bread and eat some bread. Gosh darn it. Riley pelusis hello. How are you think she's still here after the pop rocks and coke? Oh my gosh, you guys. I cleaned my room this weekend and I had sticky soda pop rocks spit just everywhere to clean it off. I did tell people about that because your mouth crackled for like a long time. It did it? Did it? Did? Um? I felt quite odd afterwards, like I had like things, you know, but that was that was extreme for your enjoyment.

You don't want to hurt pop rock sales at all, but like I don't think you're supposed to dump the whole thing in. I didn't even think about it. I was just like, this is my job, I'll do it. And by the way, here here's another disclaim that we didn't. Nobody instructed Riley to do the whole bag. It was just supposed to be a couple of sprinkles. And you should have seen. We were a dog, We were mouths agape.

We were shocked into inactive when she poured the whole thing and we were just like I was watched the video back and it was pure Like I watched it about ten times because each foreign frame, like you've got Amy and Danielle all had different reaction to the time. It was chaos, just chaos. Watching and watching every time

was different. It was so good. I thought she might like, you know when you eat nerds, he doesn't and you like dump them in your hand and you might take a few, but you just like you just trained them all man. Anyway, what do you go for us today? Well, we are back in the saddle again with pop culture. We are, and so first off, we're going to talk about the episode title, because back in the saddle again, so which Amy loves to sing. Back in the saddle again,

plea list in Seattle. They used that song. Oh do they really? M hmmm. So Gene Autry has described as many as the singing cowboy beginning es and became evident with his song back in the Saddle Again. He's a member in the Saddle. Like they don't like when we interrupt you, so you know, but I'm always down for a musical interruption. Interruption probably. He was a member of both the Country Music and Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, and his only celebrity have five stars on the Hollywood

Walk of Fame. A lot, oh for the different Sorry I'd say I interrupted you. I'm sorry, It's okay, No, don't be sorry. Here's the thing to everybody sitting at home in front of your teletype machines listening to this um. She says such stunningly great research things that we get shocked into it and we have many questions. Right, no, wait, we can't contain ourselves because the information she's imparting is so impactful to our lives. But what's a teletype? Is

it too much to ask you? In addition, in addition, could you go on the Hollywood Block of Fame this week and find all of gene Autres five stars. I would love to. Okay, so now you have to do that, and you've already made the omelet, which we appreciate, so I don't how to make it all the way up there. And HONESTLYE see if she can find all five. Let's give her some sort of a prize. We'll give her some pop rocks and coke if she gets it. Isn't she's not that bossing. Do you live? Do you even

live in Hollywood? No? I don't, God, what are you telling you? The poor girl, I don't have a life. It's fine anyway, Dannielle will do it. She had to take today off, so maybe Daniel will do it. Anyways, Back, I'm not doing it. We didn't ask you. Yeah, because you're smart, because you know I'm gonna say no news a big fan. I mean, I might stop off at Hollywood and Highlands. I might try to find three, but I'm not going to try to find all five. I'll do that that I will do. I'm sorry, go ahead, No,

it's okay. Finally, Back in the Saddle is also a song by the band Aeroistic, and again, nobody can sing that high. Nobody there's not he's a he's a creature from another planet. With that already told the story about Steven Tyler Tahoe. I won't repeat it. You remember I went to Tahoe Steven Tyler. I won't do it again. It's a great old it's a great story. The kid on the bike was like almost crashed the bike. Steven Tyler's story. I'm not gonna tell it. Save it for

the next pop culture references. He actually that's what he does. It's a great imitation. I have been known to scream on my recordings. I'm nervous that we've we only have eighteen minutes to do this one and keep back. Next up, we have a fan favorite of our last episode. Uh, Laura License, You've got to read this Motley Crewe book. I swear you get to the point where Ozzy Osborne snorts a row of ants and you think it cannot get any grocer, and then each in the page and oh, hello,

