Here it is.

Man, this day has been nuts . . . going to make an effort to make it less nuts! First step will be to remove more crap from computer and second will be to get out of the basement today and breathe some fresh air.

Show have fallen victim to fresh air for today. Blame mother nature ;-).

Not a good morning so far

For starters, Betsy and I knock out an 18 minute show and when I go to save it Explorer freezes up, desktop icons disappear and task bar is gone. No big deal. I can restart Explorer right? Nope. Doesn't matter SoundForge saves a temp file of the recording and will recover it when I reboot. Nope, show's poof gone.

So I then get on the horn with Sony about a replacement recovery disc that I bought for my main system that hasn't arrived. Turns out that their web system holds orders in memory on a server someplace in the world and then transfers it to a "confirmation" server that then enters the order into their system.

Hello, Sony, 1998 called and they want their antiquated state-of-the-art jalopy web application back. When I asked about why the order isn't processed immediately online SINCE I WAS ISSUED AN ORDER NUMBER I was told that I could talk to a supervisor. My reply, "Listen, I don't have time for this. Please send me the discs."

The short of it was that my information was in the system for 7 days, no confirmation (WTF?) and when I ordered the part over the phone . . . my order was instantly confirmed and will be shipped today. So if you need to buy a part for your computer from Sony don't use that thingy called the internet made of the tubes . . . pick up Alexander Graham Bell's miracle device from 1876, speak into it and someone from Sony will be right with you to confirm and ship your order.

We'll be a little late with today's show

Hey guys, today's show is going to be a little late. With the storms tonight we are having a hard time getting Maggie down to sleep. So we are going to call it a night and hang with her since she is pretty freaked out by all the thunder.

We'll knock out a show in the morning that I will try to have up by 10 a.m.

Also, wanted to say thank you to everyone who posted comments and sent emails after the last show.

The banner says #400 and it is correct
Betsy wants cards now
I am 50 percent of this show sucka!
You treat me like your cousin with a pick-up truck
"Don't ask me to help you move"
Put a sticker on my Volvo
"Don't ask me to help you podcast"
Suburban drama for you Kris
I have been hiding it all day
Bait and switch, You're like a dog Mr. B
Looked into the mailbox
And apparently some of our garbage blew into a neighbors yard
A ton of wet garbage was in it
There was orange stuff like I made it
If it had been out there a week why didn't you pick it up?
I haven't walked by it for a week
Since these people like grass so much
I am going to stuff their mail boxes with grass clippings
The 70 year old moms with college age kids here
One mommy walking on the other side of the street
I should segue back to when we first started the show
Bear you got to try
What has happened over time?
You started out positive . . . now look at you
I started out negative with no expectation for happiness in the burbs . . . now look at me
Yeah, I never leave the house
You keep driving my car
I have driven it 60 miles in the last 6 weeks
The last 800 have come from you
I feel tacky riding around with no hood ornament
What goes around comes around
Before we left for Seattle I was supposed to tell the traffic ticket story
Well, the court story from Denver
I didn't lie to you . . . I just didn't tell you
I knew better than to tell you
I was in a little Scion
Sure I was driving too fast
Has road food so swelled your man cleavage that you can't see the speedometer?
Speed limit should have been 65
Would Mr. Michael Scott please stand up?
This woman stands up
Judge asks 3 times if the person standing is Mr. Michael Scott
I'm thinking Steve Carell from the Office
People at my meeting told me it was speed trap
Made jokes that Colorado is out to get me
I knew on my way to the meeting that I wasn't going to tell
30 minutes of you yelling at me on the show
You would have told me that I was going to end up in jail
Mr. Michael Scott turns out to be a trucker
Betsy says, being pulled over while being tranny


We made it to #400! Thanks for letting us be a part of your life and allowing us to make you laugh. Yes, life is show prep and full of Croncast moments.

Thanks to Bernadette for this review and write up!

Kosso Rocks. Here's why . . .

Not just because he can pull off a black suit with white Puma's but because he is showing Croncast some love at Podcast.com.



During Gnomedex, Kosso added Croncast to the recommended list of podcasts on the home page at Podcast.com. Thus, making him the coolest British guy that I know. Prior to the addition he already held the title but this solidified his status in my British Friend Hall of Fame Museum (BFHFM).

