Radio station suggestions:
89.3 FM (The Voice of the People!) – Honestly, I haven’t listened in a good long while, but I know they have some really cool shows.
101.1 FM – Classical music can be nice.
Try 97.1 FM…
There used to be a really good AM station that played stuff from the ’40s and ’50s. I can’t for the life of me remember the exact station number or call letters, but I bet it wouldn’t be too hard to find. Try 1570 AM… that might be it.
Thanks for the suggestions, Amelia. According to the billboards, I may be too old for 97.1…
A trivial amount of money:

Good show, rock on.
Some good lines, Karl on Andrew’s hanging up, for lack of a better idea, on the guy who is suing him: “probably not the ideal chess move.” Andrew describes Deadliest Catch as “Hurray crabs! or Damn no crabs!”
The doormat doody story was such an unusual premise I wished you could have done more with it. Exactly what I don’t know. Just that (true) stories like that don’t happen every day. It’s more attention grabbing, for example, than a wacky bumper sticker.
If you had to recommend one or two shows from the archives as being the funniest, which one(s) would you point me to?
One of the weird things about doing this “job” is that sometimes I’m stumped by what *I’m* talking about in the summaries. I’m delightfully cryptic that way. That said, the one from early November forward would be a good place to start if you have the time. The November ‘08 episode (#14) I think is the one where we talk about my car.. collision. People seemed to really enjoy that, and also the previous episode (#16) got a lot of positive feedback.
Neil, thanks very much for your comments. Glad you enjoyed the show. It’s hard to look back on the podcasts and pick favorites, but I think #12 was pretty good, too.
#1-3 are probably only interesting to hardcore fans.
LoL, Karl wants feedback.
The ghetto story was great. I laughed hard.
The restaurant review was very informative. if I still lived in the DFW metro I would have checked out the Pho place. I always love some good Pho.
Actually I quite enjoyed the whole podcast. The religious talk was great too…lol
Thanks, Donald! Andy and I take back all of the horrible things that we (mostly Andy) said about you. Seriously, that guy has some shocking ideas.
