Wingin’ It #67: Voicemail Show
On this week’s show: Mike; Mike’s wife; Evo, played by Jack Mangan; and Jack Mangan, played by Joe Murphy.
Chris from Tempe is the studio audience for this week. Have you noticed that, not unlike Clark Kent and Superman, Chris and Eliza are never in the studio at the same time?
Only two episodes away: Episode 69. Huh-huh.
Jack and Chris have seen Pirates of the Carribean 2: Dead Man’s Chest. Jack gives it a thumbs up.
First Drink of the Day: Magnum’s got a lot of new shit in. Grotten Brown Cave-aged Ale (aka Grottenbier Bruin) from Pierre Celis’ signature selection. Joe’s having an Ale-8-One sent to us by James Wright.
- And now for the voicemails:
- Caller missing out on alligator porn.
- Ben from Chapel Hill sees a man ditch the evidence.
- Gil from Milwaukee gives us a a backup Haiku Moment.
- Alvie says there are hotties in Breckenridge.
- Alvie in Breckenridge gets first hand experience that people are stupid.
- Jimmy does Alvie. I shit you not.
- Tim from The Babylon Podcast revists movie karmic law. We’re on a mission from God.
- Somebody from some podcast has been to Origins, has Killer Bunnies for Evo, and doesn’t know who The Kick-Ass Mystic Ninjas are.
- Reaver in Madison laments the passing of an Era. She can no longer listen to us at work. Has anyone gotten fired for listening to our show?
- Mark from Memphis, sounding like he should, hits us for suggesting a new website, and roller derby.
- Reaver in Madison wants to buy Mike a pitcher of Oatmeal Stout.
- Oh, if only Titanic was titled like Snakes on a Plane.
- Someone really wants someone.
- Michael in Nashville lurves Freddie Prinze Jr.
- An apology to Mike’s wife from Doz in Kansas.
- Grant from California bitches about the intro.
- Michael in Nashville is standing in line to see Superman Returns in 3D. So he can see the boredom up close.
- Sean Connery wants to kick Tee’s ass, and Ian talks big about kicking Jack’s ass, now that he knows Jack isn’t coming to Dragon*Con, so he knows he can talk all he wants and he’ll never have to suffer the humiliation of getting his clock cleaned by a guy in a Charlie Brown shirt who weighs a buck forty soaking wet. Oh, and he wants on the live Wingin’ It, like we’re gonna say “no.”
- Karen from Kalifornia leaves the best message for Lorrie.
- Scott from Tucson with his own drink suggestion.
- The Darby Beer Festival has some Wingin’ In appropriate names.
- Ed from Texas reveals a sad truth. The Mennengasia post in Wikipedia is gone. The posts for Farpoint Media, Wingin’ It, and GeekFu Action Grip could use some help, or they may disappear as well. Oh, and the Joe Murphy who plays that fake game, hockey, is not me, though my name is linked to that post. I so need a new fucking name.
- A caller proposes a support group for people who listen to the show at work. I swear to God we didn’t set this up.
- Mike of the Riverbend wants Mur. Don’t we all?
- A caller’s day is made with soccer and a movie trailer.
- Dave from the New England Browncoast, praising the screenings. Tucson did great. Draco Vista studios didn’t to bad, either.
- A caller and I disagree on the season finale to BSG Season 2.
- Bubba from Southern North Carolina with more show pitches for the SciFi Channel. George Lucas and the New Mexico Spaceport have already stolen some of the ideas, though.
- Leo in Houston lets us know about Cobras in the Cockpit.
- Leo in Houston lets us know that he knows that we know about Cobras in the Cockpit already.
- Ooh, Mike said he and Evo are doin’ it.
- Enormous from Australia wants Evo back on on the podcast.
- Enormous from Australia rags Lorrie’s bad attempt at an Australian accent.
- Andrea, stuck in traffic, lurves Evo, and gives MAD PROPS to Joe.
- Andrea, still stuck in traffic, comments on the Bean Sculpture.
- Paul from Des Moines not so happy with the recent love fests.

July 10th, 2006 at 11:25 pm
got cut off. What I meant to say is we heart you too.
Congrats on finding your wedding ring. Maybe Jimmy took it to get a crack at your wife.
July 11th, 2006 at 12:37 am
just watched the season 2 finale for Dr. Who…Damn!! So we all know the basics, but wow….*sniff*
That’s all I am saying.
You can skip episode 11 (Fear Her) though it totally sucked.
July 11th, 2006 at 5:30 am
“Maybe Jack could do a duel of the Jimmies!”
That could be fun =-)
I don’t think that guy was channeling Jimmie, but rather was channeling Alvie after he’s had too much Schlitz!!!
July 11th, 2006 at 5:38 am
Jeremy…actually “Love and Monsters” really sucked, and “Fear Her” was just OK But the last two episodes kicked ass!
