Moovie of the Week Review The Vanishing 3/5 SomaCow Media is proud to present SomaCow, brought to you in this hour by The National Debt. Get some! In this hour, Mickey, J and I eschew our standard fare and discuss some financial news YOU need to hear, Icees vs. Slurpees, and Gilligan’s Island. Random, aren’t we? Shut up and tune in, it’ll all make sense when it’s over.
First off, we talked about the giant, coughing, cancerous elephant laying in the middle of the room (not me), and what, if anything, could be done to resuscitate it. The scariest thing about an economy is that it DOES correct itself, and we have been enjoying several decades of uninterrupted “yay”. As the rollercoaster now seems to have plateaued off, what will the upcoming plummet feel like? If you have any sense, you are making hay right now for the dark times ahead. But it is easy for me to sit back and demand credit conscientiousness from you guys. It is easy for Mickey to state that you should “not buy what you cannot afford”. It is easy for J to snarf down a dozen gull shrimp. What isn’t going to be easy is extricating ourselves from this massive $700,000,000,000 debt. I am putting my daughter into trade school now, cause she is going to have to start making some serious payments now if we are ever gonna touch that principle. Speaking of touching Principals, nobody seems to have raped a kid this week! Hurray! What? Oh.
nevermind. SomaCow’s PSA of the week involves Slurpee Science, and how you can make a great frosty sugary beverage out of a bad situation. Between the falling standards at the modern 7-11, and the difficulty to even find a Kmart that does not have 11 hoboes and a tire fire in it, it is getting pretty damn dicey out there in the slushie territories. We finished the hour, sadly, discussing Gilligan’s Island, a.k.a the worst show on television, a.k.a. the sigil of all that is wrong with America, a.k.a. Brain Poison. Why is this show STILL being run? Who watches this crap? The Professor is a sexless automaton, tolerated only for his coconut technology, the Skipper is an abusive alcoholic, Ginger and Maryann are doing a double team on the back end a la Requiem for a Dream, the fat rich white people hold everyone at bay for fear of being touched by their jowls… This was the show that let me know it was time to go take a crap. I still poop at 5pm every day, thanks to mass syndication. We would never poop during the following great band’s efforts:
![Reblog this post [with Zemanta]](http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=a5a02203-ae09-4595-8df4-1226ee38673a) SomaCow Media is proud to present SomaCow, brought to you in this hour by Jen from Say… Anything Hi guys! So this was the first week without me, Jen, as the Producer. The guys decided that the pregnancy was making me a little too emotional and me crying in the talk back had proved too much for them to handle. So they brought in Ross. I think he’ll do well. I had to remind him to write down the music played, and the studio has a bit more of a man smell on Sundays, but I think I pounded home how important it is to hit record! He seems to be doing well. Geoff wanted to give him my laptop so he could interact but then what would I do? So I cried, and they relented, and I still have my trusty laptop to hang out with you guys Sundays in Ustream :) But hark! Ross is still in training and all of a sudden they are giving him the hopper (yeah, I’ve only been asking to do that since the old days) and letting him talk on the mic!?! I mean what the hell? See here’s the thing folks, it is very well documented that women can multi-task and guys can’t and Ross is a guy and I am a woman. See what I’m saying? Yeah, I thought so. Not bitter! No, seriously, Ross is going to do an awesome job and I’m going to enjoy spending these last few weeks of my pregnancy sitting in a comfortable chair…or bed…and listening and laughing with all of you! This year working with SomaCow has been fantastic. Not only because I got to work next to my best friend, Geoff, and my good friend, Mickey, and the lone voice of reason in this posse, J, but also because I love the show and I love to produce. I wanted more time to do things around the house, nest you could say, but I didn’t want to lose the producer position. Somewhere in my mind I pictured me being able to continue doing everything and just adding the SomaCalf into our lives, but I realize as the time draws nearer that this is not the case. So, with a slightly heavy heart but with all the confidence in the world, I have handed this trusty job over to Ross. Oh, I’ll still be around (you can always catch me on Say… Anything LIVE Tuesdays 7-8 PM Eastern). I have a feeling a proud dad will want to show off his daughter once or a million times so we’ll be close by. Maybe by the pool, but we’ll be listening. Hmm, how old can she be until she shouldn’t listen anymore? Eh, we’ll worry about that later. I’m seriously excited about being a mom. I talked about it some on a recent episode of Say… Anything but I love being a podcaster, producer, my-other-job-worker, wife and I didn’t know how mom fit in as it seemed some of those were being taken away. What I’ve come to realize, is that being a mom is a damn cool thing, and I can still love and support the show, just from another room. I think my favorite part of producing for SomaCow was being “silent”. It’s kind of like when you’re having sex and someone else is in the next room over so you have to be quiet…it SO intensifies the experience. Do you know how hard it is to try to be professional, and keep levels in check, and write notes for the blog, while also stifling your laughter every 2 minutes? Yeah, it’s hard. This wouldn’t be a Jen blog without me throwing in a question for you guys. See, I do this when I help out and write the blogs so you’ll comment so… comment! *ahem* What is your favorite SomaCow memory from the last year? What made you laugh the most? A brief synopsis of this episode…the guys love trivia (listen this Sunday to find out how they did!), there is a guy in the Army being picked on for being an Atheist (and he made a pretty good comment, if I may say so), J said a really funny line about tang and I cracked up (would have been hard to keep silent for that one), The Bible’s in a bunch of languages, religion vs science is discussed, Geoff does his Weekly Constitutional on a classic-Jelly Belly, bowling for boobs rocks as does fat guy olympics. Check out this music played (thanks Ross for the notes!):
See you all on Sunday! (click on that highlighted word “Sunday” to see where we all meet 2-5 PM Eastern every Sunday)
