Ribbon Candy and Revenge Oscars: An RGF Simulcast

Hey The Holiday Specials We Love fans, we are simulcasting a little RGF from the Heal Squad — We go deep into Mary Poppins lore — Walt waiting for Julie Andrews, the Oscar revenge arc, and why sometimes patience (and instinct) beats studio executives. We detour through Chuck Barris buying a bar out of spite, the slow demise of the newspaper comics page, we talk reality TV ethics sparked by America's Next Top Model. We talk snowstorms, Netflix deep dives, kid influencers, and the fine line between tough love and cultural time travel. Then — as always — we land whereit matters most: candy. Bazooka vs. Double Bubble. Wintergreen supremacy. Canada Mints making a comeback. Jordan almonds as decorative betrayal. And a butterscotch sundae so transcendent it nearly required a moment of silence. Cherry Red Boy, the ribbon candy conversation continues. As always, text your thoughts (Bazooka or Double Bubble?) to 351-251-2511, and don’t forget to leave us a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts. We'll Talk Shawtly!
