother her husband um who's not a guy who believes in any kind of supernatural or spiritual anything he's he's a very pragmatic logical person even he was like since i met marn, there have been more frogs in my life.

They just hop into your circle. They're just around. They follow her. And we all know that it's going to happen. It's just a matter of when at this point. Yeah, you just get this thing caught up in your orbit, and then it's there. My wife, when she was a little girl and up until college she had a dog that was terrified of water if

anybody tried to bathe this dog it would bite them and it was not a mean dog other than that but it would flip out around the slightest bit of water that dog drowned in a pool oh it just knew somehow i knew um but that's a very sad thing soren yeah oh sorry i i've already dealt with the emotional cost of this i shouldn't have just dropped that on you so so easily i mean we've grieved over this and we've had our talks and things but i at this point i'm i'm numb to it it's okay i have my, my main fear, I guess, is that my, uh, well, I have two and one is very sad. One of them, the non-sad one is that my toilet is going to shoot all the water out. This is exactly what I was hoping for.

That's, that's the thing that I, I think it's only a matter of time before this happens. And it's, um, it's not going matter of time before this happens and it's, it's not going to be triggered by a flush. It's not going to be triggered by anything. It's just one day I'm going to wake up and I'll walk into my bathroom and the water is going to shoot up like an unstoppable, uncontrollable fountain of water and piss and shit. And I'll just,

I'm just going to be there sitting there trying to catch some of it in like a bucket and then the bucket is not gonna be enough to catch it so it's just gonna overflow the bucket and then overflow the bathroom and i won't know what to do i'm just gonna be sitting there like covered in shit and piss and water and uh and and and and be completely absent of a solution i i will have nothing to do or say i'm just gonna watch this spew this volcanic spew of excrement and do nothing that's like a a real fear that i have all the time it's just the shining but with fecal matter coming out of that door yeah and it's not stopping and i and and there's no one i can talk to about it i can't do anything about it i just have to let it happen yeah well who could you

call that quickly and also no you couldn't but you can't call the cops they're doing other stuff it's new york they're doing stuff i just have to let it happen until it tires itself out, I guess. Until the world is out of water. Yeah. And then I clean it. Like, that's fine. I'm ready to clean it. I'm okay with cleaning it. It's just that I don't know when it's going to stop. So, there's ever been a time when you flushed the handle and heard something different and thought, this is it. Yes, absolutely.

A thousand times. Especially my toilet in my new apartment in New York because I lived in Los Angeles for many years. You remember, we were friends. And I had the same apartment for like five years and got very used to that toilet and now i have a new toilet and i don't trust it as much as my old toilet well you got to know that scares me yeah well it will horrify you to know that when i first moved into my house within three days uh my i flushed the toilet in

the downstairs bathroom and shit came up through the shower really the shit oh my god yeah you didn't know the possibility did you so so you flushed the toilet and then the situation was different in the shower yes Yes. God damn it. Yeah. And now you live with that knowledge, knowing that that's a possibility. That's my fucking nightmare, Soren. Yeah.

I can tell you how it happened. There's clay pipes, old clay pipes that lead to the sewer, have joints in them. What do you mean clay? Terracotta pipes, basically. Back before the 60s, maybe not like the 80s, all piping that left houses was all this terracotta pipes basically back before the 60s maybe not like the 80s all piping that left houses was all this terracotta

it was like a clay piping and it has joints in it and roots get in through those joints and they start clogging it up and if they clog up that sewer line anything that's connected to that sewer line then whatever would ordinarily be flowing

to the sewer can come up through those. So it all, and the lowest thing I guess was that shower. And so it came up through the shower onto our, into the, into the bathroom and onto the floor. How do you, how do you fix like, it, it seems like to me an idiot, it seems like you'd need to redo all of your pipes at that point no all you got to do is get rid of that root and then you can get everything through but if the like clay smashes all the time over time roots can break it and some people it just like shatters and

