Last day before vacation. Will the show be bland sans Pepper?

[realmenhatelife]

Actually this weekend is gonna suck.

[LeedsJr]

Awww... Buddays!

I am on vacation after today! :smoke:

Don't know if I'll make it past the first break. I hear the pub a' callin' my name. :drunk:

[realmenhatelife]

Oh, I guess today is the closest day they can play steel magnolia or whatever that shit is.

[LeedsJr]

It's a little worrisome that Fez hasn't talked yet, since Pepper isn't there. :unsure:

[LeedsJr]

Cherry Festival in Traverse City, is this spy calling?

I'm looking forward to fireworks.

[LeedsJr]

I'm older than Hard Rock Johnny?!? REALLY?!? :surrender:

Listening with a pillow and a stuffed animal no doubt.

On the Road Again by Canned Heat

On the Road Again by Canned Heat

thanks. it always reminded me of kermit the frog when i heard it.

[sailor]

I'm older than Hard Rock Johnny?!? REALLY?!? :surrender:

How old's he?

[LeedsJr]

I don't think gambling has anything to do with moving the second start time.

They just don't want any overlap of the games, most likely due to advertising rates.

[realmenhatelife]

I think Fez is right it's about selling another block of commercials. I dont think it's gonna make much difference.

[LeedsJr]

How old's he?

He claimed to be turning 40.

[disneyspy]

hey buddays

Wouldn't it make more sense for US soccer to make inroads in Latin America than in Europe?

And can NYC support two soccer teams?

Yay, I'm older than him too. Hopefully this surgery really helps him turn it around.

Pics?

[sailor]

I have a friend who's one of like 18. Weird shit. We were in college and they ranged from 40s down to 6.

[Misteriosa]

Pics?

there are a few in the gallery

[Melk]

The English NFL fans are mostly expats. They would probably STILL outdraw the Cardinals.

[Recyclerz]

I missed it, why is Earl coming in?

No Pepper and, I guess, Ron's complete lack of faith in Fez to be able to step up and be second mike.

[disneyspy]

Yay, I'm older than him too.

i say that everytime someone famous dies,like i'm in some kinda contest

[Misteriosa]

this freaking about the exwife being black reminds me a bit of the people freaking out that they cast black people as characters in the hunger games movies. (never mind that the author specifically described them as black in the books)

[Melk]

Went to the Interrobang hoping to see what the haircut of the girl looked like... no video, just audio. Kind of bummed out about it. (Not that I blame Ron and Fez for it, the OP made an audio recording.)

Louie has commented on this

And for another, this season will see the reintroduction of C.K.'s fictional, occasionally talked-about ex-wife—and unlike her fleeting appearances in earlier episodes, this time she'll be black. He recently explained the decision on Jimmy Kimmel Live, saying,"When a black woman tells you to get a job, it's just more..." before trailing off with a laugh meant to convey how inspirational it is, we suppose. Today he elaborated more on dealing with the cognitive dissonance of his otherwise totally white family: "To me, the racial thing is like—when people probably first see her, their brains do a little bit of DNA map and go 'I'm not sure I get how that would happen,' and then I think with my show, most people, they go 'Oh, all right, just go ahead.'

[realmenhatelife]

Also it's an obvious slavery parallel.

just awful, spy

I thought they were tastefully done and had artistic merit.

[realmenhatelife]

But they do make the hobbit actors appear short.

[CountryBob]

who's in studio?

[Melk]

In my neighborhood when I was young, there was a boy who was the son of a black father and a white mother. When "Jungle Fever" came out, I was baffled by the controversy. There again, I heard the word nappy so often from black kids being used to insult black and white kids I was also baffled by the Imus controversy.

Also, the kids black father was really kind and stoic... his white mother was like a mean librarian who would smack him all the time.

[Misteriosa]

earl

[Misteriosa]

nph is gay, but plays straight guys on screen all the time. fezzie, comment?

[Melk]

nph is gay, but plays straight guys on screen all the time. fezzie, comment?
Not only does he play straight, he plays the "Al Jolson" of straight white male characters.

[realmenhatelife]

Ron's lying, he would never accept a white guy as Malcolm X because it adds a new context to the story. A white guy playing a black revolutionary changes the story. So fez is atleast a little right, sometimes it does matter.

