It's MFD spring break spectacular

0:06

2025. I'm Dave Holmes and

0:08

this is the globally famous

0:10

Max Fund draw. The one

0:13

time of year when we

0:15

ask for your support to

0:17

become a new or upgrading

0:20

member, which you can do

0:22

right now at maximum fun.org/join.

0:24

This is the biggest MFD

0:26

spring break in the network's

0:29

history and it's going to be

0:31

wet. Wild. The first rule of

0:33

the fight club is, you do

0:35

not talk about fight club. This

0:37

MFD spring break, we're paying tribute

0:39

to the 90s, celebrating the decades'

0:41

music, movies, and pop culture, as

0:43

only that's fun can do. But

0:45

now you know there was a man named

0:48

Jack Dawson, and that he saved me, and

0:50

every way that a person can be saved.

0:52

Our first stop is Basel Switzerland,

0:54

where this year's your revision song

0:56

contest will take place. I hear

0:59

very faintlyantly, somebody say... Let's Eurovision.

1:01

I have the Eurovangelis hosts here

1:03

to explain it to you. Dimitri

1:05

will start with you. The short

1:07

version is... Europe's competing nations all

1:10

pick a song and an artist.

1:12

They send it to the host

1:14

city and they all can be

1:16

in an amazing showdown to find

1:18

out what's the best song in

1:21

Europe that year. Oh yeah Oscar? Anything

1:23

to add? It's the gay Super Bowl.

1:25

It is. It's just a bunch of

1:27

spectacle, a bunch of lights, a bunch

1:29

of good times. Oscar, thank you for

1:31

pointing out that it is lit. They

1:33

don't have it in the dark like

1:36

some song. Jeremy? My standard line for

1:38

describing what Eurovision is, is that it

1:40

is street fighter but with music. There

1:42

you go. Now I found out, the

1:44

three of you, we're going to host the

1:46

world's largest dance party at the dance

1:48

pavilion sponsored by Dunkaroos and Hollister. So

1:50

I was a little jealous. But then

1:52

I realized I could fly over. I

1:55

could attend this dance party and you

1:57

guys have all the pressure of organizing

1:59

it. So... We are about 10 minutes

2:01

from the start of your dance

2:03

party before you take the stage

2:05

as a three-headed DJ. Can you

2:07

give us a little preview of

2:09

a spring break appropriate Eurovision songs

2:12

that you have selected to play

2:14

and why? It's a shame people

2:16

can't see the three-headed DJ costume.

2:18

Yeah, pretty cool. I should let

2:20

our Eurovision experts take stage first.

2:22

Let's kick it off the right

2:24

way as we stand next to

2:26

the River Rhine. I think there's

2:28

no better song for your Eurovision

2:30

Spring Break playlist. Then of course,

2:32

Greece 2001 with Die for You

2:35

by Antique. We

2:47

have future Eurovision winner Eleanor Paparizu

2:49

performing with a dear friend a

2:52

wonderful early 2000s dance pop that's

2:54

all about the devotion to your

2:56

loved one even into the point

2:59

of death. That is an excellent

3:01

leadoff clip to Metri. Who's got

3:03

next? Listen, when I think about

3:05

spring break, I think about MTV

3:08

spring break, I think people in

3:10

scantily clad bathing suits and Cancun

3:12

sort of partying, and I kind

3:15

of want to go back to

3:17

that mid 90s kind of vibe

3:19

with a song that kind of

3:21

hit in the US, but no

3:24

one really knows that it's a

3:26

Eurovision song. I'm picking uah just

3:28

a little bit from the UK

3:30

1996, by the one the only

3:33

Gina G. The

3:46

feelings are right. It's great. You

3:48

can grind up on somebody in

3:50

a consensual way. The vibes are

3:52

correct. Love that. And it's one

3:55

of those rare Eurovision songs that

3:57

crossed over. Now, it only crossed

3:59

over so far. as far as

4:01

the gay clubs of 1996 and

4:03

1997. It did get too much

4:06

further than that, but that's enough.

4:08

Counts. But as we know, as

4:10

we know, the gay clubs in

4:12

the 90s set the culture for

4:14

the rest of us. So, when

4:17

it was cool at the gays,

4:19

it was cool with everybody. Now,

4:21

speaking of cool with the gays,

4:23

you need a song that's gonna

4:25

get everybody on the dance floor

4:28

moving and like just going crazy.

4:30

And so I need to celebrate.

4:32

Perhaps the greatest drag performer in

4:34

Eurovision history. I'm talking Ukraine's 2007

4:36

Verka Sarduchka with their song Densing

4:39

La Shatumbai. I love you. I

4:41

want you see. La Shatubai. I

4:43

want you see. I want you

4:45

see. Amazing. If this does not

4:47

get your party going, like I

4:50

don't know what to tell you.

4:52

The party's dead. This came in

4:54

second place, and it's also a

4:56

great anti-Russia imperialism song. So we

4:58

love that as well. In your

5:01

face, Putin. Never more topical than

5:03

right now. I would like to

5:05

slide one in, if I could.

5:07

Dave, of course. You're, you're, you're,

5:09

you're evangelist too. Who knows spring

5:11

break right of the Dave Holmes?

5:14

Well, that's very true. There is

5:16

a song from, I believe the

5:18

year was 1973. to your vision

5:20

winner and it really encapsulates what

5:22

the whole thing is. It was

5:25

1975. Was it 1975? Do you

5:27

know what I'm going to say?

5:29

I'm assuming you're going to go

5:31

with ding-a-dong. You know that's right.

5:33

1975 from Netherlands. Netherlands. Netherlands. And

5:36

I know the line is a

5:38

big hit but it really sounds

5:40

like ding-a-dong listen to it. Maybe

5:42

it's a biggin. But

5:55

I love it. It makes no

5:57

sense. And it's so 1973 or

5:59

2005. It's everything. I prefer maybe

6:02

it's a bigot. That's funnier to

6:04

me. Honestly, it's something we're all

6:06

saying to ourselves. When we meet

6:08

someone new, maybe it's a bigot.

6:11

It's happening a lot these days.

6:13

It is happening a lot these

6:15

days. Okay, I'm seeing the stage

6:18

manager trying to get your attention,

6:20

which means we are almost out

6:22

of time. So let's jump ahead

6:24

to your crescendo songs. What are

6:27

your, what are your closing bangers

6:29

Jeremy? Boy, okay. I am the

6:31

resident rock fan at Eurovision and

6:34

obviously pop and rock have a

6:36

symbiosis that it goes back many

6:38

many decades but never has it

6:40

been more truly expressed at Eurovision

6:43

than in 2006 with Lordy's hard

6:45

rock, hallelujah. And

7:03

just imagining hitting a high

7:05

right when Hard Rock Hallelujah

7:07

drops in, I don't know,

7:09

feels pretty good to me.

7:11

I like it. Oscar? Great

7:14

pig. Okay, this is gonna

7:16

be a controversial one because

7:18

this one just was just

7:20

released. And okay, I know

7:22

what this is. It's the

7:24

song that I keep coming

7:26

back to. If you want

7:28

people to dance, the crescendo

7:30

is happening. And you want

7:32

people to get horny and

7:34

laugh a little, giggle a

7:36

little bit. I'm going for

7:39

the Malta entry of this

7:41

year's Eurovision, 2025. I'm talking

7:43

about Mariana Kante, Kant, spelled

7:45

K-A-N-T, which is Maltese for

7:47

saying. She's

8:01

serving, singing, she's serving, singing.

8:03

But she does, the chorus

8:06

does go like this, Dore

8:08

me, Faso, so, so, and

8:10

it is. She's serving singing.

8:12

She's serving, singing, but she's

8:15

also serving. Wow. If that

8:17

isn't a song to get

8:19

people up, that is gonna

8:21

do it for me. Okay,

8:24

go on, Malta. Absolutely. Dmitri?

8:26

Look, like you said, our

8:28

excitement is beat. Our hearts

8:31

are beating like a drum.

8:33

In fact, there's a Eurovision

8:35

song that talks about your

8:37

heart beating like a drum

8:40

when you're dancing out partying

8:42

with the one you love.

8:44

I'm talking about Turkey 2009,

8:46

Doom Tech. Ooh! Oh, I

8:49

love it. I love it.

8:51

I need this playlist in

8:53

my life right now. Good

8:56

news. We got it waited

8:58

for you on Spotify. We'll

9:00

put it in the show

9:02

notes. Love it. You only

9:05

got one. Why don't you

9:07

end this, Dave? You finish

9:09

on the playlist. I unabashedly

9:11

love, and I don't remember

9:14

the year, but I know

9:16

it was Sweden. Mans Sermalovs.

9:18

Heroes. 2015.

9:33

When I'm out running and my

9:35

energy begins to flag a little

9:37

bit, guess what? Puts the wind

9:39

back in my sales. Monse. Monse.

9:42

All right. You guys. Thank you

9:44

so much for doing this. I

9:46

got to hop back on the

9:48

Concord and head back to South

9:50

Padre Island. Thank you very much

9:52

for taking the time to chat

9:55

with me. Right before the biggest

9:57

event of your careers. Oh yeah,

9:59

we got to get into our

10:01

three-headed DJ costume. Oh yes. Yep,

10:03

you got to do it right

10:06

right now. Hal Lublin, who's hanging

10:08

out at the 90s pop culture

10:10

appreciation cabana. Pele speaks righteous, sister

10:12

Xena, says funky. Hal bazaar. Hal

10:14

bazaar. Hal bazaar. Hal bazaar. But

10:16

first, it's show versus show versus

10:19

show versus show versus show. As

10:21

go fact yourselves, Jay Keith Van

10:23

Stratton hosts an epic trivia showdown

10:25

with secretly incredibly fascinating's Alex Schmidt.

10:27

Secret Histories of nerd mysteries Brenda

10:29

Snell. Let's learn everything's Tom Lum

10:32

and from just the zoo of

10:34

us Ellen Weatherford. All right the

10:36

person who gets the most questions

10:38

correct will have gotten the most

10:40

questions correct. Here's how it's going

10:43

to work. I'm going to ask

10:45

you a question if you know

10:47

the answer. Say the first word

10:49

in your show name and the

10:51

first one to call out can

10:53

guess first. Please wait for me

10:56

to call on you and let's

10:58

practice our buzz in words. Just.

