i just found links to the "mel and floyd summer replacement show"<\/span><\/a> aka "it’s monkeytime with mel and floyd". this is the only thing i miss about living in madison, wi. it’s a program played on WORT, madison’s community radio station. most of the time WORT plays what my mother refers to as "lesbian organic gardening call-in shows" but not me, no sir, i would never make light of eco-feminism and its many valid belief systems.<\/p>\n

every friday afternoon, mel and mr. smarty pants (floyd has never been on the show as long as i’ve been listening), ramble and quip about current events. there’s long silences as they search through their piles of newspaper clippings or finish chortling over their own jokes. but they’re genuinely funny for all that. <\/p>\n

i used to live near the radio station, and one day while i was doing laundry at the laundromat across from WORT (the cleanest laundromat i’ve ever seen, the owner would come in every hour to wipe down the machines, it was amazing) the two of them came in to buy some sodas from the machine. i recognized them by their voices. my god they looked appalling. mel looked like that big guy from "goonies" but without that one eye being lower than the other. mr. smarty pants looked like a librarian who got hit by a truck carrying flannel, fake beards, and midgets.<\/p>\n

or maybe i was just diappointed because the most talented media duo in town were kinda funny looking.<\/p>\n

here’s a direct<\/a> <\/span>link to an episode, but it’ll only be available for the next month or so.<\/p>\n
