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
Thank you so much for doing this.
9:21

Concord and head back to South Padre
9:25
Island. Thank you very much for taking
9:28

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

20:20
Convention Center promenade meeting room find

20:24
ahead and tell us? Just the

20:31

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

20:42

20:44
to learn some more about that.
20:47
Amazing and Brenda. You find me

21:23
I was pronounced legally dead and

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

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
