Full transcript of The Fifth Annual Splooshies Awards.

0:04KT: Skol! Prost! Cheers, friends and lovers! Get comfortable, or even get sexy, cause both exist in the FYR world. Welcome, welcome! Friends and lovers. And also thank you so much for being a part of the nastiest little podcast that could, the For Your Reference podcast. Join us as we celebrate five years of the podcast.

0:33KT: There's a lot of salaciousness. There's a lot of frivolity and we're very excited to get into it. And we already know who's going to win tonight.

0:41Oti: we do.

0:43KT: Don't let the others tell you, don't let the others fool you because their best work is a light pack. We print and you mic jack.

0:51Oti: If

0:54KT: If anything, the reason why we're urbanly late is so we could make that reference.

1:00Oti: Who

1:01KT: you? Um, again, thank you, friends and lovers. Usually we will do like an intro compilation, but honestly, I think everyone's sick of hearing me already.

1:11KT: Um, and also it's not all just about Oti and I, um, we very fondly. Think about pod film Twitter. Um, and it's so nice to have a lot of the OGs that we'll see on the red carpet, as well as our VIP patrons, um, in the exclusive lounge as well. Um, but what I wanted to do instead of doing an intro compilation was share this five year moment.

1:39KT: With our podcast birthday twinnies. And that is the Book of Lies, Sunni and Brandi, as well as Em from Verbal Diorama. Are you ready? Also friends and lovers, if you're new, um, first off, sit on our Jupiter's cock, but also Oti hasn't heard any of these clips.

1:56Oti: No.

1:57KT: Um, how are you feeling about hearing our pod twinnies?

3:15Oti: was nice.

3:22Oti: You said it.

3:23KT: Well, speaking of witty and the most beautiful of beautiful again, our pod twinnies and we say pod twinnies for those that aren't learned or haven't joined in our delicious podcast journey from Twitter, um, February, 2019 is when we started the podcast.

3:48Oti: Yeah.

3:49KT: um, and also, um, uh, started in February of 2019 as well, but let's hear from Mrs. Keanu, otherwise known as Em.

3:59Guests: Hi, it's Em from Verbal Diorama and I can't believe I'm here with all the friends and lovers, the Splooshies Awards, to celebrate five amazing years of the wonderful For Your Reference podcast, KT, Oti. We started our journeys in podcasting the same time, so I feel like I've been there with you every step of the way watching lovingly and adoringly from halfway across the world.

4:42Oti: hmm.

4:43KT: Um, it's so exciting and it's such a great time to, you know, come together and to celebrate. Um, you know, if you look at the timeline, we're not on time, but you know, call Oti Ja Rule, call me Ashanti cause we always on time. We need to appeal to the demographics Oti,

5:05Oti: Oh, wow.

5:07KT: so I'm going to get into some mini Splooshies, otherwise known as stats for the podcast. So like we mentioned, we started the For Your Reference podcast in February of 2019, um, we up to the timeline of, you know, where we are 296 episodes.

5:27Oti: Ooh,

5:28KT: Yeah, we're getting there.

5:29KT: Um, and we've also done a 300 episode friends and lovers. So what are we to do for our 300? We already, we already did the thing.

5:37Oti: Yeah. We'll, we'll need to. Do you have Spartacus or something? I don't know.

5:41KT: Well, yeah, we'll wait for Asher. Yeah. Um, so in regards to our fifth year of the podcast, it went from March, 2023 to February, 2024. Don't worry about the upload date. Um, and we span 15 countries as well as five decades. So, so we've been traveling, we've been traveling, um, in regards to episodes that we released again, mathematically, as we know, a calendar year has 52 weeks and we keep releasing more episodes as well as more reviews in episodes.

6:20KT: Do you want to guess how many episodes we

6:25Oti: Uh, 60,

6:29Oti: 71

6:30KT: We did 71 podcasts, five of them were bonus or specials, 26 interviews, 27. If you include Molly's one, since it was in March and we're wrapping up where we are. Um, we did 21 full reviews, which, you know, we'd like to do a lot more, but we'll see how we go.

6:49KT: We did 19 Ref Maxes, and Ref Max is our combined review format for TV film, essentially screen on screening requests that we get for a view, um, all up in the year. We covered 112 TV shows and films. So if we're looking busted, dusty, musty, rusty, we definitely earned that friends and lovers. Uh, 32 TV shows.

