What is the episode’s opening banter and how do the hosts set up the July 1959 Peanuts discussion?
Good grief, you have joined us for episode 106 of Talking Nuts or Peanuts Podcast, where myself, the chief and my co-host Parkey, chronicle one month's worth of Charles Schultz's Magnum Opus. That is the newspaper strip Peanuts every week of the year. We are on a massive roll at the moment because we've got three pretty consecutive weeks of episodes being released, which is unheard of in the world of talking nuts apart from when you go back to them early days, because we are busy. people. But anyway, you hired the chuckle on the end of the line, it can only mean one thing. Hey Chief. Uh keys here. How you doing? I'm not too bad. Uh as discussed earlier, uh we are recording here at eight fifty one AM and I am on my fourth Doctor Pepper of the morning.
It's incredible. And w are they all are they all being flavoured Dr Peppers or is this your first Dr Pepper uh cream soda comic? No, they're all the cream swirl. All the cream swirl. Yeah. Nice. I'm quite jealous. I figure I got a I've got a long day ahead of me. I'm going to the MCM XL London Comic Con today. Yeah, nice. You're gonna record this sugar crush just before you leave. Yeah, good yeah, yeah. I'm gonna record this episode, I'm gonna pack my bag full of comic books to get signed, I'm gonna head on up to London town and then regret drinking four cream sodas when I need to piss in a convention centre full of ten thousand sweaty geeks. Yeah. But everyone's wee is gonna smell a Dr. Pepper or uh like a mine wheel for sure.
Excellent beverage. So you've had four. I I mean imagine you've bought like a pack of six. No, I've opened I just opened number four before we start recording.
How do Chief and Parky talk about the upcoming MCM London Comic‑Con and the guest list?
So technically I've only had three so far. But making my way through number four. Okay, yeah, yeah. All right. Make him away through number four. Yeah. Yeah, you sound like a a a man who's got self restraint. So um yeah, so I'm I'm guessing you've had you you're on your fourth, you've opened four. I'm guessing there there are two unopened somewhere, unless you had two like last night just before you went to bed. Well, you say that, Parky, but you are incor in fact incorrect 'cause it was an eight pack, I think. Wow. Um or was it a six pack? I don't know. But no, I have had whatever was remaining uh is is been guzzled long ago. Well I say long ago, I mean yesterday. And it is hard once you get something opened to stop once. 'Cause you just think well I've got I've got to have it anyway, some others have it now.
It's the it's the age old chief problem. If it's not in the cupboard I don't miss it, but if I've got it I have to d eat or drink it to excess. Yeah, it's gone. Till completion. I used to uh live I'm not sure if I've told the story already, I used to live with a colleague, uh sorry colleague, mutual friend um of ourselves, um Brookie, who would buy Haribo um on his shop and he would open the pack and he'd have one and then put the back pack back in the cupboard and then have one in Says a lot about a man, some good things, some bad. Mostly bad. Mostly bad, yeah. So I would I would just have one. Um uh you know, 'cause you're not gonna miss one. So you just take I'll just take one and then the next day take another.
Um and he must have thought, Wow, the reason why I'm eating these slowly is 'cause they go down quickly. Yeah. Or Harabar really was cut back on their portion sizes here. Exactly. Well I've got I've got two two half glasses of water 'cause I keep bringing water upstairs. Yeah. Um and so I've got two uh thought about pouring one into the other or not? Uh no, I like to keep them separate. W only because one is yesterday's water. Um and this so I wanna keep yeah, I wanna get have today's now and then have uh uh yesterday's probably never I might just pour it into the plant. Okay. Uh and kill that.
Mm.
Good thinking. Thanks, Chief. Um So uh last week, as listeners uh will have heard, I got up to a lot of stuff. Uh this week uh I nothing. Back to nothing. Nothing from nothing leaves nothing. So you're going up to the Comic Con, it who's there? Uh I take it Luke Skywalker's gonna be there at the same time.
