Phineas and Ferb – Save Summer!

About this Episode
Hey hey hey, it's the KS Queen here and you're
listening to the Geekcast Radio Network. I know
what you mean, Ferb. It does seem like more than
104 days. Hello and welcome to episode 103 of
Pauka, brought to you by the GeekCast Radio Network.
I am one of your hosts, J .J. and Mike Jeremy.
It's P .K. Michael. Hello, sir. How are you?
Hey, how's it going? It's going. Sometimes I
wish it would stop, but it's going. Today is
the 103rd day of summer, and it means that it
is the day that GCN finds out all about how Phineas
and Ferb saved summer. But we have to figure
out a way to save summer, or it'll be - Well,
I don't know about you guys, but I've got a good
feeling about this by putting on a concert at
home that was broadcast all around the world.
Oh, so there was a global pandemic in Danville.
They couldn't actually leave. They had to do
it from their backyard. Uh huh. Yep. Exactly.
Are you ready, Michael, to jump on the roller
coaster ride that is the podcast organization
without a cool acronym? Yes. Yes, I am. I'm sorry.
Disney, Dan, Swampy, everybody that worked on
this, this did not need, this was not a Shakespearean
play. This did not need five acts. Pentatonic.
You're just going to jump straight into that.
It's like, no, before we talk about the synopsis
or what happened or, you know, voice guest, guest
voice actor, we're just going to jump right into
the fact that this could have been half an hour.
Yeah, we would have been fine with it. Yep. Okay.
We, I've watched this twice. You've watched this
what? Twice, I think. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And there's
a lot of, a lot of fluff in here. Yeah. And we're
not talking about marshmallow fluff either. Oh,
no marshmallow. I mean, there's, there's a lot
of bits. I mean, you know, the spelunking, you
know, maybe, maybe I love Wallace Shawn. I picked
that voice out immediately inconceivable. But
maybe Wallace didn't need to be in this episode.
He might have been in the cutting room floor,
you know, there will be absolutely no self discovery
there. There was some other bits that were like
this is going on far too Irving Irving didn't
need to sing. I didn't need to hear him at all.
You just don't like Irving. That's all I don't.
I don't like Irving. Somebody promised Irving
something. You know, and he was like a calling
in my debts today. Fine. We'll let you sing for
10 minutes. We got an hour to play with. OK,
that's fine. Just. Yeah, I think Roger Roger
had a bigger speaking role than Ferb at this
point. He did. Yeah, he had more lines than Ferb,
which is really strange. I just. Yeah. Yeah,
there's a whole lot of stuff here that could
have been trimmed away and it would have been
it would have been a better episode. Yeah, I
like double double episodes. You know, I mean,
half an hour is they they they have a very tight
writing style here and they can cram a lot of
stuff in a half an hour. I've seen him do it.
And this just seemed like. They said, you know
what? We can't do half an hour. We need like
35 minutes. And the best we can do now is cram
another 25 minutes of Irving singing. To flesh
it out into an hour. Yeah. And the sad thing
is, so, and I promise I'm not throwing you under
the bus, but I'm going to do some behind the
scenes things here, folks. So Michael got confused
and thought this was the last day of summer It
is the finale and I'm like, no, it's not the
last day of summer. This is save summer. It's
different This is this this they sound very similar.
Yes. They sound very similar Absolutely 100 %
Yeah, watch the wrong episode. That's okay. Okay,
you know it Hey, look, I I sat there and I was
like, oh right. We're on Pharmacists, I watched
Pharmacists. That's one of the reasons why this
got delayed is because I watched Night of the
Living Pharmacists instead of this. Spoiler alert
for next episode, folks. Night of the Living
Pharmacists, much better than this. I barely
see spoilers. I haven't watched that one. That's
only half an hour, right? And the living pharmacist
is to it is two parts. It is 26 and 25. So it's
no it's the same. It's pretty much 50 minutes.
Oh, wow. 26 and 25. These both are hour long
specials. OK. Same thing with Star Wars. Star
Wars is is hour long. Star Wars is roughly more
over an hour long. Here's my problem with save
summer. okay is that it's slight i don't think
i don't know i think what they did was as they
were getting close to the end of this season
is they decided to go away from the format of
11 minute cartoons They were like we're gonna
do specials for the rest of the season We're
gonna do longer We're gonna go south parking.
We're gonna go bigger longer uncut Uh, they decided
to do many movies for the rest of the season
because all of the episodes, even the ones that
are, cause all of these episodes are split up
into two parts on Disney plus every single episode
starting with safe summer all the way to the
last day of summer. Cause my, my argument was
going to be was safe summer should not be longer
than Last day of summer and I'm sitting here
right now looking at last day of summer Part
one is 25 minutes part two is 26 minutes. So
they're all Oh, no Hmm. Oh, no, that's yeah,
that's right. That's yeah, that's roughly right
So they're all roughly I can't math it All too
much math. Well, yeah too much of the maths Yeah,
far too much meth. Meth! My favorite activity.
I bet people listening to this podcast now are
like, what are they talking about meth for? It's
a Beljeetle thing. A Beljeetle thing. People
have heard this before on this show. Exactly
what we're talking about. I think like every
week it's a meth. Something about meth. Longtime
fans. They were nodding their heads along, they
know. It's a good thing. You're not supposed
to put music in podcasts anymore because I really
want to put in Nickelback something in your mouth
and make it something in your meth. Oh God. Anyway.
