FAQ Whad’ya Know Podcast and Life in General by Michael Feldman
FAQ*
*Feldman Answers Questions
F: Logarithm is the term marking the point of time when you no longer get math.
Too bad, too, because today it’s a term for becoming a billionaire by the time you’re 22.
F: The cows may have nosed the dial into classical because they produce more on Mozart, but that would be the easy answer.
Whad’ya Know, formerly available on analog wave easily accessible to barn radio, is now circling around the gaping yaw of a black hole know as podcasting, a world which, while having a nice (if blurred) view of the event horizon, is only attainable on digital devices. You know all those kids walking around with white plugs in their ears? Podcasts. Or 24K. Mention ‘podcasts’ to someone and they will not hear you because they’re listening to one. It’s quite the craze now like hula hoops & flying saucers.
F: You may have to upgrade to an Apple II (if they’re still in business) or get one of them smart phones. You’re probably going to need Internet, too, check for local availability. Once you’ve jumped those hurdles, the world is your cup of meat.
You can find the Whad’ya Know Podcast on iTunes, Stitcher and Google Play, should you be android. As they say these days, there’s an app for it, so you’ll be good to go.
F: Andy Warhol would have said, today, that everyone’s entitled to a 15 minute podcast. But let me reassure, or assure you (if it’s for the first time) that the jazz piano stylings of John Thulin, the rock-solid yet ethereal bass of Jeff Hamann, and the most definitely of Stephanie Lee are there in all their glory, available for convenient free delivery directly to your head, without the unnecessary and costly if you add all the pledging up so-called public radio middleman. I’m on it, too, in case you’re wondering.
F: Totally, at least until 3 of them did the male strippers for dead grandma routine on SNL. Now I think it wasn’t worth it.
F: Mais oui, as we say in Frenglish. Listen, you know a guy who can’t go 3 science questions without slipping in Uranus is not going to forego the opportunity. Prizes are equal to or better than ever, like the Archie McPhee Handicorn, the Unicorn that gallops on your fingers (pictured).
Now, here’s where it gets tricky, to play the quiz you either have to be there at the High Noon Saloon, 701 E Washington Ave, Madison on November 12, 26, December 3, 17 (holiday party, bring a dish to pass) all shows begin at noon, Central, OR call-in while watching the unexpurgated you tube live video at http://www.youtube/user/WhadYaTube http://www.youtube/user/WhadYaTube those same Saturdays at the same time (for the full recreated classic Whad’ya Know broadcast effect). The number to call is: (608) 250-3222 or (608) AL-03-BAA.
Don’t give a shake of a lamb’s tail about being on the quiz– easy-peasey podcast.
F: Yes, in lieu of doughnuts and coffee. It’s a trade off.
Astonishingly, both TC Boyle and Mort (aka Andy Kindler) from Bob’s Burgers said the exact same thing about the creative process. Come share the wisdom of both on Whad’ya Know at the High Noon, at noon, on Saturday, November 12–tickets here:
http://www.high-noon.com/upcoming/ or at the door.
C’mon, you’re going to need some wisdom and a Bloody Mary after this election–see you there!

MF: Which Potosi you got there?
MF: Forget your readers? It’s a Gandy Dancer. Thought I’d try it. Usually get the Cave Ale. As you know.
MF: Hard asking questions when you know the answers, although I was a Quiz Master for many years.
MF: Let’s not go there again. Nothing in the want ads under Master, Quiz. Got it. Heard it.
MF: Now you know how I feel. Why do people say that? Why would we care what they feel? We were talking about me. About how I feel.
MF: I hear you. And the beer?
MF: Medium-bodied with chocolate and caramel notes, I’d have to say.
MF: Medium on the hop bitterness?
MF: Yeah, good place to set it.
MF: I didn’t actually hit any of those flavor notes. Right on the label here. If you read it enough times you begin to taste chocolate and caramel, I swear.
MF: Or you could have a little chocolate and caramel and slam down a beer right after.
MF: Have to say I have never gotten one single nuance from a bag of coffee, a bottle of wine or a beer. I am nuance challenged.
MF: Hah! I know–I want chocolate, I buy chocolate. I want beer, I buy beer.
MF: Should be on the Feldman shield.
MF: Think we’ll stick with Just This Far Apart; served the Feldmans for many generations now, although the Latin, hoc longe, is disappointing.
MF: Now, I know you’re not retired, you’re doing stuff, and some of it is out in the open where people can see that you’re keeping pretty busy.
MF: Thank you, yes, well, doing a little podcasting, a little gardening, thinking of buying an easel, some pastels, a decent brush, maybe resell them for half what they cost me on E-bay.
MF: Right, life after a certain age: E-Bay & the Weather Channel.
MF: Everything you had or didn’t have in your life is on E-Bay. And all the weather you could want on TWC.
MF: Would like to get into the winter storm naming racket. I think Winter Storm Moishe would be a hit among the weather faithful of a certain hue.
MF: Doing any writing?
MF: Un peu. I write for myself.
MF: I’ve read it. Some of it could be for someone else.
MF: I am working on a cookbook for those with cooking phobias: Fear of Frying.
MF: I’d read it. Do you enjoy cooking?
MF: You know I’m going to say, no, I enjoy eating.
MF: Let me rephrase the question, do you cook?
MF: Do I eat?
MF: Home repair. Used to do a lot of things around the house, no? Almost to the point of carpenting.
MF: I’m repenting from carpenting. The deck I built is returning to its constituent elements, grade B- cedar and creosote. Smells like the La Brea tar pits out there, afraid the dog is going to fall in–plus, I can’t grill–if a fire starts it won’t go out.
MF: Well, I can see you’re anxious to get back to all you do. Is there an answer you have to a question I neglected to ask?
MF: Oh, I guess I could have one more.
