I had to do my half of the podcast on the road this week as I was in London pursuing a business opportunity that involved combining music with…golf. Yes, golf. But I can be done. If I can win the business, I hope to change the image of golf forever. Or so I dream.
So sitting in a high-backed armchair in my charming little hotel near Lancaster Gate Tube station, Michael and I discussed the following.
- Google may have ruined much of our sense of wonder, but it still can’t solve this mystery. Does anyone know the name of this song?
- How Mike Myers came up with the Austin Powers theme. (Hint: It has to do with a Canadian game show. And it was also the basis for this song.)
- Carly Simon spills the beans after 43 years.
- Ask Alan Anything: The employment requirement to be in Jon Bon Jovi’s band.
- The death of Rdio.
- Remember when wrestlers released albums?
- And remember when Hulk Hogan auditioned to be the bass player in Metallica? Seriously.
- We have a winner of the Philips Beard Trimmer 9000. It comes with FRICKIN’ LASERS!
- We have a new co-producer in the form of Derek French.
- Weaponizing Katy Perry.
