Betsy and her husband Kris Jul 06, 2007

Join Croncast Cronies . . . thanks to all those signed up already!.

First of all we need to thank everyone who came out to the show last night! Thanks to everyone who attended and those who become Croncast roadies in the process to help me wrangle gear and toys that littered the stage.

Turns out that we were both a little nervous and it comes through on the show but it was a ton of fun to do. More practice, more better.

So for those of you who couldn't make it out we've got today's show for you recorded from The Comedy Shrine. In the very near future, thanks to videographers Mike Marusin and Evan Brown we should have some video to share. For now you can check out these Flikr photos from Mike and Brian Beatty.

Special thanks needs to go out to Betsy's dad for helping to make this happen and to Dallas and Rachel Blair for driving out from the East Coast to come and listen to some strangers get down about their suburban platitudes. Time for some show notes.

Kris blows the intro but leaves it in because this is what happens nearly every show
Maybe there needs to be less light for you Kris
More basement like and it would work for you
You look warm
I had to get puffy cuffed
You guys get the full on puffy cuff
The intro happens again
Rolls right in to Mike's comment
Betsy takes it to task
What me go out and get a job?
I've have awesome stuff happen
Bring home cockroaches in my purse
Well, if I continued my current line of work
People have been doing it for ever
Sort of like prostitution
I'll buy it as a favor to you
Teri Horton, Who the Fuck is Jackson Pollack?
It's all about the fucking provenance
People are trying to take advantage of her
They show her sitting around the VFW hanging out
You can hear the live audience
We've been pretty excited
But most you haven't (listen to hear the tone it is a joke)
We work hard for you
This is show #384
I'm just kidding!
Sure it is passive aggressive but it
We have a lot more fans in the Pacific Northwest and New York, New Jersey areas
Yeah we could have filled two more tables
Betsy put together an outline for the show
Betsy and Jeanie going on the "greatest road trip ever"
Jeanie is all about the free drive
I still can't believe you are going
I've got one with adhd and a toddler who bites
Don't you remember Slowsky?
The Volvo is Slowsky reincarnate
The Valhalla middle class outreach program
Here comes Jeanie
She doesn't look like a truck driver does she?
I can't believe that you didn't carry a gun in your semi
Betsy on a zip line
You are going to die
We've all been honest with you
Jeanie, now you know I am going to put my fat ass on a zip line
Yes, Betsy I will shoot a gun from a Hummer for you
This is our basement . . . nearly
Just shooting targets
Maybe kill a deer remotely
Betsy rationalizes it as thinning the heard
I'll take the kids to hang out at John Elway Dodge
Jeanie was thinking a massage but now it's guns
The only place that I think I could shoot off a machine gun in peace in solutude would be my dads backyard
Need an inexpensive divorce in Illinois or fast bankruptcy?
If so visit www.gshiltslaw.com
Thanks to Gary for making the show happen
Jeanie tells the story of her dad finding a body
Attendee off the street A.J. also found a floater at Niagra falls
Betsy gets her dad going about the trips
Gary sets it straight with Sleazers butcher shop
What about the zebra steaks?
Betsy shows off her sweet scores of the week
Her Gucci bowling bag
The fisher price teddy bear
Well what the hell is wrong with a used bathing suit?
That's going to do it for us
Behind the scenes outro

While I'm on this whole black hole sun thing

Fri, 06 Jul 2007 10:04:46 -0500

I remembered seeing Chris Cornell do a version for the Henry Rollins show on IFC.

For some reason they don't allow you to put the video in your own site. Hello!

However, they do give supply a link. Grunge fans, enjoy.

Comcast plus Showtime equals This American Life before premiere

Thu, 22 Mar 2007 08:26:25 -0500

For those of you who are big This American Life fans and want to see the Showtime television premiere before 10:30 p.m. EDT and you happen to have Comcast OnDemand then take off work early or fire it up when you get home and watch it right now. Or if you have some headphones watch some clips in your cube.

Showtime has been running the premiere show for the last two weeks . . . maybe longer. Which is typical for Showtime and something that I frequently find myself using. As a Showtime customer and a nerd it makes me put them on a special pedestal amongst traditional media . . . they get to hang in the "we get it" posse.

What did I think? What did Betsy think? I'll share after the airing tonight just in case you want to remain unbiased.

Atlanta is a hockey town?

Sat, 17 Mar 2007 10:03:24 -0500

Big thanks to Mark for hooking me up with the first pro hockey game that I have been to in years . . . great seats and an overtime win for the home team and the behind the scenes tour at CNN.

I am still a little freaked out that Atlanta has this many hockey fans. It was 70 degrees here two days ago.

