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 Bike 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

1:23

anything to add it's the gay Super

1:25

Bowl it is it's just a bunch

1:27

of spectacle a bunch of lights a

1:29

bunch of good times Oscar thank you

1:31

for pointing out that it is lit

1:33

they don't have it in the dark

1:35

like some song Jeremy? My standard line

1:37

for describing what Eurovision is, is that

1:39

it is street fighter but with music.

1:42

There you go. Now I found out,

1:44

the three of you, we're going to host

1:46

the world's largest dance party at the

1:48

dance pavilion sponsored by Dunkaroos and Hollister.

1:50

So I was a little jealous. But

1:52

then I realized I could fly over.

1:54

I could attend this dance party and

1:56

you guys have all the pressure of

1:58

organizing it. So... We are about 10

2:01

minutes from the start of your dance

2:03

party before you take the stage as

2:05

a three-headed DJ. Can you give us

2:07

a little preview of a spring break

2:09

appropriate Eurovision songs that you have

2:12

selected to play and why? It's

2:14

a shame people can't see the

2:16

three-headed DJ costume. Yeah, pretty cool.

2:19

I should let our Eurovision experts

2:21

take stage first. Let's kick it

2:23

off the right way as we

2:26

stand next to the River Rhine.

2:28

I think there's no better song

2:30

for your Eurovision spring break playlist.

2:33

Then of course, Greece 2001 with

2:35

Die for You by Antique. We

2:47

have future Eurovision winner Eleanor

2:49

Paparizu performing with a dear

2:51

friend a wonderful early 2000s

2:53

dance pop that's all about

2:56

the devotion to your loved

2:58

one even into the point

3:00

of death. That is an

3:02

excellent leadoff clip to Metri. Who's

3:04

got next? Listen, when I think

3:07

about spring break, I think about

3:09

MTV spring break, I think people

3:11

in scantily clad bathing suits and

3:13

Cancun sort of partying, and I

3:15

kind of want to go back

3:18

to that mid-90s kind of vibe

3:20

with a song that kind of

3:22

hit in the US, but no

3:24

one really knows that it's a

3:26

Eurovision song. I'm picking ooh-ah just

3:29

a little bit from the UK

3:31

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

3:54

of those rare Eurovision songs that

3:56

crossed over. Now, it only crossed

3:58

over so far. as far as

4:00

the gay clubs of 1996 and 1997.

4:02

It did get too much further than

4:04

that, but that's enough. Counts. But as

4:07

we know, as we know, the gay

4:09

clubs in the 90s set the culture

4:11

for the rest of us. So, when

4:13

it was cool at the gays, it

4:15

was cool with everybody. Now, speaking of cool

4:17

with the gays, you need a

4:19

song that's gonna get everybody on

4:21

the dance floor moving and like

4:23

just going crazy. And so I

4:25

need to celebrate. Perhaps

4:28

the greatest

4:31

drag performer

4:34

in Eurovision

4:37

history. I'm

4:39

talking Ukraine's

4:42

2007 Verka

4:45

Sertuchka with

4:47

their song

4:50

Densing La

4:53

Shatumbai. This came

4:55

in second place and it's also a

4:57

great anti-Russia imperialism song so we love

4:59

that as well. In your face Putin.

5:02

Never more topical than me now. I

5:04

would like to slide one in if

5:06

I could. Dave of course. You're you're

5:09

your evangelist too. Who knows

5:11

spring break right over the Dave

5:13

Holmes. Well that's very true. There

5:15

is a song from I believe

5:17

the year was 1973 to Eurovision

5:19

winner. And it really encapsulates what

5:22

the whole thing is. It was

5:24

1975. It was 1975. Was it

5:26

1975? Do you know what I'm

5:28

going to say? I'm assuming you're

5:30

going to go with Ding-a-Dong. You

5:32

know that's right. 1975 from Netherlands.

5:35

Netherlands. Netherlands. And I know

5:37

the line is a big hit, but

5:39

it really sounds like Ding-a-Dong listen

5:41

to it. Maybe it's a biggen.

5:54

But I love it. It makes

5:57

no sense. And it's so 1973

5:59

or 2005. It's everything. I prefer

6:01

maybe it's a bigot. That's funnier

6:03

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

6:06

all saying to ourselves. When we

6:08

meet someone new, maybe it's a

6:10

bigot. It's happening a lot these

6:12

days. It is happening a lot

6:15

these days. Okay, I'm seeing the

6:17

stage manager trying to get your

6:19

attention, which means we are almost

6:22

out of time. So let's jump

6:24

ahead to your crescendo songs. What

6:26

are your, what are your closing

6:28

bangers Jeremy? Boy, okay. I am

6:31

the resident rock fan at Eurovision

6:33

and obviously pop and rock have

6:35

a symbiosis that it goes back

6:38

many many decades but never has

6:40

it been more truly expressed at

6:42

Eurovision than in 2006 with Lordy's

6:45

hard rock hallelujah. Just

7:03

imagining hitting a high right when

7:05

hard rock. Hallelujah drops in I

7:07

don't know feels pretty good to

7:09

me. I like it Oscar the

7:11

Eurovision gave us a but it

7:14

also gave us a two-time winner

7:16

in lorine and listen I am

7:18

a diehard lorine Stan and if

7:20

you're talking about spring break Bob

7:22

a song that will get everybody

7:24

moving will be euphoria by loria

7:26

by lorine the winner of the

7:28

2012 Eurovision song contest This

7:43

is like the big the climax

7:46

of the night when the beat

7:48

drops and Lorene starts singing euphoria

7:50

All the foam just falls down

7:52

and everyone's having good time Oscar

7:55

you might be the first person

7:57

I've ever talked to who had

7:59

a who had a positive experience

8:02

in a phone party Yeah to

8:04

me tree look like you said

8:06

our excitement is beat our hearts

8:09

are beating like a drum in

8:11

fact there's a Eurovision song that

8:13

talks about your heart beating like

8:16

a drum when you're dancing out

8:18

partying with the one you love

8:20

I'm talking about turkey 2009 doom

9:16

sales. Monse. Monse. All right. You guys.

9:18

9:21

Concord and head back to South Padre

9:25

Island. Thank you very much for taking

9:28

9:39

Coming up, we'll check in with Hal

9:42

Lublin, who's hanging out at the 90s

9:44

pop culture appreciation cabana. Pele speaks righteous,

9:46

sister Zeno? Says funky. I'm sorry. Hal

9:49

bazaar. Hal bazaar. Hal bazaar. But first,

9:51

it's show versus show versus show versus

9:53

show. As go fact yourselves, Jay Keith

9:56

Van Stratton hosts an epic trivia showdown.

9:58

with secretly incredibly fascinating's Alex Schmidt. Secret

10:00

histories of nerd mysteries Brenda Snell. Let's

10:03

learn everything's Tom Lum and from just

10:05

the zoo of us Ellen Weatherford. All

10:07

right, the person who gets the most

10:09

questions correct will have gotten the most

10:12

questions correct. Here's how it's going to

10:14

work. I'm going to ask you a

10:16

question. If you know the answer, say

10:19

the first word in your show name

10:21

and the first one to call out

10:23

and guess first. Please wait for me

10:26

to call on you and let's practice

10:28

our buzz in words Ellen. What's your

10:30

buzz in word? Just Alex I'm gonna

10:33

go with siff because it's fast siff

10:35

Brenda secret and Tom let's all right

10:37

here is your first question here we

10:40

go the X-Men belonged to a long

10:42

line of fantastic characters which started with

10:44

the human torch in 1939 from timely

10:47

publications Timley's name changed to Atlas comics

10:49

in the 1950 and it changed to

10:51

what name in 1961 in 1961 Secret.

10:54

What's Secret I heard first. Marvel. Marvel

10:56

is correct and Secret is on the

10:58

board. Very nice job Brenda. Here is

11:01

your next question. Cheers has one of

11:03

television's most memorable theme songs written by

11:05

Gary Portnoy and Judy Hart Angelo. Although

11:08

it's known as The Theme from Cheers,

11:10

what is the actual title of the

11:12

theme song? Secret. Secret? Is it called

11:15

where everybody knows your name or no?

11:17

Well, this is the part where you

11:19

answer instead of ask. So if you

11:22

were to phrase that as an answer,

11:24

is it not jeopardy rules? No, no,

11:26

not jeopardy rules. Oh, there's a confidence

11:29

then. Is it where everybody knows your

11:31

name? It is where everybody knows your

11:33

name secret, running away with it so

11:36

far. Two, to nothing, to nothing, to

11:38

nothing. Let's see if the others could

11:40

get on the board. Oh, who here

11:43

loves sports? That's what I thought. I'm

11:45

wearing a bench on him. You are.

11:48

On March 10th 1955 the Zamboni

11:50

made its debut in what professional

11:52

sports league Let's just that's I

11:55

heard first The NHL that is

11:57

correct Tom and Let's learn everything

11:59

are on the board. A national

12:01

hockey league. Fun fact, Zamboni is

12:03

a registered trademark of the Zamboni

12:06

company and they are very protective

12:08

of their trademark. Here's your next

12:10

one. The movie Kill Bill volume

12:12

one opens with the quote, revenge

12:14

is a dish best served cold,

12:17

which is credited to a proverb

12:19

of what species of Star Trek

12:21

aliens. Just, I heard. Klingon is

12:23

correct and I can't believe we

12:26

had that much of a delay

12:28

regarding a Star Trek quest. There's

12:30

a lot of Star Trek aliens,

12:32

okay? Yeah, there are. It loops

12:34

back around. If you know too

12:37

much, then you're like, well, it

12:39

could be. Exactly. I was on

12:41

a Mind Palace about patholians. I

12:43

was like lost somewhere. Yeah. All

12:45

right, here we go with our

12:48

next question. We've got a game

12:50

going now. As shown in the

12:52

musical, Alexander, Alexander Hamilton was the

12:54

United States first secretary of what.

