Let the reboot begin Still don't have the studio set up the way we would like Whatever, don't leave a comment on the old shows Seriously, a mummy might crawl out of your ear buds Betsy breaks down why the shows stopped It's the real deal They heard the show The offer was pulled It pre-dated even their interest in our home So much conflict from it we had to stop Hard finding buyers You guys knew all about the crazy They didn't just call up She furnished a transcript Thanks to social media you can't feed the trolls offline They knew we were in a bind How can you be special when the whole world knows? You're not on the inside when it's public knowledge Enough of this crap Picking back up where we left off . . . Leaving Naperville The car arrives to take us way You can't tell that story yet The New York story has to wait "I am a rock star," Elliot What do we move with - 6 suitcases Getting on a jet plane House hadn't closed yet No place to live Not a job offer Finding new homes for dogs Missing the four legged family members Betsy has Swiffered her way out of the house Grabbing Speedy I didn't get a chance to say, "good-bye to the house." Wasn't that weird for me Airport hotel I'm thinking holy shit I have nothing I had a four bedroom house Now I am moving across country wth 6 suitcases and a hermit crab

What you don't have is the funny I'm bringing it to over 40 people Thursday nights All in the old Seinfeld time slot What are you up against? Oh, yeah . . . ER reruns They used to stay home for Greys Anatomy Not so hot early on Doing the shows for your cousins 12 people versus 50 and percentage laughing Well, I can see you telling a joke in a restroom All about pumping your ego up Two fangirls waiting for me Thinking they can't find the bathroom "Oh, my god. You were so funny." Bitsy's door star - they can't speel The bicycle issue There is no issue . . . I am the BMX'n boy Kris, I couldn't ride a bike until I was 10 That is the plan the man is on He got my physical genes My neighbors got rich of off my physical ineptitude I learned to ride in the grass Of course you did softy I saw a malleable four year old girl in front of me She wanted to go fast Daddy, go get the tool box She takes the wrench from me Takes the training wheels herself Took 2 minutes to get her going Then 20 to get her starting off on her own Loving it for the freedom Number one for her was freedom The second is that Elliot can't ride a bike She pointed it out, Not me A stranger isn't going the pick the nutty kid The other was her fear of punishment She tried to give up I motivated her She got so upset that she just did it All kids are different and need different motivational techniques Just a wee bit of manipulation One teaspoon of manipulation and one of sweat You gotta throw in some love You know that I am clairvoyant Mr B Baby, you can't tell people that That is just too much Walking to school in a Marlboro Jacket They had a denim one that I wanted You could deduce that knowing my history Betsy is ready to restart her career as a game show contestant When you hit the track you become a robot I'll be back later, I got ponies to read up on

Away from here . . . that was it Ending up in the t-shirt biz It was a great time I meant the Chump gear guys Always wanted to be somewhere else than where I was Restless leg syndrome Rehashing the past I had no idea And I have no idea now The junkin' comedian $40 pay checks from the comedy shrine The funniest was the awe that filled your dad When?

I'm not going to list it out again Follow Kris on twitter Join the Croncast Facebook group We come around the pillars There are people just smoking Blowing smoke in tourists faces Out of the corner of my eye I see these guys Then hear, "You got this one, Phil?"

All the push ups that you do They could throw a rock at it She was wearing the crocs Then I scanned the room and it was covered in crocs That is he face of colonialism Later . . . I'm the only American What is the most expensive shit you got behind this bar? Grand Marnier on the rocks the entire trip Do you want to know how to cook the guacamole?

We were stuck at the front gate How many signs do you need?

The first Casey's we stop at Hey, I know you No, I didn't know her name instantly Hoping for it fire into my brain Turns out to be cousin X She's of the normal branch But the odds of that Not that great Running into someone buying smokes I just don't want to get there I know, Betsy, you were driving 45 in a 75 Never thought we would make it Creeping ever closer that sucking vortex where you grew up It is an area of decay Dilapidated nothingness If you were a pizza deliver guy you would deliver to houses with siding The rest are wrapped in Tyvek It looks like depression We tried the town route Elliot is asking why it is abandoned Yelling why doesn't it look like home Two taglines "For Rent" "Rent to Own" You wouldn't let me take the best photo It was the award winning shot It was beautiful The transient neighbor In a wife beater, smoking a cigarrete, talking on his phone in a NASCAR painters cap And . . . And . . . his white wolf dog on the steps Nothing is level there I fell down 77 times Growing oriental poppies Couldn't believe it Save me from this And you walked away Everyone walked away to leave me there The scary compound The old ass car wasn't as bad Always had the perspective that there was someplace else I needed to be

