Hey, I was raised on Frankie Valli by my mom, and she's from the midwest and I was raised in Arizona. I even went to a Frankie Valli concert once when he was like 83
The 1990 Suburban didn't have cup holders, not even the ones with the center console. You had to buy aftermarket ones, which are still available on eBay.
This short rest is so amazing, I don't know why the whole asking the group text if dad ever drinks while meaning it like that is funny but it's great
With music in the car with riding with him, It is unbelievable on how many guitarists my dad taught their iconic solos to.
Could Nyack BE any more Giuliani?
Me internally: I probably used to be a Velma, now I’m a shaggy Emily: I think you have to have an inflated ego to consider yourself a Velma Me, internally but sad: … yeah that’s true
My mom and thus our family are huge Pepsi stans- get Coke outta here
caldwell softly in the background “oh my god fred…*scoff* full of yourself much?” has me in tears
SIX SEVEN
Where was Yankee Doodle Doo on January 6th
No joke, im a god at “when did things come out” It’s the least impressive superpower of all time
I just love the way Emily says things. Her incredulous "Scooby has the same lineage as Donkey Kong?" is just yet another gift
My dad used to work for Pepsi so that man ALWAYS has a Diet Pepsi on him ALWAYS
Omg, I remember for a family roadtrip from NJ to Disney World we had a Ford Aerostar with the back seat taken out an an air mattress taking its place. We listened to a cassette of the book "Wizard's First Rule" by Terry Goodkind and the Dixie Chicks on a disk player while I did my summer homework or I played Rambo with my barbies
When did things come out deserves its own collection section in patreon 🗿
Emily- my Mom is also a devout Pepsi drinker. Literally the only thing besides Pepsi I remember seeing her drink when I was a kid was milk, and that was only when she was eating spicy food or chocolate.
This episode just unearthed a memory of me at ~15 listening to The Offspring in the car with my dad, who’s only remark was something along the lines of “a window into the young male mind.”
My memorable road music was a warped Larry the cable guy we listened to it so often and I was convinced from how high pitch his voice was that he was a Lil ol'skinny prospector.
The dad’s drinking and driving conversation had me in tears 😭
Pictures at an exhibition referenced 🗣️🗣️
Hey guys, love the show!! By the way…. How to say Naruto: Gnar-Roo-Toe How not to say Naruto: Nuh-Roo-Toe
As someone with an inflated ego, I did identify with Velma but wanted to be/be with Daphne
At the gym right now, listening to nadpod and I just took my headphones out to hear 'youth of a nation' playing over the speakers
I for sure also had the Aladdin piano book (and the one for the Little Mermaid). They somehow didn't make it on our road trips, though.
The books also had instrumental scores, along with full-page color pictures. The first song in TLM was "Fathoms Below."
I had to Google what a trad wife (and a girl's girl) was. Life off of social media is beautiful!
oh, do I envy you
Itchy....scratchy ...closet jump scare!
Uh.. so, Scooby Doo X Naddpod one shot when!? IMO, the lore of Scooby Doo/the Scooby Doo universe in general, is just begging for a one shot to take place in it. All together with the main cast and regular guest characters, there’s a rather large list of weird-ass side characters that Murph can have fun talking like lol. Hell, the show’s episodes were basically 1 shots already lol.
The Scoobiedooniverse
More and more I’m convinced Emily grew up in a cult compound. 🤣
Scooby doo is actually related to eldritch ctuhlu like creatures in scooby doo lore
I have a very vivid memory of me kicking and screaming in the backseat begging my mom to put on the gummy bear song. Mind you I think I did this multiple times when we would go on road trips.
Frankie Valli is pure gold!
throwback to monetized positivity
Fun fact about the Pepsi challenge: after one sip (how they did it for the ad campaign) more people prefer Pepsi, but if you survey them after drinking an entire glass Coke wins by a big margin
I’d wager Pepsi goes flat faster than Coke. With that said, in my opinion Pepsi definitely goes flat way too quick after opening… while Coke also goes flat like 10-15 minutes after opening. I’d rather drink RC Cola over either Pepsi or Coke. Give me a can of Barqs root beer, too.
Mixed Bag of the crew singing through the entire Aladdin song book pleaaaase!!
