In this episode we discover that to our relief it’s the last one, ever, until the series is somehow resumed at some point. Kevin has a cold, and he and Tony couldn’t persuade cast members and others to keep doing all this work for free. So, first, we end with the beginning, “Verne Windham, Radio Trickster,” which explains how program director Verne Windham was persuaded to give Tony and Kevin a time slot all those years ago. You guessed it: lies and deception. Next, a commercial for “Men in Charge Holiday Gift Ideas,” though by the time you hear it, you’ll probably be too late for this year. After that, the fifth and final episode of “FCSI!”: “Fertile Crescent Sumerian Investigation,” which offers an advance in Babylonian police interrogation/torture techniques! Last, it’s the tenth and final “Pox & Phlegm,” with our very white Pox News commentators interviewing some Florida governor on a War on Christmas Counter-Offensive. But if you’re listening to the podcast version, you can hear two bonus (!) segments: “Deirdre and Sleestak 2,” the British buddy comedy part-reptiloid cop show, and a commercial for “Benign Crime,” now with extra reification!
Tony Flinn, known around the model railroad track in his basement as “Professor of English, Emeritus,” recently retired from Eastern Washington University to age in place, like an old car up on blocks in the barn, convenient for climbing behind the wheel and saying “Vroom! Vroom!” He and his co-host and co-producer, Kevin Decker, have been writing and performing in “Men in Charge” since probably 2014, or even earlier, depending on whether you’re using the Julian or Gregorian calendar.
Kevin Decker, Professor of Philosophy, was left holding the bag when Tony Flinn recently retired from Eastern Washington University. That bag was full of cats. At first, he thought they were cute, but then they woke up and started mauling him. It turned out that the cats were mountain lion cubs, often referred to incorrectly as “cougars.” One had rabies. From his now-permanent hospital bed, Kevin writes for and co-produces “Men in Charge,” the title of which may or may not be ironic
