Episode 71
Prince--Bob Seger--(Same Guy?) & "Where's the Beef? Burger Wars"
This week’s episode is a wild ride through unexpected musical
theories, fast food rivalries, and a heartfelt tribute to a classic TV
star. Buckle up for a multi-course serving of nostalgia and surprises.
Segment 1: “Raspberry Seger?”
Prince’s Raspberry Beret turns 40 this summer, but here’s the
question we can’t stop asking: Did Prince write that song in the style
of… Bob Seger? Is this a legit theory or a full-on Mandela Effect
hallucination? We investigate their shared Midwestern roots, the
surprising musical similarities, and the strange-but-true story of why
these two icons were supposed to meet—but never did. Also: Wolfman Mike
shares a deeply personal (and very gross) tale of eating a mystery
burrito in front of Prince—in the dark.
Segment 2: “Burger Wars: Chapter 3 — Where’s the Beef?”
We’ve covered McDonald’s. We’ve covered Burger King. Now it’s time to
give the other burger chains their shot. In Chapter 3 of our Burger
Wars series, we spotlight Wendy’s and the other 70s and 80s fast food
joints that dared to challenge the Big Two. Can a square patty and a
little old lady shouting “Where’s the beef?” change the game? Is this
the round where we finally declare a winner?
Segment 3: “Goodbye to a 70s/80s Star”
A beloved actress from our childhoods has passed away. Known for her
beauty—but was that all she brought to the screen? We take a look back
at her roles, her impact, and why she meant more than just a pretty face
on TV. It’s a tribute filled with heart and surprising insights.
