To say the episode 64 broadcast on 20 Million Miles to Earth was chaotic would be an understatement. I still get angry e-mails from listeners about how crazy it was. Let’s just say there are reasons we edit stuff out for the podcast editions—and two of them are named Travis Alexander and Michael Hamilton! Listening back on this reminds me why Michael and I used to butt heads: he’s a bit like Commander Hell and thinks he owns any place he walks into. Travis, on the other hand, is an agent of chaos (and I don’t mean the Get Smart kind).
This episode was just a month before the Kaiju Weekly podcast went on an extended hiatus. Despite my issues with Michael, I was sad to see it go. Kaiju Weekly was the first kaiju podcast Nate and I guested on, and we’ve been tight with Travis and Michael ever since. I’ve lived a storied life, but sometimes I feel “nostalgic” for things that happened three years ago. Does that count as “nostalgia”? Michael would know: he’s addicted to it. (Just listen to The Power Trip podcast: he says he “mainlines” it). 😛
Anyway, on to my notes:
- Michael always wanted to be a Power Ranger, so I figured the hazmat suit would be a good start to a costume. It’s what he gets for denying my existence. 😛
- Host privileges, Nate? Perhaps you should check some of them at the door.
- I can vouch for…Travis’s assertion…whatever it was.
- I met Billy Cranston once. I’d found my way to Aquitar after narrowly escaping a Natarl cruiser. We were the Double Dragons of intellect.
- I did learn Latin, Marchand. I went to the best schools in New York and Japan!
- Yes, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad was Harryhausen’s next film after this.
- He can’t cut me off here: Nate’s weird. Beyond weird, even. You should see what his apartment looks like. I think his decorator is a nerdy teenage boy. (Oh, wait…).
- Kinko and Sexypus: the latest kaiju porn. And I’m sure Michael watches it daily.
- I think Michael is jealous I saw Ymirs in their native habitat. And then I fixed their native habitat. You’re welcome, Venusians!
- Jimmys are from Venus. This one is, anyway…well, sorta.
- I like space candy. My favorite is Astro-taffy, which is flavored with literal stardust. We call it “Star-Stuff.” We’re all made of it, you know.
Now for Nate’s rather extensive notes. He almost never gets through all of them.
Two in one day! I’m on a roll! Now if only Nate could get caught up on uploading audio. This is what happens when you get promoted to working two jobs.
