Aloha and welcome to your favorite Talk Shoe podcast!
Here’s today’s introduction:
Aloha, it’s just barely Aug. 18, 2008, in Hawaii, and welcome to episode 115 of Therefore a.m., the morning talk show that treats you like you’re already awake … it’s followup Monday … on today’s show … The latest from the Guns N’ Roses “Chinese Democracy” album hunt … rumors are the band has signed an exclusive deal with a big-box retailer to sell their long, long, long awaited album. Trying to imagine Axl in Walmart … “pickup on aisle 7,8,9 and 14 through 23.”

Plus, also in the UK, new driving laws going into effect treat careless drivers on cell phones the same way as careless drivers eating or careless drivers putting on makeup … they throw the same book at ‘em. Why, that’s so fair, it just might work!

And finally, that so-called Bigfoot in a freezer, turns out the DNA tests came back as human, and opossum. Ummm, sounds like my Uncle Thibideaux who lives in a swamp outside Lafayette after Saturday night roadkill gumbo.
