Not that long ago... in this exact galaxy... Aqua Teen art director Bob Pettitt and I talked about the best Star Wars parody of all time! Bob is back on the show to talk about his kidney-hurting Pawn Shop background, side-stepping legal loopholes with mustaches, and Bob's least favorite thing he had to draw for Aqua Teen Hunger Force.R E F E R E N C E S• Aqua Teen Xmas Fan Animation: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DSrFYdsjKcz/• Rabbot Rebuilt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gx4sQBySJNE• Aqua Teen artist Todd Redner on Meat Kingdom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yplpqIYP_Gc• Black Dahlia Murder drummer Alan Cassidy on Meat Kingdom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEi-1D5kP8QG U E S T🎨Bob Pettitt - ATHF Art Director, Backgrounds, Props• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pettitt_art/• Twitter: https://x.com/pettitt_artH O S T🎙️Ronnie Neeley• Instagram: @ronnievneeley• Ronnie & Matt Maiellaro's Cartoon, Those Cats: https://www.thosecats.org/• Ronnie's King of the Hill Podcast, Yep: yeppodcast.com• Meat Kingdom: meatkingdom.net⭐ Support the Show & Get Bonus Episodes: dancingisforbidden.com/support/🛒 Aqua Teen on Amazon (Affiliate Links - Take Money From Jeff Bezos & Give It To ME!):• Aqua Teen Forever: Plantasm (4K): https://amzn.to/3Svy2ea• Aqua Teen Forever: Plantasm (Blu-ray): https://amzn.to/3dLcKKS• Aqua Teen Forever: Plantasm (Digital): https://amzn.to/3t8cqtv• Baffler Meal 20-Disc DVD Box Set: https://amzn.to/3fmznWf🌐 Website: dancingisforbidden.com📞 Leave a voice message: dancingisforbidden.com/voicemail/💬 Supporter Only Discord: discord.gg/MNCJthhaEE📸 Instagram:@AquaTeenPod📧 Email: [email protected]📺 Video YouTube Channel: youtube.com/@dancingisforbidden🎧 Audio YouTube Channel: youtube.com/@AquaTeenPod🎮 Twitch: twitch.tv/ronnieneeley

If I had a time machine, I'd go right back to the start of this recording session just to experience it again. Joining us is "Time Machine" editor Dave Hughes, one of the last remaining original employees at Adult Swim. When he isn't curating Adult Swim Smalls, producing the instant classic Haha, You Clowns, or running the long-standing Off the Air, Dave is building a legendary resume that includes Beavis and Butt-Head, Celebrity Deathmatch, and Space Ghost Coast to Coast. I bet if he had a time machine, he'd go back and do something like invest in Apple in the 90's. But not me, man. Not me. Dave also gave me a rough cut of "Time Machine", which I then blab to you about. Other topics discussed include the limited - yet impactful - vocabulary of calculators, the forgotten history of MTV's groundbreaking animation, and why Bret Michaels is gonna sue my ass back to the stone ages.

Today on the podcast we're joined by four certified* Aqua Teen legends: Matt Maiellaro, Dana Snyder, Jay Wade Edwards, and John Brestan. Without these guys, Aqua Teen would suck ass - and this podcast episode would be a lot lonelier. In this buffet of an episode, we're talking about the dead tech that Aqua Teen was founded on, adult swim pilots that never got finished, standards and practices being angry about Spacecataz, and why none of us are opening up Al Roker's cookbook. I mean, come on. How good could it be? Anyways, make like Jeff Goldblum and get as close as possible to being a fly on the wall at adult swim.*Legend status certified by the Dancing Is Forbidden Committee in Aqua Teen Excellence and Legacy FoundationR E F E R E N C E S• Stomp!

Touch your base with Ronnie's as he gives you fast and hard updates about the next month of the podcast.If you're one of them reader-types, here's the gist of it: Time Machine episode postponed to the first Monday of February, a mishmash hangout episode with Dana Snyder & Matt Maiellaro & Jay Edwards & John Brestan will go up in its place. I'm also working on an episode commemorating Aqua Teen's 25 year anniversary which will hopefully be up at some point in January.

Don't try and get any sort of nest egg going, because all it'll do is get your teeth knocked out. That's the lesson I've learned from this episode. Aqua Teen art director and character designer Todd Redner joins the show to give us invaluable information behind the creation of Creature from Plaque Lagoon — he'll trade one fact for every tooth you'll offer him. We're talkin' Tooth Fairy lore, Todd seeing his 2D characters in 3D on Zombie Ninja Pro-Am, and making Wongburger — oops, sorry; Chatterman — in his new tooth form. Other topics discussed include how real life doesn't always look real in art, corporations only wanting to make cartoons for as cheap as possible, and getting in trouble with your mom for posting cartoon wieners on your blog. I also think I figured out who is actually voicing Wongburger, but.... I just don't know anymore, man.

Master Shake's got himself a chick magnet... but it doesn't work the way he expected. Like, in a big way. Voice of Master Shake, Dana Snyder, joins the podcast to talk about this great Season 6 episode! Dana is weighing in on why Shake is such a popular character, whether or not he was nervous to voice Shake for the very first time, and Dana gives Shake some advice on how to actually get chicks. Other topics discussed include Dana's craftiness, what ever happened to Matt Maiellaro's daughter, and adult swim banners fit for a king's castle. Dana also has an exciting announcement for Dancing Is Forbidden!

She Creature reminds us of life's greatest truths: never clean your pool, never cross the mob, and definitely don't go messing around with no mermaids. Adult Swim legends John Brestan & Lear Bunda - the original spec writers behind this episode - join the pod to wade through Aqua Teen's most pool-centric adventure yet. Writing bumps, thrown scripts, pool-turned-hot-tub-guy-dads, caught wangers, mispronouncing conch all your life — this one is fun for the whole family! ...assuming your family is millions of mermaid eggs.

Shake Like Me was banned from DVD and TV, but not from the Dancing Is Forbidden podcast... but maybe it should have been. Ronnie attempts to cover the notorious episode, and it goes exactly as well as you’d expect. Craigslist guests derail the show, a Kentucky mayoral candidate demands beer money, British “musicians” try to take over the show, and somewhere in there we actually talk about Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Maybe.
