Yeah-Uh-Huh

This week is our first episode of rerun forensics, which is a brand new type of YUH format where we pick a classic television episode of a favorite show and dissect, analyze and discuss.  As time permits, we may even take a swing at a show’s ultimate cause of death, but the main focus will be on the specific installment we have selected. The shows will be loaded with short bios and fun f...

2022 marks the 70th Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II.  Our guest today may be her biggest fan, having collobarated with a host of musical dignitaries to compose an album in honor of her majesty.  Thomas-Mace-Archer-Mills was once the hottest interview on the planet.  In the middle of the Prince Harry/Megan Markle tiff with the Queen,  Thomas was considered an athority on the monar...

The unprovoked war in Ukraine is over a month old,  and new events change the outlook every day.  Today the city of Bucha was recaptured by Ukranian forces after the retreat of the Russian army,  and evidence of Vladimir Putin's war crimes offered a grim reminder of his barbaric resolve.  Over 400 civilians were found dead in the streets or dumped into mass graves, with indicat...

Around 2007 or so I took Tim O'Connor's Windows Server 2008 class at Max Technical Training,  where a young Tim went rogue to enthusiastically break down TCP/IP packets. Even though the lesson was intended for a more expensive class than the one I was taking, it spoke volumes about the instructor's passion for learning.  Sometime long before that Lisa volunteered at The Cincinnati Nature...

Phil used to play a boardgame called Shogun with a kid who grew up to be an NFL Super Bowl champion with the 2002 New England Patriots.  It was the first of seven Lombardi's by a (then) fourth string QB named Tom Brady, thrust into action that season only due to a devastating injury to franchise qb Drew Bledsoe. Marc rose from the big fish in the small pond of unassuming Norwood, Ohio to standout...

We spent last Saturday with Rett talking about Frank and Dweezil Zappa,  MTS Management, Weird Al and north Florida legends Lyndard Skynard and Tom Petty.  His upcoming album is "Around The Bend", quite literally,  and we took a pretty deep dive behind the whiskey-soaked concepts driving songs like "New Year's Day", "Sleep it Off" and "Dead and Buried".  The album drops this sp...

Fifty two years ago Michael Lindsay-Hogg produced the largely reviled documentary "Let It Be".  The film became known for it's apparent depiction of the sad,  acrimonious end of the greatest rock and roll band of all time,  The Beatles.  So much was made of that portrayal that it has helped to shape rock and roll folklore and perpetuate falsehoods about the band's break up that...

On Dec. 10, 2021 the Frank Capra holiday classic "It's A Wonderful Life" celebrated it's 75th anniversary.  Like so many, Lisa and I have seen the movie multiple times,  including a nostalgic visit to the theatre a couple years ago to see it how it was meant to be seen (on the big screen).  The movie has fans around the world.  Our guests this week were inspired by this 1946 Ji...