11:00

Alex. I'm going to go with

11:02

Siff, because it's fast. Siff. Brenda?

11:04

Secret. And Tom. Let's. All right,

11:06

here is your first question. Here

11:09

we go. The X-Men belonged to

11:11

a long line of fantastic characters,

11:13

which started with The Human Torch

11:15

in 1939 from Timely Publications. Timely's

11:17

named Change to Atlas Comics in

11:19

the 1950s, and it changed to

11:22

what name in 1961. Secret. Secret

11:24

I heard first. Marvel. Marvel is

11:26

correct and Secret is on the

11:28

board. Very nice job Brenda. Here

11:30

is your next question. Cheers has

11:33

one of television's most memorable theme

11:35

songs written by Gary Portnoy and

11:37

Judy Hart Angelo. Although it's known

11:39

as the theme from Cheers, what

11:41

is the actual title of the

11:43

theme song? Secret. Secret. Is it

11:46

called where everybody knows your name

11:48

or no? Well, this is the

11:50

part where you answer instead of

11:52

ask. So if you would phrase

11:54

that as an answer. No, no,

11:56

not jeopardy rules. Is it where

11:59

everybody knows your name? It is

12:01

where everybody knows your name secret,

12:03

running away with it. so far.

12:05

Two, to nothing to nothing to

12:07

nothing. Let's see if the others

12:10

could get on the board. Oh,

12:12

who here loves sports? That's what

12:14

I thought. I'm wearing a baseball

12:16

hand. You are, okay. On March

12:18

10th, 1955, the Zamboni made its

12:20

debut in what professional sports league?

12:23

Let's. Let's, I heard first. The

12:25

NHL? That is correct, Tom, and

12:27

let's learn everything, are on the

12:29

board. The National Hockey League. Fun

12:31

fact, Zamboni is a registered trademark

12:33

of the Zamboni Company, and they

12:36

are very protective of their trademark.

12:38

Here's your next one. The movie

12:40

Kill Bill volume 1 opens with

12:42

the quote, revenge is a dish

12:44

best served cold, which is credited

12:46

to a proverb of what species

12:49

of Star Trek aliens. Just, I

12:51

heard. Cling on. Klingon is correct

12:53

and I can't believe we had

12:55

that much of a delay regarding

12:57

a Star Trek question. There's a

13:00

lot of Star Trek aliens, okay?

13:02

Yeah, there are. It loops back

13:04

around. If you know too much,

13:06

then you're like, well, it could

13:08

be on the set episode. Exactly.

13:10

I was on a Mind Palace

13:13

about patholians. I was like lost

13:15

somewhere. Yeah. All right, here we

13:17

go with our next question. We've

13:19

got a game going now. As

13:21

shown in the musical, Alexander, Alexander

13:23

Hamilton was the United States first

13:26

secretary of what. So I think

13:28

that was Alex, yes. The Treasury?

13:30

That is correct. $10 founding father

13:32

for Secretary of Treasury. Treasure your

13:34

state. Treasure your state. Treasury. All

13:36

right, here's your next question. According

13:39

to one of TV's Twilight Zone's

13:41

openings, you're traveling through another dimension,

13:43

a dimension not only of sight

13:45

and sound, but of what? Secret?

13:47

Secret. I literally just listened to

13:50

this, but of mind? Fine. That

13:52

is my answer. That is your

13:54

answer. The confidence is growing and

13:56

with good reason. That is correct.

13:58

Sight and sound of mine. There's

14:00

literally like that in like what

14:03

I'm doing for this week's episode

14:05

of the podcast. I literally just

14:07

watched that opening. Was that a

14:09

coincidence or did we conspire to

14:11

help you get that answer correct.

14:13

This goes all the way to

14:16

the top. All the way. Here's

14:18

your next question. Tom Lehrer noted

14:20

for his song on the electric

14:22

company, there's a certain magic letter

14:24

that can turn a can into

14:27

a cane, turn a pan into

14:29

a pain, and make a little

14:31

hug, become huge instantly if you

14:33

just add what quiet vowel. Just.

14:35

I heard just first. E. More

14:37

specific, please. Silent E. Silent E

14:40

is the answer we're looking for.

14:42

That is the wonderful song with

14:44

wonderful animation by the wonderful Tom

14:46

Larer. What is the proper term

14:48

for the motion caps make by

14:50

rhythmically alternating their pause pushing in

14:53

and out against a pliable object?

14:55

Just. Just. Needing is correct. Yes.

14:57

Needing otherwise known as making biscuits,

14:59

which I understand it was about.

15:01

It's one of my favorite cute

15:03

things that kitties do. I like

15:06

that it's still a baking term.

15:08

I thought it was going to

15:10

be much more scientific or allergy

15:12

or something. All right, let's move

15:14

on to our next question. This

15:17

one has to do with Canada

15:19

and food. In the early part

15:21

of the 2000, Steve stole 3,000

15:23

tons of what Canadian food stuff

15:25

valued at 18. Canadian dollars. Let's...

15:27

Oh Canadian dollars, never mind. Uh,

15:30

no, maple syrup? Maple syrup is

15:32

correct, that's right. 3,000 tons of

15:34

maple syrup. Fun fact, Canada has

15:36

a cartel that controls over 70%

15:38

of the world's supply of maple

15:40

syrup. But I know a guy

15:43

if you want to take it.

15:45

He makes blue, he makes blue

15:47

maple syrup. Yeah, that's right. It's

15:49

pure, so pure. All right, here's

15:51

our next question. Anxiety over World

15:54

War II breaking out in Europe

15:56

led some handbags to be designed

15:58

with a stylish compartment to hold

16:00

what life-saving, life-saving device. Just. A

16:02

knife. A knife incorrect, but I...

16:04

That definitely is handy in New

16:07

York. Siff. Siff. Bigger knife. That's

16:09

right. They would say, now that's

16:11

a knife. Yeah. Yeah. No. Any

16:13

other guesses? Let's. A gas mask?

16:15

Gas mask, that's ridiculous and correct.

16:17

Nice. It seems the gas mask

16:20

is mightier than the knife. I

16:22

love playing rock paper gas mask.

16:24

Yes. That's right. Resprators or gas

16:26

mask were part of a line

16:28

of luxury handbags that were designed

16:30

and sold. near World War, excuse

16:33

me, around World War II and

16:35

Europe. The Chanel gas mask? Yeah,

16:37

I am. Who are you wearing?

16:39

All right. All right. Let's move

16:41

on. Here's some questions about improv

16:44

comedy. He was an acclaimed writer-director

16:46

producer and actor. She is an

16:48

acclaimed writer-director-producer and actor. And together,

16:50

they're probably the greatest improv duo

16:52

of all time, whose comedy records

16:54

made the pop music charts and

16:57

won the Grammy. Who are they?

16:59

Siff? Siff. Nichols and May. That

17:01

is correct. Yes, we also would

17:03

have accepted May and Nichols. Yes,

17:05

Nichols and May, of course, is

17:07

correct. The Grammy-winning comedy comedy, comedy

17:10

duo. Any fans are breaking bad

17:12

here? I made that reference about

17:14

the blue thing. Oh, you did!

17:16

So Tom, fake fan, fake fan,

17:18

fake fan. Well, there are some

17:21

rabid fans of Breaking Bad, some

17:23

of whom like to visit the

17:25

actual filming locations of the show

17:27

in Albuquerque and recreate some of

17:29

the show's iconic moments. This led

17:31

show creator Vince Gilligan to beg

17:34

fans to stop going to the

17:36

actual house used as Walter White's

17:38

home and throwing what large circular

17:40

food on the roof. Let's

17:43

I think you were in first

17:45

yeah I was I was gonna

17:47

buzz in the moment you said

17:49

house I knew what yeah It's

17:51

gonna be this is throwing pizzas

17:54

on the roof that is correct.

17:56

Yes exactly yes, please do not

17:58

throw pizzas on the roof. Please

18:00

bring them to my doorstep All

18:02

right another TV question. While the

18:05

TV show Roseanne gained a claim

18:07

for its depiction of a working

18:09

class family, season nine of the

18:11

show depicted the same family as

18:13

incredibly wealthy, how did the family

18:16

come upon this sudden fortune? Secret.

18:18

Um, Roseanne won the lottery. That

18:20

is correct. Yes, you won the

18:22

question and Roseanne won the lottery.

18:24

Hey, let's get a score update

18:27

as we head into the final

18:29

French of questions. We've got Alex

18:31

with two, we've got Ellen with

18:33

three, and we've got a tie

18:35

at the top, Brenda and Tom

18:38

with four, a very close game.

18:40

Anybody could win. But we probably

18:42

know it's not going to be

18:44

one of these people. All right,

18:46

here we can go with our

18:49

next question. I didn't say the

18:51

name, but you'd still be able

18:53

to. I'm okay with it. No,

18:55

that's a nice. Again, the stakes

18:57

could not be lower. Much of

19:00

the film Ed Wood involves the

19:02

making of what critics Michael and

19:04

Harry Medved would later call the

19:06

worst film ever made. What sci-fi

19:08

film featuring Chriswell, Vampira, and Bella

19:11

Legossi, do we get to see,

19:13

come to life? Siff? Siff? Is

19:15

this one Plan Nine for Matter

19:17

Space. Very nice, very nice job.

19:19

The musical Les Misahabla is based

19:22

on the novel Les Misahabla, published

19:24

in 1862. Who is the author

19:26

of that novel? Secret. Just. Secret.

19:28

It is, um... Oh my gosh,

19:30

I blanked on it. I relent.

19:33

Ellen, you were the next one

19:35

in. Hugo. Victor Hugo is correct.

19:37

In the season 3 episode of

19:39

the Brady Bunches, her sister's shadow,

19:41

Jan complains about not getting the

19:44

kind of attention one of her

19:46

siblings gets. In doing so, what

19:48

name does Jan memorably repeat three

19:50

times? SIF. SIF. Marsha, Marsha, Marsha.

