An Earful Of Convoy/cocktail

The Cocktail Gang gets "Wild Again" as we set off on a new podtail... or should we say "pod tale"! After all, we have a Whale of a Story to share with you: the story of brash, young, scared military man Brian Flanagan and his dreams of owning the city of New York, one spinning bottle of liquor at a time. New features are debuted: "Drink of the Ep", "Flair in the Air", and "Who Let the Spoilers Out?". We pick apart the film’s depiction of masculinity in the 1980s, fill you in on the latest news and gossip about Gilles Gothic, examine the roots of George W. Bush’s imperialist aims, and check up on your favorite Long Island City subway stops. As we’ve always said, there has to be a crossroad, a place to draw the line. And as always, we attempt to answer the question, "what is theirs and what is mine?" The answer may surprise you.

PARTY EP

In the FFF (final full five), Earful is cut short by ten minutes due to baseball, but the Convoy crew perseveres with their unique style of controlled individualism―through asking the tough questions ("Why does Dirty Lyle Laugh?" "How did Duck grow a beard?"), and substantial research into Jonty Rhodes. For the second-to-last-time, we wish you a thumbs-up goodbye. (This episode brought to you by our new sponsor, vipfaq.)

As it happens to all Peckinpah protagonists, death comes to Rubber Duck. But the Konvoy Krew are alive and well; smashing, crashing, and analyzing the death of Duck at the hands of Lyle, the Texas governor, greenies, and purploids. Some fun on-air forum registration, some misplaced CDs, but mostly an embarrassment of analysis―was it correct for the Texas National Guard soldiers to run directly at their own machine gun? Would sand have been better? Let us be the judge! Steady progress towards finishing a Chip Davis email, challenging non-linear literature is explored in a plus-sized Pageful of Convoy segment, and special notes by "St Louis Dump Trucks". He lets us know what ol' Ernie Borgnine had to say about Fish Costumes, and tells about the director's cut of Convoy THE ESTABLISHMENT doesn't want you to know about.

#GetWoke with the Convoy gang as we adjudicate canon in an action-packed episode: Duck gets separated, Pigpen crashes/mumbles, and the Bear gets into the Hardware. But importantly, we follow the money and see how deep it goes. Go Blue Pillin' with the Convoy gang and see how careless trucking causes wrecks. Go Red Pillin' with the Convoy gang and see how Steve Chasey Love coerced crowds of schoolchildren to their almost certain death. How many schoolchildren? We count! So sit back, buy a drinko, and try not to get too hot-blooded When Melissa Shrugs. Not featuring the famous segment "The Convoy Gang Writes An Email".

A meaty chunk of Convoy analysis for all the Convoyheads out there! Alan and Hervey really expore the social and political implications of the 19th five minutes, finding a surprisingly coherent anarcho-syndicalist message. (Maybe Old Sam was a good Union Man after all!) Meanwhile, we discuss the hypothetical sequel (Convoy 2: Mr Duck Goes to Washington), get our hands dirty with "Cannon Fodder", eat some matzoh, and apply the appropriate amount of hand-wringing for our part in normalizing President-Elect Trump. But ultimately, we must never forget, it's *Melissa's Five Minutes*.

In an episode that critics are calling "overlong", the Earful gang picks apart the 18th five minutes of Convoy in very much the same way that Rubber Duck and pals pick apart Alvarez, Texas. Updates on a new feud with Chip Davis's publicists, comparisons with the Wild Bunch, C.W. McCall's surprising net worth, and the holidays. We get expert insight into the rules of Crazy Eights with Shiney (Don't Call Me Spider) Mike, and give you evergreen updates on the battle between the American League and National League. If you don't listen to the last half hour, we won't hold it against you!

The way podcasts were meant to be recorded: with a majority of its fans in the studio with them. The Earful gang is joined by F'guest #1 and Amy as they dive into the seedy world of politics. Will Duck be a good People's Leader? What will that even mean? Will it make a good sitcom? Featuring fan-favorite games "Have You Shaken Hands with Your Dad?" and "Must One Sacrifice the Individual for the Cause of the Common Purpose?" #FinishStrong

Haskins, Haskins! Here comes Haskins! And here comes Earful of Convoy: ep 16! As Duck and Melissa finally consummate their relationship, the Earful crew disambiguates Carousels from Merry-Go-Rounds, picks apart anniversary gifts, and empathizes with the political mobs of Trucker Heaven. Comes complete with our long-awaited analysis of "Around the World with the Rubber Duck"!

