Wingin’ It #64: Voicemail, Part Deux
This is not a repeat post. We’re trying an experiment. The Voicemail Show for last week’s show, episode 64, is being recorded first. Then Wingin’ It Episode 65. Next week, the Voicemail Show for 65 will be recorded, then Wingin’ It 66. Get it? So, the pool party gets two Voicemail Shows. ‘Cause last week’s shouldn’t count.
Mike, Evo, Jack, and occasionally Shiela. Ninjas are on strike this week. Serenity now!
Evo apologizes all over himself for last week’s show. As well he should.
First Drink of the Day: Soju, ramyen noodles and Mi-Choo (similar to Hi-Chew?) candy from Allen, the ESL teacher from Korea.
- And now for the voicemails:
- John in NC had the worst day, so he decided to play last week’s live stream. In public.
- Paul from Des Moines recorded the live feed. We need to find Paul a girl.
- Doug from the back forty wants a sexy accented message of his own.
- Alvie in Boulder got a new cell!
- Mark from Louisville really loved Scifi wrestling. LOVED IT!!
- John from Columbia catches a bit of Mennengasia from Show 62.
- Bubba from southern North Carolina really loved Scifi wrastlin’, and has some other suggestions for the Scifi channel.
- Reaver in Madison likes it when Evo’s ass sounds good.
- Alvie *heart* Evo.
- Alvie lost more than his cell phone.
- Thomas from Flagstaff thanks us for the good time last week.
- John in NC suggests pool parties more often.
- Imp’s feelings are hurt. Why aren’t her oh, so, nice calendar pics posted anywhere?
- Jeremy from Seattle not too pleased with the drunken homophobia.
- Andrea tells us not to expect much from her lesbian “carpool buddy.”
- Reaver in Madison tells us there’s scoring and rules to Roller Derby. Like we care. There’s chics on skates!
- A caller with no name raises his son right.
- Andrea, stuck in a wedding reception… I so can’t wait to meet this woman.
- Andrea is pissed at Enormous for not telling her that he was in Chicago.
- Thomas from Flagstaff thanks TD0013 for some gratis.
- Darryl from Austin has registered some movie titles.

Is this so youre not drunk during the voicemails?
June 19th, 2006 at 10:18 pm
It’ll make sense next week, but mostly we are responding to last weeks show before we make a new one.
June 20th, 2006 at 12:32 am
I never really had any problems with the format of the show covering emails from the show before the show that aired (now I type it, its confusing), but then again I am dyslexic so what do I know.
June 20th, 2006 at 3:22 am
Well, that’s all well and good, but isn’t it a little, y’know, early in the week for a Wingin’ It of any flavor?
June 20th, 2006 at 3:36 am
Ewww, Libsyn’s down.
June 20th, 2006 at 5:50 am
Good lord, you’re definitely started early this week… and I’m only six minutes into the show.
June 20th, 2006 at 6:02 am
I see where you’re going with this shake-up, and I’m thinking it’ll work out fine. That being said…
A “First Drink…” that isn’t consumed?
A re-beer that apparently never happens?
A Wingin’ It show that barely cracks 30 minutes with everyone stone-cold sober at the end?
Jokes replaced by wallowing in self-pity?
…Yeah, we were all drunk, and we recorded it. While there was a little that crossed the line *glares at Evo*, most of it was hilarious, as much of the feedback I’ve heard and read clearly indicates.
Guys, when you’re thrown off a galloping horse, you get back on and get it up to a healthy canter. You don’t drag it behind the barn and shoot it. (indulging in a little rural metaphor there for my man Nebraska Mike!).
I say all of this out of love.
Here’s waiting in hope for a return to pre-64 form in #65.
June 20th, 2006 at 6:29 am
Well that makes me sad. I agree with Charlie. I have not heard the show yet, but dont change you guys. From the comments I read most people were not offended. You guys were drunk, people do stupid things when they are drunk- who cares?
Well I am going to listen now
June 20th, 2006 at 7:17 am
You know…Evo may be an aggressive drunk alienting all those who love him (not that I was HURT or anything by his hateful comments…and these were comments before he started calling me a fag…) but Evo wasn’t as big of a dumbass (and I mean the term affectionately) when drunk as he is sober…
DUDE, read the letter BEFORE opening the alcohol from foreign lands!!! *LOL* 21% alcohol. Holy shit!!!
And this change with the voice Mail — good call. This is going to be a really nice change for WI.
