Last time I have to listen to this!
You know you like my voice, Baby
I am surprised you are not crying
It's like a Hallmark Holiday
I just wanted to make sure we hit 500 shows
Back in the day with the old gear
Doesn't it seem like you are creating more work?
Not really
Transitioning into something new
The new show is "Life in the Can"
You can get the new shows at www.lifeinthecan.com
Three days a week still and a weekly best of the three shows
The first show will be released Thursday June 27th, 2008
We're excited about the new show
It would be rad if you and I could work together
Getting paid to do the shows would be great
I went to Jeanie's house last night
Cracking open the hand carved lesbian door
No crumpled up High Life cans
The Eden like backdrop
Deer walked right up
She had deer prints on her roof
Training ground Santa's deer
Getting them presents for the house
Populating her yard with beasts
Show up and build an Arc too
Betsy "Noah" Smith
I get wait to Zeus out there
You had a part of your E Hollywood True Story
The Improv dinner theater audition
I purposely didn't tell you this, Kris
What?
Where the auditions were being held
Ok
Where was it?
At Culver's
Oh, Baby
Did you get a milkshake afterward?
Your first audition was at a fast food restaurant
It proves you want it
It's embarrassing but it does prove you want it
I'm proud of you
Most people wouldn't have gone
What's more uncomfortable than going to open mic night?
Listening to open mic night stories
We have no context for this
How did it make you feel?
Maybe she is a biker
Going out on a high note
Thanks to everyone for throwing in their support for the show
In the effort to Keep the Archive Alive
That would be funny
No it's not
Thanks for listening to everyone
Whether it has been 500 or 12 shows, thank you
We've had a great time doing the show
The new show is, Life in the Can - www.lifeinthecan.com
You just can't end it Mr B! Can you!
Keeping you happy three days a week with a bonus
Thank you for letting us entertain you.

1	BAH! I have to catch up! My pc hosed up and I've been listening to the same episodes over and over until it finally got fixed this week. Now I have to catch up on all I missed.

2	So long, Croncast! Do whatever you want with the show... just don't quit being real. Dan conservative militant cyclist father of twins faithful listener since 2005 (and still not happy about the raw shows time-shifted by a whole week.)

4	And here I had a 5 spot on the new name being Parenting and Profanity... I like that, kinda catchy, I'll defer to my wife for that idea... Good luck my friend... JK

5	Aah! Good job guys-- loved every bit of it. A change in "life path" means less time for Croncast, so I've fallen quit a bit behind-- but still trucking along (a la Slowsky. But still). I still don't know what's waiting for me at Life in the can-- but looking forward to it nonetheless. Favorite story has always been the "baby bunnies". And never fails: Kris's laugh crosses over to the next octave-- I can't help but try to contain my own guttural laugh in a public area. In private, I bust a gut. Great show guys. Long after I've stopped listening to every other podcasts, you've stuck around like a bad case of herpes. Bring it!

6	I can't let the last Croncast pass without comment. Thanks so much for the show and I look forward to the new one. See you there. Oh, and Betsy - since you have improv and podcasting on the resume already all you need to round yourself out is shortwave radio experience.

7	Hey: My husband makes a living doing improv. Seriously. Can't wait to listen to the new show in the bathroom.

8	My favorite moment can be summed up in one word. "Doat." Looking forward to the new show, and to meeting Betsy and her male friend when they come to the ATL in a few days. Thanks for the fabulous entertainment.

9	Well... The final show is safely on my iPod. I'll listen to it in a few minutes... But, I wanted to let you guys know how much I enjoy you 'cast. I'm looking forward to the new show and I wish you all the best... Top 5 Favorite Ongoing 'Bits'... Betsy nicknames other people who shop at Good Will.. Classic! Chris saying, "oh, baby...." and then laughing out loud... Bears... Betsy and FFA stories... And, the greatest bit of all... BMX'n Boy!!! Rock on, you guys... Rock ON!!! NCN

10	Kris and Betsy, you should be proud of what you've created w/ Croncast. I've started listing to the first shows while waiting for "Life in the Can" to start, and you have gotten SO much better over the years--and you weren't half bad when you started! I have never listened to an episode of your show that I haven't enjoyed.

11	Betsy and Kris thanks for the entertainment you provided. I got to work today 6-20-08 and started looking for the new Croncast and remembered that there would be no new Croncast. :( OK I am ready for "Life in the Can".
11	Posted by: Russell at: 2:04pm 06/20/2008
12	I planned to hold off on listening to the last show for a few day, I made it a little over 24 hours. You could say it's the end of one podcast era and now the beginning of a new podcast error. Kris you saw the writing on the podcast wall 4 years ago and made it your own. Since late 2004 you all have brought me and my wife many pleasurable hours of entertainment. I just want to say thank you and bring on "Life in the Can".

