Episode 125 - KAZAAM

It’s Shaq-Fu, Diesel, the Big Aristotle

About time you let me out the bottle

To spit like the colossal genie apostle

And a five thousand-year-old role model

Your deadbeat criminal dad’s a disgrace

I like to invade his airspace with my bass

Make it rain burgers after winning a bike race

And slam your momma’s French toast into your face

Pay attention even if you ain’t superstitious

I’m about to grant these three podcast wishes:

An episode so vicious, delicious, and auspicious

I’m true djinn, boy, my style’s never repetitious

Get ready for the original Shaq-tober jam

Courtesy my best friends Eric and Cam

Shout it over the air and across the land

I am…Kazaam!

Episode 122 - SAVED BY THE BELL

Saved by the Bell was a high school sitcom that was never really intended for high schoolers. Each episode was a candy-coated PSA asking tweens to imagine that their teenage years would be full of wholesome hijinks, mild predicaments, and overly attentive principals. Today, it's a rich document for cultural archaeologists curious about the style, slang, and sexism of the American teenager circa 1990.

Kristal Bailey and Kevin Taylor join our clique for a reunion at Bayside High, as we examine some of the show's most indelible--and infamous--moments. Go Tigers!
