I’ll tell you what’s up. Plenty.
And brother, this would be a mighty exciting post if I could tell you about it!
But I can’t.
Not at liberty, as they say in the super-secret show business world.
But I can tell you this.
The reason Marc and I have not been podcasting is because we have been very busy working on something we can’t talk about yet. But soon. And if it all comes to pass, you won’t need those stinking podcasts, because you’ll be able to hear us every day!
Can you imagine? 5 days a week. Hours and hours of high quality comedy infotainmentising. It’s a dream come true!
I’ve said too much.
But it is exciting.
Anyway, we’re both working pretty hard right now, like a couple of Keebler Elves, making fresh baked radio in a hollow tree outside of the Fudge ‘Ems Forest.
I have no idea what I’m talking about at this point.
Anyway, I don’t really know when we’ll get another podcast up, because this whole venture is very labor intensive. And the clock is ticking. We’re just hurtling toward a deadline which I can’t even disclose because it’s all very hush hush. But it may or may not be July.
In any case, I’m giving you a couple of delightful mp3s today to tide you over. And these aren’t just some crappy files I had laying around. These are some really good files I had laying around*. In fact, a few have made it to my Top Ten Favorite mp3s. That’s how good these are!
Starting with this one.
I mean come on! That’s just incredible, isn’t it?
It is, right?
Right?
Oh, fuck you then.
Here are the rest:
CELEBRITIES WHO SHOULDN’T BE SINGING:
George Takei on the rapidly canceled Hidden Talents of the Stars.
BEATLES COVERS:
I Feel Fine (Carlos Malta) Peppy!
The Night Before (Carlos Malta) Zippy!

FINALLY but you are STILL going to have to put podcasts up so that people like me in I-da-ho can download them just for the shits and giggles
5 April // Apr 18, 2008 at 1:01 pm
Who says you won’t be able to hear us in Idaho?
And now I really must shut up.
6 Speedy Cerviche // Apr 18, 2008 at 1:02 pm
April, I have some questions.
1. Have you considered my post concerning your mp3 page?
2. Whatever happened to those “lost tapes” from your KFI days?
Also, I already have a Sirius radio.
7 April // Apr 18, 2008 at 1:15 pm
Speedy:
1. I don’t remember your post. Was it the one about not calling Dokaka “Kaka”? Because that’s not going to happen.
2. I haven’t found the box yet. I think I know where it is, but it may be a while before I can get into that storage area and look for it.
I don’t have satellite radio.
8 PaulJonnes // Apr 18, 2008 at 1:25 pm
Nice mp3s and all but do you have copyright over these songs? I remember I got sued for making a T-shirt with TheWineKone logo on it
Damn Viacom!
9 April // Apr 18, 2008 at 1:34 pm
Were you selling the T-shirts? This site doesn’t make any money. I don’t even have ads. Because I’m such a good business person.
Anyway, most everything here is out of print, in the public domain or I have permission. Anything else will be removed if the copyright holder asks me to.

You’re starting a national chain of french toast donut houses, and your nation-wide ad campaign starts Monday?
11 coasterboy // Apr 18, 2008 at 1:41 pm
I’m betting it’s satellite radio. Cause what else is there in Idaho?
12 inerror // Apr 18, 2008 at 1:42 pm
Where’s the poop? What happened to the poop?
13 sgtdilbert // Apr 18, 2008 at 1:43 pm
PUUUUHLEASE let it be a satellite radio show. I canceled my XM subscription, but I’d happily go out and buy a new radio and new subscription to have you two on the air alone, let alone together.
14 coasterboy // Apr 18, 2008 at 1:49 pm
Maybe you two could go gay and replace Derek & Romaine on Sirius Out Q.
15 weizer2 // Apr 18, 2008 at 2:06 pm
I hope it’s not on satellite…I can’t afford it and would never be able to hear the show.
16 msc // Apr 18, 2008 at 2:08 pm
where did that Darth Vader theme come from? i want more.
17 socalfrank // Apr 18, 2008 at 2:09 pm
I-da-hope it’s not satellite too, but might have to consider subscribing if it is.
18 phoebefigalilly // Apr 18, 2008 at 2:44 pm
Now without you saying too much, which would be a sin…if say Hunnyoil were per chance able to hear you in Idaho, which has nothing…? Syracuse, NY has an equal amount of nothing…might we be able to hear you here?
19 coasterboy // Apr 18, 2008 at 2:53 pm
BTW, Love the lullaby version of “Teen Spirit”. Kind of deliciously subversive.
20 April // Apr 18, 2008 at 2:57 pm
You just might.
And it will be free.
As far as I know.
Must stop talking.

