Hey, folks, it's David.
And Graham, and you're looking good.
Yeah. Yeah, what are you doing?
Yeah, boy, ah.
New haircut or just muscles?
What's happening?
Did you put beer goggles on us?
Yeah, man, you look good.
Anyway, hey, here's what's happening.
The Max Fun Drive is coming up very soon.
Yeah, I'm excited as hell.
And every year we have a couple weeks
where we ask people to support the show
and this year is just the same.
Absolutely, and you may not know if you haven't joined
that Dave and I are the kings of Boko and-
Bonus content, it's bonus content for the end of this.
Yes, yeah, and we put out a great amount of them
and they're so, so funny, the episodes.
You wanna hear them.
And so we thought we would just let you have
one of this year's many bonus content episodes for free
as a little teaser to get you, prime your pump.
And this is like, yeah, this is like a Costco,
you know, little nibbler. This is like a sample, yeah.
A little sample.
Except you can have this whole episode.
Yeah, you would deserve it.
It's an episode where we watched old episodes
of the Rosie O'Donnell show
and tried to guess what her intro was gonna be.
And you know what?
It was fun throughout.
We were at the beginning of the episode,
we weren't sure if they did it every time.
I thought we were gonna be out of content so fast.
You're gonna hear it and keep an ear out
for Max Fun Drive coming up very soon.
And you know what, whatever you're doing, keep doing it.
You look good.
Well folks, thanks for listening.
And from all of us here,
should we do another bonus episode?
It sounds like we're ending an episode.
It sounds like it's ending.
Like you just, this is,
you got what you paid for this month.
We hope you enjoy it.
I just got an idea for another bonus episode. It's we you hear like the last five seconds of an episode and then you just hear us muttering to ourselves for 45 minutes.
That means you're a member of Max Fun and we're glad to have you. A lot of people say this and it doesn't, you know, it's never been more true that we're
the kings of Boko.
And so you're lucky, you know, it's you're playing, you're playing the game and you're
coming up with all aces because here we are doing another episode.
But this time it's a brand new style of show.
This Dave invented a format.
And I can't wait.
Take it away, Dave.
Okay.
So we got a few weeks ago.
Boy, who was our guest even?
Oh, wasn't it Christine?
I want to say it was Bort Dog.
Yeah.
We were talking about the Rosie O'Donnell show.
And we-
If people out there don't know the Rosie O'Donnell show,
tell a brief synopsis.
Rosie O'Donnell was born in 1962 in Brooklyn.
I don't know, is that right?
How far do you think I am from the right age?
1962, yeah, I'd say that's probably the right you know what I'm gonna go 1958
Uh 58
I don't know. I'm gonna guess that's my guess. Okay
She was born in oh my god. Why did I question myself march 21st 1962?
Yeah in brooklyn
Comac comac C, C-O-M-M-A-C-K, New York.
Okay.
So she's a New York girl through and through.
Well, it depends where this place is.
Yeah, it's on Long Island.
Long Island, okay.
And so she- Kaboom, she comes into existence.
She comes into existence.
Now, her childhood childhood fraught.
Oh, really tough.
I have a picture her as being a real tomboy growing up.
That's that's I picture her fishing
and keeping a frog in her pocket.
Yeah, I mean, tomboy.
That's why she loved Tom Cruise so much
because they could relate to the Tom stuff.
You only raise times of Maine. She listens to the Tom stuff. She only wears Toms of Maine.
She listens to the Tom Tom Club.
Mm-hmm.
Et cetera.
And so she's a comedian.
Yep.
And she started out as a standup comedian.
She rose to fame.
She played Rizzo in Greece on Broadway.
She played a woman in bondage gear in Exit to Eden.
What's the one where she plays a developmentally challenged?
The bus.
Riding the bus with my sister or something?
Yes, that's the one.
Of course, she was at her pinnacle, Rosie O'Donnellness, when she was in a league
of their own.
A league of their own, my favorite as well.
Yeah.
Her and Madonna made quite a duo.
They really do.
And they were friends off, I don't know if that's how they became friends, but they were
friends off air as well.
Honestly, if they did a spin-off with just those two, they went, they're further adventures in baseball,
I would have loved it.
I would have watched that.
The very end, when I ran the kid casting website.
Oh yes.
At the very end, there's like all the people
from the 40s, 50 years later.
The people they cast as old Rosie O'Donnell
and Madonna were perfect.
Oh yeah? So it wasn't them just wearing old makeup?
No, it was two different actresses. And also the guy they got to play,
there was the shitty little kid running around the team, and the guy they got to play him at the end was
former Vancouver mayor Kennedy Stewart.
