  So we're talking about 24 on the 24th? That's a government conspiracy if I ever heard one.

  Watch it now, Suss... Sir Mary is the DAK of BCRadio (Designated Ass Kicker)

  A smoother listen, DJR. The segments flowed well throughout, and I also liked the On Writing reference. I swear, no one hates that book. The part about him almost dying made me queasy though.
  
  Anyway, it's funny, but Dawn Olsen sounded exactly as I imagined. Although I expected her to rant more, or get more passionate about her opinions. Maybe that's just how I've read into some of her comments here. Not at me of course since I'm a ghost, but when she defends EO in an argument or something. But I enjoyed that segment.
  
  Alas, one technical note--- is it me, or are you beefing up the phone convos so much (which sound leagues better than your first episode btw) that it's making the iChat with Suss sound low by comparison? In other words, give Suss some beef.
  
  So lastly, Yoshe, you've mastered the P2P discussion... don't you think it's time for a little menage a trois? Get multiple voices debating a topic. Maybe even inject a little venom if possible... capture the true essence of BC. Just my humble opinion though.
  
  But if you've come this far, perhaps you'll dare to go a little further. Don't settle. Good work, man.

  No way would I mess with anyone who went to the WCC. She can wear that title proudly.
  
  Dawn, you mentioned Katie Holmes' parents. Did you know they live about two blocks away from where I hail?

  Wow, Mark I am not sure how I should feel about that assessment :)
  
  I thought I sounded like a butthead, but in my defense I was neither prepared nor warned.
  
  Sabotage I tell you, it was sabotage.
  
  Thanks DJR for your patience!!
  
  Matt - I had no idea you were so close with Hollywood A-listers. I bet the city of Toledo is both proud and embarrassed!!
  
  (of Katie that is.)

  Boys & Girls, that was a hell of a lot of fun this week and somehow the show managed to get uploaded in near record time. I still haven't figured that one out yet. Yeah, I did. EO told me to shut you all up instead of letting you drone on forever. He even told me to shut HIM up. Which I did. Completely. OK, Dawn gets the big assist there. =) She really was just handed the phone with no prep time at all. That, my friends, is impressive. She and I were awesome, to just be honest with you. The rest of you were crap. I kid. I kid. Picking on Sussman might be one of my five favorite things on the whole planet. Sir Mary still frightens me. You all should have heard this week's outtakes with her. That's all I'm going to say. And Joan is still hellbent on cabana boys and world domination...
  
  In all seriousness, I had a lot of fun this week. I am putting out the invite to the other boys and girls to encourage additional participation.

  Sahm, I didn't amp any of the phoners up or turn Suss down but I hear what you mean. I am going to have to light a fire under that boy and get him to put some energy in it. That and I am just going to have to turn the iChat segments up louder to keep the volume levels more consistent.
  
  As to the 3-way... that has everything to do with not having 3-way calling and not being able to get me and 1 guest to shut up. Actually though, a 3-way segment is something on the list of "to-dos."

  The three person segment may happen in "Project Jasper"

  'Tis true, Suss. Just remember the air pump to blow her up. Nevermind. Keep walking.

  I really wanted good trumpet fanfare there, couldn't find any so I went with the rimshot. Thanks, Saleski. Suss liked that one, too.

  Excuse me, Josh! I was fantastic! You were pretty good. And Dawn ranks second only to me.
  
  So there.
  
  Where the fuck's my cabana boy, eh?

  "Picking on Sussman might be one of my five favorite things on the whole planet."
  
  Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
  Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
  Picking on Suss (sorry this doesn't rhyme)
  These are a few of my favorite things

  DJR: Give up one pint of beer a month and you have your system. 3-Way Calling: $4 a month. Problem solved? You'd even be saving empty calories for the sake of community bonding. If not, then maybe a solution would be to have a discussion with two people on the same line... like Dawn and Eric. Or me and my evil split personality. Crap, how'd that get on there? Wait, don't hit publish. No! :)

  Regarding Comment 11, um, she just always looks surprised, what's wrong with that?

  blues performer of the year goes to Marcia Ball for the gulf coast sympathy vote.

  Sahm, good thoughts. I use a calling card for all the long-distance calls I personally place (some of my guests call me). Not sure how 3-way would work with a calling card going.
  
  And if I had Dawn and EO on the same line at the same time, it would still only be a 2-way because I'm just hitting record and letting them go until Garage Band shuts them off (which is what happened this week when I talked to them separately).
  
  Now... you and your evil split... that could be fun.

  Sussman! That was awesome, dude! You have to throw stuff like that around on our segments. Stop wasting it on these comments. ^5!

  That took me six minutes to figure out. I'll give you gold, DJ, but your segment's gonna be 45 minutes long with a lot of dead air.

  If Jay Leno can have his jokes on prearranged cue cards, then so can Suss.

  Suss, that's on the list after we get Joan her cabana boy and me some new recording equipment.

  ...and the crickets will chirp. Let there be no doubt about it.
