Podcasts about Leon Redbone

It's the end of our eighth season of the podcast and so we're celebrating by going all the back to the season finale of the very first season (well, if you don't count those summer episodes as being part of the season). Anyway, our ol' pal Jon Schneider is back with us again to discuss Elliott Gould's second hosting gig and what be the first of many for musical guest Leon Redbone. This episode is mostly known for Micheal O'Donoghue's lengthy Star Trek sketch and generally not much else and truth to be told, I had vague memories of it just kinda being a gassed out finale with a mini-epic tossed in the middle. But no! Turns out there's more here than meets the eye, including the first of the show's two moments of female nudity, Collins & Everson performing a song that would never be officially released, and a strange 1930s-ish theming to the whole thing. So join us as we close out our season the only way we know how: by talking WAY too long about vintage comedy. Who loves ya, baby? 

Every year we host a bracket to determine the best movie of the year -- this year we are releasing 4 separate episodes for each 'corner' of the bracket, culminating with a final episode compromising the entire bracket! The second bracket corner - joined by Aussie Adam - is chock full of 'adult' animations like Robot Dreams, The Wild Robot, Inside Out 2, Flow and pseudo animations like The People's Joker and the Tollywood extravaganza Kalki 2898. Also: Hit Man and The Order.No spoilers in this episode!The Bracket can be found ⁠⁠here⁠⁠.Outro is My Walking Stick, 1974, sung by Leon Redbone, composed by Irving Berlin, soundtrack of Hit Man

Exhibit at Howland Center honors two Beacon institutions At its annual gala on May 15, the Howland Cultural Center in Beacon will honor Phil Ciganer, owner of the Towne Crier Cafe on Main Street, and Neil Caplan, founder of the Bannerman Castle Trust. Plenty of tales will be told, but to get an early jump on the festivities, an exhibit titled Visionaries has been mounted at the center through Feb. 23. Although the show honors "two of Beacon's longest running and renowned cultural arts and music organizations and venues," according to organizers, the castle gets the lion's share of the space because the island on which it sits is an inspiring setting for artists and photographers. The namesake Bannerman family appreciated art, and two playful watercolors by Jane Bannerman, who married one of the scions, are on view. The Towne Crier, which has long specialized in rootsy, acoustic-based musical acts, moved to Beacon from Pawling in 2013. An eye-drawing photo on the wall opposite the entrance portrays Pete Seeger smiling onstage. Judging from the 20 or so posters from the mid-1970s, Leon Redbone, Jay Ungar, Chris Smithers and the Wretched Refuse String Band performed often. In 1976, they charged $3 admission, or $3.50 for "special shows" (the equivalent of $17 to $19 today). The calendars contain groovy graphics and the modest display evokes the post-hippie years. Most of the more serious works depict some aspect of Pollepel Island, used by the Bannerman family as a storage facility for their military surplus business. Several photos and paintings captured the castle before a series of collapses in 2009 and 2010 claimed a significant portion of the building. Laurie Clark at the Bannerman Trust put out an open call to artists for the exhibit and received a broad response. Some items, like the Jane Bannerman paintings, come from the Trust's collection. Founded in 1993, it brings artists to the island so they can comb for inspiration, helping to build a trove of work throughout the Hudson Valley. The exhibit is almost split between painters and photographers, some of whom rendered their subjects with an impressionistic lens, including oils by Cynthia Dill, watercolors from Susan Hennelly and pastels by Susan Story and Beacon-based Andre Junget. "Bannerman Castle," by Carol Stanford "The Castle in the River," Alec Halstead "To the South Tower," by Thom Johnson Some paintings look like photos, including Patricia Collins Broun's "Bannerman Tower" and "Looking South from Bannerman," by Kristen Lowe. In contrast, many of Alec Halstead's large photos resemble manual works, in part because they're printed on canvas. In a stark piece on aluminum that contrasts with his more colorful photos, swirls of lightning add a creepy effect. Thom Johnson's two black-and-white pictures look like mirror images. Sandra Belitza-Vazquez took advantage of light in her three works and manipulated photos by Mary Ann Glass convey ethereal skies as the buildings seem to lean and strike off-kilter poses. The singular work in the show is a white 3-D printed portion of the castle's portcullis, the first piece in a planned re-creation of the entire island and its buildings rendered in what Beacon artist Brandyn Yeoman calls a "mixed-media model." The Howland Cultural Center, at 477 Main St. in Beacon, is open from 1 to 5 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. See howlandculturalcenter.org.

