Episode Fifty Four: "You have exactly eight hours and fifty-four minutes to think about why you're here."

This week's show is in overdrive! We managed to do a two hour show in an hour and a half!

Topics discussed include, Nazi hunting, Legos, weird rain patterns, the Influence of the church on the inner workings of Brazil, 75 to 80 votes to pass health care reform, tolerance, the terror alert scale, Barney Frank, "I want my country back," why tolerance is not such a good word to use, True Blood, Weeds, some older movies, and of course, listener feedback.

By the way, what I said was going to be on the end of the show, is not at the end of the show. It's actually something else, but it's just as funny.

Music this week is from:
Guano Apes - "Open Your Eyes"
Dethklok - "Fansong"
Metallica - "Through the Never"
Jane's Addiction - "No One is Leaving (live)"

Below, are the quotes that I found regarding John Hughes.

Molly Ringwald: "I was stunned and incredibly sad to hear about the death of John Hughes. He was and will always be such an important part of my life. He will be missed – by me and by everyone that he has touched. My heart and all my thoughts are with his family now."


Macauley Culkin: "I was a fan of both his work and a fan of him as a person. The world has lost not only a quintessential filmmaker whose influence will be felt for generations, but a great and decent man."


Matthew Broderick: "I am truly shocked and saddened by the news about my old friend John Hughes. He was a wonderful, very talented guy and my heart goes out to his family."


Steve Martin: "I asked John how long it took to write 'Planes, Trains & Automobiles,' he said, 'I wrote it over the weekend.' The weekend. That shows you what he was able to do."


Judd Apatow: "I feel like a part of my childhood has died. Nobody made me laugh harder or more often than John Hughes."


Roger Ebert: "His films helped establish an international notion of ordinary American teenagers, and he was as popular abroad as at home. Once when I was visiting the largest movie theater in Calcutta, I asked if 'Star Wars' had been their most successful American film. No, I was told, it was 'Baby's Day Out,' a Hughes comedy about a baby wandering through a big city, which played for more than a year."


Kelly LeBrock: "He was always the biggest kid in the room. He was always running around with high top sneakers with no laces in them because he didn't want to trip on his laces because he'd never tie them. He was just one of the boys and everybody loved being around him. He was a wonderful human being to work with. I loved him like crazy."


Bill Paxton: "He took a tremendous chance on me. Like Orson Welles, he was a boy wonder, a director's director, a writer's writer, a filmmaker's filmmaker. He was one of the giants."


Ben Stein: "He was a wonderful man, a genius, a poet. I don't think anyone has come close to him as being the poet of the youth of America in the postwar period. He was to them what Shakespeare was to the Elizabethan Age."
