1
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to favorite production of iHeartRadio. I'm Annie

2
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: Ree and.

3
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 2: I'm Lorn vogel Bum, and today we have an episode

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 2: for you about SpongeBob SquarePants by y.

5
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:22,080
Speaker 1: I'm so excited.

6
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 2: I'm very excited as well. This is one of Annie's

7
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 2: favorite series.

8
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: Yes, oh yes, And in fact, we tried to do

9
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: this episode a while. By a while, I mean several

10
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: years ago, and I got intimidated by the number, the

11
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: sheer number of academic articles written about SpongeBob and the

12
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: foods of SpongeBob. And so here we are. We're still

13
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: not actually tackling those academics. Really.

14
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was a certain point at which I had

15
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 2: to stop, like I had to it was it was.

16
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: When I just told any of this before we started recording.

17
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 2: But it was when I realized that there is a

18
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 2: book that was written about.

19
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: Like the like philosophy, like the study of philosophy.

20
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: Through SpongeBob and I and I was like, Nope, nope,

21
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 2: that's it, that's it. I cannot go into the academic

22
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 2: riggor that has been spent on SpongeBob SquarePants today, so

23
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 2: I have to focus on the Krabby Patty like that.

24
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,839
Speaker 1: Not today, but maybe in the future. Yeah right, so hey,

25
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: I would happily happily come back.

26
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 2: Me too, me too, And I so okay, so I'm

27
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 2: new to this entire phenomenon. I am so like, I

28
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 2: never watched this show. I was a little bit too

29
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 2: old for it when it came out, and then I

30
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 2: didn't have TV for like ten years, and I just

31
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 2: never picked it up, Like to the point that I

32
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: was playing one of those party games one Time Circle,

33
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 2: like twenty ten, where your partner has to make you

34
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 2: guess a word without saying certain other words. The word

35
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 2: was pineapple, and my good friends, my partner was like,

36
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 2: SpongeBob lives in this under the sea, and I was like,

37
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 2: I was flummixed. I had no I was like, what

38
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 2: are you talking?

39
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: Oh dear, oh dear.

40
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 2: But in preparation for this episode, I have watched a

41
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 2: lot of SpongeBob SquarePants over the past week. I would

42
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: I would say that I am now familiar with the show. Excellent,

43
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 2: and I love it now time wasted, you know, but here,

44
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 2: but here we are. But but you you have a

45
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 2: long history with SpongeBob, I do.

46
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: So. I actually remember exactly where I was when it

47
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: first came out because it was so goofy. The premise

48
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 1: was so goofy, you're going to follow the sponge This

49
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: song had come out and it was very goofy. My

50
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: parents were making fun of us for wanting to watch it,

51
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: as being my siblings and a friend of mine that

52
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: was with me on our summer vacation because I didn't

53
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: grow up with cable, which was what SpongeBob came on,

54
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: but it was coming out in summer. We were there

55
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: and we were going to watch SpongeBob and we did

56
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: and we loved it. We loved it, and it just

57
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: became a thing that we quoted. It was just part

58
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: of our a term I've read recently as Faneleckt kind

59
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: of conversation between fans, and to this day, I was

60
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: telling Lauren, they are just quotes. I'm going to apologize

61
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: to you listeners. Some of them will come out in

62
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: this episode that I just have to say, yeah, oh yeah,

63
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: that impactful to me. It is so highly quotable, like right,

64
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: like it is part of mine dialect. After a week,

65
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: so I'm like all right, yeah, sure, yes. And one

66
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: of the reasons that this is coming out now is

67
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: that I recently went to the big NERD convention here

68
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, dragon Con, and we were discussing topics we

69
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: could do that might relate to that, and I was

70
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: saying that a friend of mine was going to cosplay

71
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: as Smitty Werbin. Jaegerman Jensen, who is a very obscure

72
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: character in SpongeBob is in one episode. It's one of

73
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: my favorite episodes. But I was confident in this cosplay

74
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: she was gonna get at least five people say he

75
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: was No. Number one to her within the first fifteen minutes,

76
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: ten people, not even kidding. The first person who came

77
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: up to her said the whole name perfectly pronounced it perfectly,

78
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: gave her a sticker, and I'm telling you it was

79
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: a hit. It was. Oh, I'm so happy for her.

80
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 1: It was awesome. I was. I was thrilled to just

81
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: be in the vicinity and SpongeBob is a pretty big

82
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: cosplay contingent. At dragon Con. Two that I wanted to

83
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: shout out is, uh, We're gonna talk about this more,

84
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: but there's a SpongeBob ice cream popsicle thing, uh that

85
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: historically has looked rather creepy, just in the way the

86
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 1: eyes are somebody was cosplaying as that, yeah, and we

87
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: all knew what it was though, we were like bot

88
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: ice cream. Yeah. And then there's an episode of the

89
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: show where squid Word gets hit in the face and

90
00:05:58,279 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: he becomes hot.

91
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 2: Uh.

92
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: There was somebody there as Hot squid Word and it

93
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: was great. It was so good, y'all.

94
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 2: I was unprepared for the phrase hot squid word to

95
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 2: be facing me in this outline today. Oh, but here

96
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 2: we are, and now I'm rethinking my own Halloween plans.

97
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: So you should look up hot squidtered. It's pretty good.

98
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: And there was a hole there was a huge group

99
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 1: of SpongeBob cssplayers and they were doing like you know, Barnacle, Bory,

100
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: Mormonde man and all the villain cute. It was so excellent.

101
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: But another reason this has been on my mind is

102
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: I've started binging binging binging with Babbish. Yeah sure, yeah,

103
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: And he has a lot of SpongeBob content, And if

104
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: you're not familiar, it's basically like he tries to recreate

105
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: something from a piece of entertainment and then tries to

106
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: make it better. But he has a lot of stuff

107
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: from SpongeBob and it just got me thinking. I was like,

108
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: you know, what I do know about all of this stuff?

109
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,119
Speaker 1: We should talk about it. Yeah. Yeah, Oh, I'm really

110
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: glad that we are. This is great. Oh, I'm so excited.

111
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: But I guess this brings us to our question. Yeah.

112
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 2: If you don't know the answer to the question, then

113
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 2: you are very confused right now.

114
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: Yes, you are, so, let's help you out, all right.

115
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: SpongeBob SquarePants, what is it? Well?

116
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 2: SpongeBob SquarePants is a children's animated comedy franchise that was

117
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 2: originally created by one Stephen Hillenberg for the kid's TV

118
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 2: channel Nickelodeon. It premiered on Nick's Saturday Morning lineup on

119
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 2: July seventeenth of nineteen ninety nine, and it tells of

120
00:07:55,400 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 2: the daily, surreal adventures and misadventures of an anthropomorphic kitchen

121
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 2: sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea alongside

122
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 2: a town full of anthropomorphic marine life and other characters.