The great actor of stage and screen, Harris Yulin ("Scarface", "Ozark"), returns to the podcast. He was in the 1987 film "Candy Mountain" which was recently re-released. New York City, 1980s. A struggling, deadbeat musician named Julius has fallen on hard times. With no guitar, band or paying gigs, he cooks up a get-rich-quick scheme – to find the legendary, yet elusive guitar-maker Elmore Silk. Considered one of the greatest luthiers in the business, Silk's disappearance from the scene has only made his work more coveted by musicians and executives looking to make a buck off his name. Julius agrees to track the man down and sets out on the road. Meant to be a simple journey upstate, Julius stumbles down a long, winding road full of dead-ends and wrong turns towards an eventual revelatory conclusion in the Canadian wilderness. One of the great cult classics of the 1980s and starring character actors Kevin J O'Conner and Harris Yulin, the supporting cast features real-life music legends Tom Waits, Leon Redbone, Joe Strummer, Dr. John, David Johansen and more. “A wry, laid-back Heart of Darkness" (Chicago Reader), Candy Mountain combines the keen eye of legendary photographer Robert Frank with novelist/screenwriter Rudy Wurlitzer's mythic American prose to produce the quintessential road movie. "Candy Mountain" is currently available on various streaming platforms.

Записанный в клубе Нью-Йорка Mezzerow живой альбом польского кларнетиста и саксофониста Ken Peplowski звучит приятно душевно и с хорошим чувством свинга. Мне понравилось именно звучание его инструментов и хороший подбор композиций. Большинство стандартов сыграны но новому, с прекрасным изменением не только общих картин, но и ритмов. Например The Shadow Of Your Smile Джонни Мэндела исполняется медленнее, чем обычно и это хорошо демонстрирует эмоциональную глубину пьесы. Кен встречается на семидесяти альбомах в качестве солиста и на около четырехсот записях в качестве сайдмена, несколько из которых есть на моем канале. Этот альбом нечто выдающееся и на нем представлены шикарные мелодии в исполнении замечательных музыкантов: пианист Ted Rosenthal, басист Martin Wind и барабанщик Willie Jones III. С первого публичного выступления я понял, что хочу зарабатывать на жизнь музыкой, - сказал лидер и пояснил, что свой первый профессиональный концерт он сыграл, когда еще учился в начальной школе. Переехав в Нью-Йорк в 1980 году он начал играть в самых разных местах, от традиционного до авангардного джаза. В 1984 году Бенни Гудман собрал новую группу и нанял Кена на тенор-саксофоне. Он подписал контракт с Concord Records и выпустил с ними около двадцати альбомов. Это его кларнет вы слышите в саундтреках Вуди Аллена. Он был хедлайнером в Лас-Вегасе и Hollywood Bowl. Он играл на джазовом фестивале в Ньюпорте и на всех крупных европейских фестивалях. Он сотрудничал с Mel Torme, Leon Redbone, Madonna, Dave Frishberg, Tom Harrell, Bill Charles, Marianne Faithful и многими другими.

Darryl Rhoades has been entertaining audiences with his music and comedy for over half-a-century. As founder and leader of Hahavishnu Orchestra and later as a solo artist, Rhoades recorded several albums and toured across the United States. Rhoades once even opened for The Sex Pistols! He has been featured in Rolling Stone, Village Voice and High Times. Kurt Loder (Rolling Stone, MTV) described Rhoades as,  ”one of the most savagely gifted writer/performers in the country today.”  Rhoades' new biography, "The Road to Almost: The Lean Years, 1950-2024," is a funny and fascinating read - a witty tour de force recounting Rhoades' time with characters like Frank Zappa, Leon Redbone, the Sex Pistols, Jan Hooks and Negro League Hall of Famer Buck Leonard. If laughter is the best medicine, Rex and Craig were fit as fiddles after this interview.Darryl Rhoades official site:  https://music-comedy.com/See below for our bookshop.org affiliate link or by the book from Rhoades' website or any major bookseller.Errata: Felix Mantilla reached on an error, Eddie Matthews sacrificed Mantilla to second, Henry Aaron drew an intentional walk and Joe Adcock his a three-run home run off Harvey Haddix in the bottom of the 13th, or so it seemed. Lew Burdette was the winning pitcher for Milwaukee - a 13-inning, 12-hit shutout. Enos Slaughter's score from first on a single (officially, and probably incorectly, a double)  during the 1946 World Series was called the "Mad Dash."Episodes Referenced:198 - Johnny Mize: Born to Hit w/ Jerry Grillo  Hooks & Runs - www.hooksandruns.comHooks & Runs on TikTok -  https://www.tiktok.com/@hooksandrunsHooks & Runs on Twitter - https://twitter.com/thehooksandrunsAndrew Eckhoff on Tik TokLink: https://www.tiktok.com/@hofffestRex von Pohl (Krazy Karl's Music Emporium) on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/people/Krazy-Karlz-Music-Emporium/100063801500293/ Music: "Warrior of Light" by ikolics (Premium Beat)     This podcast and this episode are copyright Craig Estlinbaum, 2024, all rights reserved.

