SHOW NOTES:

  • In our conversation, Jake refers to it as “Daylight Savings Time” but apparently the "s" at the end of “Saving” is wrong (though a pretty common mistake).
  • We incorrectly guess that Hawai’i recognizes DST. It doesn’t, and neither does Arizona. Indiana does recognize DST, but it wasn’t implemented statewide until 2006.

  • Gambit’s staff is a telescoping bo staff, it doesn’t have some kind of pitchfork element as Phil thought.

  • Phil mistakenly refers to the Stooges' short “Disorder in the Court” as “Odor in the Court”.
  • Mantan Moreland wasn’t a slapstick guy like The Three Stooges but he could have done it. Here he is at the Apollo with with Nipsey Russell.
  • We briefly mention Hattie McDaniel, the first African American to win an Oscar (for her role in Gone With the Wind), but not by name.
  • Phil and Jake watched We Want our Mummy in Phil's New York City apartment in the early 2000s.
  • Here's one of the Stooges' eye-poking gags, and here's Curly spinning around on the floor.
  • The works of Antoni Gaudi we discuss include Casa Batlló, the Sagrada Família and Park Güell.
  • The famous New York City “master builder” whose name we can’t remember is city planner Robert Moses.
  • We cite Moebius (who drew fantastic cityscapes), H.R. Giger (who created creepy aliens) and Salvador Dalí (who
