SHOW NOTES:
Razzle-dazzle camouflage is where you paint all sorts of strange confusing patterns on ships to make it harder to see what direction they're moving or facing.Phil made an effort, but couldn't figure out why The Great White Fleet was white.In the episode, Jake refers to the yeast that people put on movie theater popcorn as “brewers yeast”. Some might call this “nutritional yeast” which is technically different but often used in the same way. Nutritional yeast is probably more popular for popcorn these days.Martinelli’s uses the apple-shaped juice containers that Phil loves.The time where Ice-T drank apple juice in Evil E’s car is recounted in his song “Midnight”.Jackie Gleason played Buford T. Justice in Smokey & the Bandit. That movie and Cannonball Run both rely on speed limits for their plot.Here’s El Rocketeer from In Living Color. It’s not especially funny. Phil brings up people that are sexually excited by Tony the Tiger, What's happened is more complicated than what Phil says. Kellogg's is constantly baiting furries by putting sexy Tony the Tiger content out in the world and then acting shocked when they get worked up about it. We think for a lot of furries, Tony the Tiger was their gateway into being a furry in the first place so it really resonates. Here's a summary by the journalists at Huffington Post.
