Welcome to episode 25 - show notes are going to be quick and dirty today -  I'm a bit under the weather.  This episode, listener Steve Wright and I talk about the movie Legend.  I also talk iPhones, Blender peoples and Cool Whip.

Also - as a correction to last week's podcast - Bryan who gave me the great advice on the turkey is not the Bryan from Food Geeking, but rather is a fellow cast member in.  Metamor City Sorry about that!

There is no voice mail section this week due to small technical difficulties.  I will fix that, and may do a special edition sometime in the next two weeks which will have the voice mail I've received since episode 24.

In this episode, MA talks turkey, birthday cakes, cell phones, Pokemon, and does a media review with returning guest Diane Severson.  This show we discuss one of the classic teen films from the 80's - Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and how it made us feel like teens again, longing for those stylin' clothes from the 80's.  Or not.

And because I forgot - the Ferris Bueller episode of 'Hey Wanna Watch a Movie'

That's it for this episode.  Next time - hear about my on going search for a cell phone - since recording this episode, I've seen the new update for the iPhone, and certain other gadgets of mine have given up the ghost, so the iPhone may not be off the table.  And yes, there will be some anime discussion coming soon, I promise!  If you want to weigh in on the episode, or just say hi - you can send me an e-mail at mainthepa at gmail.com, leave a comment here, or send me a voicemail at (206)338-3941.

Be good everyone, and I'll talk to you in two.

MA

P.S.  and thanks to Dan for the picture that was posted from this episode.  yes - I was playing Pokemon and battling Doug Rapson over the internet when it was taken!
