TV Guidance Counselor
TV Guidance Counselor Saturday Special Edition 3: Lamont Price
(music) Good morning! Happy Saturday everybody! It is not Wednesday as you may have noticed. It is Saturday, which means it's time once again for our third special edition Saturday morning episode. And this week's episode is with one of my favorite comedians and a good friend of mine, Mr. Lamont Price. You may remember from our summer special edition last month. He may be the only person on earth who likes Saturday morning cartoons more than I do. So sit back, grab a bowl of Lucky Charms, and listen to this week's special edition episode of TV Guidance Counselor with Lamont Price. Hey, hey, hey. How's it going? I'm well, I'm well. How are you? It's Saturday, I'm doing very well. It's Saturday morning, we've gotten up, we're watching cartoons. Getting up cereal, getting up cereal, cap and crunch. You're cap and crunch guy? Crunchberries. Do you still do cap and crunch cereal? I haven't bought cap and crunch in a while, but I would. Have you ever had the Captain Crunch, like people will always try and make Captain Crunch recipes, like they'll do Captain Crunch fried chicken? I don't believe in any outside Captain Crunch adventures. Yeah, yeah. I could never get into Captain Crunch as a kid growing up for some reason. It was it was just too sweet for me. What was your cereal? My cereal was corn pops. See, again, you're like a 30-year-old 10-year-old. That's a very, actually no pops is pretty sweet. No, pops was a was a sweet. It was it was like that. I gotta have my pops. Yeah, I always like the one that goes gotta get pops. Yeah, gotta get pops. Yeah, that weight, that beat. I didn't eat those, but like so I did Captain Crunch. That was my, but I would also do man. Yeah, but listen, I'm just on the strong. Fair enough. I would do Cookie Crisp. Okay, yeah. I would do that. I would do pretty pebbles. Did you ever have any of the Cookie Crisp rip-offs, like ice cream cones? No, but I remember those, but I didn't have those. Like I didn't do Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I didn't do. Oh, I loved Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Yeah, I was like a Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Honey Nut Cheerios, corn pop sky, like real simple. Real simple. I had a cousin, an older cousin that would eat 100% natural. Oh, no. And that was the first adult cereal I tried to eat. My first adult cereal was basic four. Love it. I don't even remember. And Raisin Nut Brand. Raisin Nut Brand. And then it was one time I tried to be super adult and I begged my mother to get me. Not great notes. Yes. Great notes. The worst. Because. Because. The ads. I love grapes. Yep. And I love nuts. It's nothing like either. And it's nothing. No. That was the most deceptive campaign for a kid. It's like sour road grit. Basically. Yeah. It's like you put it together and you get window sill chairs. Yeah. My neighbors growing up. So when I was in elementary school, I would in hindsight, this is crazy. But I would walk to school by myself as a four or five year old. But I would walk and meet my other neighbors who were in the class with me. And we'd all walk down as a group. But my house was the furthest on the street. So I would always be first. Right. And I got up very early. I almost never slept as a kid. I slept about two hours a night until I was about 22. So I would be up at like four or five in the morning. So I would walk to this kid Charlie's house, excuse the next one down. And his parents would be getting ready for work. His dad would be sitting at the table. And I remember he would always eat great nuts with water instead of milk. And I would sit there and I would read the paper while this kid was getting ready for school. I'd sit at their breakfast table and read the paper and watch the news with their dad. Because no one was up in my house. My dad went to work at four in the morning. And my mother didn't get up. I would make her coffee. So I'd put her coffee on and she'd get up and have it. Coffee. Coffee. Yeah. I'd make her coffee. So I wouldn't you'd see her. She'd she'd get up and have her coffee after I left. And I'd go and read the paper at this people's house while he's eating great nuts, which in hindsight is meant to me. Imagine a four or five year old coming over your house and sitting down just grabbing the paper. Would you have it like full on? Oh, yeah. The bro. In with the covering your head. Like you're the dad. Yeah. But I would grab the comics section or the entertainment section to do that and be like, Oh, interesting. Yeah. Good. Like Gus Charlie Brown on the outside. Robot man doing today robot or robot man under a comic strip. Under ready comic strip. Bro man's gone. I think in his place is the rope his buddy. Yeah. Monty. Yeah. Monty. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. That's what I would do. But that's so he would always eat crib nuts. So I was like, yeah, it's like pretty good. They're so good. He doesn't even need milk. He's using them with water. And one time my dad did buy them and they were expensive. They came in a little box and he cried. Yeah. It was like post right. Yeah, post. It was like 699 or something for this little box. And we had that box of great nuts for like eight years. No one, no one would eat it. It was the worst. I did something crazy with great nuts. I got a box. I was like, okay. I want to make myself a bowl of great nuts. Yeah. I'll be super dull about it. And for some reason I decided to eat my great nuts. Hot. Well, it took a bath. Oh, well, you took a bath. I got the bath. That is the bullshit. What were you? Nine maybe. Yeah. That is living the life. Yeah. And I was like, this is what adults would do. Sit in the bath with the great nuts. Yeah. That was the first bowl of great nuts that I ever had. I got the great nuts. I'm going to be all mature. Did you just power through them? Oh, really? I think halfway through I realized this was a bad idea. Yeah. Yeah. And I kind of limped out of the tub. Yeah. Oh, man. I like that. I like the idea of eating cereal in the bathroom. In the tub. Just you should revisit that. If you revisited that and you need to. I don't think it's Lucky Charms. I'm not a marshmallow guy. You don't like marshmallows. I hate marshmallows. And I definitely don't like fake marshmallows. Yeah. So. On Amazon, you can buy bags of just Lucky Charms marshmallows. And they sell well. But and they're not that much either because you know, they're mostly styrofoam or whatever. Yeah. I marshmallows s'mores. You don't like s'mores? I don't like marshmallows, man. Oh my God. No peeps. No. No. Anything with marshmallows? I feel sad for you. Fluff. Mm-mm. Oh, you're not a fluff another? You're not a true new Englander. Marshmallows, dude. You like peanut butter? I like peanut butter. You gotta be chunky, though. Yeah. Skippy. All you gotta do is the chunky. I'm a skippy guy. We're a skippy family. We didn't trust Jiffy. What about Peter Pan? We didn't trust the Superman? We were skippy. They were skippy. See, I had no brand loyalty. I still don't because my dad was very much like military. Right. Uh, he actually, he started a cleaning company called Mill Spec from military specifications for a while. And he was like, it