Aww, crud. The moment I manage to think of some good topics for podcasts, they move on to other pastures.
Just in case you can use them, here they are:
*Are there any times, Ms. Winchell when your lisp comes back? Like when you’re angry? Or having an orgasm? (”Yeth, baby, YETH!”)
*What are Ms. Winchell and Mr. K doing to economize now that they are under-employed? Leaving smaller tips at Souplantation?
*Please describe your most recent Celebrity Dream.
For what it’s worth…
23 DavidinBerkeley // Apr 18, 2008 at 4:40 pm
I look forward to whatever you do, Ms. Winchell, so I’m very excited about whatever it is.
24 DavidinBerkeley // Apr 18, 2008 at 4:40 pm
It is my aim…
25 DavidinBerkeley // Apr 18, 2008 at 4:42 pm
….herein….
26 DavidinBerkeley // Apr 18, 2008 at 4:43 pm
… to fill up the “and then you’re like…” folder.
27 DavidinBerkeley // Apr 18, 2008 at 4:43 pm
Success! Nerd victory!

Oh my GOD! Oh My GOD! OH MY GOD!!!!!
You’re bringing back “Winchell - Mahoney Time” with Marc co -starring as The New Mahoney?!?!?!??!
I wanna see where you put your hand!!!!!!
29 theFatTubist // Apr 18, 2008 at 5:58 pm
I approve of today’s rendition of the Imperial March. Tuba plays like it should: drunk and half-asleep or in a drug induced haze.
30 TalkinHorse // Apr 18, 2008 at 6:21 pm
Whatever could this tantalizing tease possibly mean? We know that April and Marc have been shitcanned from every respectable radio station in the nation. Maybe they’re working on infomercials, or perhaps planning a move to Mexican pirate radio. It wouldn’t surprise me if April is blackmailing some media bigwig…she’s using a photoshopped image, of course, but maybe she faked a liaison that really happened, so the poor schmuck thinks someone has the goods on him. It’s been whispered that April and Marc are to be drafted as Democrat candidates in order to break the convention deadlock, but no one knows which of the due will top the ticket.
Whatever is may be…Best of luck, gang!
31 michael // Apr 18, 2008 at 7:08 pm
I’m so excited, I wish both you and Mark the very best in whatever endeavor this might be.
32 Speedy Cerviche // Apr 18, 2008 at 7:08 pm
April’s being so tight-lipped. Time to pool what we know:
1. The project is some sort of radio program that will be heard 5 days a week.
2. It involves Marc “Mr. KFIABCTLK” Germain.
3. It will not be a satellite or “HD” radio show, as April stated that it will be free.
4. It can be heard in the flyover states. This means it will either be syndicated or broadcast over the internet. I’m guessing the latter.
And finally,
5. It will be a prerecorded radio feature done all at once (probably as we speak), and then released bit by bit. We can deduce this by the “deadline” that April and Marc are working towards, and the fact that they’re producing what sounds like a metric shit ton of content before said deadline. As far as I know, a live show does not entail this.
My guess: a five-day-a-week daily prerecorded short featuring April and Marc ranting about a “topic of the day” a la Nick Michaels. This will probably be broadcast in LA or thereabouts, and then archived on the web for the rest of the world to enjoy.
Not as good as a real show, but at least April will be making some money now. She’ll finally be able to pull herself out of this cycle of poverty. This Europe-vacationing, luxury apartment-living, retro-chic tableware-buying cycle of poverty. We’re all pulling for you.

