The Dork Forest

TDF EP 132 – J Elvis Weinstein Aug 07, 2012

Show notes

(of Freaks and Geeks and MST3K) discusses how he has to use CONSTANT VIGILENCE against being consumed by any dorkdom. So he goes from tree to tree, in the dork forest, looking for the perfect balance of joy before obsession. There’s a part of me that wants to encourage him to lose control. He cooks, he reads, he’s in a band, collects musical instruments, he’s making a documentary. It’s fascinating. Enjoy. Donation Button, if you wish is on Review the show on Feel free to e me. NOTES: ConJ.E.W.'s Roasted Chicken: 1. Preheat oven to 375º 2. Wash and dry a 4 lb chicken - place on a roasting rack in a shallow pan 3. Salt the cavity then stuff it with 1/2 an onion and 1/2 bulb of fennel (slice each half into a few pieces before stuffing)- a few crushed cloves of garlic are nice too (don't pack it too tight). You can throw the balance of the onion and fennel into the pan to help flavor the basting liquid 4. Season the exterior to your taste - I usually use salt, pepper, garlic powder, and some crushed rosemary. 5. Spray or lightly coat the whole bird with olive oil. 6. Cook for 60-75 minutes (until leg is loose in the socket), baste after 40 and 50 minutes 7. Let roasted bird sit for 15 minutes before carving – Website LOUD!

is a true crime dork. More than that… she’s a true crime… expert. She has a website full of investigation, speculation and information. It’s great. And… much like her , we learn that there are a lot of killers I’ve never heard of, and I keep clarifying things that EVERYONE apparently knows already. This was recorded June 21st, 2012 so Sandusky is discussed. It’s a great one. Fire it up. Donation Button, if you wish is on Review the show on iTunesFeel free to e me.

TDF EP 127 – Dylan Brody Jul 17, 2012

Show notes

I’ve known for … ever. He’s a wonderful man and I get a bit snarky with him. He’s a storyteller and comic and writer and I am SO not the hero of this show. This is the last episode I taped before I took a hiatus. So I regret the lack of total support I show for Dylan on this show… but it’s got the draw of hearing me as a dorky jackass. He’s great. See him later this month. Donation Button, if you wish is on Review the show on iTunesFeel free to e me.

has been doing stand up forever. Like Me. But he’s got to work, extensively, with fancy people… George Carlin, Joan Rivers, Rodney Dangerfield to name a FEW! And… fascinated by Hitler.
