Episode 1 of Season 2 gets right down to the important part of New Year’s celebrations- chicken wings!
Marty and Spirited Kenny recall the history of local wing sales gimmicks at restaurants, “the wing craze” and the unique packaging- going back to the early 90’s. Where was Piccolo Pub, fans? We talk about what we did over January 1 and what we saw around town (and nothing goes better with wings than College football.) Marty even got in a New Year’s prank with a radio DJ this year for oldtime’s sake! He also tells about the holiday mayhem and hectic pace in his past DJ career at the Zoo and Ozzy’s.Plus, we tell about our respective introductions to belly button shooters; more tales of taxi rides and house parties past…. and the story of Kenny and the New Year’s Eve rut.
22:10 Update on our UFO talk. And, some alien talk (about classic TV shows). Kenny has a few questions to compare the incident Marty experienced https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/wlRbsGldiwb with previous reports in other areas of Manitoba and is preparing ‘a fancy slide show’. Marty recallls producing the infamous New Year’s Eve Party of Pizza Phil Sacco on Pembina – and Chuck Green’s reaction to the stooge report of the “Star Wars bar” crowd it drew. An excellent story about an early 90’s visit with Pizza Phil at his Club Soda gig ensues.
38:34 Part 2 begins with Kenny’s bar-hopping days. Which clubs? PLENTY! And some funs one too. We talk some history, as Marty explains a bit of Strawberry’s to Kenny – ‘an epitome of excess”; a verbal tour of “triple shot night”, “and the Druxman’s thanked you” and the Pembina strip, when it was still the wild west for the college crowd. And then there was the Legions. How did bars handle the music when the cops raided the beverage room? You’ll hear a firsthand experience. Eventually we turn to our bread and butter- local politics. What was Brian Bowman’s legacy? Among other things, machetes on buses.
52:00 A New York Post story claims a British women is getting harassed by food delivery orders, dozens a night. We try to gumshoe the case a bit.
1:00:00 Marty teases an upcoming interview in a sports publication he’s been asked to participate in. And somehow, while we started with wings, we end on another favorite food subject- buffet busting.
