Academy Award nominee and star of the new HBO show True Detective Night Country John Hawkes and horror movie icon Rodney Eastman joined Mark and Hannah for some spirited conversation and music in this classic Dark Mark Show from 2019. John is someone who has been in so many big movies, but says he can walk the street and go unnoticed much of the time. He describes how he was able to stay awake while acting with Daniel Day-Lewis In Lincoln, what it was like to be nominated for an Oscar for his performance in Winter's Bone (wait until you hear the freebies he got), how he sacrificed his body to play a man with polio in The Sessions and what it felt like to not be nominated for an Oscar for that performance after everyone thought he was a shoo in, what took the Deadwood movie so long to finally happen, what it was like to be on the set of Northern Exposure when he was starting out, the preconceptions of being an actor who also sings and so much more Rodney is known for A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 and 4 as well as the remake of I Spit on your Grave. He talked about getting the script for I Spit on your Grave with a different title and the depths he went to to play such a despicable character. He was a heavy metal loving teenager living in East LA when being an extra in an Afterschool Special led to being one of the Dream Warriors. He recounts his crush on Patricia Arquette, how cool Laurence Fishburne was, how he passed out while being tongue tied by Freddy Kruger and being a teen heartthrob, so much so that he was named one of the most eligible bachelors in Hollywood, Rodney and John also sang 2 songs acoustically, one from an upcoming musical play they wrote with someone named Wham-O (!)

Content Warning: In this episode we discuss the deaths of two children; if you'd rather not hear about that, please skip this episode. We're going back to the 1960s and 1970s, where kids ran around and played in the street and hooked weird toys up to their garden hoses during the summer. One of those toys was the Water Wiggle, a toy that turned your hose into a chaotic missile of spraying water, wildly whipping hose, and getting bonked in the head with the goofy-looking plastic head of the toy. Danger and excitement abounded - unless the head came off. Join us as we discuss toy safety, lawn games (especially Lawn Darts), and how the Wham-O toy company is responsible for your childhood.

According to the History Channel, the Frisbee story started in 1871 when William Frisbie opened the Frisbie Pie Company. Students from Connecticut universities were soon throwing the tin pie plate to each other, yelling “Frisbie!” as they did so. In 1958, Wham-O (the company responsible for the Hula-Hoop, Super Ball and Water Wiggle) changed its name to the Frisbee disc (with two “ee”s at the end). By aggressively marketing Frisbee-playing as a new sport, Wham-O sold over 100 million discs by 1977. In 2023, while neither frisbee golf nor Ultimate frisbee have yet to become Olympic sports, both games played with frisbees are popular across the world, including in Asia, where our guest today will shed some light on the two sports, the itinerant character of many game players, and how you can make it a part of your trip to the region.

He pulls up next to the guy in the dredlocks and the 1970s Winnebago, winds up, and let's it rip. The pros are turning their heads as the kid is showing up at the biggest turnaments in the world. He's a little bit Tiger, but maybe even more John Daly. The disc-golf world is a brand new thing and Monnin is out to conquer it.

It's 1958 and America is rife with fads. Everyone's looking to make a quick buck with the next big thing, and Wham-O's struck gold with the hula hoop. But the hula hoop has a long, and sometimes sordid history. At the heart of America's love affair with the hula hoop is the often-forgotten pop-culture ICON Joan Anderson, who first introduced the hoop to Wham-O, only to be written out of history. Co-director of the documentary ‘Hula Girl', Amy Hill, is here to tell Joan's tale. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads. Its time to pick up where things left off as Tim Williams is joined by the "Hill Valley Save the Clock Tower Committee" (aka the Co-Host Panel) as they continue their discussion on the "Back to the Future" Trilogy for this episode of the 80's Flick Flashback! Panel Includes Charlie Cotter, Chad Sheppard, and Laramy & Bethany Wells ("Moving Panels" Podcast) Pre-Recorded Segments from previous co-hosts include Ron West, Jeff Atkins, and Gerry D. ("Totally Rad Christmas" Podcast) Here are some additional behind the scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode: The first film had had slightly more subtle placement deals with various companies including Toyota, Pepsi and Miller, but in the second, these deals started to take an active place in the story. Pepsi (with the fictional ‘Pepsi Perfect' variety) is even more prominent in the Café 80s, and there are Black and Decker products both real (the “antique” Dustbuster) and fictional (the food hydrating machine). Pizza Hut, meanwhile, was eager not just to show its logo on the pizza that gets hydrated, but actually provided a ‘professional food stylist' to the production, to ensure that said pizza looked as appetizing as possible onscreen. A running gag throughout the entire trilogy: every time Marty goes into the diner location for the first time (that's Lou's in 1955, Cafe '80s in 2015 and the saloon in 1885), he orders a beverage that he never actually gets to drink any of before being interrupted by a “Hey, McFly!” In Part III Marty notices the name of ‘Frisbie', an actual pie company, and presumably thinks it's just a coincidence that the name on the flat tray is similar to ‘Frisbee', the flying disc. Of course, the two are actually linked – the pie company gave the colloquial name to the disc-throwing game, before the Wham-O company trademarked the slightly altered ‘Frisbee' in the 1950s.

