Whedonesque : Comments on 11920 : Joss Whedon interview on Fanboy Radio.

They are playing the Buffy theme at the moment. Cute!

And an entire hour of Whedon-related music.

Oh dear God. Did that female announcer say JOSH Whedon??

::Dies::

Haha, they have an hour of Joss Whedon talk and music before he joins. Great stuff. The presenter thinks he is his alter ego Josh, though.

gossi | November 27, 03:03 CET

Fangirls? JOSH Whedon. Kill me.

hitnrun017 | November 27, 03:03 CET

I think one of them has realised..

gossi | November 27, 03:04 CET

Somebody call her up ... NOW!

Tonya J | November 27, 03:04 CET

ROFL...Why didn't he tell us he changed his name?

jenofthejungle | November 27, 03:04 CET

Somebody call her up ... NOW!

You know, I actually debated about doing that. But then decided I'm not THAT sad. Not yet.

gossi | November 27, 03:05 CET

If they are fangirls, do they know we're talking about them RIGHT THIS VERY MINUTE.

Oooh, Firefly theme.

theonetruebix | November 27, 03:05 CET

I like this already. "Burn the land and boil the see...you can't take the sky from me..."

hitnrun017 | November 27, 03:06 CET

You know, here's a question you can chew on before ~~Josh~~Joss comes on since the musical is playing.

In the guide to The Chosen, Joss lists his favorite episodes. I was very surprised to find that OMWF is not among them. I would think it would have been right up there.

(Just started rewatching the collection from Season 2 on)

Tonya J | November 27, 03:08 CET

If they are fangirls, do they know we're talking about them RIGHT THIS VERY MINUTE.

Yes, they have CCTV cameras in all our PCs. They totally stole that idea from Joss, though.

Is the stream breaking for anybody else? The interview hasn't even started yet!

gossi | November 27, 03:08 CET

He chose episode thats he didn't write/direct.

hitnrun017 | November 27, 03:08 CET

I predict this will be Whedonesque's biggest topic.

gossi | November 27, 03:09 CET

Ah, thanks hitnrun - still, I think it's a crowning achievement for him.

Tonya J | November 27, 03:11 CET

I love this song! One of my favorite Buffy and Faith moments.

No Problem Tonya.

hitnrun017 | November 27, 03:14 CET

Ah, this is bringing back So. Many. Memories.

gossi | November 27, 03:18 CET

It really is. Which is weird considering I and probably lots of others here watch a couple episodes daily on dvd.

And did anyone notice that they turned the song after it said a 'naughty' word?

hitnrun017 | November 27, 03:19 CET

I gotta say - I'm enjoying reading what you guys are all saying about the pre-show! Keep it up, please??? :-)

Stay awake gossi! You're almost there!!!

QueenBee | November 27, 03:21 CET

Yeah, the radio station is a Christian university station, so I doubt they want to be broadcasting the naughty words.

gossi | November 27, 03:22 CET

whedonesque could use a chat room feature right about now. :)

RavenU | November 27, 03:28 CET

Ok, I didn't know that. Now I do. Thanks!

hitnrun017 | November 27, 03:28 CET

There's the entirely unofficial #whedonesque on EFnet.

gossi | November 27, 03:30 CET

Whee! Cibo Matto! Just watched that episode earlier today.

Tonya J | November 27, 03:30 CET

There's the entirely unofficial #whedonesque on EFnet.

But there's this scary guy in there.

theonetruebix | November 27, 03:31 CET

lalala......lalalalala
Love this one....

jenofthejungle | November 27, 03:33 CET

I love the Cibo Matto song. There something so eery about it.

Is anyone else having trouble connecting?

BlindHawkeyes | November 27, 03:33 CET

Nop, what's exactly the problem?

Este | November 27, 03:35 CET

Why don't I have any of these cd's(although I do have OMWF)?????? Which one should I get first ...any suggestions?

jenofthejungle | November 27, 03:36 CET

Nope, my connection's good -- WMP on a Mac via wireless...

I'm at the ready...

