Shawn F. Visits, Garry Shandling Dies — Papa’s Basement
First things first, Shawn F. visiting the show and Garry Shandling passing away are unrelated: I simply wanted to include both elements of the show in the title. It’s […]
Last week, Mötley Crüe singer Vince Neil got into a fight with Nic Cage. It’s the kind of shit the Internet eats up, at least until the next thing to hold our shattered attention spans arrives six hours later. Growing up a fan of “the Crüe” (did my insistence on using the umlauts give it away?), it was a story I felt I had to mention on-air. They were (and are) a weird band, whose life story is filled with the insanity I want out of a rock band. Go whack off to Sigur Rós playing guitar with a bow all you want: I want to hear about my musicians drinking piss and snorting ants, goddammit.
The weirdest thing is that Vince Neil is the saner element of this story (which can rarely be said). Remember, Nic Cage had at least a veneer of normalcy to him for a time. I mean, they weren’t casting him as a lead in The Rock because it was known he was batshit: It took a few years for that to come out. Crazy worlds collided on Friday in Vegas as Nic Cage restrained and almost tenderly kissed Vince after Vince apparently threw down a female fan…we discuss on air and laugh at both parties.
We also have a new co-hostess make her debut on the show: co-hostess Sara. I’m not exactly the king of the clever nickname. And for those of you who have listened to the show long enough to remember Doug “DTet” Tetreault, he managed to marry his lovely now-wife Amber over the weekend. I botched getting my plane tickets in time like the ADD typhoon of procrastination that I am and missed the ceremony, but we at least got to talk marriage and Texas, specifically how Texas has some balls charging more than $50 to enter its borders (considering how many do it for free, hiyo!) and that, in a few years (according to Sara), I will start to be treated to a cavalcade of couples in my peer group getting divorced. Finally, Zuckerburg’s privacy deletion machine will have a payoff.
