Hello and welcome to another episode of Who Are These Podcasts, I'm Kevin. And I'm Carl. And we listen to podcasts that you don't have to. We want to remind our listeners you can visit us on WhoAreThese.com and on our Facebook page. We're always looking for new podcast suggestions, so leave us a comment. A suggestion or post a death threat. Today's show will be reviewing a podcast called BabyCenters Club Club. As always, we have listened to the episode separately.

We have not discussed it with each other beforehand. So without further ado, let's find out once and for all. Who are these podcasts? It's showtime. music I'm dubbing ATP. I was waiting for you to do it first. Well, you know, you don't have to wait for me. We have a new jingle, and it's probably good to play right out the top here, the W-A-T-P jingle. W-A-T-P! W-A-T-P!

Beautiful, ladies. Thank you very much. That was so nice. Yeah, well, you know, you got to remind people what they're listening to people have very short attention spans these days So yeah, figure pop that in every 13 or so seconds. That'll really am A-T-P W-I-T-P everybody W-A-T-P! W-I-T-P everybody! W-A-T-P! W-A-T-P! Alright, that was another episode of W-A-T-P, dates you're listening!

Kevin, it's Archie again. We had a little time off. Yes, we did. Um, and then, and then we listened to this show about the Baby Cidder's Club book series. And, um, yeah, this was interesting. So the Baby Cidder's Club was a book series in the 80s that was for little girls. And there's two adult 30-something males reading every book and talking about them. Yes, that's exactly the premise as I understand it from a show as well.

You got the same thing that I did. Yeah, yeah. And and Kevin, this is probably, you know, what you'd expect with a premise like this this but I didn't follow this very well. No, I didn't either. I mean I guess it's probably hard if you've never read the books. Right or whatever. Shhh. About the right or give two fucking shits but yeah I followed it as best I could. Being that I have not read any of these fucking scholastic leader novels or whatever.

So with that said, I have a clip that let's get right into it. My clip that sums up the show for me. Track five. Did you listen to the thing that I said? Yeah, I caught most of it. That's how I felt. I caught myself in Kevin. I listen to a lot of shitty podcasts as you know. I do it on an equally basis. And I caught myself just drifting off and then going, oh, shit, what are they, what are they talking about? They were all over the place with us. Yeah, they really were. And I have another clip too that

that I think kind of summarizes a little bit or it just gives you a sample of what the show is really like Well, Anna Martin is in a lot of ways Much like Shakespeare. Yeah, very prolific. Yeah, very beloved. Yeah Brilliant wordsmith But she's writing for a 13-year audience. Right. So subtlety is iffy. If you think about it, she totally caught us off guard last week with Claudio and the sack of buy.

We had no idea that Claudio was going to be saying goodbye to Mimi. Yeah. And here we are. So she they finished saying that she writes for a 13 old audience, but then they say that they were confused. Are they were caught off guard last week. Yeah, I don't know if that's tongue-in-cheek, but I equip the exact same thing, Kevin, because they go on this long rant about Shakespeare and this dummy who writes books for tweens, and they compare the two. And I have a clip on here that I think, a couple months,

that pretty well It's called they may be reading into this a little too much track 12 Can you work things out like two adults? That's what you always say to me when I'm having a fight with a friend. I was Protesting too much. Isn't that how the saying goes? She doth protest too much the lady doth protest too much me thinks says doth protest too much. Me thinks says Gertrude to Hamlet. Yep. In Hamlet. The play? The play by Shakespeare. Yeah. What the fuck are they

talking about? They use the word protest and they're like, wow that's obviously a Shakespeare reference. No, it's something that close obviously a Shakespeare reference. No, it's starting to close to a Shakespeare reference. I'm reading way too into this. The whole thing in Hamlet is she's lying and so, you know, she's protesting too much and it's like, oh, I think you're lying because this at the head was not even the context of this thing they were reading from the book. It's fucking and they talked about hamlet and Shakespeare for I don't know a good like four or five minutes in the show. I must say Shakespeare wasn't said that must suck is my cock. You are a thusby. I forget about this.

