NPR: The BPP's Twin Radio Show

The BPP's Twin Radio Show

Today during The Most I reported that astronomers are close to discovering Earth's twin. As the article explains, "Momentum is building: Just last week, astronomers announced they had discovered three super-Earths -- worlds more massive than ours but small enough to most likely be rocky -- orbiting a single star."

The truth is, astronomers are pretty far behind. I actually found Earth's twin a few weeks ago. It just took a little snooping around with my telescope. Anyway, I looked into it further and found that on Earth's twin, there's a Bryant Park Project twin. That's right, a show just like ours, but on this other planet. I hooked up a satellite in my apartment in Brooklyn and recorded some of it. Check it out:

I don't know about you, but I can't tell the difference. (Kudos to Matt Martinez for turning this bit up to 11.)

FYI, in the context of the show this wasn't funny. In fact it almost made me want to demote Dan Pashman's status from "Awesome" to just mere "Interesting." He ethos was only partially redeemed by the raw milk story.

Matt Martinez, on the other hand, gets an 'F' for simultaneously overacting and hurting my ears.

This :36 made my day. I get to hear Matt plead for his life all the time, but this was really special.

I thought Matt would be happy to have his brains eaten rather than having to do one more day's duty reading the news.

I want a world map posting key BBP personnel positions. Where are they? When are they coming back? Are they coming back? If not, who's replacing them? Is Ike screaming?
