267: Culture

[tartanpodcast]

Amber and Spooky could easily be the next Dawn and Drew. Adam Curry is probably twitching at the prospect. Let's face it, he's on the record saying that there will be a hundred Dawn and Drews.

Btw, I had a couple of established broadcaster types in my house yesterday interviewing me for a radio thing about podcasting, and they were talking about Curry, citing his failed business attempts (according to wikipedia), dodgy hair and irritating PR guy (Aaron Burcell). Yeah, Curry has fans everywhere.

I went to this carnival in Washington DC. They had a little truck for what they called The Smallest Woman in the World It was 5 bucks to go in....
There was a short set of steps up, you turn right, have a look, turn right and then its a short set of stairs down.

I watched a few couples go up in this this thing. To my surprise, grown men and women came down from this 20 second trip in tears. I had to check this out.

I go in and look....And it was this decrepit looking little, tiny black woman with horribly bent up legs, knitting, wearing glasses as thick as your thumb. She looked like somebody's homeless grandmother, sitting in a clear plastic box. She had a little sign that said...

CHUMBAWUMBA!

...nice.


Do you actually have that album keith?
..or did you download it from the stigmata soundtrack or something?

that tubthumper album is one of the most underrated albums of all time due to the silly single..

good anarchist pop rock is hard to find...

good show as usual...
that radio shit was ridiculous... i'm not a huge fan of lenny bruce's style of comedy.. but he was a hundred times better than that retard

The reason people set up websites with misspelled domains is to make money.
For example, one wants to go to Amazon.com but types amezon.com the owner of amezon.com can put a link there to amazon.com and be paid for every person that goes from his site to the amazon.com

The reason why they won't let you tow with Explorer is that it has a bad record of flipping over cuz of dumb drivers. I call it Ford's tire fiasco.
Ford was sued over that big time but time and time again they proved that owners where driving to aggressively or had underinflated tires but was told to pay. Media also blew this also outta proportion.
1. When you try to make a quick hard turn at high speed (like on the interstate) in an SUV with high center of gravity it will flip over. You can't beat physics.
Underinflated tires will overheat and the thread will seperate and can cause driver to lose control. Add high speed, overloaded SUV, and a trailer and its very likely.

I like how Amber says "that's ok, I'm very supportive" whenever Spooky says he is sorry.

So when will Amber be a guest on KATG?

Not if they're "artsy."

The whole wandering tradesman thing? Too strange not to be true. I googled it- look up "Wandergesellen".

Bunch of weirdos.

About the guy who told Chemda that he doesn't like Israel... I think a lot of europeans, especially those that are politically left-wing, oppose Israel for political reasons. It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with anti-semitism or disliking jews, they just don't like what Israel does as a state.

And don't tell me that you didn't run into any anti-Americanism while you were in Europe?
