I would like to apologize to the entire British Empire for this one.

Another good podcast by "the Intercot's".

My favorite Disney transportation is Space Mountain since you load and unload at different places, it goes from point A to B. lol

Gary, I am TOTALLY with you on this one. I laughed when you said what you did. It's so true! I couldn't give a flying flip about this wedding.

Another fun podcast guys!

To further offend our friends across the pond, me neither! In fact, I can't fathom why anyone is interested ... outside of the UK that is.

I was glad that my topic idea(late night dining) was mentioned at the end of the show. Please contact me if you would like any clarifications.

Thanks

The thing about this royal wedding is that when girls my age (late 20s to early 30s) were 16 Prince William was one of THE biggest heart throbs in the late 90's and early 2000's. We dreamed of being in Kate Middleton's shoes, so now that he's getting married we want to watch all the pomp, circumstance, and fanfare and still wish it was us instead of Kate.

Thanks again for using my transportation idea, I am thrilled, even though it was mocked by Ian.

I really wouldn't expect anyone in your demographic to understand what the interest is.

I was obsessed with Charles and Diana. It's almost embarrassing how obsessed I was, cutting out pics from magazines, watching anything I could on them on TV, etc. I was 11 when they married and it was the whole princess, fairy tale thing that was exciting to me. Of course I followed their married life and awwwed at their cute baby boys. After all the tragedy of his parent's marriage and then mother's early death, I love that it seems William is truly marrying for love and is happy.

Touche', Mel.

No a very fair point ... As a dad to three girls I of all people should get the princess thing. Shame on me!

Also, I have to issue a clarification on a comment I made during this podcast. When we were doing our segment on the wedding Mel mentioned she still had a chance to be a princess and I made the comment, "I wouldn't want to be the prince!"

In listening back to it I realized it came off like a knock on Mel, but what I was actually saying was that Mel is married to a very large Marine and I wouldn't want to be in the prince's shoes when he came a callin'!

Sorry for the potential for misunderstanding there! Much love to Mel, even though she is a Lightning and a Braves fan.

[Melanie]

LOL Ian - that is hilarious! I should go back and listen (but I won't ), as I didn't catch that when we were taping. It's all good!

I was working out when I heard it and I almost fell off the treadmill! I was like, "Oh wow that didn't sound nice at all!"

Great podcast guys! I have to agree with the boys... I can't wait until this royal wedding thing is over. It's taking over our TV programing and I am not interested in the least.


I do hope he has a happy marriage however, he lost his mother as a child, has great privilege but seems to stay out of trouble.

It's like anything in the news, for example, the Super Bowl doesn't hold interest for everyone either and it certainly dominates the media for a few weeks every year.

Ooh. Ready for this? I don't care about that either unless I have a pony in the race.

Actually this may shock, but I'm pretty much with Gary on this. I'm not a big fan of "THE SUPER BOWL" ... to me it's just the last football playoff game and if my team is in. If not? Meh .......

I agree and I do feel sorry for anyone who doesn't have a parent alive to see them get married. But this is like watching political ads-- I have no interest and will be happy when its over.

Wasn't really my point. TV ratings alone show what a popular event the Super Bowl is, but still, not for everyone.

Actually, political elections are another good example, and they take up WAY more "TV programming" than this royal wedding has. It's not that I don't care about our government and who is running it, but the media goes way overboard with it.

Murray Head was okay, but I want to hear John sing Flock of Seagulls on the next episode.