Oh, the 2008 Comments on the photos I'm a what? You're a good amateur photo taker, Bears I never made it to the sweetest Goodwill in the world When was that? San Francisco, it just wasn't meant to be Look at you all up on the Oprah stuff I got my eye on those celebrities I knew today was going to be a great day Because the Lutherans were having a sale Garage Sales are euphemisms for "Party on the Driveway" You were benevolent enough to babysit It is either a ghost or an alien in front of me You should be so lucky Space Ghost! You can convince me of anything I got to the sale kind of late The guy from the furniture tent comes out an yells That we can hop into a new line that is shorter I was torn They can have stuff in multiple questions I think you will reach a point, your peak of sales skills We should freeze dry you at that point Then revive you in the future when the dollar is strong It will be like a time machine Betsy, you bring it The dollar is still strong with the Lutherans Double check the luggage later I stand in line to wait for the dishes I need my fine china fix in their housewares sections I brought bags and I have adrenaline flowing in my limbs Oh, look, Christopher Stewart This is when I started to look like a nut Started? Slow shuffling old posse arrived Those match my dishes I love those Are you going to buy those? I am now just to spite you You wasted my time with your story They're rookies baby You are con-garagies They send the 12 year old anemic boy to help me carry stuff She's now a professional tic She went and bought speakers from Farm and Fleet I love it, speakers from Farm and Fleet I am sure you are related to people that duck taped their heads That is the truth Duck taping down his pants Especially when fired up the chainsaw The tape suit Class issues really stand in your way Mr. B "Transvestite's getaway car ran over good Samaritan's foot" Words make the world magnificent

We're back for part two of San Francisco The pre pre-school baby is in a kissing phase She kissed a diseased baby Then she kissed me and now I am infected Other than daddy just do I can blame it on her cuz I got the documentation Her encrusted nostril in photos I could track back the vector of my illness Yes, you are the carriers Listen to Croncast, "They argue with one another in their basement" We rank with NPR shows in the post How are we different than any other shows? Funnier Let the woman talk No love for this man I didn't get a party when I was there Heading to the meetup at House of Shields What if no one shows up? People were bound to show up Four people showed up I am so glad that I disappointed you in a positive way David, Sam, Russ and Katherine

The Meetup: Left to Right: Russ, Sam, Katherine (in back), David, Betsy (in blue), Jeanie

David has been listening for a long time A very long time He was in college, birthday, marriage to attorney Look back at things that have happened while we have been doing the show Schlomo gave us the space It was dark, with a kicked over chair That is HoS Russ got a pre-smoking ban chair with an ashtray built into it This is where we made the mistake We started drinking right away, heavily Jeanie kept up with me drink for drink Mind you she is one third my size We left the meetup to go dancing More drinks Then Jeanie starts dancing with a bearded Marylin Monroe Having a great time and we stiffed them on the cab Just drunk bitches we were We gotta get to sleep We have things to do the next day We surface at 10 am Jeanie didn't get out of bed till 3 I see a pattern with your Jeanie vacations Remember Chef Jeff? Back in my skinny days Now I'm chubby There's a food shortage I'm good for 8 weeks At 8pm Mrs. and Mrs Smith are going to hop on a romantic cruise They should have named it, "The Good Ship Jagermeister" A little romantic music for you If I tried to do that with my friends Evan or Mike So the next day we rent a car And we end up dumped in a pile of homeless people They're like day of the dead zombies Here comes the scariest wican beast i have ever seen in my life This weather beaten hag pops up in the window Shit happens, some people aren't what you expect Are we on the road to Guerneville? You can't do that with a kind vegan sister A big coin receptacle "I'm saving up to clone my cat, donations welcome"