123
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 2: Each episode contains two, typically standalone segments running about eleven

124
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 2: minutes apiece, and the concept if you like me not

125
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 2: too long ago are somehow unfamiliar. The concept is that

126
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 2: this guy SpongeBob like a like like an adult person,

127
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 2: like a youngish adult person named SpongeBob who is just

128
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 2: real sweet and nerdy and eternally optimistic. He lives in

129
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 2: this town called Bikini Bottom with his pet snail Gary,

130
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 2: which mews like a cat, and his neighbor's Patrick, who's

131
00:08:54,840 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 2: a sort of simple starfish, and Squidward, an octopus who

132
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 2: is pessimistic all the time. And SpongeBob and squid Word

133
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 2: work at this local fast food joint called the Krusty

134
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 2: Krab under the ownership of mister Crabs, who is a crab,

135
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 2: a very capitalist crab. SpongeBob works the grill there and

136
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 2: he is so happy to do so, and shenanigans ensue.

137
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 2: A lot of it is like relatively normal life stuff,

138
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 2: like the characters work a night shift, or they spend

139
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 2: a day at the beach, or a SpongeBob has to

140
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 2: figure out how to deal with the bully, you know,

141
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 2: but with this like highly surrealist edge to it, you know,

142
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 2: just for example here, because because they're spending a day

143
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 2: at the beach, they live underwater. They live underwater. Why

144
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,839
Speaker 2: are they going to a beach. I don't understand it.

145
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 2: Don't ask too many questions.

146
00:09:54,800 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: Definitely don't it snows sometimes, Yeah, that's fine. Rains yeah.

147
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 2: Hillenberg developed this concept while he was working on another

148
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 2: Nickelodeon cartoon, Rocko's Modern Life, and he decided to pitch

149
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 2: his own show. He was inspired by his longtime love

150
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 2: of marine life, including like watching Jacques Coustau's documentaries as

151
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 2: a kid, and also personal experience working as a marine

152
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 2: science educator at the Ocean Institute in California, Like he

153
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 2: majored in marine biology in college before he went to

154
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 2: do an MFA and experimental animation. Not that SpongeBob is

155
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 2: like highly scientifically accurate, Like one of the characters is

156
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 2: a squirrel who lives in a dome of air in town,

157
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 2: like there is. There's a very intentional and studied type

158
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 2: of nonsense that the show runs on.

159
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: This like really old school like vaudeville to mid century

160
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: sort of humor. So I'm gonna try.

161
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 2: I tried not to write too many like fun facts

162
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 2: about the show into this outline, because we're not like

163
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 2: children's culture show. But but I need I need to.

164
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 1: I read a lot.

165
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 2: I've read a lot about SpongeBob SquarePants in the past

166
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 2: twenty four hours, y'all, and I needed to inform you

167
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 2: that the character was only not called SpongeBoy and the

168
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 2: show SpongeBoy a Hoy because there was an existing copyright

169
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 2: on SpongeBoy from an old newspaper comic strip that got

170
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 2: licensed for a pencil in the early nineteen nineties. Like

171
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 2: you know, you know when pencils have like have like

172
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 2: bright like raps on them. That's why, that's why we

173
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 2: have SpongeBob SquarePants and not SpongeBoy a hoy.

174
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: Oh. I like SpongeBob SquarePants. My little brother his name

175
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: is Bobby, and he would always go as Spongebobby SquarePants.

176
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: It wouldn't have worked if it was SpongeBoy a boy

177
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: oh man. Yeah.

178
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 2: But like real real sliding doors moment there, you know. Also, sadly,

179
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 2: Hillenburg passed away in twenty eighteen, relatively suddenly of als.

180
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 2: He was only fifty seven. But the phenomenon continues. And

181
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 2: when I say phenomenon, like this franchise, if you live

182
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 2: under a rock, like Patrick is a really big thing,

183
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 2: like just a pop culture powerhouse. The show was definitely

184
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 2: Nickelodeon's biggest property for a hot minute. I'm not positive

185
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 2: that it still is, but but it's currently in its

186
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 2: sixteenth season, and has spawned two other animated series, six

187
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 2: animated films, including one that is still in development, a

188
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 2: comic book series I think fifty two video games if

189
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 2: I'm mathed correctly, and a stage musical on Broadway. There

190
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 2: have been theme park rides. There is so much merchandise.

191
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

192
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 2: Also, like its influence is just really far reaching. Like

193
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 2: this Dutch tulip gardener developed spent like a decade developing

194
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 2: this bright yellow tulip variety that is named SpongeBob. There's

195
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 2: a really spongy looking fungus that the describing mycologists named

196
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 2: sponge Offma square pantsy. I yes, and there has been

197
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 2: some rigorous academic study surrounding it. This article that I

198
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,959
Speaker 2: did not read that I'm kicking myself in my non

199
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 2: square pants for right now is called Consumption, Health and

200
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 2: Disposability in SpongeBob SquarePants.

201
00:13:54,920 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: Oh yes, there are so many intense academic articles. I

202
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: said it once, I'll say it again. Wow. People put

203
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: a lot of thought into this. They have they have,

204
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: and I do love I do love it. I love

205
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: it as well? Well? What about the nutrition?

206
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 2: I do not eat children's animated comedy franchises, no matter

207
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 2: how popular they are.

208
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: There's probably a SpongeBob episode that I could we could

209
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: relate to this. There's a lot of strange episodes, even

210
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: for me. Oh yeah, oh yeah, guys, wow, we do

211
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: have some numbers for you. Oh my, heck we do.

212
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 2: Okay, So, yes, the franchise just celebrated it's twenty fifth

213
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 2: anniversary last year, if anyone needed to feel old. Also, yeah,

214
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 2: like this was a phenomenon early on, like just four seasons.

215
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 2: In two thousand and six, the show already had over

216
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 2: sixty one million viewers a month and had increased its

217
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 2: adult viewership by seventy six percent since its premiere. It

218
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 2: was at that time already syndicated in one hundred and

219
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 2: seventy one markets in twenty five languages.

220
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: So it did used to I used to go in

221
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: college and watch it and would make fun of you

222
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: and she's like, you're still watching SpongeBob. Yes, yes, this

223
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: is a high quality piece of media entertainment.

224
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 2: Thank you.

225
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: I don't want to miss a single minute.

226
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 2: Oh man, and one hundred and seventy one markets is

227
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 2: like basically almost a capacity like it's it's now like

228
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 2: it's only in like one hundred and eighty markets now

229
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 2: though it has been in uh translated into sixty different languages.

230
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 2: At this point, it is one of the most widely

231
00:15:54,280 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 2: distributed shows in Paramount's history. It still has like over

232
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 2: one hundred million viewers a quarter.

233
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: Wow. Well, if you've never watched SpongeBob in a different language,

234
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: I recommend it. It comes up a lot, like on

235
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: social media. It'll be like, have you heard SpongeBob in German?

236
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: It's fun. I recommend it.

237
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 2: Even just the characters' names are fun. I almost wrote

238
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 2: out a list of different names of SpongeBob in different languages,

239
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 2: but then I did not want to do that to

240
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 2: myself again.

241
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: Sometimes you've got to draw lines.

242
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, a line in the sand, line in the

243
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 2: bikini bottom sand. Yes, all right, more numbers.

