On tonight's show we talked some pop culture, we talked some sports, and Shelly and Doug talked about parenting. The real story is that you can listen to the birth of the most spectacular idea ever... a children's book called, "Everyone Jacks It." Um, we're still working on the title. Enjoy!
Craig and Face on a Special Monday Bonus edition of the show. Face shared his story of encountering a wandering baby on an elevator...he seemed very concerned. We also played Episode 4 of The Shek Republic Life in a Week where we answer the question, "Who is your Hero and why?" Where we learned that the High Plains Grifter a.k.a. Jeremy Lane has very low standards for a hero. I finally was able to play the story from The Moth podcast from Michela Murphy about her trip to the 1981 All-Star game, and I finished up with a music recommendation from Frou Frou, a remake of the Bonnie Tyler song "Holding out for a Hero."
No Name Show - 8/29/2010 Aaron is about as pumped up as he's ever been and the reason is simple. Metroid: Other M is coming out in two days and he can't wait. To celebrate he's been playing the Metroid Prime games non-stop for 5 days straight and boy are his fingers tired. Add to that excitement a movie review with David Escalante, another fight in the KOB Tourney, and stories from Big Steve's Hugs For Thugs charity and you've got one jam packed show. Tune in.
Episode 70 had a strong baseball theme, and then it morphed into something weird. The first hour was dominated by the Magnificent 7 - Top Seven Baseball Movies. We had some good discussions, including Craig taking almost 15 minutes to discuss how ridiculous "The Natural" was, even though it made the list. Face Ventura was around for most the program, and he and Elevation helped us discuss the movie list. We had a brief cameo from The Whale, who had us pondering if "The Naked Gun" could qualify as a baseball movie, and we kept Ed on hold for about 45 minutes until after we finished the Magnificent Seven. He made up for it by dominating the remainder of the very strange program. He and Elevation discussed MMA for a bit, then we were treated to recipes from Ed and a story about an unusual piece of litigation that he was involved in years ago. This was a normal show for an hour, and as soon as Ed came on, it became something somewhat insane. We spiraled out of control in quite the amusing way.
After an internet outage at the top of the show, The Ed arrived and struck a truce with Security Guy Irv. Then The Ed called out some punks on the Dameshek.com message boards and unveiled his All-Miller Team of NFL greats. Congratulations, Eddie Payton.
LCS HOCKEY RADIO SHOW In hour one, James Corbett from CorbettReport.com was here talking about his love for the Calgary Flames and all things conspiracy with mikedell. In the second hour, Cousin Brandon talks about living with his mother again and moderates our Top 11 Surprisingly Good Movies.
Tonight Doug bummed out of the show and it was for the better. We had a special, guest host, The Ed! The Ed was confronted by Security Guy Irv about ducking out of a fight, he sang some songs, and asked Shelly some interesting hypothetical questions. We also heard from 18 Nalax and Craig Dodge (www.verticallystripedsocks.com) Our listener of the week was Holly Turpin, and Adam was the subject of my newest poem.
Back To School Special I don't know how much we'll actually talk about going back to school but we will do our Top 7 Subjects to study in school and we'll try to play another round of Washington Spelling Bee if we can get a contestant. Enjoy.
This was the wrestling show...don't get used to it as this is not a topic we're going to cover often. I tried to explain why I hate Pro Wrestling, as wrestling fans Face Ventura (With his brand new intro music) and Elevation defended the pseudo sport, and The Whale looked on. Even as I was hating on the WWE/WWF, I had the shocking admission that there is one thing in that stupid world that I do like...My new hero Razor Ramon a.k.a. Scott Hall. I could listen to that guy talk for hours. The Ed dropped in and had an epic performance, as he showed the world what his wrestling promos would sound like if he actually were a wrestler. Rolling Presidential is surely shaking with fear by now. I also played a commercial for Arnold's Clown College and Balloon Emporium. It debuted to mixed reviews, but I swear that's the copy the sponsor wanted...And yes, I realize My Arnold impression is terrible. We played Episode 3 of "The Shek Republic Life in a Week" as the gang discussed the most beautiful women on earth. The Vertically Striped Music Recommendation was the song "Lazy Eye" by the Silversun Pickups...Great song, but I still can't believe that's a man singing.
The Ed Show The Ed chatted with boxing trainer Jeff Mayweather to get the scoop on Floyd's potential bout with Manny Pacquiao. Then The Ed talked about his improved golfing game, signing up for flag football, and all sorts of other nonsense.
Todd Teacher, a.k.a. Captain Justice, was here talking about his singing gigs at the Key Note Cafe and his recent youtube success. Check out his work for yourself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWJA_qV2e8A&feature=related The Ed called in and claimed to be water skiing. Larry and mikedell talked some movies, TV and the Top 50 current hockey players. Mikedell finished up with a conspiracy segment on Pat Tillman.
