Baby, I been 33 for a week and realized something
You are beautiful
You've go a style all your own
Did senility set in?
You've got the reverse mullet
I need to get this woman a PBR
You got the part up front and business in the back
A very serious paradigm shift
So sorry for you sucka
You gots to see the business coming
You have requested I sell everything I own
Mine, my stuff
I bring up your rings
What did you tell me, Betsy?
Yeah, whatever
You can get your second wife bigger rocks than these
Diamond guns
I'll have diamonds falling out of my shirt sleeves
And now after taxes we can live off of it for a month
Spending money breathing
Garrick said, "It's expensive to wake up in the morning."
Paying to get through the day
Gotta get paid while you sleep
People do buy it now while I am snoring away
We bought ourselves a little time
Thanks to Chris Brogan, Rob Shore, John C Havens and others for leads
Head over to Croncast.com and check my resume
Oh, what are you doing?
Big stress doesn't lend itself to thinking about the holidays
His TV is buying a doll and a fruit tray
I'm queen of the wives
Speaking of this
Evan and I got into trouble with this last week
"what do you wives do?"
We said "Naperville" the wives don't work
I could be making $10 slanging slurpees
And you would still be at home
We could get a Jaguar gift certificate
Maybe the Volvo should disappear?
I called ChildServ to see if I can get on schedule
Back to my story
I was Christmas shopping
I am not going buy anything Made in China
Especially not a doll
What?
Have you gone all blue collar?
They'll poison your toothpaste and feed you Aqua Dots
I don't get this
I buy retail once a year
It's ok if it is gifted to Goodwill and you get it?
Hell yes
Even American Girl Dolls are made in China
So I am working this doll tip
You can't find any dolls that are not made in China
Betsy is out to change the world
She has always been fascinated with China
Chinese history books are all over the house
I grill Betsy on it as she avoids
This isn't about improv
I think the Cultural Revolution were interesting
I am trying to make this easy for you to understand
Olympic questions next
It'll be fine as long as no one gets pregnant
Dexter on Showtime has been great this season
WGA strike
Screw the studios . . . these writers should get on with it online

Another day of short show notes. Apologies to my people.

Today is Tell A Friend Friday. Pick one of your people and let'em know about the show. Next week I'll make this easier with some links to some of the favorite shows, but for now feel free to tell your friend about your favorite show.

Show us some love and leave us a review at iTunes

Short show notes:
Betsy mimics the intro word for word with her telepathy Why the hell are you the director Mr. B?
You are busting the chemistry
It's a good thing that we can still speak after 11 years of marriage
You wouldn't have ever done this show if it weren't for me
Baby, you take some improv classes and now you want to be in charge
I'm going to Boca to sit on my driveway and watch traffic
I'll tell you about direction
You have started telling the same jokes to new people
I have to stand there and act like they are brand new and funny
It's not tired I just have make sure it fits
Very timely . . . but if they listened to show #101 they would realize that I made that joke the first time around
Mr B! I would never steal your jokes
That is why I am directing . . . I watch you tell these jokes
I won't expect you to show up every time
So you stole the joke from Judy?
Comment time
Come over and see my new dog . . . it's a Lab
Uh, sorry to tell you your square faced dog is a pit bull
No, Betsy, it is pit bull and lab
The dog doesn't like men
What it mans to wear pineapple pants
CaptRespect (thanks for the write up) asks about cyclists
Rosa says Betsy should be on What Not to Wear - I agree
Her friends have already threatened to do it
Dan asks, why does he like this show so much? Kris's jokes . . . next question
Cyclists make us jealous because they get up so early and are fit
Easy way to tell a friend about the show . . . just do the intro to the show for your friend.

How about those musical transitions?

Tue, 10 Apr 2007 06:32:34 -0500

In response last night to a comment from CaptRespect:

"First musical segways, next commercials! It's the end of croncast as we know it!"

I left this:

Yikes! I can stop that one right quick. It's not the end of the show as you know it!

After testing out the transitions for a week I've grown tired of doing them and have found in my case, as the producer, they really don't add anything. I would venture to say that they are taking something away.

All that they really prove is that I can work a non-linear editor. Big whoop.

What I was trying to do was give Croncast some of the same treatment that I give client work. I was taking my time, listening to the entire show, looking for awkward phrasing, mic pops and all kinds of other stuff I have never done with our show.

CaptRespect, I feel your concern . . . and actually shared it this morning as I was putting together today's show. If we were putting the show out once a week and I could dedicate a good 10-12 hours to editing then I think the transitions would stay. I don't think they quite follow our show form.

But either way, if they stay or if they go, at least I tried something new with the show.

Thanks, Frick, Bob, CaptRespect and the rest of you who have sent emails for or concerned about the change.
