Just to make things clear, I wasn't aware that Manny was going to "man the knobs" so quickly and, yes, the podcast starts out talking about burping. Our grand intro -- ruined. But Question Boy (Chronicle media writer Joe Garofoli) plays Ed McMahon. And we do a bunch of stupid voices -- undaunted by last week's miserable impersonations. Including: My really bad version of Charley from "Maisy." I promise to go back to "Maisy" and get it right for next week. We also talk kids shows (Dora: loud; non-animated kids: precocious). Some anger. Groundhog Day fashion statement? Sensing the advent of spring, one of us trots out a leaner bod and a tighter robe. Need more? Bong hits. New neighborhood slang ("the Moan"). A salute to "Mister Rogers." Women who swear: "Hot." The phrase "It's almost like we planned this." Plus: We did plan one thing. And it went sideways. Also: Bleeps, and lots o' them. Lastly: The return of "hind quarters/hind parts."
