    Live from another Museum with Georgia on Our Minds

    This week on The Wednesday Night Podcast, we're continue our roadtrip broadcasting from yet another truly unusual museum that you absolutely won't want to miss. Prepare for strange artifacts, questionable exhibits, and probably some echo-y audio.

    To set the mood for our road trip, we're spinning Ray Charles' classic album, The Genius Hits The Road. Get ready for some soulful tunes and iconic American landscapes. But when we hit the legendary track "Georgia on My Mind," things take a turn for the hilariously personal.

    Jill, ever the purveyor of life's most awkward moments, recounts a legendary tale involving Georgia... the dog. Prepare for a story of canine antics, unexpected chaos, and how a furry friend managed to get Jill uninvited to a wedding. Was it a rogue slobber? A misplaced chew toy? A full-blown doggy rebellion? You'll have to tune in to find out!

    So, join us for a museum adventure, a musical journey, and a story that proves sometimes, the best-laid plans (and wedding invitations) go awry, all thanks to a four-legged friend.

    River Runs Through It (and Through Craig's Childhood Home!) 🚣‍♂️🏰

    This week on The Wednesday Night Podcast, we're taking a leisurely (or perhaps not-so-leisurely) cruise down memory lane with The Little River Band's Greatest Hits. Get ready for some smooth rock harmonies, classic 70s/80s vibes, and maybe a sudden urge to wear a denim vest.

    But the real journey begins when Craig recounts his family trip on the legendary River Aa (yes, that's two 'A's, don't ask us why) to the very castle that served as his childhood home! Prepare for tales of questionable navigation, unexpected wildlife encounters, and the inevitable awkward family dynamics that only a confined boat trip can bring. Did they find hidden treasures? Did they accidentally float into a medieval reenactment? Did anyone fall overboard?

    Join us for an episode that's part musical appreciation, part historical (and hysterical) family travelogue. It's a story that proves you can take the boy out of the castle, but you can't take the castle (or the river) out of the boy.

    Synchronicity, Jung, and Your Creepily Coincidental Life! 🤯

    This week on The Wednesday Night Podcast, we're putting on our trench coats and pondering the universe's mysterious winks as we feature The Police's iconic album, Synchronicity. Get ready for some classic new wave, post-punk grooves, thought-provoking lyrics, and a deep dive into the inexplicable connections that make life truly bizarre.

    Inspired by the album's title, Andrew is taking us down a rabbit hole of personal synchronicities that will have you questioning everything you thought you knew about coincidence. Did Carl Jung, the very man who coined the term, share a birthday with Joe? And what about finding yourself unexpectedly in a picture from your own past?! Andrew's got stories that will make the hairs on your arms stand up... or perhaps just make you wonder if he needs a nap.

    Prepare for mind-bending revelations, hilarious "aha!" moments, and enough cosmic coincidences to make you check your own birth chart. Will we uncover the true meaning of synchronicity, or just confirm that Andrew lives a very, very strange life? Tune in for the answers to these questions and many more, on an episode that's truly... meant to be!

    Close Encounters of the Absurd Kind! (And Joe's Alien Adventures)

    This week on The Wednesday Night Podcast, we're setting our sights on the stars as we feature the iconic soundtrack to Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Get ready for some classic John Williams orchestral swells, chilling alien communication, and maybe a sudden urge to sculpt mashed potatoes.

    But forget the government cover-ups, because the real mystery begins when Joe takes the mic! Inspired by the film's otherworldly vibes, Joe dives deep into his own, shall we say, highly questionable alien encounters. Did he see a UFO? Was it just a really bright drone? Did he accidentally wander into a highly organized backyard barbeque? The lines between reality and... other-reality blur quicker than a spaceship doing warp speed.

    Prepare for speculative theories, wild anecdotes, and enough chaos to make even the most seasoned Ufologist question everything. Will we finally get to the bottom of Joe's extraterrestrial experiences? Or will he just leave us with more questions than answers (and possibly a craving for Reese's Pieces)? Tune in to find out!