Good grief we are back Thanks to Betsy for showing back up You come back from San Francisco wearing my clothes Up sidles a Wrangler wearing Milwaukee chick She's checking me out Of course she is "So what are you doing in San Francisco?" "I'm here with my friend." "You don't have to call her your friend anymore." The spandex blend is alive and well You can look at Iowa from behind and know it's Iowa The smell of Dubuque jumps off The hills and the highway I drive better than those taxi drivers Don't look forward You check carry on bags? Yes, need to keep her creams and powders The vacation schedule The romantic cruise We just wanted crab The Russians followed me from Goodwill Our waiter wanted to argue Today, today it is my first day Crab comes with nothing? No one comes between Jeanie and her side salad Dungeness crab is a mud spider She called me a hot mess in Cantonese We end up at a tea shop in China town White hippie chick running it In sweeps hippie number one She's totally a trust fund baby Character after character after character You can make tea from anything Why didn't you stop and ask a homeless person? I didn't realize you were green with dots . . . what the hell do you have? Mr B, this is my town though I knew it once I stepped off the plane

Cinco de Mayo The drink comments spilled over Work with me Comment on the proper post and subject You should be embarrassed to drink that in front of other people It's a weird girly drink If it's the only drink you are going to drink for the night One tumbler You just took the story to a whole new level Oh, bears I feel really good about closing out Croncast and moving on There are legal concerns with letting listeners choose Everything is an impeding legal issue I can't even say v$deo pr0fe$$or anymore My sister wanted to come to Karl's with me Your sister needs to cut to the chase You can thank me later when you wake up in your own vomit Sometimes threesomes are weird Half the audience just said, "Why, yes they are" Not that kind! My friend is super Maybe they were looking for a new hag Did you wear open toe shoes? That might have confused him Becoming a stripper at 33 That is wrong It is time to retire at 33 for most strippers You have a glamorous view of strippers You are nuts There is nothing glamorous about stripping as a career I don't dread these things What you can and can't comment on

I pulled a muscle in my back My spider bites It's a back wall injury Like in the Mist Where the privileged people are At the Intercontinental hotel I ordered my drink You need to try it Jaegermeister and Bailey's? It makes me want to cover my ears How much do they charge for that? It depends The bartender appeared to be a Stanford math major How much do you want? Top it off on the rocks, half Jaeger and half Bailey's Well, we pour in ounces I don't care what pour, just fill it up When have you counted You are an asshole I'm not an asshole How many ounces would you like? What kind of question is that? I would have turned you into a zombie Was $30 a drink Puffy Cuffs to a whole new level She had already poured them A mixer usually has small amount of alcohol They should charge normally I need to carry my own stuff Buy a mixer full of ice to mix my own You pay for the atmosphere But most have to leave early to get to a meeting $30 bucks a drink you better get some atmosphere Turns out MC Hammer was hanging in the lobby I missed it I was three feet from him He looked nothing like I would have expected Taller than I thought They have small man complex and work harder Shaped like a potato these days He would have showed all of his potato parts He has an internet startup It's like youtube but with dance videos There's a new character on the scene at Goodwill Who is it? I don't know his/her name What? It is a Transvestite Mennonite I had awkward pause seeking gender I blanked I needed to know boy or girl to return communication You should do a back bend

One day to Earth Day Elliot has been telling me about the poor suffering pandas for ten days He was telling me the acid rain was burning the pandas Which was causing them not to have babies He asked me if I knew what trees were He's so much like his mom He says, "Trees are carbon dioxide vampires" I told him that would be a great band name He didn't get it Two worlds collided You bought this badminton set at Goodwill At a garage sale Well, it came from out of the house Husband in a bubble Whatever you had taught him was wrong Proper badminton form Let me show you What? What you learned at La Moille badminton school? I can't believe you tried to describe this What the hell are you talking about? Your boy cannot do overheard Oh, baby I won't even listen to you and your un-athletic skills It's good he's not you, Kris He just doesn't get it as I am trying to help him You're a like a lion in the grass Look at that birdie fly He can't hit it back and forth I wanted to work with him And you wonder why he doesn't want to play with you You are a weird nerd jock hybrid You're a NOCK He'll have flash backs Badminton is where business gets done Watching his badminton future crumbles before my eyes Don't send the hate mail I get it I need to engage with him on another level He's going through a growth spurt He's 7 asking if the weather is changing Sensitive to barometric pressure Taking the kids to lunch Ted's Montana Grill Ted's Buffalo Hut There is nothing more environmentally friendly than buffalo farming What are you saying? Twice as much methane Maggie is all about it Elliot looks at Ted's Bison Hut Looks left and says, I just want Subway "I won't get a bag of chips with my burger" Wanted to do something a bit special He says, "Dad, I don't like fancy. I like Goodwill and Subway." Half the time he is working on bits What's 10 minus 8? I think you owe me $2, Mom I get to the foreclosure/divorce house Ring the door bell The laundry basket was longaberger It was like you designed the house There was a beautiful chandelier in his bathroom He wanted $1,800 for it Then he says, "I paid $23,000 for it." They make excellent copies of this at Menards Then, Mr B, there it was I became the sucker Do you like the table? It happens How much do you want for the table? Well . . . I paid $12,000 for it This is a garage sale The table turned to fire when he told $2,300 Can you grab me something out of that crystal wine in the box holder It was so McMansion It was like he was trying to get on Cribs and it didn't work out Same outfit as yesterday Because he is single now