19:52

That is correct, correct, correct. I

19:55

think it was Bloody Mary. I

19:57

looked at him three times. It

19:59

was like, when he said that

20:01

and she cheered. Oh, God, Marsha.

20:03

Oh, oh, no. I'm falling down

20:06

the stairs. She pushed me down

20:08

stairs. As long as you don't

20:10

say Beetlejuice or Candyman, I think

20:12

we're okay. All right. Ladies and

20:14

gentlemen, we are all tied up

20:17

at four, all tied up, everybody

20:19

in the lead. Oh my God!

20:21

And it is going to come

20:23

down to this one last question.

20:25

In Ontario Canada, more than 75%

20:28

of milk is sold in what

20:30

type of container? Secret bags. Bags

20:32

is correct. Congratulations Brenda! Congratulations Brenda!

20:34

You know, winner! Oh, this very

20:36

important, very exciting trivia showdown. Congratulations.

20:39

Well, hey, everybody, I want to

20:41

thank you, Tom Lum. Ellen Weather

20:43

for Brenda Snell and Alex Schmidt.

20:45

Now, where can listeners who aren't

20:47

here with us at the Long

20:50

Beach Convention Center promenade meeting room

20:52

20:54

21:05

podcast app. It's the red one.

21:07

And Tom. Well, let's learn everything.

21:09

I am feeling a little peculiar.

22:09

And so I wake in the

22:11

morning and I step outside and

24:39

lounge. I am Dave Holmes. With

24:42

a young man, who's down here

24:44

all the way from Auburn University?

24:46

He's a little bit of a

24:48

spring break celebrity. Please welcome. Thatcher

24:50

Sawyer! Hi Thatcher! Dave, it's great

24:53

to be here. I can't wait

24:55

to share my story with everybody.

24:57

We can't wait to be shared

24:59

in that story. Yeah, go sandpipers.

25:01

Go sandpipers. We're the number one

25:03

school in rowing, lacrosse, and shorts.

25:06

Yeah, and an excellent pair of

25:08

shorts on you right now, Thatcher.

25:10

Madras never looked so good. So

25:12

you had a bit of an

25:14

interesting experience at spring break last

25:17

year. Why don't you tell us

25:19

about it? Well, Dave, during spring

25:21

break last year, I legally died.

25:23

Thatcher. I was pronounced legally dead

25:25

and I saw heaven itself. Okay,

25:27

back me up a few steps,

25:30

Thatcher. What happened? What were the

25:32

circumstances of your spring break death?

25:34

I was a tragic victim. of

25:36

mixing. Obviously I know this now

25:38

but like I just want to

25:41

say it all the young people

25:43

out there if you're partying if

25:45

you're throwing down just watch for

25:47

mixing because I unfortunately mixed tequila.

25:49

Celsius and being on a balcony

25:51

that collapsed. Wow, that's a difficult

25:54

combination. Because of that, I was

25:56

legally dead for 14 minutes, but

25:58

was brought back to life by

26:00

heroic EMTs. They're the real heroes.

26:02

But in the time that I

26:05

was gone, I was fortunate enough

26:07

to see heaven, to see the

26:09

other side and to see what

26:11

awaits us, you know, after the

26:13

party's over. I have so many

26:15

questions about the afterlife. I'm just

26:18

gonna start. What does it smell

26:20

like? I mean, it's just got

26:22

this wonderful smoky smell, right? Like

26:24

a smoky, sulfur, charcoal. You ever

26:26

like catch your flesh on fire?

26:29

You ever like catch your hair

26:31

or flesh on fire? Like maybe

26:33

you fall in a bonfire? You

26:35

get too drunk at a bonfire?

26:37

Yeah. So it smells a little

26:39

bit like when human flesh burns?

26:42

Right. Just like, just like gorgeous

26:44

smells in heaven. Wow. Wow. Oh

26:46

God, yeah, so like a little

26:48

bit like a, like a, like

26:50

a fire pit or a Korean

26:53

barbecue, but, but human flesh. Yeah,

26:55

human flesh, exactly. It's kind of

26:57

got a, got a stench, a

26:59

kind of a reek, you know,

27:01

but like, you know, I was

27:03

into it. The music playing in

27:06

heaven, is it what you're listening

27:08

to when you die? Or is

27:10

there special heaven after like music?

27:12

You know, I assumed I would

27:14

be up there. Jamming with the

27:17

grates. I play a little guitar

27:19

Dave. Do you know that I

27:21

play a little guitar? I didn't

27:23

know that but I did assume

27:25

people love it when they're at

27:27

a party with me and I

27:30

break out the acoustic and I

27:32

throw down a little buffalo soldier

27:35

No matter what's playing on

27:37

the stereo. It's a song

27:39

of revolution Dave and it

27:41

speaks so directly to your

27:43

own personal experiences Exactly, I've

27:45

had a lot of hardship.

27:47

You know Bob Marley he

27:49

gets me anyway, what I

27:51

was assuming was that I

27:53

would be in heaven Jamming

27:56

with Hendricks Bob Marley the

27:58

one guy from Dave Matthews

28:00

Band that died. I didn't

28:02

really see many many many

28:04

musicians There was this really

28:06

cool guy though Genghis Khan?

28:08

Oh, I've heard that name.

28:10

Is he on Survivor or

28:12

Big Brother? No, I think

28:14

he was like a leader

28:16

or something. Not a history

28:18

guy, I'm more of just

28:21

like a school of life

28:23

kind of guy. Yeah. He's

28:25

great with percussion and he

28:27

had this friend there vlogued

28:29

the Impaler. Is he a

28:31

tick-tocker? He's a tick-tocker. Maybe

28:33

he might be a tick-tocker.

28:35

I have like a different...

28:37

tick-tock algorithm than most people.

28:39

I'm on cross-talk, which is

28:41

like cross-fit and talking over

28:43

each other. That's my tick-tock

28:45

algorithm. But this guy was

28:48

really cool and, you know,

28:50

we had a little drum

28:52

circle and it was like,

28:54

it's really cool and like

28:56

expressive and spiritual. It was

28:58

kind of right up your

29:00

alley the afterlife. Oh, yeah.

29:02

Something, something pulled you back.

29:04

I'm just curious what that

29:06

was. Yeah, you know, I

29:08

think I just realized that

29:10

I had a lot of

29:13

unfinished business to take care

29:15

of here on earth. Of

29:17

course, I have my great-girlfriend

29:19

Kendra. and she and I

29:21

were supposed to go to

29:23

a wedding so I didn't

29:25

want to like miss out

29:27

on that. It was her

29:29

cousin who's really cool, who's

29:31

kind of like a cousin

29:33

to me in many ways.

29:35

I have a lot of

29:37

great ideas for apps so

29:40

I think I like wanted

29:42

to make sure that like

29:44

I get some of these

29:46

apps off the ground and

29:48

of course Dave Matthews Band

29:50

is touring in our first

29:52

film business and our first

29:54

film is... a dramatization of

29:56

your story. Yeah, it was

29:58

just like really exciting. Of

30:00

course, like my uncle's an

30:02

executive at Miramax, so he

30:04

like fast-tracked it. Just a

30:07

really, really good script from

30:09

Diablo Cody. She was fun

30:11

to work with. She really

30:13

responded well to my many

30:15

notes. Yeah, I think I'm

30:17

just like really excited to

30:19

like finally. Tell the story

30:21

of a straight white. that

30:23

died and hopefully others can

30:25

be inspired by my journey.

30:27

And Thatcher, you brought a

30:29

scene? Can you set it

30:32

up for us? Yeah, this

30:34

is the pivotal scene where

30:36

the heroic EMTs bring me

30:38

back from heaven. Can you

30:40

just tell me if my

30:42

boyfriend is even alive? I'm

30:44

doing compressions. Come on, dude.

30:46

Take a broth! Think about

30:48

the memes that you might

30:50

go on to send to

30:52

your friends and family. Look

30:54

at those madras slacks! I

30:56

see his eyes fluttering. There's

30:59

life in those eyes. Yeah,

31:01

man! that it won't hurt.

31:03

Right, and give me your

31:05

blood. Still ahead, the segment

31:07

MFD's lawyers don't want us

31:09

to do. It's going to

31:11

be wild. I love watching

31:13

wrestling and talking about wrestling

31:15

and interviewing wrestlers. It's pretty

31:17

cool. You know I'm able

31:19

to do all these incredible

31:21

things? Because a friend didn't

31:24

let me mix tequila in

31:26

Celsius and step out onto

31:28

a wobbly balcony in South

31:30

Beach. Friends don't let other

31:32

friends mix on balconies. Hey

31:34

there I am Dave Holmes

31:36

and you are experiencing the

31:38

MFD 2025 spring break spectacular.

31:40

I'm at the Fruit by

31:42

the Foot Party Animal Pavilion

31:44

in South Padre Island where

31:46

hundreds of party animals have

31:48

been competing all day long

31:51

for our first annual Golden

31:53

Chalice Trophy. And you can

31:55

hear just how wild it

31:57

32:04

32:06

rad Golden Chalice filled with

32:08

the party animals favorite snack

32:10

So without further ado, let's

32:12

say bonjure to our remaining

32:15

handlers from dr game show

32:17

Manolo Moreno, Moreno your evangelists

32:19

Jeremy bent Let's learn everything's

32:21

Tom Lum and from just

32:23

the zoo of us Ellen

32:25

Weatherford first up Manolo Moreno

32:27

Now your buddy here is

32:29

really going to town on

32:31

those bagel bites proving the

32:33

adage that when pizza is

32:35

on a bagel You can

32:37

have pizza any time. Who's

32:39

your friend here? I brought

32:41

a party pig his name

32:43

is Pigga Chad Here he

32:45

is right now. There he

32:47

is. Now what's his name

32:49

again? Pigga Chad. He just

32:51

said he just said that

32:53

he was annoyed by the

32:55

flight because uh People kept

32:57

telling him to go under

32:59

the seat. He said yeah,

33:02

he said he wanted to

33:04

fly the plane You know

33:06

what? You could do a

33:08

lot worse these days. Yeah,

33:10

so I understand you you

33:12

actually speak pig. That's impressive

33:14

Yeah, I mostly understand it.

