In this week's episode:
- We are accepting donations for tomorrow's Crop Hunger Walk. We outline what listeners can win several times through the show. You can click here to donate to the cause.
- Thanks to the marvels of modern technology, Karen and Corona now join us in much higher quality.
- Derek writes in, and several listeners agree, that the first track we played sounds like Power Rangers music.
- One of the attempts we make to encourage donations involves Ed spouting suggestive sentences. When the CHW received something, Ed would shut up. It worked.
- We reach into the live stash of Seamus Kennedy and replay his rendition of "Whiskey in the Jar" followed by some tasteless police jokes.
- Karen's pets now have Halloween costumes. Find out what they are and how one of the dogs reacted.
- Sami, AKA Ripples, tends to eat everything she can reach. This miniature pincher has been known to eat entire large cakes in a matter of minutes. She ate so much last weekend that she ended up in the vet's office for three days.
- We next turn to amusing stories about some of our not-so-tall hosts and listeners.
- We play a Spike Jones tune dedicated to our grandpa's wife who turned 90 last week and to Patrick's grandmother who turns 86 today.
- Seamus Kennedy is back again to demonstrate his amazing yodling abilities.
- Tristan, AKA Mr. Brown, next races a pack of horses to warm up for the big ten-mile walk tomorrow.
- We then flashback to last year's olympics to listen to 8 clones of Ed race to take a nap.
- To fulfill a caller's request, we then play the isolated recording of all eight Eds running.
- We then play a ten-second preview of 'Beer on a String," a song Corona recorded last May but which we haven't yet played to solicit some additional donations.
- Social Security is good, but beware getting real employment. Even if you are only temporarily employed, SSA will punish you for years to come for the meager income you managed to scrape together.
- Karen and I next talk about an amusing but flamboyant waiter we encountered at a local Red Robin restaurant near her home.
- We then take a two-hour break for "Things and Stuff," although the archive only has two seconds of silence instead.
- For privacy's sake, I skillfully removed Karen's E-mail address from the archive. I play the alteration live on the air.
- Since we reached one of our donation goals tonight, we're back to play the entirety of 'Beer on a String."
- For good measure, we also play "The Garbage Song."
- A listener then calls in to note that TBRN archives and automation have returned. They will remain available assuming that listeners don't further abuse the system.
- What is "Man vs. Printer?" The road to victory, perhaps?
- Corona's rendition of Seamus Kennedy's "Beer Song" concludes this week's extended episode.
You guys donated over $100 tonight, and we want to sincerely thank all of you on behalf of the hungry folks who will receive your donations this Fall. Our sincere thanks also go out to Patrick of "Things and Stuff" for granting us some serious air time to promote the fund raiser, and definitely to Krista, one of our loyal listeners. Many of the donations we raised were a direct result of her enthusiastic activity on Twitter. Even though our promotion has ended, we still encourage you to donate. We don't see a cent of this money, and it goes directly to a good cause. Every little bit helps.
And with that, we're out for another week. See you folks next Saturday.
