y-Doo! Adventures: The Mystery Map was a one-time television special that told a very groovy mystery about the kids’ search for the treasure of Gnarlybeard The Pirate. What makes it unique? For the first and only time, the gang was entirely played by puppets. Puppetry expert and host of the Ain’t Dey Beauts podcast Jack Read joins Ethan for what is almost certainly the most in-depth discussion of this scooby-doo puppet show that has ever been had by two adults. Plus, they share their pitches for a new scooby-doo show, rate the various velmas over the years, and Ethan vastly underestimates Jack’s knowledge of Fraggle Rock! You don’t want to miss this episode!

Self-proclaimed Opera Expert Daniel Foster was very excited to cover this episode of The Scooby-Doo Show only to very quickly realize it had absolutely nothing to do with the performing arts. Still he was gracious enough to stick around for a now infamous episode of Heavy Meddle, in which you can witness in real time his gradual disillusionment with Scooby-Doo, the podcast, and most definitely it’s host. How much of this is a bit and how much is reality? Who knows!
Stick around to hear Daniel explain the tv show Seinfeld, Ethan explain the basic laws of physics, and for no one to explain why the ghostly gondolier was already a ghost before he died! PLUS a groundbreaking round of Jinkies Or Stinkies! It’s a real barnburner!
