Finally, society is ready to start talking openly about the Bus Driver Dance.
Are we ready to talk about Michael Caine’s little Scrooge dance? Don’t tell me it’s a character choice, you can tell that’s how he dances in real life.

You all remember how upset folks got when Green Book won Best Picture?

That’s how I felt about Anora.
Late night question for the gang: what’s your LEAST favorite Best Picture winner that’s not Crash?

Look, this is a good opening, but for the 99th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, how did we not open with a parody of “99 Luftballons?”

(And yes, I do know what the original song’s about.)

What if Lou Gehrig hadn’t gotten sick? If he’s healthy, he gets his 500th home run by the end of 1939, and likely reaches 3,000 hits before he turns 40. I truly believe he would’ve been the first player to reach both milestones.
What’s your modern historical hinge point? Nothing political. Just your major cultural What If? For example, I’m a 1994 Expos truther

-“Resignations on the Whizzo set were rarely typewritten.”
-The Jesters. They’re everywhere and everyone.
-Winning a RiffTrax beach ball!
-Finally getting a riff of Cats.
19 years of RiffTrax! RiffTrax was founded on this day in 2006. What have been your favorite memories of almost two decades of riffing those Trax? rifftrax.com/offers

what's the most random interaction you've ever had with a celebrity?

Easily in the top five ToughPigs memories for me, maybe even top three. He could’ve just kept walking, but he took the time to thank us for coming, and that was really touching.
once I was eating at a diner with some friends, and Matt Vogel, puppeteer of Kermit and Big Bird, saw us and came in to say hello

I guess it's maybe less exciting when you know we all are puppetry people, but it really astonished my spouse so...?
