From Season 2 of My Pal Sammy: After Did You See The Mariachi Band in Umbrella Academy?

A solo My Pal Sammy podcast is lovingly recorded. This solo Sammy episode covers…the Mariachi Band that cameoed in one episode of the Netflix series Umbrella Academy.

And in this My Pal Sammy podcast there’s more…

Mourning culture: It’s sad baby!
AGO: Illusions: The Art of Magic running until November 8, 2020: It’s magic baby!
NBA’s Return: It’s hoops baby!
The Umbrella Academy Mariachi Band: it’s music baby!

Does that make sense out loud?

I dunno…press play. Couldn’t find the Mariachi Band scene on YouTube (come on nerds!) so here’s a fantastic Sunny cover from the show’s soundtrack.

p.s. Intro Music by Yung Kartz “Forget Me”

Sammy Younan is the affable host of My Summer Lair: think NPR’s Fresh Air meets Kevin Smith: interviews & impressions on Pop Culture.

Every Christmas break I pantlessly sit and watch and absorb a lot of pop culture (books, comic books, tv shows and movies) and then I have tea and I think a lot and I write a lot so this time I’m recording a handful of My Pal Sammy episodes; this is my Captain’s Log…a record of some of the pop culture I’ve been consuming and some of the stuff I’ve been thinking about over my 2018 Christmas Break.

Tonight…January 1st, 2019 shortly after midnight and as I sip my English Breakfast tea I’m thinking about The First and The Last.

One Correction: I was half-right about Muhammad Ali he didn’t go to jail but he did lose prime fighting years. According to Wikipedia:

“In March 1966, Ali refused to be inducted into the armed forces. He was systematically denied a boxing license in every state and stripped of his passport. As a result, he did not fight from March 1967 to October 1970—from ages 25 to almost 29—as his case worked its way through the appeals process before his conviction was overturned in 1971. During this time of inactivity, as opposition to the Vietnam War began to grow and Ali’s stance gained sympathy, he spoke at colleges across the nation, criticizing the Vietnam War and advocating African American pride and racial justice.”

Damn.

THANK YOU for taking the time to listen to My Pal Sammy Episode 1. This is a short podcast mini-series to keep me occupied during the Christmas break. An experiment if you will.

The second episode is up. Wanted to get the 3rd up before 2018 expired but it doesn’t appear like that’ll happen. Emphasis on break…as in Christmas break. The series is meant to capture some of my thoughts about what I’ve been consuming since this is my prime TV watching time.

What will not make the cut, however, is the following observation…

Every Christmas break I pantlessly sit and watch and absorb a lot of pop culture (books, comic books, tv shows and movies) and then I have tea and I think a lot and I write a lot so this time I’m recording a handful of My Pal Sammy episodes; this is my Captain’s Log…a record of some of the pop culture I’ve been consuming and some of the stuff I’ve been thinking about over my 2018 Christmas Break.

Tonight…Boxing Day 2018 shortly after midnight and as I sip my tea I’m thinking about Thanos. This topic was prompted by watching Avengers: Infinity War (which premiered on Netflix on Christmas Day).

It’s also Boxing Day so eh…why not and I quote Fight Club.

Thanks for listening.
