97. Patriarchy, Jack Kirby, Fanta

In their long-awaited return, Phil & Jake rank patriarchy [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriarchy], the legendary comics creator Jack Kirby [https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/52883804], and the soft drink Fanta [https://www.fanta.com/] on the List of Every Damn Thing [https://www.everydamnthing.net/]. If you have something to add to the list, email it to list@everydamnthing.net [list@everydamnthing.net] (or get at us on Twitter [https://twitter.com/EveryDamnTweets], Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/everydamnthingpod/] and Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100068246141702]). SHOW NOTES: * Bully sticks [https://kipandtwiggys.com/bully-sticks-for-dogs/] really are made from beef penis. * "Work for hire" is the situation that an illustrator like Kirby, or a session musician, might work under. He was paid cash for his work but didn't retain any ownership. At the time, the idea was that the work was ephemeral trash anyways; but now, years later, it's proven to be valuable. * The Fourth World [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_World_(comics)] was Kirby's set of fantasy/science-fiction stories at DC. He got to do pretty much what he wanted and he went nuts with it. * Mister Miracle [https://hips.hearstapps.com/digitalspyuk.cdnds.net/14/32/comics-jack-kirby-mister-miracle.jpg] was maybe the character that's most closely identified with Kirby. He's an escape artist refugee who lives in the suburbs and is married to an action heroine. * Star Wars [https://www.everydamnthing.net/29] really seems to pull from Kirby's work. * Doctor Doom [https://www.everydamnthing.net/76] is a very fun comic-book villain created by Kirby (and Stan Lee). * Stan Lee worked with Kirby in the 1960s and co-created almost all of the early Marvel characters and stories with him. * The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay [https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3985.The_Amazing_Adventures_of_Kavalier_Clay] is an acclaimed novel by Michael Chabon where one of the characters is based (partly) on Kirby. * Here’s Kirby’s original drawing of Captain America punching-out Hitler [https://miro.medium.com/max/1400/1*lnuGu4_AKDjvIbdYY7K6Gw.jpeg]. * The Banshees of Inisherin [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRu3zLOJN2c] is a 2022 film partly about legacy that explores the question “Does being a decent person matter?” * Thundarr the Barbarian [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhAobPugvsk] was a 1980s cartoon about a post-apocalyptic adventurer. Kirby did some design work and by all accounts was paid fairly and treated well. * Kamandi [https://comicsalliance.com/tribute-kamandi/] was a post-apocalyptic comic about the last boy on Earth, an Earth now populated by talking animals. It seems like it was heavily influenced by Planet of the Apes, even though Kirby hadn’t seen the movie when he created the comic. * Holy Mountain [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmR0vi0ifzE] is a film directed by Alejandro Jodorowsky, financed partly by John Lennon, which is difficult to explain. It's surrealistic, absurd and mind-blowing, and it really seems Kirby-influenced. * Kirby Krackle [https://kirbymuseum.org/blogs/simonandkirby/archives/3997] is a visual effect that Kirby was known for. If there was energy coursing through something, he might illustrate it with weird dots around it. * The Neil Gaiman [https://www.neilgaiman.com/] quote that Jake recites is from the book Kirby: King of Comics by Mark Evanier [https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/734309]. * O.M.A.C. [https://theslingsandarrows.com/jack-kirbys-omac-one-man-army-corps/] (One Man Army Corps) is a truly bonkers comic written and drawn by Jack Kirby. * It appears as if Glenn Danzig [https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6c523] did know Kirby personally, and even worked with him. Here’s an interview that Danzig conducted with Kirby [https://www.twomorrows.com/kirby/articles/22danzig.html]. * Mezzo Mix [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mezzo_Mix] is totally the most normal thing in the world. * We discuss Kit-Kats in Japan [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kit_Kats_in_Japan], which have been incredibly successful there, in part because their name sort of sounds like "good luck" in Japanese. There are many, many variations on the traditional Kit-Kat flavor in Japan. Some of these have