12:56

So I think that was Alex,

12:59

yes? The Treasury? That is correct.

13:01

$10 founding father for Secretary of

13:03

Treasury. Treasure your state. Treasure your

13:05

state. Treasury. All right, here's your

13:07

next question. According to one of

13:10

TV's Twilight Zone's openings, you're traveling

13:12

through another dimension, a dimension not

13:14

only of sight and sound, but

13:16

of what? Secret? Secret? I literally

13:18

just listened to this, but of

13:21

mind? Fine. That is my answer.

13:23

That is your answer. The confidence

13:25

is growing and with good reason.

13:27

That is correct. Sight and sound

13:29

of mine. There's literally like that

13:32

in like what I'm doing for

13:34

this week's episode of the podcast.

13:36

I literally just watched that opening.

13:38

Was that a coincidence or did

13:40

we conspire to help you get

13:43

that answer correct? This goes all

13:45

the way to the top. All

13:47

the way. An episode. Here's your

13:49

next question. Tom Lehrer noted for

13:51

his song on the electric company,

13:54

there's a certain magic letter that

13:56

can turn a can into a

13:58

cane, turn a pan into a

14:00

pain, and make a little hug,

14:03

become huge instantly if you just

14:05

add what quiet vowel. Just secret.

14:07

I heard just first. E. More

14:09

specifically is. Silent E. Silent E

14:11

is the answer we're looking for.

14:14

That is the wonderful song with

14:16

wonderful animation by the wonderful Tom

14:18

Larer. What is the proper term

14:20

for the motion caps make by

14:22

rhythmically alternating their paws pushing in

14:25

and out against a pliable object?

14:27

Just. Needing? Needing is correct. Yes,

14:29

needing otherwise known as making biscuits.

14:31

Making biscuits, yes. It's one of

14:33

my favorite cute things that kitties

14:36

do. I like that it's still

14:38

a baking term. I thought it

14:40

was going to be much more

14:42

scientific or allergy or something. All

14:44

right, let's move on to our

14:47

next question. This one has to

14:49

do with Canada and food. In

14:51

the early part of the 2000,

14:53

thieves stole 3,000 tons of what

14:55

Canadian food stuff valued at $18.7

14:58

million. Of course, that's Canadian dollars.

15:00

Let's... Oh, Canadian dollars, never mind.

15:02

Uh, no, maple syrup? Maple syrup

15:04

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

15:06

of maple syrup. Fun fact, Canada

15:09

has a cartel that controls over

15:11

70% of the world's supply of

15:13

maple syrup, but I know a

15:15

guy if you want to take.

15:17

He makes blue, he makes blue

15:20

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

15:22

pure, so pure. All right, here's

15:24

our next question. Anxiety over World

15:26

War II breaking out in Europe

15:28

led some handbags to be designed

15:31

with a stylish compartment to hold

15:33

what life-saving device. Just. A knife.

15:35

A knife, incorrect, but I... That

15:37

definitely is handy in New York.

15:39

Siff. Siff? Bigger knife. That's right,

15:42

they would say, now that's a

15:44

knife. Yeah. Yeah. No. Any other

15:46

guesses? Let's. A gas mask? Gas

15:48

mask that's ridiculous and correct oh

15:51

nice it seems the gas mask

15:53

is mightier than the knife I

15:55

love playing rock paper gas mask

15:57

yes that's right respirators or gas

15:59

masks were part of a line

16:02

of luxury handbags that were designed

16:04

and sold near World War, excuse

16:06

me, around World War II and

16:08

Europe. The Chanel Gas Mask? Yeah,

16:10

I am. Who are you wearing?

16:13

All right, let's move on. Here's

16:15

some questions about improv comedy. He

16:17

was an acclaimed writer-director, producer, and

16:19

actor. She is an acclaimed writer-director,

16:21

producer, and actor. And together, they're

16:24

probably the greatest improv duo of

16:26

all time, whose comedy records made

16:28

the pop music charts and won

16:30

the Grammy. Who are they? Sif?

16:32

Sif. Nichols and May. Yes, we

16:35

also would have accepted May and

16:37

Nichols. Yes, Nichols and May, of

16:39

course, is correct. The Grammy-winning comedy

16:41

duo. Any fans are breaking bad

16:43

here? Well, let's how you do

16:46

anyway on this. I made that

16:48

reference about the blue thing. Oh,

16:50

you did! So Tom, fake fan,

16:52

fake fan. Big fan. Big, fake

16:54

fan. Well, there are some rabid

16:57

fans of Breaking Bad, some of

16:59

whom like to visit the actual

17:01

filming locations of the show in

17:03

Albuquerque and recreate some of the

17:05

show's iconic moments. This led show

17:08

creator Vince Gilligan to beg fans

17:10

to stop going to the actual

17:12

house used as Walter White's home

17:14

and throwing what large circular food

17:16

on the roof. Let. Let's

17:19

I think you were in first.

17:21

Yeah, you're in first. I was

17:23

I was gonna buzz in the

17:26

moment you said house I knew

17:28

what this is gonna be. This

17:30

is throwing pizzas on the roof.

17:32

That is correct. Yes. Exactly. Yes.

17:35

Please do not throw pizzas on

17:37

the roof. Please bring them to

17:39

my doorstep. All right another TV

17:42

question while the TV show Roseanne

17:44

gained acclaim for its depiction of

17:46

a working class family season season.

17:48

Secret. Secret? Um, Roseanne won the

17:51

lottery. That is correct. Yes, you

17:53

won the question and Roseanne won

17:55

the lottery. Hey, let's get a

17:57

score update as we ahead into

18:00

the final friendship questions. We've got

18:02

Alex with two, we've got Ellen

18:04

with three, and we've got a

18:06

tie at the top, Brenda and

18:09

Tom with four, a very close

18:11

game. Anybody could win, but we

18:13

probably know it's not going to

18:15

be one of these people. All

18:18

right, here we can close with

18:20

our next question. I didn't say

18:22

the name, but you just got

18:24

directed at me, and I'm OK

18:27

with it. No, that's a nice.

18:29

No. Again, the stakes could not

18:31

be lower. Much of the film

18:33

Ed Wood involves the making of

18:36

what critics Michael and Harry Medved

18:38

would later call the worst film

18:40

ever made. What sci-fi film featuring

18:42

Chriswell, Vampire and Bellow Legosie do

18:45

we get to see come to

18:47

life? Siff? Siff. Siff. Is this

18:49

one plan 9 for Matter Space?

18:52

Very nice. Very nice job. The

18:54

musical Les Misahabla is based on

18:56

the novel Les Misahabla, published in

18:58

1862. Who is the author of

19:01

that novel? Secret. Just. Secret. It

19:03

is, um... Oh my gosh, I

19:05

blanked on it. I relent. Ellen,

19:07

you were the next one in.

19:10

Hugo. Victor Hugo is correct. In

19:12

the season 3 episode of the

19:14

Brady Bunches, her sister's shadow, Jan

19:16

complains about not getting the kind

19:19

of attention one of her siblings

19:21

gets. In doing so, what name

19:23

does Jan memorably repeat three times?

19:25

SIF. SIF. Marsha, Marsha, Marsha. That

19:28

is correct, correct, correct. Why, I

19:30

think it was Bloody Mary. Oh

19:32

god, oh no, I'm calling down

19:34

the stairs, she pushed me down

19:37

stairs. As long as you don't

19:39

say beetle juice or candy man,

19:41

I think we're okay. All right,

19:43

ladies and gentlemen, we are all

19:46

tied up at four, all tied

19:48

up, everybody is currently in the

19:50

lead. Oh my god! And it

19:52

is gonna come down to this

19:55

one last question. In Ontario Canada,

19:57

more than 75% of milk is

19:59

sold in what type of container.

20:02

Secret? Bags! Bags is correct, congratulations!

20:04

Congratulations Brenda. Oh, this very important

20:06

very exciting trivia showdown. Congratulations. Well,

20:08

hey, everybody I want to thank

20:11

you Tom Lum. Ellen Weather for

20:13

Brenda Snell and Alex Schmidt. Now,

20:15

where can listeners who aren't here

20:17

with us at the Long Beach

20:20

Convention Center promenade meeting room find

20:22

20:24

ahead and tell us? Just the

20:26

zoo of us on Maximum Fun,

20:29

wherever you get podcasts. And Alex?

20:31

Yeah, it's secretly incredibly fascinating if

20:33

you search secretly in a podcast

20:35

app that's the red one. And

20:38

Tom. Where Let's Learn Everything. We

20:40

did a topic about bagged milk

20:42

20:44

to learn some more about that.

20:47

Amazing and Brenda. You find me

20:49

21:16

an exclusive interview with Auburn College

21:18

Students and Guy Who Died, Thatcherie

21:21

21:23

I was pronounced legally dead and

21:25

I saw heaven itself. But first,

21:27

here's Mike Cabalan on stage at

21:30

the 90s pop culture appreciation cabana.

21:32

Appreciating for non-blons, what's up? So

21:34

I cry sometimes when I'm lying

21:36

in bed. Just to get it

21:39

all out. You know, what's in

21:41

my head? And I am feeling

21:43

a little peculiar. And so I

21:45

wake in the morning and I

21:48

step outside and I take a

21:50

deep breath and I get real

21:52

high and I scream from the

21:54

top of my lungs. What's going

21:57

on? Mike Kablon, everybody. If you're

21:59

foot pain. Leather shoes with

24:06

2025. We are in the Frutopia

24:08

One-on-1-1 interview lounge. I am Dave

24:11

Holmes. We're the young man. Who's

24:13

down here all the way from

24:15

Auburn University? He's a little bit

24:18

of a spring break celebrity. Please

24:20

welcome Thatcher Sawyer. Hi Thatcher. Oh

24:22

Dave, it's great to be here.

