The Mayors of Seattle

You've heard of them, now you get to meet them: Tim Malloy, the "Mayor of Queen Anne", Jeff Mullen, the "Mayor of Magnolia" and ETM, the "Mayor of Madison Valley".

Taking their show from the "City Hall" (Queen Anne Caffe Ladro) and bringing it into the studio, the self-appointed 'Mayors of Seattle' get together to demonstrate just what a Mayor's Meeting sounds like.

Before they get started, Jeff goes on a Sue Bird riff that is unparalleled. They rip on Snoop Dogg and then they play the Birthday Game, This Date in History and Isaac Asimov's "Super Quiz". The talk, as always, skews towards women and dating.

Edward T reveals that he's come up with a web site that will make him a billionaire, but perhaps not well-respected by many women, and Tim & ETM press Jeff on his love life.

Risky Business

Edward T and Hilary finally just give up talking about 'Avatard' and start talking about taking risks in life - not the gambling/lottery ticket type of risk, but the change-your-life, going-to-a-different-career type of risk.

Turns out (not shockingly) that Hilary is a little risk averse and Edward T simply flies by the seat of his pants, trusting all will turn out just fine. A rather strange contradiction considering ETM is usually Mr. Grumpy. How does this all pan out?

Plus: Edward T's road trip to Montana for his brother's wedding, part of the Family Album.

Director's Cut

Hilary and Edward T set out to do a director's commentary on "Avatar(d)", but as always, wind up completely off-topic.

They are watching the film while recording, and hit the pause button. Things quickly go away from the film as they discuss miscommunication, working at the airport, backhoes & piles of dirt, the Incredible Bulk, and $6000 of hot tub work.

They try to get back on track, but instead they become Siskel & Ebert. They address action movies in general, how "Avatar(d)" is like a porn movie (or a romance novel), suspending disbelief, "The Lord of the Rings", Liv Tyler, perceptions of others & the world as a whole and Richard Gere in "Dr. T and the Women".

This is what Edward T used to do every day: A good example of a jetliner pushback on video.

--TURN THE SOUND DOWN FIRST!--

THERE'S A HUGE BLAST OF NOISE AT THE BEGINNING!

-Notice at :33 seconds how little he's turning the steering wheel of the

pushback vehicle, and then look at how much the plane is turning to the right.

Enjoy!

Finally: An Accurate Review of Avatar

Avatard - Part I

The movie "Avatar" has had Edward T bugged for months! He finds it ridiculous and highly derivative, but most of all, he's bothered by so many people - the general public and the press - calling it an "original piece of art". It's a piece of something, all right, but not art, according to him.

So, ETM and Hilary welcome back John Morgan (Hilary's work husband) and welcome for the first time Hayden McManus, Super-Fan of the podcast to discuss the movie to help explain not only why people like it, but how well it stands up scientifically.

(Part I of II).

Enjoy!

Avatard - Part II

ETM and Hilary welcome back John Morgan (Hilary's work husband) and welcome for the first time Hayden McManus, Super-Fan of the podcast, to discuss the movie "Avatar".

They finish their discussion and - shockingly - go on a tangent about the role of looking good in society. Hilary and Hayden say there's a double standard for girls. Edward T says maybe, but looking good is a part of an over-all approach to being an better human being. Seriously? Find out how!

(Part II of II).