[CountryBob]

earl

well that is Earl - didnt realize it because they werent talking about music.
Good to see Earl is well :smile:

[realmenhatelife]

Yeah, this guy is lying his ass off.

Also, claiming that Eddie Murphy played hilarious white people in "Coming to America" is funny. I am just baffled with the love Bennington has for "Coming to America" and "Scrooged."

[realmenhatelife]

One of the crazier things about movies is that they'll have everyone speak in english but still with an accent. Like a wwII movie where the nazis are speaking english is more realistic because they have a german accent.

[Misteriosa]

[Melk]

I didn't see Louie yesterday, but I don't really have an issue with his wife being black, but knowing his ex-wife is white and seeing a black woman would be startling.

[Melk]

really? i love both of those movies!
I think it was that, as a kid, I had to wait for the video release to watch them. I was assured that they movies were gut-busting funny. They were mildly funny.

In the stupid "Pelican Brief" Denzel plays a character who is supposed to be not only white Irish-American but also quite a bit older than the female character. He was supposed to be a drunk, too.

I have been following a series of books by John Sandford, they are refered to as the "Prey" series, in 1990 they made one of the books into a made for TV movie, they cast the big black guy from ER, Eriq LaSalle. The books all take place in Minnisota and the main character is white, and dark complected , with blue eyes. It took me out of the movie, but only because I had read all the books, I doubt it would bother anyone else.
Last year USA did one of the books, Mark Harmon played the main guy, not tough enough, the black guy was better.

Like in the late 80s early 90s you'd record everything on SLP speed VHS, so you'd have 3 moves per tape, quality totally jacked but you didn't care, and you'd have to have some kind of filing system to tell where they were on the tape.

I recently finally threw out all of my old VHS tapes because I haven't owned a VCR in a few years.

[Misteriosa]

all of these rejoiners make me feel like im watching some movie about the 60s :o

[realmenhatelife]

Fight Club doesn't hold up.


And as stated, they aren't remaking Spider Man because they want to, they're remaking it because they cant make a sequel to the last series and if they dont make a new movie they have to forfeit the property.

Then you have stuff like Total Recall, RoboCop and Starship Troopers are supposed to be getting different treatments, not that I approve of that.

holy crap! get out of my childhood! :laugh: we would use the timer codes but our videos had pretty decent quality. we had over 300 of those triple movie tapes. i still have some of my favorite tapes

[disneyspy]

last christmas my mom sent me a huge box filled with old vcr tapes,most of them arent labled so ive been slowly going thru them cuz on one of them is some of my stand up and some benny (ron b) stand up and bootlegged ron bennington's disciples show i smuggled a camera into,i'm only about 1/4th of the way thru the box and some are ruined

Fight Club is a novel, not a franchise. Why does Ron compare a one-off with a movie that is intended to be cropped into multiple chapters?

[realmenhatelife]

We would just hunt and peck through the movie, we were kindof white trash. My friends with more stuck up families had the time codes and everything all nice and neat.

Cinemax used to have independant movies at midnight and I would just tape whatever they were showing and watch them. Thats how I got to see Rose Mcgowen naked.

The other thing they're forgetting about Spider Man is at any given time in comics you have sometimes 3 or 4 titles running for the popular characters, all different story lines, and they all do just fine. Nobody cares that Amazing Spider Man is Peter Parker and Ultimate Spider Man is that peurto rican kid.

[Melk]

I believe Paul O is saying that the soundtrack to Ted is heavy on Ultra Lounge music. I haven't seen the movie, but MacFarlane is a huge fan of the Mad Men-era complete with crooning.

I hate that the comic book companies make multiple titles of the same character.

Toby McGwire, in the first Spider-man, is horrible. He stares at Kirsten Dunst like he is going to cut her into pieces.

[realmenhatelife]

If Ron tries to say that The Stones have the best chemistry...

[LeedsJr]

A white guy playing Alex Cross wouldn't make sense at all. And nobody would ever suggest it.

It didn't make much more sense for Morgan Freeman to play him, considering the source material for the movies he made compared the character to Mohammed Ali.

And my wife and I also read a bunch of those Prey books, I had no idea there were movies...

[realmenhatelife]

The Stones dont cut it because they hate eachother and dont make new music

The Beatles dont cut it because they hate eachother and stopped playing live

[Melk]

It didn't make much more sense for Morgan Freeman to play him, considering the source material for the movies he made compared the character to Mohammed Ali.

