SomaCow Media is proud to present SomaCow brought to you by Adam and Eve.

In this, their finest hour, the guys visited Apps, comedians, and comics.

So as Geoff and I get further into our iPhones, we find cooler and cooler apps. Geoff got me this tranquil thingy where you move your finger over zen like water. He also got me a poker dice game which I’m totally addicted to. And now…Myst! Yep, Myst on my iPhone. What’s your favorite app?

Between the show Friday, Geoff’s twittering, and the forum, the guys are building up quite the list of favorite comics out there. I think a top 50 will be coming soon! Who are your favorites?

And did you hear? The long discussed Archie comics debate here on SomaCow has come to an end, at least for Archie. Betty or Veronica? Who did he choose?

I’m sorry this isn’t longer. The episode is great, it’s just that I’m so full of Thai food right now I’m going to burst before I can even watch the Magic game tonight! (Last night if you’re reading this when it’s posted) so I am going to sit back and kick a pig or something.

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!

 

 293: Wait, where is our producer? [59:05m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

SomaCow Media is proud to present SomaCow, brought to you by Icabod’s. If you have to be out of town, in a horrible grey haired city for work, at least you can be lucky enough to have an Icabod’s. Just check out the “wicked” menu!!!

In this 2nd hour, the guys realize that Ross isn’t here! I guess hour one was so Geoff-centric that they just didn’t even notice! No seriously, they missed their producer and look forward to him being back safely from his trip to PA and back in studio this week.

Speaking of coming home, Geoff was also out of town this week but he traveled the other direction on I-75, straight into hell! Well, Ft Myers, but close enough. The only good thing for him was the per diem covered meals. While he is on Atkins, he was able to find great new restaurants with a great variety of meals, but that damn tricky sugar. He actually had one waitress tell him that there was no sugar in something and he went with his ever shrinking gut and asked the manager who said “oh no, that’s covered in our sweetest sauce”. I mean what if the sugar would have killed him? So while it was nice to have some variety and newness, eating out while out of town also can suck.

Oh but the other great thing about Ft Myers is all of the grey hair and funky clothing. Geoff poses the question as to whether those people wore the pink polo shirts with the white pants up north or did they just get them down here? And why not just make those clothes popular with the younger crowd again? Great hats maybe? Can hats make a comeback?

What clothing would you like to see come back into style? I think I’d like to see the long “t-shirts” that we wore as dresses in the 80’s…

Now see would a question like the one above make you call in? Would it make you even comment on this blog? The guys discuss with the live chat room what exactly would make them call in. Trivia? Controversy? Pop culture? What would you call in to discuss?

And would you call in on your new iPhone? I would! Yeah, Geoff got us both iPhones (but we just call them phones). They are fun and apps are fun to add. We knew it was bad when we were both sitting in front of our laptops, on our iPhones.

And don’t forget at the :40, Mickey’s life coaching about following through.
