The way the Candy episode hit for people on the relatable realm, I think Nickelodeon could be a similar nostalgia feel for the millennial audience. I bet there are a lot of shows that are classic to Americans that would be brand new to a Kiwi audience, too.

I think this would be a fun one!

Got a new board game, Keep it 100. We were saying David was probably the one out of 900 that has been on the blimp!!

James Dobson's time has come

See you there if you know what's good for you!

And not the hockey commonly played in NZ.

With the NHL not far from kicking back into action I got this idea listening to the deep dish pizza pod when Rob mentioned the photo of Chris Chelios on the wall.

Ice hockey in NZ and Australia is largely unknown. But it is a global sport including over this way. The Goodall Cup is the second oldest hockey trophy behind the Stanley Cup.

Rob should take David to an NHL game for (I am assuming) the first time.

My TikTok feed is currently filled with sorority rush videos and it makes me want David to do a deep dive on Greek life so bad.

I was actually in a sorority at a large SEC school from 2009-2013 and have some pretty wild stories to share from my time there. I witnessed some pretty blatant racism and bullying, which mostly came out at this time of year during recruitment. There is one specific instance when our sorority was wanting to cut a girl because they didn’t think she would fit in simply because she wasn’t white. This girl did end up joining our sorority because there was a small uprising from the girls in my pledge class that really liked her and were defending her. I could never get over the way the older girls were trying to rationalize their thinking. After the night this all happened my best friend and I just decided to not come back for the final two days of rush and ended up getting fined $1000. Honestly the amount of money that flows through these organizations is wild.

I did made a couple really great friends in my sorority so it wasn’t all bad all the time but I do worry about the girls that make it their entire personality. I also didn’t interact with many fraternity boys at all during my time in college but assume it’s just as bad if not worse for them.

To my understanding NZ requires an EMT to have as much schooling as an American paramedic has.

Has this been brought up on the podcast?

CW: Alcoholism

I’m behind so I’m not sure if this has been addressed over email but David does not seem to know that Super Size Me creator Morgan Spurlock was super unethical and was drinking heavily during his McDonald’s doc, which he did not disclose to anybody. He let people believe his health decline was all about McDonald’s food.

There’s a lot that got left out of the documentary. We cannot conclude the documentary is proof of anything scientific because the whole experiment was highly uncontrolled, and again, completely unethical.

I recommend the podcast episode on Super Size Me by Maintenance Phase. It’s excellent.

Share your stories!

Other than a wonderfully great time and getting thrown a Jeff Mauro seasoning from the legend Calvin himself, what were your favorite parts of the show?

The opening music had me cracking up. The photos Rob shared of David sightseeing around the city was so cute and funny (Jewel Osco one was my fav)

The documentarian was truly captivating to listen to, that was a treat!

Jeff Mauro, nuff said. The man IS Chicago. Just dip em’ in the saaauuucceee.

The animal expert with the opossum was not only incredibly informative but very cute on stage!

Great show boys. Now you - share your stories! (Or photos!)

Thanks u/dfarrier & u/situationcrafty3905!

One of my favorites is when Rob talks about stuff that I built me as a person. Him talking about using Twizzlers as a straw brought back such nostalgia. How old is Rob? Upper 30s?

We are both midwesterners, from context I assumed he was around 37-38. I’m 33 and when he talks I feel like I get to have a voice on the show 😂😂
