In this hour, we discussed the recent championship action of the Orlando Magic basketball team. They have since gone on to clinch their series, which is making most Orlandoianites hoot and or holler. This gets us on the subjects of sports, bandwagonry, referees, and… ummm… colgate?

Sorry for any of you that were enjoying food when we got to that part.

Hey! We got a bunch more done on the new studio, so go swing by our forums and check out the work. I also posted some video Jen shot of the second day blow-in. +10 points for the first listener to guess how many hams I was smuggling under my yellow shirt that day!

Happy Birthday to Mustang Sally, by the by. She’s a damned peach, she is.

I gotta go find my Jaguars hat. Mickey keeps knocking it off.

SomaCow Media is proud to present SomaCow brought to you by ComaSow back and better than ever!

In this, their finest hour, the guys talked about mash-ups, kids’ books, and food (surprise surprise!)

So Geoff doesn’t like mash-ups. I have to agree with him, kind of. I guess I semi-agree with him? I remember some of the first mash-ups I saw and they were good, innovative, neat even! But since then the crap has been flying and Geoff will have nothing to do with it!

What is it with creativity? Has it really all been done? I’d love to speak to someone living about 200 years ago to see if they thought the same thing. We talked about this on ComaSow’s inaguralish new redesigning episode which you can listen to here. We need new stuff people! And I don’t mean like we get a Pulp Fiction and then 80 movies after that where the timing of the movie is all jumbled up. There has to be something!

Geoff and I made a resolution to read a book to Rowan every night. We have done a good job with many thanks to my family for about 50 books they gave her for Christmas. One that I loved, and was the subject of Geoff’s Weekly Constitutional, was Click, Clack, Moo, an early indoctrination into the world of unions via cows. What could be better?

And what 3rd hour would be complete without food talk? Even though the show is now live 7-10 PM it doesn’t mean that 3 hours of the best internet radio talk show, ever doesn’t make a man hungry! We found a great site for reviews and ratings of local restaurants. It had very few missing and we joined up to start reviewing where we eat. Hey, at least we feel that our eating out is making a difference! So check out Urban Spoon, and make your voice heard! We know you all have great palates.

And guess what? Our own Gary from Just Push Play is on TV! The schedule is changing this week but check in Monday to JPP live from 8 to 10 (if the crew has gotten rid of their sicknesses) to get the most up-to-date info.

SomaCow Media, Inc. is proud to present SomaCow, brought to you this hour by Guinness.

Ah, the majesty that is St. Augustine, Florida. Surely divine providence was in play when this noble town sprang forth from the yielding bosom of a fort known as Castillo de San Marcos (Literally, “Castle of Sand and Water Sports That Most Kids Cheat At”). We toured the Fort during the morning, which is the best time to stand stoically amidst the parapets and gaze upon the overweight and under entertained masses yearning to breathe air free from horsey poops.

As we approached, I was struck with awe and some shock to discover that the fort had never once fallen in battle, a feat made all the more amazing by the fact that it was defended by Spaniards that were apparently too short to mount the cannons high enough to fire over the wall. Luckily, the walls are crafted of a magical substance known as “Coquina”, which looks like some shelly concrete and apparently is capable of taking straight cannonballs to the balls all day with nary a complaint. Perhaps the Spanish could have avoided the upcoming shame of having their entire armada defeated by “Protestant Wind” by making their ships out of this stuff.

So, yeah, the fort is neat, and HAUNTED. Oogita Boogita, folks, I shit you not. Witness the strange “Golden Lights of El Dorado”, which cascade the prison bars/cheery windows/blessed aperture/ of this stable/mess hall/church:

If you are lucky enough to be touring the fort on any day we didn’t, at any time we didn’t, you apparently can thrill to the ritualistic shooting of a cannon sound effect, which is brought about by stout, hardy folk who go the extra length to keep the period illusion up. No bones about it, these guys toil in myriad ways to ensure that tourists are treated to a real sense of what things were like, “way back then”.

Tasty.

So, I told about my exploits, and Mickey informed me that he has never set foot out of Orlando in all the time he has been here. Imagine the sadness of such a life… Mickey has never experienced the soul-enriching experience of Dinosaur World, or Cypress Gardens, or Fuddruckers, or Yeehaw Junction, or any of the other glorious sand traps that make this mighty state dangle proud off the backside of America.

J, apparently, was too winded to comment. Although his skin did seem to crawl when I suggested we all live together and grow fruits.

PSA – Do not sleep to Discovery Health Channel, or, as I like to call it, the freak show tent channel. Holy crap, people… Try sleeping dreaming you are a 900 lb. dwarf half of a conjoined twin, fused at the throat with a hypertensive tumor named “Jasmine”… Just use the sleep timer or something, for crying out loud. No one needs that in their subconscious.

Mickey and J helped me understand that I had the lyrics to We Didn’t Start the Fire all wrong… What I had been singing was way off, apparently:

“Starkweather, homicide, children of the little mind”…

Who knew thalidomide was even a drug? When my mom felt preggo-antsy, she just fired up some good weed and had a few glasses of chardonnay and sallied forth. Weird.

And then Mickey started talking about Kiss. I am not sure what the hell he was driving at, but the boy needs help.

So, I had a good week, and hope you did as well! Please feel free to tell me tales of your own exploits in St. Augustine, or any other Florida Rest Stop you may frequent!

And a special Moo thanks to our friends Cassie and Jacki for this awesome homage shot during New Years Eve. Send us your creative pics!
