S2:E24 – Juicy Fruit Commercial

Did Juicy Fruit create extreme sports or did extreme sports create Juicy Fruit? Philosophers will endlessly debate the question, never bothering to learn that Juicy Fruit was first launched in 1893 and that the creation of extreme sports probably had nothing to do with the gum. This classic 80s Juicy Fruit commercial is at the heart of the sordid matter. Teach the controversy.

John Hurst hosts and wonders if the taste is really gonna move ya. Aaron Littleton co-hosts and yells about shirts for a while.

S2:E23 – MathMan: Multiples of 6

After our abysmal math performance in the recent Beverly Hills 90210 episode, listener muteKi suggested that we might need a refresher course in very basic arithmetic and submitted this episode of MathMan, a sketch from the educational PBS show Square One.

MathMan is a beleaguered Pac-Man clone who must use his short time in this world eating answers to math problems lest he be consumed by Mister Glitch. But what does this all have to do with LBJ and mid-tier 70s-era comedians?

Aaron Littleton hosts this week and casts a wide (math) net. John Hurst co-hosts and faces the uncomfortable suggestion that Animaniacs might not be very good.

S2:E22 – Dragon Ball Z TV Opening

Dragon Ball Z seems to be bubbling its way up a lot lately. Maybe it’s nostalgia, maybe it’s the new show, or maybe it has something to do with the radical sequel to Nathaniel Hawthorne’s magnum opus: The Scarlet Letter Z.

Before we get there, though, we’ve got to fulfill the destiny we created for ourselves in our Cheetos Paws episode and eat an edible packing peanut!

John Hurst hosts this episode and chooses the Dragon Ball Z TV opening for our video. Aaron Littleton cohosts and draws a pretty picture.

S2:E21 – Beverly Hills 90210 TV Opening

Are you ready for a show bold enough to feature teens? What if I told you they lived in Beverly Hills? Also what if they were white? And like everyone else in the show was white too. Plus, teens. Are you down? Good. Because I’m gonna blow your mind.

What if I told you all of this started because of Secret of Mana? Would you be further intrigued? Maybe…40% more interested? Then you’re going to be 130% ready for this week’s episode!

Aaron Littleton hosts this week and chooses the Beverly Hills 90210 theme song. John Hurst co-hosts while thinking about the Magna Carta to compensate for trying to do math in his head.

S2:E20 – Tiger Electronics Mega Man 2 Commercial

In the era before the Gameboy, video games on the go were really something special. In the waning years after Nintendo’s little gray brick, though? Ehhh, not so much.

Tiger Electronics hawked these simple LCD games for years, years, acquiring such tantalizing licenses as Mega Man, Ninja Gaiden and Skyrim. Wait, maybe not that last one. Yet.

John Hurst hosts this week and puts arcade action in the palm of his hand. Aaron Littleton co-hosts and lays face down on the bed.