Uh, yeah, they basically switched from 11 minute
episodes to, uh, to full on hour long specials
to the end of this, uh, series, which is fine.
Again, when you have something that's called
save summer and then the last episode of the
entire series is called the last day of summer.
I don't think save summer should be longer or
just as long as the finale. I think the finale
should be something special. I think the finale.
honestly should have been this giant movie length
thing. It shouldn't have been just another two
part episode. If you're going out as a series
finale, go out with a bang. Yeah. I'm wondering
like what are the, what were the, what were,
this is like 10 years ago now, but what were
the contractual obligations here? You know, is
it like, Oh, you know, we're, we're committed
to. You know, X amount of minutes of entertainment
here. And we got to we got to do something, but
we're suffering from senioritis because we know
this is it. And we're just going to we're just
going to, you know, put as much into it as we
can and and. Not as much as like the same previous
episodes previously. Everything's really. really
tight like i said the writing is really tight
they they usually have no problem filling you
know two 11 minute episodes like to the to the
gills and if half of those gills are recurring
jokes yep don't have that problem this episode
they had lots of those problems because really
this just i don't know i i know it's irving It's
not just Irving. Irving's going straight out
of the bus here. So it feels like all of this
episode, all five acts... Hello and welcome to
Love Muffin's first annual... I said, Love Muffin's
first annual Disservice Award! It's a bunch of
check -ins. What's this character doing? What's
that character doing? How's this going? What's
this part? It's not that the story wasn't fluid.
It was a fluid story. It went from point A to
point B to point C to point D to point E, E,
E, F, G, H, I, J, K, M, L, B, L, L. It went through
all that, but... I don't remember there being
that many, but okay. My point is, is that...
It went through the story beats, but the problem
is, there isn't much of a story. The story is
more of, we're going to have all of our characters
doing all these different things all at once
during this summer concert. Oh. Irving's over
here jamming out on this, this. Doofenshmirtz
is over here doing this. Perry's over here doing
this. A major monogram is now fired. He's been
removed from his mustache. Carl has inherited
his disgusting mustache. We have former King
of Late Night Jay Leno coming in as Colonel Contraction.
He actually had the giant chin. Yes, which is
good. Well, I mean if it's Jay Leno sure you
need the giant chin that's like his exactly.
Yeah, exactly Which kids out there now who have
no idea who Jay Leno is yeah, no, okay. What
Jay who? Just Look up the Tonight Show Jay Leno
on YouTube kids wasn't that the guy who played
the Joker in the Suicide Squad movie? No That's
Jade no no no no no no no no no huge difference
between Jay Leno and Jared Leto oh Leto yeah,
you're right. Yeah And look, honestly, folks,
the only reason why you should ever pay any attention
to Jared Leto is because he had a band years
and years and years ago. He was the lead singer
of 30 seconds to Mars and they had one amazing
song called Capricorn. And I love that song.
Yeah. I still love that song to this day. Uh,
yeah, no, Jared Leto, one of the worst actors
in Hollywood ever. Terrible. Did you see Mobius?
No. Morbius? No. It was awful. It really was.
I do not watch, but I would rather watch Blade
again, you know, like the entire trilogy again,
even though they, you know. Blade, the first
Blade, 1998 Blade. Classic. Actual. Yeah, it
was an actual good film. It's an amazing movie.
Oh, yeah. Oh, man. I love that movie. Yeah. Blade
2 is a little questionable. Blade 3 is a little
questionable. It had Rand Reynolds and he saved
it. But haha pre dead playing dead well and and
the funny thing is about about that, you know,
you know, we've I saw an Instagram reel when
Deadpool and Wolverine came out or when it was
about to come out where people are interviewing
Wesley Snipes and and it it's just It's just
the camera on Wesley and somebody's asked him
a question. You don't, you don't hear the question,
but you hear his answer and he goes, Oh, we've
hated each other for, for 20 or 30 years. Oh
no, we've actually liked each other the whole
time. It's just this thing we keep up, but you
know, he gives me a call and he goes, well, I
don't know how the hell you're going to pull
that off, but yeah, sure. I'll come back as blade.
It's funny because you know, Ryan Reynolds is
Ryan Reynolds and. Wesley Snipes is Wesley Snipes,
you know, and it's like oil and water or what
are two things that explode when you put them
too close to each other? And so it's like that
was the rumor for years was, you know, they hated
each other. They hated each other. And because
Ryan Reynolds, being Ryan Reynolds, ad libbed
half of his lines. And Wesley Snipes is, you
know, a commensurate professional and he doesn't
ad -lib and he's like yeah cut that shit out
you know that is not cool you don't do that and
he's like look you know it's just me being me
yeah absolutely yeah anyway i don't know the
truth of it but i i just i thought it was awesome
when they were they got a chance to work again
together they should have brought back jessica
beetle what they brought back jennifer garner
They're about the same age Yeah, I Think the
only thing I ever Enjoyed Jessica Beale in okay
two things to that. Oh god that movie's 20 years
old this year 2005's fantastic four and It's
sequels rise of the silver surfer. I know that
that's not Jessica Beale Oh, that's Alba. Yeah,
that's Alba. There you go. Okay, okay, okay.
Anyway, so I can say the only thing that I've
absolutely enjoyed Jessica Biel in, there is
another, what's the other movie? Stealth. Yeah.