July 11th, 2006 at 6:38 am
Im just starting to listen.. but Joe I love this:
Sean Connery wants to kick Tee’s ass, and Ian talks big about kicking Jack’s ass, now that he knows Jack isn’t coming to Dragon*Con, so he knows he can talk all he wants and he’ll never have to suffer the humiliation of getting his clock cleaned by a guy in a Charlie Brown shirt who weighs a buck forty soaking wet. Oh, and he wants on the live Wingin’ It, like we’re gonna say “no.�
July 11th, 2006 at 6:57 am
Joe…..geez dude….don’t go talking smack about Ian. He IS gonna be at D*C ya know…..and so will you. Do you really want him coming after you instead of Jack? LOL
July 11th, 2006 at 7:29 am
To: Needledick Joe Murphy
Re: You bagging on hockey
Take it back. Take it back now.
Love,
Alvie
July 11th, 2006 at 7:31 am
Woo hooo!!! Something to listen to this morning!!!
July 11th, 2006 at 7:37 am
Dear Alvie,
The rule is: If I don’t understand how they work, they’re fake.
1) Hockey
2) Women’s Orgasms
July 11th, 2006 at 7:46 am
To: Joe Mason
Re: #2 on your letter to Alvie
They are not fake sweetie. I can help you learn to understand them if you need.
July 11th, 2006 at 7:58 am
To: Lucky ass Joe Murphy
Re: Andrea “learnin” you somethin somethin
Congrats.
Love,
Alvie
July 11th, 2006 at 8:45 am
If she goes all flush, she isn’t faking. FYI LOL
July 11th, 2006 at 8:55 am
If she looks at you in awe afterwards, she didn’t fake it.
Something I thought about on the walk to work:
Basic Fashion Tips for the Geek…mind you I’m no fashion god (like “Brownie” during Katrina) but seriously, don’t wear black tennis/walking shoes, black jeans pulled up a little too high, a black belt, and a white graphic tee a size or 2 too large with “Visit Wisconson” or some shit tucked way in with the belt nice and tight…and be carrying a breifcase. If you are going somewhere that requires a breifcase, get a decent pair of shoes, and a decent polo or something…
Don’t ask me why I felt the need to blurt all that, but sometimes things bug me..
Brad, I didn’t mind Love and Monsters, the end was cheesy, but it was cute…the love-fest of Fear Her was just too contrived. In fact it always bugs me when the Doctor goes off on “wonderful humans” and all that.
July 11th, 2006 at 9:12 am
Michael how about a generic guest bumper for people not regulars quite yet. “Some random fools who have wandered into the studio” or something cheery.
July 11th, 2006 at 9:40 am
aww….Jeremy “Love and Monsters” was horrid! C’mon the scooby-doo style chase scene in the begining, the shabby looking monster…that was a redecoed Slyvieen (fart monster from Season One) costume, the fact that Rose and the Doctor are hardly in it, and don’t EVEN get me started on the end bit with the “paving tile” scene. They WASTED one of the few remaning episodes they had left with Rose.
July 11th, 2006 at 9:46 am
I agree, I’m just saying I liked it better than Fear Her.
There can be only one…Jimmy.
July 11th, 2006 at 9:48 am
And don’t you know…PBR is THE Hipster Drink. I actually have it all the time. Not that I’m a hipster, its that I am a on a budget.
July 11th, 2006 at 10:10 am
I agree, there can only be one Jimmy, but he is a bit of an ass, sleeping with Alvie’s wife and all.
July 11th, 2006 at 10:42 am
Yeah!
Wait WHAT!?
July 11th, 2006 at 11:18 am
Alvie is sleeping with Alvie’s wife?!?!
That’s where that ring went!
LOL
July 11th, 2006 at 11:29 am
Sweet… THATS where the ring went.
WAIT WHAT?!?!
July 11th, 2006 at 11:31 am
huh???
July 11th, 2006 at 11:37 am
How could they say that Roller Derby isn’t a sport?!?! LOL
July 11th, 2006 at 11:45 am
Hey Joe where you goin with that gun in…
No wait a minute here is the wikipedia entry for euphonium:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euphonium
July 11th, 2006 at 11:46 am
Wait.. what?
July 11th, 2006 at 11:49 am
Hey thats my line.
July 11th, 2006 at 11:59 am
Who’s Line is it?
July 11th, 2006 at 12:01 pm
Well, if Mangan can crib from me, why can’t I crib from Alvie?
July 11th, 2006 at 12:03 pm
Wow who knew? I never played anything in band. I was too busy being all artsy fartsy. I wore all black, acted moody and created beautiful works of art. (okay maybe not beautiful)
July 11th, 2006 at 12:08 pm
haha Andrea as a bitnick. or whatever those sterotypical poetry artsy people are called.
July 11th, 2006 at 12:10 pm
oh Jason you are so young…. the word is beatnik. Actually I was more punk rock than Beatnik.
July 11th, 2006 at 12:12 pm
“Andrea is Emo”
The words are dead!…gothtard…
Genius
July 11th, 2006 at 12:15 pm
LOL!
Maybe I’ll Just Take a Long Swim in Formaldahyde with the Squid…
July 11th, 2006 at 12:20 pm
Emo is me
July 11th, 2006 at 12:21 pm
LOL Andrea as a Gothard? Wow. Who would have thunk?
July 11th, 2006 at 12:23 pm
That and the Goth South Park are two of my Fav. goth parodies.
