I know it’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything worth listening to, and today is no exception.
You may recall in a discussion Marc and I had in our last podcast, about a show that Marc screwed up pretty badly. We referred to it as “The Lost Podcast”, and we told you it would never see the light of day.
Well, that turns out to not be completely true.
As testament to Marc’s unique problem solving abilities, he managed to get the show into a listenable form. Well, maybe “listenable” is a bit of an overpromise, but he did make a show out of it.
And how did he do that? By stripping out his half of the conversation completely.
Really, I don’t know why we didn’t think of it before. Less Marc is exactly what this little enterprise needed.
We will return to regular programming next week, with a podcast we recorded yesterday. And we’ll be featuring your bizarre dream phone calls, so don’t say I didn’t warn you.
But for now, sit back and enjoy the disjointed pod stylings of this hellish experiment. I should warn you that it does get a bit nonsensical here and there without Marc’s track. But you and I both know that you don’t listen for cohesive storytelling.
You listen so you have something on while you’re getting drunk.

This is depraved, unnatural, disturbing, warped & horrifying.
If only ALL media was like this.
Thank you.

That las sentence by April just summed it all up. Haven’t even listened yet. But I’m getting primed. Oh but to have Mister K to listen to right now to interpret the financial landslide and scold the Bushites for their atrocities is Iraq.

I feel like I’m in a friend’s kitchen, and she’s ignoring my presence and proceeds with a half hour phone call. So I feel like I’m eavesdropping and pissed off at the same time.
Will have to listen later, after I realize I’m an idiot to be irritated because I don’t know April and she isn’t ignoring me by talking to her good friend Marc on the phone.
I did have a humdinger of a dream — about April herself. Forgot to call it in.

Magical. It’s like standing in line at the bank, minus all the talk about cotton crotch panels and panty-shields.

This is what it would be like if April podcasted when she talked with the voices in her head

“You listen so you have something on while you’re getting drunk.”
Goddammit, I wish that were just slightly less true. Oh,well. Time to put on the headphones, go out to the garage, and crack a beer…

like a new podcast is gonna shut me up. I took the time to re-read ballard’s ‘why I want to fuck ronald reagan’ substituing ‘barack obama’ in for ‘ronald reagan’ and it works brilliantly. everyone should try this. Ballard transcribed this story (without the title) and handed it out as a ‘pro reagan’ political tract at the 1980 republican convention and got lots of positive feedback. I wonder if he would mind if I did an obama one at the dems this year. He did say right after princess di’s death that history wrote a sequel to ‘crash’ for him so I think he might be up for it.

I knew it. Marc Germain is dead. Or he’s being waterboarded in some dank dungeon in Eastern Europe. Don’t be fooled by this cruel charade. And now April is stealing Marc’s audience as her part in the plot to effectively ‘assassinate the memory of Marc. The shame! The shame!
MARC GERMAIN TRUTH!
FREE MARC GERMAIN!

Is this what we have come to? How low we have sunk? Jonesing so much for a Winchell & Germain podcast that we’ll listen to half of one?
Yes, please.
Thank you sir. May I have another?

You can’t hear Mark.
Were we listening to Mark in the other podcasts?

Wow, it was just like when she was on KFI. But maybe thus made a little? more sense, or maybe less sense. As an avid April fan i don’t really look for “sense” any more.

I got my wife the organic Ben & Jerry’s Chocolate Brownie ice cream, cause it was the same price as the inorganic, and she ate some and I said, Did you know it’s organic?” and she said “yeah, I can taste it…….tastes like dirt”