7:20KT: 80 movies, 64 from the United States of America, 11 from Britain. don't know. I don't know what was going on there.

7:31Oti: Fancy one you are.

7:32KT: Yeah.

7:33Oti: I guess so.

7:35KT: Um, 17 from Australia.

7:38Oti: Oh, look at that.

7:39KT: yeah, five from New Zealand, four from South Africa, um, two from South Korea, one from Iraq, one from Lebanon, one from Switzerland, one from Germany. One from

7:54Oti: It's sad that it's only one.

7:55KT: you would have said that anyway, even if I had pointed you for any queue, you would have said Kenya. Anyway, we did Uganda as well. One in Singapore, one in Finland, one in France. One in the 1980s, two in the 1990s, one in the two thousands, five in the 2010s and 103 in the 2020s. And most of those would have been for the year of release, whether it was 2022 or 2020, 2023, 2024.

8:24KT: And we revisited two review episodes that we've done, uh, Succession, which has come to an end, friends and lovers eat upon, feast upon the full review, non serious, OG daddies, um, full reviews that we have, because we're not going to cover the last season, I believe, unless Jesse Armstrong strongly, you know, wants us to cover it.

8:50KT: Um, and then also John Wick: Chapter 4, one of the best movies of 2023. you guess? What the most popular episode was, and this will make you very happy because it's your favorite.

9:06Oti: I wouldn't say it's my favorite, but I guess it will be Top Boy.

9:09KT: Why is it not your favorite? Every time I ask you what your favorite review episode is,

9:13Oti: Oh, my favorite. Yes. Top Boy is definitely my favorite review episode. I thought my favorite. I don't even know what I thought. Yeah. Okay.

9:22KT: Okay. Well, that's fine. So, um, so interesting to cover off the, I think it's nice to reflect, you know? Um, but I think, I think it's time to go into the red carpet.

9:37Oti: Wee!

9:38KT: it was nice to see Sunni and Brandi.

9:40KT: It was nice to see Em, um, but we do have a reserve space for the VIPs, for our patrons, for our most beloved, don't get jealous cause you can be in the club too, patrons. Is that yo, yo, yo, Kolby?

9:57Oti: Oh, I think it is.

9:58KT: it is.

9:59Guests: Yo, yo, yo, what up and happiest of sploosh birthdays to the For Your Reference household. Wow, five years of frivolity, innuendo, delectable conversation and reverence for the reference. KT, Oti, I love you guys and can't wait to witness what the next five years has in store. Happy Splooshies, my beautiful friends and lovers.

10:25KT: Wow.

10:27Oti: Love Kolby.

10:28KT: Like literally, I feel like we have to pay him a cameo performance because that was, that was very Kolby. That was very us. Um, and I guess since we're all loving on each other, Kolby teaches me to be open and to learn to love stupid shit, respectfully, or just like goofy shit. Maybe is the better way to

10:51Oti: Yeah, I don't love for power and ghosts also patron

10:58KT: patron as well.

10:59Oti: he

11:00KT: Um, so it's nice to have him, um, open up the spot for the red carpet. Speaking of the OGs, I think Ben was also our, um, second patron, but this is our busty busty boys, shout outs to the FilmBusters and in particular representing the FilmBusters tonight.

11:19KT: We have Ben,

11:22Oti: Ooh, what is Ben?

11:27Guests: Oti, it's me! I made it! Thank you so much for extending the Splooshies by one week. Just so that I could complete my short film. Complete? I ain't no bit near completing it. To partake in the Splooshies by sending this voice memo. You had nothing, that had nothing to do with it. It was nothing to do with it, was it?

11:47Guests: It was just that you guys couldn't get organized in time and I couldn't get organized in time and it was the perfect storm. So here I am sending you a voice memo. No rap this year, unfortunately, but all the sentiments and all the love from last year's rap are still within me. I just burnt the candle at both ends making a short film, which I'm going to reveal details now.

12:08Guests: The short film that I am making is about the rise. Of For Your Reference. You will not believe who I have cast to play the two of you. Do you wanna take a guess? Do you wanna take a guess? I'm gonna tell you. Oti, Christopher Walken. Christopher Walken is gonna play Oti. Don't ask me about the logistics.

