What's the difference between a true race boot; a race-inspired ski boot; and a high-performance freeride or freestyle boot?

At Blister Summit 2024, we got a state of the union on the present and future of ski boot design from 3 people with a wealth of experience in this world: Eric “Hoji” Hjorleifson, Matt Manser, and Greg Klein. They cover everything from the reception and performance of BOA boots to Hoji's new Dynafit Ridge Pro boot; cold feet (literal & metaphorical…), and much more.RELATED LINKS:Get Yourself Covered: BLISTER+Blister YouTube ChannelBlister Recommended ShopsTOPICS:Intro 4:12BOA Ski Boots: How's It Gone So Far? 5:36Weight: Still a Big Factor?13:27Hoji's New Dynafit Ridge Pro Boot 25:20“Welcome Fit” 39:06Footbeds & Boot Shell Plastic 45:31Upper-Cuff BOAs? 54:09Selling Shells w/o Liners? 56:34Solutions for Cold Feet? 1:02:40“True” size-22 Shells 1:04:57Throat / Instep Fit 1:06:47Canting & Cuff Alignment 1:09:11“Custom” Boots 1:11:20CHECK OUT OUR OTHER PODCASTS:Blister CinematicCRAFTEDBikes & Big IdeasBlister PodcastOff The Couch Hosted on Acast.

How do you define “consistency” — the ability to produce the exact same thing time & time again? Or producing a product that is never exactly the same, but is always of high quality? That question is at the heart of this conversation about official offerings vs independent bottlings, but Matt and Jonathan also find time to talk about Scotch and spit buckets; Matt's current top-3 ‘hottest' Scotch brands; the short lifespans of humans vs the long lifespans of craft categories; upcoming ski trips to Japan (Blister members, listen up); and more.TOPICS & TIMES:Peated Scotch & Spit Buckets (3:18)Signatory, Edradour, & Independent Bottling Co's (6:41)Matt's Top-3 ‘Hottest' Scotch Producers (14:22)Country-Specific Offerings: Scotch & Skis (21:38)Blister Members: want to go to Japan?

New Season, New Episode! After last week's exhausting viewing of the 2017 Baywatch movie, we're so thankful to be back in the 90s with the crew we know and love. Gayle's getting married, and she wants to take Hobie back to Ohio. Matt's parents are moving to France, and he has to make a choice. Summer's mom takes on a new business endeavor. A kid fakes his own death. Join Zach, Charlie, and special guest Matt Manser as we dive into this two-parter that features Michelle Williams, the voice of Casper the Friendly Ghost (who is NOT Devon Sawa), and an Academy Award-worthy performance from Flash Gordon himself.

How do elite ski racers like Marcel Hirsher, Mikaela Shiffrin, Bode Miller, and Daron Rahlves “feel” their gear, and their ski boots in particular? Matt Manser and Jonathan Ellsworth discuss how some of the all-time greats are superhumanly attuned to the slightest changes of a binding or ski boot.They also discuss Forward Lean (how to measure it, whether lots or less of it is better, etc.); ‘static’ power straps vs. ‘elastic’ Booster Straps; whether WC skiers or WC DH mtn bikers are pickier about their equipment; and more.TOPICS & TIMES:Marcel Hirscher & Bode Miller’s insane attunement (4:11)How many boots does Marcel bring to a race?

Last week on GEAR:30, we talked plastics with Atomic Ski Boots product manager, Matt Manser. Here in part 2, we talk with Matt about the messy world of flex ratings; progressive vs. linear flex patterns; the actual differences between some brands’ 120 and 130 rated boot; how Atomic arrives at their own flex ratings; the next areas of innovation that Atomic is focused on, and more.TOPICS & TIMES:Flex Patterns & All the Feels (4:13)“Progressive” vs. “Linear” flex patterns (5:10)The mess that is Flex Ratings (13:13)How Atomic arrives at their own flex ratings (17:24)How brands make a “110” vs. “120” vs. “130” etc. (27:34)Colorways & Geopolitics (34:20)Why a standardized flex rating probably won’t happen (35:55)The damping / “suspension” of a boot (42:32)Weight & Damping (47:04)Next areas of innovation for Atomic boots?

