What's poppin' everybody? Hello and welcome to Popcorn Culture. My name is Ben Carlin and I am your host.

Here with me today is my brother Jay, who will be in every episode.

Yeah, I will, I'll be here. I'm not going anywhere man. I'm going to be in these episodes forever.

Jay, I just got to say you've been one truly splendid guest for this whole year.

This whole year. It's been great having you. I know it's time out of your busy schedule.

Yeah. And I just thanks for stopping in. Yeah, you're welcome. You're welcome. It was pretty far out of my commute.

So the last week of the year for Super Carlin Brothers, we have the entire week off.

Yep. Which means that we don't have an episode of the pop this week, but we do have something special instead.

Yeah, so instead of having a traditional episode of Popcorn Culture today, we have put together our top 13 favorite pop conversations from throughout all of 2021.

These were rather pop-yular segments. Yes, wow. We did work in a corny joke, right? Even though in our limited time.

I know, I know. Hit that bingo board. We got it. That's right. All right. What else? Jay worked. I remember the concert venue.

I worked at Carp Girl. Oh my gosh. And then Luke did a thing. He's got a fever. Wow. Oh man.

Diablo two. Diablo two. Fred the cup. Fred the cup. What else do we have this year?

Did you know that our dad is a newscaster? How about this? Did you know that I got married at Disney World?

I did know that you got married at Disney World. That was really impressive.

It's good stuff. One last thing. Yeah. The GMA. The GMA, the Green Mallard Association. Wow. The stories we've told.

It's funny to me that if it's like the bingo boards have basically provided us with a strange way to distill out like a word cloud from the year.

Yeah, right. It's sort of like, it's like we talk about these things so often that it's like we know these are like the running.

I would love if someone has, you know, in their spare time compiled the full closed captioning for the years worth

of pop-court culture. If we could load all of that into a word cloud and see what it looks like, that'd be amazing.

It would be so fascinating. That would be very fascinating. I'm sure the word like would be in there a lot.

And I bet pop pop would be in there a lot. That'd be a good one. It's at least in every episode. Yeah.