12:34Guests: Don't ask me about the logistics. I can't see anything controversial there. KT, you know who's playing you? You won't believe this one. Robert De Niro. Don't ask me about the logistics. I told you, don't ask me. There will be no controversy about this. This is evolved filmmaking, trust me. When you see the finished product, you will love it.

12:54Guests: I am sure that when that film comes out, the two of you will watch it and have nothing but good. things to say. You'll find nothing to pick apart, analyze, destroy, criticize. I'm just fucking with you guys. I've gone mad. I've gone completely mad. Thank you two for keeping me sane. I hope you have an amazing evening.

13:15Guests: Thanks for all the good times. So much love. And doing what you're doing. It's

13:19Guests: been another great year for you guys. I ain't even joking much love.

13:24Oti: I lost. So Nice.

13:26KT: How do you feel about, um, first off, Ben, I do not believe you acquired or successfully signed off our life rights. So I hope you have a moti and a matey. Unless you signed the both of our life

13:43Oti: Oh, he's gonna meet Johnny as to hell. Um,

13:48KT: how did, how did you feel about the casting?

13:51Oti: Oh, I'd take it.

13:53KT: Do you give Walken vibes?

13:54Oti: No, but I hate when people swoon over just the mere fact that he says his name.

14:01KT: mere fact that you

14:05Oti: grumpy energy wherever I go.

14:07KT: I'll be in my grumpy energy wherever I

14:13Oti: Jeez.

14:14KT: Yeah, you're welcome. Sorry, Ben. We're recasting.

14:18KT: We're reshooting. Um, the next patron that we have in the VIP lounge, who will forever be in our VIP hearts, is the ever love and lauded Julio from The Contrarians.

14:34Guests: Hello, KT and Oti. Uh, this is Julio from The Contrarians.

14:37Guests: and sadly I'm stuck in traffic. I'm hoping I make it in time. Uh, if not for the red carpet, at least for the Rupert Pupkin opening monologue, I heard that it's a wing of the auditorium is already packed. So I might just have to settle for sitting with the Saltburn crew all the way in the back.

14:52Guests: Um, whatever the case. What a year for For Your Reference. I'm still waiting for the unpublished joint interview with Margot Robbie and Cillian Murphy. I heard that Christopher Nolan was also supposed to be there, but he walked out when KT told him that Aaron Sorkin was a better writer. Um, still, the published interviews have been a delight.

15:09Guests: And I'm looking forward to another 12 months of KT triggering film bros and Oti agreeing with me. Oh, I think I see Denzel old man walking to the venue. I'm going to ask my Uber to stop and pick him up. Uh, hopefully I'll see you in a little bit.

15:26Oti: Wow.

15:28KT: Um, I am catching up on The Contrarians and congratulations on 200 episodes. They did Kill Bill: Volume 1 for Episode 199 and they did Kill Bill: Volume 2 for Episode 200. And it's so interesting because they talk about how Kill Bill is his fourth film, but he had the goal and he was such a fucking wanker that he started to reference his own films at his fourth film.

15:53Oti: and

15:54KT: the fact that Julio was able to lay a very specific references to our podcast appeals to my Tarantino wanky sensibilities.

16:04Oti: I bet.

16:06KT: That Denzel old man walking got me.

16:10Oti: Yeah, people are still coming for you for that.

16:12KT: Those handrails are tricky, Oti.

16:15KT: Oh, I think we need one more on the red carpet since Julio isn't there yet to get us satiated before we get into some awards.

16:25KT: This is Brent from Hustle Motherfucking Hustle, the Home Video

16:30Guests: Hell yeah. Oh, hey, is that? Oh, shit. Yo, man, every time I come out here, there's something crazy going on. What's happening, everybody? Brent from the Home Video Hustle here once again, celebrating the Splooshies. Celebrating five years of giving you some references. For Your Reference, even. I don't know if I'm getting no Splooshies, but I'll tell you what though, I'm gonna be giving out some Splooshies if you know what I'm saying.

16:53Guests: Hustle motherfucking, hustle everybody. Hey look, it's been some good stuff this year. It's been some bad stuff this year. But we gonna find out who gonna get these awards this year, right now. We ain't messing around no more. Red carpet baby, I'm out here fly. Super fly. Looking like Shaft, Willie Dynamite on the scene.