244
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: Yes.

245
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 2: As of June of twenty twenty one, it was the

246
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 2: eighteenth most in demand show across all platforms and all

247
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 2: genres worldwide.

248
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

249
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 2: It and its cast and crew have won a bunch

250
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 2: of awards for their work, including six which are Kids

251
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 2: Programming Things, five Daytime Emmys, eight Sound Editing Awards at

252
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 2: the Golden Reels that's from the American Motion Picture Sound

253
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 2: Editors Society and this one blows my mind. It has

254
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 2: won the title Favorite Cartoon in Nickelodeon's Kids Choice Awards

255
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 2: almost every year since it started being nominated in two

256
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 2: thousand and three, with the honestly kind of weird exception

257
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 2: of two thousand and eight, which is when Avatar The

258
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 2: Last Airbender one. But that's twenty one wins and yes

259
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 2: that includes this year.

260
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: Wow wow Yeah.

261
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 2: Also, the Broadway Musical cut twelve tony nominations in twenty eighteen,

262
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 2: tying for most nominations of the year with The Mean

263
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 2: Girls Musical it only won won. SpongeBob only won one

264
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 2: for scenic design, though, proud of them for that.

265
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, listeners, if any of you win, right, it

266
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: was only up for like a year. But I've read

267
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: really great things about it, to be.

268
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 2: Honest, in Oh Squidward Tap Danced, I don't know, man,

269
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 2: it sounds really good.

270
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 1: Okay.

271
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 2: When the current season is complete, SpongeBob will have three

272
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty two episodes in the main series alone,

273
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:37,199
Speaker 2: and assuming that every episode does contain two segments and no,

274
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 2: I did not check, sixteen seasons is a lot to

275
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 2: pour over, that will be six hundred and sixty four

276
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 2: segments of SpongeBob out there in the universe. Traditionally, each

277
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 2: segment is made by about forty five to fifty people

278
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 2: who will work on it for ten to eleven months,

279
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 2: from like premise to storyboard, to voice work to animation

280
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 2: to sound to completion.

281
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 1: Wow wow mm hmm.

282
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why they're only putting out thirteen episode seasons

283
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 2: right now.

284
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: Makes sense? Makes sense.

285
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 2: The movies have done about half a billion dollars in

286
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 2: box office sales, and don't forget that march. As of

287
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen, the franchise had racked up thirteen billion dollars

288
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 2: in merchandise sales. It is Paramount's most profitable franchise. And

289
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 2: I want y'all to remember right now that Paramount owns

290
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 2: Star Trek.

291
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: Wow. I'm telling you. When this show came out, I

292
00:19:55,480 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 1: remember so clearly how everybody who's making fun of it,

293
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: everybody is going to work. Well, look at this weird idea.

294
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 1: My parents were like laughing aloud at us for this,

295
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 1: and look where it is now. You were right, they

296
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: should have listened. I was right. Uh And okay, one

297
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: final recommendation before we actually move into the food portion,

298
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 1: if you. SpongeBob also has a delightful internet meme culture

299
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: mashup culture. One of my favorites is when the Lighthouse

300
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 1: came out. There was a lot of fun SpongeBob Lighthouse

301
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 1: mashups for for our older viewers, but I just recommend it.

302
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 1: There's a lot of fun stuff that SpongeBob has spawned

303
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: over the years. And we'll talk some about those real

304
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: world food.

305
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 2: Things, yeah a little bit, yeah, but yeah, there is

306
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 2: a lot of food in this show and we are

307
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 2: going to get into all of that as soon as

308
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 2: we get back from a quick break. For a word

309
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 2: from our sponsors, imre back, thank you sponsor, Yes, thank you? Okay,

310
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 2: so yes.

311
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: Since the show largely revolves around SpongeBob's job as a

312
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: fry cook at the Krusty Krab, there are a lot

313
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 1: of references to the ins and outs of running a

314
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: fast food restaurant. There are episodes centered around a visit

315
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 1: from the health Inspector, which is a favorite of mine,

316
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:54,199
Speaker 1: customer critiques which is another favorite of mine, competing restaurants

317
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: and sabotage attempts of these competing restaurants, minimum wage and strikes,

318
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: and multiple food competitions, including with the god Deseiden. Now, yes,

319
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 1: nutrition food health recalls a lot of conversation around that.

320
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: There's a food convention, some commentary on fine dining with

321
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: mister Squilliam Fancyson, and yes, I love that episode too,

322
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: And of course yeah capitalism. The owner of the Krusty Krab,

323
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: mister Eugene Krabs, is the cheapest of all cheap crabs.

324
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: He will do anything to make even the most meager

325
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: amounts a penny, including sell his employees sold to Davy Jones,

326
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: which he did. He also tries to keep up with

327
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: the food trends, even if that means stealing the idea.

328
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 1: So there are several instances of food promotions, including a

329
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: dinner theater and a talent show. And there's a really

330
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: interesting j exaposition here of mister Krabs, who only cares

331
00:22:56,080 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: about money, and SpongeBob, who truly believes in and loves

332
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 1: the krabby Patty. He is not in it at all

333
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 1: for the money. In fact, several episodes he offers to

334
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: give his paycheck to mister Crabs to continue to work there. Yes,

335
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 1: so there are a lot of themes that if we

336
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: were a SpongeBob bassed show. I could unpacked, unpack and

337
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: more depth, but yes that there is a lot of

338
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: themes around the food industry. Also, throughout the show, there

339
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 1: are references to the fact that many of the characters

340
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: are one deep fry away from being food as well. Yes,

341
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: there's one episode where they are quote playing hooky and

342
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: they find a field of hooks and yep, yeah, everything

343
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: works out because it's SpongeBob. But yeah, there are multiple

344
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: references to the fact that in our real world we

345
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: eat seafood. Yeah. Yes, the citizens of Bikini Bottom do

346
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: have a lot of the same foods that we do,

347
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: like ice cream, chocolate bars, popcorn, peanuts, and potato salad,

348
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: as well as plenty of things that are jokes based

349
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: off of real world brands or products like brand Flakes

350
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: and Kelp jerkey. So you got that basis. But this

351
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: brings us to, I guess the bread and butter of

352
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: SpongeBob when it comes to food. The Krabby patty the

353
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 1: main food item in this show. Without a doubt. This

354
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 1: is the primary menu item at the Krusty krab and

355
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: it is something that SpongeBob is very reverent about making

356
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 1: there are multiple episodes about him learning to make it

357
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: and then him forgetting to make it and losing his

358
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: confidence on all kinds of things. It's very important to him.

359
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: While at first glance they are pretty they're pretty typical

360
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 1: fast food smash burger. What exactly a Krabby Patty is

361
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: and has been is the source of a lot of debate.

