It’s been 3 days since we dropped our Oprah episode. And I can’t stop thinking about A) How terrible she is, and B) How she was quite literally Joe Rogan for 90s moms.

@knowrogan.bsky.social you ever consider Oprah in your travels?

That morning as a 7 year old is burned into my brain. ‘The Cat and the Claw’ was the preview/debut episode if I recall correctly. It set the tone for the entire autumn, and a very Batman centric Christmas list.

The 1986 Aliens/Glamour Shots promotional campaign was baffling at the time, but set a real standard for movie tie ins today.

As seen off the thruway, about half way between Rochester and Buffalo, NY.

I sure hope no one else vandalizes Christian billboards like this. Tisk-tisk to whoever did this…

FWIW, I’d bet whatever commercials showed up on TV, would have been different than what was cut from these recordings.

From the flash frame we saw, it looked like an ad for a Teen Mania mission trip was cut. Which was likely very time sensitive, and given the boot for rebroadcasts and VHS reprints.

I love this clip, because the narration makes it sound like he’s about to give you an 800 number where you, yes you, can order The Toronto Blessing ™️ for the low low price, of 4-easy payments of just 19.99

Oh no! I’m sorry if you misunderstood. This has in fact been a podcast about the US naval fleet the whole time. I sincerely apologize for the confusion.

Recorded a short Quibi ep today that was supposed to be around 30 minutes. We went for over an hour.

Hope everyone wants some bonus content!
