   Just one quade. Great point, Sandy. Uh-oh. You know what? No. You three have done a podcast equivalent in the past. You did a DVD commentary for your fantastic film, Popstar.

   All right, I'm going to screen share. You guys seen this? Okay, we're watching me dance to- It's not playing. We talked a little bit about me doing the dancing, right? What are they playing there? Is it like Blue Ridge…

3. Jorm dances to Fleet Foxes origin

   23:24

   The Fleet Foxes dance video was shot during rehearsal on a point-and-shoot camera with a video mode. The band was rehearsing for its live show, not for the video.

   So, the question is, what event happened a year or two years before then that affected both the writers of Total Recall and Douglas Hauser, M.D.? Or Akiva. Hmm. is one of the writers of either one of those actually… — Akiva

9. Doogie Quaid nickname

   32:41

    Well, he read a comment and then would have moved past briskly to keep the show car on the tracks. No way. Exactly. Sorry, Seth. We can keep a car on the tracks because guess what? I saw another comment that said, I've… — Akiva

12. Quaid Army origins

    36:43

    The Quaid Army is the collective name for podcast listeners. It is the proper phrase to shout at the hosts in public.

    It just kept building and then Quaid Army became a thing and it became somewhat of a problem for me

13. Smint and righteous kill callback

    37:30

    Are we done with Couple of Homies? I wanted to talk about the end of Couple of Homies. Yeah, let's get into Couple of Homies, dude. So the end of Couple of Homies is the part that I like the most. Backscratch, funny…

17. Couple of Homies wraps with NYPD Blue homage

    41:45

    The short ends with Will Forte stepping back from the record booth, revealing a full bare butt. The hosts liken it to the NYPD Blue nudity that aired on network TV, which was a big deal at the time.

    So the end of Couple of Homies is the part that I like the most.

18. NYPD Blue shower scene reference

    43:31

    Dennis Franz's bare butt on NYPD Blue became a famous network TV moment. The hosts treat it as the inspiration for the short's closing reveal.

    I think a couple of homies was, in its essence, an homage to NYPD Blue.

19. Any Quaid joke

    47:14

    The hosts joke that the Quaid greeting is for any Quaid, not just Jack Quaid.

    Any real Quaid. Any double Quaid. Quaid-o! He said they say Quaid-o.

    We have a pitch for merch, which would be a box of smints, but the logo says Quaid Army.

21. Pittsburgh bar Gooskies

    53:27

    A listener identifies the Pittsburgh bar Akiva referenced as Gooskies in Polish Hill, a punk bar serving pierogies.

    I'm like 90% sure the bar Akiva is referencing is Gooski's in Polish Hill.

22. Gooskies and goose jokes

    1:00:26

    The name Gooskies is a goose pun, and the hosts make goose-related jokes throughout the episode.

    It's just fun to say. Yeah, I think that's all it is.

23. Why geese are funny

    1:00:36

    Jorm reveals he was bitten by a goose when he was five, which may explain the comedic appeal of geese in Lonely Island work.

    when I was five years old, I was bitten by a goose.

24. Anthony Edwards name confusion

    1:01:29

    The hosts joke about the actor Anthony Edwards from Top Gun and the basketball player Anthony Edwards sharing a name, and the 'Ant-Man' nickname.
