71: Life Could Be A Dream

More scintillating TVTM to prick up your ears. Question Boy (Joe Garofoli) says he has a "man crush" on Jon Hamm (aka Don Draper), proving yet again that we are fearless in our sexuality. We also fearlessly have no information. But then we get rolling and boy, is that a good time. We also pimp our next big hootenanny on Sept. 25, where we will be doing this podcast LIVE on stage (pause for tingles) at the Cerrito Speakeasy. Of course, we may have some technical issues -- like no phone line on stage. And the fact that for me to live blog the event I'd have to be in the lobby (but that's where the beer is!). We're trying to work around the phone issue (I put my cell speakerphone on and placed a microphone right next to it last night and got a bad feedback, plus it wasn't very clear, so we need a workaround). In this podcast, second in a week (!) I am mocked (no surprise there). Joe pimps his own podcast ("Under the Bus" -- which means I'm looking to replace him pretty quickly now with a Question Girl); we make more fun of Manny (aka Benny Evangelista) for being sick. We applaud Super Sub producer Justin Beck for saving the podcast. We have another "Katie the Dreamer" e-mail which Joe reads absolutely perfectly (a first). More drama unrealized! More random and pointless weirdness -- Katie is now our official TVTM surrealist. By the way, Joe sings both "I Fought the Law" and "Dream Weaver." He also does a very bad Rupert Murdoch. Joe says he (not Murdoch) is a cougar, though he's probably a panther (manther?). And it only gets better. Wait -- "only gets better." We get mail from Canada, England, Oakland and North Carolina, among other places. And our Oakland e-mail, from Emily, is a rerun! Who doesn't like reruns! We should have Amber in Canada on board for next week's podcast.
