    hey JD, what was that dope song with the female singer and chorus about the city and the sun sitting in the sky, etc.

    thanks!

  2. J.E. Skeets at 11:46 am on 06.16.2008

    Looks like I was wrong about Perk.

  3. J.E. Skeets at 11:46 am on 06.16.2008

    (That is not the name of the song.)

  4. s at 11:55 am on 06.16.2008

    but it is the name of a dope song, to be sure.

  5. stephanie g at 1:01 pm on 06.16.2008

    I also want to know the name of the first song.

    Also, I don’t see how you guys thought that game was boring. Paul Pierce was putting on a show and blowing past all the yellow shirts like they were nailed to the ground.

    The Truth will set you free.

    19 free throw attempts is not all that exciting, Steph.

    Another poorly officiated game.. especially in the 4th. But at least this time they were consistantly bad on both sides. Did you see Jesus getting shoved on the loose ball in the last 2 mins?

  8. Superstar at 3:16 pm on 06.16.2008

    Great podcast today, seeing how I didn’t take time out of my schedule to watch the game. Because I knew it wasn’t going to be the last game of the season. I’m saving my eyes for Game 7.

    @T$ - Another poorly officiated game? Didn’t you get the memo?

    @Podcast - “KG foul trouble” hmnnn.

    I said the word “question” about four times in six seconds. New record!

  10. Bilal at 4:14 pm on 06.16.2008

    Watch out Bill Engvall! Coming to TBS this fall, a retired Chris Mihm! And friends including Scot Pollard, Brian Scalabrine, Luc Longley, Bill Cartwright, Matt Harpring, and Greg Ostertag!

  11. Bilal at 4:16 pm on 06.16.2008

    WHATS THE SONG AT 10:00 MARK JD! PLEASE GET ON AND ANSWER!

  12. X at 4:43 pm on 06.16.2008

    Bilal,

    The song is “You” by Atmosphere from the album “When life gives you lemons…you paint that shit gold”

    Gotta throw some props out to JD. Dude has some good taste.

  13. Bilal at 4:52 pm on 06.16.2008

    To Skeets: I have a friend with that last name. MULL-er. And Paul Pierce has a great legacy I’d say. Never one to quit easily (forgive him for last year), and how about that second quarter? He also anchored that comeback against the Nets years ago with ‘Toine. And what’s a 26-er? I’m 15, so please inform for future reference.

  14. i hate andrew bogut even though i'm australian and have the same first name at 7:36 pm on 06.16.2008

    how many episodes would “chris mihm and friends” last before it got cancelled? 1? 2? would executive producer p. jackson ever get a show greenlighted again?

  15. i hate andrew bogut even though i'm australian and have the same first name at 7:37 pm on 06.16.2008

    greenlighted…greenlit…me fail english? thats unpossible.

  16. JD at 8:08 pm on 06.16.2008

    Today’s Playlist:

    Flight of Icarus — Iron Maiden
    Let Me Blow Ya Mind — Eve
    You — Atmosphere
    Myriad Harbour –The New Pornographers
    My Block — Scarface
    We Don’t Need Another Hero — Tina Turner

    And Thanks X. Probably one of my all time favorite album titles!

  17. Bilal at 10:30 pm on 06.16.2008

    Thanks JD. By the way, I haven’t seen the TBJ Facebook page in a while, and the only reason I ever went there was to look at the shows’ playlists. Have you started keeping them up to date now because it was still stuck at ep. 265 last time I checked? Don’t make me become a Hilary Duff fan, I’d put her at 35,000.

  18. Bilal at 10:36 pm on 06.16.2008

    Sweet Jesus Shuttlesworth, what a freaking song. That’s one of my new favorite bands.

  19. J.E. Skeets at 10:40 pm on 06.16.2008

    26-er: 26 oz. bottle of hard liquor.

    STAY IN SCHOOL KIDS!!!

  20. s at 10:57 pm on 06.16.2008

    thanks JD, you da man!

  21. tony at 11:34 pm on 06.16.2008

    I wonder what keeps J.D. up at night more: the pressure of continually producing an interesting variety of high quality music choices to keep it fresh or the new baby?

    My vote is the music, he’s probably praying for the season to end….

    T.

  22. T$ at 10:03 am on 06.17.2008

    yeah JD sure does a good job of playing the new hott traxx. For the next show I think he wants to play some new Badu and the Kanye Lollipop remix… hah!

  23. christoff at 11:15 am on 06.17.2008

    Bilal: I’d also very highly recommend the Atmosphere album Seven’s Travels

  24. Loren at 11:35 am on 06.17.2008

    I think JD wants to throw in some Spank Rock and/or Benny Blanco.

  25. Daddio at 12:46 pm on 06.17.2008

    Way to go JD on the newpornos! I wish they had played Myriad Harbour live when i saw them cuz there is a youtube version out there that is hot.

  26. Bilal Loves Atmosphere at 1:11 pm on 06.17.2008

    @ J.E.: I won’t touch until I’m 25 or until the Wizards turn into the Knicks.

    @Loren: Spank Rock sucks.

    @JD: Update that Playlist Page JD! And/or “About” Page on this site!

  27. Loren at 1:58 pm on 06.17.2008

    @Bilal: You’re 15. /discussion
