Congrats to everyone at The Muppets and especially Matt Vogel on their Emmy nominations. The Television Academy officially says fuck the haters.

Tangentially related to Muppeturgy!

I talked to Mitch McConnell on the phone for 20 minutes today.

If you’re under 50 and want a sense of how big the Bicentennial was, have we got a podcast episode for you! www.muppeturgy.com/episodes/bic...

The soundtrack for today: youtu.be/izGcaSJMtqQ?...

NEW EPISODE! It’s America’s 250th birthday! We’d sing it a song (it took two people to write it!) but we’re…ambivalent at best. So instead we’re looking back 50 years to when patriotism felt less fraught, the centennial was bi, and the culture was mono. www.muppeturgy.com/episodes/bic...

You point out how odd it is that there's only one ad for Star Wars toys, but what strikes me as even stranger is how there's only one Christmas themed commercial. Nowadays a two hour special airing in mid November would be entirely M&Ms meeting Santa and Lexuses with giant red bows on top.

Fifty years ago, I was in Washington DC. The new National Air and Space Museum had its grand opening. Everyone seemed happy, and there was Bicentennial stuff EVERYWHERE. I liked that national birthday more.

For Frank Loesser’s birthday, here’s The Muppets interpolating his “Brotherhood of Man” into their take on 1776. (More on this soon.) youtu.be/aAVpj_Vo7zk?...

Tune in next time, when you'll hear Michal say, "We ain't organizing shit. You do it."

It’s also the birthday of composer Richard Rodgers! youtu.be/DDdiTWFmKB0?...

We’re also celebrating Gilda Radner’s birthday today! www.muppeturgy.com/episodes/gil...

Happy 100, Mel!

it wouldve been funny if goldfinger wasnt a movie and just a crazy song about a guy shirley bassey made up

Jim Henson didn’t perform The Rainbow Connection while inside a diving bell submerged in a tank so you could tell me that AI is “inevitable.”:

I feel pretty confident that this will appeal to a significant portion of our listenership.

So @muppeturgy.com did a whole episode about just the commercials that aired during the original broadcast of the Star Wars Holiday Special. It’s bringing me so much joy right now.

This could be our podcast motto.

Listening to it now. My uncle worked for Ford on the assembly line. and he was as happy as the people in the commercial. When it was time to retire at 55 he was happy.

New episode! We take a look at the Star Wars Holiday Special….’s commercials. www.muppeturgy.com/episodes/swh...

Tune in next time when you'll hear @itsdlevy.me say, "I went down a little pantyhose rabbit hole."

I'm sure this will be a short episode, he said. It's about 20 minutes of commercials, how much could we have to say, he said. He was wrong.

I have never had to edit out more "ums" from my own track on the podcast than when they made me talk about baseball in the upcoming episode. (-David)

and it’s still the word

i like that Paul Simon gets big cocky with his theory that there's 50 ways to leave your lover, and then when pressed for answers he's only got like six and one of them is just "get on the bus"

Share a TV show you love from the 1960’s. 📺

In our next episode, we have an entire conversation about Teddy Ruxpin without once uttering the phrase "can you and I be friends." I think that deserves some kind of prize.

rest in peace Gene Shalit, a friend to – and occasional member of – The Muppets
