Buon giorno, Sneakers! Ian and Dave are a little tired this week – Ian performed the night before in a show that he strangely neglected to promote on the show the week before and it turns out that Dave is a bit of a podcast tramp and talked himself out on somebody else’s podcast. Meanwhile, Ian thinks Dave can magically predict our futures; Dave’s daughter is not prepared for stuff she already likes to be shoved down her throat; The Happening happened to Ian and Dave has to find out what happened; both of them say no to phone pranks so hit the road Jerky Boys and your disgusting ilk; Ian says no to phone conversations in general, but yes to Bob Newhart; he’s said it before, but Dave is just so fed up with Monty Python, but he thinks Firesign Theater was pretty great; actually, Dave thinks Monty Python is pretty great too or we’d believe him if he and Ian could remember a single minute of any of their films; Ian tells us that the 70s were a hard time for astronauts; and finally they end the show with a typically sensitive farewell to Robin Williams.
Don’t forget to go see Dave perform last night at The Prophouse!
Thanks for listening.

Here’s Johnny Preston’s Running Bear which had its Oooga Chakas borrowed for Hooked On A Feeling. Written by The Big Bopper J.P Richardson. #1 for three weeks in the U.S. in 1960. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PfrpcqLyzY
The original B.J. Thomas version of Hooked On A Feeling didn’t have the Oooga Chakas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2lEO7vaozo They got added when Jonathan King covered it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WG3A69CnjoY Then Blue Swede did the version we’re most familiar with and which is in Guardians of The Galaxy, a movie that I think you should see, no matter what David thinks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrI-UBIB8Jk