was a part-time job. And he was like, we'll come into your house and we'll clean it to military specifications. And he had business cards. You know, you know, that was a secret agent, right? You know, I don't think you're real. I don't think it's a secret agent. My uncle was special forces. But so my dad, he would have a budget for food shopping every week. I was like, you know, whatever it was, $60, $100, whatever the budget was. And he had to spend that budget. It was like, he acted like it was a federal budget. Like if he didn't spend it, he wouldn't get it. He would lose it. Yeah. So he had his list of stuff. He'd go down up and down every aisle. And once he got the list of stuff, say a $100 budget and he only spent 60 bucks. He's like, we got this other $40. So then he would just buy whatever was on sale. So we got whatever. If it was Skippy Peanut Butter for his Teddy Peanut Butter, it was on sale. I love Teddy Peanut Butter, which is local to Boston because we used to get wick when I was growing up. I remember that. Which is women, infant and children. I don't know if it's local to Massachusetts, it might be federal program, but it's basically it's free government. I remember getting that. Yeah. And they would give us these paint buckets of Teddy Peanut Butter, like just huge gallon tubs. We had so many of those because we'd keep them and use them for like toys and blocks or whatever. But we had tons and tons of these Teddy Peanut Butter. But so yeah, we would get whatever product they were pushing that week that was on sale. We'd get whatever the hip cereal was like strawberry, shortcake cereal, whatever because it's on sale. Like the designer. Yeah, cereals. Yeah, whatever it was. It was always Ralph's dinner. It was always bad because my dad would just had to spend his budget. So I had no brand loyalty whatsoever, but I got exposed to much. So you like me or a fan of excess? Yes, absolutely. I still am. Yes. I still am. We had pizza before this podcast. This is four of us here. I ordered four pizzas. Yes. And it calzones. And it calzones and hindsight. A little bit ridiculous. Yeah. Yeah. I understand. So I do it. I understand your mind. I've eaten pizza in the bathtub. You don't want to hate about being an adult. I'm semi tall. You're taller than me. What are you? Six, five? Six, one? Six, one? Yeah. You're taller. I thought you were taller than I. I'll tell you. Six, three. No, I'm not tall. Maybe I'm taller than you. You seem taller than me. But I can't, I can't take a bath anymore. There's no baths that are comfortably. Like, you need to stick out. Right. I'm a shower guy. I've been shower guy for years. Oh, I love showers. I wouldn't take a bath to get clean. I'd take a bath. Just take a bath. I used to take, when I was a kid, I would take so many baths. My mom would be like, well, my listen, because I'd be in the bathtub for eight. It's great. Long time. Yeah. Yeah. Would you put like out all crony and stuff, you know what I mean? My mom would be like, well, my because my mom had a hard time policing that because she didn't want to discourage baths. Yeah, baths are good. But she also was like, listen, I need to get in the bathroom. Yeah, like what you're going to do be like, you're reading too many books. You mean, you know, it's a good, yeah, I would fall asleep in the shower a lot. Because I had a, I had a weird, I don't know if it was a neurological or what, but I had a weird thing where I didn't sleep more than two hours a night for decades. So sometimes I would just fall asleep. And I would, in the morning, this was more of a middle school thing. I would get up at like five, five 30, I would get in the shower, especially in the winter, where it was so cold and the shower was all nice and warm. And I'd wake up just curled up in a ball in the forest shower. Like I would have just been like, oh, it's so nice, water bed. And I would, I would have been asleep for like an hour. I don't know how I didn't drown. I fall asleep in a tub. Yeah. I don't know how I didn't drown. I'd always do it. I take a nap. I would plan my naps in the tub. Didn't you see number Elm Street? Yep. And that didn't teach you the lesson of not sleeping in the tub. I wasn't scared of that, dude. Yeah. I was less scared of him than I was Jason. Fair enough. Fair enough. Yeah. You could, you could. I feel like I could take Freddy Krueger. Well, you can, I feel like you could reason with him. Yeah, he's talking to me. Yeah, he talks to me some time. Yeah, exactly. Jason's just coming. So it's Saturday morning. You picked September 23rd, 1989. Yes. You're 10 years old? Yes. Okay. So this was prime cartoon watching time for you. Now, now, and I September specifically because I loved the, I loved when networks would take all sort of the kids from each sitcom and put them on a preview show. A prime time preview show. That was prime program. Appointment television. Yes. That was a big deal. That was the presidential address. That was state of the union. Yeah. You had to watch. Oh, the kids from full house and family members are getting together to promote the side. Yeah. You had to watch it. And the other thing was it would always be the Friday before the cartoons premiered. Yes. So Friday night and the crazy thing. And I'd say this is nuts. That was the first time you'd hear what the cartoons were going to be. Yeah. The night before they premiered, you would have no idea what they were going to be until the night before. So you're waiting all summer and it was a good thing to look forward to because the summer ended. You bumped out and you have this to look forward to the new cartoon. That was the kid's version of the NFL draft. Okay. I would argue it's way better than the other. Well, what I'm saying is for kids, that was it. That was the most important thing. I would, and I don't have any statistics to back this up, but I would imagine every single kid in America, watch those. It was no kid that didn't watch it. They had it. They would let kids out of juvenile hall. There were kids in comas that they'd give them a shot of some kind of adrenaline. Wake them up for that 30 minutes. Yeah. It was amazing. So yeah, September, you're excited for the new shows, but you're getting up early. You're getting up at 5 a.m. Now the TV got I was pouring through. This was Chicago. Well, the Chicago TV got. So it was a little off from what I are being from Boston. Right. And I'd wake up early. And if I missed these two shows, I'd be pissed. The first one being 5 a.m. I mean, my Saturday morning started early. Yeah. Mind it too. Captain Bob. Yeah. Okay. At 5 a.m. WCVB. I never even attempted to draw or paint what he was painting. Draw what he was drawing. I never tried. Yeah. I was captivated by the theme song. Yep. I was captivated by that shot of the boat. Yep. On the dock. And the that whole thing. Yeah. And he, you know, he's he had a soft. Yep. For people of voice. Not from Boston. Captain Bob was a 60s and 70s produced local show produced by our ABC affiliate WCVB TV5. And it was an old man, sea captain, teaching you how to draw pictures of animals. The kind of show that they would never allow kids to watch today. Never. Never. He was probably 65 years old. And he would use craypaws. I remember it was always craypaws and