<br>
We've made it into the month of August<br>
You've now crossed into <a href="http://www.elkmountainresort.com">Elk Mountain Resort</a> and <a href="http://www.valhallashootingclub.com/">Valhalla Shooting Club</a><br>
Sure you don't want to bitch about Boulder some more?<br>
I like Boulder, there are just some things I don't<br>
We roll up and there is a guard tower<br>
Was he standing there with a rifle?<br>
No, Mr B<br>
It is a gorgeous view<br>
Flanked by beauty<br>
The guard comes ambling up to the Volvo<br>
Your names ladies?<br>
We give them, remember this<br>
"Do you ladies have any firearms with you?"<br>
No firearms in this Volvo<br>
This wagon is clear<br>
He gives us directions<br>
We roll on up<br>
Elk Mountain Resort is beautiful<br>
The valet pulls it four feet away and parks<br>
The woman on hotels.com just kept complaining about it<br>
She is nuts<br>
Jeannie says the place is like Annie<br>
Everyone stands to greet you as you walk in<br>
Then there was Santa Claus<br>
A dude with a white beard and red suit?<br>
No, he had a uniform and a "I love my job smile"<br>
He's got hot towels on a silver platter<br>
He looks at me and says, "Mrs. Smith would you like a towel?"<br>
He looks at Jeannie, "Mrs. Smith would you like a towel?"<br>
Shit, the deal is sealed, we are the dykes<br>
Welcome to first class<br>
It took us 9 hours from Boulder<br>
We'll make everything guided for you<br>
What time would you ladies like dinner?<br>
This Mrs. Smith would like to eat before 7:30<br>
Mrs. Smith and I would like to eat in 45 minutes<br>
Santa has an ear piece and a chest mic<br>
He talks into it and poof the bell hop appears<br>
We get to our room and the view is gorgeous<br>
If you don't like it dial "0"<br>
The bed looks like a cloud from heaven<br>
I got Wal-Mart sheets<br>
Jeanie, "We have robes!"<br>
Hers and hers robes would have been nice<br>
So we get dressed for dinner<br>
It was intimidating, we felt like we didn't fit<br>
Then I bust out the gift certificate<br>
We wanted to play it cool<br>
Sure, you want to fit in<br>
They were nicer than your grandma who hasn't see you in three years<br>
Every time you walk in the door the staff stands<br>
Oh, are you ladies here for dinner?<br>
I'll announce you, then he speaks into his lapel, "The Smiths are here for dinner."<br>
You haven't told them yet?<br>
No I was waiting for Jeannie<br>
Who's the man, the big footed one with a bad perm<br>
Are there any other guests at the resort?<br>
Two other men not talking<br>
There were 10 total guests at the resort<br>
We order our dinner and they ask for drinks<br>
My mom always orders the house wine, the cheap stuff<br>
I'll have a Mountain Dew won't go over well<br>
Jeannie hates red wine but follows Betsy's lead<br>
Hi, I'm Chef Jeff, which house wine is best for you?<br>
They start bringing out bread baskets and baked stuff<br>
Chef Jeff is like, "Fuck dude! I worked on that all day and you can't say it."<br>
I look at Jeannie, I can tell she doesn't like it<br>
Been there and done that<br>
Jeannie is woofing it down<br>
I have to eat at least half of it<br>
The two men eating alone are now joined by someone I recognize<br>
The owner that I had seen on The Daily Show<br>
Kris if you kick it up a notch we can do this every weekend<br>
He comes over to the table<br>
Asks what activities we are going to do<br>
ATV's and shooting<br>
We are the only resort in the entire world to have access for ATV's<br>
Jeannie, "I love the outdoors but I can't go up high"<br>
Our ATV's are automatic<br>
They've thought of everything<br>
Yes, everything<br>
On the ride you will come to a place called Top of the World<br>
So high that airplanes will fly below<br>
Then he launches in to the special lights<br>
These are based on the biologic make up of a lobster's eye<br>
They are used to melt the snow to make an ice tunnel<br>
Mr. Foreman continues to talk about the press they have gotten<br>
A book on the NYT Best Sellers list is based at Elk Mountain Resort<br>
He had me sold . . . I wanted to kiss a bear and drive to the top of the world<br>