Ski boots are made of plastic, and different plastics feel and perform very differently from one another. So we get deep into the details with Atomic Ski Boots product manager, Matt Manser, to help you figure out which plastics are used in your ski boots, and the pros & cons & general performance characteristics of different plastics — which will help you understand why you might like or dislike your current boots, and what you ought to be looking for in your next pair.TOPICS & TIMES:What has been the focus of your recent work in ski boots?

Ann Maddox and Matt Manser join me on this episode and together we perform the improviser's cut of the movie L.A. Confidential. We learn what it was like to pitch tabloid stories in the 50's and we discover that Ed Exley recorded an infamous music album. Also, I did a pretty spot-on Don Knotts impression. This episode was definitely off the record, on the QT, and very hush-hush.

EXTRA! EXTRA! SKEETER IS STILL MISSING! In "The Daily Muppet," the babies make their own newspaper for Nanny - even though she makes them sleep 8 babies to a crib! But the real front page story should be the disappearance of Skeeter, so Eli Magers (Pack Theater) helps Eileen and Matt with the investigation. They also discuss if Kermit is an evil dictator, if Gonzo is actually a God, and why Eli insists that all of Fozzie's friends actually call him "Fonzie." And we even give out the very real and official Skeeter-ial phone number you can ring at any time. But do they find Skeeter? Listen for yourself to get the facts, that are anything but "Fake news." See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

SKEETER, ARE YOU ALIVE!? Matt and Eileen still have no idea where Skeeter is, so they've called upon the help of their friend, comedian and musician Zach Olsen. The three of them watched season 3 episode 7 of The Muppet Babies ("Fozzie's Family Tree") and along the way discuss whether or not Skeeter could be The Count, Eileen's favorite dolphin, and the SUPER AMAZING SONG THAT'S IN THIS EPISODE! Oh, and maybe, just maybe, where Skeeter is. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

CONGRESS, HELP US FIND SKEETER! Matt and Eileen still haven't found Skeeter, so they enlisted the help of Tamra Brown (Liquid Feet) to help finally get to the bottom of the case. In this episode, Kermit becomes president of the nursery and goes to Washington...so can the government finally get involved in solving Skeeter's disappearance? They also talked about if Beaker is a sentient finger, Miss Piggy's "time's up" moment with Kermit, and if Nanny is in a polyamorous relationship with Statler and Waldorf. But do they find Skeeter? Listen and find out! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

SKEETER, WHERE THE FRICK ARE YOU!?!?! Matt and Eileen still aren't sure, so they brought in actress/writer Molly Fite to help crack the case. The three of them watched season 3, episode 5 of Muppet Babies ("The Muppet Broadcasting Company") and discussed spider poop, how Molly models her life after Ms. Piggy, and all types of accents. But do they find Skeeter!? You better listen and find out! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

SKEETER-IAL IS BACK, BUT SKEETER IS NOT! Eileen and Matt are back with our first new episode of 2018 - and we talk about the BRAND NEW REBOOT OF MUPPET BABIES - that somehow omits Skeeter! We also bring in Kate Huffman ("I'm Too Fat For This Show"), and we discuss if we would buy lemonade from a baby, and also serenade R. Kelly with a rendition of "I Believe I Can Fly." But do we find Skeeter? Listen and find out! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

So how does a kid from a little town in New York end up becoming a global product manager at one of the largest ski and boot manufacturers in the world, and living in Austria? And why does he believe that studying philosophy in college and in grad school turned out to be the ideal preparation for his day-to-day responsibilities at Atomic?We’re talking to Matt Manser about his background, his studies in philosophy, his experience as a bootfitter, and the design decisions that go into the creation of every ski boot he works on, including the current Atomic Hawx Ultra and Hawx Ultra XTD.Matt and I cover a lot of topics, so if you want to dip in and out of our conversation, check the show notes on the website or on your phone to see a list of the topics and times.Also, if you’d like to ask Matt a question or give him some feedback, you can hit him up on instagram at: @onenerdykid — and if he isn’t too busy playing video games or reading Aristotle, you will probably get a reply back pretty quickly.TOPICS & TIMES:Where do you currently live, and what is your title at Atomic?