17:12Guests: I don't know, a lot of you youngins don't get those references, but guess what? You got streaming. Turn off 90 Day Fiancé and go watch some real ass movies. Celebrate, it's Black History Month because I'm recording this, motherfucker. Like, go watch something black. And then, go listen to For Your Reference podcast.

17:37KT: We're in here, we've been here, it's past Black History Month, it's Women's History Month, so it's still Black Women's History Month. But every month is Black History

17:46Oti: Yeah, and go watch something black. Yeah.

17:53KT: Um, well, I would hope that the award we're about to present reflects that. Uh, friends or lovers, thank you again.

18:02KT: If you are new to our Splooshies Awards, we do cover a lot. Um, and we try our best to nominate again. We've covered so much. Over the past year, um, but I'm pretty sure your fave still wouldn't have won. Um, we're going to get into our awards category. Shout out to our patrons that have contributed, um, and a part of the Splooshies Awards Committee.

18:30KT: The Firm Foundation Award is popular, worth all of the praise, and we are all most welcome.

18:39Guests: Laying the groundwork, laying the groundwork for the story. Surely in your mind, You could see where the story would possibly go. And in that, give you the excitement of wanting to watch farther to see how it develops. But that's like saying you've laid the foundation for a house and the house isn't done yet.

18:57Guests: You can't praise that. Man, once you've laid down the half, the foundation of the house, the house is pretty much done. That's the hardest thing to do.

19:09Guests: Join me on Oti's Architectural 101. Okay. If Oti is messaging you to build your houses, just, just, just block him. And this is why you're not allowed on the Twitter. And as we love a firm foundation.

19:27KT: You know, the interesting thing about that clip is it's four years worth of reacting to it. And by the fifth year, I'm like this guy.

19:36Oti: he speaks facts. Okay.

19:42KT: So we're going to get into the nominees for Firm Foundation in order of episode release. John Wick: Chapter 4. Last of Us, New Jack City, Talk to Me, the OG, Johnny Depp's not even here by the way, the 1971 Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

20:19Oti: of Us. And

20:23KT: And accepting the award for Last of Us tonight is Sad Daddy Oti.

20:34Oti: What can I say about Last of Us that's not been said already? It took, it didn't follow the game to the book, it took creative lessons which gave us brilliant episodes in between.

20:47Oti: And it's one of those shows that I cannot wait for season two. And it can only get stronger. Ooh, the performances of Pedro Pascal and Bella.

20:57KT: Congratulations, you're the first off the ranks.

21:01Oti: I know I am. Well,

21:04KT: I guess to, um, cool us down or I guess to, you know, satiate my umbrage for not winning the first award. Let's continue on to the red carpet. Um, usually our red carpet is for friends and lovers that have guested on our podcast or we've guested on their podcast, but because it was our five years.

21:24KT: We kind of opened it up to everyone. So we've got a lot, like, we've got a lot of lovely messages throughout the night. Friends and lovers. This one, uh, OGs and they've definitely guested or we've collaborated in some sort of capacity and how's your, how's your nose feeling Oti? A bit of nosebleed?

21:44Oti: nosebleed?

22:36Oti: That was nice.

22:49Oti: to

24:00KT: Yeah. So if you're getting those residual archives.

24:03Oti: Yeah, I've been out here promoting you

24:07KT: Um, yeah, but also like the old feeling, the feeling person in me, like, I feel sad because like, usually we'd be able to chat all the time, but obviously life changes, have, you know, different adventures, which is very exciting, but, um, like I miss all of respond to my messages.

24:30Oti: Um,

24:32KT: The next one is so much fun.

24:34KT: He kind of shook the carpet last year when he made a what's this then slot reference. This is Dustin from Sandman Stories Presents.

24:45Guests: Hello friends and lovers. I've snuck into the red carpet Splooshies over here in far, far western Australia, also known as the United States. For those who don't know, I'm a bit of a nerd. Last time I came through these parts, I gave a quick rundown of the etymology of movies and cinema, and about them being the same thing, moving pictures. Well, today, as we strolled down the red carpet, I got to wondering, where does the red carpet come from? The earliest we have is from ancient Greek text, where a hero returning home is greeted by his wife with a red carpet going up to the entry of his house. He was worried about this, because he thought it was reserved for the gods.

25:24Guests: Fast forward to the 1820s, and the American president was greeted by a red carpet going up to the White House. And in the 1900s, the Pullman Company started using them to welcome customers. Finally, in the 1920s, Hollywood took up the custom. Oh, okay, okay. All right, I'm getting hustled along now, I've taken up enough of their precious time according to the ushers.