Why would you think that you couldn't do something?<br>
Tom Foreman makes you believe that you can do anything<br>
Enter the rest of the guests<br>
Three sets of couples that look like my neighbors<br>
Fit soccer moms?<br>
Yes, Kris<br>
I just drove 4 states over to get away from them<br>
Now they are going to spoil my mountain view<br>
Mr. Foreman goes over to the new couples<br>
The super sweet firebox<br>
Then our food comes<br>
Every time there was another opportunity to be put in our place<br>
We were still really awkward<br>
Betsy has a bowl of puss and I get a bowl of noodles<br>
It was couscous Jeannie<br>
Jeannie starts to panic, all I get are these noodles<br>
Campbell's has everything including broth<br>
Then they bring the broth<br>
After that they bring out dinner<br>
The whole thing was terrific<br>
Except that we were both completely terrified<br>
To get over the petrification of being treated so well and Elk Mountain Resort  stay more nights<br>
Kris you are the king of upgrade<br>
So after dinner Santa jumps up<br>
We get our bill after dinner<br>
Betsy goes white<br>
Shut up Jeannie, I'll tell you later<br>
The one thing you can't return is food<br>
What I was freaking out about was that our house wine turned out to be $18 a glass<br>
From their perspective, the lesbians aren't satisfied<br>
Chef Jeff asks if dinner was to their liking<br>
Then Thomas comes over and asks<br>
After that the waitress comes up<br>
Sure, they are trained like the CIA to read unhappiness<br>
What would you ladies like to do?<br>
We would like a jacuzzi?<br>
Our eyes meet and we realize . . . they aren't out to get us . . . they are out to spoil us<br>
Drinking our sangria in the hot tub<br>
The cheap wine was awesome<br>
Betsy took 100 pics of the tops of trees<br>
At the Boulder art fair there was a dude with aspen photos<br>
So we retire to the room and Jeannie puts on a robe<br>
Sliding into the bed of heaven<br>
Mrs. Smith, this is going to be the greatest night of my life<br>
The greatest part of this is that I have no kids to wake me up<br>
Betsy wakes up at 6:01 for coffee and viewing birds that were probably released for my pleasure<br>
Do you know how much this is costing per minute? Get up Jeannie<br>
We decide to take a hike<br>
We start to walk by workers that gardening<br>
When they see you they stop, stand, smile and ask you if you need anything<br>
Landscapers saw us, they froze like deer<br>
When we went by them they commenced working again<br>
Tom has thought of everything<br>
When a crossed eyed man in golf cart tells you "good luck" heed his warning<br>
People are freezing along the trail "I'm a tree. I'm a tree. I'm a tree"<br>
Maybe the trail was made for someone who came one time<br>
Betsy, they did not release cows into the national forest for you to view<br>
Queue the cattle<br>
Someone left it on the comment card no doubt<br>
Gotta watch out for the feral cows<br>
Jeannie was petrified of them<br>
Now you know why he told you good luck<br>
That guy used to not be cross eyed till a cow incident<br>
We can hear them shrieking and yelling<br>
There they are . . . the soccer moms on the zip line<br>
Whew, my Nike sports bra is twisted<br>
We are on our way back<br>
Jeannie freezes as we stand on 
Have you told anyone that you are not Mrs. Smith?<br>
I see two brown ears rising out of this draining ditch<br>
Out jumps a giant mule deer<br>
Betsy chases it to take it's photo<br>
The lesbians are crazy!<br>
What are the lesbians doing now?<br>
Time for lunch on the patio<br>
We need some cigarettes and an ashtray<br>
"Can I have an ashtray?"<br>
She speaks into her cleavage mic<br>
Around the corner, "I'm on it"<br>
I know it is fun to play spies but this is weird<br>
It was awesome though, instant ashtray<br>
Lesbians are on porch, queue deer<br>
Queue the geese<br>
Then the soccer moms come bouncing back fit and tan<br>
"Where are you guys from?"<br>
Bloomington. "We are going to drive through there."<br>
Their husbands, reserved and uptight<br>
Screw it, this is all about me<br>