BREAKING NEWS! In the week before Thanksgiving, The Muppets' official YouTube channel posted - for real - a video titled "Happy Thanksgiving from Scooter & Lew Zealand!" Given that our leading theory is that Skeeter may have grown up to become Lew Zealand, this pairing seems like more than just a coincidence. In this episode, Eileen, Matt, and guest Robert Clarke-Chan watch the video (complete with audio clips!) and analyze for more possible clues about Skeeter. They also discuss if Lew Zealand is attracted to fish, and if a smile is a hug your face makes. But do they finally find Skeeter? Listen and find out! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

SKEETER, WHERE ARE YOU? ARE YOU SECRETLY LEW ZEALAND!?! Matt and Eileen are still knee-deep in this mystery, and they've brought back a couple of old friends to help with their investigation. Jeremy Schmidt and Ron Lechler host "The Twilight Zone Zone" but they returned to Skeeter-ial and learned about this Lew Zealand theory theory. The four of them watched season 3, episode 3 of The Muppet Babies ("The Weirdo Zone") and discussed Crazy Eights, MORE FIGHT CLUB, and maybe...just maybe...where Skeeter is!? Listen and find out! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

THE SKEETER/LEW ZEALAND MYSTERY CONTINUES!!! Matt and Eileen keep investigating the disappearance of Skeeter...and dig deeper into the possibility that SKEETER GREW UP TO BECOME LEW ZEALAND! They were joined by Charlie Mihelich (UCB, IO West) and they also discussed if Alanis Morissette or Arnold Schwarzenegger is involved in the mystery, who the Muppets' counterparts are on Peanuts, and, for some reason, how the investigation is affecting their dating lives. But do they find Skeeter? Listen and find out! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

SEASON 3 PREMIERE - DID SKEETER BECOME LEW ZEALAND??? On the season 2 finale, a new Skeeter theory was presented that suggests that Skeeter could have grown up to become boomerang fish-throwing Muppet Lew Zealand. Could it be true? We don't know, but the photos make it seem like a possibility. With the help of Tommy Bechtold (ABC's "The Middle"), we dive further into this theory while also discussing the first episode of Muppet Babies season 3, "Pigerella." Tommy, Matt and Eileen also talked about if Britney Spears should have recorded a song called "Not a Tadpole, Not Yet a Frog." But did we find Skeeter? Listen and find out! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

IT'S THE SEASON 2 FINALE AND WE STILL DON'T KNOW WHERE SKEETER IS! But folks, this episode is a GAME CHANGER! Writer/author and Muppet super fan, Ben Greene joined Matt and Eileen on their very important, very serious quest to find the missing Muppet. The three of them watched Season 2, Episode 13 of The Muppet Babies ("When You Wish Upon A Muppet") and along the way, they discussed action figures, Ben's very secret horse notebook, and they unearthed the BIGGEST CLUE YET. This might change the entire investigation, so you DON'T want to miss this episode! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

THIS EPISODE IS NSFW! SKEETER, COME BACK! Still no answer on the disappearance of Skeeter from Muppet Babies. So in this episode, Matt and Eileen got some assistance from Kat Palardy ("New Girl," "Brooklyn Nine-Nine"), who (as an investigative exercise) led us in a game of "F***, MARRY, SKEETER." Like we said, THIS EPISODE IS NSFW! When solving a crime, sometimes stuff comes up that's not safe for work...but is Skeeter safe at all? We also discussed if Skeeter went to Burning Man, and how Matt used to play catch by himself by throwing a tennis ball against an old barn. But did we find Skeeter? Listen and find out! NOT SAFE FOR WORK! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

SKEETER? SKEETER ARE YOU THERE!? Matt and Eileen still haven't found Skeeter, the missing Muppet who was seen on Muppet Babies but never as an adult Muppet with the rest of the gang. This week, Madeline Walter joins them on their quest! You know Madeline from the UCB Theatre and from her podcast, "Definitely Dying." But is Skeeter definitely dead!? The three of them watched season 2, episode 11 of The Muppet Babies ("The Muppet Museum of Art") to look for clues and along the way, they discussed sing-a-long tapes, fruit bowls, the movie "Room," and maybe, just maybe, where Skeeter is.