The tax code is crazy The other fabulous thing today It felt like a tele-novela I got to Goodwill and they were throwing someone out It was the first time ever He is the reason we can't pick off carts I walked up to the china It was sparkling at me Get the order and buy service for 12 $20 a plate and $12 for the salad plates Well, you weren't tossed out Who would be pulling in as I leave?

Short ones this time Before you even open your trap, Betsy And clean the lint from yours Nice tight and concise . . . Here is what happens with Croncast at 500 When they put the B before the K Doesn't sound right to me We are going to re-brand the show And move to one day a week . . . But, BUT, you the listener could get it up to two or even three days Do tell, Kris Do you remember "Tell a Friend Friday"? Evo told tons of people So for the next 20 shows you need to tell all of your people to listen to Croncast At 500 shows if we double audience size we will go to two days a week At 500 shows if we have tripled the audience size we will do three days a week So you've got to get to it Hopefully it will spread like herpes, Kris The El Camino is coming back I want a truck minivan combo They are missing the boat Poor customers service Smoke starts coming out of holes where espresso is supposed to come out I inhale deeply the scent of burnt coffee and plastic How not to buy a hermit crab

It is the Croncast 2 year anniversary! Read on for reason of lack of show notes.

This sucks . . . I blew away the show notes by closing the tab after typing them in and not submitting. Firefox should ask if I really want to close the tab instead of just doing it. This sucks.

Betsy tells her auction story, possibly a classic and we also talk about what we're going to do for the group home kids. So we are going to be doing a donation drive for them. I will have some more posts and set up a process for promoting it but it will be later. Got lots of information about the organization but check out their site for more Childserv.org. For now if you would like to make a cash donation to be given directly to the group home send it to kris@palegroove.com (PayPal). Auction photos:

The puffy cuff fashion show is a reality Betsy does up her QVC and I bust out my TailorByrd shirts (aka the ultimate puffy cuff shirts) Kris's beard is outta control and Betsy didn't tell me Betsy mistakes pun and analogy She blames the cleaning product fumes Zout has alcohol in it? "Mixing Comet and Mr. Clean like the best drugs I've ever done. Except my toddler wasn't there and I wasn't in a bathroom" Before the Bear's fashion parade Betsy talks about her dream come true and how it was crushed Kris wouldn't know this because he didn't grow up in civilization The greatest carpet company in the world Hanging out in the breezeway watching Three's Company waiting for the commercial Booba gets excited and then quite Kris crushes her dreams twice Some how you show in all of my dreams Who is on the other line? A sweet woman named Florine or Lorretta She is a carpet warehouse in Cicero . . . not Bombay Did she pick a great American movie star name? Why didn't she sing the jingle before she hung up? It's like waiting for the cable company "Carpet the next day" I'll be sitting on urine soaked carpet for Christmas Ed is not the blue collar, named stiyched on his chest and no mustache like the guy in the commercials Empire guys dolls in the Goodwill hamper Betsy wants hotel carpet "I want carpet that makes me feel lucky" Everyone has boring carpet One color carpet cut to different lengths It's not like a swimming pool you retard Yes, hotel carpet Betsy I can make this carpet with my clippers Why $.88 paper backed carpet isn't Betsy Betsy is trying really hard to sell me on new carpet I don't care about Ed from Empire or his carpet or his Escort full of samples It is a syllogistic loop with Betsy's carpetdom Simply fix the garage door opener for drama 10 minutes of Ed . . . You wish you got 10 minutes of Ed