Man, I wish I had called in with my recent weird dream for your next podcast. It even has a celebrity in it!
Why yes! That’s a great idea! I’ll just recount it for you here, because I know you are all dying to hear it:
I am in a college class. The female professor has us all watching some movie like Wuthering Heights or something. Sitting next to me is Michael J. Fox, who starts telling me some odd joke. He begins with, “Heard the one about the Jew who goes into this department store…?” I am trying to watch the movie, but at the same time I’m trying to act like I am listening to Michael. He is leaning on my desk as he is telling me the joke, and seems unable to keep his voice at a whisper; he keeps breaking into full volume. He also seems nervous like he is trying to impress me, and is sweating profusely on my desk. The “joke” goes on and on. It’s a whole story. So he finally gets to the punch line, which is something like, “… and the fish was a balloon!” It makes no sense whatsoever to me, anyway. Michael is going, “Get it? Get it?” and I am nodding and half-grinning as if I understood, and just wishing he would shut up. The movie ends, and the professor says we have to write an essay on it. I ask if there is some sort of hand-out guide regarding what it is she wants from the essay. Clearly angry that I was letting Michael distract me from the movie, she curtly tells me, “No.”
This must mean I want to have a baby.

I can’t believe you used your Keurig during that. Mine’s so loud it’s like a jackhammer in my kitchen. But I still love it and want to marry it.

I agree with Jim and all the adjectives he used to describe this podcast. Made me feel all SKEEBOZO!!!!!
23 pal Jacky // Mar 21, 2008 at 7:59 pm
here’s a solution to the democrats dilemma. Clinton should become VP on the ticket then get Obama assassinated once he’s in office. LBJ did it in the sixties so we know it works.

Mister K ’s been rendition to Oompa-Loompa being hung from the rafters forced to listen to nonstop sports reporting and all anybody can do is fret over their coffee maker and cell phone commercials. You’ll never be Minions. Consider yourselves victims of the Minion weeding-out process.

Here’s good tip. When the conversation turns to butt fucking in films don’t say Maria Schriver when you mean Maria schneider.
“in the city where they do it with class
all the girls like to bet fucked up the ass
I wish they could all be sodom girls”
Mentors-women from sodom

I’ll bet Fabio Lanzoni could teach Marlon Brando a thing or two.

Marlon: ‘Always include a pig in your threesom’
Fabio: ‘psssst’

When it comes to revealing the full extend of American politicians’ philandering – Where is Larry Flynt? Republicans have the CIA, Homeland Security, FBI and National Security. For the rest of America there’s SUPER GIMP.

It would be the ultimate test for fabio. Could he get maria S. to ask ‘I can’t believe its not butter’?
36 gary // Mar 24, 2008 at 10:46 pm
Paljacky, you’re the one in Torrance, right?
You need to leave Torrance.
I know how it is. When that inversion layer is in full effect it cuts off the oxygen to the brain.
Time to move.
Take it from me.
37 pal Jacky // Mar 25, 2008 at 3:18 am
Gary, it comes from the gas law of basic chemistry PV/=P’V'/T’. IE palos verdes over torrance is a constant. In other words, leaving town at this point would do nothing. It is just too late for me. Like Brad davis turning the dice in ‘querelle’, I’ve changed my fate towards the worse on purpose.

Well I hope you give your brain cells a lovely parting gift
39 pal Jacky // Mar 25, 2008 at 1:45 pm
we had dinner at the new P.F. chang’s in del almo. nothing says brain dead more than pfchangs. Now that there is one in torrance there’s no reason to leave the city at all. Blue tooth users are completely annoying. It has taken all the fun out of yapping away to myself at great volume. People just think I’m rude.I was born two or three years too late.

Well, sort of. He would sway back or forward abruptly once in a while, usually when he switched between whispering and talking loudly. It’s like he was his own volume control lever.

April, I just listened to this and have come to a few conclusions. First, you’re funnier without him. In fact, I hardly noticed he wasn’t there. Second, I wish you would talk about stuff like Target and your moving horror stories when you do radio fill-in work, instead of the usual radio topics (they make you cover.) The podcast material is far more interesting and unique. Third, you need to get a wireless mic and some webcams, so you can freely move about your house while you podcast. We could even turn your podcast into an episode of Big Brother, watching you feed your dogs, listen to the neighbors having sex, and yelling at the sirens as they go by. And finally, you need to do a remote podcast at a Target store, so we can hear you talking to yourself as you wander the aisles, commenting on the crap you can’t resist buying. Now that’s some damn fine podcast there.