I am going to make the soccer moms laugh<br>
She swore that she was thirsty and all the sudden water showed up<br>
"Guess how many kids we have?"<br>
I don't know this is a game?<br>
We have 10 combined?<br>
How many are girls?<br>
One<br>
Then they struck a bad ass soccer mom pose<br>
They brought things like running shoes<br>
Betsy brought Crocs and sandals<br>
Perfect lesbian gear<br>
The soccer moms told us that the ATV's were awesome<br>
We get ready to go and Misha shows up<br>
I have done this ride 500 times and not lost 1 person yet<br>
She takes out these top gun flight suits<br>
I brought you the biggest ones we have<br>
Betsy, "Of course mine won't zip up"<br>
Jeannie, "neither will mine"<br>
Jeannie you rock!<br>
This could be customer service boot camp<br>
Their motto must be "we are not going to tell you no"<br>
They actually import vans from Europe to fit through their gates<br>
Probably because it is more aesthetically pleasing<br>
This is my new motto, "It is all about me"<br>
Betsy gives me the thumbs up and then hits a tree<br>
So we're going up the mountain<br>
Jeannie is flying behind Misha<br>
Betsy is stuck<br>
I look down and my left hand has the brake so tight that I won't move<br>
When you got on the quad the Unitarian in you took over<br>
It was trying to save you<br>
Oh, I'm sorry when was the last time you drove an ATV up a mountain<br>
Betsy is trying to avoid the sticks<br>
"Mam, that is an all terrain vehicle. Run over the sticks."<br>
Hitting trees really hurts<br>
Right before we get to The Top of the World<br>
I look up and it is all Aspens and cattle<br>
Jeannie starts to freak<br>
Get me past that cow so fast<br>
I am getting away from that cow so fast<br>
Kris, we got to the top of mountain<br>
You can see Utah, three mountain ranges at 9000 ft<br>
We both had brown mustaches<br>
It added to the lesbianism<br>
Every time Betsy talks to the staff it is about her husbands and kids<br>
Talk into your chest, the lesbians are not lesbians<br>
These people are awesome<br>
Misha ran a camp for bad ass kids<br>
Like outward bound? Way scarier<br>
Working at Elk Mountain Resort is top of the food chain<br>
You have got to put in your time<br>
John of course is an ex-Navy Seal<br>
He is bad ass<br>
You feel amazingly comfortable and slightly scared<br>
I love men like that. Don't you Jeannie<br>
Sure, he was handsome too<br>
OK, time for this podcast to end<br>
We ended on the ATV's and it was time to drink<br>
Don't hand the truck driver the bottle<br>
Four or five inches of vodka<br>
Kris, we almost drank an entire bottle of vodka<br>
Jeannie is naked in a robe and slippers<br>
We are ripped<br>
You are so awesome . . . No, you are so awesome<br>
I look at clock and it is 9:00 p.m. and we haven't eaten<br>
We dial "0" and they tell us that the dining room is still open for us<br>
We arrive and there are flames to the ceiling<br>
Chef Jeff is making bananas foster<br>
The soccer moms start to speak to us<br>
Betsy with her vodka mouth<br>
"Are we going to be on your webcast?", soccer moms<br>
Jeannie loves it when I get out of control<br>
"We should introduce ourselves"<br>
No that is OK, I already have a name for you, "The bad ass soccer moms"<br>
It could go either way<br>
Then the leader dies laughing<br>
Right, there has to be an Alpha mom in the group<br>
Yes, the one with the longest Escalade, the EXT<br>
So Chef Jeff comes over<br>
Betsy, "A-1 Jeff we're trashed. Can I call you Chef Jeff from now on"<br>
That's not chatting it up that is drunk babble<br>
Chef Jeff really made it<br>
We don't go to gourmet restaurants and have the chef talk to us for 40 minutes<br>
It was entirely phenomenal<br>
Kris, I know we have talked about how I challenged the Russian to a vodka drinking contest<br>
Can I take it back when you order the most expensive item on the menu?<br>
And I was on the urge of vomiting<br>
Kobe beef times 2 with bananas foster<br>
Betsy looks at me like you better eat that bitch<br>
Chef Jeff is buying us drinks<br>
And I have to deny him because now I can't see him<br>
