Hucklebug Episode 183: A forgotten RIP for Dixie Carter, shout-outs, movies (Bet: none; Stennie: Capturing the Friedmans), lowlights & highlights, fuck-offs and you-rules, Questions from the book of Would You Rather?
Music: “The Hucklebuck,” performed by Otis Redding, Lee Rocker, and Frank Sinatra. Station ID break by Shawn Galbraith (aka Plang Tang Hackensaw).
Can’t remember if I congratulated you on the anniversary of your show, but I wanted to say how much I’ve enjoyed the programme. Not only has it been highly entertaining, but it saved my house from going up in flames. I wish I hadn’t stockpiled the episodes as it’s so difficult to play catch-up. I’m currently listening to episode 172 so I have quite a bit to go until I’m current. My goal is to catch up by June.
You two were having way too much fun answering those dirty questions.
Run over kittens with a lawn mower? What sicko even thought that one up? I’d like to give anyone who’d answer that with a “yes” a free rectal exam with my weed eater.
I haven’t seen Capturing the Friedmans but if it’s about creepy warped people I can watch my neighbors.
I think Brad Pitt is a most excellent actor too. A few others I’ll throw out for your comments-
David Strathairn
Kurt Russell
Casey Affleck
Jude Law
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Mos Def
Mickey Rourke
Robert Downey Jr
and maybe the greatest of them all….Wall-E. Wall-E might sound like a joke but how many live actors can rip your heart out with only a couple of lines of dialog? He was brilliant.
Congrats on your netflix streaming stennie. I need to do that also but I keep dragging my feet. 50,000 free movies I can watch any time I please and I’m sitting here doing nothing. Shame on me.
The Would You Rather book was great. Do more in the future.
Enjoyed the show.
Which is your favorite Designing Woman?
I can’t pick just one. They’re all so fun and charming!
Thanks for clarifying! “Bonzo Goes to Bitburg”
Thanks, for the congratulations! It’s pretty wild having folks tell me they saw Jay on TV. It’s neat but surreal, too
Oh and Jay’s been busy on his memoirs but we’re now shooting new stuff! Watch for new clips this week! (Kay and Siskita help out, too!)
Sten, glad you got the Instant Watch Netflix on the Wii! Isn’t it sooo nice? No commercials and loads of great stuff! Have you watched “The IT Crowd” yet? Silly but hilarious. I also watched every episode of the classic 1975 Britcom “The Good Life” though Netflix has it listed under it’s US title “Good Neighbors”.
Facebook CAN fuck off, Bet! I just wish FB would just stop. Sten, you are right—I’ve been saying that for years (it seems). LEAVE IT ALONE!
I don’t LIKE Facebook.
MORE MASTURBATION!
Uuuuhm, AWESOME stinger!!
Holy CRAP! I’m caught up!!
Right to the nitty-gritty:
PIES over marching band
DAWSON’S CREEK over lawnmowers – twice on Sunday
WEREWOLF over vampires – numbers game
SUMOS over ninjas – could outrun them
THESES over feces
REAL WORLD over corpses – corpses creepier by a nose

Addendum:

Okay, for would you rather..
1) Pies. I’m sure they taste better
2) Cast of Dawson’s Creek (do I know them?)
3) Vampires. I know what I’m supposed to do with vampires—stakes, garlic, etc. No cloo on the werewolves
4) Sleepy ninjas. After a diet sumo will be CRANKY
5) Pass. I have no ideas which team is in which.
6) No, Evil Spock has the beard. Evil Kirk was a lech, which distinguished him from regular Kirk….oh, wait.
7) Would they run Shakespeare commercials? I don’t think they’d let his stuff go out as is? I’ll pass on the Van Gogh
8) I’ll pass on Michelangelo’s shit sculptures as well
9) I’d skip Lebron James too. For all of these I don’t do them now, so I don’t feel I’m lacking.
10) Decaying corpses stink. However, put Puck and Flora in there…. not so sure
11) I’d hang with the Brat Pack
12) Jaded warlock, all the way. I think it would be fascinating to hear them bitch
13) Hmmm, bawdy accordion players probably have good fingering technique
14) Wistful Foot Locker employees
15) I’ll take the 45k
16) Do they assume that only men masturbate and take this quiz?
17) I’ll take the 300k
18) I think I’d stop reading any magazines—one shouldn’t need them
19) I wouldn’t pick on the orphans
20) No lawnmower kittens
21) Hee, I body check my kid for free. Although the question should have been phrased”…with his mother watching”
22) I’d probably take the coin toss on the sex, as maybe it means I’ll have some again.
23) Not playing the death one
24) Pass on the diet one
25) Why not play baseball?
26)Not sure I could pull off any of the public masturbation ones
27) My two year old prances. I think I’ll go with a sprightly 80 year old
28) Well, the corkscrews could be interesting with all the masturbation questions…
29) Depends on whether 10 is a rating or a measurement
30) I’ll pass on the syphilis, thanks
31) While Siamese twins should be able to get some, not with me, sorry.
32) What do the eye decorations do to your vision?
I’m sure you didn’t care about any of that, but I want my damn shout-out
Happy May!
I guess I’d always known about Dixie Carter’s political leanings (since reading about it in her obits didn’t surprise me), but I have to ask: how does one enjoy a long, successful career on Broadway and stay a republican? It seems to me like being a satanist and regularly attending Catholic Mass.
You Rule: Los (Phoenix) Suns. I applaud the gesture, even if the translation was a bit off.
Love the HB… HAAATE Kaiser and the fact they don’t have wireless internet. Thanks and love you all for your powerful energy…mom will be home for Mother’s Day…..<3
