We explore the “films” and the years in which they were released. If you have a chance to watch the movie prior to listening, all the better.

    Hot Frosty

    You might see the title for this episode and think to yourself: “are they really so negligent in their release schedule that they are putting out their Christmas episode in March?” To which I, Dan, say to you: no that’s ridiculous, we recorded this one in February. I’d say this isn’t going to become a trend but it has clearly become one. We watched Hot Frosty as the last of our Dealer’s Choice movies for the year and it was surprising in a lot of ways that we found surprising in its surprisingness. Does that mean it’s good? Clearly you have not listened to our show if you think that is the case. Join me (your tardy-ass editor), Audrey, and Jimmy as we talk about how this movie would been other different circumstances, the density of snow in relationship to flesh, the secret source of the Hulk’s anger, and man-shaped holes in what is possibly the dirtiest episode of our awful podcast to date. But just like that dirty, disgusting street snow it is still fun for the whole family. Special thanks to Asher’s dad’s band, Liquid Horizon, for debuting their music on our podcast.

    Be Somebody

    Episode Description by ChatGP-T (a.k.a. Mr. T) “Hey, you! Yeah, YOU, fool! Stop scrolling and start listening, ‘cause the Supreme Podcasting Champs are back with an episode that’s stronger than a chain of gold and sharper than Mr. T’s barber!” This week, the Scraping the Vault crew dives headfirst into Be Somebody… or Be Somebody’s Fool!—the iconic 1984 motivational masterpiece from none other than me, Mr. T! And let me tell ya, these fools learned some real lessons this time. Here’s what went down: They learned how to spell Mother (hint: it’s all about love and respect, fool!). They discovered that anger ain’t bad if you can “use it, don’t lose it.” (Just like my patience with them—barely hangin’ on!) And the best way to eat potato salad? Straight off the fingers of Mr. T himself! Yeah, you heard that right. It’s delicious, nutritious, and a privilege, fool! But that’s not all. The hosts ask the big questions: Is Mr. T’s cello playing the greatest metaphor for perseverance ever put on VHS? (Spoiler: Yes, it is!) Can breakdancing truly heal a nation? (Only if you’re spinning with the heart of a champion!) Why would Calvin Klein and Gloria Vanderbilt want your name on their jeans? (They wouldn’t, fool, so don’t wear theirs!) So, grab a bowl of respect, sprinkle on some self-worth, and tune in as these podcasting maniacs unravel my wisdom one absurd segment at a time. But don’t get it twisted: if you ain’t laughing AND learning, then you better rewind, fool, because the only thing worse than missing this episode is disrespecting your mother. “Scraping the Vault—where fools become champions, one ridiculous episode at a time.” Now quit wasting time! Download it, stream it, or I pity you for missin’ out! Peace, respect, and potato salad.