24:24

I can't wait to share my

24:27

story with everybody. We can't wait

24:29

to be shared in that story.

24:31

Yeah, go Sandpipers. Go Sandpipers! We're

24:33

the number one school in rowing,

24:36

lacrosse, and shorts. Yeah, and an

24:38

excellent pair of shorts on you

24:40

right now, Thatcher. Madras never looked

24:42

so good. So you had a

24:45

bit of an interesting experience at

24:47

spring break last year. Why don't

24:49

you tell us about it? Well,

24:52

Dave, during spring break last year,

24:54

I legally died. Thatcher. I was

24:56

pronounced legally dead, and I saw

24:58

heaven itself. Okay, back me up

25:01

a few steps, Thatcher. What happened?

25:03

What were the circumstances of your

25:05

spring break death? I was a

25:07

tragic victim of mixing. Obviously I

25:10

know this now, but like I

25:12

just want to say it, all

25:14

the young people out there, if

25:17

you're partying, if you're throwing down,

25:19

just watch for mixing because I

25:21

unfortunately mixed Kila Celsius and being

25:23

on a balcony that collapsed. Wow,

25:26

that's a difficult combination. Because of

25:28

that, I was legally dead for

25:30

14 minutes, but was... brought back

25:32

to life by heroic EMTs, they're

25:35

the real heroes, but you know

25:37

in the time that I was

25:39

gone I was fortunate enough to

25:41

see heaven, to see the other

25:44

side and to see what await

25:46

It's us, you know, after the

25:48

party's over. I have so many

25:51

questions about the afterlife. I'm just

25:53

gonna start, what does it smell

25:55

like? I mean, it's just got

25:57

this wonderful smoky smell, right? Like

26:00

a smoky, sulfur, charcoal, like, you

26:02

ever, like, catch your flesh on

26:04

fire? You ever, like, catch your

26:06

hair or flesh on fire, like,

26:09

maybe you fall in a bonfire?

26:11

You get too drunk at a

26:13

bonfire? Yeah. So it smells a

26:15

little bit like when human flesh

26:18

burns? just like just like gorgeous

26:20

smells in heaven wow oh god

26:22

yeah so like a little bit

26:25

like a like a fire pit

26:27

or a Korean barbecue but but

26:29

human flesh yeah human flesh exactly

26:31

it's kind of got a got

26:34

a stench a kind of a

26:36

reek you know but like you

26:38

know I was into it the

26:40

music playing in heaven is it

26:43

what you're listening to when you

26:45

die or is there special heaven

26:47

afterlife music you know I assumed

26:50

I would be up there Jamming

26:52

with the grates. I play a

26:54

little guitar Dave. You know that

26:56

I play a little guitar. I

26:59

didn't know that but I did

27:01

assume people love it when they're

27:03

at a party with me and

27:05

I break out the acoustic and

27:08

I throw down a little buffalo

27:10

soldier No matter

27:12

what's playing on the stereo.

27:14

It's a song of Revolution

27:16

Dave. And it speaks so

27:18

directly to your own personal

27:20

experiences. Exactly. I've had a

27:23

lot of hardship. You know,

27:25

Bob Marley, he gets me.

27:27

Anyway, what I was assuming

27:29

was that I would be

27:31

in heaven, jamming with Hendrix,

27:33

Bob Marley, the one guy

27:35

from Dave Matthews Band that

27:37

died. I didn't really see

27:39

many, many musicians. There was

27:41

this really cool guy though,

27:44

Genghis Khan. Or Big Brother.

27:46

No, I think he was

27:48

like a leader or something.

27:50

Not a history guy. I'm

27:52

more of just like a

27:54

school of life kind of

27:56

guy. Yeah. He's great with

27:58

percussion and he had this

28:00

friend there vlog the Impaler.

28:02

Is he a tick-tocker? He's

28:05

a tick-tocker. Maybe he might

28:07

be a tick-talker. I have

28:09

like a different tick-talk algorithm

28:11

than most people. I'm on

28:13

cross-talk, which is like cross-fit

28:15

and talking over each other.

28:17

That's my tick-talk algorithm. But

28:19

this guy was really cool

28:21

and you know we had

28:23

a little drum circle and

28:26

it was like just really

28:28

cool and like expressive and

28:30

spiritual. It was kind of

28:32

right up your alley the

28:34

afterlife. Oh yeah. Something pulled

28:36

you back. I'm just curious

28:38

what that was. Yeah, you

28:40

know, I think I just

28:42

realized that I had a

28:44

lot of unfinished business to

28:47

take care of here on

28:49

earth. Of course, I have

28:51

my great-girlfriend Kendra. and she

28:53

and I were supposed to

28:55

go to a wedding so

28:57

I didn't want to like

28:59

miss out on that. It

29:01

was her cousin who's really

29:03

cool, who's kind of like

29:05

a cousin to me in

29:08

many ways. I have a

29:10

lot of great ideas for

29:12

apps so I think I

29:14

like wanted to make sure

29:16

that like I get some

29:18

of these apps off the

29:20

ground and of course Dave

29:22

Matthews Band is touring in

29:24

our first film business and

29:26

our first film is... a

29:29

dramatization of your story. Yeah,

29:31

it was just like really

29:33

exciting. Of course, like my

29:35

uncle's an executive at Miramax,

29:37

so he like fast-tracked it.

29:39

Just a really, really good

29:41

script from Diablo Cody. She

29:43

was fun to work with.

29:45

She really responded well to

29:48

my many notes. Yeah, I

29:50

think I'm just like really

29:52

excited to like finally. Tell

29:54

the story of a straight

29:56

white guy that died and

29:58

hopefully others can be inspired

30:00

by my journey. And Thatcher,

30:02

you brought a scene? Can

30:04

you set it up for

30:06

us? Yeah, this is the

30:09

pivotal scene where the heroic

30:11

EMTs bring me back from

30:13

heaven. Can you just tell

30:15

me if my boyfriend is

30:17

even alive? I'm doing compressions.

30:19

Come on, dude. Take a

30:21

broth! Think about the memes

30:23

that you might go on

30:25

to send to your friends

30:27

and family. Look at those

30:30

madras slacks. I see his

30:32

eyes fluttering. There's life in

30:34

those eyes. Yeah, man. What

30:36

are Clint and Justin McElroy

30:38

up to in Daytona Beach?

30:40

Be positive that it won't

30:42

hurt. Right. And give me

30:44

your blood. Still ahead, the

30:46

segment MFD's lawyers don't want

30:48

us to do. It's gonna

30:51

be wild. I love watching

30:53

wrestling and talking about wrestling

30:55

and interviewing wrestlers. It's pretty

30:57

cool. You know I'm able

30:59

to do all these incredible

31:01

things. Because a friend didn't

31:03

let me mix tequila and

31:05

Celsius and step out onto

31:07

a wobbly balcony in South

31:09

Beach. Friends don't let other

31:12

friends mix on balconies. Hey

31:14

there I am Dave Holmes

31:16

and you are experiencing the

31:18

MFD 2025 spring break spectacular.

31:20

I'm at the Fruit by

31:22

the Foot party animal pavilion.

31:24

In South Padre Island where

31:26

hundreds of party animals had

31:28

been competing all day long.

31:30

for our first annual Golden

31:33

Chalice Trophy. And you can

31:35

hear just how wild it

31:37

is. We're down to our

31:39

final contestants. And the winner

31:41

today will be going home

31:43

with this rad Golden Chalice

31:45

filled with the party animal's

31:47

favorite snack. So without further

31:49

ado, let's say bonjour to

31:51

our remaining handlers. From Dr

31:54

Game Show, Manolo Moreno. Your

31:56

Evangelists Jeremy Bent! Let's learn

31:58

everything's Tom Lum and from

32:00

just the zoo of us,

32:02

Ellen Weatherford. First up, Manolo

32:04

Moreno. Now your buddy here

32:06

is really going to town

32:08

on those bagel bites, proving

32:10

the adage that when pizza's

32:12

on a bagel, you can

32:15

have pizza any time. Who's

32:17

your friend here? I brought

32:19

a party pig. His name is

32:21

Pigga Chad. Here he is right

32:23

now. There he is. Now what's

32:26

his name again? Pig at Chad,

32:28

he just said that he was

32:30

annoyed by the flight because people

32:32

kept telling him to go under

32:35

the seat. He said, yeah, he

32:37

said he wanted to fly the

32:39

plane. Wow, you know what? You

32:41

could do a lot worse these

32:43

days. So I understand you actually

32:46

speak pig, that's impressive. Yeah, I

32:48

mostly understand it. I'm too

32:51

embarrassed. You don't speak it,

32:53

you do. Yeah, I interpret

32:55

it and read it. You

32:58

mostly don't like, where's the

33:00

bathroom, stuff like that. Yeah,

33:02

yeah, which is weird because

33:05

my pig likes traveling. Yeah,

33:07

he likes traveling. He just

33:09

came back from France and

33:12

he learned some French, if

33:14

you want to hear what

33:16

he said, he said. Le,

33:19

leh, leh, leh. And

33:21

yeah, that does mean.

33:23

Where is the bathroom?

33:25

He is multilingual. So

33:27

when did you realize,

33:29

Manolo, that Pigga Chad

33:31

liked to party? I

33:33

heard him down the

33:35

street at his, uh,

33:37

those party houses. He

33:40

likes singing this song.

33:42

And that's when I

33:45

knew. Jeremy bent who

33:47

you got with you.

33:49

And why do they

33:51

like to party? These

33:53

are bonobos, Dave. Bonobos.

33:55

Yeah. Our closest non-human

33:57

relative. But also animals.

