Meet the Special family, a theater-loving, stoner couple and their three very different kids. It’s 1994, and Michael and Jennifer Special are just trying to help fund in the arts in their community, but their son Ricky is on the run from a school bully, and their daughter Zara is betting everything on a plan to start the school year as a popular girl. With a mix of '90s nostalgia, sitcom homages, and a healthy dose of humor, "Welcome, Freshmen" will teach you the joys of scented oxygen, the perils of Crystal Pepsi, and why you should never trust a math teacher to do "creative accounting" for the arts. Equal parts funny, smart, and a little messed up, just like Everly Heights itself.

Show Notes

Chocolate Peanut Butter Mug Cake

  • Jungle Juice
  • For this you need:
    • a cooler
    • a bag of ice
    • cut up fruit (berries and melon are awesome)
    • a bottle of Everclear 
    • a bottle of vodka
    • Hawaiian Punch

Step 1 – add the fruit to the cooler

Step 2 – pour in Everclear and vodka

Step 3 – add Hawaiian punch to taste

Step 4 – add ice (to cool and help and help water down)

This punch is best if you can make it ahead of time which gives the fruit time to soak up the alcohol. 

 

  • Jello Shots – Another one of my favorites is jello shots. These are easiest if you have a full sized fridge, but could totally be done in a dorm fridge when necessary. You will need:

 

  • Jello mix (I prefer orange)
  • Water
  • Alcohol (I prefer vodka…usually orange vodka)
  • plastic shot glasses with lids

This one is crazy easy…just follow the directions for making the jello, but substitute alcohol for the cold water. I find that you can’t really taste the alcohol with orange, but I have known people who make margarita flavored shots with lime jello, tequila, and triple sec…yum! 

 

  • Ramen Mac and Cheese  – This recipe combines 2 of the most common college foods, Ramen and Mac and Cheese! I probably lived on this for about a year. You’ll need:

 

  • Ramen – choose your favorite flavor…I always choose a variation on chicken
  • cheese – shredded or sliced will work
  • water
  • spicy mustard

To prepare, crumble the Ramen into your favorite mug and sprinkle with seasoning packet. Then cover the noodles with just enough water to cover. Heat in the microwave for 1 ½ min – 2 min, or until noodles are cooked to your desired doneness. Then drain some, but not all, of the water before adding cheese and a squirt of spicy mustard. This way your noodles have absorbed the flavor or the Ramen packet, but are topped with a yummy, cheesy sauce.

 

Good Will Hunting

Now for a tale of two boys from Southie.
 Sean’s an old shrink. Will’s smart but he’s mouthy.
 They’re two men whose lives are ruled by excuses,
 their lives both were rocked by stunning abuses.
 But together they’ll end their emotional stunting,
 in the 1997 classic “Good Will Hunting”.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Mug Cake

  • Jungle Juice
  • For this you need:
    • a cooler
    • a bag of ice
    • cut up fruit (berries and melon are awesome)
    • a bottle of Everclear 
    • a bottle of vodka
    • Hawaiian Punch

Step 1 – add the fruit to the cooler

Step 2 – pour in Everclear and vodka

Step 3 – add Hawaiian punch to taste

Step 4 – add ice (to cool and help and help water down)

This punch is best if you can make it ahead of time which gives the fruit time to soak up the alcohol. 

 

  • Jello Shots – Another one of my favorites is jello shots. These are easiest if you have a full sized fridge, but could totally be done in a dorm fridge when necessary. You will need:

 

  • Jello mix (I prefer orange)
  • Water
  • Alcohol (I prefer vodka…usually orange vodka)
  • plastic shot glasses with lids

This one is crazy easy…just follow the directions for making the jello, but substitute alcohol for the cold water. I find that you can’t really taste the alcohol with orange, but I have known people who make margarita flavored shots with lime jello, tequila, and triple sec…yum! 

 

  • Ramen Mac and Cheese  – This recipe combines 2 of the most common college foods, Ramen and Mac and Cheese! I probably lived on this for about a year. You’ll need:

 

  • Ramen – choose your favorite flavor…I always choose a variation on chicken
  • cheese – shredded or sliced will work
  • water
  • spicy mustard

To prepare, crumble the Ramen into your favorite mug and sprinkle with seasoning packet. Then cover the noodles with just enough water to cover. Heat in the microwave for 1 ½ min – 2 min, or until noodles are cooked to your desired doneness. Then drain some, but not all, of the water before adding cheese and a squirt of spicy mustard. This way your noodles have absorbed the flavor or the Ramen packet, but are topped with a yummy, cheesy sauce.

 

Good Will Hunting

Now for a tale of two boys from Southie.
 Sean’s an old shrink. Will’s smart but he’s mouthy.
 They’re two men whose lives are ruled by excuses,
 their lives both were rocked by stunning abuses.
 But together they’ll end their emotional stunting,
 in the 1997 classic “Good Will Hunting”.

The Little Mermaid

Look at this girl. Isn’t she sad?
She’s having boundary issues with Dad.
Funny when you’re an adult
she seems like a brat.
She’s grown up but can’t see the danger.
She manipulates animal friends.
Who’s the guy she loves? He’s a stranger!
Does she care? Dad knows best? Guess it depends….
A witch gives her aid, takes her voice in the trade. It’s “The Little Mermaid”.

Show Notes

Wonder Box Episodes:

Rainbow Brite
Rainbow Brite finds a colorless world.

She needs the light spear but finds a small girl.

Her friends Twink and Starlight are both vain and dumb.

But no dumber than the minions of the Evil One.

The color belt found, Wisp declares her plans

in her premiere “The Beginning of Rainbowland”.

Galaxy High
A jock dude and geek girl get sent across space

to a very mundane yet fantastical place.

Doyle and Amy land at a high school in space

where Amy’s the queen while Doyle’s outpaced

Earthlings are hated, and we aren’t quite told why

Weird things are afoot in “Welcome to Galaxy High”