ETA: BlindHawkeyes, maybe it's something folks here can help with...

delirium_haze | November 27, 03:36 CET

Both of the Soundtracks are great. But I think the UK version of Radio Sunnydale is the best.

hitnrun017 | November 27, 03:37 CET

Yeah! I'm on!!

Harmalicious | November 27, 03:38 CET

jenofthejungle - there's two Buffy soundtrack CDs, I think. They're both full of goodness.

gossi | November 27, 03:38 CET

The stream seems to be already overpopulated! get of the damn stream now... I want to listen to it too, and I stayed up really late, just to be able to listen to josh (aeh joss)!!!
hope anyone will transcribe the one hour josh(aeh, joss)-goodness.
nighty-night!

bookworm | November 27, 03:39 CET

test test microphone ... test. Is Josh Whedon on? Hoo-boy.

STOP IT STOP IIIIIIIIIIT - for the Love of God.

Tonya J | November 27, 03:40 CET

(bookworm, I'll transcribe at least a portion of it... within the next day or so...)

QuoterGal | November 27, 03:42 CET

Ugh! It's bugging me a lot! Joss better set them on the right track when he arrives.

hitnrun017 | November 27, 03:42 CET

Resisting the urge to phone them and tell them the guys name. Really, I'm not sad. I think. Twitches.

gossi | November 27, 03:42 CET

Then they play a song from the movie "Buffy" - do they want him to call in or not.... I mean that might scare him off.

RavenU | November 27, 03:43 CET

I sent Scott an email asking for permission to rebroadcast the interview on Firefly Talk, so if anyone can't get on the stream tonight, hopefully we'll be getting permission for that.

erico | November 27, 03:44 CET

I love this one

Este | November 27, 03:45 CET

I think one of them is pronouncing it right but other one is not.

delirium_haze | November 27, 03:45 CET

Who's the little fear demon?....mwwwaaaahhhh!

Harmalicious | November 27, 03:47 CET

This is exactly like listening to my iPod.

hitnrun017 | November 27, 03:47 CET

What, no music from Alien: Resurrection?

theonetruebix | November 27, 03:47 CET

quotergal, if I wouldn't have adored you before, now would be the time to start the quotergal-worship, including a shrine of reasonable size (everything has to be kept in proportion to the other ones...), candle-lighting every day, and including you in my nightly prayers...

bookworm | November 27, 03:47 CET

(I think whedonesque servers are getting a little slammed...)

QuoterGal | November 27, 03:48 CET

Yeah, Eric. Hope they agree.
As long as Scott pronounces his name right, it is all good.

Lioness | November 27, 03:48 CET

*blushes* Shucks...

QuoterGal | November 27, 03:49 CET

What, no music from Alien: Resurrection?

Bwah!

gossi | November 27, 03:49 CET

I'll sing it for you, gossi...

ETA: *waves at Lioness and onetruebix, too...

QuoterGal | November 27, 03:50 CET

Nevermind, got it with WMP for Mac. Thanks guys!

BlindHawkeyes | November 27, 03:51 CET

The theme tune to Alien: Resurrection:

Aliens! Aliens!
Aliens!
Creepy Human Alien!
That Makes Cat Noises!
Aliens!
Gooey Alien Worst SFX ever!
Sucked out of spaceship!
Joke!
End!

gossi | November 27, 03:53 CET

Oh fun, I tuned in ten minutes early to be sure it was working, and Buffy starts singing 'Give Me Something To Sing About!'. What fun! I hope ~~Josh~~ Joss has something more interesting things to talk about than the lame questions I've seen posted so far (not that I had any good ones to suggest).

embers | November 27, 03:53 CET

I cannot believe this thread has fifty-four posts already.

daylight | November 27, 03:53 CET

I love the minor chords in this song. Hi QG!

Lioness | November 27, 03:54 CET

Gosh, this is such a great song. I'm so glad SMG decided to sing it herself, wouldn't have had half the effect with dubbing. :)

cabri | November 27, 03:54 CET

maybe she has a speech impediment???

jenofthejungle | November 27, 03:55 CET

By the way, is anyone else recording this? If I do get permission to air it on the podcast, it'd be nice to know I have a backup if "something happens" to my connection.

erico | November 27, 03:55 CET

Which episode is this one from???

