In the past 30 days we have lost John Madden, Betty White, Sidney Poitier, Bob Saget, Meatloaf and Louie Anderson. As far as I know none of these deaths are being blamed on Covid. Betty White was only a few days short of a hundred. Louie Anderson had been admitted to the hospital earlier this week and was fighting late stage cancer. It will be several weeks before the coroner releases any more information on Bob Saget.
Here’s a fun fact I just learned: Louie Anderson was originally cast with Bronson Pinchot in Perfect Strangers. When the show got picked up they didn’t feel the chemistry was right between Anderson and Pinchot and Anderson was replaced by Mark Linn-Baker. The Lou Appleton character became Larry Appleton and the show ran for eight seasons.

Thanks to generous listeners and fellow fans of Michael Spencer, I have added to my collection of podcast episodes over the years. I can’t go all the back to the beginning but I do have some early single digit episodes. Special thanks to “Eclectic Christian” Mike Bell for sharing these early installments.

I am not the world’s biggest sports fan but my readers know I follow two teams very closely, the Atlanta Braves MLB team and the SEC Georgia Bulldogs. Prior to this week, the last time the Bulldogs were national champions Jimmy Carter was still in office. (Reagan had been elected but not inaugurated as of New Year’s Day 1981).

Here is an interview with Michael Spencer from October of 2008. This is actually episode #2 of the brand new (at the time) SBC Voices podcast hosted by Tony Kummer. I’m not finding the Cornerstone 2009 interview/panel discussion right now but I may be able to go back into my own blog archives and pull it out. I will either post that next week or go back to iMonk Radio Podcast #5. I don’t have the first one but I do have ep’s 5 and 8 so down in the single digits.

We think it would be cooler if it said “samiches” but that’s fine.

Wait, what? We’re not saying that anymore? Lake Superior State University has released their annual list of the words and phrases most of us are tired of hearing and the rest of us need to drop. If Jimmy Humphrey were in fact to stop using at the end of the day the Jimmy’s Table podcast would drop from 30 minutes to only 10. While the list makes a humorous commentary on our culture at a given moment in time I do not recognize their authority in this matter. At the end of the day appeared on their list a decade ago and you may notice that people still say it. At best Lake Superior operates at an advisory capacity with no enforcement whatsoever.

This is the last episode of Internet Monk Radio. The broadcast is short and quite a bit of this one is music. Michael acknowledges being sick but going into the Advent season of 2009 he fully expected to get better.

Are you back to work this morning after a long weekend/Christmas vacation, or has weather extended your time off? It was pouring down rain in Los Angeles over the weekend, that was weird. Whatever the current conditions where you are, this is the first Monday of 2022 and we’re here to do the best we can with what we’ve got. This is Happy Monday #460.
