This week DJ takes Gage through the astonishing history behind one of the most iconic modern gestures, the high five, and how culturally important it is. Was it born in a legendary Dodgers game in 1977? Does it stretch back to jazz clubs and wartime camaraderie? Was it invented by a cartoon girl who could travel through time? All of these theories will be tested and tried as we seek to discuss the origin of the high five and its roots in African American culture, gay culture, and the broader American culture. Though we are all familiar with the high five as a gesture associated with unity, connection, solidarity, and celebration, there is much history to be seen behind this simple gesture.

We had the pleasure once again to be joined by our friend Nathan Hurley of Fox Royale and the Royale Cinema Lounge (and many more things by now) to discuss what has been going on with the cinema lounge as well as a lot of movie and tv nonsense. Do you like good music? Check out Fox Royale! Do you like movies, but specifically the feeling of putting a VHS on while there are good food and drinks for sale nearby, and you happen to live in or near Joplin Missouri? Check out the Royale Cinema Lounge! Regardless, we hope you enjoyed the chance to hang out with us while we hang out with an old friend.

Though this technically isn't our first time recording in person, this will be the first time that you, dear viewer, get to actually see the video that came from it. Today we are celebrating two things: firstly that we both made it to 30, and secondly that we hit 100 youtube subscribers! To celebrate, DJ has visited Gage and we decided to debate about it. Who won each debate? What topics should we tackle next? Do you have your own takes that we did not get to?

In celebration of his birthday, Gage decided it would be a good idea to ruin one of his favorite shows of all time: Naruto. On a serious note, Gage wanted to share this series that he loves dearly with his best friend, and also with you dear listeners. So whether you've seen Naruto or not, please tune in with us to hear the story from the beginning to the end (except for Boruto) as we go on a three-part journey to cover the entire story from memory. Please correct me if there is something I really messed up on or if there are crucial pieces of information I should have shared with DJ. -Gage Thank you to our friends for our musicJacob Casey: https://open.spotify.com/artist/7E60rnQGYTO65DTkVpe6D9?si=46ylUvAcTmuoXAXqxvf04gAdam Ward: https://www.instagram.com/adamjward1/Jared ScrowtherIf you want to contact us, send us an email at nocatspod@gmail.com.To find us elsewhere, just go to these links.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nocatspodYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@NoCatsPodSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1TOoYcuujpulwuIuLdDk7V?si=a09b0e516f7b444bApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/everything-but-the-cats/id1712223606Website: https://everythingbutthecats.com
