#036: Cowabunga Shredhead (S03E18 1989)

**TMNT Shellcast Giveaway! (00:19:17)**

TMNT Shellcast goes full cowabunga with "Cowabunga Shredhead" from season 3 episode 18 of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987 TV series.

In the TV episode, Michelangelo's gluttony leads Splinter to hypnotize him into rejecting pizza, and a mishap with Shredder and Krang's holographic synthesizer transforms him into a Michelangelo clone. The Turtles must navigate this confusion while trying to rescue the real Michelangelo and thwart Shredder and Krang's master plan to destroy them and take over the world using holographic technology. Ultimately, the Turtles succeed, and Michelangelo reverts to his pizza-loving self, celebrating with a hearty meal.

In this NASCAR Cup Series race length (00:00:26) podcast episode (#36), Jon is NOT listening (00:00:40). Pizza Time! (00:01:40) features a chocolate sprinkle-off with Jon (00:05:19), Chris (00:09:00), and Andrew (00:12:08) all reviewing pizza this week. Andrew details the first-ever TMNT Shellcast Giveaway (00:19:17) before leading Chris and Jon during Buy or Sell: Chinese Food (00:49:42). Chris earns a Respin (01:14:42), Combo Slice (01:15:16), and Party Pizza (01:16:17) Power-ups and Jon takes home a Combo Slice (01:15:16), Party Pizza (01:16:17) and Odds Maker (01:17:45) Power-ups. The Shellcast Sportsbook (01:43:23) yields three cowabungas (00:45:20 and 01:39:29 and 01:40:54) then Chris reads off lots of Turtlisms (01:44:55). The Villain Power Ranking (01:51:50) features BIG moves, including Rock Soldiers moving to #6 (01:52:45) and Bebop & Rocksteady leapfrogging Shredder (01:54:27). Andrew's hot streak continues during the Pizza Poll Results (01:58:08), sending Chris to the Pizza Wheel where he spins grape jelly (02:03:03). Jon uses a Combo Slice Power-up (02:05:17), adding anchovy and butterscotch ice cream to Chris's pie. Chris uses a Party Pizza Power-up (02:06:00) on Jon, who subsequently uses a Respin Power-up (02:06:25), ultimately resulting in grape jelly and pepperoni pizza (02:06:48). To end the episode, Jon and Andrew answer the Pizza Poll Question: which food texture is more disgusting? (02:08:18).