Here Comes Puffy Cuffs in his TailorByrd threads:

Full blown Puffy Cuff with contrasting bling

The multicolor puffy cuff and Betsy's photo goal. It's too cold to puffy in Chicago now

Betsy says that I would like Oswald Boateng get up Very anti-climactic fashion parade You used to be happy with the orange tag items from the Target end cap Just because it was on sale? Ben Witt sends his thanks . . . You're welcome Ben Ben was around B.B. (before Betsy . . . that's Ben's abbreviation) Betsy gets no more cleaning products . . . she can't add and there are five examples in 1 minute Kris gets called the ageist I put this ageism on Betsy Betsy's first stalker Many more show in the next couple of days!

Super short show notes. It was a slow day in the Croncast world so we tried something new on the show. Not quite sure how it turned out. I'm not sure we'll be doing it again.The thing? What we did? We addressed comments of late regarding some of the things we've said and done. Topics like age (you know we are only kidding!) and Betsy's QVC fashion show.Think of this show as a anomaly in the Croncast world as we also address naming the show 'Croncast' and why Palegroove.We answer many questions that people have had about the show and our lives that we rarely speak to.

Bobble heads for intro

I need more work

It's hard out there for a B

Being so hard on a B

What is the deal with Slowsky?

Should we trade it in . . . nope

Now Slowsky sits on the driveway

Slowsky is like a 8000 lb green lawn flamingo

Searching for the good karma

Smartly - is it a word

It was a good gesture and a valid option

Slowsky is a heapster

Skepticism whether it will last the week or not

Betsy is going to use it as a trade for her sister

Going for good grandma karma

Slowsky is in "Fair" condition according to Kelly Blue Book

They say Slowsky is a$2600 trade! Yeah right

Betsy getting it on in bill land

Stretching her fashion dollar

I swear I don't know what has been happening in our lives

Betsy is now shopping on QVC for clothes . . . what happened to us?

She's only 30, damn

Is it teacher wear?

Kris turns into Puffy Cuffs for a shopping smack down

Nothing is gonna match . . . wait it all comes on a hanger like a Gobot outfit

There is something that is happening that I don't understand

Spinning and crushed under the weight of a spinning black blob

An entire QVC universe

Betsy's other former old lady addictions and other diversions

Bingo with the blue hairs

Best place on earth, you can chain smoke, drink and smoke

"I knew I was out of my target age range when I saw the hypodermic holder on the wall in the bathroom"

Getting the old lady car

We expressed ourselves in the mid 90's and now we seem to be back living it again

The V70 looks like the old mid 80's Volvo wagon

Cute Swedish men in jump suits show up

Read her new post at Resale Queen What is the age difference

The eBay lots that sit in front me off

Being cut off by a Prius (all Prius's except Mike's)

Volvo versus vulva

Show notes: We'll keep these short . . . really short. We apologize for the long winded not so funny show Intro music Show begins Show goes on and on We end show The back story is given in the apology but I'll put it here too just in case. We recorded a pretty boring long winded show and once we reached the end we were going to re-record using the first show as sort of an outline . . . it usually works.But like every other parent on the planet one of our offspring decided it was time to wake up 11 p.m. in search of water that only mommy or daddy could provide. In this process other offspring awakes and the rest is history.

We recorded this late last night and the energy levels in some parts are pretty low. I think the prime time for us to record is around 9 p.m.

