Paul Bertolino has moved to New York and played music along the way. Paul tells of touring with TORNADO RIDER at places like the DOUBLE DOOR in Chicago, hanging out at VILLAGE INNS in Denver, watching families torn asunder and watches DIRTY HARRY for the first time. Gordie doesn't pay attention to the weather, yet talks waaaaaaaaay too long about it and laughs a bunch. We wrap things up with NAPA nostalgia around the Bicentennial and PETER FRAMPTON and DAYS ON THE GREEN.

Gordie welcomes JORDAN PHEGLEY to the podcast community in a story of how 11 O 'CLOCK COMICS brings people together. (...no, seriously.) Jordan grows up without TRANSFORMERS and G.I. JOE, but loves old timey radio. Reads STUCK RUBBER BABY, has an altar to MORRISSEY and is going to be a father soon. Gordie reads THE BIBLE ...again, loves TONY MILLIONAIRE, thanks Jordan for exposing him to ANTONY & THE JOHNSTONS and doesn't know how to PARTY IN THE U.S.A. They finish up with dog attack stories while on the job and pledge to record many GORDCASTS.

Gordie checks in with Paul Bertolino on his New York summer. Gordie discovers new music from the sixties, (...yet again) makes another new friend and is okay with Ryan Adams. Paul has taken to wearing a beard, just like everybody else in NY and reveals MOBYS new metal band with fellow pal PHIL COSTELLO. DIAMONDSNAKE! We both decide that there is no need for an A-TEAM movie and look forward to a time of new ideas in Hollywood.

It's back to the usual format when Paul Bertolino joins Gordie from New York, to talk about fallen heroes and soon to be fallen heroes. Paul sees The New York Dolls, Hanoi Rocks' Michael Monroe and sings in the streets with the homeless. Gordie runs into a Sasquatch in Portland, gets stuck in Utah and has zero tolerance for uninformed Christian fanatics. They both mourn Ronnie James Dio and tell how he effected us through the ages. Paul finishes up with reading Ozzys biography and we welcome new listeners and their comments.

Gordie meets and interviews John Siuntres from Word Balloon, for the first time! (...beamed in from the Boom Tube or surfing on cosmic waves.) The conversation is super comic book centric, while dipping in and out of sports talk, movie talk and who's the oldest guy in the room. John admits he is not a gardener, nor a fisherman, but loves being a city guy and gives Gordie tips on how to rule the podcast waves. Gordie meets celebrities,gave up on comics, stayed cool with Love and Rockets, Cerebus, Arthur Adams and fails his own test on old time hockey conferences. They both agree that Breaking Bad and Precious (based on the novel Push by Sapphire) are tough to watch, but Schindler's List can be enjoyed? more than once. EC comics, Jack Davis, Jason Aaron, Al Feldstein, Chris Neseman, Brubaker and wonder of wonders... Bendis gets mentioned. This one goes longer than usual, but we just kept going. Just listen and enjoy! Welcome new listeners!

Gordie is joined by his mom, RUTH ADAMS! We begin the conversation with EC COMICS talk and why Ruth and Gordie turned out the way they did. Ruths mom goes into scary neighborhoods to spread the Planned Parenthood gospel in the 50's, Ruth gets married and moves to California. Gordie puts a bean up his nose, digs a hole and gets his Halloween candy stolen. (...again.) Ruth remembers waking up Christmas morning with a fully decorated tree, confuses "Special Olympics" with "Cub Scout Olympics" and goes for a walk in the sunshine. QUEEN at the beginning and end.

Paul Bertolino and Gordie begin by discussing the re-opening of the fabled UPTOWN THEATER in Napa. Gordie doesn't know who to obsess about, mentors kids at the skatepark and their cassette tape making and watches BIG FAN. Paul buys DVD sets from the 70's and has met BRIAN POSEHN less times than Gordie has, even though his roommate is friends with him. PAUL SINGS! Gordie "tweaks his amp" and we forget to talk about W.A.S.P. til after the outro.

Paul Bertolino is rocking the nation once again, mere minutes before taking the stage. Paul can't wait to get out of the hotel room, reveals the guy who wore the cape at Napa High and still doesn't have TV (...even if the WHO are playing at the Super Bowl) Gordie tells of fan recognition, likes the ANVIL documentary, watches the Super Bowl Halftime Show, realizes that KISS is the Sinatra of his generation and would appreciate some sort of feedback. (...Comedy after the outro.)

Gordie is joined by Nathan Alfaro and Adam Sullivan in picturesque Petaluma CA to discuss the super-special, ultimate directors cut of WATCHMEN. Adam builds a C3PO model and then destoys it. Nathan encourages Gordie to watch 30 Rock. Kids say the darndest things and Gordie is nearly finished with Battlestar Gattica. We all get the details of SUPERMAN IV wrong and we wrap up with opinions of the new STAR TREK movie. (NERD-FEST!) ...technical issues occured, making some weird edits, but enjoy never the less.

Gordie plays Twister with his babysitter, forgets the order of Prince's LP catalog and reveals what band just doesn't thrill him anymore. Nathan Alfaro busts in on the conversation and is choppy at times. (Something about Gene Simmons and Stryper?) We all agree that Nickelback is less than to be desired and finally, Paul and Gordie get Styx album art confused.

Gordie walks out on Bob Dylan and atones for it now and Paul still hates Sting. Bob Dylan takes a walk in Jersey and Alice Cooper wants your wallet. Last of all, Gordie hates that one guy.

Nathan Alfaro finally joins the Gordcast legion. Gordie reacts to a CD of songs provided by Nathan, hasn't finished Battlestar Gallactica and never was in a band as a teenager. Nathan gets his degree in Sociology, goes to Disneyland and gets a mani/pedi. Maria shows up sporadically and we all agree on Paul Stanley's dancing.

Bridget goes to court with Michael Jackson, helps jocks with book reports and looses Russians. They both spend way to much time on feminine hygiene products and just don't get Hooters.

Paul finally finds a current TV show he likes, Tony is mistaken for Trevor Rabin, explains Gumby to his wife and Gordie ruins coffee for quality control. They all discuss Sid & Marty Krofft, the KISS solo LP's which segues into The White Album and Tony won't stop with The Beatles already. Finally we "wrap" with auto erotic asphyxiation.

Tom Beland finally joins me to talk about comics, comics, comics. Gordie admits that he isn't exactly sure where Puerto Rico is on a map. Tom tells of sharing Gwen Stacy's death at the dinner table, how Alan Moore intimidates him and that he couldn't write a Kang story if you paid him. This is a longer than usual episode and we get very silly and rambly, so have fun! (At 1:21 I missed an edit and am too lazy to go back and fix it right now, so skip to 1:23 or enjoy the song.)