She was in stealth and she was in my favorite
2001s with Freddie Prince Jr. and what's his
name? Scooby. Shaggy. Matthew Lillard. Fred Ward
was in it. Summer Catch. She was the daughter
of Bruce Davidson in Summer Catch. I did not
see that. I did not see that. Oh, it's a good...
Summer catch is basically. Massachusetts, the
Cape Cod league baseball thing. So for me being
originally from Massachusetts, that's really
the number one reason why I like it. And then
there's the pool scene with Jessica Beale. So
that's exactly. All right. Uh, Phineas and Ferb
folks, we're talking about everything else that
actually. Yeah, these seven acts that don't really
matter. All right. So five -year -old Candice
has a message for teenage Candice. Right. So
he hasn't done that. Yeah, really. Don't forget
to invent a new ice cream flavor. I don't know
if I'm interested in like. grilled cheese ice
cream. No, no. It's like, you know, on the one
hand, I like ice cream that has like baked goods
in it. You know, like cookie dough or birthday
cake or something like that. So so like bread,
even toast, toast. Nice, but not cheese. I can't
imagine. No, no, no, no, no, no. Cheese flavored
ice cream. Yeah, yeah, no. See, like like you're
mentioning cream cheese. Yeah, but cream cheese
is not cheese like could you please is none?
Could you make a cream cheese grilled cheese
and if so, what would that be slick? Wow, I may
have invented something right now Yes, yes, sir.
And you may have done so Going to the kitchen
right after the podcast and start totally do
this. Yes. I got a brick of Philadelphia I'm
just gonna try it up. That's right. I'll let
you know how it turns out. Absolutely some butter
on that bread Uh -huh, uh -huh. No. Call up Ben
and Jerry's tomorrow morning first thing. Vermont's
finest, coming from Illinois. Cheese. Cheese.
Kansas cheese. It's cheesy good. Oh, God. It's
quick and it's easy. It's really something cheesy.
I mean, girls use ice cream. Yeah, generally
you don't do there are. OK, so pretzels go in
ice cream certain time. There's certain ways.
But when you think, yeah, I don't think of like.
I'm pretty sure and was it grilled cheese? It
was grilled cheese, wasn't it? Yeah, yeah, it
was grilled cheese ice. Yeah, I'm pretty sure
there isn't cheese bur - I'd have to look at
the Ben and Jerry's website and I'm only saying
them because they are the kings of - I'm saying
they are the kings of the flavor combination
type, like, oh my god, what's the next new everything
flavor that you're gonna get from - I already
can see the cheese would be bad in ice cream,
but now you're talking about meat. That's my
point my point is is that there's there's certain
that like s'mores s'mores are a a Savory and
sweet and savory thing because you have the graham
cracker you have the marshmallow Yeah, and salty
you can have You can have savory and salty things
with the sweet, but you can't have Cheese because
cheese is not cheese specifically like Real cheese
cheese burger product. It's a it's a dairy product,
but it's a dairy product that doesn't belong
an ice cream not specifically a man I'm thinking
like government cheese. That's what I'm thinking
of government cheese American slice Like slice
government cheese. That was a brick. No They
made you slice that shit yourself Yeah, I understand
that my point was the craft singles American,
you can't do that in ice cream. You should do
that. You can make a nice brie ice cream, right?
But you can't make a craft ice cream because
that would be nasty. Oh, a nice Camembert ice
cream would be all right, though. Ew. Oh, my
God. You know, brie ice cream, that doesn't sound
terrible. I could see that. The Moustache -less
X -Major Monogram is now working at Mr. Slushy
Dog. I'm just going to start reading the Wikipedia
article directly. Behind the drive -thru counter,
he believes Jeremy is about to fire him and resigns
before he can. But it turns out Jeremy was about
to ask Monogram to clean the bathroom. Oh boy.
Yeah, I would have quit too. Speaking of things
that could have been trimmed for time. Yeah.
Just like why? Oh, I've just yeah. I had completely
forgotten about that scene. I thought you were
bringing it up expressly to point out that it
could have been cut. No, I was bringing it up
so I could just read from the wiki and get us
back on track. So we get cheese on ice cream,
which it does not belong. Cheese on ice cream
is like like uh pineapple doesn't belong on pizza
you just offered me cheese oh oh not at all okay
anyway that's from another cartoon you might
not recognize that one oh in the abandoned warehouse
all the agents are locked up in cages however
doofenshmirtz points out that perry is still
out there somewhere Taking no regard in this,
Rodney decides it's high time to own the world
ransom, and the villains head off to arrange
a press conference outside City Hall. I hate
Rodney. Yeah. And honestly, if he had any ounce
of fourth thought to what his natures are actually
doing, he could probably do a lot of good in
the world with these devices. Yeah. Rodney just
wants to watch the world burn. Yeah. He's just
like, screw this. I'm sending us all into the
ice age. Yep. Yeah. He's like. Classic Bond villain.
Oh, you know who could have shown up there was
the the James Bond analog been in the show before
Lohfeld Yeah, you know classic. Oh, yeah, I was
gonna say mad scientists going on here, but they
had They did make the distinction between I'm
not I'm an evil scientist not a mad scientist
Yes, because I mean, okay Duvin Schmerz does
get mad, but he's not A man yeah he's not well
he can be crazy but he's not crazy out of his
mind he's. Like you said he's he's he's the evil
scientist maybe mad and bad but he's not crazy.
