Episode 111

"Time Crisis, back once again. On this week's Time Crisis, we dig into the Mail Bag, we talk about the top hits of 1978 and today. All that, plus one more trip to the Butterfinger fountain. That's right - this is a very special crispety-crunchety, peanut-buttery edition of Time Crisis."

Topics

Ezra and Jake discuss seeing Goose at the Troubadour, and the crunchy vibe that's created when seeing a jam band perform at the venue. They taste test some Butterfinger donuts, launching into a lengthy discussion on Dunkin' Donuts versus Krispy Kreme. An analysis of Dunkin's "Fred the Baker" campaign follows, seguing into memories of local television commercials. The Crew talk to the team behind New Jersey's official Twitter account, @NJGov, and read a listener email about meeting one of the co-founders of Ben & Jerry's, Jerry Greenfield. A Bee Gees-heavy Top Five is concluded with a tangent on truly beautiful male pop stars of the 1980s.
