LEE NEWTON: Huzzah!
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: Huzzah?
That's like Renaissance Faire.
LEE NEWTON: Huzzah!
Would you turkey leg it?
I didn't turkey leg it.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: Oh , I always turkey leg it.
LEE NEWTON: You always-- it?
I miss turkey.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: Do you turkey leg it?
MEG TURNEY: Uh uh.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: Hey, guys!
Welcome to TableTalk!
I'm Trisha Hershberger.
MEG TURNEY: I'm Meg Turney.
LEE NEWTON: I'm Lee Newton.
We were referencing Renaissance Faire meat.
Society
MEG TURNEY: Just any meat.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: Which is not something
that someone put in the bowl via #TableTalk or subreddit
r/sourcefed, but you could.
LEE NEWTON: Yeah.
MEG TURNEY: You could.
LEE NEWTON: Favorite Renaissance meat.
MEG TURNEY: All right, @jcoffee64
says, if you were a Transformer, what would you transform into?
Car, jet, animal, et cetera.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: Oh.
LEE NEWTON: I mean, I know myself,
and I'd probably be a couch.
MEG TURNEY: Oh.
LEE NEWTON: You know, I'm lazy.
I'm not going anywhere.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: Did you always
want to be Chairy from Pee-Wee's Playhouse?
LEE NEWTON: Oh, Chairy!
I miss Pee-Wee's Playhouse.
It was a little creepy and perverse, but no more
than anything else is nowadays, right?
MEG TURNEY: True.
Very True.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: Well, when you go back and look
at half the stuff that we watched, it's real creepy.
MEG TURNEY: I know.
Rocco's Modern Life is so creepy.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: David the Gnome
is the creepiest of all the creepy.
MEG TURNEY: Aw, I love that show.
LEE NEWTON: I did, too!
MEG TURNEY: But it was creepy.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: He, like, gets naked to ride on animals.
It's weird.
LEE NEWTON: The one that still holds up is Fraggle Rock.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: Yeah.
LEE NEWTON: Hard.
MEG TURNEY: But they still make Fraggle Rock.
They make it now.
LEE NEWTON: Do they really?
MEG TURNEY: Yeah!
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: I love Fraggle Rock.
LEE NEWTON: What?
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: That was my phone ring tone
like all last year.
[SINGING FRAGGLE ROCK THEME SONG]
MEG TURNEY: Oh man.
Remember Eureka's Castle?
That was a great-- oh, we're going Fraggles.
LEE NEWTON: Eureka's Castle?
MEG TURNEY: Eureka's Castle was good!
LEE NEWTON: I didn't ever see it.
MEG TURNEY: What?
With Batley?
Oh my god.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: Yeah.
MEG TURNEY: And Magellan, the dragon.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: Yeah, Magellan.
LEE NEWTON: Oh, wait.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: You know the show.
Think, it's puppets.
LEE NEWTON: I think it was younger.
No, it was younger.
Because I remember I'd catch onto it.
And they had like a weird blown-out background, right?
It was just like [TRILLS].
MEG TURNEY: It was painted.
LEE NEWTON: Yeah.
MEG TURNEY: It was all painted.
LEE NEWTON: But it was really bright.
And it was-- I don't know.
I remember just catching the tail-end of it.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: The Elephant Show.
MEG TURNEY: It might have been right after--
LEE NEWTON: It was like a little bit after my time,
but I still caught it when it wasn't taboo to watch cartoons.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: Wasn't The Elephant Show
on right after Eureka's Castle?
MEG TURNEY: The skinamarinkidinkidink?
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: Yeah!
[SINGING THE ELEPHANT SHOW THEME SONG]
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: I loved that show.
MEG TURNEY: My mom and I still sing that song.
LEE NEWTON: I would watch that in a heartbeat.
Does anyone have a kid I could borrow?
Because that's the only way.
MEG TURNEY: I don't need a kid to watch that show.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: I ask that question every day.
MEG TURNEY: You don't need a kid to watch the show.
Skinamarinkidinkidink, go, Trisha.
LEE NEWTON: Skinamarinkidoo.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: Oh, we gotta answer Transformers.
What would you transform into?
