SHOW NOTES:

• Bro-Country is a tricky term because no one self-identifies as a fan. So there's a lot of judgment baked into the word. It's not exactly a slur but it's not real descriptive. Florida Georgia Line is a “Country music act” for example that fits the bill but we doubt if you asked them they'd say Bro-Country is their genre. Who knows, maybe they would. 
•  Morgan Wallen broke covid quarantine and got (temporarily) canceled from hosting Saturday Night Live, and then later got drunk and shouted some racial slurs which got him canceled in general. 
• Our mouths start to hurt from just saying the words Sour Patch Kids Cereal. Sour Patch Kids Ice Cream is a little less painful.
• Piggly-Wiggly was, in fact, the first modern grocery store with checkout stands, individually price-marked items and shopping carts.
• In the episode, we reveal our befuddlement with the correct pronunciation of “shaman”. According to Cambridge Dictionary, in the UK it rhymes with “layman” and in the US it rhymes with “ramen”.
• Seagal movies that we discuss include Under Siege, Under Siege 2: Dark Territory, Exit Wounds (co-starring DMX) and On Deadly Ground (here’s the environmentalist sermon at the end of it).
• Here’s Seagal with Valdimir Putin. Here he is giving a samurai sword to Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Here’s him and Sheriff Joe Arapaio (we’re not sure if this is before or after they allegedly killed a puppy with a tank while shooting Steven Seagal: Lawman).
• The full name of Seagal’s conspiracy thriller novel is The Way of the Shadow Wolves: The Deep State and the Highjacking of America. His album is called Songs from the Crystal Cave.
• Here’s footage of Seagal training with MMA guys.
• Pete tells a few stories about Willits, California (which is in beautiful Mendocino County).

SHOW NOTES:

• We of course talk a lot about the Blade movies and Wesley Snipes. When reviewing Snipes' early work, we only mention Major League briefly and don’t even talk about how he didn't come back for the sequel. We also mention Passenger 57 and Demolition Man.
• Sticky Fingaz from Onyx was the star of the short-lived Blade TV series.
• We talk about the history of horror themes in comics. We don't really get into EC Comics, Seduction of the Innocent by Fredric Wertham, or the U.S. Congressional inquiry and Comics Code Authority that followed, but we could talk for days about that if you let us.
• Here’s the cover of Tomb of Dracula #10, featuring the first appearance of Blade.
• Marvel Comics characters discussed in this episode include Morbius (The Living Vampire), Werewolf by Night, the X-Men (especially Gambit), Ghost Rider, the Avengers and of course Dracula.
• We bring up John Woo, the Hong Kong-based action director. He's best known in the US for Face/Off and Mission: Impossible II. His HK work was very influential also.
• Yuen Woo-Ping is a director and choreographer based in Hong Kong who's also done a lot of work in American movies (The Matrix and Kill Bill for example).
• We talk about non-Marvel Cinematic Universe movies such as the 1989 Dolph Lundgren Punisher movie, Howard the Duck, X-Men and Ghost Rider. We do get into the MCU a little bit, with the upcoming Blade movie starring Mahershala Ali.
• We talk about a whole lot of other action movies, including Mortal Kombat (1995), John Wick, Speed Racer, Police Story, Drunken Master II and Die Hard.
• Daybreakers starring Ethan Hawke is a very smart (but also very dumb) movie that's a lot more fun than it needs to be. It's about a world where almost everyone's already been bitten by vampires and blood is getting scarce. We guess it's about oil?
• The recently-cancelled, long-running show The Venture Brothers' character of Jefferson Twilight is a Blade parody who specializes in killing vampires of African descent.
• Blacula is a 1972 film that Phil saw on broadcast TV as a child, but it fell out of rotation.
• Phil mentions, but forgets the title of, Jekyll and Hyde... Together Again. Here's the scene where he transforms. 
• In pop-singer Bebe Rexha's video for "Sacrifice" she restages a couple sequences from Blade. The song has a real early 90s club sound to it, that's what the kids want these days.
• In the episode, Phil says you don’t see a lot of references to Popeye in pop culture. We forgot about Ludacris' legitimately terrifying video for "Get Back".
• Laurence Fishburne is Phil's wife's favorite actor. When he shows up she always hopes it means everything up to that point in the movie was inside the Matrix. It's almost never true though.
• The Three Little Pigs should have a back-to-basics reboot. Kids only know the deconstructed versions now. There are deconstructed, ironic takes on the story going back to the 1930s! We just want a straight-up fable about planning ahead.
• We mention the Reginald Denny incident, which Ice Cube references in the song in “Natural Born Killaz”.
• Brickbats are bricks used as weapons. Here's an illustration of a member of the Dead Rabbits with a brickbat.
• Krazy Kat (AKA Krazy & Ignatz) is a comic-strip in which one character loves to throw a brick at the othe...