No he's not crazy why would he be crazy. So yeah
yes what's is not sad. Mr. I and I, and I'm sorry,
an Iser. An Iser? No, it's an Inator. An Iser?
Oh, God. I mean, the last time I heard anything
called an Iser was an Ionizer, and an Ionizer
ionizes things. They destroy things. Yeah, Rodney,
pure evil. Rodney, bad villain. Rodney. Iser's
thing. Die. Yes. But Rodney wants to move the
Earth away from the Sun. Well, I mean, I thought
that the Inator was actually pretty interesting
in that it uses the gravity of Jupiter to pull
the Earth slightly out of its orbit. Well, that's
interesting. I mean, technically with the correct
usage, you could regulate the temperature of
the Earth that way. So you mean we could go back
to six months of you know normal weather and
six months of winter you know you could you could
have uh 12 months of california weather no no
no no california is beautiful no california is
amazing beautiful all the time and then you know
at night time gets a little chilly but you put
on a sweater you're good put on a hoodie it's
comfortable you give me big s'mores outside Yeah,
the only way you're getting California weather
and s'mores is if you give me the big bear. You
give me the California mountain and the cold
and the snow. That's the only way you're getting
California weather and s'mores. Thanks. Yeah.
Thanks. Yeah. Thank you very much. I'll take
that over any other way. Last week he was 10
below here. So I don't want that. I'm not a fan.
What I am beautiful, California weather here.
No, no, no Just slightly tweak the orbit of the
earth every so often every you know every couple
of weeks or so and be beautifully Well, I guess
for half the planet the other half would just
be plunging into an eternal night a Small price
to pay for me, I suppose Hey, as long as I can
be an eternal night. I'll be good It's so cold
Coco, it's okay. I'll be good Like I said off
there. I'm six one four hundred and seventy something
pounds. I'm a furnace I run hot so I can handle
the gold Choose What's what side of the planet
you want to be under this sunny delightful side
or this godforsaken frozen? Hellhole plan she's
got his hand up like me me please I'll take the
frozen. Hello, please That's right. Damn straight.
Oh, absolutely. 100 percent. Oh my God. Act three
West Side Story musical number. Honestly, come
on now. Come on now. This was begging to be cut
for time. Yeah, yeah, that could have been cut
for time. It was so bad. That was horrible. The
lunging was Saul. I mean, I don't get me wrong.
I love Wallace Shawn. I think. Yeah. He's a national
treasure, gonna be very unhappy when he goes
the way of Betty White. Which is the way I was
unhappy when Betty White went the way of Betty
White. But yeah, it was just so much filler.
Okay, now we're gonna squeeze past this stalactite.
I mean, stalagmite. Wait, which one is on top?
Actually, I believe that's just a hole. I seem
to be trapped! Turn away, folks, I'm gonna have
to saw my arm off! That was a close one now follow
me Have you I think it was was it night? No,
it was 92 I'll see if I can send this to you
or see if I can find online Have you ever seen
you probably haven't seen this and I don't know
if I don't know if you ever talked about this
There is a film from the early 90s that he'd
starred in uh -huh called the double -o kid No
No i don't have seen it so it's with him it's
with corey hame and. He plays cash pot the villain
in this movie okay and. He basically plays a
online sort of games master and his house has
all these video games in the basement, but they're
actual arcade games, but they're hooked up to
his central computer because he's a computer
nerd cat. I think you would like it. Yeah, but
That's the first, anytime Wallace Shawn comes
up, that's the first thing I always think of.
And then obviously the next, yup. And then the
next thing I always think of is Rex from Toy
Story. Oh my God, Dr. Princess Bride. Hell no.
That's like his iconic role. But yeah, Rex, you
know, but you don't actually see his face in
Toy Story. But you hear his voice and you know.
Yeah, you know, he's got a fantastic voice. Yeah,
absolutely delightful in as as rec but but come
on inconceivable I Don't know that word means
what you think it means means. Yes. I I think
that's the That's one of like three things. I
only know from that myself have not seen that
damn movie I don't know if I will ever I just
I resist watching it with you. Oh my god Have
resisted watching that stupid movie for the longest
friggin time because it was like oh my god the
princess bride Oh my god, the princess bride.
You must watch the princess bride The closest
thing I get to the princess bride is the what's
the PG -13 version of dead? Yeah, I know what's
the it's I can't feel my legs Yeah, exactly.
Well, there's one clip of that. There's one clip.
I used it in podcasts all the time I'm probably
gonna throw it in right here. This is how you
remind me Where Yes, yes, I'm going yes, I'm
yes, I'm going yeah, uh -huh. I don't think it's
hard. So, you know, so That clip is basically
that people just heard Is them summoning Nickelback.
Because - Oh! That's right. Deadpool. Yeah, yeah,
yeah. He gets all pissed off because - You take
that back right now! Yep, yep, yep. That's as
close as I come to the Princess Bride. Is that
clip - Yeah, that's the - I just - It's just
never been on my radar to - I've never felt like
I need - I understand that. I understand and
I respect that. It's just never been on my radar
as something that I need to experience. Just
like most of the Monty Python. Outside of, I
will taunt you a second time! I know, everything's
fighting words there, man. I don't know. Not
sure if I can be your friend anymore. Mean hey
if we want to do a Monty Python Specific thing
for a studio 2009 later this year. We surely
can I mean we're gonna have time after we finish
up with Phineas and Ferb until season 5 hits
Yeah, so, you know, we could probably do that,
but it's going to take huh? So there's too much
There's too much too much Monty Python you've
got like there's not so many episodes and so
many movies and No, no, no. 50 years of history.