We are joined today by one half of the Skeeter-ial (@skeeterial) podcast duo, Matt Manser (@mansermatt), to talk all about "The Ones" (S3E19)! Listen as we talk about Elisa's go-to outfit, Zach Braff's doppelgänger's cameo, and poor Lutz. Poor, poor Lutz. Jenna falls in love with a pretty paramedic, Jack falls out of love with a pretty murderer, and Liz rekindles love with a pretty plate of night cheese.tl;drEpisode: Season 3, Episode 19 // "The Ones"Guest: Matt Manser (@mansermatt) See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

SKEETER, COME BACK! Matt and Eileen couldn't find Skeeter at the Hollywood Bowl, so they went back to watching Muppet Babies episodes in the hopes of finding clues that will lead us to Skeeter. Joining us in the search is Lesley Tsina ("Community," "Transparent"). We discussed Lesley's book "Restart Me Up" (a real book about the fake history of Windows '95), plus we tried to find out if Bunson is actually an avocado, if FedEx drivers are bad parents, and if Skeeter is trapped in "Tron." But did we find Skeeter? Listen and find out! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

BONUS EPISODE! The Muppets recently appeared LIVE IN CONCERT AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL, and Matt and Eileen were there to investigate! The concert featured performances and appearances by Kermit, Fozzie, Miss Piggy, and ever more recent Muppets like Pepe and Walter...but was Skeeter there? Did Scooter even mention his long lost twin? Joining us in the investigation is Bennie Arthur of "Drunk History." But is Skeeter history? Listen and find out! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

SKEETER, WE BEG OF YOU: PLEASE TELL US WHERE YOU ARE! Matt and Eileen still have no idea where Skeeter is but they're confident that this week's guest, Drew Seeley, can help them out. Drew is an actor and a singer, but if Skeeter is found, our hearts will be the ones singing. The three of them watched Season 2, episode 9 of The Muppet Babies ("What's New at the Zoo?") to look for clues and along the way, they discussed love triangles (and love squares and love pentagons), whether or not Skeeter could be at a zoo, and who would last the longest in a Muppet Fight Club...without spoiling the movie Fight Club FOR ONCE! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

MORE MYSTERY! Matt and Eileen still can't fine Skeeter, so they enlisted the help of Pam Murphy ("Adam Ruins Everything," "30 Rock). They discussed the Muppet Babies episode titled "Musical Muppets," and talked about if Skeeter is stuck in Tron, if Eileen stared at the eclipse for too long, and a possible spoiler of the movie "Split." But did they find Skeeter? Listen and find out! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

HELLO? SKEETER? ARE YOU OUT THERE?!?!Matt and Eileen still have no idea where Skeeter is, so they've brought in Cassi Jerkins (Dumb Nerds Podcast) to help them crack this case. The three of them watched Season 2, episode 7 of the Muppet Babies ("I Want My Muppet TV!") and looked for clues. Along the way, they discussed Muppet puberty, which Muppet baby would be the best improviser, and they even held...a seance!? But did they find Skeeter? Listen and find out! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

How many of us are lucky to have a bar we frequent where everybody knows our name? How about for 11 seasons? Hilarious comedian and writer Matt Manser joins host Cassi Jerkins to talk about the hit TV show “Cheers”! Matt watched the show as a kid learning many adult issues from it. Matt and Cassi get into the different characters that created such a dynamic ensemble which lead to the popular spin off show, “Fraiser”. Cassi learns that Frasier was originally written for one of her favorite actors of all time, John Lithgow, but Lithgow turned it down giving Kelsey Grammer the most prominent role of his acting career. (Honorable mention to Sideshow Bob). Cassi reflects upon John Lithgow’s career and her love for him a bit too long and Matt has to reel her back in. Matt tells Cassi about some of his favorite Cheers episodes which involve Cliff Clavin trying to write a joke for Johnny Carson and another where he almost wins “Jeopardy”. So pour yourself a beer and enjoy this week’s Dumb Nerds ep all about “Cheers”! This episode is dedicated to the late Jay Thomas, Carla's hockey playing boyfriend who got written off the show because Jay talked ill of Rhea Perlman on a radio show.