I love y'all, but every single time you attempt to pronounce Naruto's name it irks me. It's pronounced Nah-Rue-Toe, not Nuh-Roo-Doe. They pronounce his name in EVERY SINGLE EPISODE
It feels like a bit, right? Because even on Dimension 20 Naruto has been made reference and his name is said properly in front of both Murph and Emily. I feel like they do it because they know we are going to be in the comments lol
I have never felt more shaken and betrayed than I do hearing that Jake and Caldwell liked Scrappy Doo
Fun fact, The finger sweep is no longer considered best first aid practice! Your just supposed to go straight to the Heimlich now a days.
And if you're alone and choking on something, the back-of-a-chair maneuver is basically a way to give yourself the Heimlich!
Back in the day, Pepsi and Dr Pepper over Coke. Rooby Roo rules!
I need this to keep running forever.
Jake’s super power origin lore grows. His father has never drank anything while driving. Jake doesn’t burp and can control his dreams. What a powerhouse of a family
My Dad would do the "you take the wheel" bit. He would also take both hands off the wheel and drive with his knees.
Driving with our knees is a proud family tradition. How else am I going to eat my breakfast in the car?? It didn't occur to me that it was anything short of normal until I started driving around with my husband - it positively horrified him.
Thank u druncula
Okay but the Baba Lysaga card is really sick tho
My god. I have also never seen my father drink anything while in a vehicle.
When I was really little (like 5-6, probably should not have been in the front seat) and my Dad was taking me home from school, once we were on the little two lane (Presumably empty) road going back to our house he would sometimes pretend to pass out while driving, and I'd reach over and "steer" the car until he "woke up". I always loved it
The phrase “Scooby-Doo is the Donkey Kong of his McDuck family tree” is some sort of NADDPOD summing script.
I don't think my dad ever had me take the wheel, but my dad drove a manual when I was little, and I definitely have memories of him letting me do the gear shift at an age when nowadays I wouldn't even be allowed in the front seat.
I was kind of hoping they would eat dream pastries. Emily would love the little old woman.
This episode just dredged up a long buried memory of my family driving home from a ski day on the mountain circa 1999. I can remember so vividly me chilling, minding my own business in the back of the car listening to Rage Against the Machine’s magnum opus ‘Battle of Los Angeles’ on my headphones and the absolute bop “Guerilla Radio” is hitting my ears. My shithead older brother who’s just bored and wants to start a fight tells my Dad to put on the CD I’m listening to and I freeze in place as my Dad says “Okay” and I have to get my ass put on blast for the simple pleasure of enjoying peak late 90’s rap rock. Fuck you Ryan, you can eat a fucking rat.
absolutely nothing to do with the episode, but would you guys be willing to talk about sonic underground? I was changing tv channels for my younger cousins and the only thing they could agree on to watch was sonic. However when i put it on it was a channel that exclusively played sonic underground where sonic is in space and as a triplet with a brother and sister as hidden royalty and also a famous band? It honestly made my eyes and head hurt from the bright colors and I would love to hear for murph to describe what the hell was happening, while jake and emily make me more confused, and cauldwell bounces between bits and the burden of brain deep etched knowledge he must earnestly share.
They did this one for a mixed bag back in 2021!
My mom used to work at my elementary school when I was a kid and she would drive us to school together and we would sing Barry White in the car. I think about that often. I miss you mom. Gone 20 years now
“a naddpod ass sentence” funny enough it’s also a drawfee ass sentence
My dad would drink coffee but straight out of a regular ass mug. Just a ceramic mug from the house he brought in the car. So does my mom. And my brother. I'm the only one in my family who finds this strange.
Hyper specific pull of listening to Fat Lip in the car with your dad in high school. That line specifically my dad clocked and said “did they just say ‘bullshit?’” And I had to say “uh, no…. They said ‘abortion’”
Me, thinking of myself as a Velma: 👁👄👁
There’s a reason people seem to cosplay her way more than any of the other characters lol
As a trumpet player and band director, please talk more about Mussorgsky
When I hear 'heilmlich' I just think of Choke by Chuck Palahniuk
Quick BLS input in the comments of this show about a show about a game, don't do a blind finger sweep on someone choking. You might end up pushing things further and make the choking worse
On the subject of the kid’s weird run in Weapons, my friend said he saw an interview with the director and said the run is trying imitate that famous picture from the Vietnam War of the little naked girl running from napalm. So…that’s unsettling.