No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not talking about
episodes. I'm talking about the movies, man.
The movies, not the episodes. The movies. It
might be four or five. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, but
it's going to take a lot of Ben and Jerry's and
a lot of Pizza Hut to convince me to watch Princess
Bride. Maybe even some McDonald's. Yeah, it's
going to take a lot. I am going to have to be
bribed, cajoled and all that kind of stuff. Act
like it's a bad movie, but it's not. It's a delight.
And I can understand if you don't want to watch
13 hours of Lord of the Rings, but, you know,
it's on par. I mean, you know, and that's, that's
saying something. It's like, maybe you never
know. This is one of these movies where I've
seen it dozens of times. And it's just that I
don't watch movies more than once. That's the
thing. So let me like Star Wars. But wow, really
surprised. OK, all right. All right. Moving on.
Here we go. Are we moving on? So I don't know.
We got to. We got to. I was somewhere on act
five, I think. I don't know. OK, so you're in
act five. So we completely skipped all of act
four. OK, good. By this point, the entire world
is now in perpetual winter. So perpetual winter,
everybody like that scene of frozen. Oh, God,
don't even get me started on that movie. Oh,
come on, just let it go. The fuck up. Shut up
right into that. It was awesome. No, no, no.
It'll make me sing. I'll do it. Oh, man. So Monogram's
homeless, and he deputizes a street rat, which
is hilarious because then the street rat actually
becomes an agent. That I would not have cut.
Street rat, I won't buy that. Now you're going
to sing? Well, I mean, you said street rat. My
first thought was 1992 in Aladdin. Oh. You know,
oh, yeah Wow, that's obscure Okay, that's not
obscure. That's disney dude. It's like it's like
a throwaway line out of a song from uh, 30 years
ago, but yeah, okay, you know Who is the latin
obscure? Oh my god. So what you're saying is
you won't watch princess bride, but you will
watch animated disney princess movies. Well,
yeah Not frozen, but anything else Really frozen
was a masterpiece. I cried Rose not frozen to
though. No, that was garbage. But yeah the first
one Okay, but we just took my nieces and nephews
out to Disney on ice and And frozen was in it,
but it wasn't frozen frozen. It was frozen too
and I'm like this bullshit Garbage and Moana
was in it So that was kind of neat, too. Oh,
OK. I like Moana. No, no, no. I have nothing
against Moana, but I don't I don't know. Unless
you're actually going to do a new movie where
they all team up, I don't really want combinations
of the things unless it's meant to be that way.
Oh, no. This was they did it more like a like
a playlist. Where? Oh, OK. It was like, oh, you
remember that time in that movie and then. They
acted it out and it's like, oh, that movie. And
then they acted that out. They had Lion King
out there. The latest movie is called Wish. Yep.
Didn't see it. Don't know nothing about it. No,
I don't know nothing about it. Yeah, I don't
know nothing about it. But I got the crash course
while they skated around. And then I shrink.
Yeah. Crash course at an ice rink. There you
go. Talk about hockey, Z9. Three dimensional
hockey. Funny is they actually brought the Zamboni
out for halftime. Very cool. It was cool. Very
cool. Very cool. All right. What are we talking
about? We got something about RAD. Something
about cave trolls. You don't like Harry Potter
either, do you? Not my thing. Call yourself a
geek. Holy cow. All right. Yes, I am. I am a
yeah, I am a space geek. I am not a fantasy geek.
There is a huge difference. A sci fi. All right,
I get it. I'll buy that. Yeah, for a dollar.
So buy that for a dollar. So the the deputized
rat frees all the animal agents. They go back
to Whatever they put the sun They put the earth
of the Sun Wow they put the earth back to its
proper orbit He attempts to program the in either
which is still a stupid name to reversing the
process but Rodney and Engages into a fight with
him over the controls. I hate Rodney. I cannot
overstate that enough. He goes to jail though,
right? I'm pretty sure he. I hope to God he goes
to jail. I sent him out to Gitmo. Just a deep
dark hole. Oh, I was going to say, there were
a lot of, you know, we've seen Love Muffin before.
There were a lot of pharmacists in this. And
I really thought that there, I didn't think there
were that many. We'll put it that way. Yeah.
Too many pharmacists. If this was too many pharmacists,
next episode? That's when everybody turns into
a pharmacist. Yeah. Well, everybody turns into
a zombie pharmacist copy of Doof. But not evil,
per se, just - Not evil, per se, but - Disguided
and possibly infectious. yeah very very infectious
like put a mask on and don't breathe on me no
mask mandates that's illegal now put a mask on
don't breathe on me you know like it's like that
old police song don't stand so close to me like
a big yellow flag don't sneeze on me that's right
The references we've pulled out of our ass tonight
folks. Oh, I don't remember the episode so I
got to be to say something but uh I watched it
like twice and honestly the bits and pieces of
it that are memorable and the rest of like white
There I don't understand Ah good times though
I remember like, what did I like about the episode?
And I liked in the beginning when they had the
the virtual, you know, the virtual concert. And
one of the locations was the Bean in Chicago.
