Refried show.
Hey, Matt .. what was that joke about the wooden balls again? Oh, right. Nah ... it doesn't work very well without the visual. Scratch that.
Oh, hello. We are, of course, working on the next installment of our podcast. It's like the freaking Forbin Project, for chrissake. Takes us months to write the sucker, record it, edit it, compose and record songs, cut it all together, upload it, then collapse in a heap. (That last part actually happens kind of quickly.) Sometimes you want to just shout, "Enough!", throw up your hands and walk away. Mic drop! But no, my friends, no ... the show must go on.
That said, well ... it HAS been kind of a long time. So we dropped another installment of our Ned Trek podcast - that's the show that is just Ned Trek and no random jabbering between me and my brother. This month's installment is extracted from one of last year's THIS IS BIG GREEN episodes, Ned Trek 23: Mitt's Brain. Based on the Spock's Brain episode of classic Star Trek, it's full of ridiculous plot departures and snarky portrayals of neocon freak bastards. Just the kind of thing you've come to expect from a Big Green podcast. On top of all that, there are 6 original Big Green songs in the mix, not available in stores or on any album (yet). I could tell you what time code numbers they appear at in the show, but then you would just skip the whole play or simply laugh at my presumption, so I'll forgo that.
The songs are, well, some of my favorites from the last year or so. I'd say number one in my book is "Two Lines", a song sung by Lt. Sulu describing his artistic angst over being limited to two-line speeches throughout the entire three-year run of classic Star Trek. The chorus commandeers some of these two-line speeches to communicate Sulu's despair:

Then there's a song about a yellow submarine. Actually not - there is one Pearle song called "Send in Some Advisers" which, well ... the name pretty much says it. Anywho, the show it totally refried, so enjoy it ... a second time.Captain, the controls are frozen
the helm won't respond; we're being pulled inside
Aye, aye, my career is broken
like a giant hand has me in its hold
Captain, the controls are frozen
manual override is completely out
Aye, sir, I've been trying but my
shields are down and I cannot last
