Oh, well, hi, it's me Dave Holmes.

Welcome to Troubled Waters.

The show that treats popular culture is the most important kind of culture.

We celebrate it here.

We analyze it.

We eviscerate it.

And to do that, we pit a pair of entertainers against one another in a pop culture battle to the ego death.

Each guest will be called upon to use their smarts, their rhetorical skills, the great

comebacks they wish

they had said in the moment, to earn the coveted Troubled Waters title Punant Emeritus, which will

automatically give their particular personal take on who the best act on the 90s cruise was,

more weight than a civilians. You're listening to Troubled Waters. Yes, I did say the 90s cruise.

I just last night got back from the 90s cruise.

Last minute gig in the Gulf of Mexico with Collective Soul, blues traveler, fastball, gin blossoms,

CNC music factory, digital underground, color me bad, who might have just been some guy

who said he was in color me bad. It was really something else. I got stories for days,

but right now I will tell you,

each day, there would be like a new sort of little gift or favor or whatever that would be on your bed, in your room, on the thing. And one of the days, it was this. Now, I will describe this

to those who cannot see it, because this is not a visual medium.

This is the pink pen with a little pink fluffy pom-pom at the end that Cher uses in the movie Clueless.

It's not the actual one.

It's a replica.