34:00

to party. Wow, what do you

34:02

mean by that? Okay, so these

34:04

animals, they're very close to humans,

34:06

they're another, they're a fellow primate,

34:08

they're one of two animals within

34:10

the chimp family, because bonobos are

34:13

type of chimp, but they are

34:15

the only animal that exhibits a

34:17

similar behavior to us humans, they

34:19

tongue kiss, just like we do.

34:21

So these animals like to get

34:23

down. Yeah. Jeremy, what are your

34:26

bonobos named? When I first met

34:28

them, they told me their names

34:30

are Manny and Tess. Manny and

34:32

Tess. So when did you realize

34:34

that your bonobos like to throw

34:37

down? Well, you know, once you

34:39

see, you know, a big community

34:41

of bonobos in action, you realize

34:43

that like, oh, they like, they

34:45

like to get it on. They

34:47

have sex for pleasure, they do

34:50

it frequently, they do it with

34:52

the... multiple partners, but they also

34:54

are known to have long friendships

34:56

and lengthy relationships as well. They're

34:58

just like a good time gang

35:00

bonobos. All right. You seem like

35:03

you actually did some work and

35:05

research, Jeremy Bent. I'm taken by

35:07

surprise. Tom Lum, who got with

35:09

you? Well, I thought one of

35:11

the most and underrated factors of

35:14

a party animal is a chill

35:16

hang, and so I brought perhaps

35:18

the most chillest hanger in the

35:20

world, the sloth. as my party

35:22

animal. Wow. People don't often know

35:24

they're nocturnal, so they'll be up

35:27

all night. They are literally cold

35:29

blooded and their temperature will change

35:31

up to 20 degrees Fahrenheit within

35:33

a single day because they don't

35:35

care. They'll just, hey, you know

35:38

what, I'll rock with whatever we're

35:40

rocking with. That's so important to

35:42

the art of partying is resilience.

35:44

Tom Lum, does your sloth have

35:46

a name? Piggy Chad S. Yeah,

35:48

like on The Bachelor. Finally, Ellen

35:51

Weatherford, who's with you, and why

35:53

do they like to party? Well,

35:55

I've brought only two to three

35:57

hundred of my closest friends. I've

35:59

brought a colony of Western honeybees,

36:01

Apis. So, you know, I feel

36:04

like there's no bigger bummer than

36:06

getting to a party in realizing

36:08

that it's like all dudes. So

36:10

I figured I would bring, you

36:12

know, a few hundred females, because

36:15

in a honeybee colony, the only

36:17

males are a few sort of

36:19

like, they're basically just there for

36:21

reproduction occasionally, and everyone else is

36:23

all females. So I brought some

36:25

literal fly honeys. Oh lie, honey's.

36:28

Now talk to me about their

36:30

partying strategies and likes and dislikes.

36:32

They are extremely social. They bring

36:34

snacks to the party. When they

36:36

collect pollen, they attach pollen to

36:38

their body and then they process

36:41

it into something called bee bread.

36:43

So they are bringing snacks to

36:45

share. They also communicate with dance

36:47

moves, which I feel like there's

36:49

nothing more party than that. So

36:52

true. We will be back later

36:54

this hour from the Fruit by

36:56

the Foot party pavilion to see

36:58

which of these competitors will go

37:00

home with the Golden Chalice. While

37:02

we take a break, our judges,

37:05

Lori Petty, Gerardo, and the guy

37:07

who plays the guitar player in

37:09

California Dreams, the show that is

37:11

like, say, by the bell, but

37:13

it's banned instead of high school.

37:16

They will review our contestants and

37:18

come to a decision. Stick around

37:20

for more MFD spring break. Have

37:22

you experienced trouble breathing, throbbing pain,

37:24

paralysis and severe tissue damage due

37:26

to a bite by someone else's

37:29

cobra? Has being slapped and or

37:31

hurled in the air by an

37:33

unsecured elephant caused you undue hardship?

37:35

Did you die for 14 minutes

37:37

because of a building coat violation?

37:39

Hi, I'm Sweet John, personal injury

37:42

lawyer. If you think life would

37:44

be easier with millions of dollars

37:46

in your bank account and feeling

37:48

back in your extremities, you're right.

37:50

I've won hundreds of negligence laws.

37:53

and gotten my client's huge payouts.

37:55

Clients like Cindy Newberry, $80,000 for

37:57

a botched manicure on her wedding

37:59

day. Or Jeff Ziplik awarded $2

38:01

million after a nasty fall in

38:03

a home he was robbing. If

38:06

something bad happened to you, even

38:08

if it was your fault, you

38:10

deserve compensation. I'm Sweet John, and

38:12

I body slam insurance companies. Call

38:14

my office today for a free

38:17

consultation. 1-800-pane free. That's 1,800 pain-free,

38:19

but ignore the second E. So

38:21

it's 1,800, 724, and then just

38:23

6373. Do not dial 63733. It

38:25

will not work. Call now. Well,

38:27

our judges have rendered a verdict.

38:30

I'll go through one by one.

38:32

Pekichad, Pekkad, Pekkad, the sloth. Your

38:34

resilience made my insights, bounce for

38:36

joy, but your internal cooling left

38:38

me cold. I'm sorry, my dear,

38:40

but you are eliminated. Manny and

38:43

Tess, the bonobos, your level of

38:45

affection, made me warm inside. But

38:47

overall, I found your appearance to

38:49

be pants. That means we are

38:51

down to two competitors. Pigachad the

38:54

pig. And a big swarm of

38:56

honeybees. Congratulations, Manolo. You win the

38:58

Fruit Gusher's Golden Chalice. So, what

39:00

would Pig a Chad like to

39:02

fill it with? Boy, this guy

39:04

likes to party. Ellen, you were

39:07

so close. Ellen, you were so

39:09

close and yet, so far, do

39:11

you think you'll try again next

39:13

year? Um, yeah for sure, the

39:15

colony is always here. It keeps,

39:17

uh, the colony never goes away.

39:20

This colony will never collapse, baby.

39:22

Stick around for more. M.F.D. Spring

39:24

Break. Welcome back to M.F.D. Spring

39:26

Break. We're channeling the 90s, and

39:28

I've asked a few of this

39:31

network's greatest movie minds to compile

39:33

a list of the decade's most

39:35

iconic films. We are in the

39:37

Orville Redenbocker extreme amounts of movie

39:39

theater butter, microwave popcorn screening room

39:41

for maximum film. It's Drey Clark.

39:44

and Alonzo Giraldi. Welcome. Hello. How's

39:46

your spring break? This is my

39:48

first real spring break. So it's

39:50

a it's a rum spring of

39:52

energy for me. I'm very excited

39:55

to be here. She's already had

39:57

her hair braided. And you are

39:59

actually holding a bottle of Malibu

40:01

rum in your hands. Yeah. It's

40:03

a sponsored rum spring. No. It's

40:05

a spice rum spring. Hmm. Mm-mm-hmm-hmm.

40:08

Welcome to the both of you.

40:10

Dan. Hello. Dreya Alonzo and Dan

40:12

are compiling a list of their

40:14

picks for the most culturally impactful

40:16

movies of the 90s. Let's get

40:18

started. Alonzo. Well I mean 1999

40:21

obviously is quite rightly pointed at

40:23

as a movie as a year

40:25

that really like changed film a

40:27

lot and through a lot of

40:29

you know kind of wrenches in

40:32

the system of big studio filmmaking

40:34

and you had a lot of

40:36

Indio tours making these big breakthroughs

40:38

and going wild so I'm going

40:40

to make the case that even

40:42

though it was not a success

40:45

in theaters, a fight club really

40:47

kind of set a new tone

40:49

of like dude speak and you

40:51

know a certain kind of male

40:53

ego expressing itself in the culture

40:55

and feeling victimized by the culture

40:58

that I think has continued to

41:00

reverberate through the social media era.

41:02

The first rule of by club

41:04

is you do not talk about

41:06

by club. That poster on. the

41:09

wall of some of the worst

41:11

guys I ever hooked up with.

41:13

Exactly. You see that bar of

41:15

soap you turn around and leave.

41:17

Oh yeah, you gotta go. Dreya?

41:19

I would say 1995's clueless. gave

41:22

us a whole new vernacular, it

41:24

gave us fashion, quotes for days,

41:26

it really allowed us to finally

41:28

all want that aspirational crush on

41:30

a stepbrother that really cinema had

41:33

been begging for. So wrong, but

41:35

so right. Right? Like we were

41:37

really all rooting for her to

41:39

get with her stepbrother and why

41:41

not? Because it's Paul Rutt. What's

41:43

with you. What do you mean?

41:46

So quiet. Like it launched a

41:48

thousand ships of stars. Everybody knows

41:50

one line now of the song

41:52

rolling the movies. Like what is

41:54

not to love about Clueless? Find

41:56

me someone who hasn't dreamt of

41:59

getting a yellow plaid little suit

42:01

set and I'll find you a

42:03

liar. Damn right. I love Clueless

42:05

but I do remember even at

42:07

the time like being like is

42:10

no one else noticing this about

42:12

I mean, I know that they're

42:14

not blood relations, but no one

42:16

seems to have a problem with

42:18

it at all. He's playing someone

42:20

who was raised, the Austin character

42:23

was raised in like the neighboring

42:25

estate, so it's someone she'd known

42:27

her whole life, was not related

42:29

to her by marriage or otherwise.

42:31

Okay, Dan McCoy, how about you?

42:34

I think this is less groundbreaking

42:36

than more just like trend setting

42:38

in that it collaged a much

42:40

of stuff that... we hadn't really

42:42

seen put together before in that

42:44

pulp fiction from 94 like brought

42:47

the sort of humor and glibness

42:49

to a pulp crime story in

42:51

a way that you know it's

42:53

not utterly new but was but

42:55

felt very trend setting like you

42:57

couldn't for like the next decade

43:00

you couldn't go to a video

43:02

store without seeing a dozen knockoffs.

