SomaCow Media, Inc. is proud to present SomaCow, brought to you in this hour by Repticon. For all your stinging, biting and creeping horror needs, Repticon is a one stop shop for pets sure to scare the living crap out of your neighbors.

Saturday was a big day for me and my wife, as we decided to actually leave the SomaCow Studio Compound and Sausage Emporium and head out. I had been told by a friend that Repticon made for a good fun walk-around, so we piled into the Saturn Running Show and headed over.

Place was amazing. I talk about it some in this episode, and Jen got a buttload of excellent pics which you can check out while listening – Some of these things have otherwordly colors, and blew my mind. Hell of a lot bigger selection than what we see at Pet Bazaar or any of the local cricket and mealworm shops.

There were lots of women there, surprisingly. I really do not know what that is about. Mickey and J say Snakes=Penis. Mickey feels that pets signal the death of a person’s social life, and I tend to agree.

Those of you that like snakes, you should head down to the Central Florida Zoo and wave “hi” to a good friend of ours serpents, both of whom idle away their luxuriant life in happy herpe heaven. Maybe next weekend I will hit the zoo and get you guys some pics. God knows something good has to come out of that camera I bought Jen.

We talk a lot about snakes, and Mickey clues us in to what it REALLY means when a chick touches a reptile. I wonder what it means when a chick touches her iPod iTouch, that she won from SomaCow Media? Take the test and win!

Also – PSA -don’t have hermit crabs as pets- You think it’s cute. Your kid may say they do, but they are lying. Stop scaring your children, people.

We finally agree that, for some people, reptiles are just their “Thing” – Everyone needs to have a thing, something that they get nutty for, or follow religiously. Mickey’s might be comics, mine might be authors and their first editions, and J… J loves shrimp.It came up during the episode, and maybe you can sound off here: How much would you pay for a piece of the moon, or what object would you pay an exorbitant amount for, far above it’s supposed “value”?

Check out J’s NewsBomb at the :40, where he makes Mickey AND I laugh. No. REALLY!
In sadder news -

Guess who’s Back?

Back Again?

Nader’s Back.

Stupid Bastard.

Yeah, it didn’t rhyme, but there is no less evocative, more meaningless, less likely candidate to ever announce. I have more belief that Chavez, or Charlie Chaplin, or Charlie freaking Brown, could be elected, than Ralph. S. Mouse Nader. Dude is a perfect example of the guy that just does not know when to leave the party and go the F home. And that’s coming from a card carrying member of the Green Party. That whole organization is falling apart at the seams. Maybe I will fix it in a later episode.

We rounded out the hour with some Oscar talks. We must just not get out to the theaters enough, cause I have not seen a single big contender. Give me some suggestions, listeners. I saw 3:10 to Yuma, and it was excellent. What else from this year’s harvest should I be seeing?I apologize for the Jungle Fever singing. Sincerely.

Don’t forget to check out Justice at the Club at Firestone, coming soon. Get in, get’tained, and let us know how it was.

And enjoy the following hissy hissy tunes in this episode:

• Cobra Starship – Bring It (Snakes on a Plane)
• Bittybox – Snake Eyes

SomaCow Media,Inc. and their free iPod are proud to present SomaCow, brought to you in this hour by Just Push Play. Tune in every Friday on Ustream and get informed on everything YOU need to know about north of center pop culture. (Slightly Edited by Mickey and D. Phezzuel Phree I. Pod)

In this episode, we and our free iPod pat ourselves on the back for aligning the Powerhouse Team of Awesomeness that is SomaCow Media, Inc. Five solid shows and a free iPod, each striving to entertain, inform, and excite their listeners, for the low, low price of free (as in free iPod)! You are not worthy. You say you listen, but do you REALLY? We’ll see, check the bottom of this entry for details (about the free iPod).

Apple 8GB iPod Touch Media Player with WiFi

We’re really looking forward to speaking with Drew Curtis of Fark.com next week, as he is a genius, a mogul, and the coolest internet not news provider ever. Plus, he may be reading and listening to this, so, yes.

We also toss out a solid salute to Wikipedia, for standing up to the pressure of thousands of Muslims as they desperately struggle to retain some dignity for their diety. Sorry, my dear friends-with-smooth-knees, the secret is OUT! Mohammad has a lazy eye, Mohammad has a lazy eye!

-Some called him Cassius…

We also discussed the tracts of hand, specifically, the irritation one feels when you realize that the guy working beside you is not only devoutly religious and reeking slightly of patchouli, but that he has waited until this exact time as you struggle to extricate yourself from the weeds to announce his desire to “save” your immortal soul. I guess it could be worse. You could be a waitress. Or even worse, still, get a SomaCow Sticker as a tip (which is no where near as cool as A FREE IPOD).

We also did a run down of the top 20 beers. Yeah, I said “as picked by Americans, but screw it. Americans just pick coors and natty ice. This guy has the straight dope on the long pull of the gold drink.

Tune in around the :40 to get some of Mickey’s Life Coaching. To thine own self, unless you are looking in a mirror or something, be true.

