Hour of Slack #1228 -- Balloon Boy Live Special 10-18-2009
For
once, Hour of Slack offers a news scoop. It turns out that in 2002, the son of
Stang (now a director in Hollywood) was employed by Richard Heene, father of
the kid known as Balloon Boy. This live show (featuring guest cowpoke Lonesome
Cowboy Dave) is a look into the minds, such as they are, of the Heenes, with
rather revealing recordings of their 911 calls, testimony about them by young
Stang and another former employee of the Heenes, and numerous poems by the
writers of alt.slack that were composed during the hoax-news event. We also
delve into kookdom in general and the relationships of various kooks with the
mass media. A big song by Little Fyodor caps the show.