Oh, Paul was right. Karen was WAY TOO QUIET. WAY. TOO. QUIET.
June 20th, 2006 at 7:19 am
I like the idea of swapping the voice mails with the regular show. Keeps them related. THought it was interesting how you wanted to take it a little easy this week…and bust into 3 pints of 20% alcohol beer. Yeah…I’m calling AA on your behalf.
And yes…you need to find me a girl.
June 20th, 2006 at 7:22 am
Easy, kids. Rumors of our death are greatly exaggerated. Consider this a “re-set” week as we try and figure out how we’re going to handle the massive travel throwing a major wrench in the plans over the next several weeks.
More sense will be made with the “real” show comes out in a few days. Everyone take a deep breath and a big drink — all will be fine.
June 20th, 2006 at 7:22 am
Oh my God Alvie, i can’t believe you are still alive after losing your wedding ring. Although I take mine off a lot because it annoys me, so i understand how it could come off.
Mike, yeah you never told me which calendar picture to send you the final one on. Whats up with that???
June 20th, 2006 at 7:33 am
Firstly: I was drinking. I drank for my country, my flag, and my own amusement. Then I really started to drink. Half way to the Golden State of Pure Blessed Inebriation, a little angel sat down on my shoulder and said, “This party will only last a day, but digital media lasts forever.”
But Mike, you were wrong about the er, activities during the pool party. I think Thomas from Flagstaff was a little startled when Smokin Joe emerged from the loo with me …and a smile.
June 20th, 2006 at 7:48 am
Dang, Karen! You and S.J. rock!
June 20th, 2006 at 7:51 am
Honestly Karen don’t even remember that.
How many times has that phrase been used in regards of the pool party?
June 20th, 2006 at 7:54 am
You go Karen!!! We truly are soul sisters, or maybe we are both perverts married to equally perverted people
June 20th, 2006 at 8:33 am
As for Calendar picts. Just send in everything you got. I’ll weed through them as I get to the end of the month. I need as much imagery as possible, then we’ll make decisions on what we need better quality picts of.
Just send what you got. We’ll contact you later.
June 20th, 2006 at 8:36 am
The check is in the Mailman?
Its nice to know that P from DM can smell his own kind…
June 20th, 2006 at 9:21 am
Alvie, do I even want to know what ‘[my] own kind’ is?
June 20th, 2006 at 9:32 am
Wait. Alvie, wedding ring, lost? Is someone crossing the streams again?
June 20th, 2006 at 9:35 am
Alvie, I can’t believe you are still able to type: if I’d taken my wedding ring off, my wife would probably break every one of my fingers so that would never happen again!!!
Also, I thought Bubba was a genious =-)
As for the new format, it actually makes sense!
Are you going to do the same thing for SoSF?
June 20th, 2006 at 9:53 am
I think the new format makes keeping track of which show the voicemails are about easier. VM #65 goes with WI #65. Not that I really pay that much attention. I listen more for the subject matter of the voicemail; I couldn’t tell you what happened on any particular WI, SoSF, or CtC.
With regards to taking off wedding rings, I finally had to take mine off because arthritis would have forced me to get it cut off if I wanted to clean it. I’m looking for a gold chain (to match the ring) so I can wear it next to my heart, though.
June 20th, 2006 at 10:24 am
Alvie. Check out the pictures on the Flickr. Your ring disappears right after you jumped in the pool. Mike! Check the filter!
Oh, God. I can hear it now. Jimmy says, “My preciomouus…my prajimuoc…my ring.”
June 20th, 2006 at 10:28 am
I looked at the pics. I couldnt tell from them if I had it later on or not. See I NEVER intentionally took the ring off. I never do, pool or not, and it boggles me that it just could have fallen off. It was rather tight. I also swear I had it when I got home.
Jesus…..
Paul, we are your “own kind”. You know that.
June 20th, 2006 at 11:08 am
Just a quick question
Does this mean the Voicemail show will now come out on a Tue, if so when will Wingin’ It come out. Because I see one major problem for Mike
If you release the Voicemail show on a Wed and Wingin’ It on a Friday, its not giving us the fans much time to react to anything on Wingin’ It and it gives Mike like a 1000 new Voicemails to go through on Sat morning
Is this the deal?
June 20th, 2006 at 11:17 am
Interesting…I feel like it’s Friday now…I wish!
Doh! Sorry to hear about the ring Alvie. =( Shrinkage does occur on other appendages though..
