Happy new year from 2026
Thanks for another year of fun shows.
You were talking bout buffets on the last show. When I was in Malaysia for basketball years ago, we went to this buffet that was an entire floor of this high rise building in Kuala Lumpor.
This place was deluxe. You were seated in separate rooms from the other groups of people. This place had the usual stuff at the different food type areas, but they also had table clips you could put on trays at the stuff that was made fresh & they’d bring it to your table. I remember one was for Shark Finn soup & in the dessert area was a lady making waffles for you to go with all the ice cream & stuff.
I spent a lot of time in that dessert area. Good times, good times.
Have a good 1

I remember a Chinese restaurant back in the day (late 90s) that was $6 all you can eat, had two children studying in the front table, and had all you can eat crab legs, but they actually had enough that it was possible to actually eat a lot of them. The only downside is that you had to go to Sioux City Iowa… I don’t know how they survived, because that was an amazing deal…
As an aviation geek, I love that the show started out with a discussion of Airplane!, such a great and hysterical movie!!
Leslie Nelson was in both Airplane and Naked Gun, so that might have caused crossed wires, plus they’re both slapstick. Airplane was a parody of disaster movies, a growing genre back then. My favorite scene is the “I Speak Jive” bit, and the hysterical woman being shaken to her senses (a common trope) but it’s a line of people with weapons waiting their turn.
The Soul Train Airplane flip as a title probably slapped and stuck, hehe, in the meeting at the time, but I think had it been named something else, like “Please step forward”, it would be less confusing of a movie especially if the plane never takes off. Air travel (geographical freedom and access) furthers POV but it’s also what they tell you at the airport before walking through the detector, which also acts like a “portal” to the sky, the height we’ll never reach. That took a dark turn. Black air travel can be funny, when in the right hands. Before I land this plane, call the Wayans, next time. Sorry for the length.