Naddpod talks so much about ai that one of the first recommended podcasts for me is AI led D&D
Keychain guest stars on a few
I'm SO GLAD we found a near perfect NADDPOD sentence with "Wait, Scooby has the same type of lineage that Donkey Kong has?". It's like half a Grinch short but it's near perfect
Commenting to preserve in my digital footprint
as a fellow southerner, the jeff foxworthy tape went crazy on the roadtrip with dad (jerry seinfield was a close second)
when my little brother was 7 he got SO upset bc our mom was drinking and driving, what was she drinking you ask? a caprisun😭
this reminds me of one of my mum's favourite stories to tell from when i was little; iirc i'd phoned 999 because she'd taken pills (a normal dose of paracetamol for a headache) - presumably she got drowsy and fell asleep or something 😅
My dad was a heavy car drinker. Drink of choice? Dt. Mountain Dew. Once we finished our bottles, we’d turn and smile at each other and see how far in the car we could throw the bottle over our shoulders. My dad was always parched.
I definitely identified with Velma. I knew I was smart but also that I was very uncool
The last time the wife and I took the kids on a family road trip to Dollywood, we listened to Twilight Sanctorum on the return trip. That has to be weird for you guys.
murph got me with "NADDPOD ass sentence" because he's so right
Saying "I want a cream pie that I can dunk my face into" and it being about starting a business is one of the most Caldwell things I've ever heard
Please bless us with a Scooby-doo deep dive mixed bag / 8bbc / the view crew
"4 year old daughter" hit like a damn truck.
Shoutout to caldwell’s “it’s a star struck odyssey” joke which I think did not get enough love.
Baba Lasaga got her named butchered by ‘y group when we played curse of strahd. Her name ended up being Robert Lasagna.
16 minutes in, and it's impossible to know what this show is. Like, what is this podcast? Simply incredible.
hey emily & other baba yaga fans, if yall ever visiting, there is a restaurant in Portland OR called kachka that serves delicious russian fare & the interior has the nods to the house held by chicken feet!
I'm pretty confident Emily doesn't read these, but I have a fact I think she'd really enjoy (if anyone who reads this is in a position to pass it along.) Tiamat, the five headed dragon, gets her name from the ancient Mesopotamian religion, where she's goddess of "the above ground sea." She's also a mother goddess (aka boy mom) to gods and monsters alike. She's generally thought of as a dragon or sea serpent, but her actual physical description is "a tail, a thigh, lower parts (which shake together), a belly, an udder, ribs, a neck, a head, a skull, eyes, nostrils, a mouth. "
Who ISN'T starstruck by Baba Yaga??!?!
“Toby McGraw”? My blood instantly boiled into gas
Finally we are seeing Rudy Giuliani given his flowers lmao
"Wait, Scooby Doo has a lineage like Donkey Kong?!?!" was the moment of the episode for me. I really hope the crew compares the family trees sometimes, they both have girls named Dixie. Also the fact Great Grandpa Scooby was a "Civil War hero" makes that possibly extremely problematic. a la Gex in WWII.
I’m with Emily sibling singing is so beautiful 😭 me and my brothers sang grand ol flag allll throughout the Florida Everglades lmao
My grandpa was also a devout Pepsi fan. Had a few sips everyday. Shout out Nacho ☝️🫶
no patreon email yyyyyy
I have a vivid road trip memory of watching The Incredibles (plus all of the special features) on repeat on a tiny DVD player for the entire duration of a 14 hour trip.
Scrappy doo being the villain in the second live action scooby doo movie was THE best. Very meta
I'm sorry to say that Scrappy was the villain in the first live action, 2002. But I agree. Meta and fun!
Genuinely, thank you for not spoiling Weapons. I haven’t seen it yet, and unlike IF, I actually want to.
as someone raised irish catholic with two brothers, murph’s distaste for even the idea of trad wives is deeply refreshing 🫶🏽
Pictures at an Exhibition mentioned! I love Mussorgsky
Is it a running joke to pronounce Naruto wrong that I missed the origin of?
Oh sweet, new Emily lore just dropped.
the director of weapons, zach cregger, said the run is based on the photo of the indonesian girl covered in napalm. big bummer ): also probably a little of what murph said - like they're being puppeted
I remember a road trip my family took from Oregon to San Francisco, I was sitting in the backseat listening to my cd player. Well I was evidently listening a little too loudly because my dad said that we might as well play it in the car cd player if I was going to blast my headphones. I reluctantly agreed and was then subjected to my dad mercilessly roasting Hoobastank for at least 3 or 4 songs before his respect for me had completely drained and he gave the cd back lol
Of all the bands I listened to that my dad hated, Hoobastank was definitely the one that got the most razzing, why was that?
impeccable timing. just got in line at the dmv. thank u naddgods 🫡