MEG TURNEY: Oh.
LEE NEWTON: Lazy couch!
I'm a couch!
MEG TURNEY: Can I transform into a Gundam?
Because I'd just like go from one giant robot
into another giant robot.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: Speaking of that, show off your mug!
MEG TURNEY: Oh yeah!
Look, check out my new Gundam mug, you guys!
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: Pretty cool.
LEE NEWTON: Gundam mug!
MEG TURNEY: This super sweet guy named Frank Ware sent it in.
All the way from Japan, from Akihabara.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: Yay!
MEG TURNEY: And that's why it's so small.
Because it's from Japan.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: They drink less than we
large American people do.
LEE NEWTON: It really is.
It could fit inside him.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: And I have a small mug today,
I would consider, and it's still much larger.
LEE NEWTON: I feel great in it, though.
I feel normal.
MEG TURNEY: Yeah, you feel like a regular human being in it.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: Because we're all tiny people.
It's a tiny mug for tiny people.
MEG TURNEY: What would you transform into?
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: I mean, they said jet, car, or anything.
MEG TURNEY: Animal.
LEE NEWTON: Did they give you options?
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: I wouldn't transform into an animal.
LEE NEWTON: No.
Why would you?
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: No.
MEG TURNEY: Yeah, you hate animals!
LEE NEWTON: You want the power of speech.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: A jet is way cooler.
I think probably a jet.
Because then I could fly.
I could get places really fast.
I could shoot stuff with like huge explosives.
MEG TURNEY: Can I transform into Wonder Woman's jet?
LEE NEWTON: Become invisible? [LAUGHING]
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: That's cool, too.
LEE NEWTON: You guys still depend on fuel.
I'm just letting you know.
Couch?
Comfy.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: What if I'm a solar-powered jet?
MEG TURNEY: You can't go anywhere!
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: Solar powered!
I mean, I can't fly in the rain, but--
MEG TURNEY: You would store the energy.
LEE NEWTON: And there would come a cloud burst,
and you're ***.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: And you're like, oh ***!
MEG TURNEY: That's not how solar power works, Trisha Hershturd.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: I know, trust me, yes.
It charges the lithium ion battery,
which then lasts through-- I understand.
LEE NEWTON: No, I really want to see Trisha
do a keynote on solar power and just be like--
MEG TURNEY: If it's brainy, it doesn't work.
LEE NEWTON: Solar power.
MEG TURNEY: It doesn't work.
LEE NEWTON: The sun.
We all love it.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: How about I just build the jet out of wax?
LEE NEWTON: Perfect.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: So as long as I
don't fly too close to the sun.
Yeah, you're Icarus.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: Exactly.
I've learned that lesson.
That's fine.
All right, here we go.
MEG TURNEY: You've learned it like you
had your wax wings melted.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: I did, I did And it was a long fall.
[LAUGHING]
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: Henry @imabeliever513
says '90s rap #TableTalk.
MEG TURNEY: Oh my God, yes!
I listened to Tupac this morning.
LEE NEWTON: This morning!
MEG TURNEY: How do you want it?
LEE NEWTON: He's still alive, everybody.
He's still alive.
I was actually saying earlier that Sir Mix-A-Lot probably
did the most for body female issues out of any rapper
out there.
MEG TURNEY: Can you name one other Sir Mix-A-Lot song?
LEE NEWTON: No!
I don't think I need to.
I don't think I need to.
Because, again, I would say--
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: That's the song you're referring to.
LEE NEWTON: Yeah.
MEG TURNEY: Yeah, I'm just saying.
LEE NEWTON: Honestly, as a young girl, 36-24-36, yeah,
if you're 5'3".
I think that's hilarious.
MEG TURNEY: Yeah.
LEE NEWTON: I was like, thanks.
Like, thank you, Sir Mix-A-Lot.
Thanks a lot, because (WHINING) thanks.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: And I gotta say, what is it?
36-24-36 if you're 5'3"?
Whoa.
I can't even imagine what that would like, for real.
MEG TURNEY: Here's the thing.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: Because you'd probably
die if those were your measurements.
MEG TURNEY: Yeah.
LEE NEWTON: Your organs.
