Our tech crew botched the recording of our weekly Backstage meeting. So, we fired every last one of them, and then recorded this Aftershow following the recording of this week’s Right Angle shows with Bill Whittle, Scott Ott and Stephen Green.
Thank you, Members.

Scott mentioned his facility with languages. C. S. Lewis suggests somewhere that, if the Gospels read in English become so familiar they begin to seem dull or automatic, try reading them in a foreign language. I recently read John’s Gospel in French and found that the Last Supper conversation conveyed a heightened sense of tenderness on Jesus part toward his apostles, and of intimacy within the group. My French isn’t very good, but the familiar parts of the Bible are quite accessible. Whatever strengthens our faith in these tumultuous times is worth a try, n’est-ce pas? Happy Easter!
Hey Bill is having a good hair day, rare.
TBH I felt like I was shorted a full show. So being a resourceful viewer (that only this show has) I played this 16min show at half speed (.5) to get the full 30 min show. BEST DRUNK BACKSTAGE SHOW EVER!
I knew the most brilliant minds followed this trio….. excellent idea
Hey, I read lips, put it up!
why is it I can’t ever find a way to play the backstage episodes? Must be my antiquated technology? I used to be able to. It makes my angry and sad. Making it a perfect metaphor for life in the USA in 2021.

“So, we fired every last one of them …”
Hereafter known as “The Great Backstage Purge and Massacre of 2021”
Who is the best tap dancer:
1 Fred Astaire;
2 Bugs Bunny;
3 Daffy Duck?
Scott: if bill needs to take the fifth; how much does Steve need to take?
Asking for a friend
Bugs Bunny, no doubt.
Steve buys by the handle, no doubt. If they would sell him barrels, he could then just tap them. Terrible aging environment in CO I would think.
I disagree “Ron”, Steve is aging well, doesn’t look a day over 40! The weather in Monument, Co agrees with him, as it can be in a single day, Cold,Wet, Dry, Windy, Windy and Wet, Windy and Dry, and Dry and Hot.
It works for him.
his liver is 75
Considering the reason this one was different from all the other previous train wreaks, it was still a damn good train wreak.
One for the ages.
I understand how the progressive left has been doing the whole “rabbit self-identifying as a duck” thing. My kids saw a cartoon where the male bovine, Otis, had utters. I learned about many things including classic opera from a cross-dressing rabbit. (Thanks, Buggs.)
Am I the only one that thinks 52 minutes without being able to hear Bill, but with Steve and Scott responding to what they heard Bill saying, would be very entertaining?
Release the hounds! Put it out this coming Sunday as a special. Bet it sets a record for comments. They’d all be snarky comments, yea, but there would be a great many of them. 😉
*Sharpening up my comment snark-ifier in joyful anticipation*
In the comments we can write the comments we’d think Bill said.
Jocularity ensues.
Yes, if we could figure out a way to do it real time in the member blog, that would be really cool. Maybe someone with IT skills can figure that out. Now who could that be, do we have anyone with those ACTual Skills?
The challenge has been set!
Any developers out there who can develop an MST3K-type app to dub in Bill’s silence with Stratoloungers talking in the voices of Crow or Tom Servo?
Personally, I think we should take that episode and hand it over to the folks at “Bad Lip Reading” on Yootoob!
Now, THAT would be a record-breaking show!
Believe me, the thought crossed my mind, and then circled back and crossed it again.
If any of you guys are reading these comments, there was a Member Post a few days agosuggesting you guys need a vacation. Seriously, start recording an extra non topical session each week and when you have enough drop them for two weeks staright. If you want to throw members a bone you can do a “backstage” from vacation where you just give a quick hello & what you’re doing to enjoy yourselves. Or not that last part, but take some time & recharge!
With the way 2021 is going we’re going to need you at full strength…
This is such a beautiful comment…except for the part about extra work.
The videos wouldn’t even have to involve all three of you – I’m pretty sure solo vids woud satisfy the crowds. I’m spitballing here…
While most of the members would be cool with a Gone Fishin’ sign being hung on the home page for two weeks, I’m more concerned with what you’d lose in terms of overall viewers if nothing got published for a week or two. Seriously, make plans to recharge the batteries – you guys have certainly earned it
If you want to take a real leap of faith we could find some members to do some roundtable discussions and give you all a week off. It would be heavily watched; much like people can’t pull away from a train wreck or a car accident. But still heavily watched. 😉

As an entertainment professional, I’ve had to “tap dance” both live in front of a studio audience and in a streaming environment such as this one.
I feel ya, Bill.
Yeah. Don’t recall the mythology ever being that the E Bunny actually laid the eggs. The rabbit just brought the eggs to the childrens.
Oh, come now Steve. Kathleen Kennedy has done far more damage to Han “Solo” than George ever did.
Episode VII made Episdoe I look like Episode IV
I didn’t know there was still a Dragon up there.
Oh.
Doh!
Only 16min? What the hell?
I know, right?
A Wednesday morning without Backstage?!? The gyroscope that controls my psyche is tumbling. This is not shaping up to be a good day.
Guess I picked the wrong week to leave the Sambuca out of my morning Espresso.
Your “guess I picked the wrong . . .” reminded me of the movie Airplane. Thanks for the laugh. 🙂
Thanks, it was what I was shooting for, my first take was a straight quote and seemed unseemly.
Win for the most quoted Airplane reference!
Thank you, try the veal.
Oops. Had the fish.
Gimble lock! gimble lock!
His name wasn’t Murphy by any chance, was it?
In the Naval Aviation world, Murphy’s Law reads “If an aircraft part can be installed incorrectly, someone will do it that way.”
Plant Maintenance version: If there is a button that can be pressed, but should not be; someone will press it and at the worst possible time.
“Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying ‘End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH‘, the paint wouldn’t even have time to dry.”
Will there be a blooper reel? lol
Next time stand up on the desk and zoom out the camera so we can all see the actual tap dance.
Happy birthday to you and your lovely wife.
LOL. Get your wife to do it. Prob do a better job. :p
Why is the lip sync/sound track so out of whack?
Imagine my Surprise not only has this weeks episode being screwed up requiring a post show synopsis without spoilers a real challenge but the responsible party is the Stratolounge engineer as someone with years of experience consuming that particular content sound issues are nothing uncommon and almost expected.
“The Worst Produced Show on the Internet” (C) is not the unofficial tagline for nothing. The seepage was bound to happen.
