Wingin’ It #75: Voicemail Show
Mike, Evo, Jack, Sheila, and Debbie from East Mesa are in the studio this week.
First Drink of the Day - paid for by the Magnum’s beer fund: Summer Solstice Cerveza Crema from Anderson Valley Brewing Co. Our account’s tapped out people. Top us off.
- And now for the voicemails:
- Fans calling right after leaving our party suite.
- Enormous from Australia, stuck in traffic, in Australia. Does traffic swirl around the other way down under?
- Enormous from Australia has a word for Spork.
- Doug responds to TA (?) from Phoenix.
- Scott from Tucson calls and tells us a whole lot of nothing.
- Jason in Kansas City’s call reminds me of a joke. A guy is drinking alone at a bar, obviously sad. The bartender asks him what’s wrong. “I am a great architect,” the man replies. “I have built two of the five largest suspension bridges in the world. But, do they call me, ‘Robert, the bridge builder’? No. I have built the tallest apartment complexes that have housed hundreds of families. But, do they call me, ‘Robert, the home builder’? No.” The old man stops. The bartender asks, “Well, Robert, what do they call you?” The old man looks up at the bartender, tears in his eyes. “You suck one cock…”
- A caller from Phoenix, whose name I couldn’t catch, wants to give us beer, and visit us. Like we have a problem with that?
- A caller loves the work of Josh Whedon, whoever the hell that is.
- A caller rings us while beer and Killer Bunnies sit before him. Dude, priorities. Finish off the beer and game first, then call us.
- Laura from Maryland recommends making Killer Bunny cards of the Wingin’ It crew from the blank cards available.
- Jason of West Oz, shouts out to Andrea Smarty Hottie and Enormous.
- Thomas from Flagstaff criticizes our lack of scifi shows in Farpoint Media.
- Paul in Elk River backs our play here on Wingin’ It.
- Evo wants you to fight the WIPO Broadcast Treaty.
- Chris the Green Man from Florida set us up on 43 Places.
- John in Seattle comments on product placement.
- Rob from Knoxville has an idea that NO ONE has ever thought of.
- Sasquatch in Iowa City wants to mail us some beer, but it’s illegal to send alcohol through the mail. Also some GYGO commentary that makes me put my fingers in my ears and say, “Lalalalalalalalalalalalalala,” really loud.
- Shannon Hinners was the Ian transporter and home brew donator.
- Murry from Australia A caller just saw PLANE!! and Clerks II.
- Phil Rossi from VA breaks his long silence to bitch at us about some Snakes on the Plane homage?
- Walter from LA can’t not watch sports movies. Shoot yourself, Walter.
- Kevin from Sacramento Mounds is a fuckin’ genius. Strip Killer Bunnies.
- Wendy from London is happy we like our new posters. Is it wrong to find her accent so damn hot when she’s calling us pissheads? Oh, and Mike, Resident Evil 2 is called Apocolypse.
- Jason of West Oz wants a home brewing show on Speaking of Beer, Charlie’s smart (and fun, and funny) beer podcast.
- Doug from Pennsylvania has an NPR moment listening to Mur’s most recent essay.
- Andrea Smarty Hottie, stuck in traffic in LA, looking for movie stars. Her show opens soon.
- Andrea Smarty Hottie, drunk in LA. The first night of her show. She sold twelve pieces!!
- Barry from Athens was at the Dragon*Con Wingin’ It. Has some commentary on Mur’s essay.
- Nutrino from New Jersey is a sucker for Milla Jovovich and Summer Brooks.
- Joel from California thinks Jay is no longer the master. (Do I really have to tell you it’s NSFW?) Long live Mur!
- Scott from Tucson brings us a Wingin’ It/Nyquil hybrid.
- Ray from Idaho wants us to toast his dearly departed father.
- ditto, not stuck in traffic, at a bar, recommends Old Engine Oil from the Harviestoun Brewery Ltd. At least, he would if he could pronounce it.
We go out on Phil’s Snakes on the Plane thing.

September 12th, 2006 at 10:22 am
So whats with the anti-Jack Mangan fan club?
He never said anything against the Scots, yet somehow the Scots hate him.. hmmmm
Thanks for the kind words there Mike and Evo
September 12th, 2006 at 10:23 am
ditto!!!!!!
woot!!!
September 12th, 2006 at 10:30 am
Phil Rossi is the shiznit
September 12th, 2006 at 10:36 am
I never said he hated Scots but he deserved it for trying a terrible Scottish accent and the only reason Shannan got involved, she is my best friend. And friends stick together
September 12th, 2006 at 10:53 am
people make fun of Americans and hispanics all the time and I dont think they deserve to be hated. Jack dont deserve it. Love Jack…yes you must all love Jack.
But anyhoo I was going to comment to say something and now I forgot what that was.
MEH!
Oh well Il just take this time to say Mike and Evo are the shiznit too.