come to America as well. * The Fantanas ads were a throwback to an earlier style of ads. The premise is that sexy babes with soft drinks show up and refresh people. Here's a good example [https://youtube.com/watch?v=qNfr8yrrGtU&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE], and here's one in Spanish [https://youtube.com/watch?v=F614uU3DsqM&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE]. * Other sodas discussed include Crush [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsBRkWw9IpQ], Orangina [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BKOC4zaB6I], Surge & Josta [https://www.everydamnthing.net/5]. * Jake drank is half-Fanta at the Loews Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal Orlando [https://www.loewshotels.com/portofino-bay-hotel], which is near Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville [https://www.margaritavilleorlando.com/]. He paired it with some Old Florida Original Gourmet Chips [https://www.oldfloridagourmetproducts.com/product/original-tortilla-chip-11-oz/]. * The fever has really passed on hard seltzer [https://www.everydamnthing.net/58]. Now that the dust has settled, in the cold light of day we can say it was ranked fairly. * Calamari [https://www.everydamnthing.net/21] isn't good, it's just a rubbery mass. * Hulk Hogan [https://www.everydamnthing.net/33] was a boring wrestler who's had a really negative impact on the world. * Phil thinks Aerosmith [https://www.everydamnthing.net/59] are dire, just absolute bottom level garbage, and he’s Phil has banned from his life with a zero tolerance policy. ALSO DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE: Marfa, TX * wild pigs * the male gaze [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Male_gaze] * capitalism [https://www.everydamnthing.net/19] * Gambit [https://www.everydamnthing.net/2] * Steven Seagal [https://www.everydamnthing.net/47] * the McRib [https://www.everydamnthing.net/20] * Death [https://www.everydamnthing.net/72] * Jon Voight [https://www.everydamnthing.net/30] * QAnon [https://www.everydamnthing.net/6] * transphobia [https://www.everydamnthing.net/33] * Marvel Comics [https://www.marvel.com/comics?&options%5Boffset%5D=0&totalcount=12] * D.C.

SHOW NOTES: * The kid in Madonna's Open Your Heart [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snsTmi9N9Gs&ab_channel=Madonna] video isn’t Leo Dicaprio, he's Felix Howard, who is now an A&R guy. * Actors that we talk about include Kurt Russell [https://geeksofdoom.com/GoD/img/2014/02/big-trouble-in-little-china-jack-burton.jpg], Kim Cattrall [https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bp-DJTsCIAAF2KL.jpg], Dennis Dun [https://kungfukingdom.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Wang-is-armed-and-ready-for-action-1024x650.jpg], Victor Wong [https://miro.medium.com/max/1400/1*0m1QRuICHn61x_Frs_t0Ew.gif], James Hong [https://ultimateactionmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/James-Hong-e1600037106591.jpeg], Danny Trejo [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001803/], He Huy Quan [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0702841/], Al Leong [https://kungfukingdom.com/henchman-the-al-leong-story-review/] (here's his wedding announcement [https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FUMqrUsXoAALvTf?format=jpg&name=large]), Dennis Quaid, Harrison Ford, Jason Mantzoukas [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1727621/], Tom Cruise, Jackie Chan and Rodney Dangerfield [https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cx38MxWW8AEvYP9.jpg]. * Other movies discussed include Everything Everywhere All at Once [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxN1T1uxQ2g], Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBdyLyijZhU], Overboard [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnydK_qKLNQ] (which Phil thinks is really indefensible because Kurt Russell’s character brainwashes Goldie Hawn’s; “it's a Rapemantic comedy”), Minority Report [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lG7DGMgfOb8], Dreamscape [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ybHzYtF3ZM] (filmed in Stockton, CA), Innerspace [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kQDIosuZuo], Guardians of the Galaxy [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d96cjJhvlMA], The Golden Child [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aoGFs05NfY], Friday [https://www.everydamnthing.net/87], Caddyshack [https://www.everydamnthing.net/52], The Matrix [https://www.everydamnthing.net/46], Trading Places [https://www.everydamnthing.net/22], Ferris Bueller’s Day Off [https://www.everydamnthing.net/83], Flashdance [https://www.everydamnthing.net/48], The Truman Show [https://www.everydamnthing.net/23], The Wizard of Oz, Howard the Duck [https://www.everydamnthing.net/34] and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4Hbz2jLxvQ]. * Jack Burton is a very influential protagonist, maybe even more so than Snake Plissken. He's sort of John Wayne as a buffoon. Bruce Willis' persona owes something to Jack Burton. * If you want to hear an even more in-depth discussion of Big Trouble in Little China, check out this episode of the Blank Check podcast [https://soundcloud.com/griffin-and-david-present/big-trouble-in-little-china-with-paul-scheer-jason-mantzoukas?in=griffin-and-david-present/sets/they-podcast-the-films-of-john]. * Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson owns the remake rights to Big Trouble in Little China and makes noises about a remake from time to time. * John Carpenter’s soundtrack (and especially the theme song [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqPJMIctqFU]) are a must-listen. * Here’s the New York Magazine article [https://www.vulture.com/2013/08/rise-of-bro-country-florida-georgia-line.html] in which Jody Rosen first coined the term “Bro-Country.” * Here’s a history of the Country laundry-list song [https://www.savingcountrymusic.com/the-history-of-the-country-checklist-laundry-list-song/]. * Dr. Suess’ pants with no one inside them [http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WBTTDtoPRA4/W8ZdrUEnVRI/AAAAAAAAcd0/7-tvV7Z69zUoTl0GeIWV2bJ3x3RSIuBewCK4BGAYYCw/s1600/Pale%2BGreen%2BPants%2Bwith%2BNobody%2BInside%2BThem.jpg] are from the last story in the Sneetches book. * “Cruise [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmZ9xRO7M9M&ab_channel=FlaGeorgiaLineVEVO]” by Florida Georgia Line is maybe the ur-text of Bro-Country. Or– going further back– in could be either “Honky Tonkin’ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wyXrJrDkvk]” or “Jambalaya [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnKOVPXhlnE&ab_channel=gduwen]” by Hank Williams. * Other songs discussed by include “Big Green Tractor [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rv8agst9o_0]” and “Dirt Road Anthem [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lb9q1ScC4cg]” by Jason Aldean, “Sand in My Boots [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0_PyOWZ7iU&ab_channel=DoGoodMusic]” by Morgan Wallen, “Jack & Diane” [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h04CH9YZcpI] by John Mellencamp, “Honky Tonk Badonkadonk [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNVguvNE7qc&ab_channel=TraceAdkinsVEVO]” by Trace Adkins, “Dilemma [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WYHDfJDPDc]” by Nelly w/ Kelly Rowland, “If That Ain’t Country [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhEHB0a7Uyg&ab_channel=bentleyks63]” by David Allan Coe, “That’s My Kind of Night [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crCqWK3SmRo]” by Luke Brian, “Friday [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfVsfOSbJY0&ab_channel=rebecca]” by Rebecca Black, “All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2GBQqSKl8w&ab_channel=CurbRecords]” by Hank Williams Jr., “If You’ve Got the Money, I’ve Got the Time [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJbShe2zEqI&ab_channel=LeftyFrizzell-Topic]” by Lefty Frizzell, “Friends In Low Places [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvCgSqPZ4EM&ab_channel=TheMusicMan4111]” by Garth Brooks, “Tulsa Time [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSRWuAxh9v0]” by Don Williams, “Boys Round Here [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXAgv665J14&ab_channel=BlakeShelton]” by Blake Shelton, “New Truck” [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51clGP2i4Ow] by Dylan Scott, “Beer With My Friends [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxFPkqInPhI&ab_channel=ShyCarter]” by Shy Carter, “Beer [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brG6HYG112w]” and “Turned Up On the Weekend [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tf2moPCM5ws&ab_channel=BranchezMusic]” by Branchez & Big Wet, “American Pie” [https://www.everydamnthing.net/74] by Don McLean, “Do You Know the Way to San Jose” [https://www.everydamnthing.net/10] by Dionne Warwick, and “Santa Baby” [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mk_GmhD053E] by Eartha Kitt.