THE MYSTERY CONTINUES! This week, Matt and Eileen are aided in the search by comedian Chet Wild...but they are not "wild" about Skeeter continuing to be missing! This week, the investigation continues by watching this"Muppet Babies" episode where Skeeter stars as Snow White! Could Piggy's jealousy have been the motivation for Skeeter's Demise? They also discuss if Nanny's on cocaine, if Bunson Honeydew is an actual talking honeydew, and if real snakes make a "boing" sound or if that's just fake snakes in prank jars of peanut brittle? (Speaking of brittle, that's how our hearts feel when we don't know where Skeeter is.) See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

SKEETER ARE YOU OUT THERE? Matt and Eileen STILL have no idea where Skeeter is, so this week they brought in Billy Merritt (UCB Theatre) to help them on their search. The three of them watched episode 18 of the Muppet Babies ("Out-of-This-World History") and along the way, discussed piracy, dinosaurs, and our FIRST ACTUAL FACT!?! What could it be? And do they find Skeeter? Listen and find out! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

THE SKEETER SEARCH CONTINUES! This week, Matt and Eileen are joined by Tim Saccardo ("Community," "American Dad") and Justin Donaldson ("Reno 911," "Key & Peele"). They watched the "Muppet Babies" episode "The Great Cookie Robbery" and discussed if Brad Pitt is a Muppet, who is the handsomest Muppet of all time, and the answer to a mysterious Fozzie joke with no punchline. And, as always, they tried to find out what really happened to Skeeter. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, WHERE IS SKEETER?! Matt and Eileen still have no idea where Skeeter is, so they brought in Gilli Nissim (UCB Theater) to help them solve this mystery. The three of them watched the 16th episode of The Muppet Babies ("Fozzie's Last Laugh") to look for clues. Along the way, they discuss whether or not Nanny is just a landlord, Bobby's World, who shot J.R., and maybe, just maybe, where Skeeter is. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

THE SKEETER MYSTERY CONTINUES! Matt and Eileen still don't know what happened to Skeeter, so they brought in Ben Siemon ("Crazy Ex-Girlfriend") to help figure things out by watching the 15th episode of "Muppet Babies" (titled "Piggy's Hyper-Activity Book"). Together, they discussed the creepy behavior of Gonzo, Nanny giving the babies Stockholm Syndrome, and a theory so disturbing that we may have to issue Skeeter-ial's first ever trigger warning. But is this the episode where we get the answers? Listen and find out! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Brand new season, same old mystery: WHERE IS SKEETER?!?! After watching the entire first season of "The Muppet Babies" looking for clues, Matt Manser and Eileen Mary O'Connell still have no idea where in the world is the missing Muppet, Skeeter. And so, the journey continues...This week, Matt and Eileen are joined by Robert Clarke-Chan and Gina Ippolito. Robert and Gina are two of the co-hosts for "Knowing Is Half The Podcast," but do they KNOW where Skeeter is? The four of them watched the season 2 premiere of Muppet Babies, "Once Upon An Egg Timer" and along the way discussed "I Know What You Did Last Summer," twincest, and maybe, just maybe, where Skeeter is. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It's the final episode of season 1 of Skeeter-ial, and still NO SIGN OF SKEETER!!! With this episode, Matt Manser and Eileen Mary O'Connell have now watch the entire first season of Muppet Babies in search of Skeeter. Could this episode be the one where the mystery is solved? This time, Matt and Eileen are joined by Ray Stakenas and Brent Pope of the Ray's 'N Brent Podcast. Ray says he's got some info (from Scooter himself) that could crack the case...but is it true? They also discuss Jay Leno, Jim from The Office, and if Skeeter might be trapped underneath some pie sauce (which we can only assume is a real thing.) See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

HELLO SKEETER MY OLD FRIEND, WE'VE COME TO SEARCH FOR YOU AGAIN! Skeeter from The Muppet Babies is, devastatingly, STILL missing. And so, Matt Manser and Eileen Mary O'Connell must continue on their very, very, very, very serious investigation. This week, Matt and Eileen are joined by Jeremy Schmidt and Ron Lechler. You know Jeremy and Ron from their podcast, The Twilight Zone Zone, but where is Skeeter Skeeter!? The four of them watched episode 12 of The Muppet Babies, "From A Galaxy Far, Far Away" and looked for clues. They also discussed if twins have to be the same species, Gonzo's farts, really big bowls of cereal, and maybe, just maybe, where Skeeter is. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

