Gordcast

It's back to the usual format when Paul Bertolino joins Gordie from New York, to talk about fallen heroes and soon to be fallen heroes.

Paul sees The New York Dolls, Hanoi Rocks' Michael Monroe and sings in the streets with the homeless. Gordie runs into a Sasquatch in Portland, gets stuck in Utah and has zero tolerance for uninformed Christian fanatics.

They both mourn Ronnie James Dio and tell how he effected us through the ages.

Paul finishes up with reading Ozzys biography and we welcome new listeners and their comments.

Gordie meets and interviews John Siuntres from Word Balloon, for the first time! (...beamed in from the Boom Tube or surfing on cosmic waves.) The conversation is super comic book centric, while dipping in and out of sports talk, movie talk and who's the oldest guy in the room.

John admits he is not a gardener, nor a fisherman, but loves being a city guy and gives Gordie tips on how to rule the podcast waves.

Gordie meets celebrities,gave up on comics, stayed cool with Love and Rockets, Cerebus, Arthur Adams and fails his own test on old time hockey conferences.

They both agree that Breaking Bad and Precious (based on the novel Push by Sapphire) are tough to watch, but Schindler's List can be enjoyed? more than once.

EC comics, Jack Davis, Jason Aaron, Al Feldstein, Chris Neseman, Brubaker and wonder of wonders...   Bendis gets mentioned.

This one goes longer than usual, but we just kept going.  Just listen and enjoy!

Welcome new listeners!

Gordie is joined by his mom, RUTH ADAMS!

We begin the conversation with EC COMICS talk and why Ruth and Gordie turned out the way they did. Ruths mom goes into scary neighborhoods to spread the Planned Parenthood gospel in the 50's, Ruth gets married and moves to California. Gordie puts a bean up his nose, digs a hole and gets his Halloween candy stolen. (...again.)

Ruth remembers waking up Christmas morning with a fully decorated tree, confuses "Special Olympics" with "Cub Scout Olympics" and goes for a walk in the sunshine.

QUEEN at the beginning and end.

Paul Bertolino and Gordie begin by discussing the re-opening of the fabled UPTOWN THEATER in Napa. Gordie doesn't know who to obsess about, mentors kids at the skatepark and their cassette tape making and watches BIG FAN. Paul buys DVD sets from the 70's and has met BRIAN POSEHN less times than Gordie has, even though his roommate is friends with him.

PAUL SINGS!  

Gordie "tweaks his amp" and we forget to talk about W.A.S.P. til after the outro.

Paul Bertolino joins "The Gord" and tells of his backstage experience at THE PLASTIC ONO BAND show in Oakland Cailfornia. SEAN LENNON heard there was Guinness here, TOM AYERS finally freaks out and YOKO gets in shape on stage. Gordie falls in love with UFO all over again, realizes ROXY MUSIC may be the progenitors of new wave and runs into Adrian Sahim at Home Depot. We wrap up with PERSEPHONES BEES gig info and get pretty controversial with Nazis and Jesus talk.

Paul Bertolino is rocking the nation once again, mere minutes before taking the stage.

Paul can't wait to get out of the hotel room, reveals the guy who wore the cape at Napa High and still doesn't have TV (...even if the WHO are playing at the Super Bowl)

Gordie tells of fan recognition, likes the ANVIL documentary, watches the Super Bowl Halftime Show, realizes that KISS is the Sinatra of his generation and would appreciate some sort of feedback. 

(...Comedy after the outro.)

Gordie is joined by Nathan Alfaro and Adam Sullivan in picturesque Petaluma CA to discuss the super-special, ultimate directors cut of WATCHMEN. Adam builds a C3PO model and then destoys it. Nathan encourages Gordie to watch 30 Rock. Kids say the darndest things and Gordie is nearly finished with Battlestar Gattica. We all get the details of SUPERMAN IV wrong and we wrap up with opinions of the new STAR TREK movie.     (NERD-FEST!)

...technical issues occured, making some weird edits, but enjoy never the less.

Gordie and Paul meet up with Bridget in Napa for a Gordcast All-Stars summit.  Bridget fails to wear her ever-present Ugg boots, has a bit to learn about bears and reveals that she has a little something in common with Joanie.  Gordie's gotta hand it to Lady Gaga, does not feel that Leather Tuscadero is butch, and is a much bigger fan of Filter than anyone had bargained for.  Paul had a mustache in Jr High, makes sure KISS gets an honorable mention, and clears up that Alice Cooper rumor.

Gordie and Paul rap about Christmas memories and traditions over the years. Gordie receives a Papercut in the mail and enjoys The Boys, while sick in bed.  Paul finds twenty bucks and has his KISS sleeping-bag defiled at a sleep over. The two of them discuss the Tauntaun sleeping bag, a Millenium Falcon bed and being sick around Christmas. Gordie's mom plays The Lord's Prayer backwards and we end up off topic with Metal.

Gordie is joined by Thea Gilien. Thea doesn't ride Horses anymore, kinda explains about Hurling and tells what it's like spending Thanksgiving in Ireland. Gordie skateboards in the newly built skatepark, has been to more Disneyland's (around the world)  than Thea and they both admit Sting is never going to be as good as when The Police reigned over the world.
Finally we talk about other podcasts.
