  Um, Umpires cancel/postpone games not teams. I think that would be A-Rod rather than Jeter who is the pussy boy! So besides not seeing the game, and getting a cold as a result ,did you have an otherwise good time in the land of dismal Spring time weather?

  ‘Cause I love that dirty water,
  Oh, Boston you’re my home.

  Second!

  Is it true this is the last year for Yankee Stadium? That’s tragic, just tragic.

  Mmmmmm. NyQuil. Oh ho ho ho ho.

  I HATE it when my fade gets wet

• 5 michael // Apr 5, 2008 at 3:17 pm

  I hope you feel better soon April.

  PS. I enjoy all of your podcasts and appreciate all of the hard work that goes into producing each episode.

• 6 pal Jacky // Apr 5, 2008 at 3:20 pm

  what is all this crap about Mariah carry and elvis. That fact that she has more top ten singles or whatever does not change the fact that she should be put in a small room and gassed.

• 7 pal Jacky // Apr 5, 2008 at 3:27 pm

  the best thing about nyquil, other than it comes with its own shot glass, is that after the bars close, you can still buy it at seven eleven. I think the worst part was thinking that the clerks actually cared as I tried to fool them into thinking that I was sick at three in the morning, only to be cured by nyquil and slim jims.

• 8 pal Jacky // Apr 5, 2008 at 3:36 pm

  let us not forget the alternate pleasure of Robotussin DM. It must be the ‘DM’, even the generic equilvilents stress the ‘DM. The ‘dextramaolosomethinglikethis’ is the ingredient in nyquil which causes the actual hallucinations. Mixed with alcohol is a very good thing. But alcohol is what puts the ‘nyq’ in nyquil. Robo DM actually keeps you awake to enjoy your ’sights’ all night. Two or three times the amount directed is best, like aI needed to tell you guys that.

  Last year for both Yankee AND Shea Stadiums

  A sobering thought…Shea Stadium is older than Yankee Stadium was when Shea Stadium was built.

  Sobering for me anyway, cause I remember when it opened

• 10 thefifthbeatle // Apr 5, 2008 at 5:57 pm

  Sorry to hear about your horrendous cold, April. Hope you feel better.

  Also, can’t wait for the next podcast! Those things make my week significantly less boring.

  “Um, Umpires cancel/postpone games not teams. I think that would be A-Rod rather than Jeter who is the pussy boy! ”

  Um, Scott, all baseball players are pussies, and many sit out a entire season because they had a raindrop fall on them.

  I think baseball would be a better game if they were aloud to play in inclement weather.

• 12 JohnnyBoy // Apr 5, 2008 at 6:50 pm

  My ideas of Arena Football but with Midgets, and Basketball with a Medicine Ball, are, in my opinion, suggestions which should be adopted before playing Baseball in the Rain

• 13 eBayEnigma // Apr 5, 2008 at 6:50 pm

  pal Jacky…you totally crack me up! Thanks for the chuckles, I needed that! =)

• 14 JohnnyBoy // Apr 5, 2008 at 6:51 pm

  and they could get away a lot cheaper if they went with B or C Rod, or even further down the Alphabet

• 15 JohnnyBoy // Apr 5, 2008 at 6:53 pm

  eBayEnigma, I totally agree…….palJacky is a fine contributor indeed

• 16 thefifthbeatle // Apr 5, 2008 at 7:11 pm

  Mavis, I totally agree – the general MLB player is a simpering, hypersensitive puss.

  OH WELL, I don’t particularly care for sports anyway so…

• 17 xlistnerliz // Apr 5, 2008 at 7:43 pm

  Feel better April. Was John suprised? Is he still hot? That was a stupid question. I await your new podcast with excitement and a little fear. I have to tell you that the last podcast with Mark really got me. I feel you girl. It made me cry a little. ((((hugs)))) get better quick!!

• 18 inerror // Apr 5, 2008 at 9:49 pm

  Bout time Marc got off his ass and stand at his post and do his duty editing the pods. Now all April has to worry about is he’ll get so full of himself he’ll take off on his own running his own podshow. Where’s the interactivity though. There ought to be interactivity because Mister K always stated that God was not interactive but that he was and that was his job to fill in where God had failed.

• 19 Duns // Apr 5, 2008 at 10:02 pm

  That Yankee team should get the bats and balls all wet every now and then, it could relieve a lot of tension in the game!

  and ‘hay tea and tea’ really needs to get it up.

