Barenaked ABCs (Alphabetical Barenaked [Ladies] Catalog

This week’s song is going to drive me crazy.  Is it two songs? Is it three? Is it one?  Are there really voices in the background, or are they all just in my head?  What are they saying?  Please listen this week and let us know on Facebook or www.bowlingstormtrooperentertainment.com to give us what you know.  By the way, after note, the versions on Variety Recordings and Barenaked Recess do not have the “jam session” or “Dat Fodder”. You should listen… very different.

Episode 54: Crawl 

Will we sink or swim this week as we wade through our discussion of “Crawl”?  That’s right.  We are back and flying like butterflies. Feel free to join us.  I’m not going to touch the other pun. Michelle would kill me.

“Oh Alberta”, short (Tyler features at the end) 

What shall we discuss this week?   Dracula’s depression?  Chocula’s cheerlessness?  Dooku’s dysthymia?  Nope.  No discussing Count’s or downs.  Sorry, Count Rugen. This week the counts are down as we discuss “Counting Down”.

Episode 52:  Conventioneers 

Tonight we discuss lounge lizards at San Diego ComicCon…. or maybe it is just the song Conventioneers. We invite more people on the show (@WilliamShatner, @BenFolds) and discuss which BNL member we would have our one night stand with.  Well, okay, the last one is a lie.  Our significant others might not be happy with that last discussion.  But I had so much fun editing the end of this one that I couldn’t breathe at one point.  I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did. 

Original song 

Ladies Room Vol. 5  (Answering Machine by Ed and Jim, but more importantly the Bird Poop Rap) 

This version is different than any other rap that they usually do.

Yes, you read that right…. and I spelled it that way on purpose. I may not know how to pronounce, but I know how to spell. Tonight’s episode, we welcome back Bobby in order to go back and fix our mistakes and our numbers. I don’t fix my “pronounciations”, but we adjust our numbers so we can start the year with an accurate ratings system. And, thanks to Bobby, we have a lot of fun. So enjoy as we ring in the New Year with our 2018 “past, recast and reinvented until it’s like we meant it”.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! Sorry this is a bit late. I got “wrapped” up into Christmas. And today we finish #ChristmasInDecember as we discuss “Christmastime (Oh Yeah)”.

Episode 46: Care Less 

We hope that you care about our podcast. If you do, please let us know.  This week it is just Michelle and I and we couldn’t care less where Aaron is, because he belongs here with us.
