Chapter 1: What nostalgic 90s music moments do the hosts reminisce about?

0.031 - 7.161 Penn Holderness

Have you ever not heard the first five seconds of that song and dropped everything that you had, no matter where you were?

0

7.361 - 10.365 Kim Holderness

We had no awareness that that was maybe inappropriate.

0

10.385 - 12.908 Penn Holderness

Even though the words were, I want to sex you up? Correct. Okay.

0

12.928 - 20.379 Kim Holderness

This is eggs, bacon, and biscuits. This is exactly what we do every Tuesday morning in America. We're doing a Space Cadet? Yay!

0

20.399 - 22.321

Yeah, we get older every day.

22.341 - 32.856 Unknown

Got more wrinkles, that's okay. Yeah, we're laughing when we age. Life is like a comedy stage. And that's why we got land.

39.687 - 48.819 Kim Holderness

If you ever watched a television at the end of its broadcast night and they actually signed off, I don't know if I actually remember that.

0

49.12 - 67.867 Penn Holderness

Okay, then maybe it's just me. I absolutely remember that. In fact, I want to ask you, and maybe I could even ask Sam Allen, our producer, who's going to be with us a lot in this show, how did they sign off? They did the same thing every night. Anyone know this? I think there was a commercial that's like, do you know where your children are? Maybe, but that's not the answer. Okay. Sam?

0

68.007 - 69.15 Sam Allen

This is nothing to me.

0

70.813 - 74.2 Penn Holderness

They would play the national anthem with like a waving flag.

75.122 - 77.146 Unknown

Like the news stations would do this?

Chapter 3: What insights do the hosts share about their family dynamics?

77.386 - 86.485 Penn Holderness

Okay. Johnny Carson's done. Then whatever the late night is done. And then all of a sudden it's... And there's a flag waving. Hand to God.

0

86.465 - 100.837 Kim Holderness

Here's the thing. I am technically Gen X, but I was born in 1976, which is sort of like on the, the fringe of like, they call it like there's an X lineal. So there is a lot of Gen X stuff that I just am clueless on.

0

100.978 - 104.305 Penn Holderness

Sam Allen is furiously typing to find out the internet answer to this question.

0

104.285 - 115.142 Sam Allen

Until the early 1990s, U.S. TV stations played the national anthem as part of their sign-off routine. It featured the anthem, a patriotic video, and a test pattern before the station went off the air.

0

115.222 - 115.623 Penn Holderness

That's true.

115.983 - 116.985 Sam Allen

Until the morning?

117.285 - 118.968 Penn Holderness

Yeah.

Chapter 4: What is the significance of the Artemis mission in the episode?

119.048 - 121.111 Penn Holderness

With the bars in tone, basically.

0

121.452 - 132.509 Kim Holderness

Yeah. There's nothing. Nothing. There's no information that came to you. Okay. So picture it. Doesn't this sound lovely? There is no access to... Entertainment information.

0

132.549 - 133.471 Penn Holderness

You're not doom scrolling.

0

133.491 - 144.87 Kim Holderness

You're not doom scrolling. You can't stay up late watching TV. I guess if you had a VHS by that time and you were just in your thoughts, maybe this is why we read more. Maybe we were a little more chill back then.

Chapter 5: How do the hosts connect music lyrics to personal experiences?

144.971 - 161.872 Penn Holderness

So after Tom Snyder, all electronics cease until like until 6 a.m. I'm here for it. Honestly, I would hate it. Like the internet, just like Instagram just plays the national anthem and then goes beep for the rest of the night.

0

162.453 - 182.593 Kim Holderness

I would hate it because something happens in my brain where I will think of something at 10 o'clock and I have to know the answer right then. And so we discovered that on The Amazing Race. I swear to God, we have a show for you today, but they take your phones away from you. And so- We would be in the hotel rooms and sometimes there would be English language TV.

0

182.713 - 193.624 Kim Holderness

And sometimes we would just be watching TV in German and we needed to know the plot, but there was no subtitle. I was like, I need my phone so badly right now. I need to know what they're saying.

204.117 - 212.314 Penn Holderness

It had to be like there were dungeons and there were shackles, but he was like, he had a mustache and seemed very excited to be there.

0

212.414 - 212.554 Kim Holderness

I know.

0

212.574 - 215.52 Penn Holderness

I don't know why I mentioned the mustache part, but I just remember it vividly.

0

215.841 - 216.142 Kim Holderness

Okay.

216.242 - 224.28 Penn Holderness

It was a sweet, like a Tom Selleck mustache. Okay. Okay. You can tell I'm bantering too much when my wife says. Okay.

224.3 - 232.532 Kim Holderness

Big news in the Holderness house. We have a French exchange student with us. He is. He's wonderful. The sweetest.

Chapter 7: What are the hosts' thoughts on the humanity of astronauts?

233.573 - 249.717 Kim Holderness

I have depended on Google Translate because I do not speak French. So I'm allowed to do that. You and PC have been clunking it along. Yeah, that's a good way to put it. We were told this is a. Just give, give your students just like whatever it is you do, do not change your life.

0

249.777 - 268.845 Penn Holderness

They want an authentic American experience. That is what their French teacher who is wonderful. Yes. Said don't. Yes. And I don't know if you're at this meeting, but she said it like four times. And then parents were like, well, shouldn't we show up at the airport with like giant posters? And she was like, no, we need to get them to the school, to the school. Then you can say hello.

Chapter 8: How does the episode conclude with reflections on Earth and space?

269.305 - 279.816 Penn Holderness

And so the first morning, um, All I hear and I smell things that I have not heard or smelt in quite some time emanating from our kitchen.

0

280.056 - 280.677 Kim Holderness

Biscuits.

0

Girl made biscuits. Sunrise biscuits. She's like, this is what we normally do.

0

286.504 - 301.047 Kim Holderness

This is eggs, bacon, and biscuits. This is exactly what we do every Tuesday morning in America. And... Ben's like, we're supposed to give them an American experience. And I was like, oh, wait. So I throw a waffle at him as he's running out the door?

0

301.107 - 315.512 Penn Holderness

That's what we do. I knew that you were going to be horrible at following this specific direction because you are, at your heart, a very welcoming, caring person who likes to go above and beyond with people.

315.492 - 329.82 Kim Holderness

Exactly. So it has been a struggle for me. Even this morning, I was like, okay, we're going to go granola. We're going to do like a cereal. But I had like, oh, let me slice up some fruit. This sweet, sweet, sweet child. I don't think he knows what we do for a living.

330.021 - 331.223 Penn Holderness

No, we're never going to tell him.

331.203 - 352.562 Kim Holderness

Who is he talking to? I'm like himself. He's recording a podcast. And he's like podcast. And I was like on camera and he was, it blew his mind.
