Welcome back, it's Monday and we've got a new Friday Telecast to unleash. Despite Matt's frustrations with our audio setup, we've got a good sounding episode for you. Matt’s putting together a whole new telecasting setup based on Skype for the studio. It's going to be cool. We’re giving you listeners something to look forward to.
We’re now on Stitcher. Go get it where you want it, be it Stitcher, iTunes, or right here on the Talko Grande website.
FRIDAY TELECAST 5 - WHEN MIKE CRIES
We start out with Jeff's Top Picks on a discussion of the afterlife and heaven. Talko Grande is taking back "Heaven." Jeff posits that if he were to go to heaven, there'd be multiple heavens to go to and he'd get to go to the cool Rock 'n Roll heaven, not the lame Sunday church-goer heaven where it's just people sitting around in God's glory and praying forever. Boring. Basically, what we're saying is Talko Grande is now starting it's own religion full of comedians, musicians, writers and creative people who probably do drugs, and we have a separate heaven created for ourselves and our followers. You're welcome.
Next we get to one of Mike's Calm Down segments on the top of Roller Derby Girls. In the discussion, Matt cracks the shit out of Mike in reference to what those Roller Derby Babes should be wearing as uniforms and he loses it. And it was good. Who looks more like Jeff? Nick Mangold like Matt thinks or Zach Brown Band like Jeff's 2 y/o niece thinks? You decide. Leave us a comment below.
Jeff gives us another Top Pick with the question: Are craft breweries the new cupcake shoppe? We hope not, and we discuss the implications and the way to do it right. Take notes brewmasters and local beer crafters. We have the solution: aim low. Jeff recites the Cheers lyrics a little too lovingly. We all like Cheers.
Speaking of Connecticut style pizza... wtf... we eventually define Connecticut style pizza, also known as New-Haven style. It brings us to a discussion on the origins and different styles of pizza. Greek style, Colorado style... Gangnam style. Shout out to Dave's pizza in Minnesota. Best stuff ever. It's a nice time for a segue.
Mike brings us another Calm Down, this one about cheese. National Grilled Cheese day is April 12th. Mike says it's unnecessary. He's right. It's just like National White People Month. We don't need that. White people are always eating cheese! Then we get nerdy and discuss our various grilled cheese preparation methods. Mike double grills! He blew my mind. Matt comes out as a Freegan. I believe he's discussed it on the show before, but goes into a little more detail on the topic around the 44min mark. It's like he's living in the world of Walking Dead, without the Zombies. Hit up the wiki link above. It's punch-your-grandma, good. Eat from the trash!
Matt's Know Your Enemy for the week is April Fool's Day. We lost a bit of the end on this one, so it got cut short, but we end it on a high note. Thanks for listening.
