SomaCow Media is proud to present SomaCow, brought to you by Twitter because it’s something we talked about which is linkable!

It’s been a good run.  282 episodes of self aggrandizing pattings of our own backs.  I’m just as surprised as you are.  I just bought a brand new set of headphones.  I had to go with the lower cost SkullCandy HESH style.  I wanted the new Dr Dre Beats headphones, but our sales staff refuses to sell our show to advertisers, and thus, I do not have the 350 bucks required to pay for Dr Dre’s fantastic sounding headphones.

This all kind of sucks.  I just invested some money in more ram, a few more hard drives, and updated software.  I walk into the studios and BAM!  Geoff hits me with the announcement that podcasting is dead.  Not our show, just the whole “industry” and “genre” and whatever of podcasting.  All of it.

I blame the PC movement.  Not the Mac vs PC crap, the Politically Correct pansification of America.  5th place trophies, straight B honour roll, and the “make every child feel good” kind of PC’ism.

Add in the YouTubers of the world who have absolutely nothing good to say about anything, ever, and you have angry, school shooting, starry-eyed, uber-optimistic kids who do not know their own limitations.

Poor Timmy just cannot add.  Shh, don’t tell him, he may cry.

Well, you know what Timmy, you suck at math.  You also suck at photoshop.  Stop it.  Close MS Paint, shut down your computer, and walk away.  There is something you might be good at, but this ain’t it.

Singing badly should not make you famous.  So stop trying to sing She Bang.  It’s a shitty song regardless of who is singing.

SomaCow Media, Inc. is proud to present SomaCow, brought to you in this hour by The Olde Cup and Saucer. It’s the best damn gypsy business in town, and Jen and I absolutely love it.

In this episode, we discussed my newfound love for tea, in all its forms, from the new Pure Leaf stuff being pimped by Lipton to this special magic brew oolong bomb secret spicy tea I am drinking. I only ask 2 things from my tea – be cold, and not taste like rotting fruit. There is NOTHING worse than tea that has sat in a cistern at a fast food restaurant for too long, and now every sip makes you wonder if it was brewed from the grout cleanings at the local YMCA shower. Except maybe Nestea. Holy crap, there must be acid in that stuff, like, scour your pooldeck acid, cause it will give you the burning coughy all day long.

We tried out a new segment, where I quiz my fellow hosts in an effort to determine who is paying attention. I think it was fun, Mickey and J looked silly, and the listeners enoyed playing along, so I think I will make it a Staple each week. Play along in the chatroom, and prove to everyone else that you are the smart!
We talked about a terrible story from Hawaii, where bureaucracy has caused one family the ultimate in suffering. For shame, faceless governmental agency sprouting needlessly from our senseless fear… For SHAME.

We also talk about my MAN! He may not be as lefty as Kucinich, or as outsidery as Ron Paul, but I feel like it is time. It’s time, for

I cannot wait! A vote for Obama is a vote against old people!

I choked down so much meat this week, that my olfactory isn’t making enough ol’ offal for me to get through Henry Rollins, so I cheated and pre-reviewed Mr. Black’s book. I am ashamed, you are nonplussed, Amazon is waiting for your credit card number.

We all agree that the writer’s strike, while lengthy, was unnecessary. After watching recent episodes of all the major evening shows, it is apparent that the writers were not what made the shows so good.

Mickey rarely suggests links, so you should take notice of these:

Funny or Die

You Suck At Photoshop

Andy Mila… Millakno…. Milinoc…. That Fat Greek Kid is NOT The Man Show Boy. I am serious, look it up.

Mickey also regaled us with a film that we must go see, if only to look for traces of Chrispy.
