Tonight we were all ready to lens our long-awaited remake of the classic 1922 Eskimo documentary, "Nanook of the North".  But instead...  Well, actually, there is no "instead".  We did that.  The movie got shot.  (Sort of.)  Nanook lives again in 2009!!!  But not directed by me, is all.  Who did what again??  What's all this??  Download the archive version of the show, and hear it all for yourself.  You won't believe your ears.

As for me, I'll have to settle for being the star of the new "Nanook" film (titled, like tonight's episode, "Nanook of the North Belt Highway").  So download that show, and listen to it lots.  Then, be sure to check out the documentary when it gets to a theater near you.  (Even if it is only a theater of the mind.)  I'm not bitter.  Well, bitter cold, maybe.  All this fake snow is starting to take its toll...

You may've heard of him - he prowls the dark back alleys of St. Joseph cooking up the best burgers anyone's ever had.  Once you've had one, no other burger will ever do!  You can't find him - he finds you.  We had to learn that the hard way tonight...

But, I'm getting ahead of myself, aren't I?  When a cop, a reporter, and a zookeeper team up with a common goal, things don't always go easily.  Sometimes a common love of charcoal-cooked meat and an obsession to get more of said meat isn't enough in life. 

Our struggle is your gain, good reader.  Download the show at the iTunes Music Store podcast section, and see what all the fuss is about...

Yes, it's true that we managed to do a show anyway, but only thanks to the fact that there happens to be a working computer here in the ditch we landed in.  We were able to log into the BTR site, and do our show.  But since our cell phones were tied up with doing the show, we couldn't call for help!  And now our phones are either lost, can't get reception, or have run out of battery power.  (It is a night of overused plot contrivances, after all!)  And to top it all off, I, Jim the Radio Guy, had amnesia for a spell!  (What did I just say about plot contrivances?)

What a pickle!  It's late at night, it's wet out, there's traffic zooming by mercilessly, and we're stuck in a ditch!!  John the Radio Gross, or anyone else who may be reading, please - PLEASE! - come to our ever lovin' rescue!!

In the meantime, we'll see you on Facebook, MySpace, and here at BTR.  Don't lose your Wonder, people!  And subscribe to the weekly show through the iTunes Music Store.

Yes, it's true that we managed to do a show anyway, but only thanks to the fact that there happens to be a working computer here in the ditch we landed in.  We were able to log into the BTR site, and do our show.  But since our cell phones were tied up with doing the show, we couldn't call for help!  And now our phones are either lost, can't get reception, or have run out of battery power.  (It is a night of overused plot contrivances, after all!)  And to top it all off, I, Jim the Radio Guy, had amnesia for a spell!  (What did I just say about plot contrivances?)

What a pickle!  It's late at night, it's wet out, there's traffic zooming by mercilessly, and we're stuck in a ditch!!  John the Radio Gross, or anyone else who may be reading, please - PLEASE! - come to our ever lovin' rescue!!

In the meantime, we'll see you on Facebook, MySpace, and here at BTR.  Don't lose your Wonder, people!  And subscribe to the weekly show through the iTunes Music Store. 

Oh, what am I doing?  I can only fain normalcy so long - WE'RE TRAPPED IN A DITCH, AND ARE GOING TO DIE!!

CAESAR

19   I hear a tongue, shriller than all the music,
20   Cry 'Caesar!' Speak; Caesar is turn'd to hear.

Soothsayer
21   Beware the ides of March.

CAESAR
22   What man is that?

BRUTUS
23   A soothsayer bids you beware the ides of March.

CAESAR
24   Set him before me; let me see his face.

CASSIUS
25   Fellow, come from the throng; look upon Caesar.

CAESAR
26   What say'st thou to me now? speak once again.

Soothsayer
27   Beware the ides of March.

CAESAR
28   He is a dreamer; let us leave him: pass.

Sennet. Exeunt all except BRUTUS and CASSIUS

Hah!  It may be no "Watchmen", but it's all I've got for you this time.  So ponder THAT over your next can of aerosol cheese, pencil necks!

Thanks for listening.

What?  You haven't heard the show yet?!?  Well then, SPOILER ALERT!!  Spoiler alert!

Mike dies!

Just kidding.  No one dies, but Mike does take on the mantle of Mall Cop for St. Joseph's biggest mall.  And he does it for the most altruistic of reasons - he's doing research for a movie role!  That's right, no one knows how to dig into real life research like Mike the Radio Guru.  Er, make that, MIKE THE RADIO MALL COP!  (You gotta read it in a deep echoy voice for maximum effect.)  He's a regular Robert DeNiro, doncha know.  (1970s era DeNiro, not the "Analyze This" warmed over 1990s DeNiro.)

So anyway, yeah.  Mike is a mall cop, and John and I are walking the beat right there with him.  And who should show up but our old friend and former fast food pitchman, Mick Moonhead!  And not to ruin anything, but his take on Hugh Jackman's Oscar song medley is not to be missed.

So check out the show, and let us know what you think.  If you like it, there could be MORE mall cop action in future Wonder Shows!  No promises or anything, though.  These great ideas don't grow on trees...

We were greeted with the knowledge of a technical difficulty of some sort.  Apparently, Blog Talk Radio put The Wonder Show on an hour earlier than it was supposed to be on, which resulted in an hour of dead air preceding the show proper.  Then the show proper was plagued with, well, the plague!  Or whatever was ailing Mike the Radio Guru.  He saw fit to bail out at the halfway point, leaving only John and I to fend for ourselves.  But it wasn't long before another wacky occurrence occurred...!

WE GOT A LIVE CALLER.  That's right, someone thought it was a good idea to call in to our show.  I can't claim this person was entirely sober, or even 100% sane, but there he was nonetheless.  John and I decided to keep this caller with us for as long as he would stay on the line, in hopes of either exhausting our One True Fan, or allowing him to pick up Mike the Radio Guru's slack.  It wound up being more of the latter, as we just couldn't shake this fella!  And more power to him.

You can hear it all on our Blog Talk Radio site, or you can download the podcast for free at iTunes Music Store, under "Podcasts".  Hopefully that hour of dead air will be eliminated from the archived version.  If not, fast forward - you can do it!  You have to hear this episode to believe it. 

Happy Oscar weekend, everyone!  May your best dog win!