We enter the episode 1 AD (after Dog Brothers) by journeying through Truckers' Heaven and Truckers' Hell in order to bring you these lacklustre five minutes. Kris Kristofferson performs lazy improv (????), Dirty Lyle navigates a harried timeline off-screen, and the governor's staff stands around looking evil. We elide 60 pages of terrible Pageful, discuss a deleted scene in "Darlene2Darlene", and experiment by performing some fun new music, live on air.

We interview the Dog Brothers.

In this episode, subtitled "The Education of Chuck Arnoldi", we bring you the latest in celebrity net worth, hypothesize what Convoy would be like without Melissa (not much difference), and even find time for our favorite segment, "Looking Up Things on Wikipedia." The real treasure here is Exhibit A, the interview with the Dog Brothers, which is roaring up your podcast feed right now. So listen in: we won't talk to you like a child.

Much in the manner of Kvothe's search for blue fire, the Earful gang rolls up into the second hour of Convoy in search of truth in this exciting Monday episode. And much in the manner of Kvothe enacting justice againsts schoolmate Ambrose by summoning the wind (after first learning its name), the Earful gang summons the Dog Brothers by writing an email to the Dog Brothers in the hit segment "We Write an Email to the Dog Brothers." And much in the manner of Kvothe's dogged research questioning all that humanity knows about the nature of the Chandrian, the Earful gang questions everything about Convoy in this veritable "Episode of Questions". Tune in, drop out, and Pull a Kvothe yourself! (ding)

We check the audio fidelity so you don't have to.

Wellcome Beecham Beckham! In this episode of Earful of Convoy, feuds become final, Rubber Duck becomes explosive, and we answer some of the tough questions: What is the difference between binary and binary-encoded decimal? What is the difference between a majority, a super-majority, and a plurality? Can we read the phase diagram for nitromannite? Did we manage to snag a ticket for the last performance of the marvelous "Hamilton" by that magnificent bard, Lin-Manuel Miranda? And just how much IS that doggie in the window? Featuring the famous new segment "With Fresh Eyes".

An embarrassment of riches in this jam-packed episode: a bonus Kristofferson movie (Semi-Tough), real-life audio clips of our arch-nemeses (the Dog Brothers), and of course two solid hours of Alan and Hervey's patented "Convoy-Analysis". Shall thou put the pedal to the metal? Is the Duck keeping the Sabbath holy? We consult the bible for clues! But more importantly, a new verse from C.W. McCall emerges, and His Words are parsed with care. The weight of pedals, applicability of federal law, fish costume updates from RD himself, titular bears in the air, and a special guest. It's feuding time!

Some Vengaboys analysis leads this very special episode of Earful of Convoy; as Lyle gets the perfect squeeze, we talk physics, analyze figs, and pick apart IMDB-alleged 'gay references'. But that's not all-- McDonalds slogans galore, and we employ email to answer the Fish Costumes questions you all want to know. And taking the Dog Brothers to task-- yes! A podcoy about nothing? I think not!

For those who found our podcast by checking the top search results for "convoy podcast" on DuckDuckGo, welcome to this happy place! Sad news today about the Princess, but we power on as Duck and the rest of the convoy powers on through a veritable dust bowl. Hosts Hervey and Alan are possibly caked up as they struggle to distinguish Pomp and Circumstance from La Marseillaise. Slightly more coherent dialogue about Convoy's role as an exploration of masculinity in the late '70s; Radcliffe girls will find much to like.

A few teeth less, but five minutes more! The Krafty Konvoy Krew put down their book, man, and meet Bob Bookman, a certain police officer who Hates Truckers. Siding against him, the radio crew recaps the thrills and spills, and Holy Jumpers!, there are plenty. Billboards, bears, and Bookmen, what more kould Konvoy (k)fans (k)want?

Time to break out your reading glasses! The paperback for Convoy ("the biggest book ever") has arrived, and you know what that means... Pageful of Convoy time! Duck is offering coffee to Melissa, as Dirty Lyle drives angrily for quite a while. This super-sized ep features cameos from Pizza Hut, Kate Middleton, Old Iguana, and a great deal on 22 liters of shells, and we have screenwriter B.W.L. Norton (in book form) to help us decode it all! And speaking of shells, Hervey has a bombshell that may change the way you view birthday boy Rubber Duck forever. Also featuring hit gameshow Guess the Pagecount!