Harmalicious | November 27, 03:55 CET

Amazing song gossi. I got all teary eyed.

OOOO! PAIN! Me loves this song.

hitnrun017 | November 27, 03:55 CET

God, I love the song "Pain" -- it's my "driving song"...

QuoterGal | November 27, 03:56 CET

Gee, this is turning into quite the party! ::goes to cook some Ghiradelli brownies for all::

QueenBee | November 27, 03:56 CET

Is this Oz's band

Harmalicious | November 27, 03:57 CET

Not recording it -- gonna download mp3 from iTunes or Fanboy...

QuoterGal | November 27, 03:57 CET

(oops, there went the "f___")

QuoterGal | November 27, 03:57 CET

Yup, "Dingos"...

QuoterGal | November 27, 03:58 CET

Wow. This reminds me of that Whedon for Kerry event and everyone was trying to find out if he (Joss not the Democratic nominee) was going to do the X-Men 3 movie. Whedonesque's finest moment TM.

Simon | November 27, 03:58 CET

Yes I'm recording it just in case something happens on their end, it's been known to happen.

erico | November 27, 03:58 CET

erico, also presuming I have no connection drops, I'll have it.

theonetruebix | November 27, 03:58 CET

Thanks, QG -smack.

Harmalicious | November 27, 03:58 CET

1 minute!!!

hitnrun017 | November 27, 03:59 CET

Yes, today we're trying to find out if Joss is doing... uhm. I don't know. A book! That's it.

This actually reminds me of the New Year 2006 topic, where we all argued about The Matrix and then Joss came online and posted at insane-o hour, and I felt slightly more cool as a result.

gossi | November 27, 04:00 CET

And whether Buffy committed suicide. Joss set us straight on that too. yes sir! Good times.

Lioness | November 27, 04:01 CET

Hey!!?? Lift-off?

QuoterGal | November 27, 04:01 CET

Oh Spike. Be still my heart.

Tonya J | November 27, 04:02 CET

It's past 6! Come on, come on!!

Harmalicious | November 27, 04:03 CET

QuoterGal | November 27, 04:05 CET

Music yes, good, fun, but but.... JOSS!

hitnrun017 | November 27, 04:05 CET

Wow busy thread... are we trying for a new record?
Anyway, working on my nanowrimo story, soon listening to a cool interview... I love the invention of the net.

Kessie | November 27, 04:05 CET

I do like the Dandy Warhols. I remember buying this single.

Simon | November 27, 04:06 CET

This is such a tease. I thought for sure the Firefly theme was going to be Joss's intro since they played it earlier too. :(

cabri | November 27, 04:06 CET

OK, when was *this* song on Buffy?

Harmalicious | November 27, 04:06 CET

How long before they announce that Joss can't call into the show because his fans have jammed the studio's phonelines?

theonetruebix | November 27, 04:06 CET

We're placing bets that Joss can't get through due to fellow fans jamming the phone lines. :o)

gossi | November 27, 04:06 CET

*holds up lit lighter and cell-phone*

QuoterGal | November 27, 04:06 CET

Episode 11 Season 5, Triangle. When Spike and Xander are talking to Olaf.

AND FINALLY!

hitnrun017 | November 27, 04:06 CET

I wonder if we could sponsor a radio show.

Simon | November 27, 04:07 CET

Thanks, hitnrun017!

Harmalicious | November 27, 04:08 CET

*patiently waits for Joss*

QuoterGal | November 27, 04:09 CET

You'd be amazed how many people think his name is Josh Whedon.

Heh, I was thinking the same thing, Harmalicious.

And a Whedonesque shout-out.

Lady Brick | November 27, 04:10 CET

Hey! We got mentioned! We rule!

Simon | November 27, 04:10 CET

jenofthejungle: Maybe she has a speech impediment???

Maybe. Seems to only kick in when she says 'Joss'. ;)

cabri | November 27, 04:11 CET

Yes, I would care for him. I would feed him. I would not bathe him. Not my job, plus Kai would kill me.

