Strange Magic, Sad Illusions: An ELO-rical Letdown

This week on The Wednesday Night Podcast, we're tuning into the cosmic sounds of Electric Light Orchestra's "Face The Music," with a special spotlight on the wonderfully weird "Strange Magic." Prepare for soaring strings, Jeff Lynne's unmistakable vocals, and a generous serving of 1970s prog-pop goodness.

But hold on to your laser beams, because things are about to get… decidedly less magical. Inspired by the mystical vibes of ELO, Craig recounts his utterly underwhelming experience at a David Copperfield magic show in the dazzling (and apparently illusion-challenged) city of Las Vegas.

Prepare for tales of vanishing acts that didn't quite vanish, levitation that looked suspiciously like wires, and the crushing realization that maybe, just maybe, some "strange magic" is just… not that strange. Did Craig witness a true illusionist, or just a man with a fog machine and a questionable haircut?

So, dim the lights, put on your headphones, and join us for a journey from the symphonic heights of ELO to the disappointing depths of Vegas stage magic. It's a show that will leave you wondering if the real magic is just the ability to get through a mediocre performance.

The Lexicon of Love, Lawnmowers of London, and... Well, You'll See.

This week on The Wednesday Night Podcast, we're getting sophisticated (for about five seconds) as we delve into ABC's seminal album, "The Lexicon of Love." Prepare for lush orchestrations, Martin Fry's suave vocals, and a healthy dose of 80s romanticism.

But hold on tight, because this is The Wednesday Night Podcast, and things are about to take a sharp left turn. For reasons that will become... somewhat clear (or maybe not at all), this album somehow propels us into a deep discussion about the surprisingly competitive world of British lawn mowers. Yes, you read that right.

And because that wasn't bizarre enough, we'll also be pondering the musical contributions of Phil Collins (as one does) and, in a segment that we can only describe as "classic WNP," we'll be venturing into the uncharted territory of... anal scraping. Trust us, the connection (however tenuous) will be explained. Ish.

So, if you've ever wondered how ABC, gardening equipment, the drummer from Genesis, and a rather invasive medical procedure can possibly be linked, then you absolutely NEED to tune in. Your Wednesday night is about to get a whole lot weirder.

YMCA: Arizona Edition (and Other Locker Room Lore)

Remember Craig's wild tales of the Village People and his... interesting locker room encounters? Well, buckle up, because he's back with an update! Apparently, what happens in Arizona DOESN'T stay in Arizona, especially when Craig's involved.

This week, we're diving back into the chaotic world of Craig's past adventures, specifically focusing on the fallout from his previous revelations. Expect even more awkward anecdotes, questionable fashion choices, and maybe even a surprise appearance from a familiar Village People Hot Cop.

Think of this as a "director's cut" of the original episode, with all the deleted scenes and behind-the-scenes debauchery you never knew you needed. So, grab your sunscreen (and maybe a blindfold), and join us for a special short update episode that proves some stories are just too wild to stay buried in the desert.
