Hey Guys!
Hope you actually did have a happy easter. Great show! Great guest! Jen is such a lovely and funny person. It\’s a real petty she hasn\’t been on so much yet. I loved the chicken by the way. I think it\’s sound eaven beats the whistle.
Looking forward to tomorrows show!
And Jen in case you are reading these comments: PLEASE COME BACK SOON! AND COME BACK OFTEN!
Lots of love to you all!
Fabs
My family blew out eggs also but not sure it was a hispanic thing. I think it was more of a cheap thing because my mother used the egg yokes after! Ewww!
Anyway, loved the show! Happy Easter! Jennipher was great, hope she comes back very very soon!
I work for Intercontinental Hotels in Milwaukee, and we offer a “intimacy kit” in our minibars as well, it consists of lube, condoms, and sani-wipes (for after sweet lovin is over) I think it is a great thing, and our guests love having them. Instead of drunkenly asking front desk where the closest 24hr Walgreens is.
Great show as usual…
i can also confirm that confetti eggs are very hispanic indeed. we didn\’t do it so much here in the states when i was a kid, but when we used to visit my father\’s family in durango, mexico, and you could buy confetti eggs at the local park square.
also, my justin\’s family (also mexican) does the eggs during easter – in their family, these eggs can be lethal. he has two brothers the size of football players, and when they throw those eggs, they THROW those eggs. i will see if i can find the picture of our friend audrey after one easter – she has welts covered in confetti on her back.
this podcat is so raza now…what\’s next? reminiscing about putting chili powder on lollipops or using CDs as display ornaments on your rear-view mirror?…but seriously, i love the latino culture fausto infuses into the show. represent.
michael stipe coming out as gay is like oprah coming out as black. i knew as a 9 year old watching the losing my religion video on MTV.
i love the shaker sisters song but i think its funny how often musicians say how many of their big hits \”almost\” never made the album. good show and glad you guys are back!
I saw photos of Michael Stipe participating in an orgy back in the mid 80s. A very close friend used to work in a 1 HR photo processing shop where one of her regulars brought in several rolls of film on which he captured the event. I recall several clearly revealing Michael engaging in a little c*ck smoking. He appeared to be rather coked up as well. It was the 80s after all. I don\’t think she kept any copies (couldn\’t do so legally) or I would send you a JPEG. But most of us knew the first time we saw him in any REM video.
That\’s hot!
My family never actually BLEW the eggs out, but rather, cracked about a dime sized hole at the top of the egg, and then took the egg out (you know, when my mom would make us \’huevitos revueltos\’) and then we\’d rinse the inside and save them. After that came the dyeing and filling with confetti, and finally we\’d cut little square shaped pieces of tissue paper and then use that to glue the the hole shut. The great thing about these cascarones was that, if you were gonna get confetti on someone you liked, you\’d sort of break the egg in your hand before scattering it all over the person\’s head. If it was someone you totally couldn\’t stand, say like, your obnoxious brother in law for example, you could slam that egg as hard as you possibly could and then pass it off as just the regular celebratory Easter tradition. Good times.
Jim, I\’m sure somebody has photos somewhere.
OMG the chicken was hilarious! You need to stroke that chicken every so often for that great sounding sexy result. This show was way too short too! Too much fun.
I love hearing from Marc\’s high school buddy.
That chicken though, dear god, sounds like you threw a squirrel in the dryer. What was funny was my senior English teacher had the same chicken and wore it around her neck while reading the Rhyme of the Mariner. The funny part was if you fell asleep the chicken would come flying across the room from this 4\’ 10\” woman and *SQUUUAAAAK* across your head!
I never got the e-mail with the song link (last one didn\’t work either, I run Safari 3.1).
Either way, can\’t wait to hear a non-super-pre-recorded show.
I thought Michael Stipe came out years ago. I remember more than five years ago my friend saw him at a gay bar in Atlanta. I didn\’t know it was a secret. It\’s almost to the point where everyone is assumed gay and straight people have to come out.. or go in. Wait, I just confused myself.
I thought Jen was great. You should definitley have her on again! The chicken bit was funny!
I read an interview in Butt a couple of years ago with an ex of Michael Stipe, stating Stipe could (and I quote) \’f*ck the chrome off a bumper\’. A phrase I had never heard before, but it sounds like a compliment.
The expression is \”suck the chrome off a bumper\” not fuck. But if he said fuck that would be really funny.
Ok found the quote (dammit you made me do research!) Butt, summer 2002: \’People give him hell, but he was a good lay. He could Fuck the chrome off a bumper. He definitely fucked the shit out of me. That was fun.\’ So there you have it folks.
Was that really the chicken you were squeezing?
Was Amanda there?
Come on now!
For Real?
For Real?

Fuck the Chrome off who? I want to meet this Bumper dude.
Love ya

Here’s a little “tidbit” you may not know about Easter:
Easter is early this year. Easter is always the 1st Sunday after the 1st full
moon after the Spring Equinox (which is March 20). This dating of Easter
is based on the lunar calendar that Hebrew people used to identify Passover,
which is why it moves around on our Roman calendar.
Based on the above,
Easter can actually be one day earlier (March 22) but that is pretty rare.
Here’s the interesting info. This year is the earliest Easter any of us will
ever see the rest of our lives! And only the most elderly of our population
has ever seen it this early (95 years old or above!). And none of us have
ever, or will ever, see it a day earlier!
Here are the facts:
1) The next time Easter will be this early (March 23) will
be the year 2228 (220 years from now). The last time it was this early was
1913 (so if you’re 95 or older, you are the only ones that were around for
that!).
2) The next time it will be a day earlier, March 22,will be in the
year 2285 (277 years from now). The last time it was on March 22 was 1818.
So, no one alive today has or will ever see it any earlier than this year!!
