This morning our little radio show went 82 flavors of "WHERE'S THE RIGHT PIECE OF TAPE!?!?"
(Careful listeners will notice a glitch as the segment begins. Everyone will notice by the end.)

So let me preface this by saying that I am likely one of the BPP's BIGGEST fans- I really do plan my morning commute AROUND the BPP show schedule on Sirius. Further, as a news producer myself, I can COMPLETELY appreciate the UTTER PANIC felt universally during the chaos that was "The Most" segment. But all of that said ... (and I'm not usually a complainer either) I simply HAD to bring light to one of America's biggest pet peeves that was broadcast INTERNATIONALLY this morning:
Now let me say, that with the ever-changing male voices on the BPP as of late, I can't say for sure who committed this utmost social faux-pas ....
BUT WHAT HUMAN BEING WITH EVEN A MICROSCOPIC AMOUNT OF SOCIAL EXPOSURE WOULD SO ZEALOUSLY DEFINE THE ENTIRE ENDING (SEE, "LAST SCENE; FINAL SCENE; FIFTEEN MINUTE VERY MOVING SCENE") OF A MOVIE THAT LIKELY MANY PEOPLE HAVE NOT YET SEEN???????
I MEAN, COME ON --- WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, MAN???
I can't even describe with enough capital letters how uncool that was.
Thanks a lot.
Are you serious? The movie is a year old! How long do we have to wait to talk about it? If you wanted to see it that badly, I think you would have already. If that's America's biggest pet peeve then most Americans are NOT paying attention - there are more important matters to be pissed about.
And it was very relevant to the story. I thought it was a nice life imitating art connection. I love the way you guys relate news topics to entertainment and cultural items. Keep up the great work!
Come to think of it, what IS the theme for The Most? It sounds very much like Neu!, but it's not one of theirs that I can immediately identify.
Personally, I thought Dan only added to his sheer awesomeness by describing, in utter gripping detail, the end of "Children of Men." His rundown of the narrative was so good it made me want to see the movie again.
