THEO: Aargh, Veronica Mars’ fans. You’re listening to Neptune Pirate Radio.
[OPENING THEME MUSIC: Vancefurd- Pirate Song]
SANDY: Welcome back, Pirates. It’s time for another podcast and you know, I don’t know if there’s gonna be a lot to talk about. It’s kind of a slow week, nothing really eventful happened…
THEO: Yeah. Oh wait a second? No. No. No. Don’t you remember?
SANDY: What?
THEO: We got a season three.
SANDY: Oh wait, we did?
THEO: Yeah.
SANDY: We got renewed?!
THEO: Yes. We did.
[Joyous giggles]
THEO: We got renewed, baby. Oh yeah.
SCARLETT: Oh yeah!
SANDY: Oh yeah, season three.
THEO: 22 glorious episodes.
SCARLETT: But only if we all get watching it.
THEO: That’s right.
SCARLETT: Or we’ll be back down to thirteen, nine, zero.
SANDY: Exactly. So the work is not over, Pirates! You have to keep on!
SCARLETT: You need to recruit.
SANDY: Recruit, recruit, recruit.
THEO: The battle has just begun.
SANDY: Exactly. Exactly. But I have to say, when the news came down on Tuesday, I’ve never felt more relieved.
SCARLETT: Oh it was crazy. I just got back from work when I heard and Sandy sent me an email. It didn’t even have a body in the email. It was just: We’re Renewed! It was the most exciting thing that happened all day.
SANDY: I- yeah. I didn’t even think to tell you how I found out, how I came upon this information.
SCARLETT: I was like, what? How do we know? I was convinced that it wasn’t real. I was like, are you completely just like, jerking with me here?
THEO: Sandy has now completely descended into her own imagination. That’s great.
SANDY: I just thought I would be really mean to Scarlett and give her fake news.
THEO: I know.
SANDY: Um. So many of you, our listeners, sent us emails as well to tell us and we appreciate that. We were, I mean we were all just dying I think all day. All day.
[Cameron, the transcriber, insists that the team does not know from dying, after the hellish transcript that is still festering on her computer. However, she is to busy hearing the bells ring joyful and triumphant, and even her cold heart is having trouble being sarcastic. SQUEE!]
THEO: Yeah. It was thrilling. I’ve had quite a week as well.
SCARLETT: You’ve had an even better week, Theo.
THEO: I’ve had an amazing week. Uh, I- you know we found out about the renewal on, what was it, Tuesday?
SCARLETT: Yeah.
SANDY: Yeah.
THEO: Tuesday. We found out- it’s all sort of blending together in my brain, but uh. We found out about the renewal Tuesday and then the upfronts are here in New York. And uh, everyone- basically, when a network, what upfronts are is the networks roll out their new programming for the next season. And uh, they ask advertisers to go ahead and buy time, buy advertising time. So the new CW premiered their upfronts for the 2006-2007 season here in New York on Thursday. And I was in contact with a lot of great people from the Television Without Pity site, and we just spontaneously organized this trip to Bryant Park to visit the big party with the upfronts.
[Sirens in BG. Surprisingly, the sirens are not in New York. That’s a little Pirate trivia for everyone, and also a lovely way to break up this monologue.]
THEO: So I take my lunch break and I walk down to Bryant Park and it’s just a gorgeous setup with, you know, huge party. All these executives, all the stars walking around with drinks, you know, and it was fantastic. So then we find out that some of us have tickets. Someone gave us tickets. So my friend on Television Without Pity, musicfreak, she and I grab the first tickets and we head in. So immediately we make a beeline to find whoever we can find from Veronica Mars. We’ve heard it was Jason Dohring. We’ve heard it was uh, Rico. We’ve heard it was Kristen Bell. You know, we hear all these rumors. So uh, we spend about 10 minutes really nervous, really wondering if we should be there, because we’re very casually dressed and these people are in suits. But, you know, we figure what the hell. We’ve got one chance. Let’s grab it.
