This was fairly impromptu, but Frank Nora, the Babe Ruth of Podcasting, was at the NAVA (North Atlantic Videogame Aficionados) meetup at the Digital Press Video Game store in Clifton, NJ, this past weekend, as was Greg. So we did a short interview. Frank you may remember was our guest on Episode 90 of the Paunch Show almost 3 years ago.

We talked about:

• small US states,
• the oldest living celebrity who recently died (Mitch Miller),
• the Gabor sisters,
• Frank’s tickets to Pee Wee on Broadway,
• theatrical plays shown on closed circuit movie screens,
• Journal Square in Jersey City, NJ,
• Belleville Turnpike backroad through a marsh,
• collecting classicvideo games,
• Need for Speed World free MMO racing game.

Listen to this episode:
Episode 1557 of the Frank Nora Show on The Overnightscape Underground
(Greg appears at the 23 minute mark).

The one, the only, Sir Sean Connery. Don’t worry, we paid him $1 million dollars!

This is what Connery had to say….

“I’m swimming every day and I’m even trying to get the golf swing working again – but that might take a little bit longer.

“During the summer, I wasn’t in pain but I wasn’t feeling great. I came to the Edinburgh Film Festival in June then, when I left for the south of France, I realized I’d lost a little bit of weight and needed to change my regime. I’ve done that and the last few days have been pretty special with the family here.

“We’ve eaten non-stop and it has been a great celebration.”

Other birthdays today include THE Regis Philbin, Gene Simmons, Elvis Costello, Tim Burton, and Billy Ray Cyrus.

Cheri Oteri and Mark Linn-Baker (Cousin Larry Appleton from Perfect Strangers) have their own new web show, Liza Life Coach:

It’s pretty good so far and I’m curious to see where they go with it. Here’s the first full episode…Mark’s character Joe experiences the Paunch bad luck!

I’m a huge fan of the National Lampoon’s Vacation movies. Out of the blue, Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo returned to their roles as Clark and Ellen Griswold. They even brought out a brand new Family Truckster!

The commercial appeared during the Super Bowl, but turns out homeaway.com filmed a full short film (14 minutes)! It’s pretty funny.

There’s also a behind the scenes video of YouTube here.

A pretty bad year for Tiger Woods, but more than qualified to win The Paunch Stevenson Show Lame Idiot of 2009 Award!

Apparently Tiger’s had more blond girls than Bond girls had by Sean Connery, Roger Moore, and Pierce Brosnan put together. Allegedly he got drunk, and beat up by his wife, with a golf club, crashed his car into a tree in front of his own house, and lied on the ground bleeding, giggling, and sleeping? Not to mention steroid allegations? Tiger is a tabloid’s best friend.

(discussed in episodes 92, 137, and 146)

Sammy Sosa…

• Said he didn’t take steroids. He did.
• Said he couldn’t speak English when asked questions by Congress. He can.
• Said the corked illegal bat wasn’t his. It was.
• Now says he turned white because of a skin rejuvenation treatment????

Good Grief.

Finally, a role for “The Dush,” Eliza Dushku, that all should be proud of her for. She beat up Jimmy Fallon on Late Night!

This still makes me laugh:

Regis Philbin is on overload lately. First, he appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman, dressed as Shrek. Next, there was news that ABC will bring back Who Wants to be a Millionaire this August for a two week run.
