031 JOSS WHEDON AND THE FALL OF POP IDOLS
POOP CULTURE: “Wait ... this is how we do a Charles In Charge episode?” Its been a rough couple weeks for Buffy fans, what with patron saint Joss Whedon being revealed as a patriarchal wolf in feminist clothing. But does the despicable behavior of the artist void the impact of his actual art? Bob and Tim take a look at this pop cultural fall-out while also, somehow, invoking Scott Baio.
00:00:00 - PRE-SHOW PRATTLE - numb nut crock-o-duck
00:00:37 - TOPPLING IDOLS - so this is how we’re finally talking about Joss Whedon / “Fallen Angel”
00:06:59 - SODOM AND GOMORRAH PAINS - the transubstantiation of Kirk Cameron
00:13:02 - NOONE LOVES CHACHI - not making Charles In Charge great again
00:19:00 - YEA, YEA, YEA, GONNA HAVE A ROUGH TIME - the perverse monster of Bill Cosby
00:27:16 - BEAUTIFUL ART AND GROTESQUE ARTISTS - despicable show credits
00:35:55 - DON’T FORGET ABOUT DOLLHOUSE - the tainted influence of Joss Whedon
00:43:54 - WHEDONESQUE VS. WHEDONLESS - can Buffy maintain her legacy?
00:52:18 - PRESSURE THE PATRIARCHY - why this conversation matters (and should continue)
01:05:06 - CLOSINGS - Contacts, plugs and no catchphrase / “Walking On Sunshine”

One of the few pieces of memorabilia I ever had for my favorite movie of all time. I grabbed a nearly complete set, at the Mansfield flea market, back in 1992.The yellowing sticks of gum were atrocious. #closeencountersofthethirdkind #tradingcards #70smovies #fleamarkets #moviememorabilia #collectables #stevenspielberg #ufos #aliens #devilstower #1977

030 ROSS AND RACHEL
EFFIN’ SPOILERS: “Don’t stand ... don’t stand so ... don’t stand so close to me Ross.” (1994) Will they? Won’t they? When they? Why they? Those were the questions that put Ross and Rachel at the center of the FRIENDS ensemble. But was that romance destined from the start? And would that knowledge diminish the ten year narrative? And did Ross have a pet monkey for a whole season? Bob and Tim try to answer at least two thirds of these questions on today’s Must-See-But-Its-Heard episode.
00:00:00 - SPOILER WARNING - and right into the show … I guess / “Good Intentions”
00:03:42 - RECONNECTING WITH TV’S FRIENDS - Bob and Tim look at Ross and Rachel
00:08:12 - WILL THEY OR WON’T THEY - Bob and Tim look at Sam and Diane
00:10:05 - SPOILER - ruination though TV Guide
00:15:09 - CRUSHES WITHIN THE ENSEMBLE - a relatable series of emotional actions
00:19:17 - THE REVISIONISM OF ROSS - creepy, creepy David Schwimmer
00:23:06 - WASN’T EXPECTING THAT - even though we were all expecting that
00:27:52 - FOR THE DRAMATIC BENEFIT OF BEING ON A BREAK - finally relating to this relationship
00:31:33 - AN UNEXPECTED COUPLING - Bob and Tim look at Chandler and Monica
00:38:24 - RUINING RACHEL’S STORY ARC - thanks for nothing, Ross
00:43:30 - THAT FOREGONE CONCLUSION - and tacking on a finale
00:49:12 - CLOSINGS - Contacts, plugs and no catchphrase / “Shoebox”
See Ross and Rachel’s very first scene together HERE
Watch the late 80s prom video that, strangely, brought Ross and Rachel together HERE.

028 PEARL JAM VS.
COMPACT DISC-USSION: “Globalized aversion to a pelican.” (1993) It was a long walk from Tower Records before two college Freshman got to hear Pearl Jam’s Sophomore effort. And when they did, it altered the cerebral landscape of their pre-20-something minds. Clearly Bob and Tim can rekindle those same feelings in their 40s as they re-spin that compact disc ... VS.
00:00:00 - PRE-SHOW PRATTLE - a good line to use
00:00:32 - THE CD IS … VS.- and here is how they got it / “Plush”
00:07:31 - “GO” - Vedder vocals and maybe there are lyrics?
00:12:09 - “ANIMAL” - soundtracking Tim’s freak-out
00:15:17 - “DAUGHTER” - this indie song is not changing the world
00:20:58 - “GLORIFIED G” - titles are hard
00:25:57- “DISSIDENT” - can’t forget lyrics if you can’t understand them
00:29:00 - “W.M.A.” - etherial, experimental and with a self-important title
00:33:33 - “BLOOD” - meh … and talking about another song
00:35:59 - “REARVIEWMIRROR” - those clever 20 Somethings and their fantastic driving machines
00:41:25 - “RATS” - It’s a soul patch Charlie brown
00:44:28 - “ELDERLY WOMAN BEHIND A COUNTER IN A SMALL TOWN” - a changing meaning to a meaningful lyric
00:51:54 - “LEASH” - bastards of young … -er
00:55:45 - “INDIFFERENCE” - anti everything … even climactic
00:58:50 - CLOSINGS - Contacts, plugs and no catchphrase / “Plush”
Watch the entirely, hand-held camcordered live concert from April 11th 1994 that both Bob and Tim wound up talking about HERE.
Hear the band being interviewed backstage from this very same concert HERE.
See Eddie Vedder strum a guitar while performing Tim’s favorite incredibly lengthy in title song HERE.
And read an oral history of the band’s first 10 years published even more years ago in SPIN magazine HERE.
