Minute 75 - The William Mayweather

Minute 75 - The William Mayweather

Hello and Welcome to Cabin Boy Minute - Minute 75! On this week's episode, we get our last glimpse of our crewmates, meet Nathanial's father - William Hombsley Mayweather and denounce our fancy legacy.

It is with mixed emotions that we enter the Hotel Mayweather this week. Past the Khaki'd guards who in many ways are serving as gatekeepers to our lives as well as Nathanial's. With timid caution, we proceed to discuss the contents of Mr. Mayweather's office and muse over the delightful life and career of the great Bob Elliott. We, of course, find the time once again to propose more inane video game, theatrical production and call to action ideas.

And as per usual, we determine who won the scene, quantify gags per minute and ultimately decide whether the minute was funny or not.

Please dear listeners, hang on to your christening wigs for just a bit longer before denouncing your fancy heritage and join us next week for Cabin Boy Minute - Minute 76!

Minute 74 - The Handshake

Minute 74 - The Handshake

Hello and welcome back to Cabin Boy Minute - Minute 74!

Trina and Nathanial say their final(ish) goodbye this week and we struggle with Nathanial's lack of commitment to his newfound love. To grant ourselves a reprieve from some uneven performances, we spend some time with the bartender, a hula lamp, and nice older woman who is enjoying being part of the show.

Some depth is added to Nathanial and Trina's conversation from the screenplay and we hear some amusing banter from the commentary. We explore the boundaries of "fun" in video games and propose wholesale updates to this scene. And finally we give you all we have to give as we find someone to win the scene, pick out a couple of gags in the minute and make the easy call on funny or not funny.

Don't get caught up in the mystery of who played the bartender in this minute. Instead get some brunch and join us next week on Cabin Boy Minute for minute 75!

Minute 72 - The Silver Slippers

Hello and welcome back to Cabin Boy Minute - Minute 72!

We're nearing the end of our journey, dear listeners. In this week's minute, Nathanial and the crew enjoy one final conversation and reminiscence over fancy tropical cocktails. We discuss how and why the crew may have cleaned themselves up, whether or not Paps has received medical attention and theorize as to the roles the crew would have if they worked at the hotel. We also learn about Adam's intended ending from the screenplay and comment upon the commentary.

Although this movie will come to an end, our imaginations are endless and we let the scope of our video game and theatrical production ideas run wild. And of course we decide who won the scene, enumerate gags per minute and vote on funny or not funny.

Be you bellhop, hostess, security guard or dock manager, we hope you'll join us next week on Cabin Boy Minute for Minute 73! Cuz there ain't nothing wrong with that!

Minute 70 - The Death of Mulligan

Minute 70 - The Death of Mulligan

Hello and welcome back to Cabin Boy Minute- Minute 70! It's a climactic minute this week, as Nathanial and Chocki team up to finally defeat the giant Mulligan! We discuss combat techniques, etiquette, the effects of strangulation and tackle the weighty topic (21 grams worth?) of what happens when we die. Along the way we also appreciate the last Gratuitous Doll Shot (GDS), Chocki's choice of singular attire and what may be the worst shot in the movie. A connection is made between the design of Breath of the Wild and Cabin Boy, and add a scene of mortuary negotiations to the theatrical production. As always we decide who won the scene, count the gags per minute and decide on funny or not funny. We shan't forget you dear listeners, so we hope you shan't forget us, and join us next week on Cabin Boy Minute for Minute 71!

Minute 66 - The Faith in Mankind

Hello and welcome back to Cabin Boy Minute - Minute 66!

In this minute, the Pope himself makes an appearance, as we discuss our collective faith in humanity, using his Fratelli Tutti encyclical as a reference point. We also learn about other such weighty topics as film compositing, question marks and rotting.

We then rally our flags to restore faith in mankind, both through calls to action and through the medium of video games (guest appearance by sconces). But fear not, for we don't betray your faith! We still take time to determine who won the scene, calculate gags per minute and decide on funny/not funny.

We hope you'll keep the nightlight on inside your soul for us and join us next week on Cabin Boy Minute for Minute 67!

Minute 64 - The Mulligan

Minute 64 - The Mulligan

Hello and welcome back to Cabin Boy Minute - Minute 64!

Giant things are afoot this week, as we are introduced to Mulligan, played by the fantastic Mike Starr. As we navigate this scene of surreal domesticity, we use Mulligan as a vehicle to learn about pocket protectors, leprechauns, electric toothbrushes, word of mouth advertising, remote shop locations and even housewares! We also take the time to debate whether or not Trina and Nathanial consummated their relationship and the location of Mulligan's shop. Wowza.

Mulligan's store receives its proper place in our cache of video game ideas, and Brian throws down the proverbial gauntlet to Chris Elliot for the possession of Nathanial' satchel. And, as always, we briskly discuss who won the scene, gags per minute and funny/not funny.

We understand that in today's day and age, we're all so busy trying to keep up with work and the demands of home. Irregardless, we hope you can find time to join us next week on Cabin Boy Minute for Minute 65!

Minute 62 - The Metric System

Minute 62 - The Metric System

Hello and welcome back to Cabin Boy Minute - Minute 62!

What will we discuss this week? In fact, it has much to do with the metric system. We learn about the International System of Units, why the United States did not adopt the system, and talk about the greater societal and cultural implications of that refusal. We also touch on record players, dimmers, and the color red, and then discover a call-out to our poor lost Kenneth subtly placed within the scene.