SKEETER IS ONCE AGAIN NOWHERE TO BE FOUND! Skeeter from The Muppet Babies is still missing, which means that Matt Manser and Eileen Mary O'Connell's very serious investigation into her disappearance must carry on. It's hard, but living in this Skeeter-less world is so much harder. This week, Matt and Eileen are joined by Ronnie Adrian, a comedian and performer at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in Los Angeles. You know him from his teams The Dragons, White Women, and Thunderstruck...but did Skeeter get struck by lightning? The three of them watched episode 11 of The Muppet Babies, "Fun Park Fantasies" and looked for clues. Along the way, they discussed men in suits, dolphin training, and maybe, just maybe, where Skeeter is. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

STILL NO SIGN OF SKEETER! Skeeter from Muppet Babies remains missing, which means Matt Manser and Eileen Mary O'Connell are continuing their very real and serious investigation into her disappearance by watching the "Gonzo's Video Show" episode (featuring an extensive parody of "Star Wars"). This week, Matt and Eileen are joined by Renee Colvert and Allegra Ringo, from the "Can I Pet Your Dog?" podcast. But will they ever get to pet Skeeter? They'll also discuss if Nanny should be replaced with Scott Baio, if there are open mikes for gymnastics, and the possible twist - has Skeeter actually been dead this whole time? For these and other questions (but probably no answers), listen to episode 10 of Skeeter-ial. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

THE INVESTIGATION CONTINUES! Matt Manser and Eileen Mary O'Connell have still not found Skeeter, the missing Muppet from "Muppet Babies." So they continue searching for clues in the 8th episode of the series, "What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up?" This time, Matt and Eileen are joined by Patrick Baker ("Regular Show," "The Presidential Dickerbook") and Geoffrey Golden ("Dream It! Screw It!"). Patrick and Geoffrey both write books for Devastator Press...but what's really devastating is the loss of Skeeter. In this episode, they urge Tom Selleck to join the investigation, discuss if Mango from "SNL" is a suspect, and, just maybe, they find Skeeter. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

WHERE. IS. SKEETER!? After watching five episodes, Matt Manser and Eileen Mary O'Connell STILL have no idea where Scooter's twin sister Skeeter is, and why she's never seen as an adult in any of the other Muppet movies or TV shows. And thus the journey continues! This week, Matt and Eileen are joined by Joan Ford, author of "Killing It" and writer for Nerdist.com. But could the "It" that's been killed be Skeeter!? The three of them watched episode 6 of 'Muppet Babies' titled "The Case of the Missing Chicken." Along the way they discussed Muppet reproduction, the logistics of Gonzo's nose, and maybe, JUST MAYBE, where Skeeter could be. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

SKEETER, WHERE ARE YOU?! After watching the first 4 episodes of "Muppet Babies" looking for clues, Matt Manser and Eileen Mary O'Connell still have no idea what happened to Skeeter, Scooter’s twin sister on “Muppet Babies” who is never seen as an adult Muppet. So the mystery continues! This week, Matt and Eileen are joined by Erik Charles Nielsen ('Community') and Ann Maddox ('The Real O'Neals'). The four of them watched episode 5 of 'Muppet Babies," titled "Scooter's Hidden Talent." Along th way they discussed Nanny's basement, whether or not Rowlf is a plagiarist, and maybe, just maybe, where Skeeter is. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

WHERE IS SKEETER? After watching the first three episodes of "Muppet Babies" looking for clues, Matt Manser and Eileen Mary O'Connell still have no idea what happened to Skeeter, Scooter's twin sister on "Muppet Babies" who is never seen as an adult Muppet. So the mystery continues! This week, Matt and Eileen are joined by Joey Clift of the podcasts "You Should Love Wrestling" and "25 Minutes of Silence," who has also written for Looney Tunes. (But what's really "Looney" is Skeeter's disappearance.) They watch the fourth episode of "Muppet Babies," titled "Raiders of the Lost Muppet," and discuss if Nanny hides booze in her socks, if Fozzie is in charge of a blood cult, and if Scooter and Skeeter are actually cows. And maybe, just maybe, they figure out what happened to Skeeter! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
