Inside the April podcast.
Interstellar Tour Log: April 3, 2014
On the surface of Dwarf Planet 2012 VP.
Still out here in Ort Cloud land, taking a bit of a break before heading back home to see what condition the Cheney Hammer Mill is in since our departure some ten weeks ago. (Lawn probably needs cutting.) While I'm reclining in a hammock, waiting for Marvin (my personal robot assistant) to deliver my next High Ball on a silver tray, this seems like a good time to tick through some of the highlights on our brand new March .... I mean, April THIS IS BIG GREEN podcast. Or is it March? Well ... no matter.
Anywho, here it is:
Ned Trek XVII - The Romney Syndrome
Who would have guessed that we would have made it to the 17th episode of this monthly audio mash-up of classic Star Trek, Mr. Edd, and the 2012 Republican National Convention? Not I. Even so, this episode (introduced as always by Lee Majors) is a riff on the classic series episode, the Paradise Syndrome - Captain Romney bumps his head in a stone outhouse on an alien world, loses his memory, and goes all native CEO on the cigar-store Native American stereotypes who inhabit this television paradise. Oh, and the Nixon android has a zero-gravity tryst with an automated mining vessel. (You ... kind of have to listen to it. )
This month's Ned Trek features no less than six new Big Green songs, written to move the ponderous plot along. They include:
My Masterpiece
Richard Pearle's neocon ode to the merits of his greatest work, the Iraq war.
Space is the Devil
Chief Engineer Welsh sings this sea chanty to caution Mr. Ned against engaging the warp drive engines. A stunning performance. (I'm still stunned. Bring me another high ball!)
I Place You First
This is the sick little song a love-struck Nixon android sings to the Halliburton mining vessel before he, well ... docks with it. Androids will be androids.
This Horse's Sense
Mr. Ned laments the stupidity of his human comrades in his signature style.
Happy and Peaceful Here
Romney's song about finding his way through his idyllic life on the surface of Nobodelcarus, where he has become Chief Financial Officer in his amnesiac state.
Lies from the Pit of Hell
Doc Coburn's rocker about his personal hero, Congressman Paul Broun of Georgia (and of the Middle Ages).
That's the show. Hope you enjoy it as much as I'm enjoying this hammock.