SHOW NOTES:

• Youtube is aggressively pushing sexy Fran Drescher content at Phil, such as this video where someone combed through episodes of the Nanny for material.
• We engage in some speculation about a reboot of The Nanny. After thinking about it, the Nanny itself was a reworking of similar stories.
• Dorito taco shells don't go hard enough, they're not dumb enough, there's not enough crystals on the shell. Go all the way. There should be a Mountain Dew sauce. Don't half-step!
• We discuss many Taco Bell ads, including those featuring Little Richard, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Godzilla and of course the Taco Bell Chihuahua. Phil has a lot to say about how Shaq & Hakeem Olajuwon helped Taco Bell launch the Double Decker Taco.
• Taco Bell was using the Run for the Border slogan as late as the 90s.
• The Taco Bell Cantina in Pacifica is the world's most beautiful Taco Bell.
• Here’s Taco Bell’s appearance in Demolition Man.
• Man-Bat is like a werewolf but he turns into a bat instead of a wolf.
• Harley Quinn is a culturally omnipresent sexy clown with a baseball bat and a PhD.
• Renee Montoya is a hard-boiled detective who was played in a recent movie by Rosie Perez.
• Clayface is a washed-up actor who uses makeup that turns him into a shape-changing mud-man. Body horror!
• Jason mentions the legitimately upsetting movie Monsturd. 
• Fleischer Superman cartoons are really good, they're by the animators behind Popeye & Betty Boop but they go more realistic here. They rely heavily on (and were innovators in) rotoscoping (where real motion is traced). They look super Art Deco. Here's an example of Superman dealing with some robots.
• The 1989 Batman movie directed by Tim Burton (who also made Pee-Wee's Big Adventure) maybe doesn't hold up that well but the soundtrack includes “Batdance” by Prince which would go high on the list if we ranked it.
• Bruce Timm was one of the main artists and designers on Batman: The Animated Series. His stuff looks really good but you get the idea that they needed to spray him with a water bottle every so often cause he'd get too worked up.
• Paul Dini was the head writer on Batman: The Animated Series. His sister taught one of Jake’s college classes.
• Beer Street and Gin Lane are a couple of woodcuts showing you two places: a cool place where people drink beer and an awful nightmare where they drink gin.
• The Ventriloquist is Phil's favorite villain. The actual villain is "Scarface", a dummy.
• Poison Ivy is a mad scientist, femme-fatale, ecoterrorist who looks like Tex Avery designed her in the 30s.
• Talia Al Ghul loves Batman, but her father is his sworn enemy.
• The Watchmen comic is ranked really high because it's good. It doesn't hit now like it did in 1986, what could?
• Here’s the cover of Wolverine Limited Series #4, which inexplicably features a gun sight on a crossbow.
• It turns out harpoon guns are more similar to cannons than crossbows.

SHOW NOTES:

• We mention many of our favorite karaoke songs, including “Last Christmas” by Wham! (we don't cite it specifically, but Jake also likes George Michael’s “One More Try”), “Easy Lover” by Philip Bailey & Phil Collins, “Dream A Little Dream of Me” by The Mommas & the Poppas, “To Be With You” by Mr. Big, “Bernadette” by the Four Tops and “Blow the Whistle” by Too $hort.
• Dimples is a San Francisco treasure. If you like karaoke, overpriced drinks, open gambling, a weird sex-work vibe and possibly indoors cigarette-smoking, go there.
• Ali doesn’t mention the song “Last Resort” by name when she brings up Papa Roach in honor of Beth’s hometown of Stockton, CA. The band is actually from about sixty miles away in Vacaville, CA, but hey what’s the difference really?
• We mention “Cherry Pie” by Warrant, but not as an acceptable karaoke song. Also, “November Rain” by Guns ‘n’ Roses has way too much instrumentals to be a good karaoke song. Even the radio edit.
• Phil tells a story about a former student teaching him to mix hot sauce and butter, which is the recipe for buffalo wing sauce (usually made with Frank's Red Hot sauce).
• When Jake refers to Phil’s mom having a “Bucky Walter” in her home, he’s trying to use Boontling, the local dialect of the small town of Boonville, CA. It looks like he misuses the term, though, as a “Bucky Walter” is specifically a payphone (he should've said “Walter Levi”).
• “Breaking Up Was Easy in the 90s” is a country song that Phil listens to when he goes to the hardware store.
• The paint color of the Golden Gate Bridge is neither golden nor red. It’s international orange.
• Here’s a brief video with some clips of the GG Bridge “singing” (as described in the episode by Jake and Ali).
• If you’re in Petaluma, CA and have a bagel-hankering, go to The Bagel Mill.
• The Marble Rye is the king of bagels. It's made by dividing the dough into two piles and mixing cocoa powder into one pile! Strange that it doesn't taste like chocolate.
• When Jake & Beth inexplicitly exclaim “Cram!” they’re referring to the comedy of Tony Baker.
• Googling teaches us that goats are, in fact, ungulates.
• We discuss the use of goats in religion. In Islam it's traditional at the end of Ramadan to slaughter a goat and donate it to the needy. Phil didn't know the word off the top of his head but it's Qurbani and it comes from a story about Abraham. In non-majority Muslim places there's not really a framework for donating and the needy aren't expecting goat meat. 
• The scapegoat is a different story from Hebrew tradition in which there were two goats and one was sacrificed while the other one was marked up to carry all of the sins and let go into the wilderness. We're not religious but it seems like the scapegoat got off easy (although it does carry the burden of guilt) which is the opposite of how we'd always understood the expression.

Phil and Jake are joined by Efrem Schulz, a friend of the pod-- and vocalist for Death By Stereo, Voodoo Glow Skulls and Manic Hispanic-- to stack the whack of the List of Every Damn Thing by ranking “Weird Al” Yankovic, the 1987 comedy film Spaceballs, and Warner Bros large-graphic cartoon t-shirts.

SHOW NOTES:

• It doesn’t come up in our conversation, but Efrem recorded the episode from his shop Programme Skate & Sound in Fullerton, CA. 
• Efrem also plays bass in the Danzig / Misfits tribute band Dirty Black Summer.
• Grammar authorities say both “champing at the bit” and “chomping at the bit” are fine to use.
• Jake was wrong about how to write Weird Al’s name. The quotes go around “Weird Al” not just “Weird”. Weird, right?
• Weird Al songs (and videos) discussed include “Eat It”, “White & Nerdy”, “Tacky”, “Amish Paradise”, “Fat” and “Lasagna”. And of course we couldn’t skip his polka medleys (including “The Hamilton Polka”).
• Efrem tells a story about bonding over Weird Al with George Rebelo from Hot Water Music. George is a great guy and amazing drummer. Hot Water Music is one of the best bands ever.
• Chamillionaire retired from rapping and is now a venture capitalist in Santa Monica. Here he is over a John Tesh sample and here he is on an extremely 2005 Scott Storch beat. People forget his breakout hit was about racial profiling.
• We couldn’t find footage online of the MTV show Death By Stereo did with Coolio, but here’s an old post on punknews.org that proves it happened.
• Roast battle champion Mike Lawrence has a take on Spaceballs similar to Phil's wife's.
• We discuss the works of Mel Brooks, including Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles and Robin Hood: Men In Tights.
• Rick Moranis is at his best in Ghostbusters.
• Bill Pullman is at his best in Independence Day. He belongs in the air.
• We name-check lots of cartoon characters that one might find on an oversized t-shirt, including Taz, Betty Boop, Tweety Bird, Elmer Fudd and Foghorn Leghorn. There’s also mention of Yosemite Sam mudflaps.
• Phil & Jake both looked for evidence of Michael Bivins wearing WB merchandise, and couldn't find it. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It might be that he was too grown-up by the time these shirts came about.

Phil, Jake and Jason are joined by new guest Christina to gussy-up the List of Every Damn Thing by ranking the fictional princess Cinderella, the 80s glam-metal band Cinderella, and the hip-hop trailblazer Spinderella.