We sampled all the music across the land and found these to be the fairest of them all:

• Scissors for Lefty – Mama Your Boys Will Find a Home Soon
• NOFX – She’s Nubs
• Chixdiggit! – IRemember You

(all of those songs would sound extra awesome on a free iPod)
Free ipod. For reals.
Okay. So, you are here, at the end of the blog, and you are wondering – What is all the buzz about.

How about free iPod?

“But Geoff”, you wheedle, “I don’t want some crummy Nano. I know they just lowered the price on the 1GB to, like, $49.00, and I really don’t need a…”

It isn’t the Nano.

“Oh! Well, I mean… The old spin screen white model is pretty nice… I mean, it has video and stuff. I guess that’s pretty cool of you…”

It isn’t the old spin screen.

No, dear listeners, I am feeling high on the hog, or cranked on the cow, or whatever other euphemism you need. We are getting ready to celebrate one year of SomaCow Media, Inc. invading your ears and filling your life with laughter and sexy talk and the best Indie music known to man, and I feel generous.

So, I am giving one of You, loyal members of the Heard, an iPod touch screen.

All you have to do to win is listen, and pay attention, and answer 10 questions. Those questions will be posted this Friday, and we will draw the winner live from a hat filled ONLY with entries that have all correct answers. Here’s some boilerplate for you to stare at:

HOW TO ENTER

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. To enter, complete the entry form from our Quiz, with all answers being approved by the appointed panel by SomaCow Media, Inc. To be eligible, entries must be completed and received on or by April 15th, 2008. Incomplete entries will be disqualified. All entries shall become the property of SomaCow Media, Inc. SomaCow Media, Inc. is not responsible for lost, misdirected or delayed entries. Entries received by telephone, fax, smoke signals, random shoutout, courier (including but not limited to bipeds and pigeons) or personal delivery will not be accepted.

CONTEST RULES:

1. The contest is open to the general public as well as anyone currently subscribing to SomaCow Media, Inc. products (except residents of Deltona, Fl [it's a miserable place]), of age of majority. Employees of SomaCow Media, Inc., advertising and promotional agencies and their respective affiliates and associates and such employees’ immediate family members and persons with whom such employees are domiciled are excluded from this contest. Any questions as to your eligibility should be sent to somacow@gmail.com wherein you may plead your case. I wish you luck.

2. The prize is not redeemable in cash and must be accepted as awarded.

3. Decisions of the contest judges are final. No appeals. Hush. Just shut up and win.

4. By claiming the prize, the winner authorizes the use, without additional compensation of his or her name and/or likeness and/or voice/photograph and municipality of residence for promotion and/or advertising purposes in any manner and in any medium (including without limitation, radio broadcasts, newspapers and other publications and in television or film releases, slides, videotape, distribution over the internet and picture date storage) which SomaCow Media, Inc. may deem appropriate. Hubba. Hubba.

5. In accepting the prize, the winner, and any guest(s), acknowledges that SomaCow Media, Inc. may not be held liable for any loss, damages or injury associated with accepting or using this prize(s). Seriously, WTF are you doing with an MP3 player stuck up there, anyway?

6. The person(s) whose name(s) is drawn from the finalized collection of correct and completed entires as being the winner(s) of the specific prize will be required to provide a mailing address to redeem their prize.

G. Winners must reply in positive to a release form as prepared and accepted by SomaCow Media, Inc. acknowledging their acceptance and understanding of the contest rules.

LVI. SomaCow Media, Inc. retains the rights, in its absolute and sole discretion, to make substitutions of equivalent kind or approximate value in the event of the unavailability of any prize or component of the prize for any reason whatsoever. Don’t worry, barring Steve Jobs going nutty and exploding the store I am going to, or some kind of giant pandas from space invasion where the human race is enslaved and/or eaten by our new, furred masters, you will get the iPod.

10. This contest is subject to all federal, provincial and municipal laws. So, if its illegal, you may not play.

10. SomaCow Media, Inc. reserves the right to withdraw or terminate this contest at any time without prior notice. You know what? This is a shitty rule. Strike it!

10. You will get the 8GB version. Deal with it. 8GB is a lot. It would hold all of SomaCow Media’s shows, and that is all you will ever need.

14. Contest is most certainly NOT open to Canadian residents. Unless you are hot, and or comment the blog a whole bunch in a meaningful way. Meaningful is a term to be decided on strictly by me. And J. And Mickey, maybe, if he has time.

J. One entry per person.

Dear Listener,

In case you missed it, Geoff is dipping into his pockets full of beefy juicy cash to purchase an iPod. He is then going to take that iPod and give it to a listener for free. Could that listener be you? (If you are hot, and really want to win… you know the drill… we might could maybe work something out. Ok? Shhhhhhh…)

And, just in case, February 19th, 2008 – SomaCow Media bought a new microphone, Debe from Say … Anything was the first one to use it. Something silly and trivial might be important on your quest to obtain the free iPod that Geoff is giving away to one of our lucky listeners.

Good luck, I hope you win the free iPod. That would be totally cool.

Lurv,

Mickey

Again, if you are not eh best at paying attention, you can buy your (Non)Free iPod today!
