Birthday Sweater
Careful listeners may recall that during our Wonder Showzen interview, the creators of that show discussed working on Doggie Fizzle Televizzle, Snoop Dogg's short-lived MTV sketch comedy series. Besides hilariously recalling Snoop's "real name" (Snoople P. Doggsworth, DDS), they shared the story of how they tricked Snoop into being on their album: one of them told Snoop it was his birthday. This lead directly to the only words Snoop ever spoke to him.
Snoop pointed to the sweater the Wonder Showzen fellah was wearing, and uttered the simple (but now classic) phrase: "Birthday Sweater."
My birthday is coming up, and my mom got me a nice, sky blue cashmere v-neck sweater. And all I can think of is Snoop pointing at me and saying, "Birthday Sweater."
And every time I think of it, I laugh uproariously to myself.

I'm sure you look lovely in it.
Of course I do, you kidding me?
What is it with you and cashmere? After you did that Keep It Up on Black V-Neck Casmere Sweaters I saw one on sale I bought it. And, damn, if it's not the most comfortable thing.
My point is, if this whole radio thing doesn't work out for you, you could make a killing reping for casmere. Or, maybe the Cashmere Council could sponsor the show.
It comes from the belly of a special goat.
Also, here's a cashmere tip:
If you don't want to spend a lot of money, you're much better off buying a quality used sweater from Ebay than buying a low-quality new one (like one from Gap/Banana Republic/Costco/whatever). If you care for it carefully (wash it gently, etc), it should get NICER with age. But a poor quality one will start out less nice, and may pill.
Do you know how to get red wine out of alpaca?
Something about baking soda?
My guess is that this is some sort of sheep-shagging joke.