33:16

I don't to embarrass you

33:18

don't speak it. You do

33:20

you yeah, I interpret it

33:22

and read it You mostly

33:24

don't like, where's the bathroom,

33:26

stuff like that? Yeah, yeah,

33:28

which is weird because my

33:30

pig likes traveling. Yeah, he

33:32

likes traveling. He just came

33:34

back from France and he

33:36

learned some French, if you

33:38

want to hear what he

33:40

said, he said. And yeah,

33:42

that does mean, where is

33:44

the bathroom. He is multilingual.

33:47

So when did you realize,

33:49

Manolo, that Pigga Chad liked

33:51

to party? I heard him

33:53

down the street at his,

33:55

uh, those party houses. He

33:57

likes singing this song. And

33:59

that's when I knew. Jeremy

34:01

bent who you got with

34:03

you. And why do they

34:05

like to party? These are

34:07

bonobos, Dave. Bonobos. Our closest

34:09

non-human relative. But also animals

34:11

known to party. Wow, what

34:13

do you mean by that?

34:15

Okay, so these animals, they're

34:17

very close to humans. They're

34:19

another, they're a fellow primate.

34:21

They're one of two animals

34:23

within the chimp family, because

34:25

bonobos are type of chim.

34:27

But they are the only

34:29

animal that exhibits a similar

34:32

behavior to us humans. They,

34:34

tongue kiss, just like we

34:36

do. So these animals like

34:38

to get down. Yeah. Jeremy,

34:40

what are your bonobos named?

34:42

When I first met them,

34:44

they told me their names

34:46

are Manny and Tess. Manny

34:48

and Tess. So when did

34:50

you realize that your bonobos

34:52

like to throw down? Well,

34:54

you know, once you see,

34:56

you know, a big community

34:58

of bonobos in action, you

35:00

realize that like, oh, they

35:02

like, uh, they like to

35:04

get it on. They have

35:06

sex for pleasure. They do

35:08

it frequently. They do it

35:10

with, uh... Multiple partners, but

35:12

they also are known to

35:14

have long friendships and lengthy

35:17

relationships as well. They're just

35:19

like a good time gang

35:21

bonobos. All right. You seem

35:23

like you actually did some

35:25

work and research, Jeremy Bent.

35:27

I'm taken by surprise. Tom

35:29

Lum, who got with you?

35:31

Well, I thought one of

35:33

the most and underrated factors

35:35

of a party animal is

35:37

a chill hang. And so

35:39

I brought perhaps the most

35:41

chillest hanger in the world,

35:43

the sloth. as my party

35:45

animal. Oh, sure. Wow. People

35:47

don't often know they're nocturnal,

35:49

so they'll be up all

35:51

night. They are literally cold-blooded

35:53

and their temperature will change

35:55

up to 20 degrees Fahrenheit

35:57

within a single day because

35:59

they don't care. They'll just,

36:02

hey, you know what, I'll

36:04

rock with whatever we're rocking

36:06

with. That's so important to

36:08

the art of partying is

36:10

resilience. Tom Lum, does your

36:12

sloth have a name? Um,

36:14

also Piggetad, weirdly. One of

36:16

you has to be like,

36:18

Piggetad A, and one of

36:20

you has to be like,

36:22

Piggetad S. Yeah, like on

36:24

The Bachelor. Finally, Ellen Weatherford,

36:26

who's with you, and why

36:28

do they like to party?

36:30

Well, I've brought only two

36:32

to three hundred of my

36:34

closest friends. I've brought a

36:36

colony of Western honeybees, honeybees,

36:38

Apis Malifera. So, you know,

36:40

I feel like there's no

36:42

bigger bummer than getting to

36:44

a party in realizing that

36:47

it's like all dudes. So

36:49

I figured I would bring,

36:51

you know, a few hundred

36:53

females, because in a honeybee

36:55

colony, the only males are

36:57

a few sort of like,

36:59

they're basically just there for

37:01

reproduction occasionally, and everyone else

37:03

is all females. So I

37:05

brought some literal fly honeys.

37:07

Oh lie, honey's. Now talk

37:09

to me about their partying

37:11

strategies and likes and dislikes.

37:13

They are extremely social. They

37:15

bring snacks to the party.

37:17

When they collect pollen, they

37:19

attach pollen to their body

37:21

and then they process it

37:23

into something called bee bread.

37:25

So they are bringing snacks

37:27

to share. They also communicate

37:29

with dance moves, which I

37:32

feel like there's nothing more

37:34

party than that. So true.

37:36

We will be back later

37:38

this hour from the Fruit

37:40

by the Foot party pavilion

37:42

to see which of these

37:44

competitors will go home with

37:46

the Golden Chalice. While we

37:48

take a break, our judges,

37:50

Lori Petty, Gerardo, and the

37:52

guy who plays the guitar

37:54

player in California Dreams, the

37:56

show that is like, say,

37:58

by the bell, but it's

38:00

banned instead of high school.

38:02

They will review our contestants

38:04

and come to a decision.

38:06

Stick around for more MFD

38:08

spring break. Have you experienced

38:10

trouble breathing, throbbing pain, paralysis

38:12

and severe tissue death? due

38:14

to a bite by someone

38:17

else's cobra? Has being slapped

38:19

and or hurled in the

38:21

air by an unsecured elephant

38:23

caused you undue hardship? Did

38:25

you die for 14 minutes

38:27

because of a building code

38:29

violation? Hi, I'm Sweet John,

38:31

personal injury lawyer. If you

38:33

think life would be easier

38:35

with millions of dollars in

38:37

your bank account and feeling

38:39

back in your extremities, you're

38:41

right. I've won hundreds of

38:43

negligence lawsuits and gotten my

38:45

client's huge payouts. Clients like

38:47

Cindy Newberry, $80,000 for a

38:49

botched manicure on her wedding

38:51

day. Or Jeff Ziplik awarded

38:53

$2 million after a nasty

38:55

fall in a home he

38:57

was robbing. If something bad

38:59

happened to you, even if

39:02

it was your fault, you

39:04

deserve compensation. I'm sweet John

39:06

and I body slam insurance

39:08

companies. Call my office today

39:10

for a free consultation. One

39:12

eight hundred, pain free free.

39:14

That's 1,800 pain-free, but ignore

39:16

the second E. So it's

39:18

1,800, 724, and then just

39:20

6373. Do not dial 63733.

39:22

It will not work. Call

39:24

now. Well, our judges have

39:26

rendered a verdict. I'll go

39:28

through one by one. Peacachad.

39:30

Pigachad. Pigachad. The sloth. Your

39:32

resilience made my insights bounce

39:34

for joy, but your internal

39:36

cooling left me cold. I'm

39:38

sorry, my dear, but you

39:40

are eliminated. Manny and Tess,

39:42

the bonobos, your level of

39:44

affection, made me warm inside.

39:47

But overall, I found your

39:49

appearance to be pants. That

39:51

means we are down to

39:53

two competitors. Piggy Chad the

39:55

pig. And a big swarm

39:57

of honeybees. Congratulations Manolo. You

39:59

win the Fruit Gusher's Golden

40:01

Chalice. What would pig a

40:03

Chad like to fill it

40:05

with? Boy, this guy likes

40:07

to party. Ellen, you were

40:09

so close and yet, so

40:11

far, do you think you'll

40:13

try again next year? Yeah,

40:15

for sure, the colony's always

40:17

here. It keeps, the colony

40:19

never goes away. This colony

40:21

will never collapse, baby. Stick

40:23

around for more. MFD spring

40:25

break. Welcome

40:32

back to MFD Spring Break. We're

40:34

channeling the 90s and I've asked

40:36

a few of this network's greatest

40:39

movie minds to compile a list

40:41

of the decade's most iconic films.

40:43

We are in the Orville Redenbocker

40:45

extreme amounts of movie theater, butter,

40:48

microwave popcorn, screening room for maximum

40:50

film. It's Drey Clark and Alonzo

40:52

Giraldi. Welcome. Hello. Who do you?

40:54

How's your spring break? This is

40:57

my first real spring break. So

40:59

it's a it's a rum spring

41:01

of energy for me. I'm very

41:03

excited to be here She's already

41:05

had her hair braided And you

41:08

are actually holding a bottle of

41:10

Malibu rum in your hands. Yeah,

41:12

it's a sponsored rum springa It's

41:14

a spice rum springa. It's a

41:17

spice rum springa. Mm-mm-hmm-hmm. Welcome to

41:19

the both of you and welcome

41:21

also from the flop house Dan

41:23

McCoy. Hello, hello welcome Dan Hello,

41:26

Alonzo and Dan are compiling a

41:28

list of their their picks of

41:30

the 90 Well, I mean, 1999

41:32

obviously is quite rightly pointed at

41:34

as a movie as a year

41:37

that really like changed film a

41:39

lot and through a lot of,

41:41

you know, kind of wrenches in

41:43

the system of big studio filmmaking

41:46

and you had a lot of

41:48

Indio tours making these big breakthroughs

41:50

and going wild. So I'm gonna

41:52

make the case that even though

41:55

it was not... a success in

41:57

theaters of fight club. really kind

41:59

of set a new tone of

42:01

like dude speak and you know

42:04

a certain kind of male ego

42:06

expressing itself in the culture and

42:08

feeling victimized by the culture that

42:10

I think has continued to reverberate

42:12

through the social media era. The

42:15

first rule of by club is

42:17

you do not talk about by

42:19

club. That poster on the wall

42:21

of some of the worst... guys

42:24

I ever hooked up with. Exactly.

42:26

You see that bar of soap

42:28

you turn around and leave. Oh

42:30

yeah, now you gotta go. Dreya?

42:33

I would say 1995 is clueless.

