SomaCow Media is proud to present SomaCow, brought to you in this hour by SeaDad. Take a moment, and reflect on all that he and soldiers, seamen, and such do to make our lives less explosive every day.

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!

SomaCow Media is proud to present SomaCow, brought to you in this hour by PrimetimeGeek.com – Felix is purported to have sped across the convention center, nabbing interviews and swag aplenty of the recent Orlando FX con, so, all you connie types, Con Up.

In this hour, we celebrated two years of phenomenal, swollen, and delicious podcasting. I did not know back then what the show would evolve into, but I like where it is going. One of our listeners has recently decided to go back and listen to the first 100 episodes of the show, and upon taking an earful of that… Holy Johnnycakes, man.

There is a significant difference from what we did in 2007 versus what we do now. In the past, I would rant and rave about THE THOUSAND INJURIES suffered at the hands of society I had borne, Mickey would tell long-winded stories about Steel, the Navy, Georgia, moving from Georgia to escape Steel and join the Navy, hating and loving the Navy while serving on a Steel boat and glad to be rid of Georgia, and Boobs. J would sit in silence, watching our furious back and forth and occasionally coughing between News Bombs.

Now, the show is a snap whiz sheboingo of  me ranting and raving about perceived injustices great and small, Mickey telling long winded stories about Alloys, Georgia, and his service in The Military. J now has a cough button, and he talks over us more. Oh, and we added Ross, a polarizing producer and twitterer extraordinaire that does a fine job of whatever it is that he does here, because it sure as hell isn’t making a decent cup of coffee.

I am really not kidding. Everyone remembers “the incident”, when he salted my drink seconds before a show, then played innocent, stating that he thought a giant container brimming with white crystals beside the coffee maker would contain only sweet minerals. This time, he tokes his way into my kitchen, Bob Marley music humming in his head, and ladles spoiled cream (like, spoiled in March, and this is April) into my java. The dude is trying to kill me. I thought it was his way of “trying to get me to get my own coffee”, but, the weird thing is that he ALWAYS offers to get it for me. Lord knows how much Rosspittle is floating in my stomach by now. Freak.

So, yes, we’ve morphed, changed, and continue to become whatever it is we are. I lose weight, Mickey starts drinking again, J is a rock, never changing, always late, and Ross is coming into his own as content contributor and host-poisoner. It’s fun, this show!

Our new Studio G continues to be constructed, with the electrician scheduled for this week, hopefully to be wrapped up before Friday. Hope you have enjoyed the last two years. Without one missed show, always fresh content, three days a week, 52 weeks a year, even on Holidays.

Did you use Napster? You pirate, you, Arrrr. If you haven’t already, check out this.

SomaCow, we may be funny or sad, we may be interesting or dull… But we are, at all times, consistent.

And persistent.

And perspiring. Seriously. That studio is an OVEN.

SomaCow Media is proud to present SomaCow brought to you by Redboy Podcast.

Hi everyone! It’s me, Jen. I’m filling in for Geoff while he nurses the baby, er, I mean, sleeps…

Do you miss me? You know, you can always come chat with me while I listen to SomaCow on Ustream, and also of course for Say… Anything. I know I miss my notetaking! I am going to do my best to let you know about this hour using Ross’s cryptic notes.

From the first three lines I can surmise that John Edwards had sex, Bernie Mac died, and the boys have a death wish on another comedian??

Then it says Budweiser is greater than divided by 3. Now I love math, but this formula has had me scratching my head so much the dogs are bringing me the Advantage! This led into “beer talk”. I do remember this from the live show…Kostritzer is teh yummy…

The next line says either WW IIII or WW VII but I think those are both wrong? No clue.

But opposite of war is peace, like the Olympics! The opener was supposed to be grand, and the guys want Bob Costas to get ‘STUF’fed? Do they think he’s too skinny?

Mickey peed in the Navy. OK, I really don’t understand how this is noteworthy! Unless he literally peed IN the Navy…but what does that even mean?

And the last note on the page is that Mickey was stranded at Burger King without paper. I guess Mickey likes taking notes, too?

Well, I know that reading these notes and trying to give them back to you, dear Heard, does not do the hour justice because when listening live from 1-2 PM Eastern last Saturday, it flew by and was quite entertaining. So take a listen, and maybe you can help me decipher these notes. We’ll call it a SomaCow mystery.

What wasn’t a mystery was the music this week!
