Buckle Up Baby!
I've never watched the FOX program House. But I've seen the previews. And on every preview it appears that someone is dead, and then Dr. House walks in and brings them back to life? And maybe there's a mystery? Is this accurate? Does he bring people back from the grave? Because then he's really more than a doctor isn't he? Is it supernatural, this show? Is House some sort of sorcerer? I don't get it.
Speaking of FOX, thank God Kellie Pickler is gone off American Idol. What an idiot, and her performance of "Unchained Melody" will haunt my dreams. They're making good choices this year, most bad candidates are getting voted off right about when they should, a big good riddance to the ridiculous (G)Ace as well. I was a Mandisa man, but now that she is gone, my loyalties lie with Elliot and Paris. Don't think Elliot is attractive enough and I don't think Paris is white enough to win, but good luck to both of them. And I like Taylor's voice but he blows it by doing shit like "Play That Funky Music" last night. Plus he looks older than most people's dads. I think it will be the ridiculously boring Chris, who comes off like the really poor man's Scott Stapp. Who was the really really poor, like, homeless man's Eddie Vedder. Whatever, he's poor. And Katherine McPhee, though I wouldn't mind McPheeling her glorious cleavage, leaves me a little cold. Yeah, that's right. I'm a 25 year old man with strong opinions on American Idol. Suck it.
I saw a "Muppets" special the other day. I love the Muppets. Along with the Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker movies (Naked Gun, Airplane!), John Hughes, the Coen Brothers, Simpsons, and Seinfeld, they probably shaped my comedic sensibilities (assuming I have some) the most growing up. But I have a question that's been troubling me since I saw this special:
Is Animal a rapist?
Literally all he does when he's not playing drums is chase girls around screaming "Woman! Woman!" And they run from him. What would happen if he caught one? Have you ever thought of that? Where does it go from there? Forced felt/vagina penetration? I mean, he's not just going to give them a hug, I can tell you that. He's not Elmo, he's fucking Animal. He's deranged. Something to ponder.
There was a request that we just post all the raw podcast tapes, and I need to clarify. When I said they're a bitch to edit, I just meant the whole process of importing/exporting/sending to itunes/posting on the blog, etc. Very rarely do I edit content out of these podcasts. The way they work is we hit record on my computer and have a conversation. Usually we have no set game plan for the conversation, (which shows), and the talks usually run a couple of hours. I wish I could post the entire two hour chunks, but I don't have the file space for that on my blog, don't really know how to get it, and doubt any of you would listen that long. I try to serve them up in 20 minute chunks. If that's too long, too short, or just right, please let me know.
It looks like I'm going to be moving soon, and we're definitely going to get one more huge podcast recorded so that I can cut up and serve sections to you once a week or so. I'd like to make it a Loveline/Dear Abby kind of thing, with us fielding listener questions. PLEASE leave your questions in the comments, or email one of us. We'll compile a list and answer your questions in our next podcast. No question too stupid, and certainly no question too filthy. Help us help you.
This podcast was insanely long, this first portion runs about 20 minutes. Today's is about car accidents and driver's tests. There's a lot more where this came from, and this is one of our few that gets funnier as it goes along, so keep a lookout for new ones.
Paris is annoying, katharine has gone down hill, her audition was awesome,
but shes not a kelly clarkson. I LOVE ELLIOT and the more I listen and see
him, the more I think hes attractive, I think the stylists did very well
with him, he looks better. He just neds to fix the teeth. Taylors voice is
great! chris is the poor mans stapp, good call. hes boring. My vote is for
taylor or elliot, elliot being number 1.
Knowing you guys, a podcast on car accidents will turn into a discussion on
road head.
No, I have never seen American Idol either. Songs where the main focus is
on someone's voice instead of the song itself rarely appeal to me. There
are exceptions, of course - the most notable being the incomparable Tom
Jones.
Also a rapist: Benny Hill??? He's always chasing women.
I don't think Animal's a rapist as much as just some horrible woman-eating
beast, in the least sexual way possible. He'd start with the brains and
move on from there.
"Poorman's Scott Stapp" is a contradiction in terms. It is impossible that
anyone is "Poorer" than that Ass-clown. I would say Hitler, but Mein Kampf
was better written than "What If".
Ben,
Of course, "The Young New Mexican Puppeteer" is one of those rare instances
of both profound songwriting and wonderfully canorous voice. A puppet
telling people how to live? I think we can all learn a little something
from that.
You can use any of the music ya find at the site I used for this comment.
By my reckoning there are 15 songs on there between the two different acts.