42:35

Clulis gave us a whole new

42:37

vernacular, it gave us fashion, quotes

42:39

for days, it really allowed us

42:41

to finally all want that aspirational

42:44

crush on a stepbrother that really

42:46

cinema had been begging for. So

42:48

wrong, but so right. Right? Like

42:50

we were really all rooting for

42:53

her to get with her stepbrother

42:55

and why not? Because it's Paul

42:57

Rutt. What's with you. What do

42:59

you mean? So quiet. Like it

43:02

launched a thousand ships of stars.

43:04

Everybody knows one line now of

43:06

the song rolling with ponies. Like

43:08

what is not to love about

43:10

clueless? Find me someone who hasn't

43:13

dreamt of getting a yellow plaid

43:15

little suit set and I'll find

43:17

you a liar. Damn right. I

43:19

love Clueless, but I do remember

43:22

even at the time like being

43:24

like, is no one else noticing

43:26

this about their, I mean, I

43:28

know that they're not blood relations,

43:31

but no one seems to have

43:33

a problem with it at all.

43:35

He's playing someone who was raised,

43:37

the Austin character was raised in

43:40

like the neighboring estate, so it's

43:42

someone she'd known her whole life,

43:44

was not related to her by

43:46

marriage or otherwise. Okay, Dan McCoy,

43:48

how about you? I think this

43:51

is less groundbreaking than more just

43:53

like... trend setting in that it

43:55

collaged a much of stuff that

43:57

we hadn't really seen put together

44:00

before. in that pulp fiction from

44:02

94 like brought this sort of

44:04

humor and glibness to a pulp

44:07

crime story in a way that

44:09

you know it's not utterly new

44:11

but was but felt very

44:13

trend setting like you

44:15

couldn't for like the

44:17

next decade you couldn't

44:19

uh... go to

44:21

a video store

44:24

without seeing a

44:27

dozen knockoffs of

44:29

people who are

44:32

like oh i

44:35

get it you

44:37

just make the

44:40

the crimes funny

44:43

And that's all they got from

44:45

it. They didn't get any of

44:47

the other skill. The punchline is

44:50

a gunshot. Yeah. Saw it, the

44:52

night it came out in New

44:54

York City at the Angelica Theater,

44:56

the subway roared underneath us and

44:58

rumbled our seats during the shot

45:01

of adrenaline scene. For free? And

45:03

everyone, like literally everybody was like,

45:05

the original D-box. It was bad

45:07

news. But I loved it, of

45:10

course. Okay, to recap so far,

45:12

we have. Clulace, Fight Club,

45:14

and finally, Pope Fiction. Stay tuned

45:16

for the complete list. Stick around

45:19

for more show. Do you ever

45:21

wonder how British people celebrate spring

45:24

break? I do, so I'll catch

45:26

up with Ellen McCloud, John Luke

45:28

Roberts, Ella Hubbard, and Caroline Rope.

45:31

All right, so listen, we do

45:33

think of you often in the

45:35

UK as a bit more reserved.

45:37

Who are some of the most

45:40

notorious UK? Party figures who

45:42

are the party people? Timmy

45:44

mallet he had a hammer and

45:46

he'd hit you on the on

45:48

the head and he had he

45:50

had a hit with the song

45:52

teeny weeny itsy bitsy yellow poker

45:54

dot bikini. That's our party. That's

45:56

our party. That's our party. That's

45:58

our party guy. Okay. Okay. The

46:00

similar, who did the song?

46:02

Agadou. Agadou. Agadou. That's a,

46:05

that's a classic. I think

46:07

a lot of our party

46:09

is just, unfortunately, just bad

46:11

people now. You know, I

46:13

think like, Russell Brand was

46:16

a big one. Sure. But

46:18

I think of him as

46:20

American now. He's been there

46:22

for long enough. So true.

46:24

He's your problem. Yeah. Yeah,

46:27

that's a real good point.

46:29

Uh-huh. love island? Or like,

46:31

do I mean, like, they

46:33

come out of the island

46:35

and then they do the,

46:37

like, the, they come out

46:40

and they do the, like,

46:42

uni, freshest circuit, where they

46:44

do, like, club appearances at

46:46

dodgy nightclubs, where they, like,

46:48

party with 18-year-olds, which, you

46:51

know. No, no, no, no,

46:53

no, the chuckle brothers. No,

46:55

I can't. The law

46:57

is too deep, they're just a kid,

46:59

they're a duo for a kid's TV

47:01

kind of presenters, a show, and they

47:03

had a bit where they would hold

47:05

something and they'd pass it back and

47:07

forward to each other and go, to

47:10

you, to me, and that was the

47:12

height of children's British humour. Well, the

47:14

Red's got the most wrappers off, so

47:16

that means the Red's won the game,

47:18

and they go first in the main

47:20

game of, to me, to you! But

47:28

also they come from the sort

47:30

of blackpool working men's club comedy

47:32

tradition So they're very much and

47:34

also they have two brothers who

47:36

are also less successful, a less

47:38

successful double-out. There's two Chuckle Brothers

47:40

who aren't in the Chuckle Brothers,

47:42

there are other brothers, but also

47:44

one of the Chuckle Brothers is

47:47

now dead, which is sad. Which

47:49

set of the Chuckle Brothers died?

47:51

No, the main Chuckle Brothers, the

47:53

other ones didn't get the Chuckle

47:55

Name. I don't know which name

47:57

they took. But the main Chuckle

47:59

Brother that died basically got like

48:01

a state funeral. Like I honestly

48:03

haven't... see that kind of turnout

48:05

for anyone but like the Queen

48:07

like Q was extraordinary it was

48:10

nice but these characters these people

48:12

would often end up at like

48:14

freshers events or club nights for

48:16

students and they would have like

48:18

a DJ set or something like

48:20

that or just like a meeting

48:22

group in a club yeah Howard

48:24

from the Halifax yeah the guy

48:26

Hodor from Game of Thrones did

48:28

the the fresher circuit yeah and

48:30

he came to my and we

48:33

saw him like tearing it up.

48:35

I saw Dick and Dom. No,

48:37

that's a good one. That's a

48:39

good one. That's a good booking.

48:41

That's doing that. This is another

48:43

children's duo presenter team. Apparently we

48:45

love them DJing. We love them

48:47

DJing. Tracy Bika, Danny Haram as

48:49

well. She did. Dick and Dom

48:51

were famous for going into public

48:53

places and yelling like bogeys really

48:56

loudly. Are we selling the UK

48:58

to you, the UK like club

49:00

scene? I feel like just before

49:02

we entirely move off the subject,

49:04

we do need to give a

49:06

special shout out to sun sex

49:08

and suspicious parents. I think it's

49:10

really... Oh my goodness, yes. That

49:12

we acknowledge the existence of that

49:14

show. So sun sex and suspicious

49:16

parents is a... reality entertainment show

49:19

that follows a different like group

49:21

of 18 year old school leavers

49:23

every episode and they're going to

49:25

one of these like terrible like

49:27

Santee Magaloove type holidays and they're

49:29

like off to go while for

49:31

the first time and what they

49:33

don't know is that their parents

49:35

are so they think they're being

49:37

filmed for like some documentary and

49:39

obviously I don't know they're two.

49:42

drunk or stupid to question. The

49:44

wisdom of all of their antics

49:46

being captured, but anyway, but what

49:48

they don't know is that their

49:50

parents actually on the holiday, just

49:52

in a different room the whole

49:54

time, watching the shenanigans they get

49:56

up to, and then they come

49:58

out at the end, and it's

50:00

always some mother who thinks her

50:03

like, precious baby golden boy. is

50:05

an angel and then he, you

50:07

know, sleeps with 16 girls and

50:09

says fairly derogatory things about them

50:11

and she cries and is like,

50:13

I raised you better than this.

50:15

It's great television. It's great. Really

50:17

classic. Oh, yes. My YouTube two

50:19

watchers is growing, growing and growing.

50:21

You're going to have a great

50:23

time. I'm having, I'm having something

50:26

about this context is giving me

50:28

a really dissociative experience when I'm,

50:30

I know all these cultural things.

50:32

This is my British culture, but

50:34

as I'm hearing them through, and

50:36

I'm looking at you Dave, I'm

50:38

feeling like, so alienated. I can't

50:40

believe that this is, that this

50:42

is all true, though. Black Lace

50:44

did Agadou. There's no reason for

50:46

me to know that. And yet

50:49

all of this stuff is a

50:51

level deeper than anything. Even Black

50:53

Lace have forgotten. I have certainly,

50:55

I also like, I have so

50:57

many questions about what that song

50:59

means or is what push pineapple

51:01

indicates. And I just, it's for

51:03

next year's Max Fun Drive for

51:05

sure. But for now, let's check

51:07

back in with how. We're having

51:09

a great time here at the

51:12

90s pop culture, appreciation, Gabana. I'm

51:14

here with Austin Taylor. We've already

51:16

seen a couple come up and

51:18

reenact one of Ross and Rachel's

51:20

breakups. And another guy who wandered

51:22

in from the street was already

51:24

reciting most of 1992's Dark Man,

51:26

the Sam Ramey film. Austin, tell

51:28

us about the fun you're having

51:30

and some of the stuff you've

51:32

seen today. No, it's been great.

51:35

It's been wild. Someone came in

51:37

and they did an entire recreation

51:39

of the Ninja Turtles apartment fight

51:41

scene. They had four Dutrasas turtles,

51:43

like 15 guys as ninjas. It

51:45

was nothing. They did set the

51:47

building on fire, but we put

51:49

it out. It's fine now. It's

51:51

good. We're good now. Yeah, only

51:53

three people went to the hospital.

51:55

We call that a good time

51:58

here in the Cabana. I like.

52:00

Big butts and I cannot lie

52:02

You, other brothers can't deny that

52:04

when a girl walks in with

52:06

an itty-bitty waist and a round

52:08

thing in your face, you get

52:10

sprung. Let's go now to Jake

52:12

Heath and Stratton at the Hard

52:14

Rock Cafe in Hollywood. Which Max

52:16

Fun host will prevail in our

52:18

music quiz spectacular? You're Evangelist Jeremy

52:21

Bent? Sleeping with Celebrities and Depress

52:23

Mode host John Mo or Primers

52:25

Christian Dwayne. All right, we're going

52:27

to begin. I'm going to ask

52:29

a question and if you know

52:31

the answer, see the first word

52:33

in your show name. John, you'll

52:35

choose one of your two shows.