Tonya J | November 27, 04:11 CET

Ack, ack, "Gonerians". Heh.

theonetruebix | November 27, 04:12 CET

I ain't calling. I will sound like a complete idiot. I would give him smelly good soap though :)

Harmalicious | November 27, 04:12 CET

*Hee-hee, Gonerians... accepts full responsibility*

QuoterGal | November 27, 04:13 CET

He could have our spare room...

QuoterGal | November 27, 04:14 CET

So is "Gonerians" now official?

QueenBee | November 27, 04:15 CET

What is so appealing about Joss's work? Is he kidding? Joss is brilliant.
Buffy the Watcher, lol.

cheryl | November 27, 04:15 CET

Simon how about doing a whedonesque podcast?

I've been told I have a wonderful Northern Irish accent.

Simon | November 27, 04:15 CET

I'm actually finding this killing-time discussion interesting :)

Lady Brick | November 27, 04:16 CET

I know, Joss can just come to this thread, and we'll call in his answers to the show.

theonetruebix | November 27, 04:17 CET

Simon is now our podcast mod. I'll do a series on Harmony. Idiot or Just Misunderstood? We'll discuss.

Harmalicious | November 27, 04:17 CET

I think there's no need for an official, name, but then, I lean towards a healthy anarchism...

QuoterGal | November 27, 04:17 CET

Killtime! Killtime! Killtime!

They're doing quite well with it.

Tonya J question!

Well, joining you guys here, because despite all my begging and pleading, I couldn't get the stream to start -- something about a plug in -- QuoterGal, erico and Fanboy mp3 downloads, I'm relying on all of you to transcribe, rebroadcast and download for me later, because I'm cryin' at the moment (in a manly way). Joss's kids and Amy's had a playdate? That rocks. Just and all-knowing dinosaur? Must. Know. More.!!!

billz | November 27, 04:54 CET

Wow. Joss is Buffy. Whodathunkit?

Does that mean Joss is Glory? Or is that Ben?

Gill | November 27, 04:54 CET

In "gestalt therapy" -- Joss is all of 'em.

(Sorry, billz, we won't let you down. And gossi that's your kid question...)

QuoterGal | November 27, 04:56 CET

His tiny children are inexplicably adorable! And he works best when they are asleep. He loves writing and would prefer to do that more than anything - except be with his kids.But being a real person with a family and kids has cut into his writing time.

Lioness | November 27, 04:57 CET

He's talking about horror movies he likes. He adores John Carpenter movies.

QuoterGal | November 27, 04:59 CET

The Thing and Halloween make up two of my three favorite horror films of all time (the other being The Exorcist). Go Joss with good taste.

And The Descent is fantastic as well.

The Dark Shape | November 27, 05:00 CET

NOOO! It's over!

QuoterGal | November 27, 05:00 CET

WAH! IT'S OVER!

Harmalicious | November 27, 05:01 CET

Okay, was he kidding about Event Horizon ('cause I've always liked it)? Awww, too short, too short.

ETA: Wonder if Sam Neill will write him an angry letter ... What? You wanted the T-Rex to decapitate me?

You can hear them still talking behind the commercials

Lioness | November 27, 05:01 CET

NO! CRAP! I wish i could listen all night.

hitnrun017 | November 27, 05:01 CET

This must be one of the fastest-growing Whedonesque threads ever... And we got a mention! What about that! :D

non sequitur | November 27, 05:02 CET

Oh, yeah. That was cool. (Hope he does post something tonight on here, but maybe that's too greedy...)

billz, I'll try and get on it -- gotta explore finding the mp3.

QuoterGal | November 27, 05:02 CET

That was no where near long enough. WAH!

TamaraC | November 27, 05:02 CET

So Simon how much do you guys owe them for all that publicity?

LOL

RavenU | November 27, 05:04 CET

Now I go smoke a cig and then come back to rewind and transcribe the Goners bits. Heh.

theonetruebix | November 27, 05:04 CET

Fifty HOURS wouldn't be long enough.

daylight | November 27, 05:04 CET

Whedonesque servers held up well -- thanks, Caroline.

See all y'all...

