About this episode
🦖 Get your frying pan ready and join us on a journey to what feels like 60 million years ago back to 1991 to observe the most wonderful time of the year for the Jim Henson Company’s Dinosaurs , which by some Fridge Day miracle is the Advent Calendar House’s first TGIF episode. **** 🎙 Guest: Lindy Kempe ( @ieatvideogames ). **** 💬 Topics & Tangents: 1. The Dinosaurs parody on The Simpsons . 2. We go from talking about the Økėÿ Døkęÿ Køøkïñ segment of Muppets Now to Netflix’s Nailed It! 3. Sally Struthers (Charlene) for International Correspondence School . 4. A brief history of the Christmas bonus, or “ thirteenth salary .” 5.

Pons Maar (Roy’s body actor) as the original voice of The Noid . 7. Unisaurs : The Dinosaurs equivalent to the Anything Muppet. 8. The biggest gifts we ended up returning. **** 📼 Retro Commercial Break: Talking Baby Dinosaur and Dinosaurs Figures , 1991. **** 🎤 And Now, These Messages: TGI Podcast . “Dinosaurs” and “Refrigerator Day” © 1991 The Walt Disney Company.