THEO: So we walk in and we walk around for about 15 minutes. And all of a sudden, I see Jason Dohring standing alone. Like, no one’s around him. I see Kristen Bell. She’s surrounded by people. So I’m like, what the hell? I have one chance. So I walk up to Jason and I introduce myself. You know, I explain that I’m one of the hosts of the podcast and I’m involved with, you know, these great people who are very excited about Veronica Mars and keeping it on the air-
SANDY: Yay! He gave us a shout out!
THEO: -and he was, he gave us a shout out. He was just amazed. He was thrilled. He was, you know, again. He was so impressed with us. He was impressed with the people that did the Look to the Skies campaign so much. And uh, you know, then Enrico Colantoni came over-
SCARLETT: We love you Jason!
THEO: -we do. Then Enrico came over and introduced himself to me. We spoke for a few minutes and then the three of us sort of talked about the Look to the Skies campaign and the plane, and they were just amazed at how much the fans had really done. So much work. And they both wanted to tell you, they wanted to give you a huge thanks, everyone out there, for helping get them a third season of this great show. And uh, thanks for your hard work. I just want to say personally- I wanna echo that sentiment, because I want to thank everyone out there listening for their hard work and helping keep this show around.
SCARLETT: Really.
SANDY: Seriously.
THEO: Absolutely.
SANDY: Definitely.
SCARLETT: That’s making me so giddy.
THEO: I know! I got so-
SCARLETT: I have a big smile on my face. I can’t wipe it off.
THEO: So I- it was actually nice ‘cause there was really no one around. It wasn’t a real- there wasn’t much of a crowd until- we got to speak for about 5 or 10 minutes. And it was, uh, it was really nice. And then uh, the CW photographer came over and was like; let’s get some pictures. So the four of us got some great Polaroids taken, and it is now in a place of honor in my bedroom. So it was great meeting them. They’re just- they seem like super people. And it was a blast. I just- absolutely a blast. So I’m very lucky and that was all the day before my birthday. So needless to say, I have had the absolute best birthday week I’ve ever had in my entire life. So.
SCARLETT: You got your birthday wish.
THEO: It absolutely was. Renewal and getting to meet the stars. So uh, who could ask for anything more?
SANDY: Yes. Happy. A special Happy Birthday to Theo.
THEO: Thank you. Yeah. I. I. Uch. I’m still like, a little ferklempt about it.
[Laughter]
SANDY: Well I’m still a little jealous about it.
THEO: Well…
SCARLETT: Yeah. I’m still a bit green here.
THEO: Yeah. Yeah. They’ve seen the pictures. So.
SANDY: Yes.
SCARLETT: We have. It’s not funny. He gets to touch them.
SANDY: I know. Lucky boy.
[Cameron, the transcriber, has not yet seen the pictures. Nor did she make it to Bryant Park, a fact about which she is still beyond bitter.]
SCARLETT: So that was our moment for fuming rage.
THEO: That’s right.
SCARLETT: We love it really.
SANDY: Well I was just gonna say we can take a little break and come back and tell everybody about our plans for the summer hiatus, because now we know for sure that it’s a hiatus-
SCARLETT: That’s my favorite word.
SANDY: as opposed to, you know-
THEO: The end of the world.
SANDY: Exactly. Which was the other alternative.
THEO: It’s the word for the week. [Hiatus]
SANDY: Exactly. All right.
SCARLETT: Hiatus!
SANDY: Well we’ll be back after this, guys.
[CAMERON: WAIT! A BREAK! A REAL BREAK! WHAT?! WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?]
[Song plays: Blank by Unknown.]
MYSTERYVO: This fall, the History Channel will present a wholly new perspective on the 20th century. History will need to be rewritten when we reveal who really kidnapped the Lindbergh baby or what really sunk the Titanic. And who really killed JFK in the History Channel’s brand new program from star researcher and historian, R.T. Homas? He will reveal who is the great mastermind, who manipulated the stock market in 1929, who sabotaged the Hindenburg and who cursed the Cubs over a bunch of goats. Blame it on Beaver. This fall. Only on the History Channel.
SCARLETT: Welcome back, Pirates. Now we’re gonna talk a little bit about what time the show is on, where you can find it, and a little bit about the new network, the CW.
