<p>With John on tour and the holiday season literally upon us (<em>literally</em>), the next few weeks of our <a href="http://roderickontheline.com"><em>Roderick on the Line</em></a> program will, regrettably, be compelled to hew to an unusually-erratic release schedule.</p>
|
|
45
|
+
<p>But, in deference to the Spirit of Christmas, we&rsquo;d like to share with you a Very Special Episode&trade; from the copious bowels of <a href="http://www.merlinmann.com/rotl-episodes/">the RotL archives</a>.</p>
|
|
46
|
+
<p>Like <em>It&rsquo;s a Wonderful Life</em>, <em>A Christmas Story</em>, and <a href="http://www.tv.com/shows/happy-days/guess-whos-coming-to-christmas-20505/">that one episode of <em>Happy Days</em></a> where Fonzie may have to spend Christmas alone in his hovel of a garage, eating a can of beans from his hot plate, we hope that you will consider building a warm and nostalgic new holiday tradition for your family with an annual listening of one of our favorite and best-loved episodes: &ldquo;<a title="Ep. 44: &quot;The Story of&nbsp;Lola&quot; - Roderick on the Line - Merlin Mann" href="http://www.merlinmann.com/roderick/ep-44-the-story-of-lola.html"><strong><em>The Story of Lola</em></strong></a>.&rdquo;</p>
|
|
47
|
+
<p>In which John drinks too much coffee, shares his breadth of knowledge regarding our nation&rsquo;s strip clubs, explains the role of raccoons in producing bottled water, and&mdash;yes&mdash;recounts his august background dressing up as Santa Claus and spanking dirty little elves in a bar.</p>
|
|
48
|
+
<p>Happy Holidays to you and yours, and thank you for letting John help you so much each week.</p>

<p><strong>The Problems</strong>: There needs to be <em>a lot</em> more exhaustion in this country; we were really tearing through popes there for a while; one hickie, and suddenly you&rsquo;re out-of-uniform; <em>Billy Corgan: The Seriousest Kid on Earth</em>; retirees and toddlers should NOT be sharing a classroom; why John could never be a full Grateful Dead person; pull up those goddamned pants&mdash;<em>like a gentleman</em>; when ganking, you can&rsquo;t stab your fish until the new shivs arrive; guys, you <em>gotta</em> stay away from the heroin; you get that Trotsky tattoo, and you&rsquo;re stuck with that Trotsky tattoo; Merlin&rsquo;s morbid fear of Judas Priest; passing on that Orthodox stress bump? &ldquo;Tradition!&rdquo;; history clearly mitigates against the group shower; Paul Shaffer just keeps playing along; crafting an artisanal air guitar; how your &ldquo;fitness regimen&rdquo; is <em>literally</em> killing the environment; Jonathan Cain, last of a generation; pondering England&rsquo;s functional pussies; introducing awkward sharing <em>and</em> constant uncertainty; startling new statistics on what 70% of New York&rsquo;s men &ldquo;have&rdquo;; up to pie on katie bars of kitchen signs&mdash;but not me in; John shares how to properly blouse a pant; how did you get this number?; Merlin gives Hodgman a fresh pair of GoldToe&reg;s; introducing new yokes to usefulness; Dave Grohl seems like a pretty nice guy; no skylarking; the little red-haired witch that flew over the moon; an abrupt change of plans for little Tyler Heraclitus; <em>The Varieties of Wangus Experience</em>; debating the indignity of the keytar; silent instruments of the holocaust; now it&rsquo;s HALF a golf pencil, and you&rsquo;ll <strong>like it</strong>; the category of things that are <em>never</em> funny; no excuse, sir; yeah, but, Rimbaud and Mozart were corner cases; functional data points on The Liberty Bell Curve; how come only the keyboard guys ever die?; and <strong>that</strong> is what you get for wearing a plastic faucet on your head for nine hours; &ldquo;Shower down to get an &lsquo;A!&rsquo;&rdquo;; only takes one shortcut to ruin the rugby photo for <em>everyone</em>; crisscross applesauce; entering Washington&rsquo;s carnival worm hole; why Merlin may be better at guitar than he lets on; gaslighting the shit out of these kids; one day love will find you; more on helping Gibson find his duck; and, John&rsquo;s important new plan for helping our young people.</p>

