 SomaCow 300: Episode 300 [1:26:16m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

SomaCow Media is proud to present SomaCow brought to you by some overweight girls within celebratory headdresses.

In this, their finest hour, the guys talked about it being episode 300! It was a time to party, a time to reminisce, and a time to look forward.

Geoff asked me to pick up a couple of balloons for the gang, something festive. Wow, am I going to love throwing Rowan birthday parties! I ended up getting balloons, glowing bracelets, sunglasses, party hats, poppers, noisemakers, and a cake! If you are following Ross or myself on Twitter, you will know what a green cake does to you :P. But it was cool! Many thanks to Publix for making a green cow print cake!

It was also a time to reflect and ask you, dear Heard, what you have liked and not liked. Do you like the episodic bits (i.e. Newsbomb, Life Coaching, Weekly Constitutional)? What’s your favorite SomaCow moment? What didn’t you like?

We’re not saying we’re going to change the whole show, oh no, we’re just looking at what we can do to make the next 300 even better. The way we can make it the best is you guys. Geoff has been working on his “Leader Board” and we have already received countless questions about how you all can get more points and that’s awesome! All I can answer is to listen live tonight (or listen back if it’s after Friday) for more details. Thank you all for all you have done. Keep commenting on the blogs (hint hint) and join us in the live chat every Friday night. You guys are the best!

Happy 300 SomaCow!

SomaCow Media is proud to present SomaCow, brought to you in this hour by Casey’s of Downtown Orlando – Join Mickey, J, Elross, and thousands of potential partiers as they celebrate the aging of listeners, the completion of 300 episodes, the taste of popcorn, the sweetness of booze, and the gnarled temper of Jeff Howell’s beer soaked guitar. It’ll be huge, I know it, and I may drive by and throw out a free iPhone or something.

In this hour, we discussed fanatics, cartoons in general, and Mail Order scammery from yesteryear.

I spent a good portion of this hour railing against Matt and Trey of South Park for their confusion of humor with sub-humanity. We all celebrate schadenfrueden, silliness, celebrity spoofery, and a good kick to the nuts, but I had a really hard time getting past an episode they did last year featuring Cartman and Butters engaging in oral sexual abuse. Simply put, I don’t think joking about sex abuse is hysterically funny, and I, for the first time in my life, was genuinely offended by something I watched. Not enough to write a letter to the President, just mad enough to bitch about it on an internet radio show, and then later, in a blog describing that show.

So Wednesday I turned on the TV, figuring Mickey was right (he rarely isn’t), and I should see what the guys at South Park are up to.

5th grade girls giving blow jobs in TGIF’s parking lot. 5th grade (and younger) girls demanding they be allowed to perform oral sex on the Judas Brothers.

Yeah. Funny.
Oh, Geoff! They were making a point about Disney’s sexualization of American youth!

Yeah. Valiant.

Oh, Geoff! They were satirizing to bring attention to the plaque of underage sex.

Yeah. Promethian.

Face it. Trey and Matt are dicks. Anyone greenlighting that show is a dick. You, if you watched it, thought it was fine, and are staring at these words thinking, “Prissy fat chump whiner”, are an excellent judge of my character, but you also like dicks.

The 70 foot fire breathing Mickey Mouse wasn’t even able to save this show. South Park = Over. Life’s too short to bring that shit into your house.

If you get a chance, check out the live show this week! We’ll be celebrating our 300th episode, and most probably talking about food. I don’t know why, it just happens.

Thanks for your time!