And I was like, I've been there. You know, it
was like Leonardo DiCaprio pointing at the screen.
I was there. New Orleans, been there. Trafalgar
Square, London. been there. You know, it's like,
that's really cool. And it also showed a bunch
of places that I kind of want to visit. Yeah,
like, oh, wow, that's neat. We, you know, and
he's confirmed now covered my travel bucket list.
Absolutely. Yeah, when I saw him on top of the
bean, I was like, it's in my backyard. That's
right. Sort of. Half an hour commute. Yeah, but
yeah, see folks. He says he lives in Chicago
He doesn't actually live in Chicago. It's it's
half an hour away It's it's adjacent but you
live in a separate state It's half an hour to
drive there another half an hour to find parking.
That's right If you're lucky half an hour to
find parking if you're lucky It's funny, I used
to work in Hyde Park and the joke was, you know,
welcome to Hyde Park, where you can't hide and
you can't park. You can't park, that's right.
So three out of the seven songs are instrumental
repeats, sort of. You got Doof and Puss theme,
you got the Slushy the Clown theme, and then
you got the Mexican Jewish Cultural Festival
instrumental theme. The other songs are... Somewhere
all over the world. I love that song. That was
a great song. I absolutely love it. That was
a good song. Battle Hymn of the Republic, which
sounds like a Star Wars title. Michael's favorite
song, which is Irving's campfire song. Man, I
almost had to gnaw off my own arm like the sol
stuck in the cave. and uh alka is going down
down down i love the i love the songs i think
the songs are good summer all over the world
is the best one i think it was it was a fun song
yeah yeah it was very fun very awesome now it
it wasn't well i forget the name of it but it
summer belongs to you no it's the song that they
sing at the end of uh last day of summer Oh,
I don't remember what that is off the top of
my head. I'm not looking at that yet. It's uh
Man, it's a good song, right? Yeah overall. I
mean like we said curtain call. That's the name
of it. Curtain call. There you go. Curtain call.
Good song Because yeah, it's the last episode
of the series supposedly up until hey look we're
getting the season 5 Getting the band back together.
We're getting the band back together Okay. It's
going down. So I'll cause going down was like,
uh, that was the West side story riff. I just,
yeah. I mean, I don't know. I don't think their
target audience was going to recognize West side
story. The thing is, is that aren't we the target
audience at this point? I know. I thought, I
mean, we'll put it this way, 10 year olds were
their target audience 10 years ago. Now they're
all 20. They still don't know what the hell West
Side Story is. That's very true. Unless they're
like theater geeks, in which case they're like,
oh yeah, I remember that. I know where that came
from 10 years ago. And the rest of it was just
instrumental. So, I mean, there were very few
songs. For an hour. For an hour. I mean, if it
were four separate episodes, there would have
been, you know, six or eight songs. Yeah. This
episode is 11 years old, June 4th. No, June 9th,
2014 for Disney XD, June 20th for Disney Channel
US airings in 2014. So 11 years old. And I got
to say, though, like they are Yes, they want
to write to a certain age demographic. Yes, they
want to create stories for a certain age demographic.
Yes, Dan and Swampy have created a show here
in Phineas and Ferb to show kids that you can
do anything that you can put your mind to. alka
and doofenshmirtz and evil incorporated and all
of that especially now With love muffin in this
specific episode. I'm sorry no child at all under
the age of 18 Should be aspiring to be fucking
Rodney. Well, it's a villain like like this clearly
a bad guy Yeah, exactly. That's my point. Like,
my point is, is that like, okay, when Wally Burr
was directing Peter Cullen and Frank Welker and
everybody else, and when all of those writers
were writing for Transformers back 41 years ago
kind of thing. They were writing stories that
were for, kind of for themselves, but also for
kids or Looney Tunes. Looney Tunes, perfect example.
Those writers and Leon Schlesinger and all those
guys way back in the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s,
they weren't writing for kids. They weren't,
no. So that's - That was front time stuff. Right,
exactly. And that's kind of my point with this
specific episode. With this specific episode,
this was not aimed at specifically for that song,
for the West Side. Let's go down to where - I
get that they understand they're making a kids'
show, but they write with a definite eye toward
adult humor. They know that the parents are also
watching. Yeah, exactly. So a lot of the illusions,
and I know we sometimes will throw out the illusions
because sometimes they don't really work, but
let's just go through these. Dr. Who in the London
sequence during summer all over the world, the
gang dress up as characters from Dr. Who. Okay,
fine. But how many 10 -year -olds or whatever,
11 years ago, are paying attention to Dr. Who?
10 -year -olds, I don't think they're paying...