43:04

of people who are like, oh

43:06

I get it, you just make

43:08

the crimes funny. You know what

43:11

they call a quarter pounder with

43:13

cheese and parrot? They don't call

43:15

it a quarter pounder with cheese?

43:17

I mean they get the metric

43:19

system, it was not a quarter

43:21

pounder, it is. And what did

43:24

they call it? They call it

43:26

royal, which. And that's all they

43:28

got from it. They didn't get

43:30

any of the other skill. The

43:32

punchline is a gunshot. Yeah. Saw

43:34

it, the night it came out

43:37

in New York City at the

43:39

Angelica Theater, the subway roared underneath

43:41

us and rumbled our seats during

43:43

the shot of adrenaline scene. For

43:45

free? And everyone, like literally everybody

43:48

was like, the original D-box. It

43:50

was bad news. But I loved

43:52

it, of course. Okay, to recap

43:54

so far, we have. Clueless, Fight

43:56

Club. And finally, Pope Fiction. Stay

43:58

tuned for the complete list. Stick

44:01

around for more show. Do you

44:03

ever wonder how British people celebrate

44:05

spring break? I do. So I'll

44:07

catch up with Ellen McCloud, John

44:09

Luke Roberts, Ella Hubbard, and Caroline

44:12

Rope. All right, so listen, we

44:14

do think of you often in

44:16

the UK as a bit more

44:18

reserved. Who are some of the

44:20

most notorious UK? Party figures who

44:22

are the party people? Timmy Mallet

44:25

he had a hammer and he'd

44:27

hit you on the on the

44:29

head and he had he had

44:31

a hit with the song teeny

44:33

we need itsy bitsy yellow pocket

44:35

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

44:38

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

44:40

our party guy. Okay, okay. The

44:42

similar who did the song? I

44:44

could do. Ah good. Oh, black

44:46

place. That's a that's a that's

44:49

a classic. I think a lot

44:51

of our parties are just, unfortunately,

44:53

just bad people now. You know,

44:55

I think like Russell Brand was

44:57

a big one. Sure. But I

44:59

think of him as American now.

45:02

He's been there for long enough.

45:04

So true, he's your problem. Yeah,

45:06

yeah, that's a real good point.

45:08

I would say anyone like associated

45:10

with like love island or like,

45:12

do I mean like they come

45:15

out of the island and then

45:17

they do the like, the tower,

45:19

they come out and they do

45:21

the like uni freshest circuit where

45:23

they do like club appearances at

45:26

dodgy nightclubs where they like party

45:28

with 18 year olds, which you

45:30

know, no, no, no, the chuckle

45:32

brothers did the university tour, just

45:34

saying that out there. I'm sorry,

45:36

who are the chuckle brothers. Oh

45:39

you can work it out. No

45:41

I can't! The law is too

45:43

deep! They're just a kid, they're

45:45

a duo for a kids TV

45:47

kind of presenters, a show and

45:50

they had a bit where they

45:52

would hold something and they'd pass

45:54

it back and forward to each

45:56

other and go to you, to

45:58

me, and that was the height

46:00

of children's British humour. Well the

46:03

Red's got the most wrappers off,

46:05

so that means the Red's won

46:07

the game, and they go first

46:09

in the main game of, to

46:11

me, to you. But also they

46:13

come from the sort of Blackpool

46:16

Working Men's Club comedy tradition. So

46:18

they're very much, and also they

46:20

have two brothers who are also

46:22

less successful, a less successful double-up.

46:24

There's two chuckle brothers who aren't

46:27

in the chuckle brothers, there are

46:29

other brothers, but also one of

46:31

the charcoal brothers is now dead.

46:33

Which is sad? No, the main

46:35

chuckle brothers. The other ones didn't

46:37

get the chuckle name. They had

46:40

to, I don't know which name

46:42

they took. Yeah, but the main

46:44

chuckle brother that died basically got

46:46

like a state funeral, like I

46:48

honestly haven't seen that kind of

46:50

turnout for anyone but like the

46:53

Queen, like Q was extraordinary. It

46:55

was nice. But these characters, these

46:57

people would often end up at

46:59

like freshers events or club nights

47:01

for students and they would have

47:04

like a DJ set or something

47:06

like that or just like a

47:08

meet and group in a club

47:10

in a club. Yeah. Howard from

47:12

the Halifax from the Halifax. Yeah.

47:14

The guy Hodor from Game of

47:17

Thrones did the fresh. the circuit

47:19

and he came to my beauty

47:21

and we saw him like tearing

47:23

it up. I saw Dick and

47:25

Dom. No, that's a good one.

47:28

That's a good book. That's a

47:30

good booking. That's doing that. This

47:32

is another children's duo presenter team.

47:34

Apparently we love them DJing. Tracy

47:36

Beaker, Danny Haram. Oh right. She

47:38

did. Dick and Don were famous

47:41

for going into public places and

47:43

yelling like bogeys really loudly. That

47:45

was like their shit. Remember. Wow.

47:47

Are we selling the UK to

47:49

you? The UK like club scene?

47:51

I feel like just before we

47:54

entirely move off the subject, we

47:56

do need to give a special

47:58

shout out to Sun Sex and

48:00

Suspicious Parents. I think it's really...

48:02

Oh my goodness. Yes. That we

48:05

acknowledge the existence of that show.

48:07

So Sun Sex and Suspicious Parents

48:09

is a reality entertainment show that

48:11

follows a different like group of

48:13

18 year old school leavers every

48:15

episode. And they're going to one

48:18

of these like terrible... like Santee

48:20

Magaloove type holidays and they're like

48:22

off to go while for the

48:24

first time and what they don't

48:26

know is that their parents are

48:29

so they think they're being filmed

48:31

for like some documentary and obviously

48:33

I don't know they're too drunk

48:35

or stupid to question yeah the

48:37

the wisdom of all of their

48:39

antics being captured but anyway but

48:42

what they don't know is that

48:44

their parents actually on the holiday

48:46

just in a different room the

48:48

whole time, watching the shenanigans they

48:50

get up to. And then they

48:52

come out at the end and

48:55

it's always some mother who thinks

48:57

her like precious baby Golden Boy

48:59

is an angel and then he

49:01

you know sleeps with 16 girls

49:03

and says fairly derogatory things about

49:06

them and she cries and it's

49:08

like I raised you better than

49:10

this. It's great television. It's great.

49:12

Really classic. Oh, yes. My YouTube

49:14

two watchbooks is growing, growing and

49:16

growing. You're going to have a,

49:19

something about this context is giving

49:21

me a really dissociative experience when

49:23

I'm. I know all these cultural

49:25

things, this is my British culture,

49:27

but as I'm hearing them through,

49:29

and I'm looking at you Dave,

49:32

I'm feeling like, so alienate it.

49:34

I can't believe that this is,

49:36

that this is all true. This

49:38

is all true, though. It's all

49:40

true. And that's what the end,

49:43

like, I'm enough of an anglophile

49:45

to know, Black Lace did Agadou.

49:47

There's no one for me to

49:49

know that and yet all of

49:51

this stuff is a level deeper

49:53

than anything. Even Black Lace have

49:56

forgotten. I have certainly, I also

49:58

like, I have so many questions

50:00

about what that song means or

50:02

is or what push pineapple indicates

50:04

and I just, it's for next

50:07

year's Max Fun Drive for sure.

50:09

But for now, let's check back

50:11

in with how. We're having a

50:13

great time here at the 90s

50:15

pop culture, appreciation, Gabana. I'm here

50:17

with Austin Taylor. We've already seen

50:20

a couple come up and reenact

50:22

one of Ross and Rachel's breakups.

50:24

And another guy who wandered in

50:26

from the street was already reciting

50:28

most of 1992's Dark Man, the

50:30

Sam Ramey film. Austin, tell us

50:33

about the fun you're having and

50:35

some of the stuff you've seen

50:37

today. No, it's been great. It's

50:39

been wild. Someone came in and

50:41

he did an entire recreation of

50:44

the Ninja Turtles apartment fight scene.

50:46

They had four Dutrasas turtles, like

50:48

15 guys as ninjas. It was

50:50

nothing. They did set the building

50:52

on fire, but we put it

50:54

out. It's fine now. It's good.

50:57

We're good now. Yeah, only three

50:59

people went to the hospital. We

51:01

call that a good time here

51:03

in the Cabana. I like. Big

51:05

Butts and I cannot lie you

51:07

Other brothers can't deny that when

51:10

a girl walks in with an

51:12

itty bitty waste and a round

51:14

thing in your face You get

51:16

sprung in our music quiz spectacular.

51:18

You're Evangelist Jeremy Bent, sleeping with

51:21

Celebrities and Depress Mode, host John

51:23

Mo, or Primer's Christian Duenas. All

51:25

right, we're gonna begin, I'm gonna

51:27

ask a question, and if you

51:29

know the answer, say the first

51:31

word in your show name, John,

51:34

you'll choose one of your two

51:36

shows, and the first one to

51:38

get the answer correct, gets the

51:40

answer correct. So let's start by

51:42

practicing, let's get your buzz-in words,

51:45

Christian, Christian, go ahead. And John?

51:47

Depress. Okay. Those are your buzzer

51:49

sounds. Here we begin with the

51:51

first question. Between 1990 and 1999

51:53

over 30 hip-hop album reached number

51:55

one on the Billboard 200 chart.

51:58

The first one to do so

52:00

in the span was the album

52:02

Please Hammer Don't Hurt Him, which

52:04

featured what number one hit song.

52:06

Depress. Can't touch this, you can't

52:08

touch this. You can't touch this.