yes it is. It's excellent. I ordered it. I'm waiting for Amazon to deliver. They actually said ten pm tonight, I'll have it. Oh yeah, that exact one I wanted to cover. I ordered the hard back because I thought, oh, I'll look good on the coffee table. Molly Crewe was an American heavy metal band formed in Los Angeles. NINTI One drummer Tommy Lee wrote a book about the band's member crazy story He's called The Dirt. It was released in two thousand one. Hollywood loved the book so much

they decided to make it into a movie. Nearly eighteen years later. Mg K or Machine Gun Kelly, who was engaged to Megan Fox, played the role of Tommy Lee in this movie. Do we think m g K and Tommy Lee are equally as crazy? Who's mg K Machine Gun Kelly? Megan Fox? Yeah? He like didn't he like drink her Megan Fox blood when they got But that that's been done, that's you know Angelina Huldy Billy Bob Thorton did that? Yeah, exactly? Do something else? Drink each other?

You know what else? What other bodily fluids could they drink? To be original? Right? I think rock stars are all kind of crazy. But I also think like they probably sent home like we do, and eat jocolate and watch you know Gilmore Girls, like I really think they do and bashed bok he was on Gilmore Girls. Yeah, but he doesn't sit around in any chocolate. Well, when his episodes start, we're going to have him on and we

will ask mm hmm. And most recently there's a new Hulu series called Pam and Tommy's doing He's probably doing his nails. He's probably putting taking them off so that he can have a normal life and then putting them back on because he has so many public appearances with her. Right, they're always together, like tongues in each other's throats. With the long he doesn't he wear the long nails. They're like a foot long right machine gun color them? Yeah, yeah,

you got it right. I'm not like following a lot of their but every time I see an image of these two guys, you know, he's dressed up like you know, David Bowie on an acid and with these long fingernails. Right, I don't want to get like political about it, but I'm kind of more Brian Austin Green Sharna. I like to follow it political political. I'm like more team Brian Austin. No, but I mean it can't be you know, he can't hang out in his downtime wearing foot long fingernails that

are painted. He's got to take them off, right, I don't know. I mean so that's like a whole process to get him on, glue them on, take him off. We may need to get back to you on this because we only have you know what can you get back to me on this? I would legit poke myself in the eye with nails like that. How he you know, how's he gonna how's he gonna wipe his ass? Right? And what's he gonna do? You can't go to the bathroom, Megan, come on in? Can you help me out here? Love?

He can barbecue though, just rotatesbecue, were barbecuing rats. We're having ten rats for dinner tonight, and I'm okay speaking of Vermin's next up. Ozzy Osborne, which is also part of this reference. Ozzy Osborne is an English singer, songwriter and actor. He rose to fame during the nineteen seventies as the lead vocalist of the heavy metalist battle band

Black Sabbath. Ozzie always on the TV show that Osborne was always like, that was my favorite ever reality show ever, because not only did I love that wacky family, Yeah, I love that house they were in. Ye. Yeah. He has actually never watched one of his own episodes of their reality show. It was quite nice, lovely people. That was the best show I know. I know I was gonna do I was going to do Sharon show when I was back into the sixteen, but I couldn't do it.

I was I wanted to meet I really wanted to meet her. What is she? Show? Were so great to watch it? It was the best. Jack Osborne is truly one of the sweetest. So it is, Kelly, there's anyway keep going. While most people know about the time Ozzie urinated on the Alamo Memorial, uh, few may know that he had a wax statue commemorating this historic moment to ours commissioned. The statue in two thousand one even has a motion sensor that makes the statue start peeing. When