chuckles. And he would draw like a rainbow trout or something. And it was amazing. Oh, it's very, very good. I used to follow along. I used to draw along with it. And then I would send my drawings in, which was ridiculous because the show hadn't been made for about 20 years. There must have been some guy at that station just throwing away children's drawings. Got another goddamn rainbow trout. I guess it's a tiger. I don't know. Yeah. So that was on a five. And I definitely watched that as well. Absolutely. I would sit there. Sometimes I would get up before five o'clock. And I would sit there and watch the friggin test pattern with a like just looking at the clock waiting for the TV to come on. That was also a thing, a huge fan. So I always watched that. There was a show called the magic, not the magic school bus, the storymobile, which was about a bookmobile. It was also local. I just think I remember that. I'd have to see clips of it though. Weirdly watch this show. This was strange because I was not a sportsman. There was a 70s show called the baseball bunch. Oh, San Diego. That was in and the the the catcher there for the not Yogi Berra. Johnny Bench Johnny Bench. Yeah. Yes. I remember that. I remember that show. Watch the every week. I had no interest in baseball. Watch it all the time. At the time I didn't care about baseball, but I always watched it. This is obviously a good trick and stuff. I think you still around. I have no idea. I wouldn't know. And I watched that. And then I watched what you watched at 5 30. Jabberwock. Jabberwocky. Never miss Jabberwocky. One of my all time favorite theme songs. Doo doo doo doo doo. The brothers and sisters. Doo doo doo doo doo. I loved it. Maybe the most 70s show I can think of. Oh yeah. Afro's T. You say everything. Again, another local production produced by Channel 5. The main woman in it was Jill Beth Williams from Poltergeist. It was the first thing she did. And it was a show where it was one of those things where you have puppets and kids and in a couple of like young people living in like a clubhouse and teaching you about things. It was that one main puppet named dirty Frank. Oh, dirty Frank. Yes. Dirty Frank who was gross. Yeah. It had a very pedophile kind of way about him. That's fine. And another show or another character that would not be allowed on television and the kids today are pussies. Yeah, you couldn't have dirty Frank on there. You couldn't have a dirty Frank. Yeah. And he'd make all kinds of sounds and if you let oh yeah. Yeah. Do it. Yeah. Oh, dirty Frank was the best. And the Jabberwocky itself was pretty gross. It looked like an old moth-eaten rug sample with a big, huge nose. And he was all like, he was kind of like Wolfman Jack if I remember. He was all like, yeah, beeping and mopping. Like he was kind of like a weird 60s. He was really captain caveman. Oh, that was a little good. Yeah. So I'm definitely in for those 6 a.m. What are you going with? All right. Now here's where I had to really think about it because again, that TV guide. So now I know it kept it local at that time. And I think there was a cartoon. And it's not listed in here. So I would assume it was local to us or I don't think it was made local, but I think we just had it. Right. It's called the Baba Pappas. I don't know, Baba Pappas. Baba Pappas was like a family of gelatinous. They're like, oh, like schmooze. They can form into things. Yeah. Yeah. They were weird shaped. They kind of, they were kind of shaped like bowling pins. Yeah. And then they can form it. Yeah. Yeah. Pretty much like those. Yeah, glipping glip. Yeah. And I don't know if people know about Baba Pappas. Yeah. So obscure, Baba Pappas must be. I've tried to find episodes on YouTube, right? Yeah. And I have found episodes on YouTube. Okay. But the problem is none of them are in English. Okay. They're all in Spanish or French. So maybe you could you possibly have been watching it on the Spanish channel? There's no way. There's no way. There's no way, dude. There's no way. I am telling you it was like WTVB. All right. I'll look into it. I don't know anything about Baba Pappas. If people know about Baba Pappas, please email me at kennedy.com. I will pass it on to them all. It was a long time before I smoked weed. So there was no way I thought I saw it. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I would have been watching a show called Dr. Fad. I don't know if you remember this show. This was hosted by a guy who went by the name Dr. Fad. He was a Japanese guy. And it was a show about kids inventions. And he was famous for having invented the Wacky Wall Walker, which was a piece of plastic that looked. I think it would come down. It looked like a spider. Yes. The piece of rubber. It was often a throw it against the wall. And it would walk down the wall. Yes. It was it was often a prize in Captain Crunch. Actually, it was a huge serial prize to Wacky Wall Walkers. And he invented them. And for a short period of time, those things were huge. And so he had his own show called Dr. Fad. And the theme song was terrible. It just went. Dr. Fad. Dr. Fad. Just over and over again. He had a sweater that had hundreds of Wacky Wall Walkers all over it. He was very uncharitismatic. And the premise of the show was that kids would go on with their inventions. And it was a competition with their inventions. And the announcer was again, Jim Fife, who later went on to be on an HBO series called Encyclopedia, which was very, very funny. But I watched it every week. Kids inventors. I wanted to be on it. I was always submitting inventions. There's clips of it on YouTube. Definitely check out Dr. Fad. It's very 1989. It's very, very fun. And kids are awful on TV. They're nervous. They can't speak. They're stammering and stuttering. They have terrible inventions. It's great. It's great. I'd have to check that out. Yeah, it was I always associated with another show called Steampunk Alley that was hosted by Mario Cantone. And it was from WPIX in New York. And it was a kids show that was Mario Cantone from Sona Mass. Very, very weird kids show that it was Dr. Fad and Mario Cantone's Steampunk Alley had a very similar visual aesthetic. So $6.30 What are you going with? All right. Now, this is a weird time because again, I could have very well been in the local mode, right? But I just remembered Bob, Bob, Bob is. Yeah. And so that TV guy wouldn't help me here, because I didn't really get into the network stuff until say 8 a.m. Yeah. So according to that, it tells me that Alf was on. Yeah. And the Archie's or something. So I felt like I would have watched that. Yeah. These are reruns of the Alf Cartoon, not Alf Tales, the animated series, which took place on Mel Mac. On Mel Mac. Yeah. Alf Cartoon. In Shumway. In Shumway. Yeah, I'm definitely watching Dr. Fad. There is a show on Nickelodeon, which I've never heard of before, but I'm somewhat intrigued by called on the on at the same time as Dr. Fad, weirdly called Dr. Snuggles. Now, I wonder, is it some weird thing they made up or they made it up, of course, or is it Snuggles from the ads? The ad snuggles like he's stolen on advice. They're like, look, it's just like Dr. Ruth, but with snuggles. But with snuggles. Yeah. I'd watch that. I don't think it was that I'd like to find out what Dr. Snuggles is. So we move on to 7 a.m., which in Chicago time is 8 a.m., this is when the networks kick on. Okay. So what I'm thinking immediately is, so we're going to go with it as it's 8 a.m. then. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, all right. Because I had a lot of, I jumped a lot of things on that. 8 a.m., more often than not, according to that. See, here's what I'm confused. Because I got thrown off by that time. And in Chicago, Captain in the Game Master would be on. At 8 a.m., correct. But that's a 9 a.m., but that's 9 a.m., show here. So I would watch that. But Outtales was on. So let's just say with that, I'd watch Outtales. So 7 a.m. Chicago times, 8 a.m., East Coast time, going with Outtales, you're continuing the Outtales. Outtales annoyed me. For some reason, I would get mad when they would mess with fairy tales. And I love fractured fairy tales on the underdog show. And underdog, I loved all the Jay Ward stuff, like Bullwinkle. And they would do, to me, even as a kid, as 9, 10 years old, that was Mr. Peabody. Mr. Peabody, that was the definitive take on fairy tales. Abracadabra, changerangery. Exactly. If I recite these words just right, what one would I be? Those shows are still really funny. They're great. And they're hilarious and so inventive and weird. And when I would see anyone else as a cartoon try to do a take on a fairy tale, I would just be like, Bullshit. No. Yeah. Fresh fairy tales is great. That narrator, whoever he was, awesome. Yeah, yeah. Colonel McBrag. Colonel McBrag. Colonel McBrag, that's right. Yeah. I was, I was searching this house to see you. I love Colonel McBrag. I was surrounded by culprits. Those shows, a lot of my sense of humor and timing and all that stuff I learned from those shows. I mean, they're, his, his, his, Butler was, yeah, the, was the gym. Oh, he does. Oh, Commander. Yeah. What did you do? Thinking quickly, I turned my belt into a machine gun, yes, judging myself out of the situation and back home safely. Fantastic show. If that was a, that was some story, Commander. Quite. Amazing show. I, if people... Amanda McBrag is amazing. Take two days off from work and just, just watch all of them. Just four through command and McBrag's. They're hilarious. Do you know what? Check out Tennessee tuxedos. Yes. All, all the stuff is great. Yeah. All the stuff is great. Amazing. So, I understand that you would have watched off-tails. However, I'm dealing with a pup named Scooby-Doo. See? Don't... Scooby-Doo. Uh, that's where I got confused because if you look at my list here, that was 8 a.m. That's an 8 a.m. Boston gym. Right. Yeah. So, why don't we just go to 8 a.m. Okay. Because I would have watched that. Pup named Scooby-Doo. Pup named Scooby-Doo. I know I was watching it. It was a great show. Now, I do not like the sort of babifurcation of classic shows, and this was huge in the 80s. Yeah, I, but I was gonna say it, I dug it for that reason. I like Flintstone Kids. Oh. Potato Head Kids. I didn't watch that one. Pink Panther and Sons? Uh, I wasn't ever a big Pink Panther fan. Yeah. I didn't care about a dude that didn't talk. Captain Caveman and Son? I like Captain Caveman. Captain Caveman! And Son? Yeah. So much that I found annoying. I hated Flintstone Kids. Love Muppet Babies. In fact, I got like Muppet Babies better than I like the Muppets. Uh, I'm gonna say. I won't argue with that. Muppet Babies is great. Well, but actually that's coming. So, Pup named Scooby-Doo was amazing. And a lot of the people that worked on that show went on to create Tiny Tunes, Animaniacs, Batman, the animated series, Paul Deany worked on Pup named Scooby-Doo, I believe, Bruce Tim, all these people that worked on that show. And the great thing about that show was it was the first kids show I remember that sort of commented on the history of the show itself. Right. So they would sort of use the conventions and trappings of classic Scooby-Doo's to set your expectations and then flip them and then comment on the sort of setting themselves up. Yes, but in a loving, uh, waking way. And it was really smart and funny in a fun show. And that show holds up. Those are out on DVD. Highly recommend people. I love that Freddie as a kid still had the ask out going on. Yes. And he's obsessed with traps. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. My favorite, real quick though, my favorite Scooby-Doo incarnation is 13 Ghosts. Yes. Vincent Van Gogh. I felt like that was the best theme song. Oh, absolutely. And all that. And it was the only Scooby-Doo until recently with the new series, which is actually very, very good. The only Scooby-Doo series that had actual supernatural elements to it. The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo, they were hunting actual ghosts because in the wake of Ghostbusters, they had an thriller actually. Right. Which is why they got, no more people in sheets. Yeah. It was real ghosts. 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo is great. It's my favorite. It's Vincent. You know, it's it's Vincent. It's Vincent Price. You can't go wrong if it's a price on a cartoon. That's true. Yeah. Some definitely going with that. What are you going with at 730? 730, which is 830 in this camp candy. Loved candy. I never miss camp candy. Camp candy with me. I loved camp candy. There was a really strange phenomenon. I don't know how John Candy, I know he was big in that time. Yeah. But to give him a cartoon, it didn't seem. Here's the weird thing. There were at least three SCTV alum who had their own cartoon. Okay, John Candy. Yeah, with camp candy. Was Rick Moranis. Rick Moranis was grave deal high. Oh, he was. That was him. Yeah. And then Martin Short had the completely mental. Hey, Gremlin. Hey, Gremlin. Which is great. Amazing show. Hey, Gremlin. He's almost like a lost season of SCTV. It had all the writers from SCTV. Most of the cast Joe Flaherty was playing Count Floyd on it and live action segments. If you like SCTV and you haven't seen the completely mental misadventures of Ed Gremlin, you are missing out on sort of a lost season of SCTV. Amazing cartoon. Really good cartoon. So for some weird reason, three cast members of SCTV had their own cartoons, two of which had their names in the title. Very, very strange. Rick Moranis and grave deal high. Camp candy. I love camp candy. Camp candy is great. Probably the weakest of those three shows, but a good show. I don't, but like the premise though, like where did they come up with that? Was it like a movie he tried to pitch? I don't know. He never, the closest thing he had was the great outdoors. What did they just throw like, hey, do you want to put your voice on this? Yeah, I assume that was probably the name recognition. Name recognition. Yeah, probably. I mean, he voiced himself. Yeah, he was himself. Right. Yeah. And Howie Mandel at Bobby's World. There was a lot of that. Bobby's World. Bobby's World. Bobby's World. Bobby's World. Bobby's World. Fox had a very good Saturday morning block at like 92, 93. Tack of killer tomatoes. Tender, terrible thunder lizard. Tender lizard. The tic, eat the cat. Eat the cat. Yeah. What should have come on at night? Yeah. It was bad. It should have been a night time show. Savage Steve Holland. Yes. That, uh, that