SANDY: Yes. Their website is up and running now, actually. We’ll put a link to that on our site. But it’s www.cw.tv.com, and they have a little preview video of all the shows on their main site, which you need flash to be able to see. But it’s really kind of a cool little video, and Veronica gets a lot of coverage in that video. So. I think that’s a good sign.
THEO: Excellent.
SCARLETT: We love that shade of green too.
SANDY: It is. It is very green.
[Laughter]
THEO: Yeah. I like the new logo. The new logo grew on me.
[CAMERON: Like GREEN grass? Because it’s SO GREEN?]
THEO: Uh, I saw it on Thursday and I wasn’t a big fan. But I like it now. I’ve come around.
SANDY: It’s very OC-like.
THEO: Yeah.
SANDY: So in that sense I kinda wish they had done something different. But they definitely- it’s very obvious if you go to the site that they’re definitely directing themselves towards a younger, more hip demographic. So that’s very cool.
SCARLETT: That’s excellent for our show anyway.
THEO: Speaking of which, when’s the show scheduled next fall?
SANDY: It- it’s on. I like how you’re pretending like you don’t know just so that I’ll get the information to the listeners. But I know you already know.
[Laughter]
THEO: Honestly, I do know. But-
SANDY: You want me to tell everybody else?
THEO: I’m very forgetful. I- yeah.
SANDY: It’s-
THEO: It’s been a long week, so. Shut up.
SANDY: I just don’t like to insult our listeners. We know. Guys, we know.
SCARLETT: It’s on Tuesdays.
SANDY: It is. It’s on Tuesdays at 9. It’s saving- it’s gonna be in the same timeslot it is now. It’s gonna be following Gilmore Girls, which I think is awesome. It’s gonna be the best pairing ever.
SCARLETT: It’s a good lead-in for the show, definitely.
SANDY: It’s a great lead-in for the show. And one of the things we want to do- we actually contacted and have talked a little bit with the podcasters at The Unofficial Gilmore Girls Podcast, Alicia and Dave. They’re terrific, terrific people and they’re both fans of Veronica Mars just like we’re fans of Gilmore Girls. And, you know, definitely if you’re not already a Gilmore fan, since it’s gonna be preceding the show next year you should definitely check it out.
SCARLETT: Hey, they have their very own Logan.
SANDY: They do. They have their own Logan.
SCARLETT: They do.
SANDY: Yeah.
SCARLETT: A perfect match of shows.
SANDY: Alexis Bledel said that her Logan was hotter and I’m not gonna go that far.
SCARLETT: No. We’re just not gonna argue about that.
THEO: You know, I’ve never seen the show, but in the spirit of camaraderie, I have the first season here and I plan on watching it this summer. Hopefully soon, in the next few weeks. So, you know. Thanks for, I wanna just thank the uh, people at the Gilmore Girls podcast for the shout out and their support. So hopefully these two great shows can, you know, line up to rule the television world.
SANDY: Oh, they will.
THEO: On Tuesday nights. So.
SANDY: They will. I mean Tuesday nights, it’s gonna be like, the critically acclaimed girls’ night. I’ve been a fan of Gilmore Girls since the first episode aired, and I love it. My Tuesday nights are already Gilmore Girls/Veronica Mars, so. I think it’s gonna work out really well. I’m excited.
THEO: I remember months ago when the speculation started about the scheduling. And I remember everyone talking about how it would be a dream placement for these two shows to be together. So uh, hopefully it will be even better and the ratings will soar.
SANDY: That’s the goal. That’s the goal. ‘Cause we wanna get all 22 of those episodes that were ordered.
SCARLETT: And then season four.
SANDY: Oh man. Season four.
SCARLETT: And then five, six, then seven… I’m not finishing until Kristen Bell is old and decrepit.
[Laughter]
THEO: Veronica Mars files her Social Security.
SANDY: Yes.
SCARLETT: Exactly. That’s when we know it’s jumped the shark. Until then…
SANDY: That sounds good to me. Um. I’m-
THEO: I’ll keep watching. I don’t know what- I’ll watch.
SANDY: Well-
SCARLETT: Except we don’t have anything to watch until the end of summer, so we’re gonna have quite a bit of time to cover with our little podcast. ‘Cause we’re not going on hiatus, are we guys?
THEO: Oh no.
SANDY: No, we’re not.