Okay. Well, yours are raised right. That's the
difference. Aidan was Doctor Who number 11 for
Halloween when he was like eight, I think. He
wanted the suit, he wanted the bow tie, he wanted
the fez. That was like his choice. Okay. So,
I don't, and this is more of a you thing. Me
well what I'm gonna bring up next is more of
a you and me or whatever more of adult Okay,
sure how many how many kids? 11 years ago, how
many 10 year olds 11 years ago? Know who Romeo
and Juliet and the Hatfields and McCoys are I'm
betting not a lot none of them That's not a real
again. So how many grown -ass adults know who
the Capulets and Montagues are? I mean, that's
Not a whole lot you gotta be You gotta be up
on your Shakespeare for that, you know? And not
a lot of people are. I mean, everybody knows
Romeo and Juliet, but do you know their last
names? Montague and Capulet. Montague and Capulet,
exactly. But, you know, if you - That's only
because we used to be Shakespearean Actaws! That's
right. But my point is most of the things that
are written into a lot of these episodes and
all cart, all, all forms of cartoon thing, like
how many kids in 2014 or that big into the current
events of the president in 2014, Obama was still
in office. Cause he had that second term. So
at least they still don't tell little kids who
the president is I know but like the way this
is is Rodney presumably speaks to Obama himself
when video chatting with the President like it's
it's one of those things in this cartoon like
yeah, where he's supposedly speaking to him That's
right. Kevin Michael Richardson played. That's
right That's right. This guy. Uh huh. Uh huh.
Uh huh. He can do Darth Vader. Yup. He can do
anything. He can do anything. He's so good. Anything.
So good. And I'm not saying kids shouldn't know
or don't know who the president is. What I'm
saying is, is that these writers, these creators,
they will, they are creating this show, yes,
with an eye towards their audience but they're
also creating the thing for themselves like we've
spent 16 17 steves on i think 18 or 19 years
of podcasting, like we create all of these podcasts.
Generally I create it for myself. I put it out
there into the world and hopefully people like
it. But generally I spend all this time recording
with my friends like you and Steve and everybody
else because I enjoy having these conversations
that we have. And I put all the work in because
I want it to be a good thing that I can put out
in the world. But I basically enjoy the process
of having the conversation. I'm having this conversation
with you not aiming it directly at the audience.
We're just having a conversation That's how I
look at it. So that's how I'm looking at this
where What there's no fourth wall to break, right?
It's just no we're just having a conversation
about stuff that we like. Yeah Yeah, no, there's
no uh, it it's over go home turn the This is
not the Ferris Bueller you were looking for.
What are you doing here? Yeah, what are you doing
here? Go home. Oh, get out of here. That's right.
I think that was the first actual end credits
scene I'd ever seen. Really? Yeah, probably.
Oh wait, was that before or after Gremlins 2?
Good question. Gremlins 2 actually had a couple
different ones depending on where you saw it.
Well, we know. You don't gotta look it up now.
Don't do it now. I mean, I'm just saying. No,
no, no. Well, I know next year is the 40th anniversary
of Ferris because Ferris came out in 1986. Really?
Gremlin, yeah. Gremlins 2, the new batch, came
out in 1990. So four years difference. Oh, all
right. So yeah, Ferris Bueller, I think was the
first end credit scene. Well, the first one I'm
aware of again. Yeah. Yep. Absolutely. Now that
you think this now I'm disappointed if there
isn't one I always have to look Unless the internet
says hey, by the way, there is one I always look
And I blame and I blame Marvel. I believe is
horrible. Mostly I stream stuff and I I don't
mind scrolling to the end of the No, it's yeah.
No, it's not a problem. I'm not complaining about
I'm just saying We never, it's a thing that became
culturally aware to do after Iron Man. It's all
Marvel's fault. And now that it is in the cultural
zeitgeist, we always do it. And we always will
do it just to be sure and just to be on the safe
side. And like you said, we're disappointed when
there isn't one. What are the movies that I like?
You know, like superhero movies or Disney animation
and stuff like that. They're all going to. I
don't watch. Like movies that are. Oscar nominated
for the most part, so it's like I I would expect
to see an end credit scene at the end of Oppenheimer.
Awards are stupid. Because some of the movies
I like ever get one of the exception of Star
Wars. Yeah Technical Oscars though that that's
different. That's a different story But they
don't televised that you know, we do it'll have
a red carpet for those. Oh They have a black
carpet for those. They've been black carpeted
Like blacklisted It won't put your ass on TV
We don't care what you're wearing today. Get
get out of here. Go sit down. That's right. We're
lucky we're having a party for you. Come on.
All right. What else have we missed? What else
have we missed? I don't know. I think we've hit
it off. Something about Tortoise in the Hair,
something about Team America, World Police and
that movie either. You know, I'm not a big fan
of puppets. So, you know, but that movie was
just really out there. that was really strange
very very strange uh are we ready to rate this
thing i you know i didn't hate it i didn't hate
it i just think it it was too long yep and it
wasn't enough to like considering it was in a
whole hour yeah like i said i think the problem
with this specific one hour special is They had
so many stories. They had ABCDFGHA. They had
the whole alphabet here. They tried to have the
whole alphabet here. They didn't have, like we've
talked about over the lat, when did we start
this podcast? 2016, 2017. Oh God, we better finish
this show next. I don't know, what is it? 40
episode and not really not one season five stars
just was a 40 new episodes So I think that's
what they said I You know if you go to the wiki
and you click on season five, it's got like ten
listed. Yeah, I don't know I Got to count it.
Yep. Now you got to count it 17 like 17 listed
Which I mean I could see them having you know
But what is the usual season around like 22 episodes
roughly? Oh, no, this actually says number of
episodes 20 So yeah, I thought it'd be more like
22. But yeah, 20 episodes totally doable. I have
501 502 503. Oh, okay. So these are Yeah, they
they they list all the way up to 509 and meet
me Okay, so this is probably a two episode two
episodes a half an hour thing, but they only
look at half of them that so I Googled it All
right. Sure. Don't you just love googling stuff
on your phone folks? Yeah, go be twice last night.
