Interviews or no interviews?

Posted on Nov 20, 2008 under Show Topics, The Show | No Comment

Personally, I think a lot of them can be quite entertaining and fun. Good examples are always Frank Calliendo, Matt Damon, and even Bill Murry was good during who do you know famous. But some of them do go downhill (and sometimes they are more entertaining) like Tonya Harding and Joe the plumber.

Any other thoughts? Feel free to post on the forums.

Toast has never been to the Keys..

Posted on Nov 13, 2008 under Show Topics, The Show, Toast | No Comment

There is a simple solution to this. If his wife works every Saturday then that means she has a weekday off.

The solution is, they both go to the show at 6AM and then, when the show starts, Toast starts to drive to the Keys. He should keep his phone on, or his wife could use it (whoever isn’t driving or use a heaset) and report back in every now and then (15-30 minutes?).

He shouldn’t hit any serious traffic while leaving since he’ll be south of Miami by 7-7:30 (he might hit a little but that’s it).

He should definately report back when he gets to Key West (and I mean Old Town, Key West, not the fake Key West). I can even give him the name of a bar / resturant that a friend of mine works at and Toast could spend the day (head home by 5:00-6:00PM).

And yes, redneck olympics did stink. I’m sure it could be a hit with better planning (like the stereotypical olympics).

Paul is going to be jealous.

Yeah, Paul is going to be jealous when he reads this.

I’ve met Steven King.

Twice.

I went to college at the University of Maine in Orono (about 5 miles north of Bangor). The first time he came to my literature class to give a lecture and a Q&A (after we read “The Body”). The second time was at a UMaine hockey celebration / rally (college sponsored since they were on the way to (and did win) the NCAA championship.

The Mayfair Hotel and Spa interview

This has got to be one of the best interviews ever!

The Mayfair Hotel and Spa interview!

This has also made me decide to add in a “sound bytes” page (link is in the right column under pages).

Mancathalon?

What is it?

I guess they post a question online and then take callers to try to answer the question(s)?

They continue to ask you questions - it seems like each person can either take the money and run or try to answer the next question for more money (but if you get a question wrong then you lose all the money).

Today, the first day, was Andy.

These two JFK guys were both born today in 1946 - who are they? (Andy is going to miss it).

There will be a new question for tomorrow.

I really hope this is not replacing You Can’t Win.

Rate the last 5 decades

Posted on Sep 10, 2008 under Show Topics | No Comment

Today’s show they’re revisiting the “bar topic” over rate the last 5 decades.  Paul says that the 80s were the best. I can very well imagine that the 80s were a great time to live here in south Florida (I was in New England at the time).

I’ve opened this up for discussion on the forums (link) for people do discuss it. I’ve posted my answers - would people agree with me?

Sara Palin field dressing a moose

Posted on Sep 03, 2008 under Show Topics | No Comment

They are all oer the qoute about Sara Palin “She is the first nominee of either party who knows how to properly field dress a moose”.

Being originally from New England, this is no big deal to me (my 10 year old (female) cousin has bagged the largest moose in her family while hunting in Maine).  She knows how to do this too.  What I find respectful is that Sarah has gone though what a lot of people go though (hunting for one).  She seems to be the the most down-to-Earth candidate I’ve ever seen.
