Episode 419: Crime Sluts with Dan O’Sullivan

[the perp said there were no ads on this episode…but pull this trick book here in the library and see what happens]

They call it AuGuest…but they should be calling it “Aw yeah! This month is “Au” – the periodic symbol for the element gold, that is. Because the guests, the Kickstarters, the production, and hey even the hosts themselves…they’re as good as gold! But unlike gold, you won’t find something this glittery – although not everything that glitters is it – in the ground, but rather in the digital files of my very device, which is itself “grounded”, but when I listen I feel as high as a kite! And the kite, of course, my dear friends, is as golden as the podcast itself, and the wonderful friends I’ve made listening to it – that’s right, I’m talking about you.” But that wouldn’t fit on a t-shirt, so they don’t.

Check out Dan’s brand new podcast, The Outfit, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or on YouTube. And follow Dan on BlueSky for the latest on this guy’s crazy life.

DB I have also ate spaghetti in a low rent movie theatre (but I didn’t buy it there I brought it from home). It’s an experience that really sticks with you

Does bubba gump still have the red and green table placards that say "run Forrest run"/"stop Forrest stop" to get your servers attention? Ate at one in Charleston in 2004 when I moved there and it had to be on of the first ones and it sucked ass even then

Jesse claiming to be a bball sharpshooter. Don’t think we’ve forgotten about being taunted by an elderly woman on the hardwood. “You can have that shot all day.”

I used to work at University of Houston and Tillman Fertitta is/was on the Board. He came to campus once via helicopter, which he landed right in front of the administration building. I thought he lived in the city so unclear where he flew the chopper from, or why. Later he signed copies of his book in the student bookstore. Anyway, fuck that guy.

JF, if you’re waiting for the Forrest Gump sequel I suggest you tide yourself over by listening to the 372 Pages We’ll Never Get Back reading of Gump & Co., the sequel novel written by the guy who wrote the novel the movie is based on but written after the movie came out so he gets his digs in on Tom Hanks and Hollyweird in general because he was extremely aggrieved for some reason

The novel actually has Forrest Gump punching out Tom Hanks

I too went to a Bubba Gump Shrimp restaurant years ago and what I found most shocking was the lack of a comical amount of shrimp offerings on the menu. There were like 4 shrimp items on the menu, none of which were outlandish in the least. Sad!