• 20 Scott // Apr 5, 2008 at 11:05 pm

  Mavis said,”Um, Scott, all baseball players are pussies, and many sit out a entire season because they had a raindrop fall on them.”

  Now is your chance to thrill us with superior baseball knowledge. Name one.

• 21 Mavis // Apr 5, 2008 at 11:36 pm

  “Now is your chance to thrill us with superior baseball knowledge. Name one.”

  Get a grip, it’s called sarcasm.

  Learn to get a hint of humor and then get back to me.

  Sheesh!

• 22 Scott // Apr 5, 2008 at 11:42 pm

  So was mine (sarcasm.) As you said, “Get a grip.”

• 23 TalkinHorse // Apr 5, 2008 at 11:55 pm

  An airplane is like a Petri dish incubating every disease known to man.

• 24 davidhazard71 // Apr 6, 2008 at 1:34 am

  sorry you have a cold …again. I remember not that long ago you had a flu? I had no clue you were using AT&T as an ISP ewww. What is your cable company there? We have Time Warner for cable and Verizon for Fiber Optics. I know dealing with the non or half speaking english on the other end is pure joy. I had them as a phone service provider. I’d stick to the cable company. By the way i don’t know of all the hoopla over Mariah Carey, I still listen to jazz and soft rock. It seems at least in the 70’s and 80s there was something to listen to as far as music. Old fashioned i guess. Any who…Get Well Soon April.

• 25 Speedy Cerviche // Apr 6, 2008 at 1:52 am

  Holy shit, there’s some serious fucking business going on over here.

  Baseball, man. Makes people get all pissy and stuff.

• 26 godzthor1 // Apr 6, 2008 at 2:01 am

  Top Chef? Top Chef!?! Boy, I sure hope you watched SNL this week for the Christopher Walken Top Chef skit…

• 27 Speedy Cerviche // Apr 6, 2008 at 2:01 am

  Stupid internets and the google too

• 29 eBayEnigma // Apr 6, 2008 at 10:01 am

  Thanks Speedy for posting the YouTube link. It reminded me of just how much I enjoy Carlin’s well thought out and so brutally honest musings. He’s one of a kind!

• 30 pal Jacky // Apr 6, 2008 at 11:39 am

  if I remember correctly, it has been a while, one 4-oz bottle of Robo DM drank all at once on an empty stomach is a good starting place. Don’t drink with it alcohol. the two together just zonk you out.You’ll be up all night. April, wait until you are better, you don’t want to waste it while you sick. If you are sick nyquil is great since it enhances the ‘fever dreams’. remember this ditty
  “nyquil when sick,
  robo dee-em when well.
  all the things you see
  come straight out of hell.”
  If you forget it, just ask your pharmasist

• 31 inerror // Apr 6, 2008 at 12:05 pm

  No more sports talk.

  Should Mister K read this comment section he would become extremely disrobed with all the talk of sports. This condition in genetically ingrained into his nature and you have as much programming it out of him as programming a change in someone’s sexual orientation. Stop trying to “cure” Mister K’s sports aversion. We, his true admirers accept him as he is.

• 32 inerror // Apr 6, 2008 at 12:05 pm

  Damned spell checker. I meant distraught.

• 33 JohnnyBoy // Apr 6, 2008 at 12:19 pm

  or we could start referring to him as Mr. Strikeout

• 34 inerror // Apr 6, 2008 at 12:29 pm

  You’re on our list JohnnyBoy

• 35 pal Jacky // Apr 6, 2008 at 12:54 pm

  Typos galore post 29.
  If you do robo dm and start to scratch the next day, I’ve got a cure!! Benedryl and vodka!!! you skin will feel numb. I’m talking just from the dentist root canal face dead to the world numb. Only its much more enjoyable because it doesn’t ‘tingle’ when it wears off. Start slow, no more than three times the recommended dosage of Benedryl at first. remember when it comes to OTC medications it is the side effects that are the most important

• 36 pal Jacky // Apr 6, 2008 at 12:57 pm

  actually, I hate most sports as well. though on a fluke I was actually in the stands for cal’s ‘big play’ against stanford and their band 25 years ago. Or was it SC? all I know is that they still show it on sports bloopers and I was there. Cal was much better when it was the worse team of the pac-10. It even gave me sports pride.

• 37 Andre // Apr 6, 2008 at 2:55 pm

  inerror…

  Talk about your Freudian slips. Mr. K “extremely disrobed”? I guess we now know what you dream about.

  Rowr!

