An Earful Of Convoy/cocktail

In this, the final episode of Earful, the gang is in a feuding mood! We again return to the Happy Land of Absolutes to discuss the eleventh five minutes of You've Got Mail, and discuss the criminality of all the Mail characters, Jeffersonian purity, and modern gym wicking technology. Recorded just hours after the Presidential Election was called, we're also making our own calls: how best can an unprofitable cultural enterprise be preserved? Who is best suited to be the spokesman for Fox Books? And is Kathleen Kelly truly a pill? Featuring the famous segments "We Read the Tweets" and "We Relitigate the Feuds" (AKA "Feud Update" AKA "The Feud Litigator")

You've Got... Instant Message?!?! We've kicked into Web 2.0 here at Earful, and the textboxes are flying! This ep, we have a delightful (and very fun) Thanksgiving Round of "The Instrument Song (The Orchestra Song)", Birdie is on the prowl, and we investigate the innovative voice-over scheme that YGM uses to represent online communication. ...Hello? Also featuring the popular segment "Our Jacobin Feud," featuring our new enemy Meagan Day.

"Press Send" to another ep of Earful, featuring plenty of holiday merriment: we head to the hectic, not-yet-cashfree world of Zabar's to introduce a new exhibit, explore the lobster salad controversy, and uncover the four secret steps to a perfect espresso. Educate yourself with a lively debate about whether 'A Christmas Carol' takes place at Thanksgiving or Christmas. Also introducing the popular segment "We Watch 'The Shop Around the Corner.'"

Pop an Ultra Dorm and settle in for another episode of Earful! A veritable smorgasbord of savory morsels on display today: we analyze the egg dish, judge the poultry lift, and assess garnishes. And as always, we mix business with pleasure: analyzing the corporate structure of the Price Club, guessing Birdie's salary, and auditing bookstore revenues (we're in the book business, after all!)

It's a hit! The Earful Gang is back with episode seven, and it's even more fun than the nut shop! It's party time at Vince Mancini's, and we have plenty of time to talk about rent control, Miranda rights, the books Miranda writes, as well as the legendary William Spungeon. (Isn't he in Mexico?) So step to the back of the drink line and listen in! (Also featuring the hit segment "We Check the Tweets")

Two grand openings this week: Fox and Sons Books, and Episode 06 of An Earful of You've Got Mail! As the Fox surveys the henhouse, Kathleen and George practice the hard sell, Christina moves the fish, and sandwichman chows down. Meanwhile, we analyze book prices (hand-tipped or non), plow through 5+ sub-scenes, create synergy among our various podcast properties, and generally do the best we can, given that we cannot hear each other speak.

The novel coronavirus cannot keep the Earful gang down! Like Tom Hanks, we've risen from the dead; a little rusty, but with plenty of new CDC-approved protocol for keeping the YGM analysis both incisive and safe. In this ep, we bring you a veritable "Who's Who" from the Fox family tree, say hello to New Jersey, and give careful ratings of all "games" at the Fall Festival. Also featuring the popular new segment "Our Set-Up."

Final pre-COVID episode. Plague looms.

Penultimate pre-COVID episode.

Get ready for cameos! Joe finishes the juice, Patricia poses for the mags, and everybody zigs and zags to to the Cranberries (peak 1990s). Time for emails about enjoying emails, some good tips on learning Latin like a Local, some real-time mapping of Manhattan businesses, and some Gant charting!

We depart Long Island and head to The Big Apple to start our new movie, "You've Got Mail"; the earful gang immediately get started through a lengthy credit sequence, featuring God's Desktop, and explore the beginnings of the downfall of Western Civilization. Featuring new segments, "You've Got Spoilers," "Hack of the Ep," and "'Ware in the Air".

We talk to Heywood Gould about "Cocktail" (1984), "Cocktail" (1988), "Cocktail 2" (TBD), "Cocktail: The Musical" (TBD), and much, much more

NOT a party ep

We hit the FFF of Cocktail, and we have a FIGHT on our hands! A good time as any to crack open the Security Guard Force Continuum, and assess how adequately various security guards/bellmen deescalated the flare-up between Flanagan and Penthouse Daddy. (thanks to crimedoctor.com) In the remaining time, we analyze the planning of the Flanagan/Shue wedding, discover a mystery wedding guest, fix the movie's ending, and reference Benihana. Throughout, we are aided by special guest J.T, noted vinyl expert.

We're solving a mystery, the mystery of the murder of Douglas Coughlin! The clues are everywhere! Can someone commit suicide by slashing their own throat? (we consult Quora.) Who wrote the "suicide" letter? (We conduct advanced handwriting analyses.) Also featuring additional investigations into etymology of penthouse and other compound words, the coroner scene, the corner scene, blood temperature measurement techniques, and more! Additionally: an update on the Pittsburgh Orchestra, plus a very special edition of the famous theme song.

Get ready for a new, completely mistake-free episode of Earful of Cocktail! Plenty to dive into, as we pick apart the decor of the Coughlin-Prognan-'Partment, itemize with staggering detail the expenses of a $100k/week bar, but most importantly, apply the writings of Barbara Ehrenreich to best understand how "Cocktail" (1988) represents masculinity in the 1980s, in the context of ever-changing gender roles interacting with economic pressures! Featuring the popular segments "At This Time," "Read the Tweets", "Good Reads", and "With Fresh Eyes".

Mr. Coughlin may have no friends on Saturday night, but you have a friend in the Earful Crew, as we crack the 17th five minutes. We may be a bit rusty, but whether it's crunching the numbers on the FRP (Flanagan Removal Price), investigating how much prospective club attendees resemble Bruce Springsteen's couch, or missizing windows in order to block significant portions of our screens, we deliver! Also featuring the popular segment, "We email the Pittsburgh City Orchestra to inquire whether its Grammy-award-winning baritone actually played a small part in the movie 'Cocktail' (1988)".

The Earful crew welcomes Daddy to the story, as we move on up from pickled chicken eggs to pickled ostrich eggs, from a mere Megaloft to a true Park Avenue penthouse! Also on this ep: an important Pageful of Cocktail update, and plenty of java: an analysis of "Starbucks Trajectory" and a recap of the famous coffee scene from George of the Jungle! Welcome Daddy!

The Earful Gang serves up some specials in this ep... But instead of meatloaf muzzarell from the homeland, it's deep analysis of the menacing meta-romantic-comedy overtures of Brian Flanagan! And instead of Chicken a la King (a la Delmonico's), we dive deep into abortion and how societal expectations of loyalty fit into gender roles! And in lieu of ketchup for your fries, we have so much more: cameos from Yolandi Visser and other stalwarts of the Toronto theatre scene, rating YouTube comments by creepiness, and a rare successful match in "Key Line Pie." Featuring a guest (and a magnificent three-way sync) in Matt Apfel, longtime "Cocktail" aficionado and formerly of "Frankenfood" (not a plug).

The art world meets pugilism in this episode of Earful, and the gang's here to give you the full blow-by-blow! The new ep is decidedly urban in orientation, featuring Bonnie party-breaking her new boy toy, Brian attempting to buttle, and some cruel misdeeds done to brewer's yeast. Meanwhile, we resolve the feud with the Catbro.
