Listener Submission

From: Andrew E (andrewe on the forum)

I am writing to the podcast about an experience I had involving Green Day (and hoping that you guys will read this email on the podcast). At my school, I am on the cross country running team as a grade 11 boy and for my age category, I have to run seven kms. I was recently at a large cross counrty meet several days ago for all the high schools from Ontario, and as I was running my race, I passed a section of the course where the organisers had set up speakers and were playing music. As I ran by the speakers, I heard the song "Know Your Enemy playing!" This cheered me up hugely and gave me a much needed extra burst of energy. As I neared the final stretch of the race, we had to run up a huge ski hill twice, which really sucked. However, I kept the song playing in my head and made it up the hill the second time, passing a lot of people on the way. During the last 500 meters, we ran down another hill, and I was trying to pass the runner in front of me, but he wouldn't let me. He kept cutting me off. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to pass him before the finish, when I suddenly was struck with a brilliant idea. I yelled "DO YOU KNOW YOUR ENEMY?!?!" and he turned around, looking very surprised, stumbled and fell. I was able to pass him and I finished 144 out of 514 boys. I have a few more meets in the near future and I hope that I don't run into him but if I do, I'm sure it won't be too much of a problem.

Great to hear a fellow Aussie on the podcast :)

I'm pretty sure Billie wrote "Reject" in reply to the letter he received from the grandma about Insomniac that Aska was referring to.

I just started laughing out loud at the title of this episode :lol:

I'll listen to this tonight; I'm looking forward to it already :thumbsup:

Everyone talks about John Lennon's birthday and forget about The Ox. :( It was John Entwistle's birthday that day too (he's exactly 4 years younger than Lennon) but of course he isn't JOHN LENNON. -sighs- Okay, my sad semi-rant is over.

Alex, didn't you tell us the Iron Maiden story before? I feel like you talked about that tour story before. You guys could hold it together without Andres and Aussie accents are kick-ass. :thumbsup:

EDIT: OH and Story Time was amazing with the music and the title, "It's Story Time with Alex and his Dulcet Tones."

it was a great show guys! It was nice to hear another Aussie accent!

Posted

just started to listen to it. my voice sounds strange to me but that's to be expected I guess.

I love the 'GDA NEWS' sound effect

Posted

awesome job. Really enjoyed listening to it. All 3 of you did fantastic.

Listening to this makes me miss aska, she lives in my state damn it! haha. Great show guys :happy:

I got teary hearing you talk about my vest.

The way he looked at me when he said goodbye :cry:

I keep adding little things to this post as the podcast continues in my ear.

But I just wanted to add, Aska was struggling to find the word for Glasgow and how we feel about those few shows where the boys were flat, we are jaded! I think I'm using that word correctly...

Those few shows, Wembley, Glasgow, Dublin, the guys were really really emotional and sick. it was a weird and depressing experience.

Indeed it did!

Cool show guys. I liked the speculation around the next album and hearing you guys talk about tour experiences, always good.