95. Dungeons & Dragons, Sliced Bread, Harry Styles Re-Ranked

Melissa B. is back to help Phil, Jake & Jason rank the tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeons_%26_Dragons] and sliced bread [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sliced_bread] on the List of Every Damn Thing [https://www.everydamnthing.net/]. Plus we re-rank contemporary pop superstar Harry Styles [https://www.everydamnthing.net/71]. If you have something to add to the list, email it to list@everydamnthing.net [list@everydamnthing.net] (or get at us on Twitter [https://twitter.com/EveryDamnTweets], Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/everydamnthingpod/] and Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100068246141702]). SHOW NOTES: * Valley Fever [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coccidioidomycosis], also called desert rheumatism, is a respiratory disease that's thought to be caused by shark scales. It's endemic to Central and Southern California. * Dungeons & Dragons [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeons_%26_Dragons] is a role playing game invented by Gary Gygax and many others. It's really broad and open-ended but is the most popular game in that genre. In the game, players assume the roles of characters who have fantasy-themed adventures. * Dungeons & Dragons [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeons_%26_Dragons_(TV_series)] was also the name of a cartoon made in 1985 as a tie-in for that game. It was about a group of teens that got transported to a different world and became fantasy adventurers with magic weapons. It had a kind of Narnia vibe. * Gary Gygax was the creator of Dungeons & Dragons, although he didn't create it alone, and it grew out of other, similar games. * JRR Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit which are foundational works in modern fantasy. Along with Conan, these books more or less created the genre/setting for Dungeons & Dragons. * Alcoholics Anonymous [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoholics_Anonymous] is a mutual-aid group formed in 1935 in which members work together to help themselves recover from  alcoholism. Phil speculates that there are probably good AA Dungeons & Dragons games. * Dice are polyhedral objects with numbers on the sides used to generate random numbers. The most commonly used dice are the six-sided dice you might use in a craps game or Monopoly or inside the Pop-o-Matic bubble of a Trouble game. Dungeons & Dragons requires different dice, 4-sided, 8-sided, 12-sided, 20-sided etc although now that Phil thinks about it, it's pretty unnecessary. With a few math changes, the game would work fine with 6-sided dice but people like to have that velvet dice sack. In prison, where dice are banned, Dungeons & Dragons players have to use other methods [https://www.quartertothree.com/fp/2017/07/26/play-dungeons-dragons-without-dice/] though. * The Dungeons & Dragons movie [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SnA2rv4ros] looks like it has some pretty bad special effects, even for the time. Jeremy Irons appears to be having a fun time with it, though. * SPOILER ALERT! Harry Styles plays Eros aka Starfox [https://www.marvel.com/characters/starfox-eros] in Eternals [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_(film)]. ALSO DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE: chain mail * half-orcs * improv * the Satanic Panic * E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial [https://www.everydamnthing.net/episodes?page=2&per=30] * role-playing games * the Golden Girls [https://www.everydamnthing.net/63] * video games [https://www.everydamnthing.net/31] * audio books [https://www.everydamnthing.net/66] * Sorry!