Betsy decides to start shipping while the show begins
Then wants to divert attention
You don't want to talk about the naked camel in the desert?
I want to talk about the email
Betsy says, it is a surprise that we don't get hate mail everyday
The shipping continues
Sign up for the contest and then send hate mail . . . nice
Now you're a Puffy Cuffs
If it is really bothering you that much
"If you're engaged to a geek - break it off," Betsy
Saving driving directions to my phone instead of printing them out
The tape sound again . . . it is the sound of my life
The sound of my eternity
Postal priority mail tape
They quit making it
What am I going to use to wrap Christmas gifts
Betsy says she has big news
Betsy is going to hang with a fan tomorrow . . . Abbi Z.
Kinda gonna be in the area
Betsy is wired and over-thinking it
Betsy screwed up chocolate chip cookies
Not so sweet cookies
Abbi will eat them and smile
That's why we do it baby for the fans
Got rid of Slowsky
Better phrasing, "Off to the auction like a fat pig"
The Slowsky lowdown
Sister turned it down and now Betsy uses it for a trade on a car for her sister
If you can't sell something to Kris you should be fired
We got it good right now
Betsy, "I know you live like that. My darling the rapper."
The QVC clothes smell like old people
They pump the bags full of the odor
Too chubby to put a leg forward
Quality Value Convenience you need to shop it too
Compression garment for the abdominally blessed
Betsy hits a new low - recording QVC to DVR for later viewing
No high waist jeans at the store but Goodwill got'em
We're off to Boulder tonight
Maggie, Betsy and Kris are off that is the man will rock it out with grandma
The irony? Back to Colorado
Slowsky is worth more in pieces than as a whole
Zeus is getting fixed next week

Alltel Racing Podcast Gets It Right

Mon, 24 Jul 2006 19:23:09 -0500

Steve Kaminski from the Grand Rapids Press has a review of the Alltel Racing Podast that shouldn't be missed by anyone interested in business podcasting, "Alltel's NASCAR podcast proves insightful". Kaminski comes to the podcast as a skeptic and leaves a believer in the power of podcasting.

" 'Yippee' is what I thought when I opened up my e-mail and read that Alltel has introduced the Alltel Racing Podcast this season.

Can you say "infomercial?"

On second thought, don't say it.

You would be wrong.

This is not scripted and rehearsed. With Borland, you get shoot-from-the-hip, no holds barred, opinionated talk.

I talked to Alltel executives last week, and they said they wanted to give fans a behind-the-scene look at their race team. That they deliver."

What Alltel has done is simply to follow rule one in podcasting to have successful show. What is that rule? Honesty. Just be honest. Be human.

Take a listen at www.alltelracingpodcast.com.

Betsy says she's depressed over pet urine contamination
It is a multilayered issue
Using the leftover laminate from the basement
Put together by cheap labor in Cambodia
Kris puts out a HBO television reference
Then reminds himself that it is no different Star Trek Next Generation
Video mocking Star Wars fans waiting for Episode III
Shout out to Dave and Melissa
Dave broke his thumb and is prepping for California Bar
Betsy says the bar in CA is really tough
She could walk in to a grocery store and they would give her money back
Betsy speaks to CA living prices
Living with 5 cousins in a 2 bedroom ranch for the same price
Birds don't live birth babies
Talking about the vacation stories
Four hours later, does the story ever end?
What does your brethren think about your pilaging of Goodwill for your profit?
You left the price tag on it bitch. I know what you paid for it.

Today's show is based around Betsy and her love for the Loretta Lynn story. For some reason she really identifies with this movie and thinks of me as very similar to Loretta's husband, "Doolittle".

We talk about the critter boils, Elvis fans, how Betsy should just sell my name after my death in loving memory and a bit about how the man has a new penchant for peeing outside, of our suburban deck to be more exact, the Croncast Diet and those who find themselves quoting lines from the movie "Sweet Home Alabama".

Betsy also gets into her weekend experience at a bachelorette party.

Croncast - Jolie and her friend Kris Ep. 1 (remix)

My guest for today cancelled out early so I put together this special edition remix.

Today's show is a remix of the show from December 24, 2004 with Jolie Holland. I've mixed in some songs and done a little more production work that I should have done when I put the show together the first time.

This was a huge honor for me and something I have been looking forward to for the past month. If you've been following the show I am sure you understand.

Jolie talks a little on her past musical experiences, how she found my blog and why it was funny (she thought I was 70, true dat), what it is like to be on Anti Records, other stuff and my favorite . . . a possibly soon to be released live CD and maybe video of the session. For the rest of it you'll have to listen to the show.

Upcoming tour dates.