52:11

You did add the letter you,

52:13

which does make it correct. Yes,

52:15

that is a point for John

52:17

Mo, very good. We're on our

52:19

way. All right, here's our second

52:22

question. The movie, Midnight Run, has

52:24

a rich and driving blues-based score

52:26

composed by a Grammy and Emmy

52:28

winner known for his frequent musical

52:30

collaborations with Tim Burton and his

52:32

work with the band, Oingo Boygo

52:35

Boygo. Who is it? Euro. Euro.

52:37

Euro, Euro, Euro, Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy,

52:39

go ahead. That's Danny Elfman, I

52:41

believe. That is Danny Elfman. Jeremy

52:43

is on the board with the

52:46

points. Speaking of music in movies,

52:48

the movie Dirty Dancing didn't just

52:50

do well at the box office,

52:52

it also won an Academy Award

52:54

for what song? You know, depression.

52:56

I've had the time of my

52:59

life. I know you have, but

53:01

what is the answer to this

53:03

question? And I've never felt this

53:05

way before. Nor have I, John,

53:07

never felt this way. All right,

53:09

there's a point for ice. It's

53:12

the truth. Yes, we could keep

53:14

going and yet Michelle not Oh,

53:16

we owe it all to you.

53:18

Oh, thank you. Hey, don't put

53:20

me in a corner in your

53:23

zoom window. I want to be

53:25

right in the center Here is

53:27

your next question just because you

53:29

start out playing loud rock and

53:31

roll in a garage doesn't mean

53:33

you can't have a long career

53:36

with other styles of music. Take

53:38

the lead singer of the band

53:40

Them who had a hit with

53:42

the garage rock classic Gloria but

53:44

later had even bigger hits. Who

53:46

was this singer and songwriter of

53:49

Gloria? Depression right away. John Morrison.

53:51

Van Morrison is correct. Van Morrison

53:53

of course with the hits Domino

53:55

Tupolo Honey and Brownite Girl among

53:57

others. A popular song on the

54:00

Who album Who's Next is Behind

54:02

Blue Eyes, which could have been

54:04

about any three of the blue-eyed

54:06

members of the band, but probably

54:08

not about which member who had

54:10

brown eyes and played drums. Euro.

54:13

I heard Euro first. Keith Moon.

54:15

Keith Moon is correct, and we're

54:17

back on track. We did an

54:19

entire segment on that album, on

54:21

Go Fact Yourself. All right, let's

54:24

ask about Prince. from Minnesota, so

54:26

John, no pressure. The first print

54:28

song to reach Billboard's Hot 100

54:30

was 1978 soft and wet. The

54:32

next one to make the charts

54:34

hit number 11 in 1979. The

54:37

lyrics of the song begin, I

54:39

ain't got no money, I ain't

54:41

like those other guys you hang

54:43

around. What is the name of

54:45

this hit song? Euro. I want

54:47

to be your lover. Thank you

54:50

so much, Jeremy, but yes, that

54:52

is the correct answer as well.

54:54

Trapped again. Trapped again. I did

54:56

not do those on purpose, but

54:58

it is kind of fun to

55:01

have fun to have fun to

55:03

have. All right, here is another

55:05

Prince's song. After this, we'll get

55:07

a score recap as we head

55:09

into the next section of questions.

55:11

Prince wrote some amazing lyrics on

55:14

the album Purple Rain, but not

55:16

all of them have been heard

55:18

correctly. In a 2009 interview, Prince

55:20

said that he had seen some

55:22

strange rewrites of his lyrics, including

55:24

the opening line of When Dove's

55:27

Cry, as dig if you will

55:29

a picture of me, Marvin Gay,

55:31

and the kids. What is the

55:33

correct opening line of this song?

55:35

Depressed right away. Dig if you

55:38

will a picture me and you

55:40

engaged in a kiss. That is

55:42

not exactly correct. Christian or Jeremy.

55:44

Do you want to see if

55:46

you can get it exactly right?

55:48

I'm guessing by the silence you

55:51

do not. No, I think we

55:53

have a we'll get a half

55:55

a point to John. It's dig

55:57

if you will a picture of

55:59

you and I engaged. I was

56:02

like, I think he got it,

56:04

but good grammar prince. Yeah, so

56:06

that was all very important. Of

56:08

course, by I, he meant the

56:10

picture of an I, and by

56:12

you, he meant the letter you.

56:15

Mental letter you. Yes. Kiss the

56:17

rock band, kiss. Of course. Let's

56:19

see what the scores are as we

56:21

head into this next round. Oh,

56:23

we don't need to look at

56:25

the scores. This course currently are

56:27

Christian with the bronze medal of

56:29

zero correct answers. Jeremy with three

56:31

and a head with three and

56:33

a half. So it still is

56:35

anyone's game, technically. All right, let's

56:37

move on to our next question. This

56:40

one is about hip-hop. Only one

56:42

hip-hop artist had three albums

56:44

reached number one on the Billboard

56:46

200 charts in the 1990s. Tupac

56:48

Shakur, aka Tupac, aka Makavelli. What

56:51

were any one of those three

56:53

chart topping-topping-topping albums? Primer. Primer. Primer.

56:55

All lies on me? That is

56:58

correct and Christian from Primer is on

57:00

the board. On the board. The others

57:02

are me against the world and the

57:04

Don Caluminati the seven day theory. All

57:06

right here's another one. James Brown

57:08

was known as the King of Soul

57:10

but so was Otis Redding who

57:12

wrote what song that was reinterpreted

57:14

and made a billboard hit for

57:17

the undisputed queen of soul Aretha

57:19

Franklin. Depression. Depression trying to add

57:21

to the lead. Respect. Thank you

57:23

again, but no, yes, respect is

57:25

the answer and respect for your

57:27

knowledge of soul music. Oh, he

57:29

couldn't be a show on Max

57:31

Fun without mentioning Weird Al, so

57:33

here we go. Weird Al Yankovic

57:35

recorded several parodies of Michael Jackson

57:37

songs, all with Michael's blessing. But

57:40

there was one song that Al wanted

57:42

to record that Michael did not want

57:44

him to. What was the song that

57:46

Michael thought was too important to

57:48

be parody? Euro. Not quite correct.

57:50

Does anyone want to jump in

57:53

and steal? Black or white. Christian,

57:55

he's giving it to you. Primer,

57:57

primer, primer. Primer. Black or white.

58:00

That is correct. Let's give a

58:02

half a point to each one.

58:04

I think Jimmy says you have

58:06

for that. Yes, sorry. Yes, wrong

58:08

conjunction. All right, let's go back

58:10

to hip-hop. There was a big

58:13

rivalry between East Coast and West

58:15

Coast hip-hop artists in the 1990s,

58:17

and it was on display on

58:19

live TV one night in New

58:21

York in 1995, when performers dissed

58:23

other artists, producers, and even the

58:26

audience at what award ceremony ceremony

58:28

does escalation take place? John Mo.

58:30

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

58:32

or Jeremy. Primer. Is it the

58:34

source awards? It is the source

58:36

awards. A nice steal for Primer.

58:39

The scores can only be different

58:41

than they were before. Very curious

58:43

to see the recap as we

58:45

had into the final few. Oh,

58:47

the scores really have changed. We've

58:50

got Christian now with two and

58:52

a half, Jeremy with three and

58:54

a half, and John with four

58:56

and a half. Very, very close.

58:58

And the stakes are so high.

59:00

I forgot to mention what they

59:03

are what they are. The Beatles

59:05

Longest Studio song is on their

59:07

longest album. Name either the song

59:09

or the album. Primer? Primer. The

59:11

white album self-titled? The white album

59:13

self-titled is correct. That is the

59:16

longest album Christian moving now into

59:18

a tie for second place. Revolution

59:20

number nine, the longest studio song

59:22

by length. Finish this lyric from

59:24

Hamilton about the Federalist papers. John

59:26

Jay got sick after writing five.

59:29

James Madison wrote 29. Hamilton wrote.

59:31

Euro? Euro? The other 51? I'm

59:33

sorry, can you say it though

59:35

as it said in the show?

59:37

The other 51! Thank you so

59:40

much. We're going to give you

59:42

a bonus half point for that

59:44

journey. All right, here's her next

59:46

question. Billy Joel's first Billboard number

59:48

one hit was a single from

59:50

the Billboard number one album Glass

59:53

Houses in which he inquires about

59:55

what's wrong with the clothes he's

59:57

wearing. What is the name of

59:59

this song? Depression. Depression. Depression. Depression.

1:00:01

I look into a lot of

1:00:03

Billy Joe when I was depressed

1:00:06

too. Yeah, no, I'm just narrating

1:00:08

my mood at having to listen

1:00:10

to Billy Joel music. Still rock

1:00:12

and roll to me? Not exactly.

1:00:14

Do you want to give another

1:00:16

chance? It's still rock and roll?

1:00:19

That is correct. Yes, we must

1:00:21

have our contraction to contraction. We

1:00:23

are contractually obligated for that contraction.

1:00:25

Very nice. In the 20-20s, she

1:00:27

received a Kennedy Center honors. In

1:00:30

the 2010s, she won an Emmy

1:00:32

for producing. In the 2000s, she

1:00:34

was nominated for an Oscar for

1:00:36

acting, and in the 1990s, she

1:00:38

won a Grammy for Rapping. Who

1:00:40

is this New Jersey-born sensation? Euro?

1:00:43

Euro? Is this share? No, not

1:00:45

share, no, not the Rapping Grammy,

1:00:47

that we were looking for. Depression?

1:00:49

Depression? All right, here's another question

1:00:51

regarding California and music. The aquabats

1:00:53

got their start in California, just

1:00:56

like other well-known scaw bands like

1:00:58

save Ferris, real big fish, the

1:01:00

hippos, and no doubt. In what

1:01:02

county did all these bands come

1:01:04

from? Primer. Primer. Orange County, baby.

1:01:06

Orange County, that is correct, baby!