I'm so silly. Yeah, they can, you know, They can suck it's my cock if you will with this fucking explanation of how There's Shakespeare, you know, punched into this baby's enters club or whatever they think is the subtext here for these Yeah, books are not these books are not deep these books are fucking terrible they're for little kids and I I'm not understanding what their obsession is with them you know the whole thing obviously they're trying to go for a tongue-in-cheek thing like oh we're two you

know dudes they're gonna read these like you know I think that's what they're going for and I certainly hope to gov it's what they're going for. And I certainly hope to gov, that's what they're going for. Like try to be funny. Like if we- But they're all, yeah. Yeah, they are. They're totally all in with it. And I mean, I guess I might or their commitment

to the bit if that's what they're doing, but it's- Even Andy Koffee would be like, all right, enough already. I'm not ready to get more of these fucking books. I'm gonna go play Mighty Mouse, fuck this. All right, Jesus Christ. I mean, seriously, they're reading hundreds and hundreds of pages of garbage. And you're telling me that it's for a bit

that you and I aren't even sure if it's tongue and cheek or not. Right. I mean, swing in a mess, I guess. Yeah, and they really know the books well. It's not like, you know, if you gave me one of these books, you know, for WATP, you were like, read it. I would be like, I kind of skimmed it. You know, like, you know, if you gave me one of these books, you know, for WATP, you're like, read it. I would be like, uh, yeah, I kind of skimmed it.

You know, like, you know, like, you're stuck. You're stuck, you'd quit the podcast. Well, yeah. Carl, not reading a fucking book. I can give you like a good book. You'd be like, no, Carl, I'm not reading a fucking book. Fuck off. No, but I mean, it's, uh, you know, they, they did their homework, you know, they really read these

books and really do an analysis of the story and shit. It's kind of impressive on one level just because they've actually committed to doing it. But it's like at one point, does it cease to be a comedy podcast? Let me play Devil's advocate. Let me ask you this. And does it cease to be a comedy podcast and be what? Let me play devil's advocate. Let me let me ask you this. All right. Did they do an analysis of the book?

Because I listened to the show multiple times trying to figure out what they were talking about. And I get the gist of the book is that this stacey character used to be within the babysitters club. And then her parents moved her to New York City and then her parents in this book are getting a divorce and she decides to move back to be in the babysitters club again.

But that's literally all I learned about this book. There's not they don't have any other and did I miss something? Was there more analysis or description than that? Well, I mean, they go into a lot and I don't know if that's part of the books or whatever, because they talk about, I think it's either Connecticut or Massachusetts or something like that's the other, like her parents split up and her dad lives in Upper East

Side or Upper West Side Manhattan or whatever. And then her mom moves back to either Massachusetts or Connecticut And she decides to move back there because that's where the babysitter's club is But now they also talk about witches like is that like a subtext to the book? I have no clue Oh, okay, do you have a clip on that? I do have while I got yeah plenty Okay, is that that gets weird gets weird yeah go ahead and play that let me see what we got here I have I have a bunch of them and this is one of the ones talking about French witch hunters I believe it is when Stacey comes

back and the seven or one again there are 7 babysitters. The circle is complete. They don't need some like vigilante French mother fuckers to do the work that Americans can do in Stony Brook. All right, so I get the vibe that it's like a, like that movie that craft kind of like their, their babysitters club kind of, but it's like they're a bunch of girls So they're like a coven or whatever which is or whatever. Oh, I don't think that's the case You think that's babysitter's club or which is yeah, I thought like mate. Well because he says like they come together the seven are

Our ones Once they're the ones fighting the witches because the the French government actually sends spies to stony brochanatica in order to track down these witches who live there. And the reason why it got brought up is because when stacey moves back into stony brook, they move into the house where the front. All right, so I learned a little bit more about this. I originally admitted, but you know, dude, that whole fucking thing, I see, I don't think ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha you know, whatever they come together and I don't know, that's how I looked at it, I don't know, shit. Yeah, that's fucking funny, dude. I, maybe I'm the idiot.

Because I didn't pick up on that at all and I was going through and reading the titles of all the books and like just the quick explanation of what the books are about and it couldn't be more fucking boring. I don't know who would ever pick up these books in the first place. Like there's a book, the second book is called Claudia and the Phantom Phone Calls.

