Manic Mondays

Happy new year!! Can't be any worse than the last... can it? Oh god... that felt like the Anakin and Padme meme. Moving on... this first show of 2022 will take your mind off of all those pesky concerns of 2021 with laughter, including a review of Insane Ian's newest album, "Illinoise". So sit back, have some coffee in your fave Harry Potter mug and don't worry about a thing... until the final song.

We know you're in that exhausted lull between post-Christmas and per-New-Year. We know because we're here too! But fear not, because this is that time of year when Devo Spice has a little too much eggnog and gets all nostalgic for News of the Stupid, so not only is there a CURRENT stupid news segment, you get to hear Devo's Top Three of 2021!! So relax and enjoy your late present.

It's season-time, ho ho ho! Time to do the headless-chicken impersonations this week as we all try to force ourselves to get ready for a day of gift giving and getting. It's too bad we can't spread this kind of thing out all year instead. Oh wait, those are called "birthdays". Regardless, we at Manic Mondays wish you a wonderful holiday and please be safe as you celebrate!

Yo, our schedules did not jibe enough to be manic on your Monday... so TUESDAY it is! Let's face it, the older you get the more manic all your days become, until retirement. We're not close to that yet, so you'll just have to invest a little more in the "manic" portion of this show's title!

It's that Thanksgiving "short week" for most people in the U.S., so today we're gonna party like it's Hump Day! However, for us that still means getting up, going to work, and putting most of our energies into wishing it was Saturday because Thursday is going to involve cooking, cleaning, and family and Black Friday reminds you that you have to fight people to get your grandkid the toy they wanted. Happy Hump Day!
