    Hot Frosty
    Mar 24 2025
    You might see the title for this episode and think to yourself: “are they really so negligent in their release schedule that they are putting out their Christmas episode in March?” To which I, Dan, say to you: no that’s ridiculous, we recorded this one in February. I’d say this isn’t going to become a trend but it has clearly become one. We watched Hot Frosty as the last of our Dealer’s Choice movies for the year and it was surprising in a lot of ways that we found surprising in its surprisingness. Does that mean it’s good? Clearly you have not listened to our show if you think that is the case. Join me (your tardy-ass editor), Audrey, and Jimmy as we talk about how this movie would been other different circumstances, the density of snow in relationship to flesh, the secret source of the Hulk’s anger, and man-shaped holes in what is possibly the dirtiest episode of our awful podcast to date. But just like that dirty, disgusting street snow it is still fun for the whole family. Special thanks to Asher’s dad’s band, Liquid Horizon, for debuting their music on our podcast. If you enjoy yacht rock by middle-aged divorced dads with multiple restraining orders, you can listen to their work at https://soundcloud.com/liquid-horizon-191307162/albums. Yes, this is a real thing, and it’s exactly what you think it is. Consider it the show’s Easter egg. You’re welcome, world. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Mr "T"s Be Somebody or Be Somebody's Fool

    Mr "T"s Be Somebody or Be Somebody's Fool
    Dec 30 2024
    Episode Description by ChatGP-T (a.k.a. Mr. T) “Hey, you! Yeah, YOU, fool! Stop scrolling and start listening, ‘cause the Supreme Podcasting Champs are back with an episode that’s stronger than a chain of gold and sharper than Mr. T’s barber!” This week, the Scraping the Vault crew dives headfirst into Be Somebody… or Be Somebody’s Fool!—the iconic 1984 motivational masterpiece from none other than me, Mr. T! And let me tell ya, these fools learned some real lessons this time. Here’s what went down: They learned how to spell Mother (hint: it’s all about love and respect, fool!). They discovered that anger ain’t bad if you can “use it, don’t lose it.” (Just like my patience with them—barely hangin’ on!) And the best way to eat potato salad? Straight off the fingers of Mr. T himself! Yeah, you heard that right. It’s delicious, nutritious, and a privilege, fool! But that’s not all. The hosts ask the big questions: Is Mr. T’s cello playing the greatest metaphor for perseverance ever put on VHS? (Spoiler: Yes, it is!) Can breakdancing truly heal a nation? (Only if you’re spinning with the heart of a champion!) Why would Calvin Klein and Gloria Vanderbilt want your name on their jeans? (They wouldn’t, fool, so don’t wear theirs!) So, grab a bowl of respect, sprinkle on some self-worth, and tune in as these podcasting maniacs unravel my wisdom one absurd segment at a time. But don’t get it twisted: if you ain’t laughing AND learning, then you better rewind, fool, because the only thing worse than missing this episode is disrespecting your mother. “Scraping the Vault—where fools become champions, one ridiculous episode at a time.” Now quit wasting time! Download it, stream it, or I pity you for missin’ out! Peace, respect, and potato salad.

  • Mickey's Christmas Carol

    Mickey's Christmas Carol
    Dec 3 2024
    Happy Holidays! For some of us, November 1st is the start of the Christmas season. For others, it starts the day after thanksgiving. For even others, it should never start. One of the latter is Ebenezer Scrooge (AKA Dan's character. The one he has been playing for years. Tune in to The supreme resort to learn about the real Dan). Will Dan enjoy this holiday classic? Does Jimmy blindly gush over anything? Does Audrey do a surprisingly good Owen Wilson impression? The answers to all these questions should be obvious, but you'll have to tune in to find out. Enjoy!

  • Little Mermaid 3

    Little Mermaid 3
    Sep 3 2024
    What can we say, these aren't getting any better. This movie was released just after John Lasseter hugged the straight to video sequels away.. This one does not carry any future plot, it does not fill the characters out in any way, and perhaps even takes away from some of the character relationships from the original film. Listen as Audrey, Dan and Jimmy try to make sense of this "tale" Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Cinderella 3: A Twist in Time

    Cinderella 3: A Twist in Time
    Jun 5 2024
    We have fully evolved into a Harry Potter Podcast. Don't know when it happened, but it did. Think about it, Cinderella 3 has magic, wands, fairies, an evil person who you can't say their name (mostly cause they don't have one) and Audrey and Jimmy happen to know a lot about HP. Anyway, this movie is a masterpiece. I don't care what Dan says. Listen as Dan, Jimmy and Audrey explore the themes and details of this 2007 straight to video (and our hearts) moovee Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Fox and the Hound 2

    Fox and the Hound 2
    May 16 2024
    We're back!!! Fox and the Hound was a movie. The source material for that movie was dark! The sequel, Fox and the Hound 2 has absolutely nothing to do with the original film or the source material. It was like someone came up with a long episode of some Disney channel show about two cis white twin boys and they were like, we could make this into a movie, what characters could we use that have some sort of existing IP? And, thus, Fox and the Hound 2. Hear Audrey, Dan and Jimmy explore the source material juxtaposed with the synopsis of the actual tragedy that is this not at all awaited sequel.