All right, so you got to picture this. You're a little girl and you're like, oh, babysitters club. And the premise is there's Phantom Phone Calls that are coming in while you're babysitting. It says, the babysitters receive and the premise is there's phantom phone calls that are coming in while you're babysitting. It says, the babysitters receive mysterious phone calls while babysitting young children. Claudia believes the calls are from the phantom caller, a sneaky jewel thief. Best discussion of the book. First off, there's a couple of things going out here. If you're a jewel thief, are you gonna prank phone calls and fucking little girls who are babysitting children?

Is that really on the agenda? Look, I just knocked off a couple of stores, but you know, there's these 16 year old kids that are watching kids up in Connecticut. I think I'm gonna make some phone calls to those guys. I'm gonna scare the shit out of them, because after I steal a big Jew, I gotta get my rocks off. I really like, I like that it's called the Phantom. Like, I thought it was like a ghost. Like, ooooh, what are you wearing? He's like a pedophile Phantom.

Yeah, I don't know what the age of consent is. Connecticut, we should look up that. The other part I thought was really weird about this is the jewel thief angle of it. That's such an 80s thing. Have you ever heard about a jewel thief since the 80s? Yeah, no, you're right. That was totally like... Every other movie was just like this fucking guy said, jewel thief.

He's going to go steal the jewel. It's like, I think we're all over the whole fucking idea that you're gonna steal a jewel. It's totally trackable and traceable. How are you gonna resell the thing that was stolen that everybody knows about? It doesn't fucking make any sense. You know, we're gonna look back in like 10 or 20 years and be like,

remember in the like 2000s when like all the villains were hackers. I remember that like the big thing. I'm sorry, you're right, it's gonna be the exact same thing. Like, oh, as if you could take money from a bank account, hacking it. That's fucking dumb. All right, so that, so the third book is called The Truth About Stacey.

So Stacey is the main character in this book that's the subject of the podcast we just listen to. But this is fucking fun, I dude. So here's the description. Stacey has a problem and it's not her diabetes. It's her parents. What? What? What? It's pretty bad.

I'm just reading it. She re-solves her problems with her best friend who is a snob while battling a rival club called the babysitter's agency, which consists of irresponsible centers who smoke cigarettes. That's the villains they just, they're, yeah, evil. So you have this babysitter's club, which is already a snooze fast, and then these other fucking girls are starting the babysitter's agency, and they're smoking cigarettes with the babysitter money that they're making. This is a fucking book.

Who's reading this book? And she's like diabetic too. They just pile that on there like, I want the fuck. And Stacy has a problem and it's not her diabetes. I would guess that is also a problem. It's just two problems. The babysitter's club and the adventures of the warm insulin. I like the fifth book in the series is called the babysitter's club and the synchronized men's sees. Yeah, that was a good one. It's a bit about...

Yeah, I got a few more obviously clips here. A lot of just... Well, I guess at the beginning, at the beginning of the podcast, they have a lot of jingles on this show, on this power, about jingles. Yeah, it's like, whatever drops or whatever just like weird shit that they cut to

uh... but there's the intro song uh... which i'll be playing here in a minute and then they follow it up with something uh... kind of funny so here we go hi hi and welcome to the babysitters club club yeah yeah a podcast in which i a lot of people forget that second club yeah Yeah, if we were saying hi, it's important I can tell you I would not I would not miss a chance to club either one

I thought I had the theme in there, but apparently I I didn't Oh, I'll give you the theme. It's track 11. I call it this theme song sucks already. It sounds like a bowie tune in the beginning and then it sounds like flight of the concords at the end. You're giving it way too much credit there. In the 80s we went up to the star of us and then we babysit a lot of people. You know Kevin I got to tell you this whole book didn't seem to be about babysitting at all. Yeah, I heard very little about babysitting. I was a little bit bummed out. I'm like, oh, is the refrigerator privileges or not?

