This week!

From iconic wheels to flame-broiled beef

to beloved comedic legends, we’re covering it all.

Segment 1: Pop Culture’s Most Iconic Vehicles

The cars that became characters themselves

We tackle the burning questions that keep pop culture nerds up at night:

• What makes a vehicle truly iconic in pop culture? We debate the

criteria that elevates a car from simple transportation to cultural

phenomenon

• The ultimate tragic hero on four wheels - Which beloved

automotive character met its devastating end in season three? (RIP to the only car to ever get whacked?)

• Battle of the Batmobiles - From Adam West’s sleek 60s

ride to the tank-like Tumbler, we rank which Dark Knight got the best

wheels

• Plus deep dives into other legendary rides that defined their eras

What’s your pick for most iconic pop culture vehicle? Let us know!


Segment 2: Burger Wars Part 2 - Burger King

“Have It Your Way” and the chip on their shoulder that changed fast food forever

The King takes center stage as we explore:

• The eternal runner-up complex - How being perpetually #2 to McDonald’s shaped BK’s entire identity


• The birth of the Burger Wars - Why Burger King’s aggressive 1980s

marketing campaigns literally ignited the fast food battlefield

• Flame-broiled vs. fried - The taste test that launched a thousand commercials

• “Have It Your Way” philosophy - Revolutionary customization or just good marketing?


Will Burger King finally get the respect it deserves? We’re doing it our way to find out.


Segment 3: People Who Died - NOOOORM!

Remembering a comedy legend

Another emotional round of “People Who Died” as we pay tribute to:

• The man behind the iconic “NORM!” entrance - Celebrating the life and career of a beloved comedy icon

• His impact on television comedy and pop culture

• Memorable moments and the legacy that lives on

• Why his character became shorthand for the perfect neighborhood regular