25:45Guests: Just one thing before I go into the sunset, KT and Oti are a breath of fresh air in the movie world. They interview with questions I want answered, and with a deep background knowledge of cinema and various cultures around the world. If you need a film reviewed, These two friends and lovers are the top choice. Thank you two for having me around and I hope y'all stick around for a long time. Credit to Wikipedia for my research. Okay, okay. I'm going. Alright. See y'all next year.

26:13KT: Thank you, Dustin.

26:15Oti: background voice.

26:18KT: I know as soon as I dusted, as soon as he dropped your like,

26:24Oti: yeah, uh, I've been inadequate now. Come on. you're always

26:31KT: Oti, you're always my number one. You're always my number one.

26:35KT: Um, you're my number one if you pardon the pun.

26:38Guests: We are For Your Reference for a reason, everything is based off our frame of reference. So this played a really big part in my childhood, religion that is. So Moses and all that, I grew up in all that stuff. So it's just suffice to say that it was only logical for it to Sort of bleed out a bit of this episode, if you'll pardon the river pun, if you're just dipping your toe, if you'll pardon the pun, I guess he didn't realize he was a supporting character.

27:08Guests: If you'll pardon the pun, it really moves together in a symphony. If you'll pardon the pun, as, as you say, it was very self contained if you'll pardon the pun and he goes into a drawer. And you find a purple dildo, as most common garden varieties have, if you'll pardon the pun.

27:29KT: We had to end it with the Archer reference.

27:31Oti: reference. Of course.

27:32KT: Rest in peace, Jessica Walter.

27:34Oti: Walter.

27:36KT: Oh, okay. Pardon the Pun category. How dare you surprise me with so much quality. And the nominees for Pardon the Pun and 2024 5th Annual Splooshies Awards. Quantum Cowboys, Mad Heidi, Red, White and Brass, Cobweb and Ted. And the winner, for Pardon the Pun, goes to Quantum Cowboys. And accepting this award tonight is Lily KT Gladstone.

28:18Oti: You reckon? Okay!

28:22KT: um, this, like, if you've been paying attention, this was going to win an award. anyway, because we're constantly praising this film. This film deserves constant praise. Um, and it really breaks through the innovation of what filmmaking can be.

28:42KT: And it's also a reminder that we're all babies and we should let the cookers cook. you want to get back to the red carpet Oti? We've got a lot of OG day

28:55Oti: That's.

28:56KT: Um, again, pod Twitter, indie podcast, all of that sort of love. We have Nik, LizeeAngel.

29:06Guests: Hey y'all, it's Nik Manning of LizeeAngel and formerly Black Girls Do Stuff Too, coming all the way from Austin, Texas, just to celebrate For Your Reference Splooshies. And I'm especially excited to celebrate five years of no holds barred, Black and Brown centered discussion of TV, film, and all other media.

29:23Guests: Thank you so much for doing what y'all are doing and I can't wait to see where y'all will be in five more years. See you on the red carpet family. Love you.

29:32KT: And you know, Nik's looking good. She looking good. Hopefully she brought some food for us. You know, we have friends and lovers that say they're going to come to Sydney, Australia all the time, but I'm waiting on Nik cause she keeps promising to come over and cook us food.

29:48Oti: Oh, yeah.

29:51KT: And also to connect and we love you.

29:54KT: Um, speaking of connecting and, and maybe the opposite of loving, we have my nemesis who we haven't seen since the first or second Splooshies Awards red carpet, and maybe it's for a reason.

30:10Guests: How long? Five years? That's like 50 in podcast years. Most podcasts disappear in the first few episodes, so to go this long with consistency is actually quite a big achievement. You know, I genuinely look forward to seeing them grow even bigger, become more ambitious, and fill a space that I think very much needs their voices.

30:33Guests: Normally I'd say something funny about Twitter beef for how Vikings was actually bad at this point, but this is a special occasion and, you know, our relationship has really improved over the years, despite our intense podcast rivalry. Next year might be different though, let's see how Avatar pans out, there might be something juicy to feud over in there.

30:54KT: We love Avatar. So the ball's in your court, Tom. Look at me saying nemesis, nemesis. And he's so sweet and lovely,

31:02Oti: Mm hmm.

