The Midnight Citizen 286: “The Margaritaville HOA”

Join Mike in the studio for another late night ramble.

Tonight, we explore life after the rat race in Margaritaville, FLA, where a flock of 55-and-up Parrot Heads and coastal grandmothers are wastin’ away in an oasis by the sea. Also, Katy Perry and Gayle King go to space, and to all our chagrin, come back; meanwhile, back on Earth, I pay my taxes and cause a car accident, consider taking a job teaching homeschool for a Christian company that sounds like a soap opera, and check out the upcoming Thomas Pynchon novel, “Shadow Ticket”, which sends me further into the bottomless pit of trying to understand postmodernism.

The Midnight Citizen 285: “Microwave Epiphany”

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Join Mike in the studio for another late night ramble.

Tonight, it’s all about looking for a new business to get into, like maybe buyin’ a drone and selling my services as a “droneprenuer”. It seems to work for all those folks on Youtube infomercials, and as far as shady enterprise goes, it’s really no more sketchy than any other classified ad on LinkedIn.

Later, I have a religious epiphany over a box of frozen ravioli, give my final thoughts on “The White Lotus”, and play you a clip of a white nationalist who sounds like Ned Flanders. It’s boss-diddly-oss!

Check out my interview with Bob on StaticRadio.com!

The Midnight Citizen 284: “Christy, the Night Manager”

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Join Mike in the studio late at night for a free-flowing ramble.

On this episode, he recounts the Friday night scramble of his first job — racing to close down the dollar theater lobby in time to make it to the video store before they locked the gates. Thankfully, Christy, the night manager, would keep the lights on just a little longer, giving rise to their own unofficial after hours film society.

Also: Irishing up my coffee to make a toast to Val Kilmer, browsing the classifieds again in my ongoing job search saga, and just when you thought Pulp Fiction had given up all its secrets… new theories emerge…
