41. Glitter, Broken Glass, Cows
In this cuss-free episode, we add glitter, broken glass and cows to the List of Every Damn Thing.
Phil and Jake abstain from bad words and bawdy talk as they apply some sparkle to the List of Every Damn Thing by ranking glitter, broken glass and cows.
If you have something to add to the list, email it to list@everydamnthing.net (or get at us on Twitter and Instagram).
SHOW NOTES:
- We briefly refer to the old-timey game where you push a hoop with a stick. It goes back to antiquity!
- Recycling is complicated.
- Here’s some vampire sparkle action in Twilight.
- We talk a bit about how glam rock blurred gender lines, including mentions of David Bowie, Iggy Pop and Gary Glitter.
- Package thieves are annoying, but so are YouTube glitter bomb guys.
- We allude to “The Message” by Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five, but fail to say its name. We also totally fail to mention “Walking on Broken Glass” by Annie Lennox, and are ashamed.
- We talk a bit about Glass Beach in Mendocino County. If you’re ever in Fort Bragg, CA, be sure to check it out.
- Here’s the broken glass scene from Die Hard that Phil brings up.
- WARNING: Jake indulges in an elaborate fantasy about murdering Hank Williams, Jr. and cannibalism.
- Elmer’s glue's mascot is really clueless.
- Jake bring up the use of cow patties as fuel. It’s pretty common with the manure of all types of animals.
- Neither Jake nor Phil has read Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry.
- Bova is the cow-woman who was the midwife for Magneto's children in the Marvel comics. She's just a gentle-natured cow-woman created by the High Evolutionary.
- Apparently cow farts produce less methane than cow burps.