They unlocked the cable box. They let me watch in the max Scramble porn I think I saw a booby 80s and scrambled boobies you kids you don't even know you don't even fucking yeah You really don't like occasionally occasionally you would see like like occasionally, occasionally, you would see like some ass, like, ass crack, but it was hard to tell whether that was ass crack or like if it was a dude ass crack or girl ass crack, or if it was just like their arms, you know, like, you know, either way I had a semi, so it didn't really matter to me. So let's play another clip and we were talking about how they really do read these books and they actually

You know they can't pretend what they're what they're reading play track seven So maybe diesling bring fucking stacey McGillback. It's not about stacey. I agree worst babysitter They're judging how good of a babysitter the characters are this but I agree she's not a good babysitter. Ugh. They're judging how good of a babysitter the characters are in this book. I agree. She's not a good babysitter. But she does have her merits. You know, she's fashionable.

Like, what are we really talking? She drank all the Kool-Aid in the fridge that one time she bids you that. She put in more than what they recommended for a amount of sugar. These kids are wired. She let the kids watch way too much adventure time. And that's like kind of an adult cartoon. And then I have another track out here that I just thought was funny because keep in mind

this is a book for little girls. It's being reviewed by these two adults who apparently like it because this is episode 29 and they've done a couple since this Play track 2 Good book today. I tell her do you like it hated it? Oh really? Don't like Stacy don't like confronting divorce. Don't like confronting controversy. Yeah Hmm All right What what does he want out of these books? It's like it's got to be all fucking sunshine and rainbows.

Yeah. He wants like a deep, like a, like some type of like deep, deep meaning into his stories. Like he wants to know why she chose to, you know, go live with her dad and what the moral consequences of that will be living with a single father and he'll have women over and all those things. That's what he wants to know. He wants some deep shit.

He just doesn't want like a surface thing. I think that's what... Well, see, I took it a whole different way. Like, he doesn't even want to hear about like, people aren't getting along. He was talking about that a lot like, oh my gosh, how could you do this? Why are her parents getting a divorce? Like, he can't have any conflict going on at all. You're reading books that are paid for 12 year olds. You're like, I didn't like it. There was too much conflict involved. We should mention the hosts of the show are Jack Shepherd and Tanner Greenring.

And I did a little cyber stocking on these guys. Most of the show are Jack Shepherd and Tanner Greenring. And I did a little cyber stocking on these guys. I found their Facebook pages. And they seemed like cool dudes if they weren't talking about babies there's club I might even have a beer with them. But they both love cats. Jesus Christ. Their profile pictures is just that with fucking cats. Jesus Christ. Their profile pictures is just that with fucking cats all day long.

And I don't know if that's a strong move. I didn't do any research on them personally, but this is very Easter egg and or meta if you will, but anybody who knows the name Jack Shepherd or recognizes it one of the hosts, that's also the character of the main the name of the main character on lost the TV show. And it won't I wish this podcast had gotten lost. Yes, exactly. One of the times in here they do some type of an audio drop and it's a clip of Jack Shepard from Lost saying, we gotta go back, which if you've ever watched a show, you kind of, I guess, realize what that is.

But that just was very meta. So I started to nerd out, but I heard Jack Shepard and I was like, oh, wow, it's like Lost. And then they played something. So obviously they're in on it too. And I thought that they were stage names. I didn't realize that they were... Because what is the other guy's name?

Greentail? What is it? No, it's Green Ring. Green Ring. Tanner Green Ring. It does not sound like a real name. But I assume it's a real name because that is his name on Facebook as well, but who knows.

Yeah, you can't put fake names on Facebook. We know that. Right, exactly. My friend Peter Parker and, yeah, I have a couple of friends. It's not difficult. So I got a few, I just, I call this one, please stop the madness. I captured something. Okay. I just want I call this one please stop the madness. I can't shoot something. Okay, then I like to think of yeah as a

Steer full So that is one of the drops that they do, which is fucking annoying. Yeah, they have segments, which I'll give him credit for, but yeah, that's annoying. Here's another one, little pet peeve of mine here in this one. This heartfelt, rapturous book about one woman's journey of self-discovery is the inspiring true story of how Maureen left everything she knew behind to learn hope, to capture joy, and to be surprised by love again in suburban Connecticut. Right outside of Stanford. I fucking hate the record scratch. You know, I had both of those clips and that one I have, I called it the overused needle

scratch and they actually used it twice on this show. Yeah, they did, which annoyed me even more, but. Right, it's like you already did that gag and they came back to it later and it's not that long of a show. It's like, ah, okay. There was a time that every movie trailer like comedy movie trailer had that right record scratch in it. And it got to the point where it's like it's not even you're talking about you know kids that are going to see these movies, they may not even know what a vinyl record is, or what that noise actually is.