31:03KT: also when he said he was about to say something, I'm disappointed because he was saying we were filling in holes. You'll all have holes.

31:14Oti: Ah, again, Mallory Archer.

31:18KT: Speaking of tasty mouth holes into my ear holes, we have our friends and lovers from

31:25Guests: What's going on guys, it is your boy Joey. Thanks And Aubrey. And Marquee Mark Markellis from SoWizard Podcast. We just wanted to send a special shout out to KT and Oti over at For Your Reference Podcast. Congratulations guys on five years of podcasting. You're halfway there. You're almost caught us, but you got a little ways to go, but we are super proud of you guys.

31:51Guests: Awesome job. Awesome show. You guys are killing it. Keep it up. Year 10 is coming up. You can feel it. You can feel it, guys, right? It's in your bones. Yeah. Friends and lovers, congratulations. You guys are amazing. Uh, your show is. Offering the type of content that you don't get a lot and having that kind of originality is very very cool I love your show.

32:16Guests: I love the content. I love the interviews. You guys are doing an amazing job. Please keep it up Congratulations guys. We love you. Keep it up

32:26KT: Come through production.

32:28Oti: Fonks. Shut

32:30KT: Step your pussy up. Um, I love SoWizard. They're my go to. Um, they have their saying where they say, like, pod before life. Um, because it was a whole shady Twitter thing. Um, but anyway, they've never skipped a week Oti, as we stumble into consciousness after a month, but they, um, they never miss a week.

32:54KT: I love everything they bring. I love hearing about their stuff. Cinema experiences. Um, cause they do it in a very interesting way. I don't, other non-SoWizard people, please don't DM me about your cinema experiences. I don't care.

33:09KT: Um, but before we get to the next award, we have Arjun from Deep into History.

33:16Guests: I'm Arjun, Loremaster of the podcast Deep into History. For those of you who don't know, being an independent podcaster, let alone thriving in an industry dominated by corporate networks, is difficult and frankly intimidating at first. You put yourself out there, and as many hundreds of thousands of creators know, there's a good chance you fail.

33:39Guests: So indie casters turn their shows into a labor of love, where you put your heart into it. And hopefully receive some love back. KT, Oti, and I started our shows around the same time. I can't believe it's been five years, fam. And since the beginning, they have been so supportive to myself and the community.

34:00Guests: I'm so proud to have become the dearest of friends. And to quote KT, day ones, it's been a fantastic journey together. Congratulations on all your success. And I can only see your labor of love. The one and only For Your Reference, staying on top forevermore. Love you guys.

34:22Oti: Oh, sweet.

34:24KT: Well, Arjun is literally the sweetest. He's the sweetie of podcast Twitter. Um, yeah, but again, it's so nice to share in this moment with you all, but we're going to get nasty because that's what we do friends and lovers.

34:37KT: This is the Reverse Primae Noctis Award.

34:40Guests: And if you haven't listened to Spartacus, we will not, like the King, deflower you, Reverse Primae Noctis in spoilers. If you have not watched Spartacus, uh, we have Game of Thrones, which is, you know, it'll break you in. It will get you ready for the penetration of the show that is Spartacus. I was simping, so I couldn't even make fun of Max Cherry, Because I was Max KT Cherry.

35:06Guests: She was popping my Max KT Cherry. Tell me about your crumpled magazine covers, Oti.

35:15Guests: Say you had a starched bedsheet without saying you had a starched bedsheet.

35:22KT: Because masturbation is funny for, um, the Reverse Primae Noctis award, as the name suggests, if you could go back and watch or experience something for the first time, because it's not going to hit the same. You can still enjoy it, Oti the rewatchability king, but it's not going to be the same yet. The nominees that we have for Reverse Primae Noctis this year.

35:46KT: Life of Pi. Quantum Cowboys. Mad Heidi. Scavengers Reign.

35:54Oti: and

35:54KT: and the Oti pick, Anatomy of a Fall.

35:58Oti: Oh, all right, give it, give it to

36:04KT: And the winner for Reverse Primae is Life of Pi.

36:15KT: Again, friends and lovers, this should not be a surprise if you've been keeping up and the winner accepting the award today is Richard Oti Parker.

36:27Oti: Wow. It is definitely the best thing I watched last year. I can say that for a fact. It's a play. I don't, I'm not even that big of a play, man. So the fact that I do, you know, which is a sort of different game altogether, but

36:50KT: Well, as 50 Cent will say, it's all a part of the game.

