  1. When Brett said "Please Mr. Postman" was by the Shirelles I SCREAMED. I'm sorry, but any moron on the street could tell you "Please Mr. Postman" was by the Marvelettes!!! Frankly, the two groups sound very little alike. I mean, the Marvelettes were giddy high schoolers; the Shirelles, by the time of their signature song, "Will You Love Me Tomorrow," were adult women contemplating the madonna/whore complex! For God's sake, the Marvelettes were Motown! The Shirelles' biggest hit was a Goffin/King tune, straight out of the Brill Building scene!!

     

    Brett, next time you are allowed to speak on air, please deliver a formal apology to Gladys, Wanda, Georgeanna, Juanita, and Katherine. They are legends who deserve better.

     

     

    Good episode!

  2. Hi Hayes, happy birthday. Much like my best friend Kieran (honlads) I am not feeling well enough to make a video, which I'm sure would have delighted you to no end, but I did go to all the trouble of logging into the forum to say happy birthday and I hope you appreciate that. Anyway, here's a picture of the dog I live with wearing my glasses, enjoy.

  4. To the gentleman who referred to Engineer Sam's Brewers cap as "trying too hard":

     

    First of all, my apologies for not being able to tell which white guy you were when you were talking. Your voices happen to sound quite similar, and since I'm used to listening to Hollywood Handbook, which features two white guys with really different voices that are easily distinguished from each other, it was a bit challenging for me.

     

    Anyway, the question at hand is why Engineer Sam would choose to wear a cap featuring the retro Brewers logo. The answer to that is so obvious that it renders the initial question unspeakably absurd. He is wearing a retro Brewers cap because the classic "glove and ball" Brewers logo (used from 1978 to 1993) is THE BEST GODDAMN SPORTS LOGO TO EVER EXIST. Think of how old you were when you first realized that the glove and ball formed an "m" and a "b." Think of how long it took you to see this. Think about how clever that is, and how much you loved it even before then due to its use of classic primary colors and simple silhouette.

     

    Did you know that the retro Brewers logo was designed by an undergraduate at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire? It was chosen from over 2,000 designs, many of which came from professional graphic designers. While this fact may seem insignificant, deeper analysis proves revealing. The Milwaukee Brewers' ball-and-glove logo speaks to the team's commitment to quality over hype, a value strongly tied to the city of Milwaukee's working class atmosphere.

     

    The team's current logo, while a significant improvement over the abysmal '90s design, can't reach the heights of the original "barrel man" design; it certainly can't compete with the classic ball-and-glove design.

     

    Let's not forget that it was with this classic logo that the Brewers made it to the World Series in 1982. It's no wonder that Sam would prefer to wear the logo of this astoundingly talented team (Molitor! Vuckovich! Fingers! YOUNT!!) rather than, um, the current team.

     

    Ultimately, the question should be why we are not all wearing the classic Milwaukee Brewers logo on our bodies every day. Please rescind your unwarranted comments regarding Engineer Sam's choice of headwear, sir.