362
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: According to the creator Stephen Hillenberg, the Crappy Patty is

363
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 1: a meatless patty, which has led to much speculation about

364
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: what the patty is. Oh. When I say much speculation,

365
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: there have been like, it can't be tofu, It can't

366
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: be that people have really gone in down. Oh yeah, Yes,

367
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 1: there's a popular theory that Kelp is involved, perhaps as

368
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: a seasoning. Whatever the case, The patty is topped with

369
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: sea vegetables, which are pretty much led as tomato, onion,

370
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:38,239
Speaker 1: and pickles, ketchup mustard, occasionally cheese, all sandwich between two

371
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: buns grilled at a particular temperature. SpongeBob mentions the temperature

372
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: and two episodes they're different temperatures. Oh, there's also a

373
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 1: secret ingredient that mister Crabs's enemy, Plankton, repeatedly tries to

374
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: steal and one episode, we learn the pair invented the

375
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: patty together when they were friends. Is the secret ingredient,

376
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: which mister Crabs guards rigorously. The secret ingredient in order

377
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: to get the secret formula, mister Crabs has a series

378
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 1: of rules and tests in place. So here's a quote

379
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 1: from a SpongeBob fans Ravioli. Ravioli, give me the formuloe. Yes. Also,

380
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: that doesn't remain consistent. That's just a fun thing that

381
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 1: changes all the time. But that's one of the more

382
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 1: well known tests. SpongeBob once said that the secret ingredient

383
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:33,919
Speaker 1: is love, not magic. That's how he beats Poseidon in

384
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: his competition. Dang yes, And by all accounts, the Krabby

385
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 1: patty is delicious even naysayers Squidward can't resist him. After

386
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: getting a taste, he was very much like, I'm too

387
00:26:45,359 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: cool for this. Their gross I'll never try one. He

388
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,439
Speaker 1: finally tries one and then cannot stop. Oh yeah, no.

389
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: He goes straight to the patty vault, which he guess

390
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 1: it's sort of like screw the book with coins, but

391
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: it's Krabby patties and Krabby patties are the most popular

392
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: food item in bikini bottom, despite the fact that they

393
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 1: go straight to your thighs. It is also implied in

394
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 1: more than one episode that they are addictive. The health

395
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: of Krabby patties is explored in multiple episodes, and usually

396
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: the negative impacts of grabby patties. The price of the

397
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: Krabby patty fluctuates. Most of the time it's around two dollars,

398
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: but it has gone as high as ninety nine dollars. Yes,

399
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: and as mentioned, there are numerous actual research papers about

400
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 1: the Krabby patty capitalism and consumerism in particular, because that's

401
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: pretty much what it is. Yeah, ye, mister Krab's trying

402
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 1: to make a lot of money and doing all kinds

403
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 1: of things to do so, which brings us to several

404
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: Krabby patty variations. All right, First, there's the Nasty Patty,

405
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: and this is from one of my favorite episodes of

406
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 1: the same name. It's the one with the food the

407
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 1: Health Inspector. So a health inspector shows up to do

408
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: an inspection of the Krusty Krab. Mister Crabs and SpongeBob

409
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: are pulling out all the stops to pass the inspection.

410
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 1: The health inspector has one final request after trying everything

411
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 1: on the menu before he passes them a krabby patty.

412
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: SpongeBob and mister Crabs think that they have got it

413
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: in the bag. They're done, so they go to the

414
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: kitchen to whip one up. But then the newscasters on

415
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: the TV in the kitchen warrant that there's someone posing

416
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: as a food inspector to obtain free food, and mister

417
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: Krabs is absolutely furious, shall not stand and decides to

418
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 1: serve him up what he calls a diabolical patty as punishment.

419
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: So he and SpongeBob start to compose the nasty patty.

420
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: And so the patty is topped with a volcano sauce,

421
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: seahorse raddish and tonel clippings. It's dumped in the toilet

422
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: and dried with mister crabs old dirty gym socks, and

423
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: it looks truly disturbed. It looks like something alive that

424
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: will eat you.

425
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 2: Uh.

426
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: It's surrounded by flies. It's really gross. They serve it

427
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 1: to the health inspector. I mean, luckily he didn't get

428
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: to taste it before a fly through it flew in

429
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: his mouth and he starts choking. SpongeBob and mister Krabs

430
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: think he's choking because of the nasty patty, but you

431
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: know it was the fly. Come to find out it

432
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: was the real health inspector, and they think they've killed him.

433
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: Oh no, So chaos and an attempted cover up ensues.

434
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: The police are there. It's fantastic. It's a great episode.

435
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: Obviously this was never on the menu, but I had

436
00:29:53,960 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: to include it. I love it. Beautiful. Speaking of beautiful, Ben,

437
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: we have the pretty patty. These are Krabby patties in

438
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: an assortment of colors. Originally six colors, but once they

439
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: gained popularity, a huge variety of colors and patterns. The

440
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: patties were an idea of SpongeBob's to attract more customers. However,

441
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: when he presented the idea to mister Krabs, mister Krabs

442
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: left in SpongeBob's face, So SpongeBob started selling them on

443
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: his own and they became hugely popular, much more so

444
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: than the original Krabby patty. They draw these huge crabs.

445
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: They empty out the krusty krab Mister Krabs, he's on

446
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: the news report about their success and how SpongeBob and

447
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: his partner Patrick are just giving away all the money

448
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: they're making from them. They literally have a money stand

449
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: where they're giving it away and mister Krabs can't take it.

450
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: You can't take it. He offers to take over the

451
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: stand in exchange for giving SpongeBob the key to the

452
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: Krusty Krab. SpongeBob accepts. Mister Krabs is thrilled until customers

453
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: start confronting him about how the patty changed their tongues

454
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: to the color or pattern of the one ones of

455
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 1: the pretty patties they ate. The angry customers chase mister

456
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: Crabs away after he refuses to give them a refund yep.

457
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 1: There's also the Spongey Patty, which was mister Krabs's attempt

458
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: to capitalize on SpongeBob's rise in popularity after his appearance

459
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: in a commercial. So mister Crabs pretty much turns the

460
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: Krusty Krab into a SpongeBob themed amusement park and sells

461
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: SpongeBob themed food while trying to make room for SpongeBob

462
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: themed ice cubes. Mister Krabs discovers expired patties that have

463
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: taken on a spongy texture and he thinks, wow, that

464
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: will be a great item he can up charge for.

465
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: Resembling SpongeBob, he orders that they're fried up to be

466
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: a spongey patty. After eating them, the customers turn yellow

467
00:31:55,640 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: and develop spots similar to SpongeBob. Mister Crabs rested and

468
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: taken to courch. Presumably he got off because he's back

469
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: in the next episode, Oh, which brings us to another

470
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: transgression of mister Crabs. We have the jelly Patty. The

471
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: jelly patty is a krabby patty with jellyfish jelly spread

472
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: on it, which is a favorite of Spongebobs, who is

473
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: an avid and responsible jellyfisher. After consumer witnesses SpongeBob spreading

474
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: some jellyfish jelly on his Krabby patty during his lunch break,

475
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,959
Speaker 1: the consumer asks to try it, and he loves it

476
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 1: like he writes a song about it. Loves it. Mister

477
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: Crabs adds it to the menu and convinces SpongeBob to

478
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: catch him more and more jellyfish until there aren't any

479
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: more jellyfish except the huge blue one named No Name.