We thank all y'all for your feedback last week on our plans for the new album. Your thoughts and suggestions on the tune we asked you about — “(When She Wants Good Lovin') Baby Comes to Me”— are so helpful. So, now can we get your thoughts on another song we're considering? “Am I Blue?”, featured in the video above, is a tune we often trot out at the start of a rehearsal so everyone can limber up for the evening. Our manager, Pamela Bowen, who shot the video, says that, while she likes the song well enough, she thinks it probably isn't lively enough for the new album. Perhaps you'll agree. Or maybe you'll think it could have a place as a little transition between more raucous numbers?Do us a favorite. Take a listen and then give us your thoughts about that. Just drop an email to Charlie Bowen at designbybowen@gmail.com.About the SongAs we reported in an earlier Flood Watch article, “Am I Blue?” was a 1929 composition by Harry Akst, who had already gained fame four years earlier when he wrote what became the great Louis Armstrong's favorite tune: “Dinah.”Jazz artists from Billie Holiday to Grant Green covered “Am I Blue?” over the past near-century. Proto-rockers Eddie Cochran and Rick Nelson also recorded renditions, both in 1957. Rhythm and blues versions were done by Ray Charles in 1959 and by Fat Domino in 1961. Many women song stylists — Linda Ronstadt, Cher, Brenda Lee, Bette Midler, Dinah Washington, Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, Rita Coolidge — have covered the song. George Strait even had a No. 1 country hit with it.A lot of those renditions presented the tune slowly and deliberately. As listeners, we have no problem with that, but as players… well, that's not our style. The Flood generally is not really dirge-friendly.In fact, years ago, our beloved co-founder, the late Dave Peyton, said that if The Flood had a spirit animal, it probably would be Leon Redbone. So, our take on “Am I Blue?” is how we imagine Brother Redbone would do it. This is a public episode.

Eighty-nine years ago today, one of America's greatest — though least-known — blues artists died after months of illness. Gaunt and frail, Arthur Blake — known to blues aficionados by his stage name, “Blind Blake” — must have looked much older at the end than his 38 years.It had been a wild and sometimes wonderful decade for him. Starting in mid-1920s, he was celebrated as Paramount Records' sensational guitarist, whose distinctive playing often was compared to the sound and style of a ragtime piano.InfluencesHis intricate finger-picking was to inspire generations of guitarists, from Rev. Gary Davis to Ralph McTell, from Leon Redbone to Ry Cooder and John Fahey.Famously, blues great Big Bill Broonzy, who heard Blake in person in the early 1920s, said Arthur made his guitar “sound like every instrument in the band — saxophone, trombone, clarinets, bass fiddles, pianos, everything. I never had seen then and I haven't to this day yet seen no one that could take his natural fingers and pick as much guitar as Blind Blake."The CrashBlake recorded about 80 tracks between 1926 and 1932. His future looked bright. With his records selling well, he felt he could settle down, so he married Beatrice McGee around 1931. But then the next year it all went bad. Paramount went bankrupt in 1932 under the weight of the Great Depression. In the remaining two years of his life, Arthur Blake was plagued by poverty and by illness. A coroner's autopsy confirmed that his Dec. 1, 1934, death came because of complications from tuberculosis.The SongToday Blind Blake's legacy lives on in his recordings and through their impact on nearly a century of blues, folk and jazz musicians who travel in his shadow. In 1992, for instance, Bob Dylan honored Blake in the title of his Good as I Been to You album, on which he performed a cover of "You Gonna Quit Me Blues.”Our Take on the TuneAnd that's where The Flood comes in. We started doing the song in the mid-'90s, right after hearing Dylan's version on that album.We were looking for an easy, happy tune that we could warm up with, one that would let everybody in the room just stretch out a little. Nowadays it is just as likely to turn up as a last song of the night — as it does here — putting a bow on a great evening of music. Enjoy.Meanwhile, in Other News…By the way, we're now one month away from our big “Flood at 50” birthday bash on New Year's Eve, and the good folks at Alchemy Theatre who are hosting it have created a Facebook Event page for the do, with all kinds of additional goodies.