I don't know where I am at<br>
We stumble back to our room<br>
There is that point, where you realize that I am done my man<br>
Jeannie deals with Betsy, I am sick<br>
I will lay in the bed of heaven<br>
Betsy has the her cigarettes and the camera around her neck<br>
You ticked me off<br>
You don't like me anymore?<br>
I'll like you tomorrow<br>
You just ripped my underwear and are out of control<br>
I proceed to go to the most beautiful bathroom in the states<br>
And I don't even have to use my muscles<br>
I have an exorcism of the most expensive meal I have ever ate<br>
More babbling from Betsy<br>
Typical Betsy move, "I made myself throw up"<br>
This is the best planned bathroom of all time<br>
6 feet from toilet to wall on a slate floor<br>
Betsy made a bed right there with a Turkish robe<br>
And I fell asleep on that cold stone slate floor and it felt so good<br>
As I was falling asleep I thought to myself . . . <br>
I love John, Misha, Chef Jeff and I love Tom the most<br>
Why? Because he was smart enough to put a twin bed in the water closet<br>
I don't know what we were thinking by drinking so much<br>
I have nicotine and alcohol poisoning . . . I need to dial "0"<br>
We have to do another show for Valhalla<br>
It was the most emotional day of Jeannie's life<br>
Sorry about your underwear dude<br>
I'll get you a Target gift certificate<br>
These were Victoria Secret<br>
Do you know how much stuff I will have to find and sell from Goodwill?<br>
Final installment of Elk Mountain Resort and Valhalla comes your way tomorrow!

<br>
We've made it into the month of August<br>
You've now crossed into <a href="http://www.elkmountainresort.com">Elk Mountain Resort</a> and <a href="http://www.valhallashootingclub.com/">Valhalla Shooting Club</a><br>
Sure you don't want to bitch about Boulder some more?<br>
I like Boulder, there are just some things I don't<br>
We roll up and there is a guard tower<br>
Was he standing there with a rifle?<br>
No, Mr B<br>
It is a gorgeous view<br>
Flanked by beauty<br>
The guard comes ambling up to the Volvo<br>
Your names ladies?<br>
We give them, remember this<br>
"Do you ladies have any firearms with you?"<br>
No firearms in this Volvo<br>
This wagon is clear<br>
He gives us directions<br>
We roll on up<br>
Elk Mountain Resort is beautiful<br>
The valet pulls it four feet away and parks<br>
The woman on hotels.com just kept complaining about it<br>
She is nuts<br>
Jeannie says the place is like Annie<br>
Everyone stands to greet you as you walk in<br>
Then there was Santa Claus<br>
A dude with a white beard and red suit?<br>
No, he had a uniform and a "I love my job smile"<br>
He's got hot towels on a silver platter<br>
He looks at me and says, "Mrs. Smith would you like a towel?"<br>
He looks at Jeannie, "Mrs. Smith would you like a towel?"<br>
Shit, the deal is sealed, we are the dykes<br>
Welcome to first class<br>
It took us 9 hours from Boulder<br>
We'll make everything guided for you<br>
What time would you ladies like dinner?<br>
This Mrs. Smith would like to eat before 7:30<br>
Mrs. Smith and I would like to eat in 45 minutes<br>
Santa has an ear piece and a chest mic<br>
He talks into it and poof the bell hop appears<br>
We get to our room and the view is gorgeous<br>
If you don't like it dial "0"<br>
The bed looks like a cloud from heaven<br>
I got Wal-Mart sheets<br>
Jeanie, "We have robes!"<br>
Hers and hers robes would have been nice<br>
So we get dressed for dinner<br>
It was intimidating, we felt like we didn't fit<br>
Then I bust out the gift certificate<br>
We wanted to play it cool<br>
Sure, you want to fit in<br>
They were nicer than your grandma who hasn't see you in three years<br>
Every time you walk in the door the staff stands<br>
Oh, are you ladies here for dinner?<br>
I'll announce you, then he speaks into his lapel, "The Smiths are here for dinner."<br>
You haven't told them yet?<br>
No I was waiting for Jeannie<br>
Who's the man, the big footed one with a bad perm<br>
Are there any other guests at the resort?<br>