That's not true.
No, but he looks like him.
It's the guy from Pee-wee's Big Adventure.
And yeah, what else was the in?
He was in Teen Wolf.
He was one of the-
Yes, he was on the basketball team.
Basketball team, yeah.
And so the Rosie O'Donnell show was a thing that she hosted.
What years would you guess?
I would guess either like the end of the tail end of the 90s or the day.
I would say in the 90s, like 97 is when it would have started.
It started on June 10th, 1996.
And then went till 2002, June 27th, 2002,
when it was taken over by, in a hostile takeover,
taken over by?
Ellen?
Remember?
No, Caroline Ray.
Caroline Ray?
Oh, Caroline Ray.
Yeah.
She's had an interesting career.
She's played a witch.
Well, that's for another episode. Well, that's for another episode.
Yeah, that's for our Carolyn Ray episode.
So, but when we were talking about the Rosie O'Donnell show,
now this was like a nighttime style talk show in the afternoon.
Yes.
Perhaps the first of its kind.
She was at a desk.
She had guests on, celebrity guests, not just like Donahue style guests.
Yeah.
And she would be like, it would be celebrities, right?
It would be like big name.
Yeah, it wasn't like Gigi Allen or something like that.
It was like-
It was rarely Gigi Allen.
Although when I say it's the first of its kind,
certainly Regis was doing the same.
Oh, sure.
I mean, Regis, but you could say that about a lot of things.
Regis was at the Genesis of a lot of different things. We love Regis. I hope he's up there just
crooning with the whole rat pack, which he was kind of friends with. Yeah, he was known for his crooning. Anyway, so in this Rosie O'Donnell show,
I loved it by the way, when it started.
I did too, yeah.
Cause I was trying to think, when did I watch this show?
It came out in June, started June 10th of 1996.
And I'm like, I bet that whole summer I watched it.
Cause I think it was probably on like at three o'clock.
So I couldn't catch the beginning when I was in school,
but all summer long, I was-
And she was going right up against Oprah, wasn't she?
I don't know.
That stuff was not a part of my awareness.
I understand.
Anyway, so in every episode, we'll play the theme.
You know what? Let'll play the theme.
You know what?
Let's play the opening of an episode.
Yes.
And we'll get a handle on it.
I'm Melissa Shotlin from Block Island, Rhode Island.
And this is the Rosie O'Donnell show.
On today's show, Regis Philbin meet Rosie's classmates
and Scott Wolf.
Hit it, John!
So they just had some random person from the audience.
Right.
Announcing the guests.
And then they play this theme song, this animated intro.
Ah!
Hurry!
Grab the seat!
Rosie, come away!
Come on, let's do larger surprises!
We will be full and big, so it's a brand new day! Feeling great, there's no need to wait. Oh, Scott Wolfe was on this episode.
Yeah.
Way to bury the lead, I say.
Well, she said it in the intro.
She did?
She said Scott Wolf?
I only heard the reed.
Yeah, well, you got tunnel vision when you heard that.
Anyway, so they do this little intro.
It looks and sounds like-
It's an animated, very silly kind of route, yeah.
It looks and sounds like the nanny intro.
Yes, yes.
And it's all sorts of hilarious image.
She's going to space.
It's her as a kid.
But the thing that I always remembered was
you hear who the guests are going to be.
And then she does a little,
well, she said right there,
he's a man of prestige, my good buddy, Rej.
Yeah.
Which is a classic.
Yeah, I mean, what do you mean?
I mean, it's a, he's a classic.
And I mean, it's just the rhyme.
It seems like it's probably been used before,
but maybe not, maybe she invented it.
Do you think she wrote these things?
Well, here's the thing.
On today's bonus episode,
now that we've got a new little backstory,
Graeme and I will watch a bunch of these intros and try to guess what her little rhyme is gonna be
Okay. Okay. Yes, this is gonna be good. So your question did she write these things?
Did she write them or was there a writer that like she got a stack of them and kind of I guarantee it was a writer
did a stack of them and she would decided, okay. I guarantee it was a writer did a stack of them and she would just go into the booth
and like pound out a week's worth in a minute.
Yeah, that's right, yeah.
It would be like when Crusty the Clown
is in the recording studio.
Yeah, and so you found several of these openings on-
Well, I haven't watched them.
I just know that there's tons on-
That are on.
On YouTube.
So the one I always remembered from my childhood was
her name is Christine Lottie and she's hot, hot, hottie.
Now who is Christine Lottie?