Looking forward to enjoying the fruits of your media loom.
Saying you & Marc can make your contemporaries look like drivelling yuts without even breaking a sweat isn’t really saying much, in this day & age - so I’ll say it.
Owie owie owie.
Sulu needs to stick to engaging the warp-drive.
Hory Fluck!
Why were they clapping & cheering?
REALLY good weed?!?
NOW at last, princess, I really KNOW where you’ve hidden the plans for the Death Star!
Ewwwwww! Gross!
Not. Going There. Ever.
Uh, go ahead, keep ‘em.
35 thefifthbeatle // Apr 18, 2008 at 9:02 pm
Ooh! I’m postively BRIMMING with excitement!
I think I’ll go listen to some Wing as a hype-reducer.
36 JohnnyQuest // Apr 18, 2008 at 9:04 pm
Or, it could just be another podcast, really - April said we won’t need “those” stinking podcasts, but maybe it’s because we’ve got a steaming pile of “these” stinking podcasts instead!
37 Dylan // Apr 18, 2008 at 9:53 pm
Whatever it is, I’m looking forward to it. You definitely deserve a regular show and some mainstream success, April.
38 Hunnyoil // Apr 18, 2008 at 11:01 pm
THINK PEOPLE, THINK!!!
Could it be something on TV?
Door to door?
Tin can to Tin can?
39 inerror // Apr 18, 2008 at 11:23 pm
I’ve subscribed to some pretty good video podcasts. Some means of live interaction would be perfect though.
40 PeekaBooRevue // Apr 19, 2008 at 6:02 am
This is so exciting! I always felt like I came to the party too late. Bust of luck you two and thank you for all the “ha-ha’s”.

April,
As one of your biggest fans, I can scarcely stand the excitement this announcement is causing. Speaking for the community of painfully single, cat-owning, agoraphobic shut-ins, we depend on you, Marc and of course the incomparable Auntie Vera to impart meaning and substance into our lives without us actually having to leave the comfort and security of our homes. Listening to you guys is almost like interacting with actual people, only without the social anxiety!
I’m really looking forward to whatever it is you and Marc are planning that you can’t really talk about right now because it’s super-secret. When it’s announced, it’ll be BIG, I’m sure.
-Dan

“…at least April will be making some money now. She’ll finally be able to pull herself out of this cycle of poverty. This Europe-vacationing, luxury apartment-living, retro-chic tableware-buying cycle of poverty. ”
Funny.
I was worried about Mr. K’s being able to keep his 6 cars.
43 socalfrank // Apr 19, 2008 at 10:40 pm
I know…
April and Marc are going to replace Steve Edwards and Jillian Bar(bar)ie on the Fox 11 morning news, and it will be specially piped in to Idaho for free.
44 socalfrank // Apr 19, 2008 at 10:41 pm
Either that or they are auditioning for Big Brother 10
45 socalfrank // Apr 19, 2008 at 10:43 pm
If it is BB10…tell Julie Chen that a newswoman hosting a gossip show is unbecoming, and America knows she only does it so she can fly 1st class for free between her Beverly Hills mansion and 5th Ave. penthouse.
46 weizer2 // Apr 20, 2008 at 12:37 am
Julie Chen dosen’t fly “1st class for free…” It’s a private jet. She is afterall, married to Les Moonves.
47 Andre // Apr 20, 2008 at 3:04 am
I’m thinking NPR. Finally, my tax dollars spent for something I…something that’s…aw hell, wasted as usual!

49 socalfrank // Apr 20, 2008 at 10:45 am
Well, it makes her pilot and jet fuel deductible.
50 Hunnyoil // Apr 20, 2008 at 3:25 pm
Ape,
You can tell US!! You KNOW none of US would ever tell one of YOUR secrets……
Besides, who is going to believe someone in I-Da-Whore?
51 guy133 // Apr 21, 2008 at 12:02 pm
Anything short of a local-only “Ask Marc” show will be a disappointment to me, but better than nothing. (I think an “Ask Marc”-type show that is syndicated would suck because he’d end up with too many prank calls.)
52 TalkinHorse // Apr 21, 2008 at 6:35 pm
JohnnyBoy speculated that the new show would be prerecorded. However, I’ve received an email announcement from Marc: “I’ve been very busy working behind the scenes creating something I can’t announce yet. Soon, you’ll be able to hear me and talk to me every day!” The “talk to me” part suggests a live show.
