No Show this Friday

Sorry everyone, no show today. Frankie's busy with the Tropicana swim club and we just can't find time today. There is talk of a Saturday edition, but no warranties.

Meanwhile, you can check tropicanapool.blogspot.com for info on what we've been doing. I will be posting some pics of the three of us painting, piping, and swearing later today. We actually got Greg to do physical labour!

Hopefully I can post this correctly while I'm sober. We had more of a bitch-fest than a comedic show today, but sometimes you gotta do it. We also had a call-in from the Girl On Tech. Check out her website, linked in Our Favorites section at right.

UL Podcast 019 (For Real)

Hey, sorry about that. There was a problem with the enclosure element that tells iPodder which mp3 to download, and you probably got the fabulous "Messy Hurl" mp3 instead of our show 019. Keep it, enjoy it, love it.

This post will contain the actual show for May 20. Listen in next Tuesday to find out why I screwed up. Apparently the id3 tag is missing for it as well. Sorry again!

UL Podcast 019

Star Wars and Squirrels, that's what I like. Don't forget to download the mp3 of "Messy Hurl" by Capt. Nonsense and the Rhythm Kings to the tune of Rick Sprigfields "Jessie's Girl". I spent a bunch of time on it, so you best enjoy.

8-Trak Karaoke, Regis style

So the other night we were doing 8-trak karaoke in the basement and my wife said I must post video of myself to be fair, so here it is: me doing my "lounge singer" to one of Greg's standards.




Is it me, or am I looking a little chunky around the middle?

Poll #7 - Who would play Melvis on TV?

I'm really sorry for not getting this show up this afternoon. I busied myself recording the parody for Friday and then was working on the Demo with Greg in the afternoon. Then my dad came over to help me round up some squirrels. The time really got away from me and I apologize if you missed us.



Unfortunately this wasn't our funniest show, but we did debate many important topics. So there you go.
