I also like that song he did for The Big Lebowski.
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

I love that song about the stream with islands in it.  That is what he and Dolly Parton are.

Thank you, Steve, for inspiring a brief dance freakout to that song around my house. Haven't listened to it in ages!!!!!

In Britain, apparently, he tried to launch his food chain.
But there, Kenny Rogers Chicken means something altogether different.

It feels weird to criticize them on Tom's own board
he reads and responds here sometimes.

Putting that aside those bits aren't annoying to me they aren't laugh out loud either
BUT they add to texture of the whole show it just expands the Newbridgeverse and hearing the back and forth between the guys is cool.

Jesse Thorn from the TSOYA, who got me on to the show, said it best:
the more you listen the more you get out of it.
 
(not bragging, he didn't say it to me personally)

I like the idea that you'd actually be bragging about having a conversation with Jesse Thorn.

I have to say, that people would complain about these bits makes them about three times as funny.

Happy to help.  Now, when I listen to that song I can only think of David Cross and Jon Benjamin's duet to Bonnie Rait's "Something to Talk About."
