I think your podcast with Tony has real potential. It would be nice if you could pick the track you wanted to listen to, maybe you can. It gets long if you try to listen to the whole thing. I got through most of parking. Will liste to the rest later. Tony sounds knowledgeable and fun. Will ask you more questions when we talk.
We might be able to do it in individual segments later. I dunno. That’s a lot more work. You should get yourself an Ipod when you get me one, and then you can listen to them while you workout. It’s better not to have to sit there and listen to them. Tony is a pretty smart cookie, though.
Yeah, I liked this podcast a lot too. You guys had fun and didn’t take yourselves too seriously, but you talked about importatn issues, and that’s a difficult balance to strike.
I have nothing but contempt for the Parking Authority, and I’m pretty sure they employ ninjas who fall from the sky to ticket my car, because I never see them and I ALWAYS get ticketed. Well, I always get ticketed in CC, in south Philly, where I live, you can park in the middle of the street or block in all the neighbors, and nobody gives a shit, unless of course, there’s a football game.
Awesome! Thanks a lot! I really think that’s the spirit we’re going for. Thoughtful but fun. Keep an eye on Tony! he’s going to put the Parking People in their place! I think I might break the next ones into tracks. This one was sort of long and I think the Parking Authority piece was the most interesting part and it was in the last half. Oh well… live and learn.
