  1. I've only heard the first half of this episode so far, but so far the music is AMAZING! You both picked a lot of top-notch tracks for this episode.

    I had an idea: are there any games that you've played every single eligible track on the soundtrack on LMH? If so, you should retire games, like sports teams retire numbers of their best players. So, if you play all of the tracks on, say, Road Rash, you could retire it - maybe just announce it is retired on the show, or maybe keep a list on the website.

  2. There should be no surprise that I love F1 Circus MD so much.

  3. Brent, saw you on last weeks "The Middle" and you did a great job! You got pretty good screen time too. Listeners, if your cable company offers a "on demand" service, please check out Brent.

  5. HEY!!! Way late on this, finally listened up to date, but HUGE mistake on this episode. The track from "Nigel Mansell's" is NOT from Nigel Mansell etc. It is my favorite Genesis track ever, which I have suggested to the Boiz via email. It is from Lotus 2: RECS. It is BGM 2. I know because I played it endlessly as a kid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tvbk5xDswAM&list=PLFSHdeZ6gP01mabCz7bZZn4GabI2z_Iq0&index=5

    I think as pennance, in lieu of timelord, the next episode (203) should feature the main title theme from Lotus 2: RECS, which can be found here:

    P.S.: The phone message I left was doubly erroneous. The best episode ever is 190: Jokes. Easily.

    P.S.S.: Not intending to sound dickish. LMH is life.