then they're in a situation like that where they're just fucked where you have how do you how do you get rid of the root you have to send down a clean out uh if you put you bore down a clean out into the um sewer line and then they send this long camera they figure out where it is and then they just put this spiky tool down through it and just grind and grind and grind until they get through the root wow yeah and uh yeah it's awful it was for three days we just had that in our bathroom and we didn't clean it up out of the bathroom because it was still like there's nowhere to put any of it so you're just like you just close that door off and that's hell from then on damn anyway i'm all right it's there so i'm sorry i got a i got a

quick question for you unless you you you have more to say for your quick question. No, I was just going to say, I do have one, and I can get through it really quickly. And that's that in random circumstances where someone is picked out of a crowd, I regularly end up being that person. And this is not just like in a fun situation where there's like a comedian who's like, no, I i'm gonna pick on this guy this is like if a crazy person will be like that's the guy oh and then i'm i'm the focus of his eye or whatever whatever he's got going on and this

happened to me twice recently where i was sitting in a jack-in-the-box drive-through i see a guy across the street trying to fight somebody at a gas station. He's not wearing a shirt. It's like 11.30 at night. And he turns and looks across the street at my car. And it's night. And he's just like, that's the one. And so he comes over to my car and he starts trying

to get in. He tries to get into your car? He tries to get in my car. How does he try to get in? Like just working the handle? Yep, comes over to the passenger seat, tries to open it. The door's locked because when it's in drive, it's in lock. He starts trying to open, then he goes, open the door.

And I gave him a slow head shake, like, no. And then he came over to my window, which I was then rolling up, got it all the way up, and he tried to open that door. I was like, open the door. And so I backed out of the jack-in-the-box and left without my food. Another, just two days ago, I was at a yogurt land, and this guy follows me in, and he's like, will you buy me a yogurt? And he hasn't asked anybody else this question, and I was like, okay, sure, sure. He was in bad shape.

Yeah, buy him a yogurt. And sure he's in bad shape yeah buy my yogurt and uh and so he's like okay thanks and so he starts he he poured you know what a yogurt land is like you get to pour your own yogurt your own frozen yogurt he starts uh pulling the lever until a little shit fish tail comes out like six inches and then he grabs it with his fists and tastes it and i go whoa what are you doing and he goes i need to know what the flavors are i was like there's pictures there's pictures also there's little cups over there you can get a sample and he goes okay okay doesn't go over to get the samples but now with his grubby hand now he's like pulling on each lever just to watch the stuff come out he's not putting his cup underneath it he's just watching them come out of each one

and i stopped him i was like stop it what are you what are you doing how how old is this person uh i don't know 38 wow yeah younger than anticipated and uh and so i but he's always apologetic no matter what i say to him he's apologetic he just does it's like he's new to earth and uh finally he pours in just a ton of yogurt it's barely staying in there. And then he goes over to the condiments and I'm like, come on, man, you can't, you can't put any more on there. And he's like, no, I just want some of the, oh, and some of this. And it's just pooling off of his yogurt onto the floor.

And finally just put it on the scale, man, let's just get this over with. But I was the guy, I was the guy that he was like, he in with me he was like will you buy me a yogurt and this happens regularly that i am the focus of somebody who's an alien to this world yeah what do you uh i mean there's no way to phrase this question that doesn't put the blame on you and i don't want to blame you it's all right I do things wrong a lot about you who thinks that uh you deserve this kind of not deserve Jesus but uh I think it's because help me out to a better articulation the question that I want to ask that is you just mean why you're insensitive. Yeah, why you? Why do you think this is your curse?

And why do you think you're different than anybody else? I would say the sheer number of times that it's happened to me and people around me are also like, man, you get picked out. You get picked out a lot. And I think it's because of that milquetoast mannequin thing that I was talking about earlier. I'm a guy who is, I don't look dangerous. I don't look like I'm going to hurt anybody. I think that I look like I'm also probably fairly nice. And so people are just like that one.

What's he going to do? So even if they're angry, they're still like, what's he going to do? I'm not there. They're calculating their odds in their head. And either they want something and they're like, yeah, that guy he might help in which case they're absolutely right or they're like i'm gonna fuck that guy up yeah all right well so i got a quick question for you if you don't mind this is a completely about face from what we're talking about go ahead uh what are some of your childhood celebrity crushes? Okay.