Fresh from a couple of weeks away, we're going for the easy listening, classic pieces from the Great American Songbook. Join Dave Stroud on a dream-laden journey on the waters of the past century of America's music as he pairs up some of the classic ballads and torch songs from the past. Mostly crooners but there's plenty of jazz and pop standards to celebrate. We'll hear pairings from The Mills Brothers and Les Paul & Mary Ford, Sinatra and Sarah Vaughan, Rosemary Clooney and Leon Redbone, Etta James, Billie Holiday, and Peggy Lee. That's the short list. We'll hear versions of “Fever”, “Dream”, “Smile”, “April in Paris” and “Autumn Leaves” in a show that reminds us that so many of these pop standards hold up well when put to the test of time. Drop by on a Friday morning where there's whispering grasses among the autumn leaves here on Sonoma County Community Radio.

I was doing a bit of rummaging and in one of those boxes were audio cassettes of a show I used to do on the American Radio Network. In the past I have found one show with Max Roach and one with Leon Redbone. Today the tape that somewhat magically appeared in my hand was the time I spent on the air with composer/pianst Carla Bley. It aired live on March 31st 1990 as part of a series I was doing which I thought of as…”Who Haven't I interviewed that I've always wanted to talk to. I'm pretty tenacious when it come to landing interviews especially with people who have never heard of me. Even in the days before podcasts, and this is really proto-podcast stuff, she had no idea who I was. Yet I persisted. Here it is, complete with station breaks and commercials.

Leon Redbone is back...uh...we mean Elliott Gould is back (but yes, Leon is too)!!!  Both return to Saturday Night for the second time on what should have been the season one finale.While there are A LOT of musical numbers sprinkled throughout the show there is also some comedy...and some of it is quite good! There is an ALL-TIME Star Trek sketch that cannot be missed, a classic Bees/Honeymooners sketch and Shirley Temple in Ghana? Yes, it's true! It's all there!This is an interesting episode of the show as it marks the 4th of 4 shows in a row.And Belushi really, REALLY delivers!

There's nothing new and special about the melody to the 1930 jazz standard “Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone.” In fact, it's a bit of a ripoff, because Sam Stept's chords are virtually the same sequence as what Ray Henderson used in his 1925 composition, "Has Anybody Seen My Gal? (Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue).”But it is the lyrics that everyone remembers, a saucy admonishment between parting paramours in which the narrator tells the erstwhile lover, “if you can't say anything real nice it's better not to talk at all, that's my advice!”Comedian / dancer / composer Sidney Clare penned those words, which have grabbed the imagination of a wide range of performers for the past 90 years, from The Mills Brothers to Willie Nelson, from Frank Sinatra to Leon Redbone, from Billie Holiday to Ann Margaret, from Bob Wills to Bill Haley. And the song has been recorded as recently as 2007 by Manteca Beat and in 2009 by The Original Rabbit Foot Spasm Band. The Comic EffectAdmiration of the tune's comic character has a long history. Norma Shearer sang it in the 1939 film “The Women” as a joke when she leaves her girlfriends at tea to take a call from her philandering husband. TV anchor Edwin Newman sang it in 1984 during his hosting of “Saturday Night Live.” And is there a boomer in the room who remembers the character Michigan J. Frog doing a killer rendition of it in the 1955 Warner Bros. cartoon “One Froggy Evening”?By the way, Sid wasn't one of your one-hit wonders. Shoot, he probably could have retired, for instance, on the royalties from “On the Good Ship Lollipop” which he wrote with Richard Whiting for Shirley Temple's 1934 film “Bright Eyes.” Hedzups, Trivia Fans! Finally, there is one more cool pop culture highlight in Sidney's bio.The Oxford English Dictionary credits Clare with the world's earliest usage on record of the term “rock and roll.” Yep, he wrote those words in 1934 in his soundtrack for a movie called “Transatlantic Merry-Go-Round.”Sidney Clare was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1970, two years before his death at 82.Our Take on the TuneFor us, a perfect warmup song to get ready for an evening of music is one whose chords are familiar enough that we don't have to think about them too hard, but also give us enough stretching out room so that we can just sit back and enjoy each other's company. This happy tune from Grandpa's day checks all the boxes. This is a public episode.

