The Girlie Show

Clint Girlie talks with Trans-Siberian Orchestra guitarist Al Pitrelli about the origins of TSO and what to expect from their show coming Dec 5, 2025 to Springfield 

Today we discuss which old school names are coming back in 2025, why you should wait for even better Prime Deals than today's and why Spirit Halloween isn't just for, you know, Halloween anymore. PLUS - a bonus 'your mom joke' that I almost forgot. 

Today we talk about how just 5 minutes of cleaning could make you use your hands to make an obscene clappy sound you rely on entirely too much throughout this episode. Also... there's other schtuff. 

Today's show is fine. Just fine. We talk about life saving donations for the heart-attack inducing Chiefs. Plus, what the dockworkers strike means to you, a new diet where you eat in reverse (not puking) and the stupid holiday of the day: Name Your Car Day. Like I said, it's fine. 

Today we let someone else prep the stories with, I'll say it, less than ideal results. But we forge ahead anyway - NSYNC breakup new-old-news PLUS the 20 best American foods and a joke about witches sprinkled in this thing somewhere. Enjoy. 

Today we talk about how much you're ACTUALLY working on a daily basis, plus why setting multiple alarms is bad for you (but is it as bad as being late?) PLUS - special bonus, the Toy Hall of Fame is set to pick their three inductees this year, and we're gonna debate it with the same veracity we would when trying to pick our favorite child or Mexican food spot. Enjoy!

Too much good stuff and so little time. Actuall, I've got all the time in the world - I just chose to blaze through this like Snoop before having to work another 12 hour shift on Season 128 of The Voice. Today, we talk everything from moon-gazing to diversity within our state. It sounds intellectual - I promise you it's not. 

Today we celebrate National Cheeseburger Day by listing all the deals to be had - in alphabetical order and excruciatingly long detail. In fact, the entire episode is just one big ad for Big Cheeseburger. Unpaid. Stupid, right? Kidding – at least, a little. We also talk stress days this year so far, bright pink drinking water and how good coffee actually is for you.

Today we talk 'Hate Following', how arts & crafts will help reduce your belly fat and... idk, some other stuff. Truthfully, I recorded this like 5 hours ago and just now realized I hadn't posted it yet. 

Today's show is dedicated to the American Hero himself - Jon Bon Jovi. (John?) Either way. You'll see why. Plus, Target's new NOT 'mom-approved' shopping carts, when adulthood actually begins AND the jobs that make American's the happiest. (HINT - bake your mail carrier some cookies once in a while)

Like we never left! Back at it again... if for no other reason than to make sure it is FULLY KNOWN, that the Springfield discussed in last night's debate is NOT this Springfield. Also, we talk emergency preparedness, this year's popular Halloween costumes AND your most radical position that isn't political. Good stuff. Glad to be back. 

Today we find out why Australians live longer than us, why you should beware of your Disney+ subscription and why your dream of smelling like the mall is about to come true. 

Today we talk back to school stress, America's favorite hobbies and just how much influence Gen Z's favorite music artists have over their voting habits. 

Today we cover how to be happy. So, ya. Solved it. Easy stuff. Also, how far would you be willing to go to lose weight? And what's the ONE thing you need to make sure you do for your kids going back to school? We solved all those, too. Next up - geopolitics. 

Today’s show we cover the closing ceremonies from the Olympics (briefly, because who cares) and then move on to Disney’s new rides and attractions, the MUST HAVE colors of 2025 and then find out that my lifelong dream of saving lives by stabbing is about to get a lot less violent.

Part 3, and the finale, of Jack London's The Unexpected. 

Part 2 of 3. We continue The Unexpected by Jack London. 

To celebrate the podcast's 100th episode, I'm doing something special: A reading of Jack London's "The Unexpected." Part 1 today. The conclusion in Part 2 coming tomorrow. So sit back, relax and enjoy a great story... by a one of a kind author... read by an idiot. 

For the 99th episode of this shi... show, I've decided to do something different. Specifically, I’m rolling tape on the actual shift that makes it on the air. Now, couple things: 1 - There's no "tape". That's an old guy thing. 2 - you won't be able to hear the music I’m talking out of/into because I couldn't get the thing to work without messing up the broadcast AND, you know, copyright police and...

After a quick USA Basketball update, today we dive into why it is Olympic athletes bite their medals. Plus, some encouraging news (and a new term you should know) concerning vacation days. And, what to do when the entire world rejects your life's work and passion. Hint - turn it into the best prank ever. 

No description today. No tags either. Some things that I needed to say for my own faith had to make their way out and you can listen if you want to or not. That's not a "tease" by the way - as in, a way to entice you to listen. I'm just saying, this one isn't fun or entertaining so listen or don't. All good.

I'm not going to lie to ya... this entire episode is about, and an ode to, the USA Men's Olympic Basketball team. It's the most effort I've put into anything in literally years. 

Today, an update to Celine Dion's performance during the Opening Ceremonies plus the Olympic events that USED to be and should be again. PLUS, remember that Crowdstrike internet crash last week? Well today, we'll discuss their almost as disastrous apology for it as well as define some Gen Z terms "they" (whoever the F they are) say you'll need to know for the election...? Ok then. 

Today we preview the Opening Ceremonies this Friday including a musical guest appearance that'll make you cry. Plus, where Missouri ranks on the list of best states to retire in, a gentle reminder to use your vacation days, and we'll pinpoint the exact date your kids will be at peak boredom this summer. 

Today we try and find the good in AI... and I mean, really try which for me is saying something. We also dig deep on the NSYNC drama and then go all in when it comes to "Influencers". FYI - By "all in" I mean a 10 minute diatribe that leads nowhere. Enjoy!
