March 23rd - Show 98 - Podcast 11

The One With Rants

After a slow start (from our perspective) we really got into rant mode... (not like us at all) We tackle Religion, Big Corpoations, Piracy and Australians, so we're bound to piss off at least someone.

On Tonights Show:
Stephen Hawking sings 'The King of Spain' by Moxy Fruvous. He's an occasional listener and really wanted to get in on the 'Tamara sings' slot.

Lee reviews the new Pink Panther films...and remembers to play the theme tune (loudly)

Listener Feedback
Uncle Maf,
Should I have done a dissertation on the following. "Who is the hardest TV cop?" For a kick off, Who would you rate as the hardest cop!!!! Jack Regan Sweeney or DCI Gene Hunt LOM? attached is some sound bits from the unofficial Sweeney web site http://www.missingimages.com/thesweeney I think that it would make a good debate covering topics such as:
Who could drink the most whiskey!!!
Who would make the best pirate sound "aaarrrrraaagghhh you slag!!!!" "Tits in a jumper meee hearteeessssss"
Who would win an arm wrestle, etc
The list could be endless and may be worth pursuing?
Your ever trusted podcast listener (p.s just finished listening to the 9th March)

This Is True
Forget throwing "a shrimp on the barbie" -- Australia is getting serious about attracting foreign visitors with its new slogan. After showing lovely scenery and things to do Down Under, the announcer in the Tourism Australia ads demands to know, "So where the bloody hell are you?" Minister for Tourism Fran Bailey loves the tagline, calling it "plain speaking and friendly." Prime Minister John Howard says no one should be offended by the mild swearing -- but won't say the line himself. When asked to by a radio interviewer, Howard replied that he is "not somebody who uses that expression, certainly not on radio." (Sydney Morning Herald, Australian AP) ...Well bugger him, then.

Tamara sings : Tainted Love by Soft Cell

Music tonight: Let It Be by Journey South

Hari-karaoke: Glass of champagne by someone...cut short due to time (and us not knowing it)


Have a good week and see you next time