    When the Levee Breaks (and Your Car Catches Fire)

    This week on The Wednesday Night Podcast, we're cranking up the volume and diving into rock 'n' roll legend with Led Zeppelin's iconic debut album, Led Zeppelin. We'll be dissecting its raw power, groundbreaking sound, and of course, that instantly recognizable album cover featuring the Hindenburg disaster. (Spoiler alert: things go up in flames.)

    And speaking of things going up in flames, that infamous zeppelin somehow sparks a discussion about car fires. Now, you might think they're rare, like spotting a unicorn at a drive-thru, but oh no. Chris, ever the purveyor of uncomfortable truths, comes armed with "evidence" to the contrary. Prepare for statistics you never asked for, alarming anecdotes, and a general sense of unease about your daily commute.

    So, buckle up, plug in, and join us for a journey from the fiery heights of rock history to the surprisingly frequent (according to Chris) phenomenon of spontaneous automobile combustion. It's an episode that might make you think twice about that next road trip.

    Tiny Human, Giant Questions!

    Hold onto your hats, folks! This week, the Wednesday Night Podcast has gone full-on diaper duty! Our very own Andrew has officially welcomed a tiny human grandchild into the world! Congratulations, Andrew... now get ready for approximately eighteen years of Andrew taking more pictures than ever!

    Fresh off the miracle of life, Andrew's brain has apparently entered a new dimension of grandparental logic. This week, he poses the deeply scientific question: Can the gender of his newborn be predicted by listening to Stevie Wonder's seminal album, Songs in the Key of Life?

    Yes, you read that right. We delve into the intricate and highly accurate methodology of interpreting musical cues for chromosomal determination. Does "Sir Duke" point to a boy? Is "Isn't She Lovely" a dead giveaway? Prepare for a hilarious descent into musical pseudo-science as the rest of us try to gently (and not-so-gently) steer Andrew back to reality.

    Expect tangents galore, increasingly bewildered reactions from the usual crew, and possibly a spirited debate on the merits of "I Wish" as a reliable gender oracle.

  • Steppenwolf Steppenwolf

    This week on the Wednesday Night Podcast, things get WILD. Our very own Joe, bless his heart, dives headfirst into the fascinating (and apparently adorable, according to him) world of Dire Wolves. Yes, those prehistoric behemoths that could probably swallow your chihuahua whole.

    But wait, there's more! Joe's research was conducted entirely while grooving to the iconic sounds of... you guessed it... Steppenwolf! We're not sure if "Born to Be Wild" inspired his fascination or just drowned out any sense of impending doom, but here we are.

    The rest of the gang, however, are having absolutely none of it. They spend a good chunk of the episode mercilessly mocking Joe's insistence on the "cute" factor of a creature with teeth the size of bananas. The conversation devolves into a hilarious debate about the plausibility (and sheer terror) of Jurassic Park-style consequences, with Joe firmly planted in the "nah, they'd be chill" camp.

    So tune in for tales of ancient predators, questionable musical pairings, and the comedic stylings of a man who clearly hasn't seen enough dinosaur movies. You might learn something, you'll definitely laugh, and you'll probably want to hide your small pets.

    Wednesday Night Podcast: Where the only thing scarier than a Dire Wolf is Joe's optimism.

    Strange Magic, Sad Illusions: An ELO-rical Letdown

    This week on The Wednesday Night Podcast, we're tuning into the cosmic sounds of Electric Light Orchestra's "Face The Music," with a special spotlight on the wonderfully weird "Strange Magic." Prepare for soaring strings, Jeff Lynne's unmistakable vocals, and a generous serving of 1970s prog-pop goodness.

    But hold on to your laser beams, because things are about to get… decidedly less magical. Inspired by the mystical vibes of ELO, Craig recounts his utterly underwhelming experience at a David Copperfield magic show in the dazzling (and apparently illusion-challenged) city of Las Vegas.

    Prepare for tales of vanishing acts that didn't quite vanish, levitation that looked suspiciously like wires, and the crushing realization that maybe, just maybe, some "strange magic" is just… not that strange. Did Craig witness a true illusionist, or just a man with a fog machine and a questionable haircut?

    So, dim the lights, put on your headphones, and join us for a journey from the symphonic heights of ELO to the disappointing depths of Vegas stage magic. It's a show that will leave you wondering if the real magic is just the ability to get through a mediocre performance.