[CAMERON: No. We’re. Not.]
SANDY: Unlike the show, we are not taking a break. We’re gonna keep on trucking.
THEO: That’s right.
SCARLETT: But only one every fortnight, so. You’re gonna get a little break from us.
SANDY: Aw. Scarlett’s bringing in the Briticism.
THEO: I know.
SANDY: I mean I know fortnight isn’t technically a Briticism, but-
THEO: No.
SCARLETT: Do you guys not? A fortnight is every two weeks then.
[Laughter]
SANDY: I mean I know what it means!
SCARLETT: A fortnight is so much easier! It’s 14 days, people.
SANDY: Or, as we say in the U.S., it’s two weeks. Um. Yes. Every two weeks we’re gonna bring a podcast as opposed to every other week.
[Long pause as everyone listens to that sentence.]
SANDY: I’m sorry! As opposed to every week! Every two weeks is every other week.
[Laughter]
SCARLETT: Oh, Sandy. I love you.
SANDY: I… always misspeak. Um. Yes. Every two weeks we’re gonna do a podcast. We’re gonna bring a podcast and we also- we’re gonna be getting our commentary that we promised out to you soon. I think by next week we will have it up. Um, for Memorial Day weekend when we will not be producing a podcast. And if it goes well, if you guys don’t hate it, we will do some more of those in the down weeks.
SCARLETT: Definitely.
THEO: Oh, well that was fun.
SCARLETT: It was a lot of fun.
SANDY: Yeah. It was definitely fun for us to do. I hope it’s fun for you to listen to.
SCARLETT: To listen to.
THEO: We enjoyed it so maybe that’s all that counts.
SCARLETT: Very good.
[Laughter]
SANDY: Let’s just keep putting them out there. Nobody can listen. That’s okay; we’ll just keep shoving them back on the air.
THEO: We’ll just call each other every week and uh, spend about an hour on the phone with each other talking about an old episode of Veronica Mars.
SANDY: Pointing out what is in the pictures in the background.
THEO: Oh yeah.
SANDY: Yes.
THEO: Talking about uh, people’s poor dress habits.
SCARLETT: Oh I’m sorry, but there were some poor, poor dress habits there.
THEO: All this and more in the uh, episode commentary.
SCARLETT: Coming this summer.
SANDY: Yes. Coming this summer to a podcast near you.
THEO: That’s right.
SANDY: Fashion critiques from Scarlett.
SCARLETT: Oh yes. But we’re gonna hope to get some kind of fan interaction into our podcast. Maybe.
SANDY: Yes.
SCARLETT: Over the summer.
SANDY: Yes.
SCARLETT: We’re not completely sure how we’re gonna do it, but we’re thinking maybe interviews, maybe highlight some big fan efforts.
SANDY: Yes. Yeah. We would like to bring in some different people from different websites and let them talk about, you know, where their website came from, what they’re doing, what’s going on…
THEO: ‘Cause really, this is the perfect time to start catching people up on Veronica Mars that haven’t seen it. And uh, you know, a good way of finding out how to do that is to listen to the people that are involved in, you know, things like this podcast and the fan sites, and other things like that. They’ve got some great stories about how they’ve converted their friends, family, loved one, and pretty much anyone who will listen to them. So uh, I’m excited to hear some new ideas and new strategies for getting people to watch Veronica over the summer. So we’ve got, you know, 3 or 4 months here that don’t have any new material. So you’ve got plenty of time to catch people up and get them ready for the big season three premiere.
SANDY: Exactly. And for anybody who is new, this gives them an opportunity to sort of learn where all of these great Veronica resources are that we’re, you know, that people who’ve been fans for a long time already know about, but somebody who’s new to the Veronica Mars family might not be aware of. So we’re definitely gonna be doing our best to get that information to you.
SANDY: Another thing that we’re gonna be trying to do, and I don’t wanna get anybody’s hopes up, but we are trying to contact everybody we can think of who’s involved with the show or the cast and try and get them on the podcast and maybe interview them. We’ve had Michael Muhney on twice and he was amazing both times, and we want to have him on again. Obviously because Michael’s awesome and we’d love to have him every day if we could.
SCARLETT: Exactly.