June 20th, 2006 at 11:20 am
Thanx for your concern, Pat.
Not on mine, buddy. Not on mine…
June 20th, 2006 at 11:30 am
I’m not currently wearing my ring because I got to fat and it started to cut off the circulation of my finger. Going to get it resized real soon. Hopefully it won’t be too loose like Alvie’s. Doh!
June 20th, 2006 at 11:32 am
Um, I said it wasnt loose. Well, not the one on my finger at least.
Geez, read the post, fatty.
June 20th, 2006 at 12:06 pm
You actually trust anything you remember during the pool party? Har har hardy har har
June 20th, 2006 at 12:06 pm
Alvie - it was loose enough that it came off.
June 20th, 2006 at 12:07 pm
That should have been [Fat man laugh] Har Har hardy har har [/Fat man laugh]
June 20th, 2006 at 12:10 pm
Didn’t we already see this movie? Furry little creature travels far, loses ring, ends up with a bunch of strange folk who use him and finally he leaves town in a pitiful state.
June 20th, 2006 at 12:19 pm
I think Evo and I shall hit some gay bars while he is here.
June 20th, 2006 at 12:55 pm
Jeremy- take him to one of the gay bars with the dark windows that no sane straight person male or female would ever enter. Shit, where no female of any kind is allowed to enter.
June 20th, 2006 at 1:02 pm
Im not gonna fucking argue on how loose my ring was.
Fucking stupid.
June 20th, 2006 at 1:07 pm
“That should have been [Fat man laugh] Har Har hardy har har [/Fat man laugh]”
Ditto’s my fatty homie.
June 20th, 2006 at 1:47 pm
Alvie - Shall we argue about that cell phone in the bottom of Mike’s pool?
June 20th, 2006 at 2:05 pm
No, I take responsibility for that. That was my drunk ass fault.
Plus, in the long run, I could give a good sweet fuck about a cell phone.
June 20th, 2006 at 3:41 pm
The new - release of shows - order:
Monday: C2C
Tues: SoSF & WI voicemail shows.
Wen: SoSF & WI new show
Still plenty of time to listen and respond. Next week, this will be in full operation.
June 20th, 2006 at 4:00 pm
Sounds PERFECT Mike!!!
Thanks for continuing to make this place better and better!!!
I guess I need to find some more Husker jokes to bring you back down to reality =-)
June 20th, 2006 at 4:21 pm
sounds good to me Mike. Make it so.
June 20th, 2006 at 4:53 pm
Much better for those who want to contribute with voicemails. Of course, that means you will be getting MORE voicemail. But as long as we keep them under 2 minutes it won’t hurt even if Darryl calls up with a new religion. (Keep playing the Frogger background music, please…I realized I was humming it at work today.)
June 20th, 2006 at 6:23 pm
2 min? How about 30 seconds so we can get more in the show?
June 20th, 2006 at 6:45 pm
Miiiiike!….30 seconds?!?! By the time we say “hi” to everyone in the studio, it’d be time to hang up. Awww… *sulking* Oh wait…maybe that’s just Jimmy.
June 20th, 2006 at 6:45 pm
Meh and feh.
June 20th, 2006 at 7:24 pm
Yes. Now I don’t have to wait till forever for the love!
June 20th, 2006 at 8:31 pm
Well, if everyone will just agree to adopt a standard greeting of “Hey, Fuckers!” you’ll still have a good 29 seconds left for your voicemail content.
There, problem solved
June 21st, 2006 at 6:06 am
I kinda like the new schedule. It means that we can call in on Friday, have the voice mails recorded Saturday, then they air on Tuesday. Much faster turn-around time and it’ll get rid of that annoying lag of 2 weeks between responses for some voicemails. However…what am I going to listen to on Fridays?!?!
As to the pool party show, I’ve been a depressed little emo fuck the past few weeks and I didn’t listen to the live feed because it was bumming me out listening to people have all sorts of fun that I couldn’t join in on while I was stuck at the house broke. But the shows were funny as hell and it’s not like everyone wasn’t calling Evo out as he was making the offensive comments. Not that I was offended…hell, I listen to Distorted View!
June 22nd, 2006 at 2:52 pm
Hey, someone might have already thought of this but if you guys are looking for ways to raise money for your con fund, why don’t you ask for a “donation” in exchange for the 7 hours of pool party audio… I am bummed that I could not listen to it live and would be happy to pay for a CD to be sent to me with the audio slapped on it….. just a thought….