It was fantastic Wait, who googled you last night?
What? My god You haven't seen spaceballs either
you're killing me. Are you oh, dude, don't even
fuck you you know better than that Why are that
man is a gunner I did, sir. That's right. What's
your name? Asshole. Major asshole. What's his
name? Asshole, sir. Surrounded by ass. Don't
even fight. Spaceball is amazing. Anyway, I googled
it. Yes. The answer is, the answer is, in January
2023, during the winter press tour for the Television
Critics Association, Disney branded television
announced that that 40 new episodes of Phineas
and Ferb were ordered to be split across two
seasons with Pavanmire returning as executive
producer. Now I also know - 20 per season. Yeah.
So yeah, 20 per season. I also know from following
Dan on Instagram, from following Mr. Pavanmire
on Instagram, that that is what he said himself.
I would rather get the, get the news from the
man himself, then rely on Google or again, folks
are actually at, but, but if you, if you already
heard it from Dan Poppenmeyer, why would you
feel the need to Google it? That's because I
wanted to make sure. Okay. Anyway, great googly
moogly. Great. Exactly. Great googly moogly.
I so are we at rating for this? I'm leaning toward
a three Yeah It could have gone higher if it
were short Yeah, if we tighten it up a bit trim
some of the fat, right? Yeah. Yeah would have
been better. Yeah, I'm at a two Okay, I'm at
a two all right, I can't I Like I said, I watched
it twice don't even want to watch it again. Oh
hell, okay I will avoid I would cross the street
to avoid this episode 100 % 1000%. Okay. If we
ever, so we're going to have a couple of episodes,
no, no, no, seriously. We're going to have a
couple of episodes of the podcast. After we finished
all of the episode discussions, we're going to
have a couple of episodes where we do top lists
and stuff. If we did an episode of Phineas and
Ferb episodes, we will never watch again. I guarantee
you this would either be number two or number
one on my list. I don't feel comfortable with
that. I have to wear a top while I'm podcasting.
What? I said we're going to have a topless episode.
What? Oh, my God. I did not say topless. I said
topless. Oh, list. That's right. OK, I don't
want to do that either. It's your. Wow. You're
going to hear some podcast ads right after this.
We'll be back to close the show in a moment,
folks. Nice going, Norm. And the next time someone
asks for volunteers to host the Love Muffin Service
Awards, say your own name, Mr. Blabbermouth.
But sir, I made all the arrangements for you.
Yes, and a fine job you did too. We are sharing
the space with another event. What's wrong with
that? What's wrong with that? Do you realize
what would happen if all the other evil organizations
found out we were sharing? They'd be all, oh
look, there goes Love Muffin. They share. They're
cocky and uncoordinated and they wear no name
-brand jeans. Well, maybe some people gotta afford
designer jeans, Julie. Wow. That was... Yeah,

Uh, you know what we didn't talk at all about
the terrifying the addict spider scene was I
Mean after that I was afraid of spiders. It's
like holy crap This is terrifying. This is like
really scary. Yes Poor Candice and her fear of
spiders. She had it bad. Yeah, she had it bad.
And I don't blame her. I saw arachnophobia whenever
that came out. Oh, yes. Best scene of that entire
movie was the nail gun scene. Shoot them fucking
spiders. Shoot them good. Make sure they dead.
I remember, oh my gosh, I can't remember the
name of it now. It's like some 1940s black and
white movie. It's called like Night of the Arachnids.
It used to come on Son of Spangooly, Saturday
mornings. And it was like, I want to say it was
Bill Shatner. And they used, I mean, it was,
it wasn't like the Giant Spider one. That was
a different one. But the one, it used Tarantulas.
And there were, like, hundreds of tarantulas.
It was pretty scary. I mean, yeah, I was like
eight or nine at the time when I saw it. I was
like, holy crap. You're lucky to get me to watch
Charlotte's web, so... Uh -oh. Flansford has
to get over his fierce fighters now. What's gonna
happen if you go up in the attic? What are you
gonna do? Ain't got no attic, thankfully. Not
anymore. I've got to make sure that there's no
spiders in it. No spiders a lot. I'm actually
pretty kosher with spiders. I let spiders live
in my bathroom because they do the work. I don't
want any bugs in my bathroom. But I'm okay with
spiders because they eat the bugs. I'm okay with
spiders outside if they want to just stay outside.
Sometimes if I see them... like a particularly
gnarly one inside. I'll scoop them up and let
them go out. But lately it's been too cold for
that. So I'm like, there's one that I let live.
I'm just like, no, no, you're good. I don't know
why that needs to be a thing. Stupid thing. Don't
make me. OK, good. The thing. It's all right.
I was checking to see where that stupid movie
is. It's on Disney Plus. I'm already paying for
Disney. The movie the thing did oh the movie
movie. Yeah Oh what movie movie movie movie?
Rob Reiner movie that I don't want to watch.
Oh the Princess Bride. Yeah It's on Disney Disney
Plus All right Absolutely no reason not to watch
that movie. It's an excellent. They buy a TV
you watch how could you not have seen this movie?
That's why it's on Disney Plus distributed by
20th century Fox they own Fox So that's why it's
on Disney Plus. Hey, at least it's somewhere
that I don't have to pay for it anymore. Yeah
That's about it
No chapter markers for this episode.
