Tim Goodman's TV Talk Machine

50: The Golden Shorty Robe Podcast


Listen Later

We take a ton of calls in this, our second of two podcasts this week, including a call from London where a guy named Will tells us, definitively, that our international toll-free number is not, in fact, free. In turn, we offer Will a couple of pints and a ticket to the Giants if he ever comes to visit. On the other hand, paying to call the TVTM hasn't stopped our international domination from growing ever larger (this week: Paris, London, South Korea, Calgary!). In fact, Will even likes our Bill Walton impressions. So there. (Of course, Will also asked a question about "Deadwood" and brought up, ahem, that swear word they used a lot on the show, so I had to tell a story about that -- with lots of bleeps.) Benny never lets us get away with anything. Manny, you (beep!)-sucker! We also act out what a documentary on our podcast might sound like. We revisit the idea of Pixie Brawls. A plea goes out for women with British accents to call in (though it might be cheaper if they live in this country now, since the hotline isn't free). I praise (read: lust after) Naomi from "Lost." A lot. Our Question Boy (Chronicle media writer Joe Garofoli) not only sings parts of "Business Time" from Flight of the Conchords and "Career Opportunities" and "London Calling" from The Clash, but mimics a theremin. And the TVTM goes super meta when a caller impersonates Colin Murray from our beloved BBC radio show "Fighting Talk," even though Colin Murray really has no idea that he's our hero (probably because it would cost him money to call us and acknowledge that). Ah, it's always a good time on the TVTM. A long time, but a good time.