1:01:09

They might be giants were nominated

1:01:11

for a Tony Award for a

1:01:13

song they wrote for a Broadway

1:01:15

musical about what absorb animated animated

1:01:17

animated character. Euro I heard first.

1:01:19

I believe that's Spongebob Square Pants.

1:01:22

That is correct. Oh, we're getting

1:01:24

down to just our last few

1:01:26

questions. Let's see if we can

1:01:28

get a score update again. Oh,

1:01:30

here we go. Oh my gosh,

1:01:33

I think we're just down to

1:01:35

our last two or three questions.

1:01:37

And the scores, well, they could

1:01:39

be closer. I was going to

1:01:41

say they could not be closer,

1:01:43

but they are pretty close. We've

1:01:46

got Christian with a very respectable.

1:01:48

We'll find out after these two

1:01:50

questions. The band Chicago earned a

1:01:52

Grammy nomination for contributing one song

1:01:54

to what famine relief album. Depress.

1:01:56

Euro. Depress? Got in first. U.S.

1:01:59

safe. for Africa. More specifically? We

1:02:01

are the world. That is correct.

1:02:03

And adding to your lead, John

1:02:05

Mo, now. That's shrimp. I haven't

1:02:07

eaten 48 hours. Fans, I agree.

1:02:09

Okay, this will be your final

1:02:12

question. This will determine maybe who

1:02:14

gets second place. All right, here's

1:02:16

your final question of the game.

1:02:18

And you know what? This will

1:02:20

be worth. Three points, which will

1:02:23

decide the game. What jazz fusion

1:02:25

legend is a noted scintologist contributing

1:02:27

to space jazz the soundtrack of

1:02:29

the book battlefield earth John for

1:02:31

the win chick Korea Chick Korea

1:02:33

is correct. Congratulations John Mo you

1:02:36

win the shrimp. Oh I'm gonna

1:02:38

share with everybody. Wow I should

1:02:40

point out I don't eat shrimp

1:02:42

and I might not even want

1:02:44

shrimp that's been sent to me

1:02:46

from Minnesota, but we appreciate the

1:02:49

effort So much. All right, well

1:02:51

that does it for us here

1:02:53

at the Hard Rock Cafe at

1:02:55

the iconic sunset strip. And while

1:02:57

you're partying, hey everybody, remember, we're

1:02:59

sunscreen and please stay hydrated and

1:03:02

stay safe. I don't know what's

1:03:04

coming up after this, but I

1:03:06

know you won't want to miss

1:03:08

it here on Maximum Fun. Go

1:03:10

to Maximum fun.org/Join and support all

1:03:13

of these wonderful shows in The

1:03:15

Max Fun Tribe. I'm Jakey Fans

1:03:17

Stratton. See you later! MFD,

1:03:26

spring grade 2025, I am here

1:03:28

in Daytona Beach on the Bud

1:03:30

Ice blood donation stage with Justin

1:03:32

and Clint McElroy. Pick that back

1:03:35

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

1:03:37

oh God, yeah, yeah, if we

1:03:39

can. Dave, you're watching your stepping,

1:03:41

pal. Oh, wow. That'll come right

1:03:43

out. A little vinegar. Hey Dave,

1:03:45

thanks for coming by. Thank you

1:03:47

so much for having me, Justin,

1:03:49

Clint McElroy. How are you doing?

1:03:51

I am much better now, thank

1:03:53

you very much. I'm back in

1:03:55

my old hometown, Daytona Beach. There

1:03:57

is, must feel good to be

1:03:59

home. It is, it's good to

1:04:01

be home because all my stuff's

1:04:03

here. Yeah, you know, and I

1:04:05

really want to thank both of

1:04:07

you guys for bringing some civic

1:04:09

and social responsibility to spring break

1:04:11

and urging people to donate blood

1:04:13

here on the beach. Now, what

1:04:15

made you decide to take this

1:04:17

step this year? Well, I have

1:04:19

been reading up a lot on

1:04:22

the effects of young blood on

1:04:24

older adults, and that is so

1:04:26

important to the Max Fund Drive

1:04:28

network that I want to keep

1:04:30

him going just as long as

1:04:32

possible. So we have been asking

1:04:34

all of our Max Fund family

1:04:36

today to come in here, do

1:04:38

their part, and donate a pine

1:04:40

if they're young, virile blood for

1:04:42

me to pump into my dad,

1:04:44

Clint McElroy. Yeah, just a big

1:04:46

old transfusion. And I've come up

1:04:48

with a bunch of slogans too.

1:04:50

So let's hear it. Don't be

1:04:52

a negative person. Oh. Be positive

1:04:54

that it won't hurt. Right. And

1:04:56

give me your blood. It says

1:04:58

at the bottom of all of

1:05:00

them and give me your blood.

1:05:02

Right. Blood. It's not just for

1:05:04

breakfast anymore. I'm workshop on that

1:05:06

one. Uh, now and we're still

1:05:09

coming along. So yeah. We appreciate

1:05:11

everybody, Dave. It's been a great

1:05:13

success so far. Clearly, you look

1:05:15

fantastic. Your skin is absolutely growing.

1:05:17

How many pints of young blood

1:05:19

have you had today? I've had

1:05:21

seven, six of them voluntarily. Wow,

1:05:23

yeah, which is great for dad,

1:05:25

a huge record. We have just

1:05:27

been so appreciative of everybody donating

1:05:29

to the Max Fund drive and

1:05:31

they're saying, I wish I could

1:05:33

do more. And the truth is,

1:05:35

you could tell a friend. You

1:05:37

know, you could do a little

1:05:39

bit of a boost to your

1:05:41

donation. You could do any of

1:05:43

that stuff, or you could come

1:05:45

in here and give my dad.

1:05:47

A pine of your blood, you

1:05:49

know? Some of your blood. Now,

1:05:51

I'm going to tell you, it

1:05:54

is a windy day here on

1:05:56

the beach. We are getting a

1:05:58

good amount of sand in our...

1:06:00

eyes and mouths. Is that a

1:06:02

have you had any hygiene? Have

1:06:04

you had any hygiene issues? I

1:06:06

smell the hygiene thing coming. Thank

1:06:08

you, you never, you never fail

1:06:10

to disappoint. Dad, go ahead. Just

1:06:12

the usual. You know, you get

1:06:14

the gritty in the eyes and

1:06:16

that keeps you from doing the

1:06:18

gritty. Yeah, but it doesn't bother

1:06:20

you if you have grit. And

1:06:22

that's what my dad has. You

1:06:24

could, he could take a little

1:06:26

dirt. You know what? He's not

1:06:28

picky about types either, Dave. And

1:06:30

you know, any type, you know,

1:06:32

whatever you got, that is ready

1:06:34

and willing. You got O? Got

1:06:36

A? B? Maybe? I've got an

1:06:38

adapter for all of them. So

1:06:41

bring it on. I will tell

1:06:43

you this. The sand is really

1:06:45

kind of messing with my... Obligatory

1:06:47

Dracula costume that I always wear

1:06:49

at blood drives Yeah, and some

1:06:51

people get the gag Most most

1:06:53

most most don't yeah, that's okay.

1:06:55

It's a good as long as

1:06:57

the blood keeps flowing Does it

1:06:59

matter? I feel the need the

1:07:01

need for bleed. That's me now

1:07:03

when I heard that there was

1:07:05

going to be a blood donation

1:07:07

area here at spring break. I

1:07:09

will tell you yeah, but I

1:07:11

my brain went to a more

1:07:13

traditional more familiar blood drive kind

1:07:15

of a situation where some of

1:07:17

the blood might go to people

1:07:19

who have been let's say in

1:07:21

accidents and right and it need

1:07:23

blood if you find yourself with

1:07:26

any extra pints at the end

1:07:28

of the day is it possible

1:07:30

that some of these might make

1:07:32

their way to accident victims or

1:07:34

people in search. Oh Dave, oh

1:07:36

Dave, this is such a sensitive

1:07:38

topic. Sweet, sweet hearted Dave. Yeah,

1:07:40

I mean, just to start out,

1:07:42

Dave, for starters, it's never too

1:07:44

early to start cycling out blood.

1:07:46

I am in my mid 40s,

1:07:48

but a lot of these folks

1:07:50

have 10, 20 years my June,

1:07:52

you know, so I would love

1:07:54

to just top off a little

1:07:56

bit on the on the vitality,

1:07:58

even though I'm obviously much more

1:08:00

healthy. Then my dad and so

1:08:02

that that is not that is

1:08:04

any extra blood. I will be

1:08:06

sort of taking on Myself so

1:08:08

do you think it's bad optics

1:08:10

to not you know share? I

1:08:13

mean cuz I don't know. I

1:08:15

mean I'm I'm seven well we

1:08:17

have we have been as a

1:08:19

prize to all donors. We've been

1:08:21

giving them to address to other

1:08:23

blood drives that are benefiting public

1:08:25

so that has been not I've

1:08:27

been offering that they do have

1:08:29

to wait Some period of time

1:08:31

For the blood to we're

1:08:33

not scientists here in the

1:08:36

tent, but blood does need to

1:08:38

make some more of it Yeah,

1:08:40

I'm glad you pointed out you

1:08:42

are not scientists here at this

1:08:44

blood donation tent Clint, I got

1:08:46

to say your shirt is off

1:08:49

your abs are tight your tits

1:08:51

are right you are looking like

1:08:53

a man of 22, how do

1:08:55

you feel? Well like a man

1:08:57

of 69 Uh, yeah. This is,

1:09:00

this is all the film. This

1:09:02

is all the filter I've

1:09:04

got on the camera. If

1:09:06

I were to switch over,

1:09:08

I would look like Gary

1:09:10

Oldman at the end of,

1:09:12

oh, the Dracula movie. It's

1:09:14

a lot of Dracula-themed content,

1:09:16

Dad. I'm worried the blood

1:09:18

is starting to go to

1:09:20

your brain, Dad. I wish

1:09:22

you the taste fits. And

1:09:24

it's never enough. But thank

1:09:27

you for the compliments, Dave.

