The Midnight Citizen 290: “Bully for Kilroy!”
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Join Mike in the studio late at night.
Tonight, a real experimental episode as we cross over into June, and I do my first live show in over 2 years! Of course, you’re downloading it, but still… Witness the drama as I attempt to engineer a livestream while clumsily monologuing about bullies, 90s self-help videos for kids hosted by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Teddy Roosevelt, and memes from World War II featuring Kilroy, the perpetual schlemiel of late 20th century pop culture. You know the drawing — I didn’t until yesterday, but everybody else I talk to seems to.
Later, I drink a toast to Loretta Swit, “Hot Lips” Houlihan on “M*A*S*H”, who died this week at 87… and two more toasts to other recently passed folks George Wendt and Simpsons composer Alf Clausen leaves me a little too flighty to talk about Thomas Pynchon’s first novel V…but I do it anyway.
Also…we’re bringing MUSIC BREAKS back to the show! Tonight, enjoy a back-to-back serving of music by Caühaüs and our favorite band from New Jersey, Forget the Whale!

And…I’m excited to take you back down to the Video Street Video Store, where we’ll check out a double feature of tapes on how to get a date in the 90’s!