cartoon is brilliant. Even the cat was brilliant. The tic is as well. The tic is very funny. Tic is very good. So what are we going with at eight o'clock A.K. Nine o'clock East Coast? All right. Eight o'clock A.K. So they bring us back to the captain and captain and the game master captain and the game master which you know for a kid who, uh, love Nintendo video games. Yes. I mean, it's basically the words that are vods for Nintendo. Yeah. I love that they, I love the fact it was one of those cartoons that blew your mind as a kid because all the video games you loved were in one cartoon. Right. So you just like, oh it's Simon Belmont. Yeah. Castlevania. It's King Hippo. It's Mega Man. Kid Icarus. All these guys. Yeah. Yeah. Amazing show. Uh, even though at the time I recognized that it was just a huge commercial. I didn't recognize it at the time. I did but I didn't care. Now thinking back on it, I know that all, all the most cartoons were just commercials. But that one was a little, that was like, oh yeah. Yeah. I know people like prices. Yeah. I know people have done this and you can, I think buy costumes but I would love to dress up like captain and the game master for Halloween one year. I just, I couldn't do it because I'm like, it's, it's just been done. And it was one of those sucked into the TV cartoon. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. Which happened very frequently on cartoons apparently. Sucked into a mirror, sucked into the TV. I used to think that, uh, if I, if I try hard, like when you get a, the toy paper, yeah, in a Sunday morning paper, I used to think that if I cut just right, the top of the paper, you could get in there. I could empty out all the toys. And then when you turned 22, you realized that was, yeah. That's not a bad theory. You know what I used to do all the time was, uh, do you remember like Columbia House and BMG, they would have those services where you could get CDs and stuff, but they also had ones where you could get videos and they'd send you this sheet. It was basically a big sheet of stamps and each stamp was a different movie and you licked the back and you stuck the movies you wanted to the sheet and sent it out. I would collect those from everyone that got them. They'd come in the paper and then I would draw video stores and I would line up all the movies on the shelves in the genres where they, where I would lay out this video store. Yeah. Didn't have a lot of friends a month. No, listen, I understand that, early porn for me was my dad used to get those electronics magazines. Yeah. And when he was done with them, he'd be like, hey, I have them, you know, popular science and stuff or like that, like the catalog equipment. Okay. Yeah. That kind of stuff. Was he a big, was he a big stereo equipment guy? Yeah, he was. It was a tinkerer. I mean, my dad was soldering iron? I don't know. He was like a jazz, you know, so he always was like, listen to how this sounds on this. You got you can have a kid. He's an audio file. Yeah. Like I was only kidding. Like in sixth grade, who knew who Billy Holiday was off the first note. But at hindsight, you probably appreciate that. I do. Yeah. I'm a big jazz fan. Yeah. So, you know, at the time, you're probably like, at the time, I was like, yeah, that's really awesome. And James and my friends would make fun. Yeah. Like, how do you know? Like dad, can't you just be in the third base? Seriously. Yeah. Prime Minister Pete Knight. Yeah. He's now a baseball historian. Really? Yep. Um, so my dad would give me old, old electronic specs that he was done with. And I remember one day I'm flipping through one of them and we were about to go out to like McDonald's or something. And those, those, you could buy the videotapes. Yeah. They had that cattle out there. And then I noticed that there was a, that was like a rip hair tab that he didn't bother to rip. Yeah. And I ripped it open. All adults. And it was all adult. Yeah. And he didn't know he gave that to me. And it was like finding fucking, how old were you? Plutonium. At the time, 11, maybe most kids had to go dig in the woods for that kind of thing. Yeah. Well, I mean, I had to dig in the woods for the real stuff. Yeah. But that was one of my first dumping that stuff in the woods. Teenagers? Yeah, of course. We had, I remember we had a huge wood area between my house and the next house in my neighborhood. And in the middle of the woods, there was a big pit. Like someone had dug a big hole and they had dumped an old furnace in there. Like a big round furnace that ended up being kind of like a bridge across this hole. And we run across this old furnace. But on the sides of the furnace was basically a moat of 70s porno magazines, which is really weird. And kids would fall into them. Like we would do sort of actually before American gladiators, we would have like jousting tournaments on this. This is so dangerous in hindsight. We would have jousting tournaments on top of a rusty old 1940s furnace. And you would fall into a pile of dirty, gross old porno magazines. I'm pretty sure I could sell that show to a network now as a game show. I didn't have woods growing up, but I was lucky in that I had like one of my uncles. When I was a kid, he was like still in his early 20s or something. And he lived with my grandmother. And his room was like the fun room. Like a drum said, he had video games in there. Like it was the best place to be. So if I were over, if I was over there, he'd go out, he'd go, Hey man, let's have at it. So I go through all the stuff. And he had a pile of sports magazines, and I illustrated, it was illustrated inside sports, like all this stuff. And I'd read, I'd go through all of them. And I think I might have been eight years old at this time. And I get to the middle. Okay. And he doesn't understand how determined I was just read his magazines. And it's all porno after all. Yeah, I'm stuck in the middle thinking you wouldn't get that fun. Right. I mean, I don't think he even thought like he just doesn't keep them. You know, and he doesn't think like if he even if he does read, he's not going to go through that. No, no, you can't read that fast. Nope, I was flipping through him. And that was, that was a really huge experience for me, because it was real. I felt it. I mean, my dad, my dad had a subscription to Playboy, which I knew about. And he kept them in my mother's hope chest. But I never went through them because I was like, I don't care. Like he would sit and read it on the couch, like outwardly. And I remember. Yeah. And I remember there was an article in a Playboy magazine about underground comics. And he's underwear, he'd be in his underwear. Yeah, no, just reading it, sitting on the couch. Yeah, you don't open it up when it came to the news and you're in the mail and you read it. And so there was an article I kind of saw over shoulder about underground comics in the new comics in an article about Frank Miller's Dark Knight and Watchmen. Because I saw, I took from across the room, I recognized the covers of those comics. So I was maybe eight or nine, maybe, maybe you're in that seven. So I went through it like a week later through the hope chest looking for that issue to try and find the article about comic books. And I'm like flipping