36:53Oti: yeah, but well deserved, uh, rewarded to the wazoo. The best thing ever.

36:58KT: So good. I don't know about other productions, but that's the one. Absolutely. Um, speaking of top tier, we are back on the red carpet, friends and lovers.

37:10KT: With some more day ones, one of the most, um, iconic artwork for a podcast and the most iconic creatives that really, they had their format down pat, even from day one.

37:25KT: This is Frank from Geek Freaks.

37:28Guests: It has been an absolute joy to journey alongside my friends from the For Your Reference podcast, hosted by the incredible KT and Oti. Since the early days, our friendship has been a vibrant tapestry of shared gifts, laughter, and unwavering support for each other's new episode posts, making sure to get those retweets out.

37:46Guests: Watching them grow and flourish in their podcasting venture has been nothing short of wonderful. With each episode, they've honed their craft, bringing insightful discussions and unique perspectives that never fail to impress me, and you can feel their passion and their dedication to improving every single day and bringing the movie talk to their fans that we all love to hear.

38:06Guests: I am filled with pride at their accomplishments. And I eagerly wait for what's coming next. Here's to KT and Oti. May your voices continue to resonate, and your podcasts reach even greater heights. Congratulations.

38:21KT: So sweet.

38:22Oti: Yeah, yeah.

38:23KT: So sweet. And it's so nice to see us all like continuing along our collective journeys together.

38:30KT: Um, speaking of collective journeys, I, I said, whatever I want, we make up the rules. Lia has an honorary seat at the Splooshies always. This is Lia from the Watchers.

38:42Guests: Okay, sit down here. Whew, coast is clear. It's Lia here from We Are the Watchers podcast, and I was a bit worried that Eddie, the ginger cat, Who always comes in whenever I hit record and a microphone is on, he comes in and just starts meowing or walking over the mixer, you know, and pressing buttons and basically being a little menace.

39:05Guests: Anyway, I was worried about doing this message with Eddie around because I'm not quite sure how Theo feels about cats. So I thought we need a cat free zone. Nothing but love for Mr. Theo boy. Also, can I just quickly say how quickly 2023 went? I mean, I know that you guys were super busy doing all the amazing things.

39:23Guests: And the amount of content that you guys managed to put out last year was just insane. And I know this year is going to be pretty much the same, if not bigger, but I was very impressed. But it's so weird in my head to think that it's been a year ago since the last Splooshies, right? Where I was sitting in my car, driving home from work, just laughing my head off.

39:42Guests: Honestly, they are my favorite episodes every single year. They are so good, and I hope you never stop doing them. Please don't stop doing them. Anyway, much love from We Are the Watchers. I'm sure Steph would, uh, sing your praises as well, but you know. Bravo is a thing and she can't unglue her eyeballs to the TV.

40:02Guests: Smash 2024 out of the park. I think that's a baseball thing, right? Or why don't I just say go for six cricket reference? No, no, no. Even better. Go for gold.

40:17KT: I didn't know Lia was that sporty. She kind of lost me in the first half. See, I can do a reference. I can do a meme, but I can't do a sports. Um, Lia, thank you so much. And again, it's so nice to be able to share, um, especially locally in the area.

40:34KT: Um, the next one Oti is actually a video.

40:37Oti: Oh,

40:37KT: And this is Casey.

40:40KT: Um, yeah, like it's, it's, it's a lot of fun and we love Casey and she's so supportive and she's, she's very gingerly walking me through TikTok and how to understand the world around, but yes, let's hear from Casey.

40:56Guests: Five years of For Your Reference podcast is crazy, but at the same time, I feel like it should be so much longer because I feel like you've just been a part of my life forever. I hope you guys get the opportunity to just sit and just acknowledge how much work and how much dedication, how much talent goes into having a podcast for five years.

41:18Guests: I hope that you continue to just grow and hit strength after strength like you have last year. More opportunities in the pipeline and just remember to be your same wonderful talented little bit unhinged selves and um Five years here's to five more years

41:40Oti: Oh, that's nice.

41:42KT: I'm pretty sure the unhinged was for you. I run a very wholesome social media.

41:48Oti: Oh, clearly.

41:51KT: But thank you, Casey. Thank you. Thank you. We love you. We love you. We love you.

