ePIsodE 7: fast trash, unexpected encounters, and a blast from the past

Well, we started out this week's picks in eager anticipation of the Giants' opening game against the Phillies, and it's no exaggeration to say that the pickin' started getting faster as game time approached...to the point that civic service in the form of removing cans, paper and cardboard miiiiight even have taken the backseat to hootin' and cheerin' for the local team

This started off at what Ray & Dave expected might be a welcoming haven for true black & orange fans at Tommy's Joynt (after all, ray WAS wearing a full-on Giants uniform with eye black and all, while dave was wearing a blinding reflective orange jersey).

But 'twas not to be. And all for the better, as what's best done walking then turned into a pick-and-run, bagging trash all the way to Acme Burgerhaus up on Divisadero, where the crowd was much more welcoming and the team did not disappoint. There we had an unforgettable during- and post-game analysis conversation with Melissa, were later joined by good friend Jennie, and things were never the same. The broadcast took a few unexpected turns and suffice it to say that the on-the-air censors had to work overtime while good times were had.

In the end, we leave you with naught but a short reflective piece, which may just turn out to be the most concise, direct, to-the-point, hit-home take on what it is that this show's about in the first place.

Or, not. But either way, do give a listen to the talk and the tunes, Episode 7 right here, a special blast from the past performed by the Campbell Crew titled Public Space, and let us know what you think, join in for the next pick, join in the Community Clean Team if you're not in our neck of the woods, or, if you're further away, well, just don't throw that cigarette butt down in the street.

Keep it clean, folks, and... GOOOooooOOOOO GIANTS!!!!

EPISODE 6 - BLUE ANGELS Talkin' Trash above the city!


EPISODE 6 Click on it and enjoy trash talk w/Ray&Dave live on a beautiful weather Saturday in the South of Market and Polk Gulch sections of San Francisco!
Beautiful Weather yes, but the city sidewalks were not beautiful, still dirty with litter! Damn it! But, we will fix that, won't we?


Today's main topic: Blue Angels in the sky
And a question to ponder: Are there enough public trash cans/receptacles in the city?
If you ever think there are not enough public trash cans, we recommend that you call 311 and make a request/report to the city about it, and perhaps a new trash can will appear!

We have made 2 such requests for more trash cans on 19th Avenue (on the Westside from Stonestown Mall to Vicente), and on Mission and 10th Streets...let's see if they materialize!

Comments from Jeff Beals, writer of People from Venus

Wow, People from Venus. That song was about your lovely city. I remember when writing it I was thinking of a day in 1981 driving across the Golden Gate Bridge towards where it meets the green steep hills across the bay. As I drove towards the emerald hills there was a large flock of small clouds the size of houses running in the wind down the slope and jumping into the bay. They looked like a flock of sheep gliding over the road and drifting out across the water below. (and yes Sherman want's to be on your show)
