Even with some alleged short term memory loss, it was pretty easy to remember the first topic from this hour. Elross put it very plainly, in bold, WEED!

Geoff believes that he is now for legalization of marijuana. California is looking into it, as tax revenue. Just think of how much money would be made! I talk to people all the time, of all ages, who say “oh, yeah, we smoke pot”. They are professionals, all ages, all races. Pot smokers are not just college students or drop-outs being lazy and getting high while watching Up In Smoke or Dazed and Confused anymore. It is recognized by many for its medicinal properties and for just relaxation. So why is it still illegal? Mickey thinks it makes you lazy. Maybe the people for the legalization just don’t have the drive to get out there and make changes?

So besides this, the man thing of the week was discussed. Geoff turned the wheel, Mickey forgot to minimize his porn surfing, Ross is thinking, and J snored? I guess that’s manly. Women snore, I know I have and my mom does but I guess we just don’t admit it often? Or maybe the men just don’t complain. Probably the latter.

Mickey’s life coaching centered around the current schools in our system and how worthless they are. Did you get a good education? Was it public? private? How about your kids?

Many men say to look at your girl’s mom and you’ll see your future. But what about guys? Are you like your dad? Do you look like him or act like him? I know that the things I was immediately attracted to in Geoff absolutely resembled my dad.

Are you in the Central Florida area? If so, we’re trying to plan an ice skating meetup/tweetup on June 13th. You can check out the details (or add suggestions) here!

And we are still working out the details on the Cure for the Run on August 22nd. We’re trying to nail down the charity. Have you had experience with charity functions? Maybe you can assist us! We’d love to get your input. You can discuss it with us here. You can donate via paypal to somacow@gmail.com and just put “cure for the run” or some other designation for it!

In this, their middle hour, the guys discussed food (hey, they had a guest 3rd hour, had to bump it up), manly things… and more food.

Geoff’s been having to go out of town a lot for his work, which really makes us relish the time we have together. Last week, we went out for a nice evening of sushi. The place we went to normally has tons of people in it, but I guess in this economy delicious raw fish is the first thing to go. The good side of that meant an empty restaurant where Rowan could babble to her heart’s content. Afterward, we enjoyed a nice cup of coffee while listening to some guy be manly leaving his Cobra running the whole time. What of that? Maybe he was getting a little something something? Either that or he liked to watch people drink coffee under an old bank drive thru while big and tall men enter the one store for them left in town.

You know what though? It was a great night. It used to be that a great night meant going out downtown all dolled up, finding some great music and drink specials, and crashing at home until noon the next day. With work and SomaCow Media and Rowan, I’ve come to appreciate that time together, away from the TV and computer and bills, as simple as it might seem.

Oh crap, this is the SomaCow blog, not the Jen blog so back to the show.

Oh to be manly. J went to Red Lobster and refused  the most expensive thing on the menu that they accidentally brought him, in lieu of what he wanted. In return, they got all kinds of free stuff! I guess that’s pretty manly. If not, he also made some martinis which is always a great back up. Mickey taught his sister how to fly. Geoff didn’t listen to a woman. I’m sure that woman was not me, what?

Listener Glenn actually recorded his manly thing of the week! The guys put out the challenge to everyone to do that and post it in reply to Glenn’s found here.

One thing they did listen to me about was popcorn. Yeah, I know a way to get myself and Rowan in the studio now and then. On twitter, I’m following Kernel Encore, a popcorn place that is Ben Hur! I won their weekly twitter drawing and they sent me a 12-pack of sample bags (which could feed a couple people each) for us all to share. I let the guys try to figure out what I gave them, and they were pretty good at it. The guava one surprised me, I thought it would be funky but it was very tasty. I also kind of liked the beer popcorn. J took home about 3 bags of it so he’ll have to let us know Friday at the live recording how those were.

In this hour, Mickey gave us some Gulf War Stories, we talked for a few moments with twitter.com/beachbeat (Who still insists that she is NOT Drew Garabo calling in with an Orlando Magic halftime report, and we each provided our Manly Thing of the Week.

Those of you that know Mickey know pain. Wait, no. Those of your that no Mickey gnaw pine. Crap… The guy is just…
Okay… You know how there is a river, or better yet, a creek? Or just a puddle. Yes. A Puddle.

So there is this puddle, and it is just sitting there. Maybe it has a dull sheen of what could be motor oil or Arby’s Roast Beef Rainbow Juice resting on top of it. So, you engage this puddle, and it sucks you in, and traps you forever in a mirror realm where conservative ideas seem sound, dogs are vile and to be avoided, and calculus is easy. Oh, and the puddle is deep. Like fathoms. Crazy deep. You get down there, and Captain Nemo is all like, “Whoa, this be deep, yarr” and you stare at him, cause he isn’t supposed to talk like a Pirate, but this is Mickey we’re talking about, and shit like that just happens. And while you are entirely sure you are not drowning in this puddle, you are still offput the entire time you have your face down there, cause it’s just not what you are used to. In this hour, we get a glimpse a bit deeper into Mickey’s Puddle. I mean, the dude sat on a nuke and pointed it around the ocean, and says it was, “kinda boring”.

We’d like to thank Beach Beat for calling in, and apologize again for any confusion. Essentially, Ross is on the social media sites during the show, pimping, hooking, and acting a lot like Cheech Marin outside a Mexican Burlesque Bar, roping in passers-by and generally selling what we are doing inside. It’s enough to make me consider employing a phone screener. Maybe we can have a Beach Report next week, helping us to find the best place to stay this summer.

I’d also like to thank the boys down at Just Brakes for getting my car running again. It was expensive, but from all accounts, the same work at my dealership would have been thousands, and I am happy to have paid what I did.

Ross’s Manly segment wins this week. Peeow! PeeeOW!

Thanks for listening, and remember to save the date for August 22nd!
