I’m going to be on TV tomorrow. Not for committing some crime that is not only enormous and humiliating but also unsuccessful.
No, just on a local station talking about podcasts.
Wait, why did you think it was the first one?

Realizing early on in this episode that Tim is once again playing a guy who just can’t let things go. That’s always who he is in everything. But I kind of love that. It’s not a complaint at all.

You’re telling me Fleetwood Mac couldn’t knock out a very slightly altered version of “Tusk” for this show’s theme song?

You’re telling me Lindsey and the gang couldn’t patch things up long enough to do that?

That they were all too busy?

C’mon, man.

I interviewed him about his yardstick collection on my sleep aid show:

I moved from Seattle to Minnesota and Jorge Polanco moved from Minnesota to Seattle and for everyone here I want you to know that I agree it was a terribly unfair deal.

My grandfather had spent some time the next fjord over before he married my grandmother. This guy had moved to town and my aunt and my mom had a brother.
Life sure is something.

It was three girls. An older sister who died during the war, then her, then my mom. Then in her 80s, she kept noticing a guy at the market and they’d look at each other. Finally, after years, she approached him. “Are you my brother?” she asked. “I think so,” he said. Half-siblings.

My aunt has died. She was born in 1932 in the same tiny northern Norwegian town where she passed away today. Beautiful place except for the damn Nazis who occupied it for a few years. I don’t know how the afterlife works but she won’t be in Hell where those bastards are and where they all will go.

Diminish a song and band.

Bob’s the only person to ever yell at me to turn UP (covering a Stiff Little Fingers song with me on guitar) and/or to play WORSE (covering a Ramones song with me on drums).

We had Bob on Wits once and at sound check our engineer kept asking him to turn down to get to radio volume. Finally, Bob, friendly as could be, said, “I can’t go any lower or it won’t sound like me.”
So we left it loud.

A friend said hey you want some free Bob Mould tickets for tonight and we said yes because obviously. So I’ll see you there.
