Our initial effort at expanding G:TB's horizons broke new ground in the podcasting medium. And despite that, we figured it'd be a good idea to do another one.Presenting the second episode of Gheorghe: The Podcast, in which we discuss booze, bars, and bands. At length. 48:49 worth. Admittedly, we're still working the kinks out of the format.
Perhaps it has something to do with the current media obsession with the Pentagon's review of the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy, or it reveals a deeper issue in our collective psyche, but we went strong on the gay in this episode. Listen for mentions of white wine, feminine sides, meatpacking, gorgeous harmonies, jockstraps, and Whitney liking it in the can.
Listen too for some top-notch production values, continued artistic use of dead air, and lots and lots of talking. Some of it mildly interesting. Here's a little taste of something our babbling couldn't possibly convey:

Snow has started to fall in my nape of the woods/neck of the way. Commence local pandamonium.
ReplyDeletea high of only 66 here today. sucks.
ReplyDeletewas able to swim outside this morning however, though a bit nippy.
TJ, I have stolen your word Snowpocalype multiple times in conversation. I have not given you credit. my apologies.
ReplyDeleteThat's OK, because I stole it from rob...
ReplyDeletei'm quite sure i stole it from someone else
ReplyDeleteIf Marls were gay he'd sound like Tim Gunn.
ReplyDeleteI wish he sounded like Tommy "Machine" Gunn.
ReplyDeleteMy girlfriend swears Tim Gunn isn't gay. I swear my girlfriend is fucking clueless.
ReplyDeletemark - you have a girlfriend in addition to your fiance, or are they one and the same? has she been demoted to girlfriend? or are you simply avoiding use of the word...fiance?
ReplyDeleteAvoiding the use of the fiance in reference to my lady friend.
ReplyDeleteShe wasn't down with adding a girlfriend to the mix. Prude.
Paul's Deli getting some love at Media Day:

Tommy Gunn only fights in the ring.
ReplyDeleteOh, and Mark, not sure if that was a Lebowski reference, but I took it to be: "She's not my special lady, she's my fucking lady friend. I'm just helping her conceive, man!"
ReplyDeleteSue Palka just mentioned Mayhugh's rumor and said it's a bunch of bullcrap (like sonograms). Paraphrasing here.
ReplyDeletethat's just what they want us to think, jerry
ReplyDelete48 minutes? seriously? that's a major commitment-- i need to be able to play this in the car . . .
ReplyDeleteThey've got Palka now? Where does this conspiracy stop? If 24 is any guide, it will go 6 hours of Muslims, 8 hours of Russians, and 10 hours of white-haired corporatist government types.
ReplyDeletewhitney has an 8-track version, dave. i'll ask him to fedex it to you.
ReplyDeletei miss sue palka.
ReplyDeletehow's doreen gentzler? she still up there slingin guts? i mean...news?
doreen wore a leather jacket on the air yesterday. it was mesmerizing.
ReplyDeleteZoltan thanks for the shout for the O-pup. Everything is cool with him now.
ReplyDeleteAnd I highly recommend everyone go see Of Montreal in concert. They are still not too well known so all their shows are at small venues. One of the best shows I've seen in a couple of years.
NOVA folks, what are the chances of me flying into Richmond Sunday night and then out Wednesday evening with all the snow you all are getting? Good, fair?
love "of montreal," but i can't imagine the scene at one of their concerts. i am not cool/gay enough to go.
ReplyDeleteabout to fire up the podcast . . .
hope you're not operating heavy machinery.
ReplyDeleteOf Montreal...ahhh yeah. Seriously, I never thought I'd like them (my hipster ex-roomate recommended them to me) but they're pretty fucking good, different but good.
ReplyDeleteDave...did you ever listen to Ghostland Observatory.
ReplyDeleteDave, if you sport the same mustache from OBFT last year you'll fit right into the scene of an Of Montreal show. Hell they may even drag you up on the stage to be 'gored' by the minotaur.
ReplyDeleteMark's old roommate turned me on to both ghostland observatory and of Montreal a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteShe turned Greg on to many things, if memory serves.
ReplyDeletelistened to "ghostland observatory" on a gheorghe recommendation-- rezvan? mark?
ReplyDeletei like them too, and they are pretty gay as well.
i have a goatee now, which means the mustache is ready to go at the drop of a hat.
That was my rec. Yes, cool and gay. Just like I like them...wait a minute.
ReplyDeleteIn related facial hair news, I have a ridiculous beard going right now. Completely out of control and bushy. Pretty sure I'm going to shave everything but the stache in the next week or so.
Dave is bound and determined to ruin G:TB contributors' careers by continually using surnames.
ReplyDeleteMany things...bathroom cleaning supplies not being one them.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if that's a shot at Greg's bathroom or my old roomate. Either way, I think it applies.
ReplyDeleteAnd if it's from Jerry, you know it's valid.
ReplyDeleteYour old roommate. And I'm fully aware of how black my teapot or kettle might be, but I still feel justified on this one.
ReplyDeletemy bad-- i will be more discreet in the future.
ReplyDeletealthough the podcast has blown your whole whitney houston thing. you don't sound like her at all . . .
Thunder Snow!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhere's the love for the Lower Depths? Fenway Franks? Chicken Chipotle Wraps? Tater Tots Delux? Jeanna's Beans?
ReplyDeleteYou're are more than justified, Jerome.
ReplyDeleteAs Jerry has alluded to, my old roomate (who is a female) kept the most digusting/repulsive bathroom I've ever seen. We lived together for two years and I think I opened her bathroom door twice.
so far, I am unimpressed by snowpocalypse
ReplyDeletewe just had our first stuck car of snowpocalypse. and i'm in pittsburgh. driver was a little bit hammered - i'll call it 60/40 snow/impairment.
ReplyDeleteWomen and their filthy bathrooms are a real surprise when you encounter them. I remember being amazed by how nasty women's bathrooms were when I was in my 20's. They have 900 plastic tubes of creams/lotions/conditioners all over the place and tons of rogue hair littering everything. You just don't want to see behind the curtain and know about the process that makes them pull themselves together on a Saturday night.
ReplyDeleteRogue or rouge? My 23-year-old sister lived with two other 23-year-old girls in an ancient shithole across the street from a cabbage factory in the Lower East Side. Nastiest bathroom outside of the "nastiest bathroom in all of Scotland" scene from Trainspotting.
ReplyDeleteWashPo says 12 to 18 inches of snow in DC, "stay in unless you absolutely have to be out." I encourage you to go out, make a snowman with the kids or something like that. Did you guys lose power and/or cable?
ReplyDeleteI just showveled snow for an hour and didn't come close to getting my car completely able to get out. But I'm not going anywhere because I would have no way of getting back into the spot or someone would steal it. no loss of power here so far. that would be bad for this guy since my whole home runs on electricity.
ReplyDeleteObama made a "snowmageddon" remark. WashPo says you got between one and two Hungarian peckerlengths (15 to 30 inches). But this isn't the first time a Hungarian peckerlength brought Virginians to their knees.
ReplyDeletemy kids' school has already been cancelled for monday and tuesday. what the hell is going on down there?
ReplyDeleteThis is the second Georgetown game that I was unable to attend b/c of a crazy snow storm.
ReplyDeleteStill stuck in my hood. Only about 14 inches here, and the trees are really weighted down with snow/ice. Still have power and am entering hour #3 of a 12 hour hoops day.
i do feel for you people.
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched a ton of Gonzaga this year, but I've watched enough to be surprised they have a backup center who is 7'5". And he's not a total abortion either.
ReplyDeletecaa got interesting today. mason, odu lost to drexel, vcu respectively. tribe's game at ga state just got pretty close to must-win. northeastern moves atop the conference alone at 11-2.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Russ Grim, Hall of Fame bound.
ReplyDeleteMake it work Tribe.
ReplyDeleteWas anybody else semi-shocked that Rickey Jackson made the HOF? Really, really good player for sure but HOFer?
ReplyDeleteThe Timm Gunn tribe cheer works!
ReplyDeleteI agree Mark. I'm not even sure Rickey Jackson was the Saints' best LB - Pat Swilling was pretty good too. And Sam Mills was no slouch.
ReplyDeleteAnd Dick LeBeau? Really?
If you liked the Grey Album.

Nice find, Z. Downloading in progress.
ReplyDeleteThere is a marathon going on around the corner from my house this morning. Somebody on the marathon committee decided that it would be a good idea to have a guitarist (think fast paced Mexican style guitar playing) play during the marathon...at 8 am on a Sunday. And they decided to station right by my house...and hook him up to a huge amp. Awe-fucking-some.
ReplyDeleteWho's awake? I'm awake.