Over the years of this podcast…eight to be exact…one of our favorite guests has been OMN's National Editor Art Levine. He's a journalist with international cred. His book Mental Health Inc is a very serious work. He has been an editor at the Washington Monthly and has written very funny pieces for National Lampoon, among many others. We always have fun when he's on this podcast. We're going to talk about the best interviews we've ever done including James Brown, Ruth Brown, Leon Redbone, Hank Ballard, Storm Large and many others. It's always fun to talk to Art. We've been friends for fifty years. That's scary.

Gotta get my old tuxedo pressed, gotta sew a button on my vest,'cause tonight I've gotta look my best, Lulu's back in town!Okay, you probably never heard of a songwriter named Harry Warren. But we bet that you know —and can even hum — many of his tunes. Warren was nominated 11 times for the Academy Award for Best Original Song, and he won three of those Oscars, for “Lullaby of Broadway” in 1935, for “You'll Never Know” in 1943 and for “On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe” in 1946.In a career spanning six decades, Warren wrote more than 800 songs. Besides those Oscar biggies, Warren's better known pieces include novelty tunes like “Jeepers Creepers,” “You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby” and “Chattanooga Choo Choo” (which was the first gold record in history). And ballads like “I Only Have Eyes for You” and “There Will Never Be Another You.” He also penned signature tunes like “That's Amore,” which Dean Martin claimed as his own, and — best of all! — “At Last,” which simply belonged to the great Etta James.At the MoviesDespite his million-dollar portfolio, Warren remains “the invisible man,” observed journalist William Zinsser, “his career a prime example of the oblivion that cloaked so many writers who cranked out good songs for bad movies."Uh, LOTS of bad (and, well, some good) movies. Harry Warren songs have been featured in more than 300 films over the years. He wrote the music for the first blockbuster film musical, 1933's “42nd Street,” choreographed by Busby Berkeley, with whom Warren often would collaborate. But perhaps an even greater claim to fame for our generation is that fact that Warren songs starred in no fewer than 112 Warner Bros., Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons.Welcome Home, Lulu!In 1932, Harry went to work for Warner Brothers studio, where he was paired with an old friend, lyricist Al Dubin. Over the next six years, the two would churn out five dozen songs for 33 musicals, including a long-time favorite of ours.“Lulu's Back in Town” was first performed by the Mills Brothers in the 1935 musical “Broadway Gondolier.” While the film was a highly forgettable Dick Powell-Joan Blondell vehicle, the song itself had legs, especially when it was recorded that same spring by Flood hero Fats Waller, who charted with “Lulu.”Subsequently, the song charmed everyone from Mel Tormé and Wingy Manone to Art Tatum to Oscar Peterson. In the Floodisphere, an especially influential rendition of the song was Leon Redbone's performance on his 1975 “On the Track” debut album. Our first recording of it was 20 years ago on our 2nd album. And Lulu has has come back to visit us with each new configurations of the band.Our Take on the TuneWe'll be returning next week to one of our all-time favorite local venues, playing for the good folks up the hill at Woodlands Retirement Community. It's a wonderful place where we've played regularly for the past 20 years or more. And this time, our old buddy, Floodster Emeritus Paul Martin, is back to sit in with us. Here's something we're dusting off for the evening … you know, just in case Lulu is in the audience. This is a public episode.

 Over the years, many of renditions of this song have presented the tune slowly and deliberately, but that's not our style. Anyone who knows us knows The Flood is not really dirge-friendly. In fact, years ago, our beloved co-founder Dave Peyton said that if The Flood had a spirit animal, it probably would be Leon Redbone. So, our take on “Am I Blue?” is how we imagine Brother Redbone would do it.