• 38 Andre // Apr 6, 2008 at 2:58 pm

  Also, in “Celebrities Who Insist on Singing” news, Scarlett Johansson’s album is set to drop (into the bowl, no doubt) any day now.

• 39 inerror // Apr 6, 2008 at 3:19 pm

  Though I appreciate all Mister K does, seeing him disrobed or distraught are not among my ambition. The error in choice of word was purely the random presentation of choices by Firefox’s word checker and my impatient right index finger.

• 40 darkkommissar // Apr 6, 2008 at 4:20 pm

  I have heard a great story about A-rod. It involves picking uo college chicks and what he refers to himself as, if april wants to know more, i will email her.

• 41 JohnnyBoy // Apr 6, 2008 at 4:28 pm

  “You’re on our list JohnnyBoy”

  Is this a good list, like Schindler’s or Franz?

• 42 jim // Apr 6, 2008 at 8:13 pm

  Pretty sure AT&T were one of the companies that actively supported Hitler, which may’ve resulted in their taking on his warm soft cuddly character.

  You vill pay ze bill on time, OR ELSE! Customer service iss fur ze veak! Today e-mail, tomorrow ze VORLD! (etc.)

  E-mails should never bounce, that’s only for checks.
  A Scarlett Johannson music-video would be awesome – just remember to mute first, THEN ogle.

• 43 inerror // Apr 6, 2008 at 8:19 pm

  JohnnyBoy. I flip a coin. You call it. You may get lucky and get off the list. Otherwise…it’s the best I can do.

• 44 inerror // Apr 6, 2008 at 8:24 pm

  And that was IT&T that owned subsidiaries in Germany that made war materials for the Nazis.

• 45 JohnnyBoy // Apr 6, 2008 at 9:07 pm

  I think I had better stay on the list, then.

• 46 Bitsey // Apr 6, 2008 at 10:00 pm

  To Ape’s fans: Yes, AT&T is a pile of dung. As is Verizon. As is AOL . Escalating, as is Level3. etc. etc. and so forth. All of these assholes have sold you out for favor of (Indian?) tech support, while your local ISPs are suffering and dwindling, and fading away into nothing. They still have people on staff willing to help you with tech support in English. They’ll even come to your home. Yes, I speak from experience.

  April, I keep hearing your voice on my kids’ Phineas and Ferb . I hope it’s you because otherwise someone is ripping off your voice.

• 47 Bitsey // Apr 6, 2008 at 10:03 pm

  Don’ forget. It’s Internetz. With a Z.

• 48 weizer2 // Apr 6, 2008 at 11:23 pm

  AT&T must really suck because there is no pod cast yet.

• 49 inerror // Apr 7, 2008 at 1:29 am

  I guess no one mentioned that Mister K only has dial up internet access. He’s uploading a 1.2 gig file to the server at 56k dialup speed. Don’t hold your breath.

• 50 pal Jacky // Apr 7, 2008 at 4:16 am

  ‘kenny vs. spenny’ report.
  The boys did viral videos. Kenny greenscreened himself onto the top the Hilton Hotel in paris. He gyrated grotesquely in a tiny red bikini. He called it ‘Kenny holtz on top of paris hilton’ which got more hits than ’spenny drinks his own pee’. I used to feel sorry for spenny, but I realize now he is just a wimpola who deserves everything kenny does to him.

• 51 eBayEnigma // Apr 7, 2008 at 8:06 am

  Unfortunately I have AOL, or AOHELL as we call it. It’s slower than slow and the last time I called tech support the guy that answered had the thickest Indian accent (I could barely understand him) and he said his name was “Logan.”
  Uh-huh.

• 52 JohnnyBoy // Apr 7, 2008 at 8:12 am

  They are rated by how quickly they get you off the phone, so if he were to say his real name, it would take up a lot of valuable phone minutes

• 53 eBayEnigma // Apr 7, 2008 at 8:16 am

  I do believe you are right, JohnnyBoy. His real name was probably Macawawaleelangfoodumzeedahdahdeh.

• 54 JohnnyBoy // Apr 7, 2008 at 8:58 am

  Yeah, he’s better off with “Loogie”

• 55 socalfrank // Apr 7, 2008 at 9:05 am

  When I heard the Yankee opener was canceled, I thought…Bummer for April, but this is going to make for a terrific podcast! I can hardly wait.

• 56 JohnnyBoy // Apr 7, 2008 at 1:07 pm

  Last!

• 57 Speedy Cerviche // Apr 7, 2008 at 3:04 pm

  JohnnyBoy, it seems you had a little typo there.

  You misspelled “second-to-last”.