September 12th, 2006 at 10:53 am
Oh come on, Jack knows I am messing with him
September 12th, 2006 at 11:04 am
“I never said he hated Scots but he deserved it for trying a terrible Scottish accent”
Fuck. That.
I tried a bad aussie one, a bad Saudi one, and bad African Tribesman one… I suppose a rep from those groups should start to bash on me eh?
September 12th, 2006 at 11:12 am
Lets bring the love back into Wingin It people..
September 12th, 2006 at 11:13 am
It is all a joke and as far as Jack doesn’t find it bad then who cares, it is all a joke
Wingin’ It is already full of love
September 12th, 2006 at 11:14 am
Oh yeah I remembered what my post was supposed to be.. to the Aussie whose name I have forgoten- I know you were not mocking Enormous.. I felt bad for him because Mike and Evo and everyone at the studio were mocking him.
September 12th, 2006 at 11:42 am
Me too!
Fuck love….
September 12th, 2006 at 12:11 pm
We Love our Aussies.
They keep the show fun and bring the world to us dumb Americans.
Keep ‘em coming guys. We love you.
September 12th, 2006 at 12:19 pm
Who you callin dumb…..
September 12th, 2006 at 1:23 pm
YAY Aussie love!! Yes keep ‘em coming.
PS- Alvie- we are dumb
September 12th, 2006 at 2:42 pm
Alvie you is dumb.
September 12th, 2006 at 3:22 pm
There are only two things I can’t stand in this world. People who are intolerant of other people’s cultures… and the Dutch.
(It’s a quote from a movie. . . just in case The Ranting Dutchman is out there, eager to be offended)
By the way — Joe! How dare you post lazy show notes!!
September 12th, 2006 at 3:31 pm
So I’m wondering what happened to the comments that were here before????
September 12th, 2006 at 4:20 pm
They went bye-bye. Summer moved us to a new server. Comments in transition were… gone. Deal.
September 12th, 2006 at 5:24 pm
Aussie freinds… I want to know more about this “kit & kilo” approach to homebrewing. It sounds a little suspect flavor-wise, though I’m sure it’s got a kick (the “kilo” is pure yeast food a.k.a alcohol-in-the-making).
September 12th, 2006 at 6:47 pm
Alvie be rollin and thinkin…
And as an American Im offended by America’s comments.
September 13th, 2006 at 4:58 am
Hey, looks like my voice mail got in. I’m not a virgin anymore!
Er, maybe I should rephrase that?
September 13th, 2006 at 6:05 am
Just wanted to pipe up here. I don’t hate Jack. I am a listener to the Deadpan and I loved Spherical Tomi. I laughed when he tried to do the Scottish accent…but all I was trying to do is pick on him and the voicemail sounded harsher than it should have. Like Ian said, best friend stick together. Kudos to Mike and Evo…and I really don’t hate Jack…
So long and thanks for all the fish.
September 13th, 2006 at 6:16 am
>>>Wingin’ It is already full of love
Well….. WI is full of SOMETHING all right!
September 13th, 2006 at 10:52 am
Thanks for the unhate, Shannan.
September 13th, 2006 at 1:02 pm
Charlie, I am pretty sure it’s the cans of premixed hops and malt extract with a crappy dry yeast in the top container, I am sure you have seen them. Coopers is the best example that comes to mind. We sell them at the homebrew shop it’s a good introduction to brewing for a beginner but it’s on the Mr.Beer level of homebrewing since you have such little control of the flavors/quality of ingredents. I tend to think they are weak in flavor as well because only have half the flavor of malt extract and the rest the corn sugar contributing little flavor.
September 13th, 2006 at 1:04 pm
I think other Americans are smokin crack, Alvie obvious lost his mind long ago and I for one am offended by other American’s not being offended…
September 14th, 2006 at 6:41 am
Oh and Guys, along with Shelia. I live in Georgia…not North Carolina or Florida. Though I do travel to Ft. Walton almost every other month for work, but that’s not either here or there.
Ya’ll have a great one.
September 14th, 2006 at 8:20 pm
Hey, Shannan. I live in Athens. I know where Warner Robins is. I was one of those that shouted out at the live WI to correct Evo’s, um, pronunciation of the city. Get revenge on him. Send in a voicemail pronouncing Arizona cities “Tuskon” or “Peehoeenix.”
Of course, then there’s Vienna, GA. *throws his hands up in the air*
September 15th, 2006 at 7:27 am
Barry.
Phenix…let’s see if he can get that one. I appreciate you piping up at the live feed. If I didn’t have to rush home to my kiddos (Yes they are more important than DragonCon…hubby and I brought them the next day…hehehe) that both Hans (hubby) and myself would have been at the live taping…next year is a different story.
September 15th, 2006 at 9:33 am
Barry actually Tucson is a very easy city to pronounce, though I have noticed Europeans have a tendency to pronounce it TUCson.
There are plenty of fun words out here other folks have a tough time with like Gila Bend, Saguaro or Prescott.
