And so that was my sister's throw up bucket. She'd get sick in the back seat and it would pass the bucket, pass the bucket.
Welcome to episode 51 of the Musers, the podcast. I'm Craig. I'm George. And I'm Gordon. And we are back after a bit of a summer break. Hope everybody enjoyed the Kessler live show episodes, parts one and two that we dropped while we were on summer vacation to celebrate our one year anniversary. Got a lot of good feedback on the Kessler show. It was fun.
Who are the Musers and why are they back after summer break?
It really was a fun show. And where are you guys been? I showed up last week and no one was here. You did not.
You were in Montana. Why can you vacation in Texas?
Like I did real American part of my vacation in Texas and part in Montana. Okay.
Don't call it Montana.
I spent almost all of my vacation in New Mexico, northern New Mexico. The mountains there, that's my happy place. George and I got away. Gordo, where did you spend your vacation?
I agree, y'all got away.
I understand you spent your vacation on YouTube. Ha ha!
I don't know what you're talking about. I was trying to catch up on YouTube and see a lot of the stuff that I may have missed.
There's a lot out there. I don't think you can really catch up on YouTube.
There's never an end to YouTube. Yeah, I watched about 50 hours of anime. Have you guys ever watched anime?
Good for you. Yeah.
Not really. It's an anime that was made like in the late 90s. I hear a lot of talk about anime, but I really don't know much about it. What do you mean? How much talk do you hear about anime?
I have a friend whose child is way into it, and that's what they want to do. And I really don't understand what it is. You don't?
I know it's some sort of animation, but... I kind of understand what it is, but I also don't know much about it. Is there a sexual element to it?
there is to some of it it's like racy animation yeah there are some that are like that yeah yeah but the stuff i was watching wasn't this is about race street racing speed racer i used to watch speed racer when i was a kid crappy cartoon it was not it was great does that qualify as anime i think it does like the first anime that's a good question it wasn't the first anime
I don't know. I don't know anything about it. Don't yell at me.
Japan has had a long cultural history, George, that you may not be aware of.
Well, they had to come up with something else after they got that butt whooping back in the 40s. Oh, gosh.
They are our friends now.
Almost 100 years ago. Still real to me, though.
Watching the Roosevelt's, I highly recommend it. Have you ever owned a Japanese car?
I have. Yes. Honda, right? Yeah, sure. Honda Accord. Okay, so see.
Great car. You didn't completely turn on the Japanese just because of a slight mistake they made in the 40s. It's a different place now.
The Roosevelt's, is that the new?
It's been out for a while, but it's Ken Burns. It's his new series. Okay. Yeah, Eleanor drove a Civic.
Yeah.
He did not have a civic. It's fascinating.
Is it FDR and Teddy?
And the relatives who came before them, as they say, the most influential family in American history, and I think they're right about that.
Does it include Jerry Jones' assistant, Roosevelt?
No. Well, it may. I haven't got to the final episode yet, but it's great. And Eleanor's maiden name was? Roosevelt, fifth cousin. Mm-hmm. Yeah. It's a little tense. And she was Teddy's favorite niece. She was the daughter of Teddy's younger brother.
But everyone freaks out about that. Fifth cousin is hardly related to you though, right? I know. I mean, that's pretty far away.
And they say, because I looked it up, they say that I think you're okay on the genetics thing. They think you're okay.
Yeah. What's the, isn't it like once you can get to like second cousin, it's hardly any. Yeah. I think you're good. All right. Okay. All right.
All right, our topic this week is going to be the Great American Road Trip, speaking of our summer vacations. We'll get to that in just a moment. But first, the letter of the week. And by the way... Somehow, this spot is still for sale.
The heck? Yeah, we need a sponsor for this.
