I'm back from the ranch and decided I'd provide you, my loyal listeners, with a bonus episode prior to departing on my Caribbean cruise. It is an abbreviated episode however, as you're only getting headlines and a three-minute drill. More on that in a bit.

The headlines include the usual cast of characters including Joe Biden, a male nurse, Rhode Island crytid fetishists, circus performers, a Florida mom, a Florida man, a mime and so much more.

The three-minute drill includes the songs listed below (you'll have to listen to make the connection). Hong Kong Gardens by Souixsie and the Banshees, I Am a Scientist by Guided by Voices, Cindy Incidentally by Faces, Gidget Goes to Hell by The Suburban Lawns, To Sir with Love (including versions by both Lulu and the Trashcan Sinatras), Mississippi Queen by Mountain, Waterloo by ABBA, Panic by The Smiths, Bizarre Love Triangle by New Order, I Get Around by The Beach Boys, In God's Country by U2, Fire by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Kind of a Drag by The Buckinghams, There She Goes by the La's, Town Called Malice by The Jam, White Rabbit by The Jefferson Airplane, California Dreamin' by The Mama's and the Papa's, You Really Got Me by The Kinks, Eruption by Van Halen and Communication Breakdown, Good Times Bad Times and The Immigrant Song, all by Led Zepplin.

And I conclude with some praise for a WNBA baller. Enjoy!