<p>One year ago this week, <a href="http://i-0.us/pae4oE">the first episode</a> of <em><a href="http://roderickontheline.com">Roderick on the Line</a></em> went up. To commemorate the occasion, I wanted to share a little bit of history with you, as well as just say, &#8220;<em>thanks</em>.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>The Problems</strong>: Merlin’s sniffly allergies (sorry); directions for the connoisseur of <em>keyboard-oriented music</em>; your hosts’s chronic and irreconcilable Sloan disconnect; that time when Tiny Tim wheeled over to The Magazine Shoppe with John’s Radiohead; the dynamics of recording in a rented castle; almost getting NASCAP’d for a Little Grass Shack; favoring amongst the four R.E.M.s; how Carl Newman’s maybe a little like a cat; overdue credit for Hetfield’s pointing; getting Telecasters into the trunk; <em>almost</em> getting to Merlin’s rules; skipping hard over “Electioneering”; relocating John’s candles to the piano; some follow-up on “The Jeez”; tucking a beard in a belt; goin’ deep catalog on Jerry Lewis; sniffing at the indestructible SM57; high-profile christening of <em>Hotel Motherfucker</em>; going to see the doctor of divinity; suspending the D; Tom Wolfe scoffs that it lacks a “persuasive theory”; and how one mysterious visitor very nearly filled Merlin’s wife with spiders.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RoderickOnTheLine/~4/iIiYtjHYyPU" height="1" width="1"/></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.merlinmann.com/roderick/rss-comments-entry-14017417.xml</wfw:commentRss><media:content url="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RoderickOnTheLine/~5/YFJtIIWpxUA/rotl_012.mp3" type="audio/mpeg" /><itunes:explicit>yes</itunes:explicit><itunes:subtitle>With John Roderick & Merlin Mann</itunes:subtitle><itunes:author>Merlin Mann</itunes:author><itunes:summary>Merlin Mann's frank & candid weekly phone call with John Roderick of The Long Winters</itunes:summary><itunes:keywords>JohnRoderick,TheLongWinters,MerlinMann</itunes:keywords><feedburner:origLink>http://www.merlinmann.com/roderick/ep-12-cold-calling-the-jewess.html</feedburner:origLink><enclosure url="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RoderickOnTheLine/~5/YFJtIIWpxUA/rotl_012.mp3" length="0" type="audio/mpeg" /><feedburner:origEnclosureLink>http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/www.merlinmann.com/storage/rotl/rotl_012.mp3</feedburner:origEnclosureLink></item><item><title>Ep. 11: "Everybody Knew What Mr. Finnell Did"</title><category>episodes</category><dc:creator>roderick@example.com (Merlin Mann)</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 01 Dec 2011 03:59:30 +0000</pubDate><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RoderickOnTheLine/~3/o6An0-7aKc8/ep-11-everybody-knew-what-mr-finnell-did.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">512802:11915055:13922596</guid><description><p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.merlinmann.com/storage/800px-Ping-Pong_23.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1322701194801" alt=""/></span></span></p>

<p><strong>The Problems</strong>: the status of Napoleon&rsquo;s hat; historically significant panties on the auction block; major issues in corporal punishment; Liza&rsquo;s mostly lifelike Naugahyde partner; recovering our Oprah memories; John&rsquo;s investigative broom closet journalism; the IMAX technology that was wasted on the Gunther Gebel Williams clan; conspiracy theories around Pee-wee&rsquo;s Sarasota jam-up; why Seattle&rsquo;s goin&rsquo; hungry in the lemon yellow sun; Mr. Finnell&rsquo;s copy is goldenrod; Donovan&rsquo;s probably fake smile; tackling our usual authenticity issues; some &ldquo;e&rdquo;-zy diaeresis h&auml;cks; why John&rsquo;s just <strong>not</strong> a fan; the salient <em>diff&eacute;rence</em>; Merlin&rsquo;s glass-lined taxi driver problems; how the sunshine bores the daylights out of the one Rolling Stones lick Merlin knows; knowing how or whether to marry the other one from <em>Wham!</em> (U.K.); an opium-dulled death by a thousand mimeographs; the varieties of childhood paddles; in Soviet Alaska, Teamsters bust <strong>you</strong>; knowing when to save those pedagogically-stained Dolphin shorts; the seasonal difficulties of adjudicating clowns; some sensitive cultural subtleties of ping-pong; and the complex reasons why John can&rsquo;t stop playing solitaire in traffic.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RoderickOnTheLine/~4/o6An0-7aKc8" height="1" width="1"/></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.merlinmann.com/roderick/rss-comments-entry-13922596.xml</wfw:commentRss><media:content url="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RoderickOnTheLine/~5/KxTgy6Dthfw/rotl_011.mp3" type="audio/mpeg" /><itunes:explicit>yes</itunes:explicit><itunes:subtitle>With John Roderick & Merlin Mann</itunes:subtitle><itunes:author>Merlin Mann</itunes:author><itunes:summary>Merlin Mann's frank & candid weekly phone call with John Roderick of The Long Winters</itunes:summary><itunes:keywords>JohnRoderick,TheLongWinters,MerlinMann</itunes:keywords><feedburner:origLink>http://www.merlinmann.com/roderick/ep-11-everybody-knew-what-mr-finnell-did.html</feedburner:origLink><enclosure url="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RoderickOnTheLine/~5/KxTgy6Dthfw/rotl_011.mp3" length="0" type="audio/mpeg" /><feedburner:origEnclosureLink>http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/www.merlinmann.com/storage/rotl/rotl_011.mp3</feedburner:origEnclosureLink></item><item><title>Ep. 10: "They Usually Come in the Mornings"</title><category>Merlin's Faves</category><category>episodes</category><dc:creator>roderick@example.com (Merlin Mann)</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 23 Nov 2011 20:04:06 +0000</pubDate><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RoderickOnTheLine/~3/ATrGkjBy6IA/ep-10-they-usually-come-in-the-mornings.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">512802:11915055:13844563</guid><description><p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.merlinmann.com/storage/rotl/rleeermey.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1322078221750" alt="" /></span></span></p>

