I’m way off schedule on my podcastin’ duties, but I did release a new episode last night that covers all the “important” shit going on around here. Including, but not limited to:
- My Ancestry DNA results
- Toney’s Ancestry results, which are far more controversial
- The rambunctious wiener dog we’re apparently keeping for a week(?!)
- My exciting Amazon Prime Day purchases
- An upcoming weekend dedicated to minor league baseball
- The Chuck Cleaver show I’ll be attending next week
It’s a good episode… you know, relatively speaking. Check it out if you’re so inclined. It’s embedded below (fancy ass!), right here, or wherever you get podcasts.
And don’t forget about our hotline. Have a few pops one night, and give it a call. The number is at the top of this post. It’s fun! Leave a question, comment or suggestion and there’s a very good chance I’ll use it in a future episode.
Also, I’m working up the logistics, and also my nerve, and planning to occasionally have guests on the show soon. If it works out, that is. I’m hoping to have David Letterman on, and maybe Jimmy Page. But if they don’t respond it could be people like my old friend Rocky, and maybe Steve. We’ll just have to see how it plays out. It makes me nervous because there’s no evidence that I’m equipped to handle that kind of interview. The ones I’m accustomed to generally consist of me saying things like, “So, why’d you get shitcanned from your previous job?” The idea of conducting a radio-style interview makes me sweat a little. But that’s a good thing, right? …Hello?
Anyway, sorry I sucked up all the material for the podcast. But give it a listen if you have a chance, especially if you’ve never listened before. Also, in the comments tell me who you’d like to hear me interview. It ain’t gonna be Nostrils, or Sunny, or anything like that. So, all that’s out. But if you have other suggestions, please share. Maybe I could get one of my high school teachers to come on? Ha! I can just imagine that: “You were an insufferable little sarcastic prick. I hated you with all my being.” I have many options.
Have a great day, my friends!
I’ll be back soon.

Maybe you can get David Lee Roth on your podcast.
That would be an easy one. I could just ask, “How you been?” And he’d talk for 45 minutes
Jeff, see if you can talk REM into reuniting.
I don’t see Michael Stipe and Jeff Kay bonding well. Or me and Pete Buck for that matter
How about Pete Rose? I’ll bet he has some stories.
Jeff, what about the Secrets? I’d love to hear what they think of their dad and what he’s done. Toney too!
That would be fun!
I couldn’t get past 6 min on the podcast. too much of the ‘you know’
Wow nothing like waiting 8 days for a podcast infomercial.
The Produce Manager from that grocery store you worked at.
Hi Jeff. I don’t think any surviving Reporters venture out here during the weekend anymore, which is too bad: there used to be a little party of social exiles here on S&S, but no longer. Fucking entropy.
In any case, I assume this has occurred to you since, as far as I know, you have only one celebrity friend: Karen Duffy. She’d obviously be entertaining and she actually does a fair amount of media as an advocate for people living with pain, which, obviously, most of the Reporters are, at least psychically. I have no idea how your mic system is set up: you’d either have to go to her or talk to her on the phone. If that means jamming your cell into your tower in some kind of peanut butter ‘n’ jam digital arrangement, I think it would be worth it. Hell, there’s probably even one chance in a lightyear that Bill Murray would drop by during the interview. But Karen, by herself, is a pretty significant get.
And she’d do it for you: you know she would.
Keep your head up. . .

. . . and in the by-the-way department, fifty years ago today men significantly more accomplished than us landed on the moon. NASA did something in eight years (without microprocessors or embedded computing) that we couldn’t do in ten today (with hotshit mobile phones and Kandy Krunch). OK, come to think about it, that makes sense. The best part (for humanists) is that Mr. Armstrong flew the last several minutes without the aid of a landing computer: just looked out the porthole (which NASA said capsules didn’t need) and used a virtual stick to set ‘er down gently with just a few seconds of landing fuel left. A remarkable human achievement that cost 40 billion dollars and a few human lives.
Exobiologists tell us that life is much more likely to emerge on a planet with a moon (tidal effects and all). We’ll never know how often that incipient life evolves to walk on that moon, but I’d wager it’s rare. Forty billion bucks to get into the Universe Hall of Fame (located in the Cleveland Galaxy): cheap.

Yes, they did, And one of my few regrets in life is that I didn’t watch it when it was on TV. At age 11 I was thinking “took you long enough” rather than “holy shit!”
Jeff,
Since we’re veering off topic… I could swear you posted about this recently, but now I can’t find it. Maybe it was on the podcast. Anyway, on the strength of something (I thought) you said, I’ve been listening to Lisa Walker of late, in her role as a key component of the band Wussy. Thank you for bringing them to my attention. This is some damn fine rock and roll.
