Choice Bits
- There won’t be an episode two of this podcast.
- It’s not that I didn’t finish, it’s just that I realized that was as stupid sport.

Detailed Show Notes
- Surely no one is listening to this. It’s the first show. Therefore it sucks. In fact, it won’t get better for a long, long time.
First I rail on Charlie the Beer Guy. He’s a bastard, and he sucked us into watching Twin Peaks. Did I mention bastard? He’s a bastard. And it must suck to have been hooked on one of these damned things from the beginning. Hooray for DVDs. Hooray for friends with DVDs. Except Charlie. Because he’s a bastard.
But his saving grace, as far as Sheila is concerned, is giving us Hard Candy. Boys? You’ll hate this movie. Girls? You’ll dig it. Don’t get any ideas. We’ll be watching Old Boy and Ichi the Killer just in case you do get any ideas.
Know what’s better? Watching your kid become a budding musician. Know what’s not so much better? Handling the talentless hacks who want to play in the band he’s putting together. Here’s a tip: Don’t encourage your kid to play the drums. ‘Cuz if you do, the shit happens at your house. Ugh.
And we’re looking forward to the New Media Expo. All of us here will be in attendance. You should, too. It’ll be a party. Which is the reason to be there, right? There’s less of a chance of Vegas running out of beer, which happens in Ontario all the time. And once we get back from that we’re headed off to Dragon*Con. w007!

Twin Peaks was perfect in 1989, when I was a college aged drunk. It does not hold up, except for “moments” that will always be memorable. The end of the series failed miserably, and the movie did nothing but destroy what little faith I had left in David Lynch.
Now when I see Twin Peaks, I can only visualize the strip bar on the other side of town.

Evo … dude … you asked your wife (Hey Sheila!) on air a question that you must have known she was going to line you up on !
“What do I never finish ?” – that was never going to end well

“Bastard”, huh? Hmm….who else have I heard frequently and vociferously associated with that word? *scratches head*
Shelia, at least you can say you’ve seen a cultural touchstone and can get every “weirdly-dancing backward-talking dwarf” joke from here on out!

And of course I meant “bastard” in the nicest possible way.