Your poor, precious--
MEG TURNEY: It just made me realize how pear-shaped I was.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: Oh, yeah.
MEG TURNEY: Because it's like, I had 36 on the bottom,
but not up top.
LEE NEWTON: No, but he did a great job.
Thank you, feminist Sir Mix-A-Lot.
MEG TURNEY: What about other '90s rap?
Anyone else?
You don't really like rap.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: Yeah, I never got into rap music
because I couldn't understand it.
LEE NEWTON: I thought you were going
to say your parents wouldn't have.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: If I can't understand it--
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: Especially '90s rap.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: OK, give me some examples of '90s rap then.
Help me out here.
MEG TURNEY: Tupac was a fantastic example of '90s rap.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: What did Tupac do?
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
MEG TURNEY: Look at my eyes right now.
I will take you in my car and we will have a session.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: I don't want this session.
LEE NEWTON (SINGING): California love.
MEG TURNEY: That's him and Dr. Dre.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: The only lyrics
I really understood in that song were "California Love."
MEG TURNEY: Yes, you can understand it!
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: I have a problem in my brain, I think.
LEE NEWTON: Poor Trisha.
I'm sorry, I don't Speak Spanish.
MEG TURNEY: Yeah!
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: That's honestly how I feel.
MEG TURNEY: No hablo rap game.
I don't get that.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: That's how I feel!
LEE NEWTON: That's OK.
MEG TURNEY: Remember when we did the political commercial where
we pretended to be white ladies?
That's Trisha.
She's like, I don't know what this is.
LEE NEWTON: I'm sorry.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: I grew up in farmland, Pennsylvania.
We don't have exciting, hip things there.
I can Texas two step better than most of y'all out there.
MEG TURNEY: Oh my god, really?
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: Yes!
MEG TURNEY: Because I can, too!
MEG TURNEY: Let's do it.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: See, that's what I'm saying.
I'm open to it, though, so teach me
in your '90s rap ways, ladies.
MEG TURNEY: We'll teach you.
LEE NEWTON: I'm OK with not tea-- you're not missing out.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: You think I am missing out.
MEG TURNEY: But I love '90s music, like Ace of Bass.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
MEG TURNEY: Real McCoy.
LEE NEWTON: That was my first CD and I wore that out.
MEG TURNEY: K-Ci and Jojo.
LEE NEWTON (SINGING): All my life.
MEG TURNEY: I go that last week on my iPod.
MEG TURNEY: I remember that song.
MEG TURNEY: That's K-Ci and Jojo.
LEE NEWTON: I remember it because they did this
constantly.
MEG TURNEY: That's R&B. You like R&B, though.
Like, Boys II Men, you would like.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: See, I think I could be OK with that.
Anything that sounds like I could be saying mean things
and I'm talking really fast.
MEG TURNEY: No Snoop Dogg?
No Coolio?
No NWA?
Take it all the way back?
Take a fantastic voyage?
LEE NEWTON: You're a real badass, too.
I feel like it would probably be an anthem for you.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: You think all of a sudden I'm
going to become this rapper who's
walking around the office.
LEE NEWTON: Yeah.
Yeah, 100%.
[LAUGHING]
LEE NEWTON: All right.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: I wish I liked it, yeah.
I don't know.
LEE NEWTON: What do you guys think
is the best TV show of all time?
MEG TURNEY: Ooh, of all time?
LEE NEWTON: That's really difficult.
MEG TURNEY: Game of Thrones.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: : No.
LEE NEWTON: No.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: It's good, though.
MEG TURNEY: I really like it.
LEE NEWTON: It's great.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: I don't know.
Of all time?
LEE NEWTON: Of all time.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: I'm going to have to go--
and I'm gonna get crapped on for this--
I'm gonna have to go Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
MEG TURNEY: Really?
LEE NEWTON: Oh.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: Because it is the only show
I could literally sit down 48 hours at a time
and just watch straight through.
And I'd be fine not eating or sleeping or anything
because I'm just in my Buffy Bliss.
MEG TURNEY: I will say this.
I know I'm going to get more crap than you over Buffy
because people do like Buffy, Friends is an infallible show.
