I’m a big Monkees fan from South Perth, Australia.  Found out about the podcast from FB. Loved it. You guys know your shite! Your podcast was better than any VH1 Behind the Music. Plus I like the flow and people seem very pleasant. Keep up the good work. -Thorpe

ED NOTE: Thanks Mate!!! I would like to visit the Land Down Under one day... That is once the big dingo / baby controversy is finally resolved.

What gives with the economy? Is my McCarty Metro 401(k) safely invested? I shudder to think that I and the other Metro reporters might one day retire and open our nest egg to find ... we were working for nothing! Should we be in gold? -Concerned Metro staffer in GR

ED NOTE: Dear Staff Infection, I understand your concern. However, there is nothing to worry about. I invested all of our money in the market. I bought some Lucky Charms, some nice fruit, lots of band aids, eggs, bacon, bread, and some ammonia for disinfecting the bathroom each time I hurl over the thought of how long I have to run this rag before I can actually retire, unlike my big brother Mike.

Drat, I missed the chat room, again! - Mike

ED NOTE: Egad Mike !?! Try to remember next time.

I will be out of the office on August 19th. -Brad McCarty

ED NOTE: That's interesting... This is a automated reply that I got from an email that I actually sent to Burger King. WHAT'S GOING ON HERE???

Is it Ghadafi, Khadafi, or Gadhafi? -Curious Speller

ED NOTE: Gosh.... 3 in a row. I just call it a sneeze. Cover your blow hole next time. Gesundheit!

OK East Coasters, Now you have Snow and Earthquakes. What have you got to complain about California now? -Happy in LA

ED NOTE: Oh... I don't know.... Maybe a little thing called CARMAGEDDON!!!

Is it true that Brad Savage and the Cockroaches were called “Tilch”?   Where there any other names considered? -Cockroach Fan in NYC

ED NOTE: Yes. The original band carried the name "TILCH" after a street in the neighborhood. It was a bit more metal that what eventually became the Cockroaches. And, sure, while trying to get the new band formed, we experimented with styles and names. We tried an all saxophone band with the name SAX MANIACS. Lake, our Drummer, wanted to name the band STYROFOAM. (He said you can get it down the street in a big truck). Jerry wanted it DOUBLE PROMOTED (let it go already). Needless to say, the Cockroaches came about when Eric and myself decided to open up a dictionary, blindly turn to a page and plop our finger down on a random word and that would be the name. Well, I opened the book, turned the page, Eric plopped the finger, and we didn't want to be called Brad Savage and the Cocks, so we moved down the page a bit.