This is a surprise question. Soren didn't know I was going to ask him this. Yeah. So here are some. I'll give you two. Designing Women, Annie Potts was on that. And I really liked annie potts and you're gonna notice a theme here bonnie rate bonnie right yeah the there i really i like truly brought this question up because i was hoping you were going to say fucking like 1996 version of elizabeth shoe uh this is way better this is so much better than that yeah i mean once i got to high school

and i kind of understood what my type was then it was people like elizabeth shoe but when i was really young and just kind of like negotiating the idea of sexuality for the first time. I was drawn to Annie Potts and to this one album in particular with Bonnie Raitt on the front. She's got her thumbs tucked in her jeans and she's got that streak of white in her hair. And I was very taken by her. And what specifically about Annie Potts was it? The glasses and the red hair, I think. Okay. So did this come from, this didn't come from Ghostbusters?

This was separate from that? Yeah. In fact, for a long time, I didn't even know it was the same person. Wow. Because she's basically playing the same character too. Yeah. But yeah. And do you care about Bo Peep from Toy Story at all?

No. I don't feel anything for her. Because that's Annie Potts. Is it really? No. I don't feel any way for her. Because that's Annie Potts. Is it really? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Sorry. Who are you apologizing to?

I didn't know. I don't know. I don't know who I'm apologizing to. Annie, I guess. Yeah, Bonnie Raitt and Annie Potts. What about you? I feel like my... Well, no, I want to get back to you for like,

who was the first? Was the first Bonnie Raitt? The first time you were like, I'm attracted to this celebrity person. Was Bonnie Raitt or Annie Potts? Yeah, I'm trying to remember which one came first. It probably was Bonnie Raitt or Annie Potts? Yeah, I'm trying to remember which one came first. It probably was Bonnie Raitt because I also really have a thing

for women who can sing. Okay. That's fine. I just wanted to give them something to talk about. You know? I don't care for that at all. I had an early thing for Sarah Michelle michelle geller yes feels very obvious now because she was buffy for many years and like certainly buffy for like my forward of years

uh but i i was into her because she was Kendall Hart on All My Children. Whoa. And that's where, like, I used to watch All My Children every single day and got very into her from that show and would talk about it in middle school and high school. It was like, oh, my God, Sarah Michelle Keller, right? And everyone was like, yeah, from Buffy. I was like, my god sarah rochelle keller right and everyone was like yeah from buffy i was like oh yep i'm i i i'm also doing the normal thing i also like her from buffy i need to know if you were watching all my children alone uh no i was watching with my mom yeah okay that that checks out then we we uh uh so tivo didn't exist and dvr didn't exist but we, uh, uh, so TiVo didn't exist and DVR didn't exist, but we had, uh, VHS things that

would, you can record like one thing a day, every day in the past. Yeah. Uh, and we would like, we used our thing to record all my children every day. And then I would come home from school and watch all my children with my mom. And she loved it for the soap aspect of it. And I love it for the, Oh my God. Sound show Geller.

So hot. I want to fuck this girl on the show. Um, uh, yeah. I wonder if that's a more common thing that happens with young boys because i used to watch young and the restless with my mom every day really yeah i can remember in the summer watching it with her and we would do young in the breakfast which is

we would eat like a brunch while we would watch young and the restless soren that's so fucking cute that's the cutest thing i've ever heard so young in the breakfast yeah so i think maybe this is more common than bacon did you ever watch uh daytime sales with your parents no i had an immigrant family all right and they didn't do a lot of like uh we watched a lot of like prices right in the morning when i was sick. And like the various game shows, but they weren't a big soap fan. I went to a school with, I think I'm trying to remember now,

but one of the, like the daughter of one of the guys, his name is John McCook. And I think he was like a 40 year cast member of young and the restless. Yeah. I think that that's Victor. Let me, let me look him up.

