I’m so disappointed in this tweet. For years I followed Best Buy on Twitter, relying on the electronics superstore as a moral compass and beacon of propriety. And now this? I couldn’t believe they would be so glib as to make a joke about something thousands of us have been having fun with for months. I’m canceling the extended warranty on our relationship. Best Buy’s crass japery has driven me into the earnest, consoling arms of Fry’s Electronics. I’m just glad Circuit City isn’t alive to see this.

When I moved to Austin and was not yet working I volunteered at the Austin School for the Blind and Visually Impaired. Like Luke and Andrew I saw myself as an esteemed narrator, the next Dick Estell, if you will. While they didn’t rebuff me completely I did have to produce and direct audiobook projects for many months before getting a chance to unleash my golden pipes. One day the “talent” didn’t show and ol’ Clip Clop got behind the mic. Not to brag, but somewhere out there a pissed off blind person is wondering who let a drowning kitten narrate their electronics textbook.

My “government” is Mike Frizzell. Friend me on Facebook where you can’t stop me from posting picuress of guys with really fun holiday beards. Follow me @drewmcfrizz on Twitter. Check out Takedown Podcast‘s FB page where our banner is a lovely and memorable family vacation photo.

Just One More Thing

New York Times columnist David Carr died on Thursday night. The guys did a great job eulogizing him and there's little praise I could add.

Harper “Buddy” Lee: You Can’t Bust Her!

I spent a blog "week off" mourning the Sea-Yuks loss but I was still listening to the show. There are so many issues it feels like time for my first USA Today/Larry King style post.

Touched “a” Verve… or “The” Verve?

On the morning of January 23rd, 2006 my phone rang while I was eating breakfast. I had a sore throat so my "hello" was weak and hoarse.