SANDY: In addition we’re gonna try and get some of the other actors who were on the show. And honestly I think we’re really- we’ve already created a list of everybody. But if you have any ideas about how to get people- if you know of somebody who has a website. I know somebody emailed-
SCARLETT: Contacts or such.
SANDY: Yes. Exactly. I know somebody let me know that Adam Hendershott has a MySpace page and I contacted him through that. So if you have information like that that you think would be useful to us, please send it along. We’d appreciate it. We would love it.
SCARLETT: It’s all for the greater good, people.
SANDY: Yes.
THEO: That’s right.
SANDY: Very true.
SCARLETT: We’ll just ramble to some people. It’ll be interesting.
SANDY: Yes. Very true.
THEO: And who doesn’t like to brag about celebrities they know, so.
SANDY: Yeah. And who doesn’t like to listen to us ramble? You know.
[Cameron, the transcriber, decides to let that one go.]
SCARLETT: Absolutely.
THEO: I do.
SCARLETT: I love it.
SANDY: I just wanna get everybody in here playing Two Truths and a Lie. That’s my goal.
[Cameron clears her throat. Loudly.]
SCARLETT: It would be great. I want some new people so we can play Two Truths and a Lie. We haven’t played it for ages.
[CAMERON: AAAAHHHHHEEEEMMMM. Oh. Sorry. Something must have gone down the wrong pipe. Excuse me. Carry on.]
SANDY: I know. It’s true. We kind of forgot and didn’t make Cameron the Transcriber play. That was a mistake on our part. Good thing it didn’t kill the show. I was a little worried.
THEO: You- you were a little worried?
SANDY: Yeah.
SCARLETT: Your microphone’s shaky.
THEO: Hold on. Hold on. You were a little worried that not having our transcriber play Two Truths and a Lie would destroy the future of a network television show?
[Giggles]
THEO: Wow.
SANDY: It could jinx us. Shut up.
SCARLETT: You know I never thought it would jinx us, so I think we’re fine.
THEO: Yeah. Yeah, you’re right. It could jinx us. So uh, everyone: Don’t change your underwear for all of season three so uh, we get a season four. I don’t know. What?
SANDY: Don’t mock me.
SCARLETT: Lucky underwear. Lucky underwear on. Reindeer boxers!
SANDY: Reindeer boxers! That’s true. Um. I think we should take a break before I, um, punch Theo in the face.
[CAMERON: I will totally knock his coffee over in the subway. I’ve got your back.]
SANDY: We’ll see if that’s a jinx.
THEO: I’ve gotta go contact my attorney. So.
SANDY: Um, I am your attorney.
THEO: Damn it! I knew there was a problem in that situation!
SANDY: And I knew there was a bonus. All right. Well we’re gonna take a break and we’ll be back to, you know, give everybody our final thoughts on uh, the renewal excitement. And… that’s it. Okay.
[CAMERON: NO! WE ARE NOT GOING TO BREAK YET! WE SHALL RESOLVE THIS TWO TRUTHS AND A LIE ONCE AND FOR ALL! AND I WILL RELEASE MY DEATH GRIP ON THE CAPS LOCK BUTTON!]
[CAMERON: Okay. So. Two Truths and a Lie. Hmm….
IMAGINARYTHEO: Joke joke, funny funny.
IMAGINARYSANDY: [Laughter]
IMAGINARYSCARLETT: Funnier joke innuendo Scottish accent
CAMERON: [laughs] Okay. Wow. You guys. Okay. Three statements. Okay. Number One: Like Weevil, I ride a badass motorcycle (but I was never in a gang called the PCHers). Number Two: Like Meg, I have survived a bus crash (but I did not go on to have a coma baby and die). Number Three: I also had a friend in high school whose nickname was Butters (but I did not trick my tech-savvy friend into becoming his prom date). Okay. Those are the three. Two Truths and Lie, Pirates!
[Now you can have your break.]
[Song by Them]
THEO: Aargh, Pirates! Welcome back. Now is the time we’ve got a special guest here, Bailey, who usually does our music segment. Hello Bailey.
BAILEY: Hi.
SANDY: Hey Bailey.
