Oh, Whoa are we....!!!!

I wanted to express my complete and total loss at the lack of a show today. You see, when a group of people produce and put on one of THE BEST PODCASTS in history. One that is as informative, educational, and entertaining as BOL, it hits a nerve with the psyche of the international public. Listening to BOL is WAAAY more than a routine. This program is SO GOOD, SO ADDICTIVE, it has become the equivalent of DIGITAL CRACK. And trust me, MILLIONS of us are addicted. We cannot get enough. And you cannot mess with our schedules. You can't just, NOT HAVE A SHOW on a weekday. The withdrawals have started. Then, it gets worse. People are generally grumpy because they did not get their BOL fix. This leads to poor people skills at the office, and being generally disagreeable. This comes to the attention of the Boss, who thinks you must have a lot going on personally, and sends you home to decompress. You get angry, because you can't listen to BOL on the way home, because their is NO SHOW for the day. You get home, and after about 30 minutes of stewing, you SNAP. Into an uncontrollable rage, breaking everything in the house. You then run out into the streets, where other victims of BOLWS (Buzz Out Loud Withdrawal Syndrome) have already broken out into a state of mass hysteria and general anarchy. Cars are overturned and lit on fire, buildings ransacked. The economy collapses, creating a worldwide chaos. Countries begin fortifying their borders against the masses, and the military goes onto full alert. The heightened state of tension results in Nuclear War, virtually wiping out Civilization as we know it. That is why you can't skip an episode in the BOL saga. All of you, Tom, Molly & Veronica, are responsible for maintaining the delicate balance of the entire planet. So give us our BOL podcast. ..... Or, maybe just, you know, Have a nice day off.

Digital Crack!!
Mar 16, 2006 4:00AM PST

Sadly, that's not far from the truth. There's only one podcast to which I'll listen without hesitation -- and that's Buzz Out Loud. There are other podcasts I download and listen most of the time, but BOL gets a listen every time.

I drive an hour each way to work, and BOL saves my sanity.

So pass the (digital) spoon and lighter. It's time for the five o'clock free crack giveaway.

Mass hysteria!
Mar 16, 2006 5:55AM PST

I think you forgot "Dogs and cats living together...mass hysteria!"

It totally turned into Lord of the Flies here in L.A. without BOL. I'm anxiously awaiting order to return so we can turn the lights back on and emerge from our bunkers.

The closest thing to an antidote would be TWIT. And it is a distant second...
