Born in the Eighties 271: Buzzed Tweeting is Drunk Tweeting

Buckle up folks, we got a long one.  5 hundo eps.  Crazy.  We bring back a blast from the past, our friend, Mercury Stardust.  She regales us with tales of her book tour and crazy tiktok life.  Quizbot grills mercury with the hard hitting questions, and we all wonder if Jon will accidentally deadname his guest? Tune in to find out!  Thanks so much for listening for 500 episodes, here is to 500 more!

TJ has some stories from the hospital about how he lost a bit of weight... surgically.  We also talk about how Trucks are dumb, and try to out-interrupt eachother in a game of Um... Actually.

Spanky refuses to talk to gamers, and the vibes in the World of Warcraft are all off.  What isn't off is those sweet subtle tomato vibes.  Also, are you ready for your annual spousal evaluation report?  I have a lot of notes...

That is a real "oof" right there.  And we are 100% sure she isn't a Nazi right?

There were a surprising amount of guns in that children's anime right?

What will they think of next? Monkey Cameo? Wait. That is my idea, pls do not steal.  I have sent the idea via post to myself, so I own the copyright on that idea. I will have a lawyer look into this, promise.

Yeah, you got your mortadell' your gabagool, your bologna.  Basic cold cuts.  Head cheese is for real dudes.  Get that collagen in ya.  

Imagine this, you have your book-it free personal pan pizza coupon in hand, your mom pulls in to the pizza hut parking lot.  You have tickets to see Fern Gully later, but right now, it is time to have a piece of heaven in the garden room.  Everyone had one of those right? A vegetation lounge? A sun room? Greenhouse?  Just my pizza hut?  Ahh.. memories.

Jon's AT&T fiber went out for a long weekend, and that was not a pleasant time.  TJ brings up the Mtn Dew spreadsheet rankings for our perusal, and something weird is afoot in the Buffalo Wild Wings subreddit.  We will also educate you on "Pig Butchering" scams and how to avoid them.

TJ, Jon and Lauren travel to the great state of Missouri (Misery) to visit Spanky and sample the various mountain dews of the country.  We see sharks, get hopped up on donkey sauce, throw out our voices shouting at "Gambler" and lived to tell the tale.  There was truly too much Dew.
