It’s Apprentice season again! The season starts Sunday, January 7, 2007 from Los Angeles, California (see http://www.buddytv.com/tv_listing.aspx for the time and channel in your location).

In typical Armchair Apprentice fashion, we are going to give you our from-the-hip impressions of the candidates. We’re viewing the audition videos from http://apprentice.tv.yahoo.com/trump/06/video/auditions.html for each candidate and commenting (go there and play along with us). It’s not pretty but that’s kind of what you are all here for anyway, so come on in and help us open up a can of whoop-ass on this new bunch. Let’s make ‘em feel loved. As usual, no rocket science on our part.

Multi Part Podcast: This recording went on for about two hours (more if you count kid interruptions) so we’re breaking the entire show into four parts which we’ll be releasing throughout the week. In this installment, we take our first looks at Aaron, Aimee, Angela and Carey.

If you’re an Apprentice candidate, don’t worry, we bark a lot but if you meet us in real life we’ll probably gush like any other fan so don’t take it personally — we’ll give you a second (real life) chance before we bite. Until then, you’re in our sites and we’re not all that charitable.

MySpace: We’re building an Armchair Apprentice MySpace page (love the friends, hate the interface) at http://myspace.com/armchairapprentice (we’re M&M — Marji and Mike — duh!).

Happy New Year: Be safe tonight — we want as many listeners as we can get so don’t do anything that will keep you from Armchair Apprentice . We’re really looking forward to this new season (Mike is looking forward to watching some little business yuppie running out of the port-o-potty spraying his/her ass down with Lysol. Wonder if Lysol will be a sponsor? Better yet, will the port-o-potty company will be a sponsor.).

“The Apprentice” Links: The Apprentice on Yahoo and The Apprentice on NBC (finally, NBC actually supports the show on their web site).
