SHOW NOTES:
- Happy birthday to Marissa's mom, Karen! That is, if you're reading this on the day the episode was released. If not, then either happy belated birthday, or happy early birthday for next year. You choose.
- This was the first joke Phil's son was able to pull off: "What's green and smells like blue paint? Green paint!" He's still working on our new favorite: "What's the secret to telling a good joke timing."
- Therapy in the future will be Phil's son going into a VR experience where a Pokemon-branded A.I. therapist goes through his father's social media and podcasts and then administers a virtual medication.
- Other pop stars discussed include Avril Lavigne, Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, Cher and Prince. We also talk about non-Pop musicians like Klaus Nomi, Bruce Springsteen. “Weird Al” Yankovic, Charli XCX, Hank Williams and the Ramones.
- We get into so many Britney songs: “...Baby One More Time”, “Gimme More”, “Work Bitch”, “Radar”, “Unusual You”, “Until the World Ends” (featuring Nikki Minaj & Ke$ha), “Oops I Did It Again”, “Toxic” and her rendition of Sonny & Cher’s “The Beat Goes On”.
- Jake recommends this Mystery Show podcast episode about Britney (though he incorrectly attributes it to the podcast Invisibilia).
- Phil mentions the Netflix show This Is Pop. The third episode "Stockholm Syndrome" discusses Max Martin's team in Sweden, and one producer explains the piano-playing finger formation the he dubs “hit claw” (which was used to create "...Baby One More Time").
- Here’s the “Toxic” remix from the Promising Young Woman soundtrack, and here’s the mash-up with the B-52s’ “Love Shack”.
- Phil was familiar with Rolling Stone cover featuring Britney with a Teletubby, but had never noticed the Teletubby.
- The documentary about Britney’s conservatorship (and the #freebritney movement) that we refer to is Framing Britney Spears.
- Here’s Britney being interviewed by Michael Moore for Fahrenheit 9/11.
- We don’t even mention that Dan Aykroyd plays Britney’s character’s dad in the movie Crossroads!
- Fear not, the saga of bread & butter pickles controversy does continue in this episode.
- Here’s Britney & Justin Timberlake’s denim outfits.
- Marrisa’s right, kefir is very similar to yogurt. Other types of alternative milks discussed include almond milk, soy milk, oat milk and coconut milk.
- We talk about a lot of different iconic leather jacket looks, including those of Indiana Jones, Marlon Brando, Danny Zuko, Arthur Fonzerelli, Eddie Murphy, Ford Fairlane, Blade and The Matrix.
- We couldn’t find any evidence of what Jake calls a “snowy river jacket” ever appearing in The Man from Snowy River.
- Banthas are the big hairy things in Star Wars that live on the desert planet of Tatooine (not the ice planet of Hoth). They stand in for either camels or buffalo.