1:09:29

I think I look pretty

1:09:31

sharp. Yeah. I only wish

1:09:33

people could see how good

1:09:35

I look. Now, one benefit

1:09:37

to donating blood, especially at

1:09:39

Supreme Court, is that you

1:09:41

get buzzed a little bit

1:09:43

quicker. Have you used that

1:09:45

in any of your marketing

1:09:47

material? Yeah, absolutely Dave. It's

1:09:49

a killer competitive advantage for

1:09:51

us. Less blood means more

1:09:53

fun, that's what we say

1:09:55

here, and we actually have

1:09:57

been filling most of our

1:10:00

blood. recreating Twinkies. It's important to

1:10:02

eat sugar after you donate blood.

1:10:04

I've seen that on TV, so

1:10:06

that is something I'm doing here.

1:10:08

But we are putting alcoholic cream

1:10:10

into the Twinkies. I'm sorry, you

1:10:13

put a mention it. We have

1:10:15

a wide variety. Dave wanted to

1:10:17

ask a clarifying question about the

1:10:19

alcohol. I'm sorry. You're putting, what

1:10:21

kind of cream in the Twinkies?

1:10:23

So it's a vodka cream, Dave.

1:10:25

But it's only for. Folks who

1:10:28

are interested in participating, obviously, you

1:10:30

can get rum filled twinkies or

1:10:32

you know, whatever sort of look

1:10:34

where you want. Of legal age.

1:10:36

Of legal age. Which here in

1:10:38

Daytona Beach is 14. 14. Yes,

1:10:40

we did bump it up last

1:10:43

year. Thanks folks. That was the

1:10:45

right move. It was the it

1:10:47

was a hard fight. But 14

1:10:49

is the right called Daytona Beach.

1:10:51

Good job. But the other snacks

1:10:53

we have are also aimed towards

1:10:55

buffing you up, building you up.

1:10:58

Right. We've got screaming, you know,

1:11:00

the zonkers. Yeah, protein, a lot

1:11:02

of protein. Space food sticks. We've

1:11:04

got pugel. Dad got that dehydrated

1:11:06

astronaut ice cream. That's been a

1:11:08

big hit today. We're moving a

1:11:10

lot of units of that. People

1:11:13

are starving after vatea of blood

1:11:15

and they were willing to pay

1:11:17

any price for these snacks. So

1:11:19

we've been doing huge business there

1:11:21

too. Oh, so the snacks are

1:11:23

not free. They need to be.

1:11:25

you assume the snacks are free

1:11:28

much the same way you assume

1:11:30

the blood's going to charity you

1:11:32

really highlighted our killer competitive advantage

1:11:34

here day people are going to

1:11:36

assume we're doing a lot of

1:11:38

great stuff that we are not

1:11:40

anywhere in the ballpark your finger

1:11:42

is on the pulse of America

1:11:45

and ironically yes yeah yeah just

1:11:47

to find the blood yeah so

1:11:49

what do you have on your

1:11:51

agenda once we wrap things up

1:11:53

here at the blood donation tent

1:11:55

what other spring break activities. I'm

1:11:57

changing my name because nothing here

1:12:00

that I've done today is going

1:12:02

to be favorable in the eyes

1:12:04

of John Q. Law, so I'm

1:12:06

going to go on the lamb.

1:12:08

I'm going to get out of

1:12:10

here, go, go, go, start a

1:12:12

fresh life for myself. I'm going

1:12:15

to clean all the grit out

1:12:17

of places where there should not

1:12:19

be grit or sand. And then

1:12:21

if there's any time I might,

1:12:23

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

1:12:25

to smurf. I'm going to smurf

1:12:27

a little bit on my smurf

1:12:30

board. They're actually still a family

1:12:32

show. With all this young blood,

1:12:34

maybe I'll try skimboarding, you know,

1:12:36

where you toss it and then

1:12:38

you jump on it and fall.

1:12:40

You know, honestly, all I'm thinking

1:12:42

in my head is, what if

1:12:45

this is how we'll find you

1:12:47

know, Clinton, who has been honest

1:12:49

with me this one time? What

1:12:51

if, what if it was just

1:12:53

a slip and suddenly, suddenly, it

1:12:55

was like, wait a minute, it's

1:12:57

like the usual suspects, it all

1:13:00

comes together. I would love to

1:13:02

live on a street with me.

1:13:04

Clint McElroy this whole time. I

1:13:06

would love to believe that's true

1:13:08

day. That fire hose residuals. I

1:13:10

would not be here my man.

1:13:12

I will guarantee you that. I

1:13:15

would be living in an island

1:13:17

in the Balkans. I don't even

1:13:19

know if the Balkans has islands.

1:13:21

But that's what I'd be doing.

1:13:23

Living off the Papa Smurf money.

1:13:25

I would have killed one way

1:13:27

to find out. Yeah yourselves there.

1:13:30

And if you're in Daytona Beach,

1:13:32

get yourself here. Clint needs your

1:13:34

blood. Justin merely wants it. And

1:13:36

we'll be back with more MFD

1:13:38

spring break 2025. We're channeling the

1:13:40

90s. This MFD spring break, Dreya

1:13:42

Alonzo and Dan are compiling a

1:13:45

list of their picks for the

1:13:47

most iconic or culturally impactful movies

1:13:49

of the 90s. So far we

1:13:51

have. Clueless, Fight Club. And finally,

1:13:53

Pope Fiction. All right next on

1:13:55

the list Alonzo. I would be

1:13:57

remiss based on my personal brand

1:14:00

to not bring up the new

1:14:02

queer cinema and all this If

1:14:04

I had to pick one though,

1:14:06

I think I'm going to go

1:14:08

with 1994's Go Fish Because that

1:14:10

is a movie that I think

1:14:12

represents the sort of of underground

1:14:15

zero budget aesthetic of the initial

1:14:17

wave of new queer cinema movies,

1:14:19

but also segues us into that

1:14:21

period where indie distributors realize, oh,

1:14:23

if these movies are funny and

1:14:25

they have a love story, we

1:14:27

can actually maybe sell tickets to

1:14:30

some straight people. We have totally

1:14:32

different taste in women. Are you

1:14:34

saying I don't have discriminating taste

1:14:36

in women? I was a diet

1:14:38

when you are still in diapers

1:14:40

kiddo. So to me it kind

1:14:42

of feels like this tipping point

1:14:45

between like your sort of. Gregoraki,

1:14:47

you know, Todd Haynes directing Poison,

1:14:49

aesthetic, and then you're later, you

1:14:51

know, like Trick and all over

1:14:53

the guy and Jeffrey and those

1:14:55

movies that were very much kind

1:14:57

of pitched a somewhat wider audience

1:15:00

than just angry queer urbanites. And

1:15:02

it still holds up, you know,

1:15:04

30 plus years later, it's still

1:15:06

super charming and a lot of

1:15:08

fun and one of my one

1:15:10

of my favorite queer films. So

1:15:12

yeah, go fish. What else? Right

1:15:15

at the start of the 90s,

1:15:17

91, Science of the Lambs, you

1:15:19

know, draws on a lot of

1:15:21

stuff that came before, but I

1:15:23

think really created the serial killer

1:15:25

movie as it exists now, sort

1:15:27

of. And unfortunately, on the other,

1:15:30

like, created the idea of like

1:15:32

the brilliant serial killer. How is

1:15:34

young Josh and the lovely Molly?

1:15:36

They're always in my thoughts, you

1:15:38

know. You will not persuade me

1:15:40

with appeals to my intellectual vanity.

1:15:42

rather than the serial killer who's

1:15:45

just a loser in a basement

1:15:47

who lost his empathy somewhere along

1:15:49

the way so many movies oh

1:15:51

so much other DNA to her

1:15:53

and finally Andrea all right I'm

1:15:55

gonna say 1998's Rushmore it's Wes

1:15:57

Anderson's second film but for a

1:16:00

lot of people this was the

1:16:02

breakthrough they maybe didn't make it

1:16:04

to bottle rocket Rushmore color it

1:16:06

introduced you to what's become a

1:16:08

very iconic and consistent color palette

1:16:10

framing device like his visual storytelling

1:16:12

his cinematic language is established in

1:16:15

Rushmore and that also includes very

1:16:17

vibrant yet deadpan characters like Max

1:16:19

Fisher which is Jason Swartzman memorable

1:16:21

nerdy complicated heartbreaking all sorts of

1:16:23

wonderful things started the partnership with

1:16:25

Bill Murray that's continued through many

1:16:27

films. Obviously Owen Wilson popping up

1:16:30

again. It's also quotable, but like

1:16:32

my favorite quote from that one

1:16:34

would be when he sees Luke

1:16:36

Wilson in his scrubs. I like

1:16:38

your nurse's uniform guy. These are

1:16:40

OR scrubs. Oh, are they? Which

1:16:42

is something I say to people

1:16:45

all the time and no one

1:16:47

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

1:16:49

big line in this house. Oh,

1:16:51

are they? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And

1:16:53

there you have it. I for

1:16:55

one, I'm looking forward to re-watching

1:16:57

all of these films in the

1:17:00

Orville Red and Bocker extreme amounts

1:17:02

of movie theater butter microwave popcorn

1:17:04

screening room. Nope. Y'all, I have

1:17:06

just gotten word that Secret Histories

1:17:08

of nerd mysteries Austin Taylor has

1:17:10

just dropped by the 90s pop

1:17:12

culture appreciation Cabana. Let's take a

1:17:15

look. Because maybe, you're gonna be

1:17:17

the one that saves me. And

1:17:19

after all, you're my wonderwall. What

1:17:31

a way to kick off MFD
