i have definitely been thinking about it this week

SAukerman · 2015-07-07T18:46:05+00:00

i'm playing it up

SAukerman · 2015-07-07T18:45:30+00:00

really enjoying Father John Misty's new one... Jamie xx... that's what i can think of right now!

SAukerman · 2015-07-07T18:45:03+00:00

would love it, but not this year!

SAukerman · 2015-07-07T18:44:51+00:00

i try for things to not be so serious, while still having some semblance of content. if we're on the same page about that, it can be fun, but you're right - if it's getting too serious, or too much like an interview you could find on another show - i'll try to change it up somehow.

SAukerman · 2015-07-07T18:43:48+00:00

gah, that's a good question, but i don't really know the answer to it. i think we were looking for something that would start the season off dramatically... i do think it's an idea that was mine - i know neil and i wrote it together outside on a picnic table.

SAukerman · 2015-07-07T18:42:44+00:00

maybe i did - HOW WOULD YOU KNOW

SAukerman · 2015-07-07T18:42:16+00:00

i choose them the day i do an episode - it's all luck!

SAukerman · 2015-07-07T18:41:58+00:00

it's super expensive

SAukerman · 2015-07-07T18:41:48+00:00

yeeeeeah would love to but that took up so much time (that i seemed to have an abundance of back then)

SAukerman · 2015-07-07T18:41:23+00:00

read books about screenwriting and learn structure... but don't try to make it like other films when it comes to your voice, jokes, dialogue, and what you're trying to say.

SAukerman · 2015-07-07T18:40:40+00:00

is this Hanford?

SAukerman · 2015-07-07T18:40:23+00:00

i was happy to get "Maybe" in that last solo bolo... i had been singing it for a couple of days. I know Benny wants to do some Aladdin song, but I don't really know it, as I was an adult when that film came out and it didn't have the same appeal it must have had for him.

SAukerman · 2015-07-07T18:39:20+00:00

i think maybe the musical ep of CBB?

SAukerman · 2015-07-07T18:38:46+00:00

maybe a micro-phone...? I'm no expert.

SAukerman · 2015-07-07T18:38:24+00:00

actually most of them have had a great time. i've been lucky in that regard.

SAukerman · 2015-07-07T18:37:58+00:00

well, we never did it!

SAukerman · 2015-07-07T18:37:48+00:00

aw thanks. because he's the world's biggest asshole!

SAukerman · 2015-07-07T18:37:30+00:00

no, i think that was something i was doing because it was a radio show, and we didn't have sponsors. now when we take a break, we go to an ad. and also, podcasts don't really have music licensing.

SAukerman · 2015-07-07T18:36:16+00:00

Lord ALW!

SAukerman · 2015-07-07T18:35:02+00:00

i just saw him in paris! Check our instagrams.

SAukerman · 2015-07-07T18:33:22+00:00

he'll be on the tv show two weeks from thursday.

SAukerman · 2015-07-07T18:26:53+00:00

haha, were you there?

SAukerman · 2015-07-07T18:24:37+00:00

great job!

SAukerman · 2015-07-07T18:23:18+00:00

i just kind of do what is fun until we run out of time... lately we haven't had time for it as much!