Born in New York City in the waning years of the 19th century, Harry Akst started out as a vaudeville pianist, backing Nora Bayes as she belted out tunes like “Shine On, Harvest Moon.”In 1916 Harry enlisted in the army, and while at Camp Upton in Yaphank, NY, on Long Island, he befriended another young composer, Irving Berlin. At the end of World War I, Akst and Berlin collaborated on the No. 2 recording of 1921, "Home Again Blues.”Then in 1925, Akst teamed up with lyricists Sam Lewis and Joe Young, to write “Dinah,” one of the most recorded songs from the Roarin' Twenties. As noted in last week's podcast, "Dinah" was introduced by Ethel Waters at the Plantation Club on Broadway within a year of its composition. It went on to be recorded by everyone from Louis Armstrong, Fletcher Henderson, Cab Calloway and Josephine Baker to Bing Crosby, the Mills Brothers and the Boswell Sisters to Chet Baker, Thelonious Monk and Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli. Enter “Am I Blue?”So our Harry already was a well-established songsmith when four years later he wrote “Am I Blue?” Right off the bat, it was another hit for Ethel Waters, this time in 1929's “On With the Show,” the first all-talking, all-color feature length movie in history.“Am I Blue?" was Waters' biggest hit (No. 1 for two weeks) and became her signature tune. Her Columbia recording, waxxed with a studio orchestra on May 14, 1929, was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2007.Over the past 90+ years, Hollywood has fallen madly in love with “Am I Blue?” To date, the song has appeared in more than 40 movies, four in the year 1929 alone.Our particular favorite is Hoagy Carmichael's saucy 1944 performance of the tune for Lauren Bacall in Howard Hawks' “To Have and Have Not.” More recently, the song has been used in “Funny Lady” (1975 ), “The Cotton Club” (1984 ) and this year's “Downton Abbey: A New Era.”It probably was the celluloid success of “Am I Blue?” that prompted Harry Akst's decision to leave his native New York City for the West Coast, settling in Hollywood in the late '20s to work on dozens of movie scores over the next three decades.Harry even got a little screen time himself. You can catch glimpses of him as “Jerry” — rehearsal pianist, show pit orchestra conductor and concertmaster — in 1933's “42nd Street.” (Some of the same footage also was used later in “Gold Diggers of 1937.”)Multiple GenresA wide variety of styles have been applied to “Am I Blue?” over the years.Jazz artists from Billie Holiday to Grant Green covered it. Proto-rockers Eddie Cochran and Rick Nelson both recorded renditions in 1957. Rhythm and blues versions were done by Ray Charles in 1959 and Fat Domino in 1961. Many women song stylists -- Linda Ronstadt, Cher, Brenda Lee, Bette Midler, Dinah Washington, Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, Rita Coolidge — have covered the song. George Strait even had a No. 1 country hit with it.Our Take on the TuneA lot of those renditions presented the tune slowly and deliberately, but that's not our style. Anyone who knows us knows The Flood is not really dirge-friendly. In fact, years ago, our beloved co-founder Dave Peyton said that if The Flood had a spirit animal, it probably would be Leon Redbone.

Bill starts the show by waving Matt off, which Matt does not accept favorably. Leon Redbone pops by for a sec, which is always a treat. The fellas discuss the short-shorts era in the NBA. Pacino is still the best hand actor we've ever seen. Ricky's fabrications are getting more impressive as the con continues. Jim gets activated for a moment. Ricky struggles thru these moments but uses modern dance to express his utter disbelief. Jonathan Pryce is glorious. A very helpful secretary, tries to give Ginny Lingk a word to the wise. This sparks a stand alone “Ginny Movie” idea from the boys. The fellas discuss a part of the office that we haven't spent a lot of time in before now. Aaranow pitches in, making the printed motivational signs. The fellas talk about the perforations in early printer paper, cause why not? Our heroes get into a WWTP to cast a “Ginny.” Bill is Anti-Fonda and cant get past his own barriers. The fellas get some help from the @Scotthdc out of the GGGR twittersphere with a whole cast, re-casting. The fellas got GIFTS that they absolutely did not deserve (thank you @SReyngoudt). Bill starts everything he does with a step backward. The Romaville Cheesy Jingle Singers get brought to the fore, submissions forthcoming. Bill wants every “U” to be liquid. Matt wants all his lunches to be liquid.(Matt wants everyone to know it's his birthday and that anything from the Johnny Walker family of scotches can make the perfect gift for the perturbed, executive podcaster in your life.)

Matt always winds up back at asshole. Subscribers are thinking, “wow.” Terbium gets the fellas off on an environmental activism jag. Bill debuts and retires his Sammy Hagar impression. Shelly demands that Williamson, “Hand me out!” Does Williamson have a phone or not? Any tea-bagging from Shelly is barely a knee-bend. Ricky Roma, private dick: salesman-detective extraordinaire gets brought into the light. The fellas finally get back to Romaville. The fellas shudder at the thought that a man is “his job.” Matt points out that being on a sit and sitting with a customer are two different things. Leon Redbone swings around and brings that signature sound to the GGGR world. This inexplicably turns into a WWTP, where Rickman gets cast. From there its just straight-fizzle.