"Steady" Ed Headrick (PDGA #001) is the founding father of organized disc golf after quitting his executive position at Wham-O in 1976 and founding both the DGA and the PDGA, but little is known about Ted Smethers (PDGA #1159), the man who worked under Headrick and later took the reins of the PDGA to take the pro tour and rules organization to the next level. This talk with Smethers reveals a power struggle between one man and the opposing desires of the players that resulted in the seeds of the modern Professional Disc Golf Association.

Academy Award nominee John Hawkes and horror movie icon Rodney Eastman joined Mark and Hannah for some spirited conversation and musicJohn is someone who has been in so many big movies, but says he can walk the street and go unnoticed much of the time. He describes how he was able to stay awake while acting with Daniel Day-Lewis In Lincoln, what it was like to be nominated for an Oscar for his performance in Winter's Bone (wait until you hear the freebies he got), how he sacrificed his body to play a man with polio in The Sessions and what it felt like to not be nominated for an Oscar for that performance after everyone thought he was a shoo in, what took the Deadwood movie so long to finally happen, what it was like to be on the set of Northern Exposure when he was starting out, the preconceptions of being an actor who also sings and so much moreRodney is known for A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 and 4 as well as the remake of I Spit on your Grave. He talked about getting the script for I Spit on your Grave with a different title and the depths he went to to play such a despicable character. He was a heavy metal loving teenager living in East LA when being an extra in an Afterschool Special led to being one of the Dream Warriors. He recounts his crush on Patricia Arquette, how cool Laurence Fishburne was, how he passed out while being tongue tied by Freddy Kruger and being a teen heartthrob, so much so that he was named one of the most eligible bachelors in Hollywood. Rodney and John also sang 2 songs acoustically, one from an upcoming musical play they wrote with someone named Wham-O (!)

A simple toy, so basic in its construction, became one of the most defining fads of the 1950's. Originally created by Arthur K. Melin and Richard Knerr, the hula hoop craze took full effect in the late 1958 when Wham-O, a toy company in California, created a plastic version for the general public to enjoy. Through smart marketing to women, men, kids and basically anyone who wanted to give them a spin, hula hoops became all the rage in 1958. By the end of the year, 25 million of them were sold and by 1960, sales reached in excess of 100 million units.

On this date in 1957, inventor Fred Morrison sold the rights to his flying disc to the Wham-O company. Here are some things you may not have known about the Frisbee. Morrison said the idea came to him while he and his future wife, Lucille, were tossing a cake pan back and forth on a beach in 1938. Another person offered them 25 cents for the pan. As the pan cost just 5 cents, Morrison figured there might be a business opportunity there. Following World War II, Morrison designed a more aerodynamically stable disc he called the Whirlo-Way. In 1948, he and a business partner began selling the discs at fairs and shows. In 1955, he designed a new model, called the Pluto Platter, which is the design he sold to Wham-O. A few months after buying the design, the company decided to change the name to Frisbee, after discovering that’s what college students in the Northeast called the Pluto Platter. The term Frisbee was derived from the Frisbie Pie Company, whose empty pie tins were tossed around the Yale University campus. Morrison described the name as “a horror. Terrible.” In 1964, the Frisbee was redesigned to increase the thickness of the rim, which made it much more controllable. After the redesign, sales of the disc soared. A class of sports was invented using the Frisbee, including Frisbee Golf and Ultimate Frisbee, among others. Although people use the name generically, the name Frisbee remains a trademark of the Wham-O company. The company was known for mailing reminder letters to newspaper writers who didn’t capitalize the name, along with a new Frisbee. The year after Wham-O bought the rights to the Frisbee, they introduced the Hula Hoop. The company introduced the Slip ’N’ Slide in 1961, followed by the Super Ball in 1965. According to Lamar Hunt, the late owner of the Kansas City Chiefs, the Super Ball’s name was the inspiration for the name of the Super Bowl. The company also marketed Silly String, the Hacky Sack and the Boogie Board. Our question: What type of action stabilizes a Frisbee in flight? Today is World Freedom Day in Taiwan and South Korea, and Bounty Day in the Pitcairn Islands. It’s unofficially National Pie Day, Measure Your Feet Day, and National Handwriting Day. It’s the birthday of U.S. Founding Father John Hancock, who was born in 1737; painter Edouard Manet, who was born in 1832; and Princess Caroline of Monaco, who turns 60. Because our topic happened before 1960, we’ll spin the wheel to pick a year at random. This week in 1972, the top song in the U.S. was “American Pie” by Don McLean. The No. 1 movie was “The Cowboys,” while the novel “Wheels” by Arthur Hailey topped the New York Times Bestsellers list. Weekly question: In the song “American Pie,” who is referred to as “The Jester”?

We'll have the correct answer on Friday’s episode. Links Follow us on Twitter, Facebook or our website.

You can thank Wham-O's SuperBall for inspiring the name of the NFL's Big Game (buh) and you can thank the fear and the Soviet launch of Sputnik aroused in America for the invention of SuperBall!
