Join Mike for a drink outside on a Friday night, as he recalls the legendary crime fighting ex-wrestler-turned-cop of Corinth, Mississippi Buford Pusser, and the long-standing rumor that he ran out of town one of Alabama’s longest-serving and most-revered mayors. Is it true or bull-scat? Also, who else is opting out of watching the Olympics in favor of spectating its ugly-but-more-entertaining stepsister, The World Games?

Later, I discuss odd rainbow myths, Thomas Pynchon and Elmore Leonard, and yeah…ughhhh…politics.

Join Mike on his latest mini-vacation, housesitting for his folks and throwing a steak on the grill. Hear about his latest run-afoul with his unfriendly neighborhood crime ring, and Watch some bits n’ pieces of “RoboCop” from ‘87, including the part where Kenny gets eviscerated by ED-209. Also, why is the crime boss Boddicker WAY scarier than that AI killing machine. Is it his glasses?

Later, I review the latest book I’ve been reading — “Fletch” by Gregory Macdonald, and discuss — at length — the fraught reality show, “Project Greenlight”.

Join Mike in the studio late at night, where he mulls over the mental gymnastics of playing violent video games. Does good karma extend to the virtual world also?

In other news, I’m sequestered in my house lately due to (yet another!) car issue; my absurd back-and-forth with a service lady at the dealership; a new “Adults Only” library in Idaho; what the Kevin Bacon movie “White Water Summer” (1987) can teach teachers about teaching; the collatoral tragedy of Sean Young’s firing from Batman, and much more!

Music breaks: “Vampires of South Dakota” by Forget the Whale; “Beyond Belief” by Jon Shumaker

Join Mike in the studio late at night, where he recounts his nightmare adventure of getting his fingerprints taken for a new job, and how the great cyber hack of Birmingham’s City Hall is still going on three months later. It’s a good example of “analog horror” that the kids are all talkin’ about!

Also: what is “analog horror,” and why is it everywhere on the Internet? How it’s evolved from films like Ghost Watch (1992) and The Blair Witch Project (1999) to creepypastas, Slenderman, and whatever the heck “the backrooms” are. I also talk about how we’ve gone in one generation from vehemently not selling out to aspiring to pimp out Hello Fresh and Squarespace. Plus much more, including a quick discussion of “The Quarry” video game.

Music Break: “Nature Boy” by Harpo | “Mornin, Noon and Night” by Daddy Long Legs.
