While discussing MFC, the Movin' Right Along podcast starts a theory that Big Bird gave everyone chocolate covered birdseed, because he's naive enough to think non-birds would like it.
Joe Hennes: I agree, especially when birdseed milkshake is on the menu at Hooper's, there's more than one customer buying that.
Anthony Strand: I'm not so sure.
Ryan Roe: There's other birds on Sesame Street.
Anthony: But also, anyone can drink a birdseed milkshake, you don't have to be a bird.
Joe: But you have to like birdseed to wanna purchase it.
Anthony: But you don't think Mike was out there buying birdseed milkshakes just to see what they tasted like? (Ryan laughs)
Joe: I mean, maybe.
Ryan: Just to clarify, Anthony, you just made a reference to Mike, a Sesame human that no one remembers. (Joe and Anthony crack up)
Anthony: Yes!
Joe: David Rudman remembers him. (referencing when he quizzed Jeff Dunn and Cookie on who worked in Hooper's, and Cookie suddenly said "How about Mike?")
Ryan: We already mentioned Maria, Susan, Bob, and David, so you went for Mike.
Anthony: Well, remember when we did ToughPigs' 50 in 50 Sesame articles? For season 22, I watched 44 street stories from season 22, and brother, Mike was all over the place! So that diseased my brain, and now I think of Mike as one of the main guys.
Ryan: Great. I'll have to go watch some good Mike episodes.
Anthony: I've definitely seen Mike in more stories than I've seen Nina. Is that her name?
Ryan: Yeah, Nina is one of the current cast members.
Joe: You would've seen more Nina episodes if they were still making 130 episodes a year.
Ryan: Well, that's the other thing, Nina doesn't have as many opportunities to be in street stories.
Anthony: I'm sure Nina's a lovely person, don't get me wrong.
Ryan: Well, now I want you to write a ToughPigs article comparing and contrasting Nina and Mike.
Joe: Just write The Oral History of Mike, Anthony. (everyone cracks up)