480
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 1: Oh oh, yes, oh no, you don't want to mess

481
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: with no Name? Okay, No, I don't, Yes, no, you don't.

482
00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: Eventually no Name captures SpongeBob and shows him the jellyfish

483
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: factory that mister Crabs is milking the jellyfish in horrified,

484
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: SpongeBob helps free the jellyfish. They swarm and sting mister Krabs,

485
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: and the jelly fatty is removed from the menu.

486
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 2: I oh, my goodness, I love yeah this I yep

487
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 2: mm hm. This is one of those cartoons if you

488
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 2: could if you haven't watched it and couldn't tell from

489
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 2: Annie's descriptions, where like, I'm watching it and I don't

490
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 2: I feel like there is no way to be a

491
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 2: sane person while you are consuming this show.

492
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: You're like, oh, okay, this is where we're going. Wow. Yes,

493
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: and listeners. If you want any recommendations, I can give

494
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: you the episode recommendations and also once for if you

495
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: want to feel like you are losing your mind. Yeah,

496
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: which there are several that will make you feel that way. Yeah,

497
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 1: that's sort of common. One of my favorites. Yeah, okay,

498
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: actually this is a good one and another attempt to

499
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: sell more Krabby patties mister Krabs, unless Sandy the Squirrels

500
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: help to come up with the secret patty an orange

501
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: Krabby patty that floats. Unfortunately, when eaten, it turns people

502
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 1: and machines, including Karen Blanton's wife, Oh no, into Krabby

503
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:32,760
Speaker 1: Patty zombies. Oh yes, the only way to turn people

504
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: back into their non zombie selves is by feeding them

505
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: chum or on that in a second. The chum is

506
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 1: so disgusting that it causes folks to spit the secret

507
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 1: patty out. But yeah, Sariau's is a zombie episode. Yeah, okay,

508
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: this brings us to bubble Basses order. Oh all right,

509
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: so there's this character that's kind of a bully who

510
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,760
Speaker 1: comes into the Krusty krab with an extremely elaborate Krabby

511
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: Patty order that SpongeBob quickly whips up. Bubble Bass tries

512
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 1: it and declares, there's one problem. There's no pickle. SpongeBob

513
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: is adamant that he put the pickle on there, but

514
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,439
Speaker 1: his confidence is shattered. He can't remember how to make

515
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: the Krabby patty it's a whole thing. It is later

516
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 1: revealed that Bubble Bass hid the pickle under his tongue.

517
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: It had been there all along. Man. But okay, let's

518
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: break this down a bit. Because the Internet loves fighting

519
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: about what this order means. So here's what bubble Bass ordered.

520
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: I'll take a double triple Bossy Deluxe on a raft

521
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: four by four, animal style, extra shingles, with a shimmy

522
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 1: and a squeeze, light axle, grease, make it cry, burn it,

523
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 1: and let it swim, to which Squidward says, I always thought.

524
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 1: I always thought this was just cartoon nonsense, but apparently

525
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: not necessarily all right, Okay, so let's break it down.

526
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: Double triple Bossy equals six all beef patties with everything

527
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: on it on a raft texas toast, four by four,

528
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 1: four patties and four slices of cheese, upping the paddy

529
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: count to ten, or multiplying the whole thing by four

530
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: to get twenty four patties. Oh, people disagree? Okay, animal

531
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: style grilled and mustard or addition of onion jam a

532
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:34,320
Speaker 1: la in and out. People like to disagree. Extra shingles,

533
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,879
Speaker 1: extra toast, a shimmy, jelly on the toast, or butter

534
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 1: on the toast, or mail on the toast, a squeeze,

535
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,919
Speaker 1: a glass of orange juice, light axle grease, minimal butter,

536
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:49,800
Speaker 1: make it cry, extra onions, Let it Swim extra special sauce. However,

537
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: some have pointed out that the take on the double

538
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: triple doesn't necessarily equate to six patties. At some places

539
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,720
Speaker 1: like In and Out, a double double doesn't mean four patties.

540
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: It means two patties and two slices of cheese. Wow.

541
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:09,439
Speaker 1: So there's still argument happening about this. I love it.

542
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,919
Speaker 1: I really thought it was just like a cartoon monologue.

543
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:16,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, but no, all of these have references in diner

544
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 2: culture and burger culture.

545
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:22,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, yes, I am benching with Babbage. She did

546
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,479
Speaker 1: try to make it. It's huge like in the show.

547
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: It looks like a little bit bigger than a regular

548
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 1: Gabby patty, but it would be enormous, all right. So

549
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: moving on from the Krabby Patty, we have the Krusty

550
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: Krab Pizza, which is the pizza for you and me,

551
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: Rusty quay.

552
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, ye, pizza pizza.

553
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: I have to sing it. This is from one of

554
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 1: the earliest episodes, when mister Crabs gets a call for

555
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 1: delivery and from a customer for a Krusty Krab pizza.

556
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: He immediately agrees, even though they don't make pizza and

557
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 1: they don't delivered he cartoon Magic makes pizza from some

558
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: Krabby patties and sends SpongeBob and Squidward out to deliver it.

559
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: The pair get lost and counters some hardships, including a tornado,

560
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 1: until they finally find the customer SpongeBob was so determined

561
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 1: to get to. However, sad customer is furious that they

562
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 1: forgot his drink and refuses delivery, which causes SpongeBob to

563
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: crowd Furious, Squidward throws the pizza in the customer's face

564
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 1: and tells SpongeBob that they successfully delivered it. Yeah. That's

565
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: a good episode. That's a good one. I'm not really

566
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 1: going to go in depth on this one, but this

567
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: wasn't the first time mister Crabs tried to really change

568
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: things up. His daughter Pearl, who is a whale by

569
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 1: the way, tried to make the Krusty krab into like

570
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: a trendy health place once and had SpongeBob serve salads

571
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 1: as he called them because he had no idea what

572
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 1: they were.

573
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 2: There, you go, I'm putting a number of things together

574
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 2: that I read.

575
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 1: Great. Please continue, this is excellent, all right? Yes? So yeah,

576
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 1: now let's talk about the chum Bucket. This is the

577
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 1: arrival restaurant of the Krusty Krab, owned by Plankton, and

578
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 1: this restaurant is situated directly across from the Krusty Krab,

579
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 1: and it serves primarily chum in a bucket. It is

580
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 1: very unappetizing looking and very unpopular. Even Plankton doesn't like it.

581
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 2: Now, I'm not too sure about this, y'all correct me

582
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 2: if I'm wrong, but I but I'm pretty sure that

583
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 2: Plankton only eats light because he's a Plankton, and from

584
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 2: what i've from what I understand, he only eats light

585
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 2: in the form of holograms that his robot wife Karen

586
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 2: makes for him, which is a sentence that yeah, oh

587
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 2: yeah he does.

588
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: He does indulge in a kilp shake, oh okay, okay,

589
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: But I think in general, yes, yeah, the continuity of SpongeBob,

590
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: as mentioned before, is not always.

