26 Oct 2017The Mom And Pop Store (S6E8)01:00:01

This week Stephen and Ivan cobble together another episode of BIDWBASC, heading to Season 6 Episode 8, The Mom and Pop Store. They cobble together notes about Mom and Pop, Vic the Car Salesman, Guy on Phone, Woman at Party and the Dixieland Deli Band, with a bio on the one and only Jon Voight (the actor, not the periodontist, from 11:57). You’ll have a cobbling good time! (cobbling is a word that needs to be used more often in daily communication).

Ivan channels his inner Woody Woodpecker at the start of the show, the sound of rain inadvertently becomes our new Seinfeld News background music, Home Alone is the most violent film rof the 90s, Mom and Pop were scammers: a crackpot theory, another Home Alone reference, and Ivan misses out on a bottle of Snapple.

This week we go to the vet to check on our cough and stab forks in our exes' foreheads as we talk about the secondaries from The Andrea Doria.

We talk about protective prom girl Dads, thinking that the Andrea Doria sinking was fictional, using tragedies for social gain, and kennel cough; Seinfeld News (from 5:32), episode trivia (from 12:55); secondaries Clarence (from 16:30), Mrs Ricardi (from 24:23), Alan Mercer (from 27:59) and Smuckers the coughing dog (from 33:34), Listener Mail (from 41:00), and if the episode and any of this week's secondaries make our list of the greatest episodes and characters of all time!

16 Dec 2017The Mango (S5E1)01:04:43

The boys finish the year talking about the secondaries from the classic Season 5 episode, The Mango (Episode 1). They analyse three characters this week; the Mediterranean obsessed Karen, the stern greengrocer with a heart of gold Joe, and Elaine’s Broadway loving coworker Renee (from 14:52). There’s certainly no faking here that’s for sure.

Ivan and Stephen touched (on) Dalrymple last week, some weirdo watched Bee Movie 357 times on Netflix in one year, can we join Jerry the teacher’s school Seinfeld Club?, hold me closer Larry David ’Buck Dancer’, imagine if Super Mario was a lothario, Joe punched the daylights out of Brad Pitt in Fight Club, and a Fourteen Day Festivus has arrived in Melbourne! 

We will be at Melbourne Central on Wednesday night 20th December for the Fourteen Day Festivus so if you know what we look like please come say hey (check our socials for pics).

Thank you so much for listening to and supporting us this year, we enjoy bringing you new content each week and are looking forward to being back in January for Season 3!
