Hello hello!
We're back from the lovely mountains of Big Bear-- actually we were back on Sunday, but then we were tired, and putting our notes together, so no bloggage yesterday, and today---PODCAST!
This week's podcast includes: our trip to Big Bear and how we turned into old people, Canterbury's Law with Julianna Marguiles, the World's Strongest Man competition, how Bringing Home Baby is the most frightening show on television, how Stephan read a piece of copy that called for a "Gilbert Godfried type," and how one celebrity allegedly has abnormally large testicles.
Oh, and also-- how I HAVE TO GIVE UP CHOCOLATE!!!!!!
OK, we were so busy this weekend, we just got to the podcast. But oh, it was well worth the wait, and now it's here to entertain you on tax day! Included in this week's edition-- why it's too hard to go green, how our dog is embarrassing us right now, how Stephan is trying to be more Zen in everyday life, marriage landmines, the aforementioned Brentwood Street Fair, pygmy goats and giraffes with messed-up necks, and much, much more!
Here are some photos, to entertain you while you listen.
Stephan demonstrates the "finger tazer," from his story about how his dad used to get really mad and point at him.
Here's a real photo of that giraffe with the bent neck at the Santa Barbara Zoo.
And here, once again, is the world's stupidest kangaroo, who can't figure out how to hop out of the pen with the open top.
We did the podcast a little early this weekend because we both have a bunch of stuff going on. But-- here it is!
Topics discussed include (but are not limited to): Steph's new computer, the template-nature of Law & Order: SVU, how Naomi Campbell can't pull it together for on minute to fly on a plane, how celebrities are avoiding me,a very amusing story about an old guy in a bar, and a discussion about how the last time we were at Disneyland, you could still buy cigarettes at the Main St, USA gift shop.
Oh, also? If you want to see the pregnant man on Oprah, you can go over here to watch most of the clips. I'm telling you, the guy is down to earth.
Well well well.....we came in from San Francisco on Sunday night, just long enough for me to do laundry and re-pack, record the podcast, and now I'm leaving again for New York for the week on the 12:55 plane. Oh yeah! I'm going to a taping of the Martha Stewart show on Thursday, so I'm sure I'll have some fascinating things to report when I return.
Rewrite status: almost DONE! Just have to put the edits in to the actual Word document (because believe it or not, I still write everything by hand, then transfer it into the computer, where much editing then ensues. Here is a photo of a stack of handwritten notes which have been half-transcribed into a roughly 250 page manuscript, then cut and rearranged again.
This week's pre-Easter podcast is here! Topics include: What exactly is Easter? There is a writer's strike going on in Stephan's brain, ice carving as a career: who knew? cholesterol-lowering medication and the hilarious marketing material that goes with it, celebrity babies on display, and much much more!
Our latest podcast is ready and available here! Topics discussed this week include the Zombie Death Flu of 2008, our travels to the east coast and some weird people who sat in back of us on the plane, a story about a woman who pooped herself when she got into a car accident, Stephan's obsessive germaphobic rituals which I have now adopted, and down-market advertisements that we saw in the subway in New York. Also, the fact that the whole Bravo network only has four sound effects that they use.
Is that detailed enough?
As you might recall, last year we were doing an internet radio show called "Funny Strange Live." While we had a total blast doing this, the logistics proved to be too complicated, so we put it on hiatus for awhile, and decided that the way to go was to take the part we most enjoyed doing (the "witty banter" part), and just make it into a podcast, due in part to a suggestion by Alex Albrecht, who is a friend of a friend and who basically told me a few weeks ago that there's no reason not to do this as a podcast.
So, here you go. Episode One of the Funny Strange Podcast includes references to Britney Spears, Mel Gibson, Los Angeles guilt, Pete Burns from Dead or Alive-- basically, a discussion of what you can find right here on the site, only with audio funny. You can download it here and start listening while I figure out how to get it into iTunes and everywhere else.