52:37

And the first one to get

52:39

the answer correct, gets the answer

52:41

correct. So let's start by practicing,

52:44

let's get your buzz in words

52:46

Christian. Go ahead. Primer. And Jeremy?

52:48

I guess I'll say Euroo. And

52:50

John? Depress. Depress. Those are your

52:52

buzzer sounds. Here we begin with

52:54

the first question. Between 1990 and

52:56

1999, over 30 hip hop album

52:58

reached number one on the Billboard

53:00

200 chart. The first one to

53:02

do so in the span was

53:04

the album Please Hammer don't hurt

53:07

him, which featured what number one

53:09

hit song? Depress. Depress? Uh, can't

53:11

touch this. You can't touch this.

53:13

You did add the letter you,

53:15

which does make it correct. Yes,

53:17

that is a point for John

53:19

Mo. Very good. We're on our

53:21

second question. The movie Midnight Run

53:23

has a rich and driving blues-based

53:25

score composed by a Grammy and

53:27

Emmy winner known for his frequent

53:30

musical collaborations with Tim Burton and

53:32

has worked with the band Oingo

53:34

Boingo. Who is it? Ooh. I

53:36

think I hear Bureau first. Euro

53:38

Jeremy, go ahead. That is Danny

53:40

Elfman. Jeremy is on the board

53:42

with a point. Speaking of music

53:44

in movies. The movie Dirty Dancing

53:46

didn't just do well at the

53:48

box office. It also won an

53:50

Academy Award for what song? Euro.

53:53

Depression. I've had the time of

53:55

my life. I know you have,

53:57

but what is the answer to

53:59

this question? It is both

54:01

felt this way before. Nor have I,

54:03

John, never felt this way. All right,

54:05

there's a point for us. It's the

54:07

truth. Yes, we could keep going and

54:09

yet we shall not. Oh, we owe

54:11

it all to you. Oh, thank you.

54:14

Hey, baby. Hey, don't put me in

54:16

a corner in your zoom window. I

54:18

want to be right in the center.

54:20

Here is your next question. Just because

54:22

you start out playing loud rock and

54:24

roll in a garage doesn't mean you

54:26

can't have a long career with other

54:28

styles of music. Take the lead singer

54:30

of the band Them who had a

54:32

hit with the garage rock classic Gloria,

54:34

but later had even bigger hits. Who

54:36

was this singer and songwriter of Gloria?

54:39

Depression right away. John Morrison. Van Morrison

54:41

is correct. Van Morrison of course with

54:43

the hits Domino, Tupolo Honey, and Brown

54:45

Night Girl, among others. A popular song

54:47

on the Who album Who's Next is

54:49

Behind Blue Eyes, which could have been

54:51

about any three of the blue-eyed members

54:53

of the band, but probably not about

54:55

which member who had brown eyes and

54:57

played drums. Uruh. I heard Uro first.

54:59

Keith Moon. Keith Moon is correct, and

55:02

we're back on track. We did an

55:04

entire segment on that album, on Go

55:06

Fact Yourself. All right, let's ask about

55:08

Prince. from Minnesota, so John, no pressure.

55:10

The first print song to reach Billboard's

55:12

Hot 100 was 1978 soft and wet.

55:14

The next one to make the charts

55:16

hit number 11 in 1979. The lyrics

55:18

of the song begin, I ain't got

55:20

no money, I ain't like those other

55:22

guys you hang around. What is the

55:24

name of this hit song? Euro. I

55:27

want to be your lover. Thank you

55:29

so much, Jeremy, but yes, that is

55:31

the correct answer as well. Trapped again.

55:33

Trapped again. I did not do those

55:35

on purpose, but it is kind of

55:37

fun to have fun to have fun

55:39

to have. All right, here is another

55:41

Prince song. After this, we'll get a

55:43

score recap as we head into the

55:45

next section of questions. Prince wrote some

55:47

amazing lyrics on the album Purple Rain,

55:50

but not all of them have been

55:52

heard correctly. In a 2009 interview, Prince

55:54

said that he had seen some strange

55:56

rewrites of his lyrics, including the opening

55:58

line of When Dove's Cry. as dig

56:00

if you will a picture of me

56:02

Marvin Gay and the kids. What is

56:04

the correct opening line of this song?

56:06

Depress right away. Dig if you will

56:08

a picture me and you engaged in

56:10

a kiss. That is not exactly correct.

56:12

Christian or Jeremy. Do you want to

56:15

see if you can get it exactly

56:17

right? I'm guessing by

56:19

the silence you do not know

56:21

I think we have a look

56:23

at the half a point to

56:25

John it's dig if you will

56:27

a picture of you and I

56:29

engaged I was like I think

56:32

he got it but good grammar

56:34

prince yeah so that was all

56:36

very important of course by I

56:38

he meant the picture of an

56:40

I and by you he meant

56:42

the letter you meant the letter

56:44

you yes kiss the rock band

56:46

kiss of course Let's see what

56:48

the scores are as we head

56:50

into this next round. We don't

56:53

need to look at the scores.

56:55

The scores currently are Christian with

56:57

the bronze medal of zero correct

56:59

answers. Jeremy with three and John

57:01

just ahead with three and a

57:03

half. So it still is anyone's

57:05

game technically. All right, let's move

57:07

on to our next question. This

57:09

one is about hip-hop. Only one

57:12

hip-hop artist had three albums reached

57:14

number one on the Billboard 200

57:16

charts in the 1990s. Tupac Shakur,

57:18

aka Tupac, aka Makavelli. What were

57:20

any one of those three chart-topping

57:22

albums? Primer? Primer. All lies on

57:24

me? That is correct, and Kristen

57:26

from Primer is on the board.

57:28

On the board. The others are

57:30

Me Against the World and the

57:33

Don Caluminati, the seven-day theory. All

57:35

right, here's another one. James Brown

57:37

was known as the King of

57:39

Soul, but so was Otis Redding,

57:41

who wrote what song that was

57:43

reinterpreted and made a billboard hit

57:45

for the undisputed Queen of Soul,

57:47

Aretha Franklin. Depress. Depress. Trying to

57:49

add to the lead. Respect. Thank

57:51

you again, but no, yes, respect

57:54

is the answer and respect for

57:56

your knowledge of soul music. Oh,

57:58

it couldn't be a show on

58:00

Max Fun without mentioning Weird Al.

58:02

Jackson's songs all with Michael's blessing,

58:04

but there was one song that

58:06

Al wanted to record that Michael

58:08

did not want him to. What

58:10

was the song that Michael thought

58:12

was too important to be parody?

58:15

Euro. Black and white. Not quite

58:17

correct. Does anyone want to jump

58:19

in and steal? Black or white?

58:21

That is correct. Let's give a

58:23

half a point to each one.

58:25

I think Jimmy says you have

58:27

for that. Yes, sorry. Yes, wrong

58:29

conjunction. All right, let's go back

58:31

to hip-hop. There was a big

58:34

rivalry between East Coast and West

58:36

Coast hip-hop artists in the 1990s,

58:38

and it was on display on

58:40

live TV one night in New

58:42

York in 1995, when performers dissed

58:44

other artists, producers, and even the

58:46

audience at what award ceremony ceremony

58:48

does escalation take place? John Mo.

58:50

B-E-T awards. That is incorrect, Christian

58:52

or Jeremy. Primer. Primer. Is it

58:55

the source awards? It is the

58:57

source awards, and I steal for

58:59

Primer. The scores can only be

59:01

different than they were before. Very

59:03

curious to see the recap as

59:05

we had into the final few.

59:07

Oh, the scores really have changed.

59:09

We've got Christian now with two

59:11

and a half, Jeremy with three

59:13

and John with four and a

59:16

half. Very, very close, and the

59:18

stakes are so high. I forgot

59:20

to mention what they are. The

59:22

Beatles Longest Studio song is on

59:24

their longest album, named either the

59:26

song or the album. Primer? Primer?

59:28

The White Album, self-titled. The White

59:30

Album, self-titled is correct. That is

59:32

the longest album Christian, moving now

59:35

into a tie for second place.

59:37

Revolution number nine, the longest studio

59:39

song by length. Finish this lyric

59:41

from Hamilton about the Federalist Papers.

59:43

John Jay got sick after writing

59:45

five James Madison wrote 29 Hamilton

59:47

wrote euro euro the other 51

59:49

I'm sorry can you say it

59:51

though as it said in the

59:53

show the other 51! Thank you

59:56

so much. We're gonna give you

59:58

a bonus half point for that

1:00:00

journey. All right, here's her next

1:00:02

question. Billy Joel's first Billboard number

1:00:04

one hit was a single from

1:00:06

the Billboard number one album Glass

1:00:08

Houses in which he inquires about

1:00:10

what's wrong with the clothes he's

1:00:12

wearing. What is the name of

1:00:14

this song? Depression. Depression. I look

1:00:17

into a lot of Billy Joel

1:00:19

when I was depressed too. Yeah,

1:00:21

no, I'm just narrating my mood

1:00:23

at having to listen to Billy

1:00:25

Joel music. Still rock and roll

1:00:27

to meet? Not exactly. Do you

1:00:29

want to give another chance? It's

1:00:31

still rock and roll. That is

1:00:33

correct. Yes, we must have our

1:00:35

contraction. We are contractually obligated for

1:00:38

that contraction. Very nice. In the

1:00:40

2020s, she received a Kennedy Center

1:00:42

honors. In the 2010s, she went

1:00:44

an Emmy for producing. In the

1:00:46

2000s, she was nominated for an

1:00:48

Oscar for acting. And in the

1:00:50

1990s, she won a Grammy for

1:00:52

wrapping. Who is this New Jersey-born

1:00:54

sensation? It is not Cher, no,

1:00:57

not the Rapping Grammy that we

1:00:59

were looking for. Depress? Depress! Queen

1:01:01

Latifah? Yes, that is correct. She

1:01:03

won her Grammy for Rapping on

1:01:05

UNITY, and that spells unity. All

1:01:07

right, here is another question regarding

1:01:09

California and music. The Aquabats got

1:01:11

their start in California, just like

1:01:13

other well-known SCA bands like Save

1:01:15

Ferris, Real Big Fish, The Hipos,

1:01:18

The Hippos, and No Dou. In

1:01:20

what county did all these bands

1:01:22

come from? Primer. Orange County, baby.

