NSR #50: Unhappy Father’s Day!

Posted on | June 21, 2010 | Comments Off

Well, we finally made it to 50. It took us nearly 5 years and 17 or 18 extended hiatuses but we got here. And they said it shouldn’t couldn’t be done…

To celebrate, we rambled on like we usually do, but then about halfway along we started talking about Father’s Day and it got all dark and not so happy-happy-joy-joy. But as Beth and you listeners like to say, it’s all about being a “slice of life,” so we’re serving up some slices anyway of:

So Cal Biker talk: Rock Store vs Rock Inn
Our new segment “Something Cool” — this time it was www.somethingstore.com
The Something Chuck got from somethingstore.com
Tell Me I’m Wrong!!!
Barats and Bereta
Beth’s new 3 Things On Your Head limit
Beth’s ongoing poducation
…and of course Father’s Day, Dad angst, etc…

So check out our slice of life on an Unhappy Father’s Day!

Outro: Somewhere In America There’s A Street Named After My Dad by Was (Not Was)