The multitude of Calli's arms inspires us to a multitude of ideas, complete with new systems of measurement and a reckoning with that eternal question: Do you really need 6-armed pants? And of course, we find a way to get past our differences and determine who won the scene, calculate gags per minute and decide if the scene was funny or not funny.

Don't get caught up too much in your climbing, calling or plumbing practice, make sure you save time to join us next week on Cabin Boy Minute for Minute 63!

Minute 60 - The Calli featuring Comedian Chad Opitz

Hello and Welcome to Cabin Boy Minute - Minute 60! 

Ooooooooooh weeeeeeeeeee, in this week's minute, we are joined again by the hilarious Chad Optiz! We are rewarded for our journey by laying our eyes for the first time on the glorious six-armed blue-skinned goddess, Calli, played by Ann Magnuson.

We dive deep into the origins of our cave welcome ditty and discuss the puppetry that was involved in creating our six-armed temptress, as well as, discuss the pros and cons of having that many appendages. Furthermore, we try to determine whether the Calli household is a mortgaged studio cave or an owned cave mansion, truly must-have information.

As usual, we decide who wins the scene, quantify gags per minute and ultimately decide whether the minute was funny or not.

Thank you Chad Opitz for joining us and thank you all for being here and be sure to stock up on mittens and join us next week for Cabin Boy Minute - Minute 61!

Minute 59 - The Cliff Climb

Minute 59 - The Cliff Climb

Hello and Welcome Back to Cabin Boy Minute - Minute 59! In this week's minute we are actually climbing a cliff, we survey mountain botany and are aesthetically welcomed through the cave entrance.

The tightrope walk of struggle and courage is overcome to get us to this point dear listeners. We get to the nitty gritty of what it takes to overcome fear and support this with the neuroscience of bravery. The little lighted sconces above our heads give us some "great" ideas for how to use interior lighting to keep people working and we dive deep into Calli's lair design in general.

And as per usual, we decide who wins the scene, quantify gags per minute and ultimately decide whether the minute is funny or not.

Thank you for joining us on Cabin Boy Minute - Minute 59. Please continue to talk yourself up the climb and join us next week for Cabin Boy Minute - Minute 60!

Minute 56 - The Double Dark Willies

Hello and welcome back to Cabin Boy Minute - Minute 56!
This week we shake off the double-dark willies and join the crew as they encounter the island of Hell's Bucket. Things take a nautical shading as we learn about wolf whistles, the origins of the willies, what to call your boat servant and what you do with a shit load of gravel. We briefly alter our course to consult the screenplay and get a better understanding of the crew's motivations on the island.
We are inspired (in spirit) by Jack Daniels and bad sausages as we discuss video games, board games, reality shows and finally realize that what we really need is a restaurant. And we of course embark on that classic mental voyage: who won the scene, gags per minute and funny/not funny.
We hope that no matter what you've had for dinner, you're dreaming of us! Join us next week on Cabin Boy Minute for Minute 57!

Minute 46 - The Salty Sea Talk

Hello and welcome back to Cabin Boy Minute - Minute 46!

This week we are joined by a dear friend and fan of the show, Danielle! She will be providing a female perspective on the movie which had been sorely lacking until now. Together we discuss how Trina has handled herself and the crew thus far, suffer some salty sea talk, learn about omnibuses and pudding, give praise to the work done by Melora Walters and try to use Paps' behavior as a lesson for us all.

We ask for an update to the Filthy Whore's sexual harassment policies and for the rest of Trina's story (both before and after the story of Cabin Boy). Ensuring that we don't lose perspective on our roles as Cabin Boy analysts, we discuss who won the scene, enumerate the gags per minute and make the call on funny or not funny.

Does this movie belong to Nathanial, or does it in fact belong to Trina? Only further analysis will tell, so join us next week on Cabin Boy Minute for Minute 47!

Hello and welcome back to Cabin Boy Minute - Minute 44!

This week we are formally introduced to the strong and stunning Trina, played by the great Melora Walters. We then take a lap through the long-distance swimming community, challenge the veracity of Trina's world-record breaking swim, offer encouragement to nascent engineers and theorize about Nathanial's state of matter.

We support Adam's attempt to compliment his movie in the commentary and plan out a legitimate competition to swim around the world (Maryland to Maryland). We then abide by the rules set forth for our podcast and determine who won the scene, calculate GPM and decide if the minute was funny or not funny.

You may not be able to trust everything you see and hear in this movie, but you can always trust that we'll be here to explain it to you, dear listeners! Please join us next week on Cabin Boy Minute for Minute 45!

We furthermore discuss what Essie May's profession truly is, as well as, what this movie, en masse, truly is.

As usual, we determine who won the scene, how many gags are contained within this minute and, ultimately, whether the minute is funny or not.

Minute 40 - The Fish Stick Kitties featuring Chad Opitz

Hello and welcome back to Cabin Boy Minute - Minute 40!

This week we have reached the halfway point of the movie and our podcast journey! The great Chad Opitz once again joins us as we take a trip to Wackyville, and then learn about the entirely natural phenomenon of purple lightning, how to properly construct a fish stick kitty and briefly foray into the life Edgar John Bergen, famed ventriloquist.

Side projects continue to stack up, with calls for the brewing of Sea King beer, fish stick kitty competitions and the opening of theme parks (please send your internship applications to cabinboyminute@gmail.com). We debate the surreality of the movie and this podcast, and finally answer the most important of questions: who won the scene, gags per minute, and funny/not funny.

Fret not dear listeners, we will not let expired amphibians lie. Join us next week for the second half of our journey on Cabin Boy Minute, Minute 41!
