You're Not Weird

The show starts with a bunch of wrestling clips, then Eric talks about some stuff before a referee from the Rockstar Wrestling Federation calls in. This is a good episode.

You're Not Weird puts it's pinky toe back into the pool of radio. Eric is back after a holiday hiatus and a guy named Pond calls in to talk about John Lennon, David Bowie, and The Beatles. A short episode, just getting back into the groove again.

Music from the beginning of the episode:

Unremarkable People - Pretty and Nice, Wonderful Spells, Paparazzi Paparazzi (available here for free here: http://unremarkablepeople.bandcamp.com)

The last show of the year and it's crazy. Nate Ginnetty calls in and plays a song! Kerry Quirk, famous DJ and creator of Gorgeous Ranting Brunette, calls in to talk about TLC! Super caller Jes calls in to talk about holiday movies! Tim from Backwards Zero in studio! Liam is in studio! Andy from the Welcome Back Andy podcast calls in! Nick and Dennis stop by! Former host of Diamond Dudes Dan calls in! Chris Parker calls in AS HIMSELF!

And even after all that, there's still a 40 minute interview with BOB NASTANOVICH FROM PAVEMENT/SILVER JEWS!

No nerd stuff, just SPORTS TALK! Audio collage to start the show, then SO MANY GREAT CALLS! Robo Gronk! San Antonio Spurs tattoo ideas! Where do you even watch sports? Is this a ghost calling in? This is a great episode!

More calls! Nothing was planned! Limping into the holidays! Lil Reggie calls in! Live sports report!

Dan is back! Or is he? Hot Load Dave is back! Maybe a little too much though. Does Rugrats pass the Bechdel Test? A rival podcast advertises their purevolume! PLUS SO MUCH MORE! So many callers!

Eric needs to bounce back after that weird ending to the Halloween episode. Rick calls in to talk about his camaro and do his famous top 10 list.

Later, Jes calls in to talk about nerd stuff and Eric's roommate Dennis calls in to ask about his mail. This is a really great episode.

It's the day before Halloween and Eric is sick so he's kind of grumpy. The introduction of the WEMF Party Line goes great until the satanic possession thing. Great Halloween intro, great Halloween call, really weird last 10 minutes where Eric seems to go crazy in the studio.

Eric celebrates Truck Month! Liam is in studio and talks about his proud truck heritage.

Lots of callers discussing feminist truck issues, ATVs, truck nuts, and how keeping corporations out of truck month. Also, Eric shows that he clearly knows a lot about women. This is a weird one but also a really funny one.

Eric calls Christine and Pete (separately) to ask about what fall is like outside of New England. Unfortunately, Eric kind of rushed through editing so the segment kind of drags on when it takes Eric a minute and a half to ask a question that can be summarized in 5 words.

Later in the show, Eric draws inspiration from This American Life and talks to an advertising executive about ways companies can reform their image.

Probably a 5 out of 10 episode (the guests killed it, but Eric only brought his B-game).
