SomaCow Media is proud to present SomaCow, brought to you in this hour by Yummy Coffee. Good friend of the show Chris sent us a taster pack of some Boresha Coffee, and Mickey and I downed a solid 16 oz.er before we took to the airwaves. It was energizing, and made our brains go into overdrive. Nice, smoky finish, and an excellent full bloom flavor. Get some. GET SOME.

In this hour, we discussed soul food, comedic financial news networks, and my hatred of Fraggles, HR Puff and Stuff, Bike Week, Bewbs, and more. I am a hateful, awful man.

I really wasn’t kidding about MamaNems, located off of Sunny SR 435 Kirkman Road just south of Darkest Old Winter Garbage. We will invite all our local listeners to invade, engage, engorge, and generally have a good time soon, so keep your ears open. I still say Ross was apparently lying about the Git’Er Diner. Weirdo. I am looking forward to maowing down on some Chicken: Fried.

Mickey goes off on Larry the Cable Guy, Jeff Foxworthy, Dane Cook, and that’s a-pretty nice! His Life Coaching in this hour discussing leaving your comfort zone, which I am incapable of doing most days. I try, but I go back to favorites, over and over again. Take this week – I am celebrating the stink of the Irish in the only way an Atkinser can, by downloading and shoveling in TONS of cabbage. I am not kidding, people. After ten years of not even looking crosseyed at the cabbage, I have eaten 4 heads in four days. I cannot stop!

After listening to me rant and rave about Muppets and Bikers and Breasts and on and on and on… Feel free to tell me how wrong I am. Lord knows J and Mickey have.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all our listeners! May each of you find a cute redhead brandishing beers wearing stockings in your beds, and may you be in the bathroom half a second before your Willy sings his song. What the hell does that even mean?

Coming soon – The Listener Leaderboard! And don’t forget to double-download this episode, and send pictures of your elbows to Mickey, and tell people about the show, and wash behind your ears, and buy books at http://www.spinwardfringe.com, and listen to PrimeTimeGeek and wear clean overshoes, and buy Peruvian, and jesus this coffee is good!

 

 SomaCow 295: Feedbackbiting [1:09:59m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

SomaCow Media is proud to present SomaCow, brought to you in this hour by Chris P For President. It’s the straight up biscuits, served by a man we love and… umm… know.

In this episode, I go over some of the feedback to Faux Pas 2009 (2009), we talk about eating alone, and the importance of “booth room”, we discuss The Death of CSB, and what that portends to quite a few local podcasts, and we gave some shouts outs and song requests to the creme de la creamy.

Connecticut School of Broadcasting School of Broadcasting Broadcasting School closed this week, and hundreds of students are reportedly pissed off. It seems there was a stipulation that one of the perks of graduating said CSBSBBS was the use of the facility’s, namely, studio time and check out of AV equipment, and now that the massive organization has gone tits-up, everyone is left in the lurch with regard to their respective demo reels, shows, and sundry projects.

We here at the ‘Cow empathize with everyone involved, and if you need some studio space or help in figuring out what to do now, welcome you to give us a call. Even if just for advice. We like podcasts, and want to see more, not less, of them all around this town. All our support goes out to The Experience, Area 52, The Sports Buzz, Big Dirty Radio, and anyone else affected by the closure.

I had occasion this week to do Atkins at a diner, alone, and found myself in a rare position, namely, silent. Minimal chit chat with the waitress, then a solid ten minutes of quiet, just waiting for food, taking pictures of food, uploading pictures of food, tweeting about food, then responding to the responses about my food, eating my food, and then leaving. Sad. I am very happy to have good friends and a great wife willing to dine out with me, cause I’d be ordering in from now on if that was how every meal went. Ross laughs at my misery, because he loves to be old man at the Denny’s pounding down books and hashbrowns like nobody’s business.

J’s newsbomb is horrfiying, per usual. Enjoy! I am still trying to get him to sign on with the idea of hosting a 24/7 webcam in his house, but he keeps referring to “quality time” and “quantity time”. Both seem to be about ribs.

Stick around and listen in at the end of the episode for a special story by Chris from Mississippi. He’s a budding writer, and I am enjoying his short stories. If any of you would like to read more, drop me a line (moo@somacow.com) and I will get right on it. Also, if anyone has a huge map of the world they would like to donate to SomaCow, I need one now to keep track of all the Chrises. Thanks!

SomaCow Media Network is proud to present SomaCow. Brought to you this week by Bern’s Steakhouse – For all your special family memories, it’s the best steakhouse in the lower 48 for Champagne Room Confessions!

In this hour, I talk at great length about my misadventures at my Wife’s Sister’s birthday dinner. Once you have listened, do comment the blog and let me know what you think about what happened (like how I ate away at the family like phosphoric acid eats away at just about anything, a prime ingredient in Coke).

In the meantime, I have lost 20 lbs on Atkins (you wouldn’t have to worry so much about losing weight if you’d not drink Coke, all the high fructose corn syrup just puts on pounds, contributes to diabetes and obesity, and rots your teeth!) and am now 12.5% of the way to my goal weight. This is the real crux of all diets, where a bit of success has been enjoyed, and the dieter can all too often feel the desire to “celebrate” or get lax in their resolve. I am vigilant to the extreme, and will not waver. I did learn that Atkins’ shakes may be a staller (you know what else can stall things? giving a baby Coke, the carbonation messes with their digestion as they can’t handle it), and are certainly not a great idea during induction. They are certainly delicious, though.

Anyway, I am covering… We’ll talk more about weight loss and the 1,000 lb. challenge in a later episode, suffice it to say I think I could see my goal weight by end of summer, or at the very least my Birthday in October. Just in time for pumpkin pie (you know, pumpkin pie was our baby’s first bite of non-breastmilk food, you know why? it didn’t have caffeine in it which babies can’t process!), beefcake.

You know what is crazy?
