For the folks who listened to the classic moon segments before the live stream of this episode, a recap of what you heard:
Before the show started live, we be re-played portions of two “classic” episodes of Wake Up And Smell The Moon originally heard on WUJC August 8th, 1992 and September 19th 1993. — Complete with the old WUJC breaks, promos and all!
EPISODE 9 Podcast
This time around CG and Don did their part to make the online video of a broken radio station posted by Dustin Hostetler go viral. This hilarious clip is of a radio station with a broken automation system repeating the phrase “Final Reduction” or something over and over. This went on long enough for Dustin to grab his camera and document it for 30 mins. The perfect 4/4 time of the phrase spawned two techno beat versions of the technical malfunction.
The show starts off normal enough, but after a short break where CG features a snippet from a show from over 10 years ago, the crew suddenly remembers their fun natured roots.
The second half of the show trurns into a comical geeky Star Wars series analysis.
The gang talk more about Ed’s RV, and relating to the Robin Williams movie “RV“.
Later in the show, we review the “Dimitri from Toronto” phone recordings. This guy is real smooth at convincing this woman to become his girlfriend. All men should take notes from this guy on the correct way to pick up women!
Finally! The first podcast. This is the first official show of the new era. The guys get together as a group for the first time. In this show, we introduce ourselves to the world, and play catchup after almost 8 years apart.
This episode ends rather abruptly as we didn’t have an effective system to communicate how much time was left in the program! Oops! Hehe….
Here’s the first real online test of the studio. CG and Don got together to ramble on about the show, and to test the acoustics of the new studio. We liked it, had some fun, and shared a few nuggets of insight on the history of the program.
In a couple of days, CG and Ed will get together to do the final test podcast of the linking of his studio in Atlanta, and CG’s studio in Northeast Ohio. Stay tuned for that!
