you know it's kind of funny how my lack of memory traction sometimes seems to work ..like right now for instance.. Now realizing that there're more than one "vocal doppelganger" for the amazing Chuck w Bryant I'm failing to remember the first one I noticed ...since it seems that I can add Joe McCormick to that list... LoL 🤣 and what's really funny to me on top of that is that I do believe that all of these people are on the same team by that I mean "in the same office building" per se. RofLmAo

To me the most annoying sound is when a theme song bleeds into the intro and is louder if not just as loud as the podcasters introducing themselves and setting up the episode. Nah I’m just kidding, I absolutely love this podcast;)

#YESplease I'd love to hear an episode on Dick Tracy, especially since, at 39 currently, it's been since I was quite very young; that I've even seen the flick. But I do very much remember watching it with a frequent regularity when I was small.

Glad they finally got to gendered numbers! It was the first thing I thought of when they started talking odds and evens--I've always had strong associations between the digits 1-10 and certain personalities, in some cases including gender.

in Alien Resurrection a couple xenomorphs attack a 3rd xenomorph. They rip it apart, splashing its blood all over the walls of their containment cell in order to melt it and allow them to escape. you almost feel bad for the murdered xenomorph... almost.

I love cuttlefish. The way they move is adorable. I think the best way to describe their movement style is 'puttering around'.