SHOW NOTES:

• RIP to Shock G. of Digital Underground, who died not long before we recorded this episode.
• Jessica Rabbit is considered to be a Disney Princess by us.
• The character of Cinderella is so unremarkable in the 1950 Disney movie that they don’t even include her as an ingredient in this official trailer.
• Charles Perrault, who wrote the Cinderella story best-known in contemporary culture, is pretty much the father of the “fairy tale” genre. His works-- derived from folk stories-- also include Little Red Riding Hood, Puss In Boots and Sleeping Beauty.
• As we discuss in this episode, Brandy played Cinderella in the 1997 Rogers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella TV movie. Phil didn't mention it but when his wife listens to "The Boy Is Mine" she agrees that the boy is Brandy's. Jake, however, knows the boy is Monica’s.
• Jason didn’t mention that Drew Barrymore’s air fryer is part of a Wal-Mart Collection.
• We mention Princess Diana. You can get the Di-themed Beanie Baby for just $50k on eBay.
• I Was A Rat by Phillip Pullman is just fantastic. Phil recommends it. 
• Songs (and music videos) of Cinderella’s that we discuss include “Don’t Know What You Got Till It’s Gone” (partly shot in Bodie State Historic Park), “Nobody’s Fool”, “Somebody Save Me”, “Shake Me” and “Gypsy Road”. We also discuss their unremarkable deep-cut “Winds of Change” (not to be confused with “Wind of Change” by Scorpions).
• We engage in a bit of a hot-or-not session with metal guys, including Tom Keifer, Dee Snider, Stephen Pearcy (aka the guy from Ratt),Kevin DuBrow (aka the guy from Quiet Riot), Vince Neil, Brett Micheals, Slash and Jon Bon Jovi.
• Here's Michael Bivins (of Bell Biv DeVoe) in the video for “Motown Philly” by Boys II Men.
• Here’s a clip featuring the real voice of Gilbert Gottfried.
• The video for “Fresh” by Kool & The Gang is maybe the best interpretation of the Cinderella story and features the best K & the G song too. That's not our opinion, that's a fact.
• This trailer for the 1977 Cinderella erotic fairy tale movie that Phil saw as a kid acknowledges the foot fetish aspect of the story. The poster art for the movie is pretty great.
• Jake mentions that Salt-N-Pepa make an appearance in Coming 2 America. Spinderella does not.
• It looks like Hurby “Luv Bug” Azor was, in fact, in a relationship with Salt for a while in the 80’s.
• Jake should really know who Wendy Williams is.
• Jack Kirby continues to be Phil's example of someone who did work-for-hire in a creative field and didn't get paid.
• Jake was wrong: Spinderella is credited as a one of the producers on some of Salt-N-Pepa’s albums. But he was right when he guessed that she’s not even a performer on the album that features “Push It”.
• Here’s a clip from the Salt-N-Pepa Lifetime movie.
• We talk about the NWA song “I Ain’t Tha 1” (written and performed by Ice Cube). The lyrics are troublesome, but tame in comparison to some of his later more misogynistic songs.

If you have something to add to the list, email it to [email protected] (or get at us on Twitter and Instagram).

SHOW NOTES:

• We briefly refer to the old-timey game where you push a hoop with a stick. It goes back to antiquity!
• Recycling is complicated.
• Here’s some vampire sparkle action in Twilight.
• We talk a bit about how glam rock blurred gender lines, including mentions of David Bowie, Iggy Pop and Gary Glitter.
• Package thieves are annoying, but so are YouTube glitter bomb guys.
• We allude to “The Message” by Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five, but fail to say its name. We also totally fail to mention “Walking on Broken Glass” by Annie Lennox, and are ashamed.
• We talk a bit about Glass Beach in Mendocino County. If you’re ever in Fort Bragg, CA, be sure to check it out.
• Here’s the broken glass scene from Die Hard that Phil brings up.
• WARNING: Jake indulges in an elaborate fantasy about murdering Hank Williams, Jr. and cannibalism.
• Elmer’s glue's mascot is really clueless.
• Jake bring up the use of cow patties as fuel. It’s pretty common with the manure of all types of animals.
• Neither Jake nor Phil has read Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry.
• Bova is the cow-woman who was the midwife for Magneto's children in the Marvel comics. She's just a gentle-natured cow-woman created by the High Evolutionary.
• Apparently cow farts produce less methane than cow burps.

Phil and Jake are joined by friend (and contributor to the pod) Donovan to insert some gags and guffaws into the the List of Every Damn Thing by ranking Dan Aykroyd, all things Wayne’s World, and Saturday Night Live.

If you have something to add to the list, email it to [email protected] (or get at us on Twitter and Instagram).