They just know that noise means, uh-oh! Like, or... Love it! Yeah, exactly. It's like, it's just, it's transcended what it actually was to be something completely different now, and it's just annoying to me. Anyway, I'll, all right, well, here's something that I thought was kind of interesting.

Play Track 9, and I'll tell you how I interpret this little back and forth. Okay, is it a question? Yeah, please. If I were to crack open a closet right now. No. Okay, this is not the question I was expecting to ask. Yep. Would you take a peek inside with me? Okay, this is not the question I was expecting to ask.

Yep. Would you take a peek inside with me? Yeah, I'll take a peek. So, I heard that and I was like, okay, Tanner just asked Jack if he was to have gay sex. And Jack responded with an enthusiastic yes. That's the only way to interpret that back and forth. Otherwise, it's just confusing. Well, I mean, look, you know, to each his own, if that's what they want to do, you know, oh, yeah, now that there's anything wrong with that, let him go at it. Just turn off the microphone.

Exactly. I don't hear that. Yeah, nobody wants to. So these guys are dorks, and I was telling you about how much they like cast. They have a segment called the burn of the week and it was bizarre. I didn't really understand it but I have a clip that I want to play. Gotcha. Look that up. We can burn the week is on you Jack Shepherd because your favorite book is probably millions of cats. Oh, you son of a bitch Did you remember that part of the show where they like got they like had a segment They had like the little sound effects and everything just like these other things. It's like the burn of the week Yeah, I don't know like what what they're going after with that Yeah, I wasn't sure

You know, you gotta go fuck yourself. Yeah, I wasn't sure. Sure. Yeah, I didn't understand that one at all. I love that we're mocking him off, we're having drops. And then we got to. Yeah, actually, since you bring that up, we have a new jingle that's pretty fun. And it has to do with the fact that we just make fun of

people for the subject of their podcasts. Not even the podcast itself. Play your podcast sucks. Pants, emojis or GI dough. Hard is going to let you know your podcast sucks. That's a foul. Oh, that's another, I like that one. I also like this one

Yeah, it had been 13 seconds that you played that you got to get back get on the ball there. Yeah, sorry Yeah, I was I slipped so so Cabin as you know I've Made little song bits out of these podcasts that we listen to. You have? So yeah, I have in the past from time to time. And you know, I would say that they're hit or miss, but the word hit would make that incorrect. This time, however, I fucking nailed it, dude. This is I'm pointing to right field.

I'm calling my shot. This is epic and amazing and brilliant. Play the BSC set to music clip. I can't live a lie running for my life. I will always want you Yeah, it came in like a Came in like a wrecking ball Nailed it Brilliant Oh yeah, I don't know what I was thinking with that. I'm sorry I wasted everybody's time. So that's the trick. It's just to use that actual song

and then just put a clip of them talking into it. All right. I literally, you know, you hear about trigger warnings. It fucking triggers me. Every time I hear them, any of these pockets, if they say something that's a song lyric, it just fucking triggers me. I'm like, ah, song lyric, I gotta fucking,

so worst. Like that one time we were listening to a moji rap and they were like, yeah, so then he sued, sued, sued, sued, sued me and then you were like, oh, I gotta play sucessudio. Right, exactly. You get that in there. For that time that we were listening to that podcast

about pens and the guy was like, hey, we want some pussy. And I was like, oh, I got a fucking dress from two lights crew now. Yeah, it happens. So more than the audience probably realizes, you know. But yeah, it happens all the time. It's bizarre. It's almost like I pick them that way.

So I have a clip on here that's more of the same, but this is like literally the first thing they say When the podcast starts after that terrible theme song and I call it nonsense right off the bat track one Yeah, if we were saying hi It's important and welcome to the babysitters club. You would expect us to be Christie and Mary and yeah, wow. You just went there. That's what it is isn't it? and Marianne. Yeah, wow, you just went there. That's what it is, isn't it? Oh, what the fuck are they talking about?

