For the first time I think I’m out chatted. Doug Benson owns his dorkdom with a dignity that I truly admire and Eddie Pepitone is a fascinating man in search of his muse. Together their enjoyment of the minutia of life, from twitter to game shows, defines what I really think of when I think of dorkdoms. This episode is cussy – just so you know.
Vagaries discussed
The Muppets (new Muppet Movie Eddie is in. And I knew Amy Adams was once I saw her picture).
Veronica Mars (A great TV show that was cancelled)
Nielsen Ratings (I’m sure it’s important-I can’t figure an average. Mostly b/c I can’t care).
Jean Doumanian (SNL and Woody Allen producer)
Pema Chodron (Tibetan Buddhism Teacher)
Money Drop (Kevin Pollack Hosted new game show)
Murray Head - Chess (One Night in Bangkok)
Noises Within (theater in Glendale)
Dick Cavett interviews Janis Joplin (I love what she says after 5:00)
Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work (Netflix Streaming)
Paul Newman – Robert Redford (4th paragraph on this link has the car crushing story)
