This was the first episode where I had to take notes as I listened in the detention center. Or was I under the bus? It felt like I was under the bus. I’m glad I trained Jet Jaguar to sub for me in the producer booth. There was no way Nate could’ve handled the show on his own. It’s too bad I wasn’t there because I would’ve liked to have met Brendan and challenged Joy to a friendly duel. Anyway, episode 75 required me to do some research using my limited internet access in the detention center. I may or may not have called in a favor from a certain “Hyper Agent” to gather the information I needed (but you didn’t hear that from me).
- Must you remind me of the Daimajin incident? It’s on my top ten most embarrassing moments. Not top five, though. (I don’t want to talk about those).
- Masao was my wingman for a while. You know, when I helped Gamera save the Earth from a space squid…who’s now one of my bosses. (Damnit…).
- I can appreciate the Star Wars references from jail. I need a little joy in my prison life…at least while the “X-Lady” is sleeping…which is a lot.
- The crab/lobster fighting game has the obvious title of Fight Crab. It’s on Steam and the Nintendo Switch.
- Sadamasa’s full name is Sadamasa Arikawa.
- I had to do some digging (YouTube’s search system is goofy), but I found the Peanuts singing “Jingle Bells” in English:
- I’m just as surprised Brendan understands Jet! It’s like he has a sixth sense with robots. Is he a technopath? I don’t meet many people with those abilities.
- Roasted Daicondoru does taste like chicken and is served by Japanese KFC’s. It’s one of the Island’s exports to the mainland. What’s strange is only one restaurant serves it on the Island itself: Burt’s (named after Burt Gummer).
- Jet and Rex go way back…or so they tell me.
- Joy provided me with a link to the “Godzilla cloud” clip.
- I confirmed the cigarette on Mothra, which Nate then used for a hype meme.
As usual, Nate has an overabundance of research that can’t all make it onto the episode. Here’s what he had for this one:
One more blog, and I’m caught up (for now)!
