If You're an Old Soul, please join us in: Remembering and honoring Tina Turner, reacting to the 2023 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductions, making fun of Danny's awkward interview with Oscar-winner Diane Keaton (Danny is begrudgingly playing the entire interview for everyone, which has not aired in-full yet), hearing Danny's tirade after his first time watching "Dirty Dancing," and enjoying an interview with legendary 1960s rockstar Tommy James about being signed to a label run by the mafia.

Ever since Danny saw the now-viral video of Peter Rugman (from the band, The Nonstick Pans) doing impersonations of a "John Lennon Christmas song vs. a Paul McCartney Christmas song," he knew this Brit was a fellow Old Soul. Millions of views and likes later, we welcome the actor, comedian and musician onto the podcast to explore a wide array of subjects, ranging from serious topics, like the historic paradox of musicians turning tragedy into their best work, to a goofy game we invented, called, "Do Brits love the British thing as much as Americans love the British thing?" We also discuss our favorite Beatles albums and stories, worst impressions of America, and then try to program ChatGPT to create parodies of songs by David Bowie and The Beatles.

Aaasdflaksjdfhaskdfjhasfasdfasdfs. Sorry, tried typing with hotdog fingers. Nearly a year after the first podcast episode about their love of "Everything Everywhere All At Once," Danny and Speedy take a victory lap on their favorite movie of the year sweeping the 2022 Academy Awards. Later in the podcast (29:39), Danny also remembers that he wanted to discuss how terrifying the score from "All Quiet on the Western Front" sounded every time the movie won an award. Oh, and they react to the podcast's biggest obsession, Nicole Kidman's AMC commercial, receiving a couple jabs in Jimmy Kimmel's monologue. In addition, Danny and Speedy revisit a favorite from Danny's childhood, "That Thing You Do!" After the movie's viral resurgence on Twitter these past few weeks, they discuss the 1996 movie about a mid-1960s band, The Wonders. The Oneders? The Oh-nee-ders.

Danny's frenemy and sports anchor Nick Rothschild joins the podcast to review Netflix's mega hit, "Wednesday."

Plus, they give their thoughts on the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominations, Smokey Robinson's spicy new album title (this part is a little adult), and read a ChatGPT parody of an old song.
