  "The dinosaur thing we talked about with Ron is a complete just con job. Okay, but complete dog and pony show."
  (01:00)

• They poke fun at Steven Spielberg’s supposed expertise:

  "The hell does Steven Spielberg know what a whatever resource Rex or whatever the hell it was. A resource Rex. You got it."
  (01:07, repeatedly referenced and riffed thereafter)

Morgan Freeman’s Age and Iconic Voice

• Greg Cody brings up the enduring quality of Morgan Freeman’s narration, contrasting it with his own aging voice:

  "Morgan Freeman is the voice of that. How old is Morgan Freeman? He’s clearly been doing a better job protecting his voice than the 71 year old Greg Cody."
  (01:23)

• The panel marvels at Freeman's age and enduring legacy:

  "88 years old." – Roy
  (01:50)

“Losing Our Recipes” Meme & Cultural Nostalgia

• The crew riffs on the meme about “losing our recipes,” mocking generational complaints about youth not knowing how to cook anymore:

  (02:12)

  "Nice."
  (02:19)

The Origins of “Sweet Sixteen”

  "The phrase Sweet Sixteen originated in the early 19th century to describe a girl’s characteristic age of innocence. It appeared in Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine in 1826. ... [It] was used by a Davenport, Iowa newspaper ... to describe a high school basketball tournament in 1936. It was not adopted into the NCAA tournament until the 1980s. How about that?"
  (02:51–03:36)

Questionable Lyrics in Classic Rock

• The roundtable dives into classic songs with problematic lyrics related to young women:

  • Discuss Jerry Lee Lewis, Kiss, The Police, and others.
  • Greg Cody highlights troubling song subjects:

    "Kiss has a song called simply Sixteen because it rhymes with Christine... There's all sorts of music these days that can and should be canceled because it was written during a different time."
    (03:36)

• Tony and Mike riff on infamous lyrics:

  "She's just 16 years old." – Tony (04:19)
  "Another one." – Mike (04:25)
  "She's just 17, you know what I mean?" – Greg Cody (referencing The Beatles) (04:25)

• Mike: "Don't stand so close to me by The Police." (05:22)

• Tony (sarcastically): "The police should be close to that person." (05:26)

Recurring Joke: "Resource Rex" and Dinosaur Flubs

• Multiple callbacks and running jokes about the misnaming of dinosaurs and Spielberg’s involvement (“Resource Rex” instead of “Tyrannosaurus Rex”), highlighting the panel’s playful tendency to pounce on verbal slip-ups for extended riffs.
• The group revels in each other's mistakes:

  "Miserable group of people all rooting for the others to fail." – Tony (06:04)

[Greg Cody]

to clean up a couple of things that we've been talking about over the course of the show today. Put it on the poll please. Ebitard show. Do you lick your finger when turning the pages of a magazine? Morgan Freeman, you guys mentioned him before as the voice of something. I don't know how old is Morgan Freeman? Because I just heard him as the voice of the dinosaur thing that what

[Mike]

do you dinosaur thing we talked about with Ron is a complete just con job. Okay, but complete dog and pony show.

[Greg Cody]

Netflix is doing something dinosaur related. They're lying to us that Steven Spielberg is involved in.

[Mike]

The hell does Steven Spielberg know what a whatever resource Rex or whatever the hell it was. A resource Rex. You got it.

[Tony]

You know what it is?

[Mike]

I didn't want to say Tyrannosaurus Rex, but I wanted to say something else like some other dinosaur years old that's 6. Actually 88. But with all that, how the hell did he know what their mating dances look like? Give me a break.

[Greg Cody]

Okay, you don't believe in that. But regardless, Morgan Freeman is the voice of that. How old is Morgan Freeman? He's clearly been doing a better job protecting his voice than the 71 year old Greg Cody. Morgan Freeman to me was delivered as a voice on March of the Penguins. That's the first time that I had sort of attached his voice to the idea of we're going to make something sound bigger. Attenborough does this very well as well. How old is Morgan Freeman?