THEO: We wanted to uh, just bring you in, talk a little about the music plans for this summer, and uh, your reaction to renewal of course.
BAILEY: Oh. That was a happy day. I was in shock for quite a while. I hadn’t been online at all that day and Sandy called me at work. And it just totally came out of the blue and I was like, huh! Oh my God! Are you serious?
SANDY: Yeah. You definitely like, paused and freaked out. I like how these stories keep coming that like, I told-
SCARLETT: Everyone!
SANDY: I did! I told everyone!
SCARLETT: It’s like, you found out and you got online and you emailed me, and then you were calling Bailey. It was like-
THEO: You told me as well. So of the three of us, you told us all.
[Laughter]
SANDY: I did tell everybody!
THEO: But you know what? Don’t be ashamed of that. That’s awesome. I’m glad I have a friend like you with the connections and the know how.
SCARLETT: Sandy has her finger on the button.
THEO: You do!
BAILEY: I was glad she told me or else I wouldn’t have found out, because I hadn’t been online at all. And I actually didn’t go online until much later that night, so. It was definitely a good thing.
THEO: A day of joy.
SANDY: I was cursing when I called um, ‘cause I guess I called you first, Theo, and then I called um, Bailey.
SCARLETT: You mean I was the last to know?
[Laughter]
SANDY: Well, because I was cursing ‘cause I knew you were at work. And I was yelling at Bailey on the phone about how I was so angry that you weren’t around because-
SCARLETT: I was at work!
SANDY: Yes! Because normally, our listeners obviously don’t know this, but normally you and I are- we email like all day. All day long.
SCARLETT: We do. We’re sad, sad crutch kind of people.
SANDY: We do. We’re like at work and you’re like, at school, and we’re emailing all day. Um, because we’re conscientious like that. I was like, why? Why of all times for you not to be online is it right now? And I was so mad that I couldn’t call you.
SCARLETT: But you know what? When I got back from work and I found this, it was just; it was joyful and triumphant! That’s what it was!
[Laughter]
SANDY: It was!
SCARLETT: I heard bells Sandy!
[More laughter]
SANDY: I’ve played that song-
THEO: Hands In Pants!
SANDY & SCARLETT: Hands in Pants!
SANDY: We shouted! I’ve played that song like, ninety, eleventy million times.
[Laughter]
SANDY: I made up new numbers for it!
[SCARLETT mumbles]
THEO: I’m, I’m sorry. What?
SCARLETT: You had the hands on your pants. That’s pretty close.
[Laughter]
THEO: I… I. Yeah. Let’s not focus on me. Let’s focus on something else.
BAILEY: Wait, what?
SANDY: That would have been funny if he had put- when he met- I suspect that she was talking about when you met Jason, right?
THEO: Uh, it was in fact. I have a very nice picture of the, of Rico, me, and Jason in a, you know, sort of a-
SCARLETT: A sandwich.
THEO: -in a sandwich.
SCARLETT: A Theo sandwich.
THEO: It is indeed a Theo sandwich. And uh, it’s-
SCARLETT: No Olsen twins filling this time.
THEO: No. None of those. But uh, it was exciting.
SANDY: I would have loved you if you had said, “Jason, um. Just for my fellow podcasters could you put your Hands In Your Pants? Thanks.”
[Laughter]
THEO: Wow. Well you know Sandy, I did propose to him on your behalf.
SANDY: Thank you! You’re such a sweetheart!
SCARLETT: You know he’s never gonna come and talk to us now.
THEO: Never ever. Never. I don’t think now.
SANDY: I know. Now you’ve scared him away.
SCARLETT: These are our cast interviews gone down the drain because they’ll never come speak to us ever again.
THEO: Well I had to judge, you know, what’s the importance of asking him to be on the podcast or asking him to marry Sandy. Because, I’m sure you all know, but Sandy’s a very powerful and influential person. Let’s not be on her bad side, ‘cause as you’ve seen, her logic can just ravage you. So uh, I wanted to make her happy.
SANDY: It’s true! I do hold the fate of the show in my jinxy little hands.
THEO: Your jinxy little hands. So I told him I was authorized to propose on your behalf. And uh, I told him that however, I didn’t actually propose. I was like, I can’t really do it. I don’t feel like living out your little Jane Austen Pride and Prejudice fantasy here. So.