Show notes: Intro numero dos thanks to that low energy Turn the dial? Betsy has been sitting in the house for a couple days Even though she went to Goodwill it was a bad day People were packed in wall to wall Wednesday will be worse cause it is old person day (Kris day) Vickie was rockin' her bag that Betsy missed out on Picking up the sister Resale shop at 11:35 . . . and suddenly the rest of my day is gone Betsy has been really grumpy last three days She wants to push off a pier with cement shoes The honest answer is she upset about parenting issues When will you not be too busy . . . 2008? That doesn't count as parenting Aren't we paying off the final credit card next week? There is always another bill, Mr. B. Rick keeps finding ways to get on the show Documentary about Betsy's uncle, Randy Shilts - Reporter Zero We have to find a way to see this movie Life is show prep holmes "I can't believe that I have to look at your mother at Thanksgiving" Flying back to the midwest and seeing the people at the airport You know your terminal by your people The new vast collection of checked shirts Betsy gets to the punch line before me "I don't belong with you people." Betsy says they are 'Puffy Cuffs' The nosey neighbor Nobody will even know when you are dead without nosey neighbors What would Kris be like as a native american? Shirt, pants and accessories from a single hanger on QVC "Fashion Day" Designed to minimize lumpiness Heart shaped mommy pants in the rear Why try to talk with the other mommies? They are not our people . . . they are 10-15 years older than we are Getting an iPass for the tolls as a birthday gift Oh, that was casual clothing

The usual intro goes down like . . . usual Kris points out his neglect of email this week, many apologies Clipped fingernails and buttoning a shirt Betsy gets right into why stress was permeating our day Seeing people that you haven't seen in 5 years . . . like your parents can do it The death of a brother's brother-in-law can make you do stuff They are not inherintly evil people, just not good for us How can you not talk to your parents? Easy Let's move on and live our lives It was awful Where we left them five years ago they haven't moved from that spot Socially every boundry we put they ignored No more interventions, rehab or other visits for us . . . thank you As soon as we walked through the door all gone All they heard was . . . Betsy is an evil bitch and she is making me do this The Don style Setting the stage for this . . . maintaining my own life What you share with kid Putting my self in 6 year old shoes This isn't a situation where you have to put your kids through this How do you manage the situation Betsy called her own get-up 'fag-hag' and my shirts gay . . . we're made for each other Pre-setting boundries Watching Elliot put up his own boundries with my momma "You need to stop right now. I don't know you. I never see you. Don't kiss me." Now we have prime example of "bubble" Feeling like you are the adult when you are the kid There was an out but I didn't think that it would float after more information Back in our lives with nostalgia The door opened to our lives the second we saw them Siblings in the middle It isn't 34 years of new stuff . . . 34 years of the same stuff from the beginning Running off with that guy from rehab Betsy isn't making that up Betsy recounts her reasons for Slowsky love when compared to wanted a new ride Escalade at garage sales versus Slowsky and UU's on Sunday

Back after the Expo What a deal we are out of practice And you were gone . . . Kris leaves and the kids get sick Moose has given up sleeping in his bed Betsy says Kris is too lazy and doesn't obey even when sleeping Our bed is a peninsula Doesn't matter the kids get more of the California King than I do Just like during the day you don't follow my direction I can't rely on you any more in the p.m. than the a.m. Reliability and follow through I really mean that I'll do it At the Expo people expected the blue glasses and to weigh 750 Piano case Kris Maybe tuba case Kris Booba got new glasses after Googie took hers down Not too good with the sunglasses at the theater The subdivision hay ride like a single mommy Drunk or other I want you at next years hay ride At the Expo I hung with lots of people that I wanted to see Betsy even cuts into my pricing "I told you that you were and idiot" Hitting the bricks with an Expo recap Palegroove pricing excludes those searching for "affordable" You never approach someone and say, "I want your worst product" Yes you can do this in your basement too but get good at it It all depends on how hard you want to work at it Any naughty conventioning behavior that you would like to put forth I just happened to be in the wrong place Naked women being painted and spanking Craig Pathcet and a myriad of others can verify that I didn't move off the patio I know you are a guilty man . . . and that is what makes you a good husband Preemptive care taken to limit Booba criticism "Not having you around sucks," is that my twisted way of saying I love you? Yes.

