“Spanky Johnson”? WTF??!!
I had to put my head on my desk when I heard that.
Found this story: http://channels.isp.netscape.com/news/story.jsp?idq=/ff/story/0001/20060603/0647909066.htm&floc=NI-ne5
Snakes on a Plane man, for real!
Excellent show kids. It will be nice when Spanky (Joe) is back in the chair too. 🙂
Looking forward to trying out 7th son. Good ‘cast!

Just a little feedback,
Normally, you guys are funny. That Kilroy 2.0, if that indeed what was “cutting” into the broadcast, was really not.
Also, did I miss the Trivia? That’s one of my favorite sections!
Last bit, what do you guys think of SciFi soiling the waters of science fiction by placing WRESTLING on the air… if you have discussed it I missed it. Yes, it is fiction… but please, for love of the gods of Kobol, not on the only science fiction station I have (Let’s face it, its the only one that supports the sci fi shows it creates).

Doug was on hiatus and will be back with trivia for show #061 due out on 6-13-06.
You must of missed how we have been ranting mad on how, what did Mike call it?…..WRAST-LING, on SciFi. We hate the whole idea….sucks big time.
