Talkin’ Blogstein (Sanjaya, Mickey & "The Doc")
Coming up this week on DR. BLOGSTEIN’S RADIO HAPPY HOUR: (Live on Tuesday April 10th at 9PM ET and forever archived at BlogTalkRadio.)
Mickey Mantle: Jerk or Evolved Soul? Bestselling sportswriter Peter Golenbock will join Dr. B and Jane to discuss this very issue. Golenbock’s new book, 7: The Mickey Mantle Novel, started a firestorm of controversy for suggesting, among other things, that Mantle had an affair with Marilyn Monroe and that he was sexually abused as a child.
Golenbock was also responsible for bringing celebrity book publisher Judith Regan to her knees (or was that Bernard Kerik?), leading to her firing late last year.
Also, Indian-American (not to be confused with American-Indian) blogger Santosh Hari will stop by to discuss the growing importance of Indian culture and Bollywood in American entertainment–heck, who are we kidding? He’s coming on to talk about American Idol’s Sanjaya.
All that, plus more Vinny Bond from his Big (Black) Leather Couch and of course, your calls at 646-652-4804.
Join us every Tuesday night at 9PM ET. And if you miss us then, we’re forever archived at BlogTalkRadio. Listen to every second because you never know when something memorable will go down.

Yo Doc……Happy Passover! I love the Sedar. 99% of my childhood friends were Jewish, at least the best ones… so I did all the Jewish holidays as well as the secular ones.
Hope it was good!

DOC… point of fact.. it is VinnY not VinnIE

Didn’t have time to build a couch this week.. darn

Thanks, Jenny Jungle and sorry about that, Bond. I fixed it. ooops.
April 9th, 2007 at 2:51 pm
This sounds promising. I’ll have to check it out.
Dr. do you think Sanjaya will someday rule the world?
April 9th, 2007 at 2:57 pm
Laurie, I’m glad you asked. Yes, I do believe Sanjaya is well on his way to ruling the world. As the great Nostredumass said: “In the year of 007, an effeminate Indian will wield unimaginable power with weak singing voice.”

I am sad you are going to go DOWN the American idol show road…Oh wait I have too!
April 9th, 2007 at 5:33 pm
Sadly enough, My Point Dave, the Radio Happy Hour will have to RISE to that level. Covering American Idol is a step up from talking to racist leprechauns!

It sounds like a interesting lineup for the next show but I have a request. I have instigated over sixty telephone calls to computer tech support personnel based in India in the last three and a half months. At last count, I have talked to thirty-six guys named Steve. There have also been five guys named Mark and one Rico but I seem to have uncovered not only a statistical anomaly, but also another sign of the apocalypse. I’m not saying Sanjaya is not worthy of a radio segment but this “Steve” issue needs to be addressed. It might seem insignificant to others, but during the course of the last sixty odd computer tech calls, I’ve spelled my single syllable first name over seven thousand times. I’m convinced these so called “Steves” are attempting to destroy western civilization one brain cell at a time. Computer owners on the North American continent are being driven to the point of emotional implosion and I would appreciate if you would get to the bottom of it. And what the hell is up with that Sanjaya guy?

I’m checking out your blog for the first time. Awesome stuff! Thanks for the comment you left on my blog and I added you to my page. I will definitely be checking back in often. Thanks again.
April 10th, 2007 at 3:35 pm
Slagger: You’ve certainly outdone yourself with that diatribe. I think I speak for everyone when I ask, “What the hell are you talking about?!?”
Ryan: Thanks, man. Glad to have you on board. Keep coming back and Go Tigers!
April 10th, 2007 at 3:57 pm
Blogstein, you quite literally are the hardest working M F’er in internet radio. Every week you keep upping the stakes.
Semper Fi BRO. YOU ARE MAKING US ALL WORK HARDER, AND KEEP IT UP!
Ok no more caps!
April 10th, 2007 at 8:41 pm
Go Tigers? I guess lol. Not much to root for around here. I hear our dance team is pretty awesome though.
April 10th, 2007 at 9:16 pm
Dearest Doc:
I must love you if I’m going to listen to baseball talk.
Glad Jane is back, she was missed.
April 10th, 2007 at 9:50 pm
Anndi, baseball and apple pie! Awesome!
April 10th, 2007 at 11:57 pm
My Point Dave…
We’ll have pie? How about cake? You gotta have cake!
April 11th, 2007 at 12:00 am
Slaggy.. I have issues with the tech guy as well… he keeps asking me “Is your computer turned on?” and “what are you wearing now?”.
What’s up with that?!
April 11th, 2007 at 2:08 am
Dearest Doc:
You should have kept me around for the assignment and tips.. Babydolls work nicely.. provided there are shoes..
high heels…
ankle straps…
peekaboo toes…
The shoe enhances the shape of the leg and does wonders for a woman’s assets…
and um.. I forgive you for cutting me off babycakes.
April 11th, 2007 at 2:13 am
DOC: See! I said it after you lost the feed, but it is in the archived version.. Ms. Anndi, I made that EXACT point… the shoes….
DOC: Thanks for your allowing me time again this evening. I truly enjoyed myself and am considering doing something on Blogtalk in the form of a informational music show… tracing the history of rock perhaps… contrasting styles of music… just in the gestation phase.
April 11th, 2007 at 2:30 am
Hey, Anndi: call in next week with your seduction tips…PLEASE!
Bond: You were great as usual. You definitely brought something to both interviews tonight. I appreciate it!
April 11th, 2007 at 2:59 am
MY pleasure Sir….
April 11th, 2007 at 3:01 am
Dearest Doc:
Anything your heart desires.. your wish is my… (oops.. got cut off… ;-p)
April 16th, 2007 at 12:46 pm
that’s an amazing photo of Sanjaya… haven’t seen American Idol for weeks so missed this on tv.
(p.s. listening now - liking it - good interviewing of Golenbock)
April 16th, 2007 at 1:43 pm
Thanks, Champy! I’m glad you gave us another chance.
