Murray and Bright


Sunday was catch-up with Christmas day.

Usually, the traditions come down hard on the ole Boody household right after Thanksgiving,
beginning with 4 am Black Friday coffee and mall walking, followed immediately with lights and ornament hanging. But this year we've been a little preoccupied with the wedding right around the corner -- on December 20th -- so our timeline has taken a bit of a backseat. But today it arrived, front and center, with a trip to our normal, reliable Fraser Fur pusher at Pine Hill Farms out in Tarrant, AL. I've liked the place since we first went out there in 2010; they allow pale, depleted urbanites like me to indulge their inner-rural manhood and cut down a tree with their bare hands, then dope you up on cider and agro-entertainment like live reindeer until your blood runs red and green.

Episode 146 -- "The ADHD's"

 http://onsug.com/shows/Jan15/onsug_Jan15_midnightcitizen112.mp3
Join Mike in the studio at night, where he remembers the ADHD's, a group of students back in high school who were too hyperactive and aggressive to mesh with the general population, and the time when one of them, Giffin, went too far with a can of pepper spray. Also: how a wedding can be like a late episode of "Happy Days"; the actor who played "Raj" on "WHAT'S HAPPENING?" commented on one of my recent episodes, reviews of Bobcat Goldthwait movie "Call Me Lucky" (2015) and TV show "Fargo".

Live Streaming Apps -- Atticus Finch's Dream is Realized!


I have to admit it: I'm addicted to live streaming apps. I just think it's one of the great marvels of the last few years that we can all kick back with our smart phones and see the world through someone else's eyes -- walk in their skin, if you will. That was Atticus Finch's dream, right?