13	what do you MEAN you're not going to talk about your family any more? THAT IS HALF THE FUNNY OF THE SHOW!!! Plus my in-laws are hicks, too - only substitute Jesus for the alcoholism/smoking - I NEED TO FEEL THAT I AM NOT ALONE! Can't wait to hear the new show and the new format. Change is scary, but often it is good. See ya in Atlanta! ;)

15	Just wanted to say that I'm so glad you guys aren't leaving us forever. I listen to you while I exercise and it's the only thing that lets me get through it! I love the show and would miss you if you left. I'm looking forward to Life In the Can. Enjoy your break but come back soon! You guys are the best! p.s. I'm glad you're not giving up the spontaneous, non-edited shows. I love it when Kris gets laughing so hard he can't stop.

16	I had a (strange) dream about you two last night. I met Becky at some sort of benefit walk/run thing, and in doing so won a contest and got to visit the basement with the two of you. Weird? Yes. Entertaining? Definitely. I'm looking forward to the new podcast - Can't wait for it to start up.

17	Can't wait for the new show. I have your new slogan: Life in the Can - Toilet Humor from the cul-de-sac

20	I'm looking forward to the new podcast. Hope it isn't "too different" from Croncast bc I love what you've done and shared. I feel like I know you both and don't want to lose my friends with the new format. Any chance you can add those "spacers" (sorry, I don't know what they are called) so you can jump to different parts of the podcast. I always listen to Croncast when I'm going to sleep at night and always seem to nod off at some point. Trying to fast forward to find my spot is a pain. Thanks guys! Ann A long time loyal listener

21	In many cultures it is considered a common courtesy to explain why you have failed to do that which you promised.

22	Kris and Betsy, come back! We know that you have real lives that come first, so we don't want to bug you, but....we're still all hanging out and waiting with anticipation for Life In the Can. Come back soon!!

23	I just listened to the show from 6/11. I'm a big fan. I've been hearing about your future plans; title change and weekly best-of show. Here's my personal opinion about it. As a listener, all I can really see the little title in the little screen on my mp3 (badly truncated). So I just grab and play selections without much fore-thought. It's not at all unusual for me to hear a few words from the start of a show and realize I already heard this one before and so I'll select a different one (or I'll listen again if it's a good one). I never seem to select titles in any particular order because I only load my podcasts once a week, I lots of podcasts subscriptions (mostly NPR shows) and might have 10-15 of your terrific shows on my mp3. (Your shows are my all-time favorites!) These best-of weekend shows are going to have me thinking "Oh, skip-it, I heard this one before". Just make sure you qualify the show in your introduction. Maybe you should instead consider a best of the month show. This way you free up your time to take Betsy out on the town on the weekends. Keep up the excellent work!!!

24	We miss you! I hope all is well.

26	I hope you guys are ok, its not like Kris not to upload some pictures. I hope you arent being held captive by some hillbillies in a trailor in Kentucky!!

30	You know there's trouble when the remarks devolve into comment spam. Seriously, though... how's about an update? We're all in the dark here.

31	FACT: original start date for LITC was June 27 FACT: June 27 passed without a word FACT: on or around July 5 the start date posted was changed to July 7 FACT: July 7 has also come and gone CONCLUSION: Cupcakes contained slow acting poison.

32	We should all just do the show, here, via comments... I'll start: Kris opens w/ introduction, and is promptly interrupted by Betsy... Kris valiantly soldiers on, reminding us of how we can listen to the program in an 'online media player'... And then Kris begins to tell a story about his day... let's say that he decides to talk about a trip to the store... Betsy cuts him off, reminds him that no one is listening to him, and begins to riff on her day, starting w/ a trip to a yard sale or good will and ending with dead bunnies, a homeless goat, or a dumpster dive... (Insert several hearty laughs from Kris and a few "oh baby's")... and the Kris decides to finish his story... He then makes some connection between the (insert bunnies, goat, or dumpster diving find) and his (trip to the coffee house, new piece of software, or bald head)... Betsy says "oh, bears" and then notes that none of Kris's stories ever really make the point he's trying to make... and then she laughs... Kris thanks us for listening, Betsy calls our Kris for his corny farewell.. and the show is over. And, we as fans, anxiously wait for the next new show. We miss you guys!!!

33	What the shit. Where are my new podcasts? I'm seriously lacking on the funny around here.

34	Game over. NCN wins.
34	Posted by: Tim at: 5:41pm 07/09/2008
35	Damn! I just found out about you guys and you're gone? That blows! Oh well, guess I'll go drown my sorrows at the local goodwill with Yager and Bailey's!!!!

36	I'll bet Kris lost his job again. He's too ashamed to let us know. Betsy kicked him out of the house. He's sharing a Sally Ann dorm with thirty other unfortunates.
36	Posted by: Gunter at: 10:26pm 07/09/2008
37	So...I've been keeping up with Kris' Twitter...and he and Betsy are very much alive...but I'm seriously not getting what's going on with the show. It would be nice if they could just pop in here and drop a quick note to say "hey, show's gonna run a little later than expected due to x, y and z." I'm ok with waiting...but people are starting to take this personally....
37	Posted by: BigJon at: 8:18am 07/10/2008
38	Yeah - he could at least put up another picture so those disgusting-looking cupcakes go away ;-)