I think facting people to listen to this show to be as invested in the characters as they are. I mean, seriously, are you like, are you supposed to be listening to this and going like, I don't know, I think I'm more like Marianne. I don't know who's Christy, but I'm fucking fucking about. I didn't even hear anything you said because I was laughing at this. What the fuck are they talking about? That's fucking crazy. What the fuck are they talking about?

What the fuck? It's so bizarre. Oh my god, that's great. Yeah, I don't, I don't fucking know what's what's going on with this, but Let's see I got oh there's another drop that they have Would you, uh, would you take a peek inside with me? Yeah, I'll take a peek into... Claudius Closet featuring guest star Alan Gray. Do you have guitar solo in the background there? Yeah, yeah, sounds like one of those little...

They used to have like these guitar key chains. You'd like pushed a button and be like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. It's the most generic shit. They actually have musical credits on each of their shows. I don't know if you caught that. But I was trying to figure out if these are, like, their friends who are contributing music to this

or if they're grabbing it from actual recording artists, I couldn't think enough. Friends. Good point. All right. Did you imagine if we put musical music credits on our podcast, we're like, yeah, I'd like to thank Miley Cyrus and the isotopes. Of course, the isotopes.

The isotopes. Of course, the isotopes. The isotopes.com. So I don't know if you did you stick around after the show ended? They had like this little band. Did I stick her sound? Yes, I I'll go with them after. I went back to the after party in the closet. Yeah, I was there yep I picked in the class No, they they do this thing they're talking French at the end did you listen to this part? Eclipse it. Oh, I listen to it. Oh Toiletimes. Yeah, it's infuriating, but I'm gonna let the audience judge for themselves. U, du, toa, cat, tra, I don't like it, what you're doing with the R there. Kat, tra, cat, don't get too hung up on it, it's just kat, it's like cat. And then. Cat. Cat.

Good. 1, 2, 3, 4. Now I'm worried about your 1, 2, and 3. We're going to all shake you as well. They're good. 1, 1, 2, 2, 3. Let's get that. 3, 3, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, perfect.

Dude, I hope the next time they're pricing their French, they're in Paris during the next terrorist attack. Oh god. Oh, ew. I hope these two retards are getting bowed down. And the name, wow. Jesus. Yeah. I hope these two retards are getting bowed down. And the name, wow, Jesus.

Yeah. I was like, I'm just gonna have a fun little bit with this. I'm just gonna like make fun of their patch. And I'm like, fuck these hats off. Yeah, I want them to die. I think, bar. Ha, ha, ha. Huh?

B-b-a. B-b-a. Yeah, it was a bit ridiculous at the end there. And it was like after the show ended. Just like they did they I hope those Gihotists wherever they come up That would be for the audience. That's four that would be four Yeah, I did I learned I

Actually majored in French and high school, which I don't understand why and I can't speak any of it So I think you can major in things in high school, which I don't understand why, and I can't speak any of it. So I think you can major in things in high school. Oh, I did. Talking about. I majored. I majored in that and computers. And guess which one I'm doing now? You're right.

French. I'm Frenching my computer. Frenching it. You were all set up for the future, man. Oh, yeah. French in it. You were all set up for the future, man. Oh, yeah. French in it. I got my robot girlfriend. I'm Frenching a computer. So, um, I don't know, that was my take away from the show. I honestly thought these guys seemed like nice guys. They're probably pretty cool cool but what a

weird fucking topic and what a bizarre show to have where they go through these dumb tween books and really talk about them as if anybody is also reading them or gives a shit. Yeah I mean it's I feel like it's a fine line so I mean they chose to do a quirky podcast, but then it's like, all right, well, we can't just get on there and be like, we don't know anything about each of these books. They have to actually do work. And that's kind of like, to me, it feels like

that would be the type of podcast that I would agree to do. And then two episodes that I'd be like, fuck this. I can't read these books for every show. Like, it just, almost like, almost like I do with whtp where I'm like fuck I can't find anything to do but yeah I feel like they you know they have this concept and are like oh we should totally do a podcast for that and now there are 30 episodes in and either they've decided that they really like these things or they're really, they really do like these things or they're just, they don't know what else to...

