Episode 16: We Talk, You Listen
A friendly reminder, we’re rated R. Just sayin. We found a gem and some classical music on the Upper East Side, go check out the 92nd St Y. The knitters of NYC (and all over) represented at the Yarn Harlot Represent Event at FIT for the book launch of the amazing Stephanie Pearl-McPhee and we were there on the scene. Very good times. The refreshingly honest Gene Wilder spoke at the 92nd St Y and gave the scoop about his memoir Kiss Me Like A Stranger and his new novel, My French Whore. What movie is he most proud of? Young Frankenstein of course!
It’s Almost News with Wendy Dorrel, Martin Winslow, and special guest corespondent Chris Fowler tackle current issues.
Toby, the wonder dog, performs the Heimlich and saves a life! We discuss.
If you’re paying alimony to your ex-wife and she gets a penis should you still have to pay him?
Movies are going 3D and we thinks that’s crap. Nothing will ever be better than Captain EO. Nothing!
Are you smarter than a fifth grader? Wendy gets quizzed.iTunes gives a little back, to make more money.
The Senate oks War bill and effectively does absolutely nothing productive in the process. We’re thinking of moving to Canada. Seriously.
Porn on the internet. Sites may soon have the option of having a .xxx instead of a .com Why? There’s really no reason.
Featured Music is found on:
• Earn Hollywood Earn by Possible Oscar off of the album: The Wrath of Con
• Sweet Blossom by Robin Stine off of the album: Daydream
Make sure to check out our musician’s websites and show them some love.

Marti and Wendi,
I’m feeling a strange mixture of pride and jealousy!!!!
I’m very proud for you to see your endeavour pick up and go! I’m jealous that I’m not there with you doing this!
if you need a west coast correspondent, let me know.
i also would like to negotiate with you the exclusive rights to promote and and broadcast “Clownzilla - a love story”, my latest project that i estimate will one day rival Cirque Du Soleil!!!!
lets talk!
ciao,

I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time. Genius. Pure genius.

“You laugh but I don’t know” Wendy you are adorable. You bring such a good balance to the show. That Chris guy can really sing. Great job guesting on the show man. Marty, you were excellent as usual. More news!

Hi Wendy, I am listening to your podcast and it’s awesome! First of all, you heard the Nash Ensemble … wow, they are just the greatest. I’ve been listening to their records for nearly 20 years. Second, the ultimate knitting event, Harlot’s Represent. And then the dog news … hilarious. And that’s just the first 15 minutes. Respect!

I had to catch up on a few episodes so I didn’t get to listen to this one until today while I knit a pair of socks. You both make me want to move to New York and start going after what I love, theater. It must be so neat doing what you want to be doing and making so many people laugh during your shows. Thanks for the inspiration and the laughs. Maybe I’ll get to meet you all some time and I can take you both out for a drink.
Wendy, you like martinis right?
I agree, Chris did a excellent job and you should have him sing more!
(Does he really look like Ryan Seacrest?)
Now that I’m caught up I’m antsy for the next epsidoe!

RJ, we’re happy to promote your show! We’ll give a shout out next show.
Cheryl and Scott THANK YOU! And yes “that Chris guy” is an AMAZING singer. I had the pleasure of hearing him sing in the shower every morning when we were all roommates. Good times.
Eusebius, welcome to our wacky little podcast!
Make yourself at home!
Brooke, did someone say martini? I’m so there! If theatre is where you want to be then NYC is definitely the place. I’ll email you some advice (things I wish I’d known before moving here)about areas to live (shout out to Jerzy City!). I’m touched that we actually inspired some one. That’s just, well that rocks. I agree, I’ll work on getting Chris on to sing for a future episode and no he doesn’t look like Ryan Seacrest. They both have blond hair and blue eyes but Chris is way, way hotter.

This one was serious with its R Rating. I listen to these at work and I had to hush it all the time because Chris kept cursing or talking about vaginas.
Marty: “When I took dance classes, I was gay”. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You guys are a bunch of lazy smelly pirate hookers!

I did warn about the R rating.
Joe, we are pirate hookers for real and we suck. Now shut up and move here already.