QuoterGal | November 27, 05:04 CET

Gonerians.....ick. I am with ESG on that one. *shakes fist at QG*

Charmuse | November 27, 05:06 CET

I feel fairly bad about GonersMovie.com now, you know. Joss' comments about saturation with comments is valid. Woops.

And, by the way - the guy who did The Descent? I'm pretty certain I've heard him say he's a Buffy fan. He's a really intelligent person, and a film maker to watch.

gossi | November 27, 05:06 CET

Ah, I kind of thought I should have seen The Descent. When's the DVD coming out?

dreamlogic | November 27, 05:06 CET

Night folks. Worth staying up for, but I have work in six hours' time. That was so cool. Thanks, Caroline and Simon!

Nice to hear so many WHEDONesque plugs too. We ROCK!

Gill | November 27, 05:07 CET

How cool was that - I got to hear that live on the other side of the world! The wonders of the interweb!

catalyst2 | November 27, 05:07 CET

Dinosaur Bless Us All, Every One. Looking forward to links to transcribey things, kind Whedonesquers (I <3 QG, I hope her partner won't mind!), and thanks for the previews here! :-)

billz | November 27, 05:07 CET

QG, you took my quip and ran with it, girl. This needs a t-shirt:

"And then there's Wonder Woman..."

Tonya J | November 27, 05:07 CET

billz, I'll mention on the next Firefly Talk whether we get permission to air any or all of the interview. If we don't get permission, I'll have us read off some quotes of the Firefly/Serenity parts at least.

erico | November 27, 05:09 CET

I could listen to Joss talk all night, that was too short.
Damn I wish they had asked about the possibility of a Buffy Feature....I am dying to know what he thinks about that. In the time of Spidey, Superman, The Hulk and Wonder Woman, where the heck is Buffy? She could kick all their butts.
Goners sounds really interesting and Wonder Woman will no doubt be a hit, that was such a nice treat to start the week off. Just amazing. :)

cheryl | November 27, 05:12 CET

I got to hear only the last few minutes, but even that was worth it. (Somebody please post a transcript.) So cool to hear him in real time.

palehorse | November 27, 05:13 CET

I <3 erico & Firefly Talk too (in a very manly way). Thanks, dude! :-)

billz | November 27, 05:13 CET

onetruebix, I think there might be some delay in getting the mp3 from iTunes or Fanboy -- I can't see any sign of it, yet -- any chance we could talk offline about me getting it so I can transcribe for those unable to hear it? I want to do it right away so they can get into it.

(And seriously folks, I think "Gonerians" is just funny, and that's why I use it...)

QuoterGal | November 27, 05:14 CET

And, by the way - the guy who did The Descent? I'm pretty certain I've heard him say he's a Buffy fan. He's a really intelligent person, and a film maker to watch.

Oh, I saw so many homages to Buffy in that film, it's not even funny. I swore The Descent was influenced by Buffy, but I don't think my friends agreed with me.

electricspacegirl | November 27, 05:15 CET

That was great! I could've listened for hours. Of course, I didn't understand the X-men stuff but I'm so glad I listened in. There was so much to take in, I may have missed a lot just cause I was smiling. (someone asked about Riley *grins*)

Anyone ever notice how mild-mannered Joss Whedon and Stephen King sound when they're talking? Yet they write the most amazing things.

menomegirl | November 27, 05:16 CET

I tried to write it all down but fell way behind...I have bits and pieces but nothing that would match a transcript.

cheryl | November 27, 05:17 CET

Goners is a film that also brewed in me for a few years, and then after I finished filming Serenity, I just up and wrote it, becase I've been wanitng to for so long. It's a supernatural thriller.

There's not much I'm gonna say about it, because I have no idea when it'll happen, and every piece of information will get chewed over so thoroughly that I'm afraid if I talk about it at all, by the time the movie actually comes out people will be tired of it.

It's about a girl named Mia, people know that, who sort of sees in a mystical way the underbelly of the city and of human society, and goes through a kind of extraordinary hell, and we all have a lot of fun in the process.

It's very much the kind of fiction that I tell. That is to say, I love this character and I've been seeing a lot of horror movies that are torture-porn, where kids we don't care about are mutilated for hours, and I just cannot abide them.

