Melissa Joan Hart and Hansen and Puffy Daddy exist. Robert's friend Mike stiffs Robert like a capitalist pig and then fornicates with the Robert's ex. Robert lives in a trailer and pees all over the ground and poops in the big main house. Tom Cruise never eats a donut. Julia Roberts has that special smile. Cameron Diaz sucks at karaoke. Durmott McDumbDumb portrays the most boring jerk you've ever met. My Best Friends wedding is the whitest movie ever. Joe's dad is a uniquely creative dude. Hey, are you still reading this? If so, quit it. Click play already, you silly goose.
Booyah is a Synopsish show. Here’s the thing I say about that: Hi, I’m Rob. With my friends and family, I celebrate pop culture, creativity, and possibility in podcasts and blog posts at synopsish.com. We have things about movies, sports, TV, trivia, music, and so on. Hope you’ll take a look. That’s also where you can contact us to suggest a show or tell a story about your life in the 90s.
Thanks for listening. Take care.