SHOW NOTES: * For the second time in recent episodes we discuss the songs of Chubby Checker (both "The Limbo Rock" [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiGhPD0GXhM&ab_channel=vintagevideoclips] and “Let’s Twist Again [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxQZQ86jJHg&ab_channel=RetroTVCentral]”). * I Know What You Did Last Summer [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiAlcLlJpQE] was a post-Scream 90s horror movie. The title of the sequel was I Still Know What You Did Last Summer [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bm3-443K2V4], which Phil doesn't approve of. * The Karina Longsworth podcast You Must Remember This had a recent episode about Flashdance & Risky Business [http://www.youmustrememberthispodcast.com/episodes/1983-mtv-aesthetics-flashdance-and-risky-business-erotic-80s-part-6] as part of the current season which is about sex in movies (which used to be a thing).  * Pittsburgh is a city in western Pennsylvania where the Allegheny & the Monongahela rivers meet to form the Ohio. * Phil claims that old Popeye [https://www.everydamnthing.net/23] cartoons are much more Olive Oyl and Bluto-centric than you'd think. Some of the better Popeye cartoons aren't streamable because WB's not crazy about the themes. Phil's favorite is "Can You Take It [https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2s6y11]" in which Olive gets a job as a nurse for an underground fight club. * Thimble Theater [https://comicskingdom.com/thimble-theater] was the original comic strip that Popeye sprung out of.  * Freddy Krueger was a villain in horror movies in the 80s who attacks people in their dreams. Phil has only ever seen the third Nightmare on Elm Street [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryooh3M42sg], where Laurence Fishburne is an orderly at a hospital for traumatized kids and the kids flip the script on Freddy and defeat him. * Phil mentions a French scientist who thought sleep was a distraction, and caused himself health problems by staying awake for long periods. This may have been something his parents told him as a kid to get him to sleep. He doesn't know why the scientist was French either. * We talk about “sack hounds” and “sack artists”. Phil had always understood these to mean lazy people who could sleep wherever. After looking it up on WW2-era slang websites it seems like a “sack artist” is more like a womanizer whereas a “sack hound” is someone who tries to sleep. * Beetle Bailey [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beetle_Bailey] is a simple, gag-based comic strip with a military setting. * Peanut butter is traditionally made of peanuts, smashed. That's why Phil's idea of selling roasted peanuts as extremely crunchy peanut butter makes sense. To Phil. * Peanut oil is the oil that you can squeeze out of peanuts. In peanut butter jars, it separates and has to be stirred back into the peanut butter. What? You think it'd be better to just have a jar of peanuts so that the oil will stay put? Yeah me too! * Almond butter is mashed-up almonds. * The Got Milk? ad campaign which emphasized milk's usefulness as a lubricant, was kicked off by a Michael Bay-directed ad in which a guy has jammed so much PB&J into his mouth that he can't say "Aaron Burr" to win a radio contest [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E90JIkk0Ntk&ab_channel=AnthonyKalamut]. It's a very common problem. * George Washington Carver [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Washington_Carver] invented about three hundred products derived from peanuts, but did not invent peanut butter. * Peanuts are legumes that are eaten as food in the world and are especially popular in the USA, Nigeria and Thailand. Phil used to work with someone who was Thai and she said that Americans all eat rancid peanuts in contrast to Thailand where they eat fresh ones. We’re afraid she might be right! * Phil went looking for pics of Lucy Pinder to link to and found this [https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/l-WpTMEjK2_Ytvc9tPLmXFdS0MT4qCQl2sqa_geLSfhOyd25cWDuWs7gubY1dneKsvusTlyClRsAP93JcJhyDNwqzEEWj8HAUzZ01A=w1400-k] which is an NFT of a picture of her. We hope she gets a cut of this. Realizing that Lucy Pinder is a real person has taught Phil empathy. * Boiled peanuts are a fantastic Southern food. They come in a wet paper bag (the kind that so many people have trouble fucking their way out of). * Sam Elliott was on the Mission: Impossible TV show [https://www.reddit.com/r/OldSchoolCool/comments/7o1j8t/sam_elliott_without_the_mustache_in_mission/] back in the early 1970s. He looked good even without the mustache.  * We talk about a few movies, including The Big Lebowski [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naC6XMVk17M], Power of the Dog [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRDPo0CHrko], Young Guns [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0LdYnxB1sI] and Tombstone [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTWYKf5hXIg]. We also talk reflect on the Western and superhero movie genres in general. * Here’s the Sam Elliott episode of WTF with Marc Maron [http://www.wtfpod.com/podcast/episode-1309-sam-elliott]. * Malk [https://simpsons.fandom.com/wiki/Malk] was the name of an alternative milk [https://www.everydamnthing.net/84] in a gag on the Simpsons from 1995. It's now a real product [https://malkorganics.com/].
