Ep. 647 - GMMB Thursday 11 August 2025

In good news we heard of a group of 50 pilots graduating from Tuskegee University. Also, a lucky person had their hows burn down, then win a drawing at the boys and girls club in which they won a new house. Gary Shapiro told us what the earliest Academy Awards were like, but only after reminiscing first about our time at the fair yesterday. Good news was food for litter and CPR for a drunk raccoon. Really. It was better than this makes it sound. In movie reviews, Alex said Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale will be loved by DA fans. He liked The Long Walk and was enamored of Spinal Tap II: The End Continues. Rosemary needs a more emphatic phrase that "enamored of" to describe how she feels about the Spinal Tap movie. Bill does not have movie picks. If he did, this week it would have been Rabbit Trap. If some listener wanted to pay Bill to go to see The Long Walk, the price would have been too high. He would demand too much to sit through a movie depicting humans being cruel to humans. Charlie Keutman gave a symposium on the care of echinacea, rudbekia and lantana. Bill was just happy that when he wrote the description for the podcast he got two of the three spelled correctly before checking his work.
