Additional Annotations
- The stuff about Immanuel Kant is real. It’s true that he never left Königsberg.
- Alex referenced the Poseidon Adventure, a film they haven’t seen in about 15 years, on the most recent Radio Gundam too. Weird
- Speaking of references, they also brought up smelling too many hams. Again, not sure why
- We didn’t cut that out.
- It’s beavers that build dams, not otters
- Interestingly, the time it took to deal with the spider was the exact length of the first two verses of the 1967 Spider-man theme. Spooky!
- I think Alex got the order wrong on the Ancient Booer’s lines, but hey
- Use the mushroom, it’s that easy. We reference this a lot considering it’s a bit of a minor one from Snapcube, but sometimes a phrase just sticks in your mind forever. You know how it is.
- Maybe Tomorrow is a 2003 song by Stereophonics, from their album You Gotta Go There to Come Back. It doesn’t mention slime, I’m afraid.
- ‘I tell everyone I did it but I actually hired students,’ is a reference to one of the featured stories in Maggie Mae Fish’s Down the Off-Grid Rabbithole video. It’s a good watch!
- Sami got in an OtGW reference with ‘I’m the hermit man‘. Nice.
- She also got in a bit of The Beautiful Briny Sea, from Bedknobs & Broomsticks!
- ‘I live, I die, I live again’
- I don’t think we actually did an ‘Ooze on First‘ bit for the next episode, actually. Shame. ‘Ooze on first, slime’s on second, jelly’s on third’, that kind of thing. Real shame.
- The Ooze punching up out of the ground is just like what happened in that one Gorillaz video
- ‘Slime orb, orb of slime!’ was to the tune of an old Barbie advert. I cannot fucking find it
- ‘I’m going into battle.’ You know.
- You’re Not Alone is a 1997 banger by Olive, from her album Extra Virgin
wait it’s really called that? - Hold me closer, Tony Danza is a 1971 song by Elton Jim, from his album Strange Bloke Across the Liquid.
- Reckoner is a 2007 song by Radiohead, from their album In Rainbows.
- Here is the tweet. Turns out it’s Seth Everman? Huh.
- The bit about the Ooze Template and ‘Section Points’ was another typo; it should of course have been ‘Action Points’. We at Roll History are very sorry for this error. It will happen again.
- Dog Daisies might have been Shasta Daisies or Ox-eye Daisies? There used to be a load of massive ones that grew near Alex’s Grandma’s house. They smelled like dog poo, hence the name.
- Turns out they don’t even make White Lightning anymore! What the fuck! I mean, good, but also what the fuck!
- Hold Me is a 2013 song by Tom Odell, from his album Long Way Down.
- Breakeven is a song by The Script, from some year probably. I’m tired of doing song citations
- This Love is Maroon 5. For fuck’s sake. I swear they’re doing this on purpose.
- Virtual Insanity is a song, so is Chocolate Rain. We’re done here
Thanks for listening!