41:55KT: We're moving into our next award. This is Striking Urethras.

42:01Guests: Yeah. And one of the fascinating questions you asked was how it felt for Karl, especially being a woman and being fat. And they later explained it. Like does it go inside his urethra? What? How does it work? You know, they have butts, right? Yeah, but guys have butts. Charlie Brooker, please call us. We have very, we have pertinent questions to the, our understanding of your universe.

42:33Guests: Who would fuck someone's urethra? That would be painful as. Because it's in the front. You're ridiculous. Because It's in the front. You're ridiculous. I'll take some fellatio and mint. Um, I also didn't appreciate that Liu Kang was kink shaming, ball crushing. Yeah, yeah, come and lick your hands to see what you've done.

42:52Guests: I thought it happens the other way around. Oh yeah, actually!

42:56KT: It's like you forget who you are in essence and in real life,

43:00Oti: life, too. That was all you, though.

43:04KT: I think, I think a good percent was you, sir. Okay. So this is Striking Urethras, All the Feels. Ratings and popularity do not matter. The nominees are Till, Life of Pi, Swagger, Young Love, and Scavengers Reign.

43:23Oti: Oh, is that the second Notch's Scavengers Reign?

43:26KT: I think so. hyping it, eh?

43:30Oti: I am.

43:32KT: Good actor. And the winner for Striking Urethras in the 5th Annual Splooshies Awards is Young Love.

43:44KT: And accepting the award, I guess you're getting a double daddy title award, is Oti.

43:53Oti: Wow. What a wholesome show. Um, great for the whole family and a perspective that we yearn to see. Black kids embracing their hair and their hair journey and just everything in between that it's, it's, what can be said about Issa that's not been said in this podcast?

44:17KT: podcast? Literally. Absolutely. Let's move on. We have some more friends and lovers on the red carpet of the Splooshies Awards.

44:26KT: We have Dudi who is very humble and, and will never admit it, but he has contributed a lot to the journey that everyone keeps congratulating us on. We love you Dudi.

44:40Guests: Hey, how you doing? I'm really excited to be at the Splooshies Awards. Of course, thank you to KT and Oti for inviting me down. It was a great year last year for, uh, for movies and there was also some, uh, some splooshes in the not good so not good so, you know what I mean, you know. The lights are going, the cameras are going, you know, everyone's on the carpet wearing some great stuff, but, you know, there were some interesting movies like Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey, of course, we had The Flash, which some people love, some people hate.

45:07Guests: The Exorcist: Believer, which did some good things, but also some really not good things. There's splooshing going all over the place. It's an absolutely fantastic event for an award ceremony in regards to good splooshes, bad splooshes. But you always know that when KT and Oti bring the splooshes, there's love going all around.

45:24Guests: They've done a fantastic job with their podcast. They've had some awesome connections. They got to interview Jordan Peele for Nope, which was rad. And now they get to sploosh around, potentially looking at some of the bad movies. I mean, you know, you gotta look at The Exorcist: Believer, you gotta look at Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and whatever the hell the MCU's doing.

45:44Guests: But either way, everyone's dressed up great, they look awesome, and yeah, let's just hopefully, you know, the Splooshies just keep going. These guys have done a wicked job, and I can't wait to see what next year's bad splooshies look like, because it looks like there's going to be some interesting movies this year.

45:59Guests: But good sploosh, bad sploosh, KT & Oti got you back like a buttcrack.

46:04Oti: Oh.

46:04KT: Got Sploosh?

46:06Oti: Yeah.

46:07KT: I also like how he named all the bad movies and we didn't cover any of them.

46:13Oti: Because

46:14KT: Um, Dudi used to be a part of, well, I think the podcast doesn't exist anymore shaken, not nerd, um, and I'm sure they would have had a really great take on all of the films that he was talking about.

46:26KT: Um, but let's move on to, if I can say, yes, I will say one of my favorite people, um, otherwise known as Kevin the Critic, uh, um, I just love our conversations.

46:38KT: We get to speak in so much depth together and he agrees with me on Barbie.

46:43Guests: Hey KT & Oti, keep on, keep on splooshing about your movies, your podcast, and yourselves. Whenever It's always fun. It's always fun to hear you guys dive into new to new releases or things you care about. And I've enjoyed, and I've enjoyed talking things with you over the past several years.