there, I'm like, boobs, boobs, boobs, boobs. And it took me so long, I finally found it. And I literally went through my dad's Playboy's to read an article. That's fucking hilarious. That's pretty ridiculous. You got to do that on stage. Maybe. Well, actually do that. Yeah, it was a good article. Yeah, you should actually bring the hope chest in. Yeah. And go through the playboys. Yeah, it was a good article. I've since 89, Brandy Bland. Who was in here? I've since purchased that issue and have that article. There's actually some really great articles in there. And I also remember when I was looking through the magazines trying to find the comic book article, I found an article written by John Waters that was an interview with Little Richard. That's one of the best pieces of journalism I've ever read. It's like eight pages of this great, great article about Little Richard. And I read that and I was a Little Richard fan for life. I knew of John Waters from Night Flight and which is why I kind of stopped at the article. But it was such a good article. I reread it knowing my dad would be home soon. And I was like, oh, I hope I don't get caught before I finish rereading this article. John Waters wrote about Little Richard and this Playboy. I'm reading the articles bad. I really was. I really, I honestly was reading the article. He'd probably be more mad at me for that than if I was looking at the boobs. You're gonna pass by these tattoos? Yeah, exactly. So where are we at here? We're at 9am. We are at 9am. We were talking about Captain and somehow got into porn. Oh, yeah. That happens. I'm surprised they haven't done enough adult parody of Captain and the Game Master. I feel like it'd be a big audience for that. And it was a sometimes I would I would watch down our writers. Okay. But I wasn't, yeah, I wasn't into it. I was just like, I think that I I felt like that was a kid that didn't live up to his potential. Yeah. And I'm like, I would watch just to see if they figured it out. It was like a boring sector. Yeah. Oh my god. So exactly. So we're going to Captain and the Game Master. I think I would have gone with that as well. Your next pick. All right. So now we're at 830, which is 930. And that would lead me to actually, no, are we at 9am? Where are we at? We're at 930. We're at. Okay, close. Coast Time 930. All right. So East Coast Time 930. Muppet Babies was on. And we were talking about that earlier. Big Muppet Babies fan. Yeah, it's great show. One of the best theme songs of all time. Yeah. The opening note is that chick just belting out that note. Yeah. I mean, that they put love into theme songs back there. Oh, yeah. But that show had a that was just a really smart show. Yes. Yeah. Did they ever explain what happened to skater? No, I so I did talk about this on stage before. I didn't really understand the chronology. Right. And I didn't know Muppet Babies came after Muppets because they would add them in syndication at the same time. So I thought they all murdered skater. I really they're saying that Muppet Babies came after Muppets. Well, in real life, it did. In real life, it did. Yeah. But I'm just talking about right. But I'm saying, obviously they were babies. Yeah, they created her for the Muppet Babies. Right. They never felt they need to explain what happened to her as an adult. So there should be some fan fiction about what happened to her. She became a hooker. I'm sure they murdered her or she was murdered. Yeah. Something going on with her. Scooter took her out. Yeah. Something like that. So yeah, Muppet Babies would have gone, but it's up against Peewee's Playhouse. See, this was a weird hour for me because it's up against Peewee's Playhouse. And it's also up against Slimer in the real Ghostbusters. See, once Slimer came, once they changed his name to Slimer in the real Ghostbusters, I was out because he became all Michael Jackson. Yeah. Well, the earlier real Ghostbusters episodes, Jay Michaels, Trisinski was writing for that show, had some really scary episodes. It's very good. That's stuff with Sam Hain. Sam Hain, the boogeyman, one of the greeliest episodes. Yeah. It was fabulous. Mrs. Fabrishum. Yes. Very scary, very well written, great voice cast. Well, it's up today, absolutely does. And once they switched it over to Slimer in the real Ghostbusters, they had a new animation company. The animation was cheaper. The voices got recast of Dave Cooley. But what they did do is they did keep the regular style Ghostbusters, and they had a block for that cheesy Slimer version, which I hated with the pizza guy. It wasn't the same. I couldn't watch it. I was always going with PBS Playhouse, even over Muppet Babies. And I'll tell you why. Muppet Babies was on at this point seven days a week. Right. That's true. So every day before school, so I'd get my fix. And then period was only on once a week. And I love PBS Playhouse. That was one that was another one that we just were enthralled by. It's amazing. It was funny. Word of the day. Yeah. Was it Lawrence Frischburn, Larry Frischburn? Cowboy Curtis. Cowboy Curtis. Yeah. Great cast. Really funny, weird. The aesthetic of that show was amazing. It adopted all of these underground punk rock LA artists. We're doing the designs for that show, which was amazing. Rob Zombie worked on that show. Oh, really? Okay. Just pulling back from Ed Big Daddy Roth designs, and then all the different styles of, you know, animation, you'd have stop-motion animation, you'd have cutouts, and there'd be cartoons. And I love that show. It was like Nightfly in a half hour for kids. It was a show. As a kid, I was always fascinated by a show or a movie that when I watched it, I felt like I was getting away with something. Yes. And also getting to playhouse. It was. Yeah. Yeah. And showing those old fireworks cartoons from the 30s when the King of cartoons would come in. Yep. Who was played by Blackula himself. Oh, that's who that was. Yes, it is. This is why you're my nostalgia hero, because I wouldn't ever even think about that stuff. Yeah. It's Blackula. He's the King of cartoons, which is crazy. Just a really fun- I was Blackula last year for Halloween, everybody. Nice. Nice. And Phil Hartman was on it. Yep. I mean, it was great. Great show. So at 9 a.m. Chicago time, AKA 10 a.m. East Coast time. What are you going with? Okay. So PBS Playhouse was still on because that was that hour block. Yeah. But if we go to 1030, Garfield and friends. Love Garfield. Garfield and friends. Yeah. CBS was my station. I was always an NBC cartoon fan in the 80s, but around 89, 90 CBS started to. CBS had some good stuff. I was in the late 80s. I was partial to ABC, but CBS definitely came on strong. See, the late 80s, CBS got way too Disney for me. You had gummy bears. You mean ABC got way. ABC got sort of funny. You had gummy bears. You had the wuzzles. We had the wuzzles. Oh, yeah. 2000 fun. That's what that was when they had. They had a million cartoons with animals that could combine with other animals. It was the wuzzles. There was the papples with shirt tails. Shirt tails was animals. They had all that stuff. The littles. Littles. You never stopped the littles. Littles. Don't stop. We were like rat people. That was based on a series of books. They lived in a wall. Yeah. They were