591
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, it's kind of does the joke work, Let's

592
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 2: go with that. Yeah. And also, Plankton is not a

593
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:32,720
Speaker 2: photosynthesizing plankton.

594
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:34,439
Speaker 1: The character is based.

595
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 2: On a copa pod, which is another thing that I

596
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:40,760
Speaker 2: read about earlier today.

597
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 1: Excellent, I love it. I love it well in the

598
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:49,720
Speaker 1: episode where mister Crabs and Plankton they were friends before

599
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 1: they had this falling out, and basically what happened was

600
00:40:56,280 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: Plankton ended up creating chum and mister Krabs ended up

601
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 1: creating the Krabby Patty, And so now Plankton is just

602
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:11,439
Speaker 1: determined to get this formula and it runs a lot

603
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: of the plot in the show. Mm hmm okay. So

604
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 1: at various points, this bucket of chum sports bones, organs,

605
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:27,240
Speaker 1: and eyeballs all nestled in this pink viscera. It also

606
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:32,919
Speaker 1: contains quote countless strains of parasitical bacteria. It makes people sick.

607
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 1: Plankton has offered numerous chum based products, from Chumbergers to

608
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 1: Chummy Joe's, to chum sticks, to chum nuggets, to chum

609
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 1: for casse, which was squid word came up with that. Uh,

610
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,719
Speaker 1: he like tricks the whole staff of the Krusty krab

611
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 1: into working for him at one point, so squid Word

612
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,760
Speaker 1: came up with the chump for casse. At one point

613
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,439
Speaker 1: Plankton flushed the chum down the toilet and it led

614
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: to the creation of some sewer bass chum creatures. It

615
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 1: has been known to burn a hole in the floor

616
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:09,320
Speaker 1: and send people slash fish I guess to the doctor. However,

617
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: at one point Plankton gets a fancy establishment and people

618
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 1: eat his food no matter how gross it is, which

619
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:23,720
Speaker 1: I think is another fun commentary on our dining culture. Yep,

620
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 1: so I would say those are kind of the main things.

621
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 1: I do have a couple of honorable mentions. One is

622
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 1: Kelp Nugat Crunch. This is a candy that appeared in

623
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 1: another favorite episode of mine, rock Bottom. It seems to

624
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 1: be a chocolate bar with nougat and kelp, but SpongeBob

625
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: big Fan really wants it. Then there's the triple Gooseberry Surprise,

626
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 1: related to another favorite of mine, the Weenie Hutt Junior Sunday.

627
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: This is a menu item at Goofy Goober's ice Cream

628
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 1: party Boat. It is an anthropomorphic Sunday with two scoops

629
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 1: of vanilla ice cream as the body, red liquorice for

630
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 1: a smile, candy, buttons of some sort for the eyes

631
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 1: and the nose, fudge sauce for there, bananas for arms,

632
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: and some sort of hat situation. All the bananas are

633
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 1: topped with cherries, and upon eating it, it seems to

634
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:25,720
Speaker 1: cause intoxication, as if it has rum sauce or something.

635
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, mm hmm. Then there's the bad breath Sunday, Lauren,

636
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 1: Oh dear. One Sunday, SpongeBob gets up and is gonna

637
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 1: make this Sunday, but he finds out he doesn't have

638
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 1: the typ of ingredients he wanted, so he makes a

639
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 1: Sunday with ketchup onions and peanut plant. Surprise, surprise, it

640
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 1: gave him bad breath and the whole thing led to

641
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: him thinking he was ugly because everybody was running away

642
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 1: from him. Oh yeah, and the whole episode is him

643
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: trying to square living as an ugly sponge yep. I mean,

644
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:21,240
Speaker 1: I mean every episode is him trying to square That's true. Nice. Sorry, sorry,

645
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 1: that was perfect.

646
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 4: That was perfect, okay, and one of the only I

647
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,359
Speaker 4: had a couple drinks that came to mind, but none

648
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 4: of them were had much more to say other than

649
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 4: mentioning their name.

650
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 1: I did want to mention Kelp shakes, which, as I said,

651
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,880
Speaker 1: Plankton got into. That was how Plankton and mister Crabs bonded.

652
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,760
Speaker 1: In one episode. This was a shake that was offered

653
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: by the chain kelp shakes, and they were seemingly addictive.

654
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 1: Everybody loved them. It is ninety nine percent helt juice

655
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 1: and the rest is a dangerous radioactive material that causes

656
00:44:56,200 --> 00:45:01,280
Speaker 1: consumers to grow green hair all over. So I think

657
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 1: that it's interesting how many examples in here we have

658
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 1: of these big companies doing these things and the fallout

659
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 1: to consumers and or the jellyfish that it takes to

660
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 1: exploit to make things. I don't know. I think there's

661
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 1: a lot of commentary going on, yeah, or the workers, yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly. Yeah,

662
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 1: I could go on and on, but those are the

663
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 1: those are the big ones.

664
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 2: I thought that we would hit for Suah. Yeah, if

665
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:33,919
Speaker 2: there's any that y'all are like, why didn't they talk

666
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:36,359
Speaker 2: about email us, tell us about it.

667
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yes, I'll be back in a heartbeat.

668
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 2: But we do have some real world examples for you guys,

669
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:48,920
Speaker 2: Like I mean, because of course, this is such a

670
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:52,240
Speaker 2: big series that there have been any number of tie

671
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 2: in food products, like Kellogg's has had a SpongeBob breakfast

672
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:59,720
Speaker 2: cereal at certain points over the past twenty five years.

673
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 2: It's made of little vanilla flavored cereal squares, and those

674
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 2: horrifying Cereal marshmallows that are in the shapes of SpongeBob

675
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:13,799
Speaker 2: with pants, Patrick also with Pants, and the Pineapple House.

676
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 2: There are Crabby Patty gummy candies, including like the regular

677
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 2: burger form and also the Pretty Patty original six colors.

678
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and then as mentioned, there's the Creepy SpongeBob

679
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 1: ice cream. Well, okay, so this is.

680
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 2: This is you know, like a like an ice cream

681
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 2: truck treat made by Popsicle. Apparently it is cotton candy

682
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 2: and fruit punch flavored. It originally had gumballs for eyes,

683
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 2: but they changed that to chocolate rounds and twenty twenty three,

684
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 2: and people had opinions about that.

685
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 1: Oh go look it up. Go look up the original

686
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:01,959
Speaker 1: and you'll see why I say. It's pretty horrifying. Yeah,

687
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 1: it's great.

688
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, And yet for the twenty fifth anniversary, a number

689
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 2: of co brands bubbled up.

690
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 1: Yes, Wendy's had a Krabby Patty.

691
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:17,800
Speaker 2: They did a Krabby Patty collab menu, which was two items,

692
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 2: but sure, it's a menu. Yeah. The Krabby Patty was

693
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 2: a single burger with cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles,

694
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 2: but with Krabby patty sauce instead of the usual ketchup

695
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 2: and mayo, which apparently was similar to you know, your

696
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 2: general fast food special sauce like basically Thousand Island dressing

697
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 2: with a sort of peppery savory kind of flavor. And

698
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:42,840
Speaker 2: then the second item was a Pineapple under Sea frosty

699
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 2: including the vanilla bass with swirls of pineapple and mango.

