Tim Goodman's TV Talk Machine

61: A floating ball of nuclear fusion

It's the Roger Maris version of the TVTM podcasts. People afraid of the sun in Seattle e-mail us. "Bars" revisited (of course). The art of "laying down" a fine podcast. Also, "the promise of an answer." Benny considers getting Mista Evangelista sewn onto the back of his shorty robe. He also has another dream that goes nowhere. A message from College Park, Maryland. The Ol' Collie P. We talk about our Washington monuments. Kittens! Plus: A reader loves "Intervention." He's alone on that. Also: "We aim to bore." Then, it happens: Teacher Tim, our very own Official TVTM Archivist, goes over the previous 59 podcasts and digs up a ton of (mostly bad) vocal impressions, which he breaks into "the standards," "the rarities" and "the musicians." It's a litany of failure but it's an impressive bit of research. For the record, Question Boy (Chronicle media writer Joe Garofoli) does 95 percent of the voices. So blame him. Then "The Cookie" totally slaughters us. He's very, very mean. People in Connecticut are like that. Except for Andrea. It could be tough love. It could be satire. But it hurt us. We wept all over our shorty robes. But we rise above it. In fact, we ask "The Cookie" if he wants to have a beer with us. And we decide that we will, at some point, go on a tour and have drinks with all of our listeners. Road trip!