If you know of a couple thousand square feet, or maybe a couple square feet, that would be available for me to start the physical version let me know.

When friends crush you in absentia

I don't think I will ever look at Scott the same again.

I logged into facebook and my first update item from friends was this horrific sentence:
"Scott Simpson removed "Royal Tenenbaums" from his favorite movies."

I'm losing my voice again
Thanks to your children
Serves you right!
Mr. "In a minute"
Hitting refresh is not a job
Doing who is queries all day
The fact that you know what a who is query is . . . time for love love
The pitter patter of Gigi upstairs
Don't spray that in your eye
Maggie locked me in the basement
Every woman in this house locks me in the basement
Once she realizes I am on one side and she is on the other she freaks out
Daddy, daddy dadddy
I begin to stress because I hear the crying
It activates that parental thing in me
There is one way out other than crawling out
A big man in a small window
Yeah, it is like fat women and little dogs
I begin yelling for the other one to come and unlock the door
The dogs start barking
I'm screaming at the top of my lungs
I start yelling up the vents hoping Elliot would hear me
Why didn't you just stick one man titty at a time out the window and ease out
You need to get out of the house Mr. B
I really wish we could spend time together at things like the Great American Yard Sale
You could be my wing man Mr. B
Anyways, I got you
Who wants to play with plushies with you
Betsy does improv class night two
It will make me a better listener, Kris
It has brought insight into your life
I have learned what it is like to be a man
Someone will redirect you in the moment and you can move on
I just think you've got a brain like golden retriever
I don't have to be a tree at home
We should have a family game night with improv games
Oh, wait I have an idea . . . how about family HTML programming night right before dessert
The new dude walks in to class and he is a programmer
I thought you were a coder
I can smell it on your breath
What does it smell like?
Your mother's basement
It was super fun
I had a near death experience Mr. B
How does that happen when all you do is go and get coffee and hit up Goodwill
I put down the mocha latta
I'm parked next to a big shiny Lexus
Maggie freaks and I open my car door into the car
Then I see that the car is occupied
Fuck you and your fucking small car
The woman gets out of her car very slowly
I don't know what you are supposed to do in that situation
It's a Volvo, it's bullet proof, don't touch me
It gets worse
I did what any self respecting mommy would do
I lick my shirt and rub the mark off her car
She makes eye contact and says, "Stop licking my car"
My ass was grass
Get your lips off my Lexus
I had successfully removed the scratch with my magic eraser finger
I hit your car but I successfully slimed off the mark
The dust of Elk Mountain
I would get arrested for that
I know what I am going to do
I ran
I ran away from her
I picked up Maggie and ran
If she hits my car, well, it is insured
I wasn't going to wait until she popped out my eye teeth
Betsy will minimize anyone else's shit
Just because you don't care about your car doesn't mean other people don't
The Dust of Montrose
Was my greatest vacation ever
Your not helping me out Mr. B
The Great American Yard Sale has moved to a mall parking lot
Westfield shopping center won't know what hit
Welcome to camp Junk Ass
One legged box races
There are some one legged people that can gallop
I need you to help me out
I'll get there at four in the morning and it will give me a 10 minute head start
They stole my Jaguar off my hood
What it the whole point of owning the Jaguar is the stupid little shiny thing
Yeah, now it is next to some kids tee ball trophy
Dealership says none in stock
Ornament $211, labor $78 and with tax it will be about $330
Didn't you have any markings on it?

Josh Hallett is a funny man, the real Kris Smith
2 comments      Added on August 15, 2007 by Kris
Thanks to Josh for putting this post together, "Will the Real Kris Smith Please Step Forward".

It kind of became the joke of our Saturday night out in Seattle and is even more funny to see the transformation side by side.

All in the span of 30 minutes the guys told me to go get coat because it would cool down and my t-shirt wouldn't cut it. When I went back to my room all I had was the sport coat and it didn't look too good with the ringer t underneath it. Hence, the "serious business-man-out-on-the-town-Kris" in the trusty black t-shirt.

The pic on the left was taken by Dave Winer and the one on the right by Josh.