Friends--
LEE NEWTON: She's right.
MEG TURNEY: I got the season DVDs,
and while I was making my costumes for Comic Con
last year, all I did was watch season 1 episodes.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: That show hasn't aged at all.
LEE NEWTON: No, that's what I'm saying.
It's hilarious.
Well, and I think you're going to have to go, like,
what are the implications of all time?
Like, are we going integrity?
Are we going, like, you know, how the long lasting?
What's in syndication?
Are we going storyline?
Plot line?
Are we going best finale?
Are we going-- you know what I mean?
MEG TURNEY: Don't over-think it, spaz.
What do you think your favorite show of all time is?
LEE NEWTON: Seinfeld.
*** Seinfeld.
It's really good writing.
MEG TURNEY: We would make a great evening
block of television.
LEE NEWTON: Yes.
Friends and Seinfeld.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: And Buffy!
No?
Is that not in the evening plans?
MEG TURNEY: No.
LEE NEWTON: I was into Buffy, but again, I
understand that my mother was lost when it came to Buffy.
MEG TURNEY: Oh.
LEE NEWTON: Hold on, wait.
So, what?
You know, like she didn't sit down and watch that.
MEG TURNEY: I do know Once More With Feeling.
I've seen a few select episodes.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: My history teacher, who was also my debate
coach, was way into Buffy and I remember
calling her, like, crying, and she was crying.
We're like, (FAKE SOBBING) and then Angel just (FAKE SOBBING).
Oh my God.
That was my high school experience.
MEG TURNEY: Did Buffy die?
Did she die?
LEE NEWTON: Turney, did you ever call your history teacher?
MEG TURNEY: Yeah, no.
I do feel like I did have an English professor that I
thought was cute, but I never called her.
LEE NEWTON: Really?
I had an English professor that I thought was cute, too.
MEG TURNEY: Meow!
LEE NEWTON: Mr. Williams, he looked like Don Draper.
MEG TURNEY: No, we talked about Mr. Williams was my history
professor that I thought was cute.
LEE NEWTON: Ooh, Don Draper.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: It's a hot teacher day.
Mr. Williams.
MEG TURNEY: @philliphatcher says where
do you think the US will be in 10 or 20 years' time,
economically, culturally, and any other way?
I think we're going to be--
LEE NEWTON: To be honest, 10 to 20 years isn't, like, massive.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: No.
MEG TURNEY: Space cars!
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: You want stuff to change.
LEE NEWTON: Yeah, I want space cars for sure.
MEG TURNEY: Space cars for sure.
LEE NEWTON: Um, I dunno.
I think we're pushing more towards, like,
actually labeling GMO stuff, so economically that
will change stuff.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: Maybe we'll be a little healthier.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: Maybe people will have health insurance.
LEE NEWTON: That would also be amazing.
MEG TURNEY: That would be really nice.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: That would be nice, too.
LEE NEWTON: That would be amazing.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: Uh, small steps, kids.
MEG TURNEY: Maybe we'll be wearing nehru-necked shirts.
LEE NEWTON: Yeah.
MEG TURNEY: Tunics with nehru necks, anybody?
LEE NEWTON: Yeah.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: Maybe we'll get to have sex the way
that the Cone Heads do with the rings.
MEG TURNEY: You really don't want to touch people.
Like, you just--
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: Oh, that's not true.
That is not true.
LEE NEWTON: No, dude.
That is not true.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
LEE NEWTON: That is not true.
This one has a journal.
It is not true.
MEG TURNEY: This one doesn't have a journal.
LEE NEWTON: She wants to touch.
She wants to touch.
She also wants to explore the Cone Head way of sex.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: I do.
I think the more ways of sex, the merrier. [LAUGHING]
I just said that, yup.
LEE NEWTON: That's the new biography title now. [LAUGHING]
MEG TURNEY: Hey, Mrs. Hershberger, how you doing?
You gonna call Trisha now?
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: Oh no, don't talk to my mom!
Hi, Mom.
LEE NEWTON: Mmm, yeah.
FEMALE SPEAKER: She's watching.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: All right, one quick one.
Let's do it real fast, guys.
Um, Keola Ceridon says, ever been in a fist fight?
