- An exclusive interview with former Letters to Cleo frontwoman Kay Hanley.
- The podcast premiere of the Scamper song "Barcelona" featuring the aforementioned Ms. Kay Hanley.

Strap yourselves in, little Scampernauts - it's going to be a bumpy ride.

As resident grammar Nazi, I'll point out that Scamper is well aware that the narrator should have said "the band began," not "the band begun." Something went haywire in, um, editing.

Man, if you guys can't control your grammer mistakes, I don't think I can continue to listen to your podcast.

GREAT FIRST EPISODE!

Yeah, sorry about that. Although my nickname is Vinny Shit on the Face, I do have a Master's Degree in, um, words, so that shouldn't have happened.

At the same time, you did have about seven takes of me reading that line...

Was that really Theo Epstein?

Brendan said...

Madden, you misspelled grammar. Jerk.

That really was Theo. Nate caught him in his window of "unemployment," hence the humor of his comment.

We've got some other fun cameos in the upcoming weeks as well.

i'm just really concerned about brendan's gingerbread STD issues. I guess that's what you get for being a shortbread man sleeping with gingerbread whores.

Oh my god, you guys, that was great. I love the way Keith kept saying, "rock and roll BAHND!"

And also, the interview with Kay was really interesting, talking about her work with teeny boppers. But I want NAMES.

Oh, I forgot to mention - that picture of us is a crude reenactment of a Monkees album cover. That's why I'm wearing a hat.

I'm Mike Nesmith.

There's an alternate take of that photo with me making the weird fishface that Mike is doing. Keith opted to protect the public from me doing that.

After all 12 episodes air, I'll look back fondly on the days when I was still invited home for the holidays...

I finally found the time to listen all the way through! my roommate and i giggled along instead of writing papers and we both agreed that it was time very well spent (although it did make me homesick.) fabulous job! you should

BRILLIANT. I eagerly await the next one (do we have to wait a whole month?)

Now. In the name of all that is holy, please invest in a Popper Stopper.

February 07, 2006 8:30 AM  
keith said...

No, you don't have to wait a month. It's a weekly show; every Monday for 12 episodes.

As for the Popper Stopper situation, that was mostly the fault of TT The Bear, so give him a break, he's just a blue-collar working bear, not an actor.

February 07, 2006 9:18 AM  
Brendan said...

We will, however, be investing in a Pooper Scooper. For Mike's constant pooping and Nate's compulsive need for scooping

This was indeed great! I never knew my husband could sound so much like a retarded british kid. It's kind of a turn on.

Absolutely hysterical...I loved the Scamper fairy tale!

Nate, I never knew we had the right/left challenge in common. Look at my car - I have an "L" and "R" on respective corners of my front windshield. It's a comfort to know I'm not the only one who missed that lesson in second grade.

I have never been so confused and scared in my life. A talking bear, a cookie with a foul mouth. What's next? A unicorn with a mangina or a troll with scoliosis, or would that be trolliosis?

A personal favorite:

2 pounds lean ground beef
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup fine dry bread crumbs
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 can condensed French onion soup, undiluted
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
ketchup or barbecue sauce, optional

Mmmm, meeeeeeatlooooooooooaf.

Thanks for the recipe, anonymous. How long do I cook it and at what temperature?

I thought Worcestershire sauce was a requirement for meatloaf.

Hey podcast fans,

There's something wrong with the podcast@scamper.net email we tried to set up. If you sent anything to that, we didn't get it. We're trying to get it up and running, but in the meantime you can send any questions, comments, mp3s to brendan@scamper.net.

You guys rule.

February 09, 2006 9:28 AM  
keith said...

It's fixed.

podcast@scamper.net

Brendan knew that; he just wants attention.

Hey there. Just a "Howdy hello how the hell are ya?" to our new listeners that found us through the Adam Curry Podcast. Stick with us; we won't let you down until at least Episode 4.
