#72 "Super Flush" -- The Grizzly Bear Egg Cafe with Clayton Morris and Mike Quackenbush
Mar 6, 2010 Share This 
Clayton is officially jet lagged and exhausted from his trip to Germany in this episode of the Grizzly Bear Egg Cafe. Mike offers up some travel tips to weary travelers, tips no one should follow. For instance: Travel to Europe, land, go right to a wrestling ring, and wrestle. The guys also recount some of their favorite memories from the 1960's Batman television show. All that and a Super Flushing toilet in this episode of The Grizz.

Hey there, guys--great show!
It was awesome to hear the late, great, obscenely-expensive "The Flash" referenced! I remember being blown away by the show growing up; but I don't think I was aware of that "obscenely-expensive" aspect until Mike mentioned it.
I don't know if CBS would be game to green-light a long-overdue "Speed-Ball" adaptation? That is, if they're still into fast movements and network-bankrupting budgets.
And the bit about Batman as the backdrop for Quackenbush's nightmares was hilarious! My dream-scape also suffers from shoe-string production values, although I think that's due to terrible two-bit (six short of the requisite 8-bit) Nintendo game adaptations of Marvel comic books.
That's not to mention Spider Man appearances on The Electric Company, in which Web-Head would toss what looked like hastily- crocheted shawls over the enemies of Public Broadcasting.
I was wondering if the alien-invasion-themed show Mr. Morris was thinking of was called (creatively enough) "Invasion"? It centered around the semi-Body Snatcher-rific "re-population" of a small town, and received the mighty "Lost" lead-in for the one season it was on.
Cast members alternately felt drawn--or were lured--to the river/lake where the aliens had landed (and "replaced" the townspeople); it could be intriguing, engrossing stuff, as the "Pod People" were bewildered by their own hybrid identities, and weren't entirely unsympathetic characters.
It was an all-too-rare William Fichtner vehicle, and also featured a nice performance by an actress named Kari Matchett--even if her name makes her sound like she might be embarking on a Molly Hatchett Cover Band.
I was also just about to suggest a brand new finishing move for Quackenbush: it would involve approx. five back-flips (give or take), followed by a closed fist to John Cena's face, and would be entitled "Five Knuckle Thrombosis." Sadly, that tyke from the Reading Public Library basically beat me to the punch.
I'm already a fairly rabid Chikara fan, but am only now catching on to all things Ursine and Embryonic. Thanks for reading this, and keep up the great work!

P.S.: I did want to quickly testify to the friendliness of two pitbulls/pitbull mixes I've recently shaken paws with. Of course, the often-absentee owners of one of these dogs were brilliant enough to name the absolutely sweet pup "Killer"-- which may in fact fast-track them to Idiot Test Failure.
Here's a link to some pit-bull breed background, which I'm only just now reading myself:

Clayton,
Just to clarify on the 'improper URL' I wrote about in the last shows comments.
When I go to post on your site you have 4 boxes to fill out to Post a New Comment.
1. Author
2. Autor Email (optional)
3. Author URL (optional) <----------------- this is what I have trouble with.
4. Post.
So if you say it doesn't take an URL because it will more often than not be people trying to add spam, then why have it listed at all? I put my website in there due to having even more searchable links for my website / business out there, which is one of the things I thought you do to promote. Though I do it with an actual comment related to what was talked about. Seeing as you have your podcast "Today In Social Media" I would think you most of all would understand such a thing.
That you keep the the 'Author URL' box is just confusing since you don't support it. So please consider deleting that part or let me know that you didn't understand what I meant in the first place and it is indeed a coding problem.
Thanks in advance.

Love your show!
Just wanted to add my comments about pit bulls. My family and friends have rescued a number of pit bulls (a.k.a. bull terriers) and they are the sweetest dogs in the world! Unfortunately, it is the fault of the owners when a pit bull becomes dangerous usually. Yes, they can be dangerous due to their genetic makeup (strong jaws, etc.), but it is up to a responsible owner to care for them in such a way that they never become dangerous, as with any other type of dog. Sadly, we seem to only hear the horror stories about this misunderstood breed. They are wonderful companion animals.
I don't like to nitpick you guys, but Brian Regan's joke went like this:
Brian's son: "Why can't dinosaurs talk?"
Brian: "I don't know, why can't dinosaurs talk?"
Brian's son: "Because they're all dead."
I would be REALLY NICE if the <img tag were supported in comments. (hint hint :-))
Perfect post, I like to write opinions because the device permits web owners to remain more engaged and towards the possibility to know from each other.
