Hucklebug, Episode 153: RIP Walter Cronkite, highlights, Podcastathon 2009—we need sponsors!, shout-outs, fuck-offs & you-rules, movies (Stennie: 1776, Ace in the Hole, Bet: This is England, Adventures of Robin Hood), tricks we’d like to teach Milo.
Music: “The Hucklebuck,” performed by (respectively): Volksdans, Clifton Chenier, Randy Van Horne Singers, Frank Sinatra. Also: “Uncle Walter,” Ben Folds Five.
Congrats on Milo! He seems like a sweetie.
I’m interested in seeing how Milo makes the podcastathon more interesting. “Yes Milo, Mommy loves you, but finish pooping NOW because Mommy’s on the air in three minutes!”. But we will let you devote at least four segments to Milo. What are Milo’s favorite toys—what kind does he like or not?
I think I had the 3 am movies quiz. I’ll e-mail it to y’all. But if I don’t make it, just make up your own dead obvious lines or do this backup—Who said this? “I’m covered in beeees!” “Cake or death?” “If you don’t speak French, that was fucking funny”. “God, who was James Mason…”, ” ‘Allo Sue, I’ve got legs!”
See you Saturday!
I’m going out on a limb: Roy the Penguin’s same-sex life partner’s name is…Sigfried?
Could I also offer up a Crystal-grade Fuck Off! to TIME (fucking) Magazine for putting Sarah (fucking) Palin on the cover of their July 20 edition, along with the (fucking) headline “The Renegade” ?!
What are you people, on (fucking) dope?! What were you (fucking) thinking?! Are you that (fucking) desperate to prove that you’re not part of the liberal media out to get her?
Kinda bugs me that MJ dies and it’s wall-to-wall coverage for days and days, yet the man who is credited by many as ending the Vietnam war, is talked about for a few days and that’s it. While MJ contributed a lot to culture, Cronkite contributed to *history*.
Congratulations on Milo, Bet!! I saw the pics on the Facebook! I literally loled when you said “I really will try to keep this short” and Stennie replied with “Whatever.”
How can a loving mom keep it short about her new puppy??
Re: Hucklebug Movie Club: I will not watch Ghostbusters 2.
I just Netflixed “Project Moonbase” and that’s an hour and 3 minutes. It was on MST3K but there’s PLENTY of room for our own jokes.
I’m looking forward to the podcastathon! Maybe Siskita will grace you with a song? That’ll fill a segment
Can we get a “you rule” for Jimmy Carter?
Btw, if you two need a break during the podcastathon I think it’s technically okay to have Buster and Milo sit in for a session or two.