basically mouse people. Yeah. Yeah. I couldn't have. I couldn't have gone with that. ABC just something about it rubbed me the wrong way. CBS. You had Pee Wee. You had the Teen Wolf Cartoon Galaxy High. Man out the stuff. The night. Muppet baby. Yeah. I mean, it was amazing. It was amazing. So I'm going with that. What's your next pick? All right. So now we're at 11 a.m. Things are winding down. Bugs and Tweety Hour. I'm going with Beetlejuice. Okay. Now Beetlejuice, I'll give you your Muppet baby's argument. Beetlejuice was on five days a week. It was. But here's the thing. It was a different series. They had a syndicate. Kind of like Doug. Yes. Kind of like Doug. It was a syndicated five days a week version and then the Saturday morning version which was slightly different. Okay. Also the same thing, there was a Spider-Man cartoon and Spider-Man is amazing friends. Right. One was a weekday syndication. The Saturday morning was amazing friends, which I love. And they were. Amazing friends. Amazing friends was great. Yeah. It was a lot of amazing friends. Yeah. So yeah, I'm going with Beetlejuice. Your next pick. All right. Now at 1130, say about a bell. I will not go for say about the bell yet. I am tuning in to a show that was terrible. Admittedly terrible. But I was a little bit obsessed with this show because of the aesthetic. So I love the 80s sort of West Coastness of this show. And it's Rude Dog in the Dweeb. Rude Dog in the Dweeb. The cartoon I remember but never watched. It was based on a t-shirt. It was literally based on a t-shirt line. So in the late 80s, Rude Dog clothes were like TNC surf. She wasn't just a t-shirt. But you know, I'm like bum equipment and that sort of stuff. Rude Dog in the Dweeb is just based on that. Watch that. It was great. It looked great, but it was really dumb. It was these dogs who was basically Spuds McKenzie driving around on a convertible. It was not a good show, but I loved it. And I've since watched it and enjoyed it. And it was like a dog in his crew. Now I don't feel like me with this. I'm a big fan of anything whether it be a movie or TV show where it's like a gang. Top cat. Top cat's gang. His crew. Yeah. I love a gang. Yeah. Yeah. Fair enough. Fair enough. When anybody's crew gets together, like if it's a TV show, like King of Queens is an example. That show's pretty funny. Like the Poker Night episode. Anytime we're together, the guys are doing whatever they do. I love the gang aspect of all that stuff. So do you feel like you didn't have that as a kid and you like doing it? You like watching it? No. In fact, I had that as a kid. So that's why you like it. Yeah. It definitely had that as a kid. And I always like that. Yeah. Some of that, like I always love the Cosby show and Cliff would have the poker buddies over. Yeah. Yeah. I love that. Yeah. I love that. I love that. Because that's when someone's, I think they're most honest when they're around many a life. Yeah. And you're seeing a different dynamic at the same time. Right. Dealing different. Dennis the Menace when he'd hang out with his. Yes. With the other kids. What was that wee little kitty that was a friend? With the weird hair style. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He was like the, he was like his millhouse. Yeah. Yeah. I can't remember his name though. So that's what I'm going with. Rood Dog and Rood Dog in the Dweeb's. This episode I saved by the bell is a jealous Zack devises a sneaky plan to get rival Slater to move to Hawaii. He's jealous because of a girl. Oh really? That never happened on some other bell. No. It was an episode to say by the bell where a new girl came to school as probably was every episode. Yeah. And people didn't stay in that school for a long time. No. They didn't. And they both met her at different times in the classic sitcom. Hey, I met a girl. So did I. Yeah. I can't wait for you to meet her. I can't wait for you to meet my girl. Yeah. And then that's her. Who? Her? No. That's who I'm talking about. The one behind my girl. Yeah. Yeah. Wait a minute. Yeah. And then it got down to a fight. And those two in the writers wanted me to believe that Slater wouldn't beat the fucking breaks off Zack. I always wanted to see it come to blows and just have Slater just turn him to a stage. Just dirty blood. Yeah. All over my side. Yeah. Just be clumps of bleached hair. This gross. Yeah. Shitty shirts from chess king. To quote one crazy summer. I would like to see him pummeled in dissembling resembling a wet prune. Yeah. Yeah. I was not watching that. I'm going with rude dog. Uh, noon. All right. So noon for me cartoons are over. Uh, as an outside chance, I'd be checking out like a CBS story break. If it was something I caught my eye. Yeah. But more often than I can flight. Yeah. But more often than not, uh, I was watching wrestling. Okay. Fair enough. WWF on channel 25 at noon at noon o'clock. New o'clock. And noon o'clock. Tune in at noon. It would be WWF superstars. Yep. And then at one o'clock it would be WWF challenge. Yeah. And that's what I was watching. So here's what I'm going with. A show that I've mentioned weirdly many times on this podcast before. Animal crack ups. Okay. Animal crack ups was a show hosted by on thick. It was a, it was almost like Jeopardy with celebrities playing for charities. All the questions were about animals. Alan thick wrote and sang the theme song, which Shane Moss was very entertained by when I sang it on the show. Okay. Uh, in this particular episode, Larry Drake is in it. Who you may know as Dr. Giggles. Uh, Mary Fran from New Heart, Charles Nelson Riley. Was it Larry Drake, also when, uh, Darkman? Yes. He's the guy guy in Darkman. Yes. Charles Nelson Riley and Brooke These who from just the ten of us. This is the panel. I'm in. I'm loving animal crack ups. There was a talking hedgehog. Great show. Definitely watching it. No question about it. Uh, 1130. There's a weekend special called The Horse That Played Center Field. They're missing. Also, kissy fur, probably the worst show. Terrible show. Ever. Wouldn't that be clumped in with all those shirt tails? Yeah. Kissy fur was even worse. Kissy fur was like Southern. Oh, this is the worst. But there's also a show on PBS called Owl TV, which was a Canadian show. It was a bit like 321 contact, but more 80s than 70s. And it was different segments. One of the segments was about a kid whose best friend was a skeleton with eyes that lit up with light bulbs. It was a live action one. And this kid would talk to this skeleton. His name was like Mr. Bones or something. And he'd drive around with his bike and the skeleton on the back. And even as a kid, I was like, this would be an amazing art film about a mentally ill kid. What was that on PBS? It was on PBS and Showtime you stared as well. I believe it was Canadian. It was called Owl TV. So some of the segments would be about animals like National Geographic type stuff. It always had this Mr. Bones segment. Like one time they went to the dentist together. And then the last segment was the Owl TV kids. And they had a clubhouse and they'd make something. So they'd make like, you know, a car. And there was one in a wheelchair. And it was it was very I was fascinated by the show. I always used to watch it. And I don't really know why. Owl TV. I had a good theme song with that. Yeah. So then I'd watch that. I definitely didn't watch wrestling because I would flip between Soul Train, which I love. I would I would flip the Soul Train every once in that. Soul Train, especially this time. Pretty awesome. And I remember there was a when there was a group called The Boys. Yeah. And I remember he one of the kids looked like a body of minds. The song was something about kissing. That was the the big song. The Boys had down my heart, down my heart, become a baby on the phone. Very new edition. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah. And one of my buddies cousin looked like one of the boys and we were like, that's her cousin. Yeah. And he didn't deny it at first. Yeah. He was like, yeah, why would you deny it? Yeah. But then we were like, that's not your cousin after like a week. And he's like, yeah, I know. It's not. I was loving the love that you guys. I tried to spread a rumor once that you were a former member of Perfect Gentleman. Oh, they're from Boston. They are. That's yeah. It's in around our age. So did anybody bite on it? No, no, no, no, no. He's not he's not nailing those spin moves. I think he could do it. Yeah. One of those guys went to school with my cousin. One of the people, one of the gentlemen, Perfect Gentleman, guys. They toured with new kids on the block. They were big for about 10 minutes. So yeah, I would just go between that. But their song was Oolala. Oolala. One of those weird songs was like an 11 year old being way too sexual. Yeah. Baby, I just want to be in you. Here's what it's like. Here's the weird thing. It was a group high five. Yeah. I like the way you kissing. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I was thinking of for the boys. Yeah. So my aunt, this is like after, like this after like 95, right? My aunt had a cassette of high five single could sink. Well, she had the whole whole the whole album. So she was the person. Yeah. And well, you know, a lot of units in my neighborhood. Yeah. And um, she had I think the CD or the CD, the tape came out in like 1990. Yeah, 91. And this is like 95, 96 strawberries, probably, probably probably on the second floor. But they had the DJ. Yeah. And they get in front of my high school actually worked up there for a while for like two months, it got fired. Nice. Um, still on stuff? Probably. Yeah. We didn't like that kid though. She had the tape. So I'd say you have the high five tape. And I'm looking at it. And it was pouring on the middle of it. Yeah. It said on one side, it said Oklahoma City and the other side said Waco, Texas. What? After Waco and Oklahoma City bombings. And I'm assuming that's where they're from. Yeah. Yeah. But that's just way that is a little weird. Yeah. I think we need to do some investigation between the connection between high five and the Oklahoma City bombing and the branch to video. So if we go back and watch the footage, I'll say the Waco City bombing, you might see some guys in bright eight ball jackets running from the same is the kissing game. Exactly. What exactly you found out, play the kiss of game backwards and see what happened. Burned down Timothy McVay. Former member original member. He was kicked out of high five. That's why he did it. Never go over. Never got over. He nailed all the spin moves. Yeah. Yeah. He invented the spin move. I remember there used to be a show in Boston here called Ready to Go. I remember the show and the new kids on the block run pretty much every day. And one episode Jordan Knight was showing how to do dance moves that were quote of my own invention. And he showed the swatting flies and the grab your belt loops. It was fantastic. Fantastic. Jordan Knight loved that. Jordan Knight. My favorite night brother. So I was going to mention that it's the end of the day now. I would not watch the VW off, but I would watch wrestling every Saturday and what I would watch the gorgeous ladies of wrestling. The glow girl. Fox 25. The glow girl's Hollywood invite. Yeah. Or my favorite tag. And that actually did feature two or three women who had careers in pornography at the same time. I'm sure. Yeah. One of them actually they were on Myra Children once. Yeah. It was big. Mount Fuji. Big. Mount Fuji. Big. Big. Bad. Mama. Hollywood and Vine. And all the worst acting. Oh yeah. The worst acting. The show is awful. I have all every episode of glow. I rewatched it. It's so wonderfully bad. It's like an hour long 900 number commercial. Can I live here? I'm serious. If you want. I want to live here. I'll stay in that cage. We got enough time. I don't give a fuck. Like I want to be here. Yeah. You can double stove. Like what is this place? We get plenty of couches. This is the set from like grown pains or something. That's what I'm going for. Yeah. I've read. There's actually a really good book called TV sets. And an architect went through all these TV shows, watched this kind of episodes and then drew blueprint plans of the houses. So you can get blueprints of like the house from the monsters and the Brady Bunch and the Severs house. It's pretty cool. Yes. I need to find this book. It's a good book. It's not anything. You can get it for like a penny used. It's a cool book. It's called TV sets. Yeah. Well I'm on price. Our Saturday is over. We have to do something in the world. Return bottles or whatever we do. I'm probably going to run errands with my parents and then come back for syndicated Charles and Charles. Yeah. Fair enough. That's what I do. I'd go to the comic store. I would go. There was a soda company in the next time over in August that made their own soda called Red Rock Soda. And we would go with a wooden crate with glass bottles in it and return to ones from last week and get new sodas for the week. Pineapple soda. One quick thing is speaking of like the 10 30 hour. Yeah. It was a fight between my brother and I and my mom because my mom would be in a living room. She'd be cleaning. Yeah. And we try to watch cartoons. Right. So she's got the vacuum going. But also there was a station called W I O D and the 80s. It was a low frequency AM station for the urban area. Okay. And they just put in a Saturday morning. They had a show called The Time Tunnel. Okay. So it was all the songs from her 60s 60s 70s. Yeah. It was all that stuff and she'd be cleaning and she'd have it cranked. Yeah. And we'd be like, my could we we're trying to watch Ghostbusters. She's cranking her and she's cranking it. Yeah. She's yeah. Smokey Robinson going. And she's got the vacuum cleaner. Oh, but you know what? I do it again. I do it again right now. Oh, absolutely. In a heartbeat. I do that and I never did it before. That sounds fun. It's it was the best. Yeah. Saturday mornings continue to be the best and we'll bring them. I wake up Saturday mornings today and I always hope for some reason that there's going to be something that reminds me of being a kid. Yeah. There isn't there can be. Uh, there should be. Yeah. That's why I have thousands of hours of cartoons that I will not leave here tonight. That's fine. That's fine. Before getting some more Saturday morning. That's another loveings of cartoons. That's fine. I'll get the box out and you can take a look through. Yes. There you go. Le Mans price.