This is much more a story about -- literally about human connection and whether or not it's possible.

But it's told on a very mystical scale and, in a way like everything I've tried to do including Buffy, it's an antidote to that very kind of film, the horror movie with the expendable human beings in it. Because I don't believe any human beings are.

theonetruebix | November 27, 05:25 CET

Beautiful sentiment, that.

Tonya J | November 27, 05:28 CET

Dang, good job theonetruebix!

cheryl | November 27, 05:28 CET

Nice Bixy!

Charmuse | November 27, 05:29 CET

Nice, onetruebix. Is the whole file huge?

QuoterGal | November 27, 05:29 CET

Quoter, I just sent you email.

theonetruebix | November 27, 05:32 CET

Thanks and good job. That's part of what I didn't catch.

menomegirl | November 27, 05:33 CET

Thanks, onetruebix. I love the way Joss's humanity shines through in what he creates.

palehorse | November 27, 05:34 CET

Btw, I was able to use flip4mac, a mac program that turns quicktime into wmp, but It only downloaded 7 min clips at a time so I missed big chunks of the interview because I was minutes behind.

Now I'm going to scroll up the thread here to see if Joss answered my question.

ETA: And I guess it wasn't. Oh, well, I'll have to try harder at stalking him so I can get the answer.

[ edited by ElectricSpaceGirl on 2006-11-27 03:47 ]

electricspacegirl | November 27, 05:36 CET

Too much live excitement tonight. Joss's interview ends just as the Hollywood Christmas Parade starts up. About 25 minutes in, there's David Boreanaz with his wife and son.

dreamlogic | November 27, 05:38 CET

And I've ripped off Bix's transcript and put it on the Goners blog. And also trimmed the Goners blog down so there's less potential misinformation. (Frets).

gossi | November 27, 05:49 CET

Thanks, onetruebix, you are a Prince among Bixes.

Folks wanting a transcript, check back on this thread periodically -- I will post a link. I'll only do a bit tonight, as I am going to make dinner for my neglected, patient and hungry partner.

Sorry, ESG, I don't think there was any Fray-mention. And gossi, quit fretting, I don't think there's any harm and plenty good about the Goners forum... we'll just keep on keepin' on making up crap and alphabetizing useless superpowers. I don't think interest in a totally original and completely fascinating Joss-project is going to peak and die. I appreciate that Joss doesn't want us to chew everything to death, but imo, the existence of the forum isn't gonna do anything but help maintain interest over what promises to be a substantial wait...

(And, hey dl, you've got the parade practically in your lap, huh?)

QuoterGal | November 27, 05:59 CET

And, hey dl, you've got the parade practically in your lap, huh?
Yeah, it's cool because I can watch on TV, and since the cameras are a couple of blocks up the parade route, I have time to go down to the corner and cheer for something especially good, like DB and family. Now I want for Joss to be in the parade next year with his family so I can see his kids, too ;)

dreamlogic | November 27, 06:19 CET

dreamlogic, you must be practically a neighbor of mine :) I was thinking of stepping outside to see the parade, but I'm lazy, so it's the TV for me.

Lady Brick | November 27, 06:30 CET

Well I missed all that.... mp3 or transcript please someone!

Jona | November 27, 06:35 CET

I was lazy, too, Lady Brick, until DB showed up. And then there was just Edward James Olmos, so I had to go back down to the corner.

Adama! Adama! Adama!

dreamlogic | November 27, 06:56 CET

I knew Olmos was going to be in the parade, but I came closest to heading out when I saw Justin Hartley. I was just too lazy to change out of my nice warm pajama pants, though.

Lady Brick | November 27, 07:11 CET

QuoterGal, I think Fray was mentioned in the Wonder Woman segment as an example of a solo canon, instead of a team like Joss normally writes.

Do you have a transcript yet of what he said about directing Angel vs Buffy?

BTW - Anyone else catch that he mentioned Steve Trevor?

RavenU | November 27, 07:34 CET

Ravenu, I won't be putting anything up 'til later tonight, and I'll post it here when I do...

QuoterGal | November 27, 08:16 CET

He did mention Steve Trevor as one of the people around Wonder Woman.

