Welcome to Zach to the future. I'm your co-host, Dashel Driscoll, joined today by

Bayside's father of the year, Mark Paul Gosler. Hello, Mark Paul.

Hi, Dashel. Thank you. Thank you so much.

Yeah, you see, I'm working on the intro. Now it's kind of like a Simpsons chalkboard thing.

Like it's going to maybe change each week. I thought that could be fun. That's a fun territory.

Our audience loves fun. That's what I could decipher from the Twitter responses we get after each

episode. Yeah, they love fun and they love being correct. Two things that go hand in hand so often.

Today, Mark Paul, we'll be talking about the mamas and the poppers. I'm already know you did the

homework. You always do the homework. I have stopped asking. But we're talking about mamas and

poppers. Yes, I did do the homework. But mamas and the poppers, the title of the episode,

not the band from Los Angeles. Yes, that's correct. So the episode is titled mamas and the poppers

named, of course, for the mamas and the poppers. A group from the 1960s responsible for the

counter-culture anthem, California Dreaming. California Dreams, by the way, would be the name of Peter

Engle's next show. I was going to bring that up, but you stole my thunder. Not only did I steal it,

I just, I actually like, I woke up in a fever realizing I had not addressed that in my notes.

And the last thing I did right before we started was say, Oh, God, I need to, I need to say where

this title came from and how it directly relates to Peter Engle. So yeah, I look great minds

think alike, but maybe, maybe ours due to, you know, maybe ours due to. Yeah, it's funny,

because I was wondering why my Wikipedia page was slowing down is because you and I were fighting

over the, over the bandwidth. Yeah, we were the only, only people accessing the mamas and the

poppers page on a Sunday morning. Although, maybe not, maybe other people were California Dreaming too.

I didn't realize it, but Cass Elliott that she was the other singer in the quartet. Yes, Mama Cass.
