YOU MAY RECALL THAT LAST YEAR, I HAD A LITTLE TALK WITH OUR U.S. PRESIDENT regarding his nerd credentials.

WHILE I WAS EMBARRASSED that the president did not know that Conan worshipped Crom (let’s face it: that one was a “give-me“),

I WAS MUCH MORE EMBARRASSED to realize that I had used the term NERDCORE without properly attributing it to its source, MR. M.C. FRONTALOT.

TODAY, MR. ALOT releases his LATEST ALBUM OF NERDCORE RAPPING SONGS, and I was grateful that he was willing to offer me some space on the vinyl to finally address this terrible oversight, and also to discuss other subjects, along with COULTON HIMSELF.

I AM GRATEFUL TO HIM for his forgiveness, and to WIRED for their kind words regarding our conversation.

BUT LISTEN, NICK VERONIN, please do not blame SIR FRONTSPLENTY for the poor sound quality of our little talk. It is not his fault. I made him come to my new Brooklyn-based WORK-BUNKER, which was empty except for the bottle of gin I had installed; and frankly, COULTON’S BEARD did not soak up all the echoes as well as I had hoped.

That is all.

THANK YOU, everyone, for making the TODAY-IN-THE-PAST-CAST the number 2 best “selling” podcast on iTunes, IMPLAUSIBLY ENOUGH.

I AM VERY GRATEFUL.

HOWEVER, I realize that some of you may be saying:

“I LIKE ALL THESE FAKE FACTS, but I am sorry that I cannot pay money for them, and also hear them all at once, FOR HOURS.”

SO I WOULD BE REMISS in not pointing out that the ENTIRETY of “Today In The Past” is also included on the full AUDIOBACK EDITION of the book.

NOT TO MENTION:

MANY MORE FAKE FACTS

INCREDIBLE GUESTS including Coulton! Maddow! F Tompkins! Dick Cavett! Ira Glass! Vowell! Galifianakis! Gervais!

AND YOUR NARRATOR: Paul Rudd.

AND ALSO: 700 mole-man names, recorded before a live studio audience, UNDER THE GROUND.

SERIOUSLY: I am very proud of this effort, and especially the effort of the astonishing actual talents who made it happen, IMPLAUSIBLY ENOUGH.

AND I WOULD BE REMISS in not pointing this out, since some do not seem to believe it.

BUT NOW I WILL SAY NO MORE

That is all.

THIS IS A MAJOR DUAL PLATFORM ANNOUNCEMENT: by blog and twitter both.

COURTESY Ms. Debbie Way, a helpful commenter…

MY QUEST for Crazy Davis’s famous old novelty song about the Rubik’s Cube has ended.

SPECIFICALLY, it has ended here, at THE BLOG OF ERIC DRYSDALE.

EVEN THOUGH I AM PROBABLY THE BEST video embedder in the world, I am not going to embed it. Because it looks terrible on this imitation blog for some reason, and it also wants to sell you ring tones.

So please visit Drysdale’s blog, and when you get there, ask him: WHEN DO I GET THE PYRAMINX SONG I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR?

WHILE WE WAIT FOR HIS ANSWER, may I remind you that I will be reading from my 2nd FAKE TRIVIA BOOK tomorrow night at the Park Slope Barnes and Noble.

COULTON ADVISORY: this shall be a non-Coulton event. Otherwise, all details are here.

That is all.