Christine Lottie is an actress who's sort of hot,
sort of a hottie. Okay. Okay
No, Christine Lottie is
Boy I would put her sort of
Somewhere between Christine Baranski and the woman from the West Wing who played CJ
Allison Janney sort of a nice a Janney sure She's sort of in that.
Oh, Alison Janney, sure, yeah.
Sort of in that ballpark.
Kristy Lott is another actress.
I couldn't tell you what she was in.
But, all right, so let's just see how this goes.
Let's pick one.
Let's just pick this one here.
They're all on YouTube.
Okay, this is, here we go.
I'm Porter Neal.
And I'm Donna Murphy.
And we're from New York City
And this is the Rosie O'Donnell show on today's show Judge Judy author Alice Walker and Vogue WBC TV anchor Scott Walley
Hit it John!
Okay, so we've got Judge Judy
Yeah
I think this one writes itself as far as I've
Alright, what do you think it's gonna be?
She's a cutie patootie, her name is Judge Judy.
Okay, that is so good.
It feels like that's what it wants to be.
Anything's fine and Taylor's got your arm.
Family fun, agents come on in.
Hey, what the hell is that?
A big high from the Big Apple, New York.
What the hell am I witnessing?
They didn't do one!
We're fucked!
Wait, did I just miss it?
No!
And Vogue!
And some anchor, I'm Dr. Alice Walker. And Vogue. And WBC's TV anchor Scott Walley.
And some anchor, some news anchor.
Alice Walker.
Oh, we are screwed.
Did she not do this every episode?
Well, that was from October 2nd, 1998.
Maybe by then she had phased it out.
Okay, how about the Tom Cruise?
It's another cartoon intro, but in this intro,
there are like real life people that popped up
and like an old lady.
And tell you what city they come from.
Big hi from Big Apple.
Yeah.
As a viewer in Vancouver,
knowing that one day I might be able to
ruin the intro of a TV show.
Okay, let's try another one.
Well, let's not do this one from the day before,
but you were right.
It would have been cutie patootie.
Judge cutie. It's got to be, right?
I am Kelly Mary from Shirley, Long Island,
and this is the Rosie O'Donnell Show.
Today's guests are Felicia Rashad, Gary Marshall,
Phil Collins, and a special Halloween kids segment.
Hit it, John!
Oh, that's good.
Okay, so by the way, she called her Rosie O'Donnell.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
And who was it?
It was Phil Collins.
Who was the other?
I can't really forget.
I know.
I am Kelly Mary from Shirley, Long Island, and this is the Rosie O'Donnell Show. Today's guests are Felicia Rashad, Gary Marshall, Phil Collins and a special Halloween kids
segment.
Okay, so Felicia Rashad, Gary Marshall and Phil Collins.
Okay.
I want to rhyme something with Gary Marshall, but I'm really stuck here.
If this was, so this is a Halloween episode.
If it was a Christmas episode, she'd be saying,
Feliz Navidad with Felicia Rashad.
Oh, that's really good.
Oh, do you think if she does the pun,
do you think it's gonna be a Halloween one?
Because everybody's dressed in crazy costumes.
Oh yeah.
We're gonna be extra scary with my favorite Marshall Gary. There it is
That's well done. And then the shows really ballins with my friend Phil Collins. I don't think we used ballin back then
Oh, really? I thought she was on the cutting edge
the cutting edge. We're gonna get scary with Felicia, Phil and Gary.
Felicia, Phil and Gary, we're gonna get scary.
Nice.
So she looped everybody in.
That's great.
Yeah.
And the cartoon visuals in each one that we've looked are different.
In this one, she's got a baby.
She's got a baby and she puts it in a carriage and like pushes it out of the way she runs
on stage. I don't know if that's true that they had different visuals every time.
Well, no, everyone that we've seen.
Like, I'm sure that they were a whole season's worth.
But go back up for a sec there.
There's a way you're scrolling.
Oh, she was dressed in a pumpkin costume.
That's what I wanted to know what she was dressed in.
Oh, yeah.
Of course she was.
You know what?
I'm just going to kind of, I'm going to Oh yeah, of course she was. You know what? I'm just gonna kinda, I'm gonna mute this,
but kinda just go through it and see.
I wonder if she wore different costumes
throughout the episode.
Oh no, she's still a pumpkin.
Oh, there's somebody dressed as Elmo.
Talking to a big Elmo.
Felicia Rashad is a pile of leaves.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Gary Marshall is, he looks to be wearing
like a mechanics outfit. or just a different jacket
that I'm used to seeing him in.