#TableTalk, go!
LEE NEWTON: No!
I haven't.
But the only time that I almost was, there was this crazy girl
named Tiffany Vasquez-- you know who you are.
Anyways, she fought everyone.
She was that girl that-- why, why do you fight everyone?
She also always would bare her midriff
and it wasn't a good idea.
And so she would literally-- one day she decided to come up
and she was like, I'm going to fight Lee.
No freaking clue why.
I have no idea why.
The good news about it is that someone else behind me
was like, you're not going to fight Lee.
I'm gonna fight you if you fight Lee.
And she was huge.
MEG TURNEY: Wow.
LEE NEWTON: And like, I never got in a fist fight,
but the one time I almost did, this girl Jillian was like,
uh uh, let's go.
And I was like, oh!
Like, I had a huge friend for a day.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
LEE NEWTON: Jillian was not my friend.
She wasn't my friend.
But for that day--
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: For that day,
Jillian was your good friend.
MEG TURNEY: Best friend.
No, I've never been in a fist fight, but I love UFC,
and I know how to use 12-6 Elbows, which
are illegal in the Atian but not the real world, right?
And how to put people in arm bar and an ankle lock,
so *** bring it!
I will smash your face in!
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: You gotta be careful with that
because I almost got into a fist fight
with this kid that was mean to my friend when I was younger.
I was like, I don't know, maybe 10, 11.
Almost got into a fight with my friend, hurt her feelings,
made her cry.
I was pissed.
And so I thought, I've watched enough cartoons.
I've watched enough fighting.
I'm going to be real good at this.
MEG TURNEY: There's a difference between cartoons and men
actually fighting.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: See, no, no, no.
You think you know your haiyahs and your-- you think you know.
MEG TURNEY: I would say-- I see the face shake.
I would say I've actually done the here's how I actually
put your arm in an arm bar.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: OK, so you've practiced.
Yeah, I just thought I was--
LEE NEWTON: What's an arm bar?
MEG TURNEY: It's where you have your legs spread across them
and you pull their arm back and it'll
break your-- I can't do it.
You have to be laying on the ground.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: No, no, no, no, no.
Please, not hurting here.
Please, no hurting here.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: But no, I was trying to be all defendy
and I thought I had done enough research
in my extensive cartoon watching.
It was a boy.
And I went up to this boy.
LEE NEWTON: Oh, Hershberger!
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: He made my female friend cry!
That is not cool, stupid boy!
And so, yeah, I went up to him and I tried to fight him.
And it didn't work out very well for me.
MEG TURNEY: I can just see baby Hershberger.
LEE NEWTON: Squee, squee!
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: It didn't help that I was like a foot
shorter than everybody else my age.
So I probably came up here.
And I was like, I'm gonna get you!
I know.
And I think I tried to like spin-kick him and I might
have even said haiyah.
And what ended up happening was he grabbed my foot
and like spun it, so I ended up just falling on the ground,
and then I was crying too.
LEE NEWTON: Hold on.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: It was horrible.
LEE NEWTON: He Walker-Texas-Rangered you.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: It sucked!
I tried to spin-kick him, which is way cooler.
LEE NEWTON: He Walker-Texas-Rangered you.
MEG TURNEY: Trisha, you know how I
can't watch shows that are awkward?
I can't even hear that story because it's so awkward,
it makes me feel bad on my insides.
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
MEG TURNEY: Yeah.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: I tried to double-dragon-kick him
and it didn't work.
LEE NEWTON: Oh, it's all coming back, guys.
MEG TURNEY: You did remind me, though.
In sixth grade, I did see a friend of mine.
My best friend was, like, wrestling with this guy
and I thought they were fighting,
and he was down on the ground so I kicked him in the ear.
And then they were play fighting and I didn't know.
But then we dated for like four years after that.
And that's how we met.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: There you have it!
Kick him in the ear, ladies!
That's how you get a good man.
Well, no.
Go to get pho by yourself.
And then kick him in the ear.
MEG TURNEY: Some guys like that.
TRISHA HERSHBERGER: It's perfect!
MEG TURNEY: Well, thanks for joining us on TableTalk.