[Roy]

88 years old.

[Greg Cody]

Wow. So he's protected his voice a lot better than Greg Cody has. I want to though do a couple of history items here. One involving giving Greg the history of what Mike is referencing when he says we're losing our recipes. Oh my God.

[Mike]

This is what's wrong with today.

[Greg Cody]

The young ladies today, they're not learning from mom how to cook with losing recipes.

[Roy]

Nice.

[Greg Cody]

That is nice. Thank you for that reaction with Warren Sapp. Now give me please, the back in my day music even though your father hasn't prepared a back in my day so I can go to him for some history on on the sweet 16. The phrase. You guys want to guess? I was not aware of the history of the phrase sweet 16. We are in the sweet 16. Do you guys know anything about the origins of this history? Any of you?

[Roy]

No.

[Greg Cody]

All right, so Greg, would you care to give us some of the history here of the phrase Sweet Sixteen?

[Roy]

The phrase Sweet Sixteen originated in the early 19th century to describe a girl's characteristic age of innocence. It appeared in Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine in 1826. It likely evolved from the earlier phrase Sweet 17 used around 1791 as a sporting term applied to basketball. Sweet 16 was used by a Davenport, Iowa newspaper. Go Newspapers. To describe a high school basketball tournament in 1936. It was not adopted into the NCAA tournament until the 1980s. How about that?

[Greg Cody]

He's really proud of himself on that. I was listening the other day. There's all sorts of questionable music that you. If you go back. It's not just that Jerry Lee Lewis was marrying a 13 year old. Kiss has a song called simply Sixteen because it rhymes with Christine. Kiss famously. Some of the worst lyrics writers in the history of writing love gun. 16 about gun was his dick. 16 about Christine is a song about a 16 year old girl. There's all sorts of music these days that can and should be canceled because it was written during a different time.

[Tony]

She's just 16 years old.

[Mike]

Hold up.

[Tony]

Wait a second.

[Mike]

That guy looks like hell, by the way.

[Tony]

Let's talk about this one.

[Mike]

Another one.

[Greg Cody]

She's just 17. You know what I mean?

[Tony]

I would like to know. Talk to me about it with this recorder on.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, there's a lot of that. Tony, how do you feel about. And I am waiting for us to be able to surgically cut up this sound so that we can make fun of Tony. Roy, why are you looking at Greg? Because you just heard the gulping sound that is right. Of the rest of his coffee as he punctuates this show. In typical Greg Cody fashion, if I may be accurate.

[Roy]

That was not the sound of me gulping. It was the sound of coffee cascading back down into the thermos.

[Mike]

Billy, put your finger in there.

[Narrator]

Really show us.

[Greg Cody]

Thank you.

[Tony]

Don't dig too deep into your musical heroes. It was a different time back then. Back when the Travelers would be much younger high school dropouts. I'm a big Bowie guy. I'm a big Prince guy. You're not gonna wanna look too deep into that if you feel a certain kind of way.

[Mike]

Don't stand so close to me by the police.

[Tony]

The police should be close to that person

[Greg Cody]

put it on the poll at Levitar's show. Should the police be close to that person? And also should Tony be arrested, prosecuted and arrested, your honor. Prosecuted and arrested for how he tried to say all of this.

[Mike]

The hell does Steven Spielberg know what a what a whatever resource, Rex. Or whatever the hell it was. A resource, Rex.

[Roy]

You got it?

[Mike]

I blanked on the name of dinosaurs.

[Tony]

Zaz is so happy when someone else does it.

[Mike]

The hell does Steven Spielberg know what a whatever resource, Rex. Or whatever the hell it was. A resource, Rex. You got it.

[Tony]

You know, Miserable group of people all rooting for the others to fail.

[Mike]

The hell does Steven Spielberg know what a whatever resource, Rex. Or whatever the hell it was. A resource, Rex. You got it.
