Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!



Jon: I believe that I described to you the specific quality called "TERRIFIC!," yes? I've just found an example in which a picture's worth a thousand words. EVERYTHING about Robert Goulet in this photo is TERRIFIC!

In fact, it's SO incredibly TERRIFIC! that it might even qualify in the category of VERY TERRIFIC! ... dare I say, even possibly EXTREMELY TERRIFIC! (the ultimate level of TERRIFIC!ness).

Irwin: It's SO TERRIFIC, it makes me feel woefully inadequate.

Jon: It's worse than that: you're woefully adequate.

"The Man Within" isn't The Man, that title is now forever reserved for the McDonald's "Success and Then Some" record Rich Squirrel Carcass played a few days ago. “You're the Man!” You're the Man…you're the Man With a purpose and a plan. The truth can answer proudly: “You're the Man!!”

Droll:

I hardly consider the McDonald's record a challenging listen, especially compared to some of the stuff that gets aired here. I thought the McDonald's record was totally pro: songwriting, lyrics, arrangement, session musicians, singers... Where do you find a singer who can fake a Russian accent while singing about "gastric juices"? That album is totally accessible.

Thanks, Irwin. Have a fun week yinz!