Major Minority Report Episode 24 The return of the live show! We held a brief funeral for Doug and introduced a new Doug. We had the pop culture review, sports review, a Leonard story told by me, and some other nonsense. Listen to it and tell us how much we stink
No Name Show - 8/15/2010 Join Steve and Aaron as we discuss our picks for the upcoming NFL season. We'll also have another match in the King of the Beasts tourney, play a new game called Sci-Fi Channel Movies, and tell you our Top 7 Michael Jackson songs. Good times await.
Vertically Striped Radio - Episode 68 This was the Murphy's law edition of Vertically Striped Radio. Everything that could go wrong, did. First of all, Face had an emergency in his family, so he wasn't able to call in. Next, my son's nap didn't take at first, so I went to play a clip from "The Moth" which is a terrific podcast of people sharing stories from their lives...only the audio clip crapped out after a minute, so I tried it again...and it crapped out again. So, listeners got to hear me put my son into his bed against his wishes for a nap that he desperately needed. Riveting radio, I'm sure. One thing that did go right is Episode 2 of "The Shek Republic in a Week." which was a solid edition of people giving their take on mustard. I played my buddy Doug's goof-up as he worked dispatch for the Colorado State Patrol, and I had a Magnificent Seven list of the 7 Best Zoo animals. It was mostly Craig flying solo until the Whale jumped in for the final 15 minutes. The music recommendation was Arcade Fire's "Half Light II (No Celebration)" from their new album "The Suburbs" We had our moments this week, although mainly it was an audio train wreck...I guess they can't all be home runs. This one surely wasn't.
The Ed bets on some horses, tells everyone about his new weekly golf outings, and previews the upcoming Super Deluxe Baby Fights, which includes his grudge match with Security Guy Irv.
LCS HOCKEY RADIO SHOW Security Guy Irv and The Ed got into a heated debate over Ebay and Todd McFarlane figures. The Ed, Larry and mikedell got into a heated debate over fantasy football. Larry and mikedell discuss their Top 11 People They'd Like To Spend The Day With. Check it out.
Aaron's New Best Friend Aaron will announce the winner of the Best Friend quiz, we'll play the Washington Spelling Bee, Big Steve will read another selection from his book club, and who knows what else will go on.
It was Mike Ditka versus a 2 year old...and Ditka is going to get slaughtered! Luke Dodge is no ordinary 2 year old, though...and he sings a mean "Take me out to the Ballgame" whereas the Juice Box guy...not so much.
It was an action packed VSR, as Craig announced his boycott of his own show. In addition, Cousin Brandon dropped in to say hi and we discussed sports fashion and our upcoming special about music and Mad Men...although that was before I took Betty over Joan, so it might be all over for me.
Face and the Whale helped me break down my Magnificent 7 list of the Seven goofiest uniforms in the history of pro sports. There are some real doozies on the list.
I played the first installment of "One week in the Shek Republic" and after that, Ed checked in to ask me the hard hitting questions and count backwards from ten.
I finished up the show by recommending a new theme song for Slammed! ("Gonna be so Drunk" by We Wrote the Book on Connectors) and then at the end played the historic Bibbi Babka song from classic show "Perfect Strangers."
LCS Hockey Radio Show It was The Ed-free zone tonight. In fact, no guests at all. We talked the entire two hours, covering such topics as hockey, Kennywood, and TV. We finished up with our lists of Top 11 Underrated Films.
MMR Quickie Tres We did a quick podcast with special guest, my buddy Jay. And by special, I mean, not special in any way whatsoever. We profiled The Whale, spoke some usual nonsense and ended with Shelly being upset.
The No Name Show Bids Fare-the-well to Catfisher Due to a vast number of difficulties (technical and otherwise) we started an hour late. EGADS! Skip ahead to the 30 minute mark if you actually want to hear people talk. What you ended up with was 40 great minutes of fake radio though. Brian's last show before moving to Mexico was filled with the announcement of the brackets for Micah's Animal Fighting Championship, more talk of giants, what we did in Oregon, a book reading by Big Steve, and a phone call from the President of the United States.
Vertically Striped Radio - Episode 66 It was a special Sunday show, only because Craig had to pick up his mom on Saturday during the usual show time. Thankfully the Whale and Face Ventura both were able to call in, and we were even joined briefly by the wonderfully named Mario Speedwagon. Appropriate that this was a Sunday show, as we spent the majority of the show talking NFL Football. It was the preseason spectacular, and Face and Craig made their picks for division winners. Face using knowledge, and Craig using his dice. We'll see who comes up with the most winners at the end of the season, but here are our picks: Face: Cowboys, Packers, Falcons, 49ers, Patriots, Ravens, Colts, Chargers. Craig's Dice: Giants, Bears, Falcons, Cardinals, Jets, Steelers, Colts, Chargers. In addition to the football talk, we did a 3-way duel of Auto-Tuned songs pitting Mr. T, Billy Mays, and the Double Rainbow Guy against each other. I finished up with a little bit of Doctor Seuss...a reading of his classic story, "What was I scared of?" and a Vertically Striped Music Recommendation from Bright Eyes called, "Road to Joy."
