So send us your favorite Croncast moments with the show date in an email and we'll play it in Monday's show. Please get them to us by this Friday. Betsy and I let everyone in on our morning secret, we're fighting and it is making it hard to have a conversation. Which is partially, well . . . the main reason the show is so short today. Maggie is also really vocal on today's show. We do get into some fun topics, however, like male cheer leaders now on the carnival circuit, Kris says no more life-size Barbie dolls in the house or car and Floridian shark attacks.

Yes, we were all unknowingly guzzling goose poop. Kris and I argue Chicken Vagina vs Egg Chute. I am verbally assaulted at Goodwill. Kris is taking an interest in the lawn and I want to run away. ">

Kris reflects on his relative love of lawn mower racing. More t-ball drama the Scion gets used as a back stop and Kris' IT geek social skills interfere with his ability to end the Scionic abuse. I have to run a minature man birthday party which went well- though I didnt have him open presents at the party- I know that I am becoming more suburban by the minute- miss muffin gets a doggie spa treatment without being drugged and Elliot's talent for accessorizing at the gap gets me thinking.

We are back from the Wisconsin Dells and in this episode Kris calls a fight between marines, babysits a stripper's kids and watches the police arrest an out of hand mommy all while wearing his tacky father's day gift. Kris reminisces about the days prior to the invention of Nair and bikini line shaving, I advise him both Nair and bikini line shaving have been around for years, but they didnt practice pubic hair removal in his neck of the woods- go figure. Kris also tries to draw comparisons between Tijuana and the Dells, though I point out that he has never been to Tijuana and never during my entire stay in the Dells was I offered Chiclets from a homeless scabby toddler. Kris attempts to explain the origins of the phrase Git R Dun and I still don't get it or git it I guess. Check out the screen shots of Kris and I on TV we are stars! Not reall

Betsy talks about her bathed in gasoline seagulls from Mexico while the baby pukes on her hand, how I will be in charge of the man and how his memories of this trip will probably be great and Betsy's will be, "Thank god I didn't have to go to the waterpark." and a short bit about how Betsy and her mom used to just call me at work and tell me they were leaving for vacation. Listener Russ sent us this about naming pharmaceuticals; "Vi---meaning hard ( as is Vitamins,minerals,rocks,,HARD ) Agra--meaning root ( agriculture etc...) so ViAgra = Hard ROOT" and Ben sent this version; "Viagra is taken from the word "Viagraha," which means Tiger in Sanskrit." Good thing this isn't CBS bec

It is broken down into two parts. But first a shout out to Greg and Lisa from Viva Podcast for their comments about the show. We really appreciated it!! Hopefully the part where we mention you in the interview sticks. In part one, or; Act I: (to steal from Ira Glass) We interview two guests, NBC5 reporter Charlie Wojciechowski and cameraman/lapel mic wizard Vince Munion. Like Betsy and I these two have worked together for years. Charlie and Vince's audio is a bit quite because they were sharing a mic. We discuss the new NBC5 podcast(s) "Weekend Web Guys", Vince busts us out about Legos on the studio floor, their work together in the Quad Cities, Charlie also explains a really cool thing NBC5 will be doing during Wimbledon to get their news casts out like . . . stream them, Vince's BTK connection, Charlie's father's prophetic words; "

I got a new car, a Scion xB. I am going to take some photos and I'll be right back. Here they are with a couple of reflections of the Lincoln. Thirty with bald spots on top and a bass tube and neon lights illuminating the inside, I will travel the suburbs frontin' as a 20 year old with his first gig. We talk about my rejection letter from WBEZ in Chicago, at least they were still thinking of me. We also get into buying the car and how if they knew us they probably wouldn't loan us the money because our payment history with them is not indicative of our bill paying habits, what Kris could go without if we no money, Betsy inheriting the Lincoln, the subdivision block party which marks the one year anniversary for us in this house, buying children. And then we get into Betsy telling

To start off we have a puking baby that the doctor wants to put on medication, not really. Betsy and I talk about the t-ball experience tonight at the first game and it is just eating her up. Thanks to Russell from www.blackholeradio.com for sending us this link about squab www.squab.com/aboutus.htm. Betsy may be thinking I actually know what I am talking about. We talk about KEXP.org radio from Washington, Mendel the Monk, "Value Village" sent in by Henry Hedberg, how Betsy would have gotten off the Mayflower solely on the fact that she would see a gay native on the shore who would know where the party is, Betsy says the west is an ash tray thanks to her trip to Phoenix. Betsy says she host photos, finally, for me to put up of the prizes but she hasn't given them to me yet, I try to get Betsy to ask me about something with animals that

Every time that I laugh I cough so I apologize in advance. We got some stuff cooking around here with t-ball and another side project that I have that will be interesting to talk about on Friday. Let me tell you, big t-ball news ;). Since Betsy puts the "t" and the "b" in t-ball she will lay it all out. In this show Betsy swears that she is ready to ship the Goodwill goodys from the contest and promises that she'll have photos for me tomorrow to put up. ">

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. ">

I feel like I just got back from the arctic with my cold, but by Monday I should be back to full voice ;) (not quite sure what 'full voice' is). Betsy puts out a call for Eskimo listeners to send us a message, denies the existence of Macaroni penguins. See below: Betsy: this is a macaroni penguin.

Vote at Podcast Alley with the "Vote Croncast" button above. Some people have had trouble voting at Podcast Alley and unfortunately there is nothing that I can do to fix it.

I am sick and need to take a rest. But the show must go on! Hey it's the first of the month too! Vote at Podcast Alley with the "Vote Croncast" button above. Thanks to Chip for his T-shirt idea. Simple really but looked cool. See the Croncast badge to the right of this post on bottom, the rectangle one? Put that on the front of a shirt . . . brilliant. After designing T-shirts for a period of my life it is one of those "oh yeah" moments. Betsy did tball tonight and I did the couch after my first day at the new gig. New gig: great fit. Tball: Betsy's a natural even though she busted out another Goodwill Mommy who was in the closet. ">

Croncast - 2005-05-30.mp3 Show: #123 Length: 25:18 Format: mp3 Bit rate: 64 kbs Size: 11.6 mb Croncast - Betsy and her husband Kris Ep. 82 Happy Memorial Day! Or something, I guess. Today's show falls victim to a mic that flakes out. The show is a good show but Betsy's mic took a dive half way through the show. I did what I could to salvage it but the quality is ok just a lot of popping. Lots of good stuff in today's show besides the technical issues like Besty explaining what a hot crack head would look like . . . my reply, smokin'. ">

Sometimes we forget to make room for life around the show . . . well I do maybe not Betsy. And I get the time guestimations wrong. But if it soothes any souls we put the man to bed and Maggie had a breakthrough doing longform division with an abacus. This show has a gem that made it take even take longer to put up but Betsy give an adoe to her Padre seeing as how it was his cumpleanos a few days ago. Where's the enyah or whatever you call it in WordPress? I just keep typing while the file uploads. Today was my last day at the old gig so that has made today even more messed up. Betsy and I are going out tonight to celebrate with some warm food and other boring parental activities. ">

Any donation or support is greatly appreciated by Betsy and I. Too everyone should thank Dave for sponsoring our next Goodwill Giveaway contest set for the first week of June. Today's show has something that none of our other shows have ever had . . . an intermission. We take a quick break for a Maggie 'plosion that needs urgent attention. This was a really fun show to do and as usual maybe not a great one to sit down and have a snack with. ">

It has been recommended that we add some sort of disclaimer to the shows. But I can't imagine what the fun would be in that ;). ">
