You can see the obvious disgust on my face as a young couple with a baby — whose cries can only be described as “baby velociraptor-like” sat next to us during the filming of this week’s 3 Chords & the Truth. That aside, I feel like we got back to “classic 3 Chords” in this episode … whatever that means.
Enjoy our take on the homeless situation in New York City.

We’ve created 50 3 Chords & the Truth which means we’ve wasted a helluva lot of your time. We take a brief look back at the past 50 episode and even cap it off with the usual technical glitches.

This is the longest 3 Chords & the Truth we’ve ever done… but we actually provide a service in this episode. Mateo and Tracy from Cooking on the Terrace teach us how to create homemade pasta. I consume an entire bottle of red wine, and Johnny gets made at a poorly-placed Facts of Life reference.

Johnny and I discuss how America came in last from a well-researched and highly scientific study released by the North Korean government.
Also, if you like helping children, support our whipping-boy Raj in his endeavors to raise funds for Hole in the Wall Camps. It’s a great organization and you can find out more here: http://www.tinyurl.com/teamholeinthewalldarkandfurry

Johnny and I head to the Time Warner Center to discuss the Anthony Weiner scandal.

Johnny and I prepare for the oncoming zombie horde/apocalypse in this brief follow-up to yesterday’s 3 Chords & the Truth.

Johnny and I head to Times Square and discuss how the world is going to end - at least if you believe the fuzzy math of Harold Camping.

After much debate, Johnny and I hired our new whipping boy named Raj. He isn’t allowed to look us in the eyes and his primary job function is to clean out my cat’s litter box, but we thought we’d give him a chance to make an appearance on 3 Chords. Don’t get too used to him, it doesn’t look like he’ll be around for long.
In this episode, we also discuss the insane amount of weddings I attend, and why Johnny hates them so much. And for those who make it through to the end, we’ve included a little surprise for you.
NOTE: We were using a new and sexy camera this time around, but it was constantly trying to focus. As a result, the image shifts occasionally and you’ll hear the lens shift. We promise to correct these issues and my super-large head for the next taping.
We don’t know if you have followed the news, but we shot Osama bin Laden in the face. No kidding, he’s gone.
Adam and I — in Union Square — discuss the killing of the rat bastard and whether or not the “death photos” should be made public.
Then I wrecked the whole shebang at the end with an off-the-cuff joke. We actually should plan these…

After a year and a half, Johnny and I return with a new episode of 3 Chords & the Truth. Shooting this time from Union Square, we talk about where we’ve been, where we are, and we fail to mention where we’re headed … which is no where.
There’s more to come. In the meantime, get up to speed by checking out our archives.

In the bookshop the other day, I walked past a display of tomes about the upcoming British royal wedding. That, of course, of Prince William and Kate Middleton. There were about half a dozen books. Most of which I imagine are slapped together rush-jobs containing boring biographical information, rags and bones from the British tabloids and filler copied and pasted from Wikipedia.
I thought to myself, “It’s a smart way to make a quick buck, but pretty gutsy to have books about a couple that have yet to exchange vows in Westminster Abbey.” Especially considering the result of the Prince’s parent’s nuptials. For heavens sake, Lady Diana spotted Prince Charles’ mistress — the “lovely” Camilla Parker-Bowles— in the Abbey crowd before they said “I do.” (That link shows Camilla there.) It didn’t go well after that.
I wondered what kind of souvenirs, keepsakes and cheap tat were already available for the Will and Kate wedding that hasn’t happened. There is the official coin — which looks really bad — commemorative plates, ashtrays, tea towels and other junk. Then I saw a story that killed me.
A company called Crown Jewels Condoms are peddling souvenir royal rubbers. A box of birth control with William and Kate on the front, boasting they are “condoms with distinction.” Even the site’s tag line is funny. “Like a Royal Wedding, intercourse with a loved one is an unforgettable occasion.” Wow. The site also says, “Lie back and think of England.” I think Churchill said that.
So order now. Commemorate this occasion with some royal boning. 3 condoms for 5 quid, 9 for 13.50. Bargain!
Better than an ashtray, I guess…