Two other men not talking<br>
There were 10 total guests at the resort<br>
We order our dinner and they ask for drinks<br>
My mom always orders the house wine, the cheap stuff<br>
I'll have a Mountain Dew won't go over well<br>
Jeannie hates red wine but follows Betsy's lead<br>
Hi, I'm Chef Jeff, which house wine is best for you?<br>
They start bringing out bread baskets and baked stuff<br>
Chef Jeff is like, "Fuck dude! I worked on that all day and you can't say it."<br>
I look at Jeannie, I can tell she doesn't like it<br>
Been there and done that<br>
Jeannie is woofing it down<br>
I have to eat at least half of it<br>
The two men eating alone are now joined by someone I recognize<br>
The owner that I had seen on The Daily Show<br>
Kris if you kick it up a notch we can do this every weekend<br>
He comes over to the table<br>
Asks what activities we are going to do<br>
ATV's and shooting<br>
We are the only resort in the entire world to have access for ATV's<br>
Jeannie, "I love the outdoors but I can't go up high"<br>
Our ATV's are automatic<br>
They've thought of everything<br>
Yes, everything<br>
On the ride you will come to a place called Top of the World<br>
So high that airplanes will fly below<br>
Then he launches in to the special lights<br>
These are based on the biologic make up of a lobster's eye<br>
They are used to melt the snow to make an ice tunnel<br>
Mr. Foreman continues to talk about the press they have gotten<br>
A book on the NYT Best Sellers list is based at Elk Mountain Resort<br>
He had me sold . . . I wanted to kiss a bear and drive to the top of the world<br>
Why would you think that you couldn't do something?<br>
Tom Foreman makes you believe that you can do anything<br>
Enter the rest of the guests<br>
Three sets of couples that look like my neighbors<br>
Fit soccer moms?<br>
Yes, Kris<br>
I just drove 4 states over to get away from them<br>
Now they are going to spoil my mountain view<br>
Mr. Foreman goes over to the new couples<br>
The super sweet firebox<br>
Then our food comes<br>
Every time there was another opportunity to be put in our place<br>
We were still really awkward<br>
Betsy has a bowl of puss and I get a bowl of noodles<br>
It was couscous Jeannie<br>
Jeannie starts to panic, all I get are these noodles<br>
Campbell's has everything including broth<br>
Then they bring the broth<br>
After that they bring out dinner<br>
The whole thing was terrific<br>
Except that we were both completely terrified<br>
To get over the petrification of being treated so well and Elk Mountain Resort  stay more nights<br>
Kris you are the king of upgrade<br>
So after dinner Santa jumps up<br>
We get our bill after dinner<br>
Betsy goes white<br>
Shut up Jeannie, I'll tell you later<br>
The one thing you can't return is food<br>
What I was freaking out about was that our house wine turned out to be $18 a glass<br>
From their perspective, the lesbians aren't satisfied<br>
Chef Jeff asks if dinner was to their liking<br>
Then Thomas comes over and asks<br>
After that the waitress comes up<br>
Sure, they are trained like the CIA to read unhappiness<br>
What would you ladies like to do?<br>
We would like a jacuzzi?<br>
Our eyes meet and we realize . . . they aren't out to get us . . . they are out to spoil us<br>
Drinking our sangria in the hot tub<br>
The cheap wine was awesome<br>
Betsy took 100 pics of the tops of trees<br>
At the Boulder art fair there was a dude with aspen photos<br>
So we retire to the room and Jeannie puts on a robe<br>
Sliding into the bed of heaven<br>
Mrs. Smith, this is going to be the greatest night of my life<br>
The greatest part of this is that I have no kids to wake me up<br>
Betsy wakes up at 6:01 for coffee and viewing birds that were probably released for my pleasure<br>
Do you know how much this is costing per minute? Get up Jeannie<br>
We decide to take a hike<br>
We start to walk by workers that gardening<br>
When they see you they stop, stand, smile and ask you if you need anything<br>
Landscapers saw us, they froze like deer<br>
When we went by them they commenced working again<br>
