Alt-Thanksgiving at Whad’ya Know!

November 22, 2016

untitled-4

 

You know this will be the last Thanksgiving the national turkeys get a presidential pardon.

Let’s not think about that. Or the Hillary/Trump tables at Thanksgiving.

Let’s think about Alt-Thanksgiving at Whad’ya Know at the High Noon in Madison!

So Alt- it’s even on a Saturday–November 26.

So Alt- the only politics brought up will be jokes you very nearly feel comfortable laughing at!

Should the above fail, a world-renowned comic,  Andy Kindler–Mort the Mortician, will break you up!

John & Jeff will play NO HOLIDAY TUNES!

Bloody Mary’s galore to combat any vestiges of holiday depression!

And a chance to win fabulous if useless prizes on the Whad’ya Know quiz! We’re talking finger unicorns here!

Alt-Thanksgiving, Whad’ya Know @ High Noon, 701 E Washington, Madison, Saturday November 26, at noon.

You owe it to yourself.

Packers–Help Near as DePere

November 21, 2016

uniform_1921Packers–Help Right Next Door and it’s Already Green and Gold

 

While it’s generally conceded Coach Mike McCarthy’s 2016 Packers are reduced to playing for much-needed draft picks (the 2005 4-12 Packers were so bad they earned Aaron Rodgers in the draft) should the Pack want to turn things around in the short run, hope may be as near as DePere–and it’s already Green and Gold. I’m speaking, of course, of St. Norbert’s, whose chaste but enthusiastic cheerleaders have long graced Lambeau’s sidelines, and whose Green Knights went  7-1 this past season, once again owning the Midwest Conference. Long a  powerhouse in Division III, the Green Knights have gone an astounding 145-38 since 1999.

The Green Knights head coach, Dan McCarty, 17-2 in his first 2 seasons (after a record-setting run with the Sturgeon Bay HS Clippers), already familiar with the Packers playbook from the St. Norbert’s Packer training camps, could easily be suited up and on the sidelines at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia for Monday night football on November 28th, and, he could bring with him St Norbert’s talented still-in-playing-shape cornerbacks coach DJ Bland, 4 year Eastern Illinois Ohio Valley Conference winning Panther veteran, as both player and mentor to a secondary that could use both.

Precipitous? Perhaps. But, realistically, the only other scenario for a born-again Green Bay Packers, being the only NFL franchise without an owner to make needed heads roll, requires an influenza pandemic of a scope not seen since 1918 to tragically take out the entire board of directors, Ted Thompson on down. Not only is this unlikely, no Packer fan wants to have to resort to disease to make things good again. There is, after all, precedent for a non-epidemic transition of power in Green Bay–the 2005 Packers, mentioned above, not only found new life after Mike Sherman, they did so with a very promising young fellow who worked his way up from a Pennsylvania Turnpike toll booth to the exalted ranks of Packers head coaches, Mike McCarthy.

With St. Norbert’s Dan McCarty, not only do you have a priori a more impressive resume than young McCarthy’s, their very names are so close the Packers would not need to change their stationary.

FAQ Whad’ya Know Podcast and Life in General by Michael Feldman

November 7, 2016

FAQ*

*Feldman Answers Questions

 

  1. What’s a logarithm?

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.

  1. How come I can’t get Whad’ya Know on the FM radio in the barn anymore?

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.

  1. How do I get Whad’ya Know on the Compaq computer in the barn?

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.

  1. Is the podcast a watered-down version of the radio show? What about John, Jeff and Stephanie? Do they have their own podcasts?

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.

  1. What about them Cubs?

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.

  1. What about the quiz?

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.

 

  1. Do they serve booze at the High Noon Saloon?

F: Yes, in lieu of doughnuts and coffee. It’s a trade off.