SHOW NOTES:

• We don’t get the name quite right for The Hart and Lorne Terrific Hour.
• We talk about a lot of Aykroyd movies, including The Blues Brothers, Doctor Detroit, Ghostbusters (and its original script), Trading Places, Dragnet (which, we failed to mention, contains an oh-so-brief reference to Mendocino County), Nothing But Trouble, Driving Miss Daisy and The Great Outdoors.
• We mention Digital Underground. In the time between recording and releasing the episode, their frontman Shock G passed away. He was a talented guy who went too soon.
• Aykroyd’s vodka really is crystal skull themed.
• Here’s an article about Aykroyd’s spiritualist father and grandfather.
• Jake claims that the closest House of Blues to the San Francisco Bay Area is in LA, but it’s actually a little further south in Anaheim (the Hollywood HoB closed in 2015).
• Here's an early appearance of a non-Americanized Wayne on It's Only Rock ‘n’ Roll (a Canadian TV show).
• Here's one of the ads where Wayne’s World shills for UberEats.
• Penelope Spheeris directed the first Wayne’s World movie after proving her mettle with films like Suburbia and The Decline of Western Civilization (here’s a great interview of her on WTF with Marc Maron). She was too real to be invited back for Wayne’s World 2.
• Here’s the scene from The Graduate (SPOILER ALERT: it’s the final scene of the movie) that gets spoofed in Wayne’s World 2. Here’s the Grey Poupon commercial they spoof.  Here’s the Laverne & Shirley intro.
• Donovan mentions the “Jessica Simpson lip-synching thing” but he meant to say Ashlee Simpson.
• “Live from New York” is the Tom Shales oral-history book that we mention.
• We found some of the Muppet clips from early seasons of SNL but they're a tough watch. Just know they exist.
• Here’s a pic of Conan O'Brien and Bob Odenkirk when they were writers on the show in the 90s.
• Here’s footage of FEAR getting themselves banned from SNL. Here’s Jenny Slate dropping the F-bomb that got her fired from SNL.
• We name a lot of people who passed through the doors of SNL as cast, crew, hosts or musical guests. The ones not already mentioned above include John Belushi, Lorne Michaels, Phil Hartman, John Candy, Mike Myers, Dana Carvey, Leslie Nielson, Christopher Walken, Andy Samberg, Kate McKinnon, Chris Rock, Julia Luis-Dreyfus, Robert Downey, Jr., Eddie Murphy, Adam McKay, Robert Smigel, Will Farrell, Norm McDonald, Kyle Mooney, Michael Che, Bonnie Raitt and AFI (though we only mention their guitarist by name).

Phil, Jake and Jason witness the triumphant return of Andy Granelli (from The Distillers & Seized Up) as we cram more fillings into the the List of Every Damn Thing by ranking burritos, San Francisco’s Chinatown, and Mendocino County in Northern California.

Find Andy on Twitter (@AndyGranelli) and Instagram (AndyGranelli).

SHOW NOTES:

• We briefly mention root vegetables, which are delicious and nutritious because they suck up all the goodness from the Earth (see: land).
• The origin of the Mission-style burrito is debated. As we mention in the episode, some claim the originator to be Taqueria La Cumbre. 
• We also talk about Pancho Villa Taqueria (with locations in San Francisco and San Mateo), though they’re not a contender for Mission-style originator.
• We discuss a few Mexican fast-food chains, including Taco Bell, Del Taco and the Pacific Northwest’s Taco Time.
• Andy loves chile relleno burritos. Here’s a recipe for vegan chiles rellenos.
• San Francisco’s North Beach is a good place to get square pizza.
• Phil talks a bit about Green Point, Brooklyn, which apparently has lost much of its Polish character in recent years.
• The podcast 99% Invisible has a great episode about the making and re-making of Chinatown, including a recount of the events following the Great 1906 Earthquake & Fire.
• The Naan ‘n’ Curry in North Beach closed years ago. We’ll meet you in Thug Heaven, salmon tikka masala.
• We discuss a lot of bars in Chinatown and nearby North Beach. The  Li-Po Lounge has been around since 1937 (Anthony Bourdain-- America’s Angel-- recommends the Chinese Mai Tai). The Buddha Bar is where you can find the “strong like bull” drink. Vesuvio Cafe (which we refer to as “Vesuvio’s”) still has a Myspace and is a great place to go for Beat Generation vibes, as is Specs’ 12 Adler Museum Cafe. Bow Bow Cocktail Lounge has, according to Andy, seen some debauchery.
• The Lady from Shanghai had shooting locations all over San Francisco, including Chinatown. The climax takes place at Playland-at-the-Beach, which is depicted on the It's-It wrapper.
• Here's photographic evidence of Jason ambushing Bernie Sanders.
• Mendocino.com assures you that Cabot Cove (from TV’s Murder, She Wrote) is in fact, the Town of Mendocino. 
• The City of Ten Thousand Buddhas: go for the vittles, stay for the koi fish and peacocks. 
• Jake notes atrocities suffered by indigenous people at the hands of white settlers in and around Mendocino County, including the events of the California Trail of Tears and the Mendocino War.
• While discussing marijuana production, we refer to the Emerald Triangle, a nickname given to the area covered by Mendocino, Humboldt and Trinity Counties. This region produces more cannabis than any other place in the U.S.
• We’re big fans of redwood trees, which can be found in Mendocino County at Montgomery Woods and Hendy Woods. We speculate about where the moon of Endor scenes from Return of the Jedi were shot; it turns out it was privately-owned land up in Humboldt County.
• Anderson Valley, where Boonville is located, produces a lot of great wine. It’s also home to the Anderson Valley Brewing Company, which has been around since craft beer was called “microbrew”.
• Phil said the first sighting of Bigfoot was in Willits, but can't back it up with facts. Sources say it was somewhere in Humboldt County but who cares what they say?
• We mention Dexter Holland’s Anarchy Airlines, but we seriously doubt the guy is actually a fan of anarchy.
• Here’s some pics of Snoop Dogg at the Ukiah Municipal Airport.
• The “Ukiah Shot” was an off-menu item at The Forest Club.