Tyler Perry isn't the worst person to play the role. He isn't a great actor... sure... he is a horrible writer and a mediocre director but still.

[LeedsJr]

Tyler Perry isn't the worst person to play the role. He isn't a great actor... sure... he is a horrible writer and a mediocre director but still.

At the time Morgan Freeman made the movies, I thought Denzel would have been perfect.

I also think Will Smith could have done it, considering he played Ali...


All right, I came back from pub #1, read they weren't talking classic rock, only to tune in to them talking about chemistry in bands from over 30-50 years ago...

I think it's time to mosey on over to pub #2... :drunk:

[A.J.]

Zeppelin had the best chemistry: no lineup changes, no solo albums. Everything was about the band.

[realmenhatelife]

I'm not saying best chemistry all time but for contemporary bands I'll give you

I love how sad Petey Greene sounds during this monologue.

Ron: I don't know how this was a TV show.

Petey Greene was an original BET program. The documentary about Petey is incredibly funny.

Awright, I know I'm sailor quoting, but yeah, Mark Harmon is too much a pretty boy to play Davenport, who is described repeatedly as a thug.

So, did Fez leave early for vacation? Because the little I heard and what I read sounded like the Ron and Earl Show. :thumbdown:

Oh well, on to pub # 3! :drunk:

[IamFogHat]

They should get Hollywood's pinheaded it boy, Channing Tatum, to play him.

In the US, health insurance is a basic human need. It should be a basic human right.

My problem is forcing people to buy something they may not be able to afford. I'd actually have much less objection if it really was universal, paid for by the gov't thru taxes.

If you wanted to start from the early novels from 30 years ago, he wouldn't be a bad choice.

This law was written by insurance companies, for insurance companies.

How do I know? I work for an insurance company...

Isn't the idea that the low cost goverment option health care becomes affordable because you're requiring everyone to have some form of health care, so anyone who doesn't have it otherwise pays in making it more affordable? And there are provisions for really poor people not having to have it. Why dont you hear a lot of dust up about car insurance being required?

You don't HAVE to have a car. And it doesn't even affect me, but I'm bothered for other people. But because it's other people I'm also not bothered enough to even care more than in passing.

[realmenhatelife]

You could also argue you dont have to carry health care, you just have to pay a penalty if you dont, which we're now legally calling a tax. They're not going to stick you in jail for not having it. I'm sure they'll seize your shit if you dont pay your penalty, but they do the same thing if you dont pay your taxes or you have a lot of bad debt.

I'm reading that Medicaid is to be expanded for people under a certain poverty level, then the next group of people will have goverment subsidized private health care. The irony is, in my experience, the people really freaking out about compulsary health care already have it. I dont know anyone who doesn't have health care by choice, and I do not A LOT of people who get sick and dont go to the doctor because they dont have insurance, and I've been that person. I've also seen someone struggle to get on medicaid for over 2 years.

Thank you. This is my worry. I am barely scraping by, and adding another bill is going to be really hard.

I make too much for Medicaid, but have so many claims on my income that I can't afford insurance. It's not really my choice not to have it, I just can't afford it.

Correct, you don't have to have a car.

How do you avoid being a living citizen of the U.S.A.?

The Medicaid expansion is still pseudo-controlled at the state level...

Regarding the bold quote, that's YOU'RE opinion...

I meant that I would have insurance if I could. Maybe I wasn't very clear. I'd love to have it, I just don't have and extra $300 a month right now. And that should be "your" not "you're."

[jennysmurf]

I care.

Stop it.

No, no, no... You were quite clear. What I meant was, the federal government might not agree with you regarding whether or not you can afford it.

Good luck with that, grammar Nazi...



I'm sorry, that was terrible... :glurps:

[sailor]

Stop it.

Caring?

Yeah, they usually don't take into account how much comes out of what you make. I may take home quite a bit, but it's all taken up in bills. Underdog posted a link which gave me a few answers, but I'm still not comfortable..

As far as I can tell, this law doesn't care AT ALL about your bills, it's purely based on income.

And I really am sorry for being a jerk...

I can live with Kokomo Joe as second mic, but if awful-voiced intern is going to be third mic, I'm out. :thumbdown:


I'm just listening to Friday's show.


Her voice didn't bother me at first but it is beyond annoying now.
