Please send your questions or comments about the show to thescottcast@gmail.com or post a comment right here on TheScottcast.com. We will read all correspondence on our podcasts, just like in this episode, where we once again hear from Scott’s #1 fan Tammy.
Scott is presented with some interesting predicaments in this episode. Who would win in an epic battle between The X-Men or The Thundercats? Who would Scott choose to be for a day if he had to decide between Jon Bon Jovi, Justin Bieber, or Jay-Z? What event in world history would Scott prevent or change if he could? What is the difference between love, infatuation, and obsession? Perhaps more deeply than other episodes, Scott’s imagination and thought processes are really pushed to their limits here.
Finally, we learn if Scott has ever really been in love, and if so, what that was like for him. Somehow this leads back into talking about Jon Bon Jovi. Also, is Scott a racist?
Mike shares part of a great article titled “5 Ways You Know It’s Time to Get Married” by Cracked.com writer John Cheese with Scott. Click the link to read the full article. It really is quite funny and also quite true!

The audio picks up at #6 of the nightly Power 9 at 9 countdown on Philadelphia’s WUSL Power 99 FM radio in 1988.

Jo Jo and Flav take lots of calls and then end the show with the “Dedication Party,” where song dedications are made for the next program after the countdown, The Quiet Storm.
Also featured during this recording are lots of great commercials: Power 99′s Power Max Phase 3 contest, Trident gum, a French fragrance I’ve never heard of, The U.S. Army, Michelob, TV Guide, Oxy 10, Chevrolet Corsica, The Countdown with Walt Baby Love (in a promo that features Gerald Levert), McDonald’s, and a footwear company plugging their latest style “The Snowcat.”

Sep 22nd
I often say proudly that I was indeed into old school hip-hop before it became part of music’s mainstream. This embarrassingly proves it.
Mike Jackson was host of the Power 9 at 9 countdown on WUSL Power 99 FM in Philadelphia in the mid 1980s. Every weeknight, he hosted a segment called the “Rap Attack,” where people called up to bust out a few rhymes, or, do the beat box, as you’ll hear me do. I was about 11 or 12 at the time.
Complete with shout outs to my neighborhood pals Dave (my brother), Mike D. (Demattei), Danny (Bradwell) and Trevis (Rouse), listen to me break it down Fat Boys style.
The Scottcast! Episode 5.
Sep 11th
It’s their first new episode after a nice long summer break! Scott and Mike discuss each of their summers and Scott’s most recent life changes – a new place to live, a new job, a new love interest, and a new cell phone plan.
After he eventually realizes there indeed is not a third film version of Stephen King’s “The Shining,” Scott dives in to why things didn’t work out so well with his former summer love. This leads to Scott and Mike discussing whether or not a girl will break up with a guy without first having a replacement lined up (a thought Mike credits to Ron Bennington of Sirius XM’s “The Ron and Fez show”), and then the best or worst methods of breaking up with someone. Is a text message or email really appropriate?
Also In this episode, you’ll also hear what kind of wine recommendation Scott would make for a lady, which movie monster Scott would bring to life if he could, and which superhero Scott most identifies with.