TamaraC | November 27, 08:21 CET

First of all, I salute you, theonetrueb!x, sir, for your mad transcribing skills! (And you, QG, I know your mad skills will also be, er, mad -- just take your time, yo!) :-)

The main thing about this quote is, this is why Joss so rocks. This is exactly what I'm always moaning about with films like Saw and Turistas and so on -- torture for the sake of torture, and the characters are just screaming bleeding meat slabs, valueless as humans, yuck. I loves me some Joss, no doubt! :-)

billz | November 27, 08:22 CET

Oddly, the most intriguing thing to me is a Whedonesque podcast. I'd love to interview Simon. If there weren't an ocean and technology that confuses me in the way.

Allyson | November 27, 08:31 CET

I do like the sound of a podcast. It wouldn't have to be a full hour - Simon could pick one topic each week to cover and afterwards do a weekly wrap-up of shenanigans on the main board. 15 minutes each, and you've got yourself a full half-hour! :D

cabri | November 27, 08:38 CET

FYI, Megan of KTCU has a comment that I gather she had issues getting posted here earlier. Since it was meant for here, I'll put it below, in addition to the link to the original.

Ok, a comment I couldn’t post on whedonesque.com

“Hey ya’ll, this is Megan from the Blender and Fanboy. I’m sorry ya’ll are pissed about me mispronouncing Joss's name, I have a problem where I slur my words when I talk really fast or get excited. And this was one of those times. Joss became Josh apparently. I didn’t even hear myself say it till I read the boards. Sorry ok? I got really excited and just started babbling. I AM a huge fan; I DO know his name is Joss. Blame it on a speech prob and being over excited.

Thanks to everyone that posted and listened in. I’m glad ya’ll liked the theme show despite the mishap with the name. Hopefully we will get Joss back on the show and get to discuss more about runaways (can’t wait to read his take on it) and Fray. I know we all would have loved to do a longer show."

PS- Scott was wrong, I do adore Joss, but I would not “bath him” as he said. I’m a fangirl, not a stalker!!!

Also, if you liked the music show before Fanboy, that was The Blender, the music show I’m on every Sunday. You can get a list of the Buffy songs we played as well as a list for everyone wonderful show we've had this semester. We play a new theme every week, next week is Hanukkah themed. Because two hot Jewish chicks run the Blender. Yes, I’m Jewish. Oy Vey!!!

(Of course, it's immediately followed by someone else who felt that insulting WHEDONesquers was the proper way to defend Megan, who herself seems to have handled the issue just fine on her own without such "help").

Aw, Megan...it's all good. We all have stupid things our bodies do when we get excited....me, I get beet red. ALL OVER. Thanks so much for bringing Joss to us. It was awesome even though he didn't answer my question :)

Harmalicious | November 27, 09:20 CET

Scott has given me the okay to rebroadcast the interview on Firefly Talk, and I may bump our current Summer Q&A to put it in our next episode, which is coming out hopefully before the 1st.

For those wanting to download the Fanboy mp3 itself, Scott said it'll be up sometime tomorrow.

erico | November 27, 10:00 CET

I want to know if Joss is still into Veronica Mars.

ChosenOne5376 | November 27, 10:20 CET

Actually the Fanboy mp3 has been available for several hours. http://www.fanboyradio.com/episodes.php

KernelM | November 27, 10:23 CET

Thanks, all, for the info. They want $.75 on their website, which is kind of a messed-up thing IMO (it's not high enough to pay for any expenses I can figure out, so why are they asking anything at all?), so I'm looking forward to Firefly Talk, and of course to the transcripts! :-)

billz | November 27, 10:34 CET

What's the record for most comments in a single thread?

BrightShiner | November 27, 10:39 CET

They charge if you want it ASAP, I think. Then laterish it shows up on their podcast anyway.

It happens to me as well Megan. I like Fanboy Radio, they shiny.

I think the Serenity screenings may have had more comments.

Simon | November 27, 11:18 CET

Well, I didn't mind if they accidentally mispronounce Joss' name because they got it right later. I just hoped to keep up with the other comic book references they talked about during the show. I did like th