SANDY: Oh.
SCARLETT: So sad.
SANDY: Did Jason say, “Stay away from that stalker and don’t ever talk to me about her again?”
THEO: You know. I’d like to think the security was called because of some of their [something with an a] but when I was escorted out he was assured it was not because I had, you know, just like, jumped on him.
SANDY: Okay. Good. Um. Well we’ve already talked a little bit about some of our plans for the summer. Obviously in our wildest fantasies, mine particularly; we would obviously love to get somebody like Jason as an interview. I don’t think that’s ever gonna happen. I’m not holding my breath. We’re trying. We’re working on it.
THEO: You mean the evil one?
SANDY: Yes. Evil Beaver.
BAILEY: Hey. We’re not gonna start this today. It’s been a very long day for me.
SANDY: Evil Beaver.
THEO: All right.
SANDY: But what’s gonna be going down on the music front this summer? Anything, Bailey?
BAILEY: Well um, I just wanted to again extend an invitation for people to send me: If you know someone in a band, an independent band, who needs to get their music out there, or if you have any ideas of songs that you’d like to hear on the podcast, or anything like that, just feel free to email me any of your suggestions. The summer is less busy for us. Obviously ‘cause without the show, so I’m open to anything that you wanna send in, and I’ll try my hardest to get music that you’d like to listen to. And you can just email me your suggestions at bailey@neptunepirateradio.com, and that’s pretty much it.
SANDY: All right. Sounds good.
THEO: Very good.
SANDY: So I guess um, that’s it for this podcast. I know you guys are a little floored that it’s not two hours after last week’s.
[Laughter. Cameron does not laugh. She is too busy flailing under the crushing guilt of last week’s still overbearing and unfinished transcript. FLAIL!]
SCARLETT: We rambled ourselves out.
SANDY: Yes. Yes. Um yes. They’re very fortunate we did the commentary first ‘cause we got ourselves all tuckered out doing that.
THEO: But that’s gonna be enjoyable.
SANDY: Hopefully. I mean I hope that it’s enjoyable. It could be really, really awful. We’ll see.
SCARLETT: You’ll have to let us know.
THEO: No, well hey. It was enjoyable for us.
SANDY: It was enjoyable for us.
SCARLETT: Yeah. That’s all that matters.
SANDY: That’s true. Oh! And the one thing I wanted to say about that. One of the things that I think we wanna do when we start, if we do continue to do commentaries, is invite some of our different podcasters who you guys have had a chance to hear. We’ve had Mary on before and we’ve had Cameron our transcriber. Obviously we’ve had Bailey all the time. Let them come sit in on a commentary or two. So that’s something else that we’ll plan so it’s not just the three of us all the time. You know? I think that’d be cool.
THEO: I think that’ll be an excellent idea. Although I do enjoy listening to us ramble on. The more the merrier.
SCARLETT: Listening to yourself, Theo?
THEO: I love listening to myself! But you know, the more the merrier. And actually, if we get more people in that’s even more people to listen to me.
SCARLETT: There you go.
THEO: So it works even better. I like this. You know what? Every one of our listeners can be in one of the episode commentaries. We’ll have, we’ll have DOZENS of people just all screaming at the same instant. It’ll be great. I’m so excited.
SANDY: No we won’t.
SCARLETT: We'd better not do Weapons of Class Destruction then.
THEO: Oh yeah.
BAILEY: The air must be thin up there on top of that high pedestal.
THEO: I- you look like ants from here. That’s all I can say. You look like ants from up here.
SCARLETT: Don’t worry. His giant head balances him well so he doesn’t fall.
[Laughter]
THEO: It provides ballast in storms. So. Yeah.
SANDY: Yeah. We should have never let you talk to Michael Muhney.
THEO: Never ever.
SANDY: Your head has completely swelled.
SCARLETT: Well. Before Theo gets completely away from himself, I think we’re gonna leave you guys. This is Scarlett with your inspirational message for the week: Joy, gentle friends. Joy and fresh days of love accompany your hearts. – Shakespeare. We’ll see you next week, Pirates. Bye!
