Vertically Striped Radio - Episode 40 - 02-27-10



Episode 40 was strong. The Ed was at the peak of his powers as he talked about his upcoming elective surgery and called in to the show to scare us with both his big tough man voice and his woman voice. He even said, "I pity the fool" at my request, which was glorious.

In addition to Ed, Face Ventura and the Whale helped me go through the Magnificent Seven greatest calls in sports announcer history. Number 6 was a personal favorite, even though it probably didn't belong on this list.

I also played "Doug on Demand" a phone call with my best friend Doug Newton who tends to disparage the show, but the call had some good stories about his job as a dispatcher on the Colorado State Patrol as well as his admission to getting a tattoo of a lego man. Doug really likes legos.

We also talked a little bit about Olympic hockey and curling, and I played a song to help enlighten people to the rules of hockey courtesy the Mike O'Meara show.

The Vertically Striped Music Recommendation was the self-title album from "The Trampolines" which released in 2005.

Major Minority Report - Episode 3 - 02-22-10



3rd installment of the Major Minority Report. It's the show that Dr. Kevorkian reccomends to all his patients! We played a horribly run game, we spoke about the NBA, talked to Faceventura and Craig Dodge, played a call from Leonard about... um.... a violation in trust, and more.

Vertically Striped Radio - Episode 39 - 02-20-10


Since we were halfway through the Olympics, Craig, Face Ventura and The Whale decided to chat up the noteworthy events from Vancouver...and Craig had to share his distaste for "Men's" figure skating. We talked a bit about how it is better psychologically to win Bronze than it is to win Silver, or at least so say the scientists.

We learned how the "Song of the Count" from Sesame Street could be, um, enhanced? (For Comedy purposes, at least.) Craig shared his painfully awkward Magnificent 7 list, finally. And Face Ventura made sure that everyone knew he expects to win the whole NHL 94 tournament now that we have made it to the elimination round.

The Ed called in at the end of the show to talk a bit about his trip to Lubbock Texas where he had seen his beloved Red Raiders fall to the Texas Longhorns earlier in the day, and how he and Texas Tech coach Pat Knight were going to be having dinner with Under Armor big wigs that evening.

The Vertically Striped Music Recommendation was "Rhythm of the Pridelands" Music Inspired by Disney's Lion King. Which doesn't sound nearly as cool until you listen to it, it's some good stuff.

Sleepless in Seattle. Good times were had by a few.

The Major Minority Report Episode 2

We spoke about what we did wrong last time, gave a proper bio on our favorite oddball Leonard, spoke with The Ed about the Magic Johnson conspiracy, went over ways women are crazy, and finished with our patented A, B, C, D, E, Eff em! segment. Yep. A whole lot of nothing!

Vertically Striped Radio - Episode 38 - 02-13-10



The Olympics are starting, and to celebrate...we barely talked about the Olympics.

Face Ventura and The Whale called in to help me crown the Super Bowl Commercial Champion, we remembered the career of Casey Kasem and played our very own long distance dedication, a song from Fourthand26's girl to him for his birthday/Valentine's Day.

The Ed called in to promote this evening's Super Baby Fights, he described how little he cares for the movie Avatar, and he explained why he thinks that men can't really have real relationships with women. (We agreed to disagree on that one.)

We finished up actually talking a little winter Olympics and also giving an update (and talking a little smack) about the NHL 94 tournament over at Dameshek.com.

The music recommendation this week was "No Room" by The Samples.

Super Bowl eve found Vertically Striped Radio in fine form. We spent some time yapping with Trace Smith of the Southeast Sports Beat who talked some Super Bowl and college basketball with us for awhile, then the Ed called in and Trace and Craig tried to keep up with the excited Colts fan.

Then Face Ventura called in as we hashed out the final details of the NHL 94 tournament which is scheduled to start this evening and run through the next few weeks.

Then we had a banner edition of Great moments in the history of Blog Talk Radio as we lived a moment from 2007 on the LCS show in which the LCS boys recreated a visit from the Ed to Dave Dameshek's sports contraption.

Then VSR finished up with a quick music recommendation of the self titled album from 2005 by Apollo Sunshine.

All in all, a fun, if Ed dominated, edition of the show.