Phil & Jake are joined by singer-songwriter (and bud-of-the-pod) Dave Hause to pile up the tall-stack of the the List of Every Damn Thing by ranking pancakes, Bruce Springsteen and band Bon Jovi.

Follow Dave Hause on Instagram (@davehause), Twitter (@hausedave) and Facebook (DaveHauseMusic). You can find his songs on Spotify & Apple Music, and here’s his most recent Bandcamp Fridays release.

If you have something to add to the list, email it to [email protected] (or get at us on Twitter and Instagram).

SHOW NOTES:

• Tengen Tetris, the version of Tetris that Phil mentions, is pretty well known. It was made for the NES by Tengen before Nintendo got the license.
• We talk a lot about our buds “Million Dollar” Matt Hock and “Uncle” Dave Walsh from the band Space Cadet (who were our guests in Episode 35). BUY THEIR NEW RECORD!
• Here’s the Rolling Stone write-up for Dave’s moving and haunting song, “Your Ghost” (which Jake refers to in this episode).
• We talk a lot about Dave’s brother and collaborator Tim Hause. He doesn’t have a Wikipedia page yet but you can stalk him on Instagram.
• Jake gets the name of “Regulate” by Warren G wrong. We can’t find proof that it was originally intended for a Nate Dogg album, but Jake’s pretty sure he learned from reading Have Gun, Will Travel: The Spectacular Rise and Violent Fall of Death Row Records by Ronin Ro.
• We mention Murder Was the Case: The Movie, a short film starring Snoop Dogg and Charlie Murphy.
• Here’s a short piece about the Batter Blaster and it’s failure. It's inventor owned San Francisco’s bar & venue Thee Parkside in the early 2000’s.
• “Hungry Heart” gets covered as a Ramones song sometimes.
• “Blinded by the Light” was written and originally recorded by Springsteen, but everyone knows the Mannfred Mann version best. Springsteen and Patti Smith share writing credits for  “Because the Night” but it originally appeared on her album. “Born to Run” is all Boss, baby.
• Here's the Kroll Show song about the Poconos that Phil talks about. There's a recurring segment in Kroll Show called Pawnsylvania which is a reality show about two cousins (one from Philadelphia and one from Pittsburgh) trying to manage each other's pawn shops. A lot can be learned about the two cities from it!
• Here's the Bleachers song that features the Boss.
• Here’s the TV commercial where Dolly Parton endorses the twelve-hour workday.
• Bon Jovi songs discussed include “Livin’ On A Prayer”, “Wanted Dead or Alive”, “Blaze of Glory”, “You Give Love a Bad Name”, “It’s My Life” and “I’ll Be There for You”.
• Some lazy googling produces the impression that “Slippery When Wet” and “Born in the USA” are practically neck-to-neck in worldwide record sales.
• John Mellencamp has a real Nick Nolte look going on these days.
