We’re back this week with guest Brian Serber. Brian worked at 93X for a while and Matt decided to grill him about the differences between podcasting and legitimate radio. Not as different as you might expect.
We cover a lot of stuff in this episode. Jena went to the Nerdist podcast recording, Matt threw chili powder in a friend’s eyes, and Salsa finds the best use of Cadbury Creme Eggs ever. We mention a couple videos this show, and this time I’m gonna remember to post them. See?

No, it’s 5:10 with the intro!
DRINK!
6:16 “But he gets no chorus or break,” Jena.
DAMN that was good! You aren’t drunk enough if you can come up with THAT.
I’d like Felicia Day to use ME over and over and over.
1:57 Jena Super Broken and BRIAN on a RAMPAGE
23:00 Meeting goons – I ran into Jesse Jackson in O’Hare Airport in 1987. He had some goons around him (one pictured).
46:40 DAMN! I missed another nipslip!
1:00 I’ve been going to SF Cons for AGES and have never experienced any hedonism I didn’t bring with me. I must be the squarest guy in the world.
1:14 Jena has a fear of fireworks because Fitz sells them. REASONABLE.
1:29 “…but a HELL of an agent!”
ROFL
On Sandwiches:
I’m fairly picky about building my sandwiches and feel that the proper thing to be touching the mayo (or mustard, or other condiment of choice) is the meat. Vegies are moist and if placed next to the mayo will cause sliding and make eating the sandwich more difficult. Cheese doesn’t have the sliding problem as much, but the condiment tends to either be overpowered by or overpower the cheese if they are in too close proximity.
I’m also fairly picky about which condiment (and sometimes cheese) I put on my sandwich:
Turkey: Any cheese, Mayo or Ranch dressing
Ham: Any cheese, Mustard
Roast Beef: Cheddar or Swiss, No condiment (possibly BBQ sauce)
Bologna: Cheddar or Provolone, Mayo
Salami: Swiss or Provolone, Mustard
Italian sub: (which is Ham; Salami; and Capicola, Pepperoni, or Mortadella) Provolone, Oil & Vinegar
Pastrami: No cheese, Mustard (Brown) [The only real way to have a Pastrami sandwich, NY Deli style]
Corned Beef: Swiss (if any), Mustard or Russian dressing
And finally, my list of allowed vegies (when I’m making the sandwich) is: Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onion, and Pickles.
DRINK!
School of Athens is my favorite painting. He actually knew enough about the artists and philosophers, that he could tell who would hang out with who. Every person in there is an actual person.
Remind me the next time I come over to relate my story about working Block E prescreenings from a few years back.
Nothing should touch any mayo or Miracle Whip -blech! But then I don’t like ketchup or mustard either.
Veggies/pickles on a sandwich can add moisture to help it go down in case you don’t have something to drink with it. For one of our renfest shop help parties we did a make-your-own-sandwich buffet
I have a sandwich story to share. First off, for a “I just want a sandwich” craving I just make a simple symmetric sandwich of slice of bread, cheese, meat, tiny bit of appropriate mayo/mustard/etc., more meat, more cheese, and finally slice of bread. Simple and pretty good.
But when I want a good sandwich, I get a club. I’ve been getting clubs since I was about ten, when I would go on my family’s twice-a-year camping trips. It was a eight-hour drive to the place, and at the half-way point we would stop at the same restaurant for lunch every time so I could enjoy a wonderful Club sandwich. And for the last twenty years when I want a good sandwich I tend to order a Club, not just because of the nice childhood association but because I had never had a bad Club. Meat a little dry? Bread a little over-toasted? Still a damn good sandwich.
Until last year.
I went with my wife to an Applebee’s and saw an interesting Club sandwich: one with a little bit of BBQ sauce. I thought: “Hey, that could be good. A little bit of BBQ sauce could be a nice addition”. Boy was I fucking wrong; the sandwich was drenched in both BBQ sauce and mayo so that all the bread was soggy and falling apart when I picked it up. Thanks to that shitty sandwich I’ve had far fewer Clubs lately out of fear that someone is going to screw one up again.
tl;dr Club sandwichs are awesome, fuck you Applebee’s for almost ruining them for me.
