Podcast follow-ups: An Andrew Menzies Lesson
Posted on August 2nd, 2008
Podcasting can be a cruel bitch.
While I embrace the emotional roller-coaster of highs and lows of pithy arguments about pop art and life, often times topics are left underdeveloped, and some things call for an elaboration and explanation that just cannot be given during a fifteen minute show.
I am here on the Internet today to offer a few words of follow-up to previous Bob and Andrew Show episodes. I feel it is my duty as a respected member of the web community to provide you with all of the information.
Andrew Menzies is CNN pre-9/11, not post 9/11.
So I wish to offer you addendums, reactions, and post-scriptures of Bob and Andrew Shows past. For you, the viewer, deserves to know.
The Safeway Over-Charge
Reaction was swift and over-whelming: many of you felt I had been cheated, and rightfully so. But thankfully karma has sorted things out for evil old grocery mecca Safeway.
Not half an hour after Bob Woolsey and I had recorded the episode in question, I ventured into the same Safeway where a I had been cheated. I purchased two packages of Kraft Dinner (regular creamy, $0.89 each). I also grabbed a small bit of meat, chuck steak or some type I was able to afford. Lucky me, when the items were scanned, the register monkey missed the meat and I walk away with it for free.
I am satisfied things were resolved in a timely and overall beneficial way to me.
Winner is Andrew.
Dinner with Five
I will admit that I did not come prepared with my five choices- dead or alive- for a special dinner. This is scathingly obvious because after I chastised Bob for not having his five immediately in mind, I struggled to name even two people I wished to meet for dinner.
Since, I have reflected and come up with what I think is a solid and undeniable list.
Ghengis Khan, Heather Locklear (1980s version), Roddy Piper, Helen Herron Taft, and James Hetfield.
The Mayoral Race
Since this episode, Andrew has been elected mayoral incumbent of island community Chemainus, B.C. He ran on a platform of swift anti-doping laws and made promised to build playgrounds for the less-fortunate.
Though he was caught with a speed-ball and two underage prostitutes while passing a police check point after leaving an illegal rave, voters seemed to empathize as Andrew beat fifteen term mayor Zacharias Bitts in a landslide.
Andrew will be absent from the Bob and Andrew Show every second Tuesday of the winter months, for he has council meetings.