I didn't even know. I think you're going to bring up the bat, I didn't. Well, next maybe to the Rocker he bit the head off. Not that that may or may not have been alive. That's that's what That's what made him super famous. Not that one act. Okay, that look that that was he was a legit rocks. I mean he may have been before that, but man, that got so much pressed I remember when he did that that got so much press. Man yucky. Yeah, but it's rock and roll. It's people that do like wow,

you know, to do that. They're not back in the saddle. It's more more animals than human. A great rock show is more animal. Right, you are what you eat. I guess he's he's bats next week A talking about starting to dinner without Richard. Richards says, yuck in need will go on start. Laura says, oh, no sense in waiting for me. Coolness stop, Lorda says Gomer said Gomer Piles character, what does he say? That was pretty close? You had a little too much pee wee in there? Right? But

what does he say? He doesn't say hello, Hello, Hello, Well Gomer always say. What does Gomer always say? It's a little before my time? Like, I'm you got a lot of pee wee in there. I don't want to be critical lists surpass. Is that too much? Too much? Bae weee? No, you're getting better, Thank you. I'm gonna

work on it. I'll get back. Thank you. Well. Those of who don't know Gomer Pile as a character from The Andy Griffiths Show, played by Jim Neighbors and was an auto mechanic, which is why you know reference it because Richard came came in with all the Greece on him. Eventually he got his spin off show, Gomer Pile u s m C, which ran from nineteen sixty nine. Gomer Pile has become a USMC slang for crewe hood continuously

messes up or needs extra training and um. In nineteen sixty six, Gomer Pile USMC was peaking in popularity while not filming. Neighbors was moonlighting as a nightclub singer in Las Vegas, ranking in forty dollars a week in. So here's the thing that's crazy. But I never knew until this very moment one of the stars because I started to look up while y'all were talking the cast of the Gomer Pile Show. One of the stars, Alan Melvin, is Sam, the butcher from the Brady Bunch, Like, just

blew my mind. That's a mind blowing totally. I think I have a fun fact about Jim Neighbors. You do, I do. Yeah, he has one of the largest and most profitable ginger farms on the island of MAUI really, yes, I don't like ginger is fantastic oh, you have to have the ginger with the sushi. What's wrong? I don't like that. I know it's wonderful, but no, but I

don't like that green stuff. So I was in Maui, I don't know, years ago whatever it was seven years ago, first for the first time doing a a commercial over there. We were over there for a month with Japanese clients and we're on sailboats, were something around, and then we had to go to Hannah. So on the road to Hannah, that's when the driver was like, well, to your left as and you can smell it. It's just it's it's wafting,

it's it's hitting you this ginger smell. Said, that's Jim Neighbors. Yeah, he's got it. He has or had a giant man, giant giant plantation, giant manager, giant ginger farm. And then and we were all kind of really really surprised by it. And the driver turned around, looked at us, and he goes suppressed as, okay, left, you actually nailed it really good, really really anyway, go ahead, Riley. It was a wee bit of beauty. I'll get it. I'm gonna work on it.

So Lane has taken an up to do test and says that she had the thing for sales, pretending to sell the Whippomatic. Clean says because because, as Divo says, if a problem comes along, you must whip it as long as you whip it with a Whippomatic. That was a very funny scene that we did not talk about in the recap. So I'm glad you brought it so funny. So do of us? A song Whip It was released in from their third album, Freedom of Choice. But there's

also the whipp A Mattic, which was in seventies. Crank hand blender claimed to whip faster than any electric blender for the special informercial price of only seven. Still, wow, that's just like the omelet. Yeah, you could whip up a lot of Yeah, that was me and numbers dumbs Mix sures we all know. Um. Diva would wear a hat that they called an energy dome as a helmet as part of the member's stage outfits. The dome was

first born during the band's Freedom of Choice campaign. In the band's forty year history, Whip It remains their only song to chart within the top forty as some As a results, some people would say it's like a one hit wonder. Yes, many of their other songs were covered in the nineties by groups that discovered them. Nirvana, the Foo Fighters, and Sound Garden have all covered Devo songs. Mark Mother's bow rights music for TV shows and commercials.