1:01:24

Orange County, that is correct, baby!

1:01:26

They might be giants, were nominated

1:01:28

for a Tony Award for a

1:01:30

song they wrote for a Broadway

1:01:32

musical about what absorbent animated character.

1:01:34

Euro. Euro, I heard first. I

1:01:36

believe that's Spongebob SquarePants. That is

1:01:39

correct. Oh, we're getting down to

1:01:41

just our last few questions. Let's

1:01:43

see if we can get a

1:01:45

score update again. Oh, here we

1:01:47

go. Oh my gosh. I think

1:01:49

we're just down to our last

1:01:51

two or three questions. And the

1:01:53

scores, well, they could be closer.

1:01:55

I was going to say they

1:01:58

could not be closer, but they

1:02:00

are pretty close. We've got Chris.

1:02:02

with a very respectable four and

1:02:04

a half Jeremy with an even

1:02:06

more respectable six and John ahead

1:02:08

just with half a point at

1:02:10

six and a half who will

1:02:12

win the shrimp will find out

1:02:14

after these two questions the band

1:02:16

Chicago earned a Grammy nomination for

1:02:19

contributing one song to what famine

1:02:21

relief album depress euro got in

1:02:23

first USA for Africa more specifically

1:02:25

we are the world That is

1:02:27

correct. And you're adding to your

1:02:29

lead John Mo now. That's shrimp.

1:02:31

I haven't eaten 48 hours, fans.

1:02:33

I agree. Okay, this will be

1:02:35

your final question. This will determine

1:02:37

maybe who gets second place. All

1:02:40

right, here's your final question of

1:02:42

the game. And you know what?

1:02:44

This will be worth three points,

1:02:46

which will decide the game. For

1:02:48

three points. What jazz fusion legend

1:02:50

is a noted Scientologist contributing to

1:02:52

space jazz the soundtrack of the

1:02:54

book battlefield earth? John for the

1:02:56

win! Chick Korea! Chick Korea is

1:02:58

correct! Congratulations! John Mo! You win

1:03:01

the shrimp! Oh, I'm gonna share

1:03:03

with everybody. Wow! I should point

1:03:05

out I don't need shrimp, and

1:03:07

I might not even want shrimp

1:03:09

that's been sent to me from

1:03:11

Minnesota, but we appreciate the effort.

1:03:13

So much. All right, well that

1:03:15

does it for us here at

1:03:17

the Hard Rock Cafe at the

1:03:20

iconic sunset strip. And while you're

1:03:22

1:03:50

spring gray 2025 I am here

1:03:52

in Daytona Beach on the Bud

1:03:54

Ice blood donation stage with Justin

1:03:56

and Clint McElroy. Pick that back

1:03:58

up, man, it's leaking everywhere. Oh,

1:04:01

oh God, yeah, yeah, if we

1:04:03

could do it. Dave, you're watching

1:04:05

your stepping, pal. Oh, wow. That'll

1:04:07

come right out with a little

1:04:09

vinegar. Hey, Dave, thanks for coming

1:04:12

by. Thank you so much for

1:04:14

having me, Justin. Clint McElroy, how

1:04:16

are you doing? I'm much better

1:04:18

now, thank you very much. I'm

1:04:20

back in my old hometown, Daytona

1:04:22

Beach. There is, must feel good

1:04:25

to be home. It is. It's

1:04:27

good to be home because all

1:04:29

my stuff's here. Yeah, you know,

1:04:31

and I really want to thank

1:04:33

both of you guys for bringing

1:04:35

some civic and social responsibility to

1:04:38

spring break and urging people to

1:04:40

donate blood here on the beach.

1:04:42

Now, what what made you decide

1:04:44

to take this step this year?

1:04:46

Well, I have been reading up

1:04:49

a lot on the effects of

1:04:51

young blood on older adults, and

1:04:53

that is so important to the

1:04:55

Max Fund Drive network that I

1:04:57

want to keep him going just

1:04:59

as long as possible. So we

1:05:02

have been asking all of our

1:05:04

Max Fund family today to come

1:05:06

in here, do their part, and

1:05:08

donate a pine if they're young,

1:05:10

virile blood for me to pump

1:05:12

into my dad, Clint McElroy. Yeah,

1:05:15

just a big old transfusion. And

1:05:17

I've come up with a bunch

1:05:19

of slogans too. Oh, let's hear

1:05:21

it. Don't be a negative person.

1:05:23

Oh. Be positive that it won't

1:05:26

hurt. Right. And give me your

1:05:28

blood. It says at the bottom

1:05:30

of all of them and give

1:05:32

me your blood. Right. Blood, it's

1:05:34

not just for breakfast anymore. I'm

1:05:36

workshop in that one. Uh, we're

1:05:39

still coming along. So yeah, we

1:05:41

appreciate everybody, Dave. It's been a

1:05:43

great success so far. Clearly look

1:05:45

fantastic your skin is absolutely growing.

1:05:47

How many pints of young blood

1:05:49

have you had today? I've had

1:05:52

seven Six of them voluntarily Wow,

1:05:54

yeah, that's which is great for

1:05:56

data a huge record. We have

1:05:58

just been so appreciative of everybody

1:06:00

donating to the Max Fund driving

1:06:03

there saying, I wish I could

1:06:05

do more. And the truth is,

1:06:07

you could tell a friend. You

1:06:09

know, you could do a little

1:06:11

bit of a boost to your

1:06:13

donation. You could do any of

1:06:16

that stuff. Or you could come

1:06:18

in here and give my dad

1:06:20

a pint of your blood. You

1:06:22

know? Some of your blood. Now,

1:06:24

I'm going to tell you, it

1:06:26

is a windy day here on

1:06:29

the beach. We are getting a

1:06:31

good amount of air sand. Sure.

1:06:33

Have you had any hygiene issues?

1:06:35

I smell the hygiene thing coming.

1:06:37

Thank you, you never, you never,

1:06:40

you never fail to disappoint. Dad,

1:06:42

go ahead. Just the usual. You

1:06:44

know, you get the gritty in

1:06:46

the eyes and that keeps you

1:06:48

from doing the gritty. Yeah. But

1:06:50

it doesn't bother you if you

1:06:53

have grit. And that's what my

1:06:55

dad has. You could, right, he

1:06:57

could take a little dirt. You

1:06:59

know what? He's not picky about

1:07:01

types either, Dave. You know, Dave.

1:07:03

any type, you know, whatever you

1:07:06

got that is ready and willing.

1:07:08

You got O, got A, B,

1:07:10

I've got an adapter for all

1:07:12

of them. So bring it on.

1:07:14

I will tell you this, the

1:07:17

sand is really kind of messing

1:07:19

with my obligatory Dracula costume that

1:07:21

I always wear at blood drives.

1:07:23

Yeah. And some people get the

1:07:25

gag. Most don't. That's okay. As

1:07:27

long as the blood keeps flowing,

1:07:30

doesn't matter. I feel the need,

1:07:32

the need for bleed. That's me.

1:07:34

Now, when I heard that there

1:07:36

was going to be a blood

1:07:38

donation area here at spring break,

1:07:40

I will tell you. Yeah. My

1:07:43

brain went to a more traditional,

1:07:45

a more familiar blood drive kind

1:07:47

of a situation where some of

1:07:49

the blood might go to people

1:07:51

who have been, let's say, in

1:07:54

accidents. Right. and need one. If

1:07:56

you find yourself with any extra

1:07:58

pints at the end of the

1:08:00

day, is it possible that some

1:08:02

of these might make their way

1:08:04

to accident victims? people in surgery.

1:08:07

Oh Dave, oh Dave, this is

1:08:09

such a sensitive topic. Sweet-hearted Dave.

1:08:11

Yeah, I mean, just to start

1:08:13

out, Dave, for starters, it's never

1:08:15

too early to start cycling out

1:08:17

blood. I am in my mid

1:08:20

40s, but a lot of these

1:08:22

folks have 10, 20 years my

1:08:24

June, you know, so I would

1:08:26

love to just top off a

1:08:28

little bit on the on the

1:08:31

vitality, even though I'm obviously much

1:08:33

more healthy than my dad. I

1:08:35

will be sort of taking on

1:08:37

myself. So, do you think it's

1:08:39

bad optics to not, you know,

1:08:41

share? I mean, because I don't

1:08:44

know, I mean, I'm 70. Well,

1:08:46

we have, we have been as

1:08:48

a prize to all donors, we've

1:08:50

been giving them to address to

1:08:52

other blood drives that are benefiting

1:08:54

the public. So that has been

1:08:57

not, I've been offering that. They

1:08:59

do have to wait some period

1:09:01

of time for the blood to,

1:09:03

we're not scientists here in the

1:09:05

tent. But the blood does need

1:09:08

to make some more of it.

1:09:10

Yeah, I'm glad you pointed out

1:09:12

you are not scientists here at

1:09:14

this blood donation. Ted. Clint, I

1:09:16

gotta say, your shirt is off,

1:09:18

your abs are tight, your tits

1:09:21

are right, you are looking like

1:09:23

a man of 22. How do

1:09:25

you feel? Well, like a man

1:09:27

of 69. Yeah. This is all

1:09:29

the filter I got on the

1:09:31

camera. If I were to switch

1:09:34

over, I would look like Gary

1:09:36

Oldman at the end of the

1:09:38

Dracula movie. It's a lot of

1:09:40

Dracula-themed content, dad. I'm worried the

1:09:42

blood is starting to go to

1:09:45

your brain. Yeah, that's the good

1:09:47

time. Yeah, when it goes, your

1:09:49

brain. Yahoo! I wish you the

1:09:51

taste fits. And it's never enough.

