Summary

Y.M.C.A....an absolutely loony song. Yet also a generational anthem. And also, a red herring, because this episode is not actually about Y.M.C.A. This episode is actually about a shocking reveal that will change the future of this podcast and possibly the world. Goodbye, for now.

0:00.0	This is a head gamma region.
0:06.4	Evan, it's a brother's only episode. So I think we should jump right into it with the corrections.
0:15.0	Oh, I always forget we have a theme song.
0:19.6	It's sad that we went what 40 45 episodes without I think that's only the third time I've heard that
0:25.4	theme song. Criminal, all the corrections we did, all of the brothers, apps only corrections we've done.
0:32.6	And the corrections for this week we have a couple.
0:37.2	One is a couple weeks ago we did an episode with Pat Castles. We were talking about
0:43.8	along December. Mm-hmm. We were talking about it's a lot of oysters and no pearls. Yes, we were talking about how
0:51.8	as a youth I I associated eating oysters with grossness and decadence in large part because of the 1990 film
1:02.8	Dick Tracy directed by Warren Beatty right because there's because big boy I said played by Al Pacino
1:09.7	was swerping those oysters and he's the main villain. He's the main villain. The main cartoonist villain in the
1:14.7	oysters and it's like this is a guy who has no moral code. He likes to go to fancy restaurants and spend too much money. He
1:22.1	kills people and the oysters are a strong signifier that he is a hedonist, essentialist that we are meant to
1:28.9	despise. He's also gross. He's not also not thinking the feelings of people around him making
1:33.8	that noise while he's slurping oysters. And just for fun, I went back to watch the clip. It's not
1:39.6	Al Pacino aka big boy swerping the oysters. I know. Oh massive correction. A huge
1:46.8	detachment. You bear in staying bare as yourself. It's Paul Servino, the actor Paul Servino.
1:52.3	Who if you, I don't know if you rewatch Dick Tracy recently. Never. For some reason I probably will never
1:57.8	rewatch it. It sucks. At the beginning of the movie, he's like the top dog in whatever city Dick
2:03.2	Tracy lives in. Maybe it's New York, maybe it's a fictional city. Can't remember. He's the top dog
2:07.3	slurping oysters. What's his name, the bad guy? Lips manless. Oh, and what that's extremely
2:14.7	slurpy. Of course he's slurping. Yeah, he has the big lips. So he's slurping the oysters and then