He has worked on Hui's Playhouse, which we've talked about so much and so much we know and Diva fans are called spuds. Sud Spuds and the band's Mark Ones explained, adding the potatoes represent the dirty, hard workers of the earth. Wow, that's intense, the earth. That's quite a statement. Shell says, you're just okay the vaccination for all those filthy ducks in the South Pond. Lorelae says, oh Rtie Nice. Michelle says, yes, a regular doctor do a little. Doctor Doolittle is a

children's book written in by Hugh Lofting. There have been seven movies, beginning in nineteen sixty seven, and the latest starring the iconic and very handsome Robert Very handsome Dr Doolittle flips his hat in the same way that Robert Downey Jr. Does in Sherlock Holmes. In two thousand nine, Eddie Eddie Murphy, who started Dr Doolittle in UH two thousand one films was actually terrified of live animals. You've mentioned that before, Yes, and several scenes required a large

number of animals to be present on set. Together. There's forty five trainers for all of them. Howard Stern was offered the chance to voice a hamster but turned it down. And Eddie Murphy has ten kids, only ten, only ten? Talking to Rory about Deana being overbearing, lore LIS's honey, you got to ease up on that love posh and you even given him or he's gonna start showing up at David Letterman's house. David Letterman hosted The Late Show at with David Lemon Letterman for thirty three years, at

first at NBC and then at CBS. Um lorea lie is referring to Margaret Mary Ray, a woman suffering from schizophrenia, began stalking David over the following months. Ray broke into Letterman's private tennis court and even stole his Porsche with three year old son and toe. She was with her own kid, right, three year old hit. I forgot all this. I'm not gonna lie this. I forgot all this. Also, the pencils he used his talk show desk. We had a racers at both ends, so no one was injured

when he'd throw them. He never wore the same tie twice, and Food Fighters is his favorite band. Appeared on the final eight show on his last I'm gonna give you props on that pencil tidbit. He liked Food Fighters better than he liked Oasis. He loved Food Fighters. You guys want to know something crazy about the Food Fighters? That literally is like, just happened? Is that? Dave Grohl cannot hear? He's been reading lips for twenty years, he said, can hear?

That's loud? They play loud? I mean he was with Nirvana too, right, and it was like, yeah, your ears goodbye bye. M Yeah, that's sad. Speaking of rock stars, I had a friend in high school, not a friend, acquaintin's who was dating uh, lead singer of Chili Peppers. He has any key this? Yeah, what bring it along? Bring it along alone? Spicy juicy info on the quad. Yeah, we're gonna need to talk all about that. After talk

amongst your smells, I'll have a little lunch. The Letterman did a screen test for the classic nine comedy Airplane. I Love airplane the role of Ted Striker, so did Bill Murray and Chubby Chase, though none of them got it. The role went to Robert Hayes. This man needs to be taken to the hospital. What's a big, tall building with patients. But that's not important right now. Oh, you stepped on my line. Sorry, go go go. I mean we interrupt you all the time, and then I get interrupted,

and it's quite serious. A quick calling or surely like flood AATIR movies. Johnny another has a second cup of coffee at home. Michelle is mad at Lord we're talking to his mom. Michelle says yes, because I tell her nothing. We keep all subjects light and fluffy. We talked about clothes and food and Posh Spice and David Beckham and that is all. Nothing of value, nothing of substance, knew,

he said David Beckham. David David Beckham is the most recognizable and successful soccer superstar in the world, and Victoria Beckham, also known as Posh Spice, was the members of the iconic Spice Girls. She has said at the moment that she laid eyes on David, it was love at first sight, but she was a little bit drunk every female in the world, I mean anyway, Sorry, did I interrupt him? Sorry? No, drunk, she was drunk. Drunk, Yeah, she was a little drunken

in the meeting, was a little bit hazy. Victorian David Beckham were married in nine and are still married with four kids today. Like most of us, during COVID, we picked up a new hobby and David began tending a bee farm that he built and currently their oldest son, Brooklyn Beckham, at twenty one years old, is engaged to Bates Motel star Nicole Pelts at twenty five years old. I fell in love with the first see laid eyes on him. For God's sake, you did? Do you see

him in person? I did? I did see I saw him person a couple of times. Okay, he's a he's a foxy dude. There's no there's no question, there's no question. What do you think, Amy, did you check out David Beckham? And you shut down and shouting down? Oh no, no, no, pardon me. I was just looking up quotes from the movie Airplane. But I I love David Beckham. He is