<p><strong>The Problems</strong>: the Greek dessert crisis (from the root, <em>disagreeos</em>); analyzing the tactical dearth of mousse in the Maginot Line; a shared fate for Ernst Röhm and the Clampett family; disruptive oninonomics behind food that blooms; no Abrahamic sandwiches for Hilal the Elder; some phallocentric appeals of flan and its equipment; John’s beef with the compulsory heat of Turkey’s nuts; why hasenpfeffers are expendable; ruined by a young Marlo Thomas; when <code>*M*A*S*H*</code> got all Chachi; line-editing Raymond Carver&#8217;s cocktail napkins; accent on the fakeyest Cockneys, Guv’na; formally moving on to African-American-tie racism; efforts to secure Ann-Margret’s hips (<em>and</em> flips) a place our canonical phalanx; John’s morbid—and ultimately unfounded—fear of Neil Young’s doobie; saving a lovely, dark-haired girl from hipster yodeling; and some editorial follow-up on why Merlin could still use a good Pounding.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RoderickOnTheLine/~4/L5K0oP2WLNI" height="1" width="1"/></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.merlinmann.com/roderick/rss-comments-entry-13249130.xml</wfw:commentRss><media:content url="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RoderickOnTheLine/~5/yKGfbWeTtMU/rotl_e005.mp3" type="audio/mpeg" /><itunes:explicit>yes</itunes:explicit><itunes:subtitle>With John Roderick & Merlin Mann</itunes:subtitle><itunes:author>Merlin Mann</itunes:author><itunes:summary>Merlin Mann's frank & candid weekly phone call with John Roderick of The Long Winters</itunes:summary><itunes:keywords>JohnRoderick,TheLongWinters,MerlinMann</itunes:keywords><feedburner:origLink>http://www.merlinmann.com/roderick/ep-05-carry-on-maude.html</feedburner:origLink><enclosure url="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RoderickOnTheLine/~5/yKGfbWeTtMU/rotl_e005.mp3" length="0" type="audio/mpeg" /><feedburner:origEnclosureLink>http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/www.merlinmann.com/storage/rotl/rotl_e005.mp3</feedburner:origEnclosureLink></item><item><title>Ep. 04: "Sears Would Call Me Husky"</title><category>episodes</category><dc:creator>roderick@example.com (Merlin Mann)</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 05 Oct 2011 23:53:58 +0000</pubDate><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RoderickOnTheLine/~3/sMGgOCEOrjI/ep-04-sears-would-call-me-husky.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">512802:11915055:13093519</guid><description><p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.merlinmann.com/storage/rotl/toughskins2.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1317856204124" alt="" /></span></span></p>

The problems: topical storms; Wears-a-Hat guy (and the uniforms of his ruthless punishers); our touchy tattooed friends; an elegant Kanji; John&#8217;s numerous hauntings, visions, and visitations; Angelina Jolie&#8217;s insane bubble of insanity; the ubiquity of permanent sexface; why we&#8217;re not actually that fancy; fake benefits; the byzantine chili fan and earnest butchery; and why That&#8217;s Not Funny. It&#8217;s not.