1:09:53

But thank you for the compliments,

1:09:55

Dave. I think I look pretty

1:09:58

sharp. Yeah. Good, I look. Now

1:10:00

one benefit to donating blood, especially

1:10:03

spring break, is that you get

1:10:05

buzzed a little bit quicker. Have

1:10:07

you used that in any of

1:10:09

your marketing material? Yeah, absolutely, David's

1:10:11

a killer competitive advantage for us.

1:10:14

Less blood means more fun, that's

1:10:16

what we say here, and we

1:10:18

actually have been filling most of

1:10:20

our blood. recreating Twinkies. It's important

1:10:22

to eat sugar after you donate

1:10:25

blood. I've seen that on TV.

1:10:27

So that is something we're doing

1:10:29

here. But we are putting alcoholic

1:10:31

cream into the Twinkies. I'm sorry,

1:10:34

you put a mention it. We

1:10:36

have a wide variety. Dave wanted

1:10:38

to ask a clarifying question about

1:10:40

the alcoholic cookies. You're putting, what

1:10:42

kind of cream in the Twinkies?

1:10:45

So it's a vodka cream, Dave.

1:10:47

But it's only for. Folks who

1:10:49

are interested in participating, obviously, you

1:10:51

can get rum filled twinkies or

1:10:53

you know, whatever sort of look

1:10:56

where you want. Of legal age.

1:10:58

Of legal age. Which here in

1:11:00

Daytona Beach is 14. 14. Yes,

1:11:02

we did bump it up last

1:11:05

year. Thanks folks. That was the

1:11:07

right move. It was the it

1:11:09

was a hard fight. But 14

1:11:11

is the right called Daytona Beach.

1:11:13

Good job. But the other snacks

1:11:16

we have are also aimed towards

1:11:18

buffing you up, building you up.

1:11:20

Right. We've got screaming, you know,

1:11:22

the zonkers. Yeah, protein, a lot

1:11:24

of protein. Space food sticks. We've

1:11:27

got pugel. Dad got that dehydrated

1:11:29

astronaut ice cream. That's been a

1:11:31

big hit today. We're moving a

1:11:33

lot of units of that. People

1:11:35

are starving after they feel flood

1:11:38

and they were willing to pay

1:11:40

any price for these snacks. So

1:11:42

we've been doing huge business there

1:11:44

too. Oh, so the snacks are

1:11:47

not free. They need to be.

1:11:49

you know you assume the snacks

1:11:51

are free much the same way

1:11:53

you assume the blood's going to

1:11:55

charity you really highlighted our killer

1:11:58

competitive advantage here people are going

1:12:00

to assume we're doing a lot

1:12:02

of great stuff that we are

1:12:04

not anywhere in the ball your

1:12:06

finger is on the pulse of

1:12:09

america and ironically yes yeah yeah

1:12:11

just Find the blood. Yeah. So

1:12:13

what do you have on your

1:12:15

agenda once we wrap things up

1:12:18

here? I think one donation tent,

1:12:20

what other spring break activities. I'm

1:12:22

changing my name because nothing here

1:12:24

that I've done today is going

1:12:26

to be favorable in the eyes

1:12:29

of John Q. Law. So I'm

1:12:31

going to go on the lamb.

1:12:33

I'm going to get out of

1:12:35

here. Go, go start a fresh

1:12:37

life for myself. I'm going to

1:12:40

clean all the grit out of

1:12:42

places where there should not be

1:12:44

grit. or sand. And then if

1:12:46

there's any time, I might, I

1:12:48

don't know, smurf, uh, smurf, I'm

1:12:51

gonna smurf a little bit on

1:12:53

my smurf board. Uh, actually, it's

1:12:55

still a family show, I... With

1:12:57

all this, with all this, with

1:13:00

all this, with all this young

1:13:02

blood, maybe I'll try skimboarding, you

1:13:04

know, where you toss it, and

1:13:06

then you jump on it and

1:13:08

fall. There's a young people active

1:13:11

activity, yeah. What if what if

1:13:13

it was just a slip and

1:13:15

suddenly? Suddenly was like, wait a

1:13:17

minute, it's like the end of

1:13:19

the usual suspects, it all comes

1:13:22

together. I would love to believe

1:13:24

that. Smith was Clint McElroy this

1:13:26

whole time. I would love to

1:13:28

believe that. I would love to

1:13:31

believe that. Smith was Clint McElroy

1:13:33

this whole time. I would love

1:13:35

to believe that. I would love

1:13:37

to believe that. Clint McElroy this.

1:13:39

That's there. And if you're in

1:13:42

Daytona Beach, get yourself here to

1:13:44

the Bud Ice blood donation while

1:13:46

the tent has blown away. So

1:13:48

we're kind of just more standing

1:13:50

on a beach at this stage.

1:13:53

But come on down. Clint needs

1:13:55

your blood. Justin merely wants it.

1:13:57

And we'll be back with more

1:13:59

MFD spring break 2025. Dreya Alonzo

1:14:02

and Dan are compiling a list

1:14:04

of their picks for the most

1:14:06

iconic or culturally impactful movies of

1:14:08

the 90s so far we have

1:14:10

clueless fight club and finally Pope

1:14:13

fiction all right next on the

1:14:15

list I would be remiss based

1:14:17

on my personal brand to not

1:14:19

bring up the new queer cinema

1:14:21

and all this if I had

1:14:24

to pick one though I think

1:14:26

I'm gonna go with 1994's go

1:14:28

fish because that is a movie

1:14:30

that I think represents the sort

1:14:32

of underground zero budget aesthetic of

1:14:35

the initial wave of new queer

1:14:37

cinema movies, but also segues us

1:14:39

into that period where indie distributors

1:14:41

realize, oh, if these movies are

1:14:44

funny and they have a love

1:14:46

story, we could actually maybe sell

1:14:48

tickets to some straight people. We

1:14:50

have totally different taste in women.

1:14:52

Are you saying I don't have

1:14:55

discriminating taste in women? I was

1:14:57

a dike when you were still

1:14:59

in diapers kiddo. So to me

1:15:01

it kind of feels like this

1:15:03

tipping point between like your sort

1:15:06

of Gregoraki you know Todd Haynes

1:15:08

directing Poison aesthetic and then you're

1:15:10

you're later you know like trick

1:15:12

and all over the guy and

1:15:15

Jeffrey and those movies that were

1:15:17

very much kind of pitched at

1:15:19

a somewhat wider audience than just

1:15:21

angry queer urbanites. And it still

1:15:23

holds up, you know, 30 plus

1:15:26

years later. It's still super charming

1:15:28

and a lot of fun and

1:15:30

one of my one of my

1:15:32

favorite queer films. So yeah, go

1:15:34

fish. What else? Right the start

1:15:37

of the 90s, 91, Science of

1:15:39

the Lambs, you know, draws on...

1:15:41

a lot of stuff that came

1:15:43

before but I think really created

1:15:46

the serial killer movie as it

1:15:48

exists now sort of and unfortunately

1:15:50

on the other like created the

1:15:52

idea of like the brilliant serial

1:15:54

killer. How is young Josh and

1:15:57

the lovely Molly? They're always in

1:15:59

my thoughts you know you will

1:16:01

not persuade me with appeals to

1:16:03

my intellectual vanity rather than the

1:16:05

serial killer who's just a loser

1:16:08

in a basement. who lost his

1:16:10

empathy somewhere along the way. So

1:16:12

many movies owe so much of

1:16:14

their DNA to it. And finally,

1:16:16

Dreya? All right, I'm gonna say

1:16:19

1998's Rushmore. It's Wes Anderson's second

1:16:21

film, but for a lot of

1:16:23

people, this was the breakthrough. They

1:16:25

maybe didn't make it to Bottle

1:16:28

Rocket, Rushmore. color. It introduced you

1:16:30

to what's become a very iconic

1:16:32

and consistent color palette framing device

1:16:34

like his visual storytelling his cinematic

1:16:36

language is established in Rushmore and

1:16:39

that also includes very vibrant yet

1:16:41

dead pan characters like Max Fisher

1:16:43

which is Jason Swartzman memorable nerdy

1:16:45

complicated heartbreaking all sorts of wonderful

1:16:47

things. Murray this continued through many

1:16:50

films. Obviously Owen Wilson popping up

1:16:52

again. It's also quotable, but like

1:16:54

my favorite quote from that one

1:16:56

would be when he sees Luke

1:16:59

Wilson in his scrubs. I like

1:17:01

your nurse's uniform guy. These are

1:17:03

O.R. scrubs. O. Are they? Which

1:17:05

is something I say to people

1:17:07

all the time and no one

1:17:10

understands. I'm quoting something. That's a

1:17:12

big line in this house. Oh,

1:17:14

are they? Yeah, yeah. And there

1:17:16

you have it. I for one,

1:17:18

I'm looking forward to re-watching all

1:17:21

of these films in the Orville

1:17:23

Red and Bocker extreme amounts of

1:17:25

movie theater butter microwave popcorn screening

1:17:27

room. Nope. Y'all, I have just

1:17:30

gotten word that Secret Histories of

1:17:32

nerd mysteries Austin Taylor has just

1:17:34

dropped by the 90s pop culture

1:17:36

appreciation Cabana. Let's take a look.

1:17:38

Because maybe, you're gonna be the

1:17:41

one that saves me. And after

1:17:43

all, you're my wonderwall. What

1:17:55

a way to kick off

1:17:57

MFD spring break 2025. We

1:17:59

1:18:01

1:18:55

Dave, if you're planning on coming back

1:18:57

this way, I beg that you not,

1:18:59

all this young blood has driven my

1:19:02

dad insane and he's super strong. He

1:19:04

is uprooting to- Ah! Dad, put it

1:19:06

down! Put it down! To the extreme!

1:19:08

Wow, dudes! Dad, that is Jesse Thorn.

1:19:11

He is a hero here. Put him

1:19:13

down! All right. I just love his

1:19:15

ass, God!