What's his name? John McCccook i believe yeah i i still remember all these characters really well uh so anyway sarah michelle geller that no yeah so sarah geller was one of them uh uh certainly um nala from lion king was a huge celebrity crush. Oh, wait, that counts? We're counting those? Yeah, yeah. Oh, well, then off. Stacey Dash was a huge one for me. Stacey Dash was great. It's a shame that she sucks now.

Yeah. That's, if we're counting those characters, then Maid Marian in the Disney's Robin Hood. That would have been probably the first. Oh, yeah, yeah, no, of course. Yeah. But yeah, go ahead. Nala is yeah go ahead nala is yeah now it's very now it's big yeah and and stacy stacy dash was was great and now i'm i'm very sad at how her life has turned out what was it about stacy dash that you like can you say

like was it physical or was that you respected her comedy even then um what do you mean respected her comedy even then? What do you mean respected her comedy even then? Was she doing more? Like, I only knew her from Clueless. I watched Clueless and saw Stacey Dash as Dion. And I was like, that's the prettiest woman that has ever existed in the history of time. And she is so confident i was yeah was mesmerized by how confident she was i guess i don't see a lot of things she's been in

uh nothing she she did clueless she did the clueless tv show she uh ran for congress and then decided to not run for congress but was still on the ticket. And it was embarrassing and terrible. And that's the entirety of her career as far as I'm concerned. Dan, how do you feel? She doesn't look like she's really aging at all, because I also had a crush on Stacey Dash. And it stirs old feelings for me, because she looks pretty much the same now that she did 20 years ago.

pretty much the same now that she did like 20 years ago. I don't feel entirely comfortable speaking on the work that women have done on themselves. I feel like she has done a lot of work.

Period. Bacon, you've led me into a trap i did not think i was leading anyone into a trap i didn't know that that's i i feel like yeah maybe i should mix this because i didn't think that she looked like she had any work done or anything i guess i don't even know what that looks like recently but she was very very pretty and clueless i'm she was so pretty and clueless. I'm so pretty and clueless. Yeah. She's really,

really gorgeous eyes. Uh, and I guess that is like your first, in your first crushes, it's always the people who are, it's beauty first. Like that's your biological imperative. Like I like the way she looks.

Um, I'm trying to think then why like Bonnie Raitt so much. Did you, uh, what were your thoughts on like the the power rangers uh was that i were you too old for power rangers when they came out yeah the first iteration of power rangers i so for power rangers i was into it like i was still within the prime demographic for about two years and then dropped out of it hard because people turned against that kind of thing in my school where it was like, no, that's for kids. That's for babies. And so really, really turned against Power Rangers. But I mean, I'm familiar with all the characters.

Are you going to mention the Pink Ranger here? Yeah, I am. Of course I am. She was gorgeous. Amy Jo Johnson. She was incredible. Yeah. That's a fair one. Johnson. She was incredible. Yeah. That's a fair one.

Those lips, those eyes. Get out of town. Power Rangers is one of the more important things in my life. But I think we're getting pretty close to the end of this episode. Right? Bacon, can you confirm that? Yeah, we're like four-fifths of this episode. Right, Bacon? Can you confirm that? Yeah, we're like four-fifths of the way

where we usually go. Okay. Very helpful way to describe time. Yeah. You know, it's easier to understand fractions instead of actual time. I'm getting pretty exhausted and I have so many things to do.

I need to track down all the social media accounts. But while I'm getting pretty exhausted and I have so many things to do. I need to track down all the social media accounts, but while I'm doing that, Soren, you said you had a list of great band names that you just wanted to give away for free. What's that list? That list of band names that you had?

Yeah. I don't even have to pull it up because I have them all memorized. Uh, cluster hole and, um, uh, bubonic hag. I thought it would be a good one. Um, because I have them all memorized. Clusterhole and Bubonic Hag, I thought would be a good one. The Dark Season.

Midnight to Twilight. Am I pronouncing that right? Twilight. The Rooster crows no yeah in your in your email to me you said you had three more yeah the rooster crows like hark the rooster crows not like these are the roosters the rooster crows that you're thinking of uh uh toonsie and the Mayballs. You're going to get a lot of overlap with Toots and the Maytalls. The Future is a Good Name. That's the whole band name.
