  • What the Fox
    Dec 4 2025
    🕺 Aerobics, Vampires, and Elton Juan? What the Fox is Going On?!

    Join us on this episode of The Full Scoop Podcast where we start with a hilarious deep dive into a cringe-worthy John Travolta 80s aerobics clip that’s guaranteed to make you laugh (and question the decade). We also launch into a chaotic discussion about Yu-Gi-Oh, The Shadow Realm, and doppelgangers! Our chaos peaks when we explore a wild theory comparing music legend Elton John to the Mexican icon Juan Gabriel, framing them as true musical mirror images. Get ready for funny tangents, rapid-fire banter, and a serious examination of who copied whom!

    Don't miss the show that proves sometimes, the best comedy is pure, glorious chaos!

    Some of our mentions:

    Movies:

    * Perfect - The movie featuring John Travolta and Jamie Lee Curtis doing aerobics. * Vampire in Brooklyn * The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen * Metastasis * Saturday Night Live (SNL) (mentioned for the "Sydney Applebaum" vampire skit

  • The Thanksgiving Scoop
    Nov 27 2025

    Come hang out with the The Full Scoop crew this week as we shake off the hangovers and dive into the chaos of Thanksgiving! We start with some funny life tangents, like hearing about an intense, shaky Pilates class and Alan hilariously confronting the hosts about their total lack of concern when he went MIA (seriously, where was the checking-in?). Then, we jump right into the holiday, giving a truly irreverent and satirical take on the Pilgrims and the questionable history surrounding the first feast. Get ready for laughs, our unconventional picks for Thanksgiving movies, and a lively debate about the unexpectedly small size of Plymouth Rock—it's an unscripted ride you'll definitely want to join!

    Our Thanksgiving Movie Picks - Kinda:

    • Addams Family Values - Mentioned as a Thanksgiving movie we keep in rotation.

    • Free Birds - Mentioned as a Thanksgiving movie.

    • Spider-Man - Mentioned for having a Thanksgiving scene.

    • Little Fockers - Mentioned for having a mini Thanksgiving scene.

    • The Ice Storm- Mentioned as a movie that takes place entirely over Thanksgiving.

    • The Ice Road - Mentioned (mistakenly by Kelso, thinking of Liam Neeson).

    • Almost Heroes - Mentioned by Kelso as a film he showed his son to teach him about Lewis and Clark.

    • Nacho Libre - Mentioned by Jessi, though Alan immediately dismisses it as a Cinco de Mayo movie.

    Join us today while we discuss everything from getting drunk and doing karaoke at a quinceañera to a strong defense of Nickelback.

Plus, there's a quick reminder that "Epstein did not kill himself." Tune in for a fun, freewheeling discussion!
