Boy Howdy,

Or,
The Sixth Episode of What's the MATTer With AmERICA
A One-Act Play

It's a cold November morn, but not inside the WECB studio where MATT and ERICA are hard at work, inventing "Dentist Tennis."
MATT, rubbing his brow: There! Our robot son is complete. I'll name him "Dentist Tennis."
ERICA: Cool.
M: He's also a sport! Isn't that right, sport?
DENTIST TENNIS, dentist-like: BZZT- FIFTEEN, LOVE
M: We love you too.
E: Hey, can he fix my tooth? She pulls a rat out of the back of her mouth.
M: It's worth a try! He throws it in DT's mouth
DT: TOOTH DOES NOT COMPUTH He explodes.
E: Cool.
Suddenly, MANAGEMENT opens the door and enters the studio.
MANAGEMENT: You guys are canceled.

M + E: MGMT:
All: Boy howdy!

• flute
• organ (during a church service, no less)
• ocarina (a nod to Zelda)
• cell phone
• bottles
• hands
• a ruler

Of course, if you're craving even more Mario, there's always the theremin or Tesla coil.

Now, video game-related goodies:

• sixty-five things that look like Pac-Man
• The Legend of Zelda: a Link to the Past dance
• Tetris-shaped ice cube trays
• The Accidental Video Game Porn Archive

Metal Gear Solid IV, with thumbs:


If you're too hip and esoteric for all this, check out the video for Grizzly Bear's Deep Sea Diver, which is inspired by the futile and arbitrary nature of life and death in old arcade games.

Thanks for listening and reading and don't be afraid to leave a comment and give us some feedback on the most recent shows or any of the past shows, and make sure to check under the tag "Video Games" in the future for more stories of pixelated nostalgia.

Most important, we'd like to thank Caitlin Malcuit for her phenomenal work as a guest host. You're better at this than we are and you're welcome back any time.
