In this episode: a new phone for Storm; Paul can’t think of Jennifer Jason Leigh‘s name; left-coast trip angst; a donor breakdown; Storm apparently doesn’t know Paul as well as he thinks he does; comfort foods around the world; Gary Burghoff saves Storm from being beaten up; and the elusive Colonial Viper flight jacket.
Audience participation alert! Please post your comments below on the topics of “comfort food/discomfort food” and/or “the fictional world you desperately wanted to be a part of.”
Paul is out of town for the day, and Storm is busy doing…something. Luckily, Storm’s sock puppet is handy with a Flip. Until the new “actual” podcast is posted (soon, we promise!), have a quick tide-me-over and go exploring…
Mad props to long-time Friend of the Band Josh Pincus for his "Schoolhouse Rock"-style artwork to go along with our "Schoolhouse Rock"-style song "Epithets". If this art makes no sense to you, listen to (and even purchase, hint-hint) "Epithets" here.
f=”http://www.paulandstorm.com/archives/show-009-like-a-74-year-old-woman/” target=”_blank”>latest podcast, the Paul and Storm Brigade of Minions is growing every day. Now is the time to join their ranks, ahead of conscription (after which you won’t be able to choose your unit or work details.) Plus, you’ll enjoy all of the benefits that Minionship confers*
And what rigorous test must you pass to become a member of the team? Simple:
send us a picture (or a link to a picture) of yourself;
include some sort of sign or caption indicating your minion status.
We’ll add you to the gallery, and you can await our eventual call to action. (It’s advisable to keep a knapsack with a 3-day supply of water and Pop Tarts packed at all times, so you’ll be ready to move out at a moment’s notice.)
*still working out the details, but a special Limited Edition Icon for participating in notable Missions is within the realm of possibilities.
In this episode: our imminent defeat, albeit one we can live with; the hometown gig post-mortem, and our appropriateness (or lack thereof) as a “date band;” Storm is not a very good Jew; the Great Pajama Debate remains contentious, but then détente; Paul knows only three English cities, although two of them are actually counties; and a discussion of toys, both received and unreceived.
Audience participation alert! Please answer the poll at the bottom of this post; also, post your comments below regarding “the toy you never got” and/or “the toy you did get.”
Featured post-show song: “William Brown” – Randy Newman
This time around, our task was to write a country ballad called “The Ballad of Rufus Amos Adams”. We went old-timey on this one (there’s more than a little “Amazing Grace” in there), and took our lyrical inspiration from a semi-obscure Randy Newman song called “William Brown“.
Voting has started, and will end this Wednesday night; this is the last round before the finals, so it’s all or nothing between us and the RiffTones. Go vote for your favorite now!
