- I mentioned the Windows 3.1 Logo.
- At one point, I said that I will “burn that bridge when I get to it.” That is a mix of two idioms in English: “Burn your bridges” and “Cross that bridge when we get to it.“
- While talking about kids not listening to their parents, I mentioned the Circle of Life from the Lion King.
- I mentioned that Netherrack has the same consistency as a Twinkie.
- When I mentioned, “Lions, Tigers, and Bears”, I was referring to this.
- If you were curious about my quote from Westley in the Princess Bride, here it is.
- And the bit about Young Frankenstein can be found here.
- In showing my age, I reminisced about the old Doritos commercial, where they encouraged you to eat all the Doritos and not to worry as they would just make more.
- I also talked about Honeycomb commercials and local commercials like those I saw of Cal Worthington back in the Los Angeles area way back when.
- “When will then be now” comes from this.
- I mentioned Anakin Skywalker surviving his brush with lava… barely.
- Shortly after that, I mentioned my time in Jackson, Wyoming and the number of tourist accidents in Yellowstone National Park.
- As I passed the zombified piglins, I told them, “as you were” which is a military expression.
- Shortly after that, I mentioned the iris device they use on Stargate SG-1.
- Later on, I used the English idiom, “the world is my oyster“.
- The reference for “today’s episode is brought to you by the number 10 and the letter K” can be found here.
- “Let me show you something” is the catchphrase of Fire Marshall Bill from In Living Color.
Ever since I watched The Sting as a child, I have loved Ragtime music. However, I am not a musician, composer, or even a particularly knowledgeable fan of music. I enjoy what I enjoy and that includes many different genres of music. However, Ragtime is the soundtrack for the era I am simulating and this may the first time that modern listeners may be exposed to it. So I am including some general Ragtime links and whatever information I can find on the particular tracks I used in this episode.
