  • #D2 (dabbling to dado) ft. Jim Parks

    I read from dabbling to dado to my dad (and mom).

     

     

    "da capo" means "from the head/beginning".

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Da_capo

     

     

    "dactylology" is literally spelling letters and numbers with your hands in sign language:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fingerspelling

     

     

    I love the idea of Dada art:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dada

     

     

    Mona Lisa Saperstein may not have SAID "Daddy" in this clip, and she's not even talking TO her Daddy, but you get it. And the way she says it is hilarious. You should watch the whole scene.

    https://youtu.be/eyNAlLO1KlE

     

     

    Daddy Long legs are confusing:

    https://spiders.ucr.edu/daddy-long-legs

  • Interviewed by Jonah (Post-C)

    Now that the C's are done, my good friend Jonah thought it would be fun to interview me about this truly astounding podcast.

    I hope it's fun for you. 

    He also made a new theme song! (Don't worry, I'll still be using the one from Tom)

    The D's are coming up in August 2022!

    You may enjoy the song even more if you look at the blue blob on the left at the same time.

    When talking about Ghostbusters, we were probably thinking of "ectoplasm".