also beyond nice. He is ridiculously handsome. There is nothing you could say about him that is anything less than five stars, five stars, five stars, very humble guy, very soft spoken, very generous guy. Yeah yeah, teammates loved him. Yeah, he's five starspive stars stars. It's amazing than Matt that man. You go rid of him, you know, if they're ten years They traded him, and I apologize that I couldn't find any more good airplane plane he was he was

butting heads with his manager. No, but the guitar scene down the row of seats an airplane was great. Nice call back. Thank you. Paris's other business ideas, Paris says, did you see the brilliant hose hook idea over the five table five a hook on your belt? That the garden hose. There's a Buster Keaton routine waiting to happen.

Joseph Frank Buster Keaton was an actor and comedian. He's best known for his Silent films, in which his trademark was physical comedy with a consistently stoic, dead panic, silly walk. That's John, that's Monty Python's flying service. He knowingly about that. I don't know fortify years off on that one. It's okay, it's old timey good score good school. Uh. He was nicknamed the great Stone Phase. Buster Keaton has been in about hundreds forty seven films and he was great friends

with Charlie Chaplin. Harry Houdini gave him his nickname Buster after he fell down a flight of stairs at a young age, and believe it or not, Keaton appeared to be the first person in known history to use Buster as his first name. Yeah, Buster Brown, what about Buster Brown? Great point? Did that come later? Yeah? That was? Oh I guess it did. Yeah. I've never laid eyes on Buster Keaton to this very moment. As I have googled his photo, he's he does look like he's doing Blue

Steel and he is in the same league with David Beckham. No, no um at. Buster Keaton's alcoholism became such an issue that he was institutionalized straight jack and all. However, this could not contain Keaton because he'd been taught how to escape out of the street jacket by a family friend, magician Harry Houdini. I'd have to say, if you had to make me pick between Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin without the mustache is kind of a babe.

Oh way, Look that's a babe. Hello, old kick a soccer ball. Beckham still scored a goal. Crushes all these guys competition has he? But right like Charlie Chaplin, sort of a cute dude minus the mustache. That's Charlie Chaplin right there. Yeah, yeah, that's not TikToker hair. Right now, he looks like he looks like he said, he looks like Green Day. If you're sitting at home on your phone, Charlie Chaplin, no mustache, and might just by yourselves a hottie. Yeah,

you might just get your jolly's going. There you go. Finally, interview with The Keaton Chronicle, Um mel Brooks talked about how Keaton influenced his movies, especially in nineteen seventy six Silent Movie, which we talked about in pop culture a couple of weeks ago. Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein, and that's it for your pop culture. Oh there you go. That was a rollicking affair. I wasn't expecting that that was some

interesting information. It really was. Um, all right, I guess we're gonna wrap this puppy up and Riley another fantastic job. This is becoming an institution. Isn't it. I mean, it's like, oh my god, the Smithsonian's gonna call and asked for these microphones at any moment. Hopefully I'm not institutionalized. They might find pop Rocks and Riley's. He'll put you in there. They'll put you in the buster keating room. Maybe yeah, an you think doing the silly wall you guys rock

five guys, it's always great. Enjoyed it. Thank you for downloading. Everybody stays. If you can't generously, because we know you have so many stars, could you spare five the millions of stars you each possess because you are stars. There's no limit on stars on the reviews, so you can give five if we're giving you giggles. Just if let's say you give us if we gave you five giggles. You know, how about a star for giggle says there's no limit, but there's five stars. Isn't the five stars

the limit? Correct? But you could five stars something every day if you want to do anything on podcasts five stars. So it's not like if you give us five stars, you can't get another show five stars. You can. Oh that's interesting, okay, all the stars. Speaking of stars, don't forget where you're going this weekend? Where who Riley is heading to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. You're gonna go, You're gonna spend your weekend in Hollywood. Yeah, you know.