Well, they're comparing the author to Shakespeare and I don't even think they're joking about it. I think they really do like these books. Yeah, yeah, you're probably right. I mean, they got it. They're not goofing on it. They're not goofing on the book itself. They're actually describing it and talking about how they worship the author and water on the show Yeah, it's it's is weird I guess I it's fun here. I feel like it would be more

Acceptable or I I could see it being like JK Rowling like they were really into Harry Potter so they you know review really into Harry Potter, so they reviewed all the Harry Potter books or whatever. Like that is easier for my brain to comprehend because I know there's lots of you know adults that read the Harry Potter books as well, but this is just such a weird kind of obscure. I guess it's not obscure if you're a girl in a, you know, 14. You've probably read one of these books before. Actually, do they still make them?

Do we know that? Do they still make them? Let me look on the wiki page. But you know, Kevin, I would have more respect for them if they fucking read Dr. Suspux, anything other than these fucking N.M. Martin books. So let's see here it's always shit Kevin holy shit there hundreds of bugs. Maybe they're just like let's start a podcast

they could never add. Yeah maybe. It looks like it looks like the last one was in May of 99. The fire at Mary Ann's house. This is the other thing about these books. It's like the fucking title gives away everything about the plot. How exciting could it possibly be? So book 131 from May of 99 is called The Fire at Mary Ann's House. This is Mary Ann's house catches on fire and her family considers leaving Stony Brook. Is Mary Ann going to leave the babysitters club?

Oh, shit. Well, at this point, Mary Ann going to leave the babysitters club. Oh shit. Well at this point Mary Ann is 32 years old. She probably considered leaving the babysitters club. She actually has a home baby. Yeah get your resume in order. Get yourself out there Mary Ann. Jesus Christ. We started as an 85. So if we were going to let's let's do it. Oh, not a second, Kevin. I'm sorry. I don't mean to interrupt you, but apparently there was another series called the Baby Series Club Friends Forever that then went into the 2000s. And yeah, we listen to the, we listen to my little pony podcast and that show was all about friendship and being friends forever and What is it with nerds and these fictional people being friends with each other? How is that exciting or fucking interesting for anyone?

Because having friends is like a fantasy For me like having the force and defeating Darth Vader would be like a fantasy, but these retards just like, oh my god, they're friends, and they're still friends. Me! I didn't even freak about what I started picking my nose in front of them. We're still friends! So, what, if you and I were going to do a podcast like this. So let's say we do another podcast, and we're gonna review a series of books from whatever, from our youth or whatever. What would you think we should choose?

50 Shades of Grey. I have a memorize, so. That's only one book. No, I think there's a number of books in that series. Oh, there is, okay. Yeah, there's I think there's a number of books in that series oh there is okay yeah there's 51 shades 52 oh book would you pick Kevin what do you think what book series well you know it's it's hard like I was a huge fan of choose your an adventure so I think that would be a good one all so series that's a book style yeah and well that while that's true, but there was a

shit ton of them. Well, I'm about to have Clifford, the big red dog. What if we just did like an entire podcast? What's Clifford going to get himself into this week? Oh, no, we'll have to see when we tune in next week. I love that idea that we would do choose your adventure because you would I would retotally different books that I'd be like yeah I'm really part way to get the water falling like no we never got to a water fall. I died after chapter two. Exactly.

The Thomas Fuckin' Dick Ruster review. That would be an actual fail. I like I really like those books when I was, when I was, you know, it was a really cool, like, shit to read when you're, and they had like a, they weren't Chewjorn Adventure. They were something you're faked or something, but they were Indiana Jones. They had a whole series of Indiana Jones ones that were like a knockoff of Chewjorn Adventure Adventure and I fucking love those. You know what I liked about those books? I'm not a huge fan of reading so I like that you'd have to read every page. Like you could like skip

a whole bunch of pages if it didn't here. You're actually supposed to do that. Like all right, I can get into this. There's still weren't enough pictures for my liking but I like the fact that I was just skipping over dozens of pages of it. Go to chapter 40. Fuck yes! That was so much of this! Yeah, the choose your own adventure shit was um... was short-lived. I think video games probably made that obsolete pretty quickly. Yeah, yeah. I don't know.

I'm sure they don't make them anymore. I mean, I think it would be kind of interesting for today's generation maybe if they actually read, you know, for them to check that out. Who knows, maybe they still make them in some weird form or something. I don't know. Anyway, come to the show with more research. We're not just gonna fuck it throw these things out there. Sorry, I was even member berries all night.