700
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah. Also also home Chef, which is one of

701
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:59,320
Speaker 2: those male order meal kit companies not sponsored. They currently

702
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 2: have a few themed dishes, including a Pineapple under the

703
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 2: Sea burger, a crusty crab pizza, Sandy's Texas style honey

704
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:17,319
Speaker 2: barbecue chicken, Blankton's holographic meat loaf including a side of

705
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 2: Karen salad, a cuddly crab chicken salad ah yeah yeah,

706
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 2: and a chocolate brownie cookie skillet.

707
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:37,799
Speaker 1: This makes me so so.

708
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:42,719
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know if they still have it,

709
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 2: but for until while supplies last. They you can get

710
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 2: a free SpongeBob spatula when you sign up. Not a

711
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:59,280
Speaker 2: sponsor but no, nope, just saying I'm saying that's adorable.

712
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:08,799
Speaker 2: And also there is a universal resort for families with

713
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 2: younger kids. That's opening in Texas next year and there

714
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 2: is going to be a whole SpongeBob Land, So no

715
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 2: word on the food yet, but that looking forward to

716
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:21,400
Speaker 2: seeing what they do there.

717
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 1: I am as well. This is a delight, I believe that.

718
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:34,839
Speaker 1: So at dragon Con there are five host hotels, one

719
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,440
Speaker 1: of them the Hyatts, which is where we did our

720
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 1: video with Scheff Thomas Mukun. They always go all in

721
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:47,359
Speaker 1: on Dragon Conn. Their menu with SpongeBob feet so cute. Yeah,

722
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:53,280
Speaker 1: it was super cute. I love it. It's just nerdery

723
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 1: and huge. It's fun.

724
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:59,720
Speaker 2: And it is like SpongeBob is such a sweet character,

725
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:04,840
Speaker 2: like he just is excited about stuff and he's excited

726
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:08,440
Speaker 2: about other people being excited about stuff, and so it's

727
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:09,720
Speaker 2: it's really nice.

728
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:14,359
Speaker 1: It is nice and it's a fun. It's a fun

729
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:17,359
Speaker 1: juxtaposition because you have the cynic squid word, you have

730
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:22,360
Speaker 1: the capitalist grab mister crabs, but you have SpongeBob who's

731
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:27,799
Speaker 1: just so he wants to share these crabby pats man.

732
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 1: We didn't even talk about the exploding pod. Just a

733
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:35,360
Speaker 1: million things. Oh yeah, we'll do a part two in

734
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:35,880
Speaker 1: the future.

735
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, as as as we said right, like, if

736
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:42,360
Speaker 2: there's something that we missed, if there's a real world

737
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:45,359
Speaker 2: food that we missed, if you've had like a pop

738
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:48,759
Speaker 2: up in your area, if like you've got a restaurant

739
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 2: that does something goofy and SpongeBob themeed.

740
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 1: Let us know, yes, please let us know. But I

741
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:58,279
Speaker 1: think that's what we have to say about SpongeBob for now.

742
00:50:58,680 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 3: It is.

743
00:50:59,719 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 1: It is.

744
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:04,799
Speaker 2: We do have some listeners mail for you already, though,

745
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 2: and we won't get into that as soon as we

746
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:08,839
Speaker 2: get back from one more quick break for a word

747
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 2: from our sponsors, and we're back. Thank you, sponsor, Yes,

748
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 2: thank you, And we're back with.

749
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:34,840
Speaker 1: That theme song gets in your head? Oh it does?

750
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:35,720
Speaker 1: Oh it does.

751
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 2: I've been walking around my house singing it all week.

752
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 1: I would apologize, except I'm not song the line that

753
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:52,719
Speaker 1: gets me and porous is he That's a good one.

754
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 1: That's a good line.

755
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:58,320
Speaker 2: Also, is it quancy Brown singing that song? I feel

756
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 2: like it is. Thanks, so I think so. Actually he

757
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 2: plays mister Crabs who and also like I know him

758
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:11,360
Speaker 2: more as you know, like like the Kurgan from the

759
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:14,400
Speaker 2: Highlander who I had a really inappropriate crush on as

760
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:17,600
Speaker 2: a child. So like it's so what, I don't know.

761
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:19,239
Speaker 2: Mister crabs is really confusing to me.

762
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 1: The number of I'm sure, I'm sure he's he's my

763
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:27,279
Speaker 1: favorite character, and I don't know how to feel about it.

764
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 1: I just think he's so funny. Is it's a very

765
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:39,919
Speaker 1: comical character wherein you just he's playing the comedy game

766
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:42,920
Speaker 1: where you know exactly what his choice will be. Yeah,

767
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 1: every time, and it's funny. Have you gotten to Crabborg yet?

768
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:49,719
Speaker 1: That's my favorite? No?

769
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:54,120
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, I'm not really going linearly.

770
00:52:55,520 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 1: Crab Borg. Make sure you get to that one, gotcha.

771
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 1: I'll say I'll resent my list again, which, by the way,

772
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:09,839
Speaker 1: I again years and years ago and I ignored it

773
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:13,240
Speaker 1: and I was like, here are twenty episodes I require

774
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:17,760
Speaker 1: you to watch. They are the best ones in my opinion,

775
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:27,160
Speaker 1: and crab Board number one. All right, So we have

776
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 1: another bit, another longer one today and we love longer ones,

777
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 1: so that's always good. But we're just gonna split it.

778
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:37,360
Speaker 1: U e J wrote, while I loved Mapo Tofu before

779
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:39,960
Speaker 1: coming to Japan, I was so surprised at how popular

780
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:43,680
Speaker 1: it is here and amused by the variety available. I'd

781
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 1: like to share a bit more of my culinary adventures

782
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:48,319
Speaker 1: in Japan, this time with the good, the bad, and

783
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:52,319
Speaker 1: the ugly of Japanese mabo dulfu. None of them are

784
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:55,360
Speaker 1: probably as bad as the Culinary Institute of America's version,

785
00:53:56,200 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 1: which a link was a sent You're probably familiar with

786
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 1: a YouTube channel Chinese Cooking to mystified. I've been a

787
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:06,880
Speaker 1: fan ever since they unlocked for me the secrets to

788
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 1: making shu mai, which was a lifesaver during the pandemic.

789
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:13,719
Speaker 1: As miside and I may have said this before, In

790
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:17,759
Speaker 1: my opinion, shumai is one thing Japan doesn't do particularly well.