“You can hang out with us non-conformists, but you have dress, talk and listen to the same music we do.”
July 11th, 2006 at 12:24 pm
For the record, I love the Cure, Sisters of Mercy, the Crow and other gothish stuff…
July 11th, 2006 at 12:24 pm
I was never goth thank you very much, I was punk rock.
I NEVER put one single bit of white makeup on my face thank you very much.
NEVAR I tell you NEVAR
July 11th, 2006 at 12:27 pm
“How can you expect to be a non-conformist if you don’t drink coffee?”
July 11th, 2006 at 12:46 pm
but why do all these “non-conformists” wear black? THATS what I wanna know.
July 11th, 2006 at 12:58 pm
They are different shades of black though.
July 11th, 2006 at 1:09 pm
Oh yeah- I used to wash my blacks (which was everything I had) in cold water and hang to dry so they would all stay the right shade of black.
July 11th, 2006 at 1:12 pm
“ugh look at those greyish-black dudes, they are so dumb. totally not like us blueish-black dudes.”
July 11th, 2006 at 1:30 pm
“ugh look at those greyish-black dudes, they are so dumb. totally not like us blueish-black dudes.�
And then, I got my Kingsford Charcoal Lighter Fluid out…
July 11th, 2006 at 1:47 pm

You missed that!
July 11th, 2006 at 1:53 pm
*holds up his Cheap Trick lighter to Gils clothes*
Whoops! Sorry about that Gil.
July 11th, 2006 at 2:00 pm
Thomas, I want you to want me.
July 11th, 2006 at 2:01 pm
*giggle*
Someone else say it…please? Please!
July 11th, 2006 at 2:40 pm
A video from the SoaP soundtrack on iFilm
http://www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2753035?ns=1
Synopsis:
The new music video by Cobra Starship as featured on the Snakes on a Plane soundrack! “I’ve had it with these motha f*kin snakes on this motha f*kin plane!”
July 11th, 2006 at 2:42 pm
BTW the name of the group from the song is “Cobra Starship”.
“I’ve had it with these motha f*kin COBRAS on this motha f*kin STARSHIP!” ???
July 11th, 2006 at 3:16 pm
Meh, forgettable.
July 11th, 2006 at 4:14 pm
If you had it with them on the Starship then go back to the old name Jefferson Airplane *ducks and runs*
July 11th, 2006 at 4:51 pm
At least the video gives us an idea how those snakes get past security.
(And yes, I know that is probably not how they will do it in the movie).
July 11th, 2006 at 6:40 pm
Wow. Noone said it….
Gil, you dodged that bullet..
July 11th, 2006 at 7:35 pm
I dress in black because I subscribe to the Malcolm Effect. “Grey and black are the only colors to wear. You can’t go wrong.” Right. No matter what you wear, as long as you have just black and grey in your closet you will be co-ordinated.
July 11th, 2006 at 9:01 pm
Man, another wild day of comments, and this is only for the voice mail show!
Karen, I made sure to save Mennengasia in the Wiki for ya. I’ve just had to learn to play Wikipedia’s game.
I was pretty much a straight up science geek back in the day. I don’t even remember how I dressed, although I know we didn’t go for the pocket protectors or any of that nonsense. Nondescript would probably describe me best. That’s probably still true today, except it’s call “casual”.
July 11th, 2006 at 9:16 pm
Gil, is there something going on between you and Thomas that you would like to share with the rest of the class?
July 11th, 2006 at 9:30 pm
Share! Share! Show and tell!
Ew…
July 11th, 2006 at 9:31 pm
yes, and please post pictures somewhere.. that shit is hot.
July 11th, 2006 at 10:03 pm
Fuck an A! Thats not just hot, its HOTT!
July 11th, 2006 at 10:28 pm
Geez - I gotta stop calling after a few beers ! (where is my Space Above and Beyond !)
I did not mean to ‘rag’ your atempt at an accent Lorrie, I am flattered you tried (flattered on behalf of all Australians).
I will, though, endeavour to send in a recording with my wife translatng sometime
July 12th, 2006 at 3:03 am
eNORmous! w00t!!!!
C’mon Gil, we are waiting
July 12th, 2006 at 11:07 am
Is there? This is news to me as well.
July 13th, 2006 at 11:56 am
I am totally down for Wingin’ It Iron Chef!
Other friends have been monopolizing my time as of late, and alas, it is ever so hard to resist the call of resin.
No. Not that kind of resin. This kind of resin. Oh yeah, and boba.
July 13th, 2006 at 9:57 pm
Yes, Ed, I agree. However, we can’t save the world from themselves. We can only make this small corner..(WI) for us. Wiki is for the masses. If we can get our little toe in, great. But if not, remember. “Wow, I just heard on WI… you have to go there…” is the best thing to put on your blog or comment.
July 13th, 2006 at 10:40 pm
Ah, wiki hopes to be mainstream one day. But I still say that open-source reviewed isn’t the same as peer reviewed.
I tell my students that wiki is a good start, but you’d better delve deeper. Wiki is like an encyclopedia; referencing an encyclopedia is something you do in early high school.
