Episode 0008

Harvey Plankers and Phillip Moreso return for episode 0008! Phillip has enjoyed an interdimensional journey to Europe, and returns to the Infinite Frequencies studio for a madcap romp through the world of universal news. This episode is sponsored by the beloved Bob Saget; you may know him as Danny Tanner from Full House. Topics covered in this episode are: alleged 112 year-old marries younger woman, Andre Agassi wore a fake mullet and did ice, David Letterman's involvement in the diary of Stephanie Birkitt, plus Sarah Palin jokes. Old favourite Dion McGregor performs a stunning somniloquy, Carl Sagan gives us yet another symphony of science and watch out for an interesting mic check! Technical difficulties and incorrect editing abound!

Old Man Dore

A very heartwarming story has come across the Infinite Frequencies universal newsdesk, much to the delight of Harvey and Phillip. Somalian Ahmed Muhamed Dore has become something of a legend in the older man/younger woman community. He claims that he is 112, and his new wife is 17. If he is truly 112, then he is 95 years older than local beauty Safia Abdulleh. He had to wait for her to grow up and then used his experience to convince her of his love. We wish the happy couple all the best!

The Letterman / Birkitt files

(link to USA Today)
Many of you will have enjoyed the antics of late-night teeth-licking and jacket-straightening guru David Letterman. He has found himself in the interesting scenario of having slept with at least one woman from the staff of his show! He has confessed to an affair with his assistant Stephanie Birkitt to avoid being blackmailed. To make matters even more complicated, Stephanie Birkitt was at the time the sweetheart of CBS producer Robert 'Joe' Halderman. Stephanie wrote down all the details about her raunchy feelings involving Letterman, and Halderman was surprised to read it. Kathleen Parker writes an opinion piece for USA Today exploring this delicate issue.

Letterman / Palin

David Letterman was also involved in some controversy earlier in the year when he made an interesting joke about Sarah Palin's daughter. Letterman really stirred the pot when he suggested that, at the baseball game Palin and her daughter attended, Palin's daughter was impregnated by Alex Rodriguez AKA A-Rod. Apparently, he didn't know he was talking about the 14-year old. You can watch footage of the joke and a remotely interesting news story here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6czfhBPvLOU

There were many protests over the incident, and YouTube has some classic videos about this issue. Here are but a few:

• Sarah Palin "Letterman Comment About Statutory Rape Of My 14 Year Old" - Sarah Palin hits back at Letterman's joke about her daughter and any slurs on her own character. She claims she is not a slutty flight attendant, as Letterman suggests.
• Fire David Letterman Protest: War on (Palin) Jokes - excellent piece by pop culture expert Sam Seder; formerly trained by Olinsky & Acorn. Check out the infamous pen joke.
• "Fire David Letterman" Protest Rally Becomes Hatefest - a great video featuring insights from many interesting Jay Leno fans. A highlight here is when a lady make the startling claim that David Letterman rapes children with his mouth.
• Palin/Letterman round 2 - a panel discussion revolving around reactions to "the joke"

Sagan Symphony #2

(link to YouTube)

Last episode we featured A Glorious Dawn by Carl Sagan, remixed from the Cosmos TV series. This episode, we have another masterpiece from Sagan and other scientific luminaries. Now comes We Are All Connected; a beautiful exploration of many excellent ideas and even perhaps spiritual when Sagan claims that 'the cosmos is also within us' and 'we are a way for the cosmos to know itself'. Truly infinite, we hope that you enjoy this music video.

The skeptics society has released video footage of a lecture entitled Three Views of Carl Sagan. It is very boring but a must-watch for hardcore Sagan freaks.

Andre's mullet

Devastating news has recently come to light with the shock confession from everyone's favourite tennis pro Andre Agassi that the famous mullet hairstyle that was his trademark throughout the 80s was in fact a wig! The news that Agassi's mullet was held on with pins and designed to hide his receding hairline is almost too much to bear. Harvey and Phillip are angry at this deception.

As a side note, Agassi also confessed that he used ice. See Courtney Walsh's article detailing Agassi's use of the drug known to narcotics experts as 'crystal meth'.

Mic Check

This video features a disturbed individual performing a microphone check before a function. It is actually a sketch comedy piece devised by the Harvard Sailing Team and the mic check guy is none other than the great Adam Lustick. We thought this was an actual mic check but it's just pure comedy gold! The Harvard Sailing Team has many more videos showcasing their improvisational style of humour, check them out at http://www.harvardsailingteam.com/hst/

Kanye West event

When Taylor Swift won her Video Music Award for best female video for You Belong with Me, Kanye West crashed the stage and announced that Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time! Way to ruin a young girl's dream, Kanye. While he didn't say what video it was or even whether she should've won instead, it appears that he is a Beyonce fan. He may even be trying to take her away from the hip-hop tycoon Jay-Z, whose longevity is unrivalled. Harvey, Phillip and guest Francesco embark on a challenging discussion about this topic. The highly observant Francesco mentions Kanye's interesting hair patterning work, which is seen below.





















President Obama also weighed in on the issue, calling West a jackass. Although Obama was unaware he was being recorded, he was. The reporter who introduces this video for CNN looks like he is really annoyed that he has to talk about this event.

Jack White had a Kanye moment at the Toronto Film Festival. White burst onto stage to claim that "Orson Welles had one of the greatest films of all time".

We also played sound from a video blog about the issue. This is just one of a plethora of videos by YouTubers who offer their opinion on the subject.

Coolio at the deli

Nineties rapper Coolio has stunned everybody with a performance at The Deli Zone in Longmont, Colorado. Highlights included Coolio driving - and crashing - an invisible car, pretending to get shot at and calling the audience “alcoholic [four-syllable expletives]” before introducing a song by saying "My name is Coolio and I am a recovering alcoholic and drug addict".















Coolio also asked the audience for tacos, Hennessey and gas money. It sounded like a great show with Coolio rapping there "ain't no party like a Longmont part 'cause a Longmont party don't stop". Longmont is notorious for its rowdy all-night parties and, being a party animal himself, Coolio knows this. Coolio has played roles in many films, and hosted his own cooking and parenting shows as well as appearing in Celebrity Big Brother.

Coolio wants chicken and Patron

It seems that Coolio had an interesting rider for his performance at The Deli Zone. He was paid $3000 for his time, but also among his demands were a bucket of chicken and a bottle of Patron (the silver variety). When he was called and asked to perform in Longmont, home of The Deli Zone, Coolio apparently replied "Where's Longmont at?" We said the same thing, but after some research we're satisfied that it is in Colorado. Money magazine recently named it as one of the top 50 places to live.

A Glorious Sagan

(link to SlashDot Science, or straight to YouTube)

YouTube user melodysheep has utilised autotune technology to create a modern masterpiece of scientific electronica! A Glorious Dawn is the new song composed of quotes from Carl Sagan's magnificent Cosmos TV series magically weaved into a brilliant tune. Sagan also offers us some wonderful advice about making apple pies (tip: create the universe first, not after). Although it is great, I would love to hear it without the autotune. This track also features a very short cameo by Stephen Hawking. Beautiful words of wisdom, enjoy!