Tom has thought of everything<br>
When a crossed eyed man in golf cart tells you "good luck" heed his warning<br>
People are freezing along the trail "I'm a tree. I'm a tree. I'm a tree"<br>
Maybe the trail was made for someone who came one time<br>
Betsy, they did not release cows into the national forest for you to view<br>
Queue the cattle<br>
Someone left it on the comment card no doubt<br>
Gotta watch out for the feral cows<br>
Jeannie was petrified of them<br>
Now you know why he told you good luck<br>
That guy used to not be cross eyed till a cow incident<br>
We can hear them shrieking and yelling<br>
There they are . . . the soccer moms on the zip line<br>
Whew, my Nike sports bra is twisted<br>
We are on our way back<br>
Jeannie freezes as we stand on 
Have you told anyone that you are not Mrs. Smith?<br>
I see two brown ears rising out of this draining ditch<br>
Out jumps a giant mule deer<br>
Betsy chases it to take it's photo<br>
The lesbians are crazy!<br>
What are the lesbians doing now?<br>
Time for lunch on the patio<br>
We need some cigarettes and an ashtray<br>
"Can I have an ashtray?"<br>
She speaks into her cleavage mic<br>
Around the corner, "I'm on it"<br>
I know it is fun to play spies but this is weird<br>
It was awesome though, instant ashtray<br>
Lesbians are on porch, queue deer<br>
Queue the geese<br>
Then the soccer moms come bouncing back fit and tan<br>
"Where are you guys from?"<br>
Bloomington. "We are going to drive through there."<br>
Their husbands, reserved and uptight<br>
Screw it, this is all about me<br>
I am going to make the soccer moms laugh<br>
She swore that she was thirsty and all the sudden water showed up<br>
"Guess how many kids we have?"<br>
I don't know this is a game?<br>
We have 10 combined?<br>

Then they struck a bad ass soccer mom pose<br>
They brought things like running shoes<br>
Betsy brought Crocs and sandals<br>
Perfect lesbian gear<br>
The soccer moms told us that the ATV's were awesome<br>
We get ready to go and Misha shows up<br>
I have done this ride 500 times and not lost 1 person yet<br>
She takes out these top gun flight suits<br>
I brought you the biggest ones we have<br>
Betsy, "Of course mine won't zip up"<br>
Jeannie, "neither will mine"<br>
Jeannie you rock!<br>
This could be customer service boot camp<br>
Their motto must be "we are not going to tell you no"<br>
They actually import vans from Europe to fit through their gates<br>
Probably because it is more aesthetically pleasing<br>
This is my new motto, "It is all about me"<br>
Betsy gives me the thumbs up and then hits a tree<br>
So we're going up the mountain<br>
Jeannie is flying behind Misha<br>
Betsy is stuck<br>
I look down and my left hand has the brake so tight that I won't move<br>
When you got on the quad the Unitarian in you took over<br>

Kris, we got to the top of mountain<br>
You can see Utah, three mountain ranges at 9000 ft<br>
We both had brown mustaches<br>
It added to the lesbianism<br>
Every time Betsy talks to the staff it is about her husbands and kids<br>
Talk into your chest, the lesbians are not lesbians<br>

Jeannie loves it when I get out of control<br>

			<description><![CDATA[I found this online this morning, something I said nearly two years ago about podcasting and the Adam and Ron Podshow "strategy cast", that seems to stand true today:<blockquote>"The money for now[in podcasting] is in services and software with advertising lagging behind as podcasters have yet to produce the numbers and models that advertisers feel comfortable with. Podshow seems to prepared to build from the services and software base and then bring the advertisers in but in that time there will be other[s] who figure out how to make it work.
<br><br>
My take is that being a first mover is very important, especially in this space and the mistakes that will be made by Podshow will benefit everyone else who comes along after. We're all learning from one another, a community of individuals with the same interest sharing (even if for a price)."</blockquote>