Yeah.
Phil Collins is dressed as Phil Collins.
What song is he singing?
This is killing me.
I don't know what song.
I love this one. We have each other, we have one voice
Sometimes that we can be the tracks
This was like the peak era of a song like that.
I wonder if that was from the Tarzan soundtrack.
Yeah, I wonder that as well.
Okay, let's get... this was one from July 2nd, 1996.
This was uploaded by Ellen Funk.
Hi, I'm Pat Alexander from Brooklyn, New York,
and this is the Rosie O'Donnell Show.
Today's guests are Cher and for multiplicity,
six-year-old Katie Schlossberg.
Music from Broadway's Bring in the Music, Bring in the Funk.
And from Caroline in the City, actor Malcolm Goetz.
Hit it, John!
Okay.
The fact that it went this step down of share to the kid from multiplicity.
From multiplicity, six year old someone.
Wow, she does four guests every episode.
Oh yeah, she's a machinist Rosie O'Donnell.
But like, I guess there's no time for a skit.
No, but she does a monologue, right?
Oh, sure she does, yeah.
I'm gonna say it's as good as it gets
with my guest Matt Getz. Yeah, I'm gonna say it's as good as it gets with my guess that gets.
Yeah, I'm getting wet with my guess.
Gets, okay.
And who was it?
Cher?
Cher.
Okay.
Boy, change your underwear for my good friend Cher.
Yep.
Or is there something, I can't remember the kid's name,
but it's something about multiplicity.
We're in the big city with the kid from multiplicity.
Mmm pie.
Mmm pie.
She always has a baby.
No, the other one she was rollerblading.
She's precious and she's rare. It's the fabulous Cher.
She's precious and she's rare. It's the fabulous Cher!
She's precious and she's rare.
It's the fabulous Cher.
These are good.
The weird thing about multiplicities, I don't even remember there being a kid in that movie.
I feel like there was a kid kind of in the background, but I want to know this interview
she did with this kid.
Why was this kid on the show?
Because she was... Graham, you know why she was hot was she an ugly, but ugly no
Was she a homely, but only no no
Can we see what one of her like monologue jokes is?
From that day?
Yeah.
We're doing a live show here.
You do the announce.
You're conferring with your friend.
What are you talking about?
She mostly was chastising the audience member who did the intro.
Broadway show is actually called Bring in the Funk, Bring in the Noise.
Yes. But they may think of changing it to Bring in the Funk, Bring in the Noise. Yes.
But they may think of changing it to Bring in the Music.
I don't like it that way too, Pat.
Me too.
You know, you have the right to improvise
when doing the announce, I think.
That is, wouldn't that be horrifying
for the average person to be corrected on live TV.
I would think the opposite.
I'd be like, being in the, the kind of getting roasted by Rosie O'Donnell.
Roasted by the master.
Oh, darn it. OK.
Some of these YouTube clips aren't the actual episode.
So this is here's one I can tell.
It's got the intro, although it looks like it's probably from a bad VHS.
It's from December 18th, 1996.
Oh, let's see what this ad is for.
For good.
The elves this year.
This week it's gifts under $15.
Aldor.
The recording of this is very chaotic.
Ladies box slippers, 6.99.
Ladies leather gloves, 13.99.
Wilson fleece active wear for men, 30% off.
I mean, this stuff, if you showed up in these these 90s clothes now people would think you were the coolest person
Yeah, where did you get it at Cal door? I got it at Cal door 30 years ago
Oh, it's a Thanksgiving scene some people are a little hard to please
Yeah
from a box. Yeah, she's passing potatoes.
Let's hurry up.
Get out of here.
53.
I'm Matt Murphy from Atlanta, Georgia.
And this is the Rosie O'Donnell Show.
Today's guests are Albert Brooks, Kay Ballard, Natalie
Mergent, and Kenneth Branagh.
Hit it, John.
OK.
Albert Brooks.
I'm going to eat bananas with my good friend, Kenneth Branagh.
I think it's going to be like, he's got style, he's got looks.
It's my friend, Albert Brooks. I think mine's gonna be like he's got style. He's got looks. It's my friend Albert Brooks. I think mine's right. Okay
You're trying to be funny I'm trying to nail it
TV commercials easy as pie
What I
Today my top banana is Mr. Kenneth Brenner. What?
I was so close.
What did she say?
She said something banana.
She said something banana.
Maybe top banana?
Today my top banana is Mr. Kenneth Brenner.
Today my top banana is Mr. Kenneth Brenner.
Oh yeah, she's really like not enunciating.