791
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:21,359
Speaker 1: They usually don't make it authentically Cantonese, nor do they

792
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:24,840
Speaker 1: make it more interesting. Japanese shumi is really just the

793
00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 1: steamed pork meatball. Mapo dofu is one of my go

794
00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 1: to meals when I need something hearty and satisfying while

795
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 1: still having leftovers for the next day. As you said,

796
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 1: many retort packs are available in local supermarkets with fearing

797
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:43,240
Speaker 1: levels of spiciness. Usually you just add tofu and maybe

798
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:46,560
Speaker 1: ground meats and green onions or leaks. The good are

799
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 1: perhaps amazing. Thing I found at a supermarket was a

800
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:54,560
Speaker 1: map tofu snack, tiny dehydrated tofu cubes dusted with mapo

801
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:57,399
Speaker 1: tofu seasoning, and when you pop on in your mouth,

802
00:54:57,440 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 1: it's an explosion of all the spicy salt, the numbing

803
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:03,719
Speaker 1: goodness you'd expect. It's a shame it was only a

804
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:06,799
Speaker 1: limited time item. On the other hand, you have the

805
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 1: bad things that barely qualify as mabo d'fu. Pictured here

806
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 1: is one from a supermarket deli section. I've even seen

807
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 1: mabod'fu paler and more translucent than this at a Chinese restaurant.

808
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 2: Hm ej continues, I've personally found the best restaurants by

809
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:31,880
Speaker 2: asking local Chinese people for recommendations. Unsurprisingly, many staff barely

810
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:35,440
Speaker 2: speak Japanese, but the food is always fantastic. As for

811
00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:40,480
Speaker 2: the ugly unfortunately, that was something I was personally responsible for,

812
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:43,320
Speaker 2: and depending on my mood, I'll either use a retort

813
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:47,080
Speaker 2: pack or make it from scratch. Chinese cooking demystified recommends

814
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:50,879
Speaker 2: mustard oil as a substitute for Sichuan rape seed oil,

815
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:53,799
Speaker 2: and it was fire both in flavor and in how

816
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:56,640
Speaker 2: it literally made my eyes and nostrils burn the first

817
00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 2: time I used it, Like an aerosol version of horse

818
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 2: badish with sabby. Sometimes I add ground sancho or Japanese peppercorns,

819
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 2: ut numbing but more fragrant cousins of Sichuan peppercorns. Since

820
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:12,520
Speaker 2: they're price year, I use them sparingly. The truly ugly

821
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 2: part was when I needed to cut carbs and boost fiber,

822
00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:20,080
Speaker 2: so instead of rice, I topped plain oatmeal with Mapo tofu.

823
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:23,320
Speaker 2: And it wasn't bad at all, as the neutral flavor

824
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 2: of oatmeal carried the mapo tofu surprisingly well. Ugly but delicious,

825
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:31,440
Speaker 2: quicker than rice and full of fiber. Mercifully, I have

826
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:37,200
Speaker 2: no photos of this. Frankenstein's monster of a dish. Lauren

827
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:41,000
Speaker 2: and Nanny, in your opinion, does having oatmeal count as

828
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:45,120
Speaker 2: eating a vegetable? On your podcast, you mentioned so many

829
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:48,720
Speaker 2: varieties and riffs on mapo tofu. I've even seen cheese

830
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:51,719
Speaker 2: offered as a topping for a Mapo tofu noodle dish.

831
00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:56,399
Speaker 2: So the mapol lasagna sounds promising. Incidentally, I was making

832
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:58,920
Speaker 2: lasagna the evening you dropped your episode. It was too

833
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:01,799
Speaker 2: late to turn it into my polelasagna, but halfway through

834
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:04,440
Speaker 2: eating my portion, I poured some sish one peppercorn oil

835
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:09,239
Speaker 2: onto it numbingly delicious. That wasn't my first time experimenting

836
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:12,440
Speaker 2: with sish one flavors in unexpected dishes. I once had

837
00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:15,279
Speaker 2: a sish one peppercorn caffe latte in China and the

838
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:19,720
Speaker 2: numbing sensation added extra warmth, perfect for winter. Recently, I've

839
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:23,200
Speaker 2: started topping leftover costco pepperoni pizza with sish one peppercorn oil.

840
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:26,120
Speaker 2: If people put all of oil hot sauce or serracha

841
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:32,440
Speaker 2: on pizza, why not something with a different kick. Yes, ah, yeah,

842
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 2: absolutely absolutely. I have in my kitchen some Sishwan peppercorn

843
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:40,920
Speaker 2: oil and it I mean, I just want to put

844
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:43,800
Speaker 2: it in everything I like have to hold myself. I

845
00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 2: should probably just put it in everything like live right,

846
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:49,600
Speaker 2: you know, but oh yeah, I know it improves anything

847
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:50,440
Speaker 2: that you want to add it to.

848
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 1: Yes, this, I'm very intrigued by this cafe latte.

849
00:57:55,640 --> 00:58:01,160
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, that I haven't done yet, but I have

850
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 2: had hot sauce and coffee and that's delicious.

851
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:09,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, you gave me someone Yeah yeah yeah mm

852
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:15,600
Speaker 1: hmm uh okay, So I, in my opinion, oatmeal is

853
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:19,800
Speaker 1: not a vegetable. I am I'm not coming I'm not

854
00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:23,040
Speaker 1: coming out like hard and saying that if you feel

855
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:26,320
Speaker 1: that way, but in my opinion it is not.

856
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:32,560
Speaker 2: It's I mean, it's a vegetation, but like corn or wheat,

857
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:33,479
Speaker 2: it's a grain.

858
00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm glad that because I was very wary when

859
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:42,760
Speaker 1: you said you put the mappo tofu on oatmeal.

860
00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:46,280
Speaker 2: You could hear my weariness. Yes, so I'm glad it.

861
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:47,680
Speaker 2: I'm glad it turned out.

862
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and when you described it, I can see that working.

863
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:52,520
Speaker 1: I think when I think of oatmeal, I think of

864
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:55,080
Speaker 1: a much more sweeter thing, just because that's how I've

865
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:57,200
Speaker 1: normally had it. But yeah, if you had it kind

866
00:58:57,200 --> 00:58:58,440
Speaker 1: of plain, I can see that working.

867
00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:00,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, Yeah, you don't have to add any sugar

868
00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:03,440
Speaker 2: to oatmeal. You can do save, you can do savery oatmeals.

869
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 1: It's a whole thing. No, yes, you absolutely can. And yeah,

870
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:09,720
Speaker 1: thank you so much for writing in about We love

871
00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:13,520
Speaker 1: hearing from people from other places than where we are

872
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:17,720
Speaker 1: about what's going on there. Oh yeah, we mentioned Japan

873
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 1: and what was going on with Mapoto if we there,

874
00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:23,120
Speaker 1: but we didn't really go into it. So very glad

875
00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:25,480
Speaker 1: that you wrote in. And this is it's interesting about

876
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 1: like finding it in supermarkets and two varying degrees of quality.

877
00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:36,840
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, I need to the next time I

878
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:39,080
Speaker 2: make it out to a h Mart or something like that,

879
00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:40,880
Speaker 2: I'll have to look for some of.

880
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:45,919
Speaker 1: The some of the pre made sauce packs. Yeah, yeah,

881

Speaker 1: you should please report back. I don't get to go

883
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:54,160
Speaker 1: I want to send you on some missions for me.

884
00:59:55,200 --> 01:00:01,280
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh that's a place of many wonders.

885
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:05,120
