Show #050: How Far to the Nearest Lapdance?

19934872The fiftiethth episode of our podcast, Paul and Storm Talk About Some Stuff for Five to Ten Minutes (On Average), is now online.

This week’s episode: Storm is on vacation (and without reliable Netterwebs access), so special guest Jonathan Coulton fills in (while on vacation himself) for a lengthy discussion of vacation theory and practice; directed, organized vacationing vs. aimless, sedentary vacationing and resulting family tensions; houseguests and mixed metaphors; horrible, horrible sunburns; and Jonathan answers a question he hasn’t publicly answered before regarding his music.

Also, Jonathan apologizes for the various pops and clicks and sound issues on his track, as he only could record on his laptop microphone, and he apparently didn’t care enough to make it sound any better. Anyway, he completely absolves Paul of any responsibility for the sound issues.

Also also, the “echo-y” sound you hear is because we record the podcast while on the phone with each other, and there’s a brief delay between when one person speaks and the other hears it. In this case, Jonathan was kinda loud in Paul’s earpiece.  This is also Jonathan’s fault, somehow.

Wear What Not To Wear, Here

Original Famous Fromage T-shirtBig Media takes another shot at the Paul and Storm empire, this time declaring our Original Famous Fromage t-shirt (as well as Jonathan Coulton’s Skullcrusher Mountain t-shirt) an item what you should not wear. (We’re guessing this fact, based on the facial expressions of “What Not to Wear” hosts Stacy London and Clinton Kelly, as shown in this promo, pictured right, spotted by our eagle-eyed friend Molly)

O RLY???

Maybe it’s what not to wear if you still think having a little alligator on your chest is spiffy-keen, or you’re the type who dons a tuxedo before motoring off in your Stutz Bearcat to catch the polo match on a breezy Sunday afternoon, tra-la, tra-la!

But should we meekly bend to the will of Big Fashion? We should say NOT! More importantly, are YOU going to allow this aggression to stand? NO! It’s time to take the Original Famous Fromage t-shirt into the streets! To arms!

What? You don’t HAVE an Original Famous Fromage t-shirt? Procede directly to our CafePress store, where you can suit up in style (also available specially-tailored for the ladies.) Also available at our live performances.

Because the emperor needs new clothes, baby; and naked don’t cut it anymore.

Fromage.

Bacon-wrapped Jalapeno & Cheese Hot Dogs

doggersWe (Paul and wife) had a barbecue with some friends yesterday, and one them—airlie pilot Lou—made these sinfully awesome hot dogs. I posted a pic on our Twitter account, and a number of folks have asked for the recipe. It’s not complicated, but here it is anyway. Lou says he got it from Bobby Flay:

  1. Split open hot dogs down middle
  2. Stuff with chopped jalapeño peppers and shredded cheese (whatever type you prefer; Lou used cheddar)
  3. Wrap hot dogs tightly with bacon
  4. Grill on medium-high heat on upper rack (if upper rack not present, grill on indirect heat)
  5. Serve, eat, attempt to avoid coronary.

They’re great with or without buns, but if you do use a bun, you may only use Martin’s Potato Rolls. (That is a rule strictly enforced by me, but not really part of the recipe) Click on the picture at right for a larger version, but don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Show #048: Bingham Fluids

floThe forty-eighthst episode of our podcast, Paul and Storm Talk About Some Stuff for Five to Ten Minutes (On Average), is now online.

This week’s episode: We blow up the format (a little bit, moreso in theory than in practice); we contemplate the “burning out” of Twitter; an overanalysis of “Swiss Family Robinson”, and Storm drops pudding into the mix; superstitions vs. routines vs. eccentricities; and at your behest, we once again talk rapturously about food. (Sandwiches, in this case) Also, there is only one bread worth discussing.

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION ALERT: Please continue to suggest different/interesting things for Storm and his wife to do in Chicago. Also, if we were to interview someone on this podcast, whom should it be?

Featured post-show song: “Conerto for Horn in E Flat Major, No. 4 K 495 III. Rondo” – The Swingle Singers

the-ledgeThe forty-seventhst episode of our podcast, Paul and Storm Talk About Some Stuff for Five to Ten Minutes (On Average), is now online.

Also: United Breaks Guitars.

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION ALERT: Please give Storm suggestions of different/interesting things to do in Chicago.

If not, then some servers in DFW somewhere are smoking and/or on fire.

Thanks, everyone!