She's trying to record as many as she can in.
So I got it.
I got it.
Pretty much.
That was great.
I'm very, I'm very proud of you.
Okay. Proud of myself.
Now this is one from 1999.
I've, I'm worried that these ones post-98
don't have the little rhyme.
I think I'm for sure post-911.
It was too, too heady a time.
Yeah. People, America was wounded. I think I'm for sure post 9-11. It was too heady a time.
America was wounded and just they weren't ready for... We're gonna be solid with Osama Bin Laden.
With my friend the Golem.
The Golem.
...California and this is the Rosie O'Donnell show.
On today's show show Vanessa Williams and
Eurythmics hit it John
Okay today my top pick is the Eurythmics
Eurythmics
Yeah
That's only two guests that they said yeah Vanessa Williams is gonna sing too probably with the Eurythmics
What song was yours? You saved the best for last? Yeah. Yeah they said yeah Vanessa Williams is gonna sing too probably with your what's

Vanessa Williams she's my top banana it's Vanessa Williams I guess
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, a lot of sketches because they only have the two guests even if Vanessa Williams does a song. She's not going to interview the rhythm.
She might interview your rhythm. That's the bottom part of my ensemble.
Half of my arrhythmics outfit because I'll be performing with them.
You think one of the fun things about being a talk show host is signaling the band went
to stop when you walk out to do your monologue?
I feel like that's a big draw.
Yeah.
She's, it's John McVee and the McVee LT, I think was the name of the band.
That's awesome.
Is that what it was called?
McVee.
John McDaniel and the McD, Daniel, the Cocker Spaniels, John McJohn,
she, his name was John McD McDaniel.
She called him John McD and the McDLTs.
Oh, okay.
So she does it.
She does a bit of a monologue.
She mostly does chatting from the desk with those blue note cards.
And then they're doing some kind of Plinko.
Oh, this is-
Oh, this is Plinko, but it's called InSync-o.
Stacy Shue, 14 years old from Buffalo, New York.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
She's doing some kind of contest that's Plinko, but it's NSYNCO.
I guess this is November 11th, 1999 and NSYNC is as big as it'll ever be.
Yeah.
And then who?
I forget.
Oh, it's Vanessa Williams.
Vanessa Williams comes out in a white suit.
Eurythmics sing.
Yeah.
Oh, and she does talk to them for a while.
Yes, that's good. Oh, and they're dressed in military fatigues.
See that?
Just like dynasties.
Well, they're actually like suits, but they're camo suits.
Camo suits.
Like, you know, like tailored clothing.
All right, now then Rosie is going to do a song with them, and we've got to hear this.
Yes, I will.
Oh, now she's put on the outfit too.
Oh, she's just singing background.
She's amongst their two background singers.
Let's see if she really improvises.
Dave Stewart playing a less called deluxe.
I was born an original sinner.
Do you know this song?
No.
It's a missionary man.
I was born from original man. Such a voice.
Oh, I do not need this long intro.
I do know this one. Yeah. They're not cutting to Rosie singing at all.
No they're not.
Did you know this song's about how she adds her least favorite sexual position?
Is missionary man?
Yeah.
I prefer doggy dial my...
Okay, give me more Rosie.
Yeah. Come on, give me more Rosie. Yeah. Give me one more one more taste
One more we've got half an hour to fill. Oh shit. Yeah, give me more more tastes. We might watch you know the
the nanny theme song later
Yeah, we could we really could go through the view theme song. Do they have a theme song or just an announcement?

Crystal Bernard?
Yeah. And I'm going to say that
it's not going to rhyme, but it's going to be like,

to the Rosie or Donald one,
but I think the animation was pretty similar.
And-
Yeah, the animation was similar.
And for that-
I like a theme song that explains you
up to the current point that you're watching.
Like, okay, this is, I'm setting the stage.
Okay, yeah.
Well, that is a format of the show of the bonus episodes that we will never do again.
Yeah, this was a one and done.
Unless, you know, somebody out there has a bunch of VHS tapes of the Rosie O'Donnell
intros.
Yeah, keep uploading your Rosie O'Donnell intros.
I can't promise.
We're not promising anything.
I don't think we were very good at coming up with the things.
I think we were average.
I think we were right down.
I guess what I mean is we didn't nail what she said.
But I think we were pretty good at getting the vibe of them.
And you know the vibe of Rosie O'Donnell.
Wherever you are now, Rosie, we had a really good time with you and your show.
So thanks for bringing that to us.
Yes, and thanks everyone for listening and, you know, may God have mercy on your soul.