Man, but choose your own adventures. Man, be a choose back at. Man, yeah, man, the millennia Falcon. Fucking hilarious. All right. Well, I don't know. I don't have anything else that I think needs to get played. Yeah. It's a show.

I mean, either. Okay. I mean, I just had some other notes about it. There was a point in the show where they started to speculate on which adults might hook up with each other and they were talking about how they ship certain people, which is apparently I never heard maybe you have apparently that's a slang word meaning that you are interested in someone's relationship. Yeah, I heard that part too, they explained with and I've never heard that in my life.

Okay, yeah, I mean either, but it was just odd to me, again, adult men reading fictional characters that aren't even interesting are like, I want someone, so to hook up with someone, so. And then they were having a debate over it. I was very surprised at the content of this podcast. I didn't know what to expect, I guess. But then when I was actually listening to these retards talk about the babysitter club books, I was like, wow, this is not where I saw this going. They're all in on the characters.

Um, and so I started going around, I wanted to find somebody for us to listen to next week that's different than this. Um, and I went and I listened to a whole bunch of different podcasts and trying to find some weird topics or just kind of like interesting premises. And I realized something because I was doing this, Kevin. Listening to people's podcasts is like listening to their private conversations because no one else is hearing this.

They shouldn't be putting it out there as a broadcast. I actually feel bad for the NSA. Just going through and listening to all these guys, I'm like, who the fuck cares? I would sit there and be like, okay, can we do this show? I listen to her for a few minutes. I'm like, holy shit. This is mind-numbingly awful. Who would ever listen to this? By the way, this would be a good point for you to drop a jingle or something to keep us interesting. W-A-T-P-W-A-T-P. So after looking through all of these podcasts, I decided to pick one that would give us a fighting chance.

You know how the Harlem and Globe Trotters would play the Washington Generals? And it just gave them an opportunity to really show off and pull off their sweet dunk moves. Well, here's my Washington General style podcast. Play next week's teaser. The woman claims that Jeffrey, that she met Jeffrey and he asked her for a ride and on the way he whipped it out. Like the sign felled up the so wasn't that a sign felled up the so he whipped it out.

It out. No, it it out out. That's it that we know that. Jeffrey. We know anything about sign felled. Do you see that? I really watch Seinfeld. The only episode of the Seinfeld. I remember watching

Seinfeld. Yeah, episode. Get about Seinfeld. What about you whipping it out? I'll recall whipping it out. Whoop Nazi. I mean, well, I actually know what this is already. Yeah, I thought you might. Yeah. It's Rovers Morning Glory.

Correct, yep. And this show is another Morning Zoo show. We did man college, there's a lot of fun. This is God Awful Radio Slash Podcasting. Yeah, it's really funny that you chose this one because I know somebody who's submitted suggestions to the show before. This is like one of his favorite shows to listen to. Oh, no shit. There's actually a Rover fan out there. Yeah, yeah. There's

a lot of Rover fans believe it or not. Wow, slow down. A lot. He's like, what, syndicated. He's in, well, he's in Rochester, right? In your area or? I have no idea. I haven't turned on FM radio in years. Okay. I honestly don't know. I thought he used to be at one point.

He replaced Howard Stern and it was super depressing. That was back and that was a long time ago. Right. But I think he might still be on the air up in Rochester. But I think he's on a, based on a Cleveland or a Cincinnati, I don't know, somewhere in Ohio. I think he's based out of, and syndicated one of these morning radio shows that's, you know, in syndication or whatever. But yeah, this will be interesting to listen to.

I've actually listened to the show before previously, so I'm a little bit familiar with the the cast of wacky characters and whatnot, so yeah, you know, doozy, and dumpsy, and dopesy, and yes, yep, so yeah, that should be good. So this is September 30th, it's a Friday morning and the first part of that episode. And that's the show we'll be listening to in reviewing next week. Should be a fun one of fucking morning zoo. We, We is correct. So please join us again next week because it might be the show where we find out once and for whom. Who are these podcasts? Sleep well, every pony. Music I don't know. I don't know.

I don't get it. Makes no sense.