No full intro today Betsy starts making funny hand gestures Her dog looks like the BBK He looks like a spooky eyeless doll His brain is like a wire that goes from his eyes to the back of his brain Though he is the bright spot in our lives this week Fancy stripper pole? I wish! Betsy talks about the non-painted basement The saddest daddy story of my daddy career It's like selling junk . . . I love it We all sit in the same spots No switching sides of the bed How can setting the table be bad? Sometimes I enjoy the fact that you aren't around a lot Maggie takes the plate for me and she put it by the basement door Elliot set table and put martini glass out for grandma Betsy is worried about Gigi not speaking enough We'll clap for Googie, but she won't say anything that we want her to Our collective hard-headedness is magnified in our children "I'm not gonna do it unless I want to do it" "The rules don't apply to me if you haven't noticed" "That's OK I don't care" Betsy cuts me off Starts messing with me Ahhhhh, he is a little boy What is your deal? Betsy meets with Elliot's teacher to explain petit mal seizures They say the man is smart they say, we know this His issue is organic "He doesn't show right or left hand dominance," teacher. Really, of course we notice Parental conferences I'm a scumbag who lost their driver's license This license is suspended business is out of line, makes us feel dirty No Slowsky on the driveway Betsy's sister is not appreciative Iron shoes?

I'm minding the speed limit Two police cars driving really fast Well, I am starting to think it has something to do with me . . . I came to a complete stop, the real stop at a stop sign About 1 mile from home I get pulled over 3 cop cars with lights sitting behind me Windows down and moon roof open I hear the forest preserve cop start yapping (lying) "He almost hit a family in a cross-walk" Are there any problems with your driver's license Mr. Smith No Seems that your license has been suspended I start thinking of Betsy immediately I can arrest you here or arrest you at home? Those are some sweet options The forest preserve officer is asked, "Why didn't you radio this in?" "I wanted to keep this off the radio", he replies Why would it not need to be on the radio????? Then he is treated like the mall cop that he is and leaves Arrest me here or at home? I have to yell out the window and ask him if I'm going to be arrested to do it here and not at my house So let me tell you about the solid that the officer did for me THANK YOU OFFICER WHO'S NAME I DON"T KNOW I was saved by a bucket of chicken!!!!!!! Now we get Betsy's side of the story The bottom line is both our licenses are suspended and we can't drive Thanks for the ride to work this morning Henry We talk about NCN Podcast . . . thanks for the plug Jason!

Thank you," then closes the door Betsy rouses me from the basement with the work "Fire" Stay in the basement because it's safe even though there is a fire The Goodwill grill is now in full flame burning off all the grease from the trap The charred chunky collector flaming and the top are ball of flames and black smoke Kris asks for the baking soda I asked for fire extinguisher right now . . . Betsy threw it out Betsy says it didn't look good and didn't match Any fire extinguisher is better than none Betsy hands me the Morton Salt instead of the Trader Joe's sea salt grinder Saved by neighbor Jack and his fire extinguisher As soon as hose melts to tank I am going to die in an explosion With 911 on call waiting my mother-in-law clicks over to Vicky He saved our house . . . he saved Croncast Betsy finally finds our extinguisher in the garage Finally doused it in water to cool it down to turn off the gas The grill cleaned up ok but I don't think we'll ever use it again Then Kris was swarmed by bees It will go straight to my brain Betsy gets in more about her steaks If I had saved other family I still would be filling out reports and my family would have died Message to you: Go out and buy some fire extinguishers to keep at home.

We figured out what to do for the 300th show . . . give some stuff away. We're calling it "300 by 300th". It's quite ambitious. Here's the timeline: 1) Send us an email, "You should listen to Croncast because . . ."2) Many emails will be put in special page on Monday the 14th3) 300 by 300th begins with more information, graphics, links and registration page on the site4) We hit 300 registered new listeners (some information to follow) and the new listener wins a     30gb iPod and the referring listener wins one also.

Here we come, recorded on our anniversary You will want to remeber the email thing . . . like you forgot We recorded this on our 10th wedding anniversary on the 10th Betsy wants to tell the story of yesterday She speaks of the many phone calls to her mother It is a size issue is all Betsy hears She says Kris can't keep a secret Kris was talking about a refridgerator no a dog Betsy calls to tell me she is going to see the dog Kris tells her no Flinstones anniversary gifts like a fridge Zeus's sign is gone and he is on hold for a family coming to visit Betsy asks to play with the dog then She went to library and picked up some puppy books Turned the dog back in She was pissed and wanted to call in a threat to have dog store closed First Kris doesn't want a dog, Second he'd have to take the dog in his car She calls me to tell me about the sad sale or perception that dog is sold Betsy was pissed at me for not showing up soon Kris walks in with a grand announcement She can't wait to see the receipt from Fry's He bought something that he saw on Cribs too big for our kitchen And out creeps Zeus Kris was the family from far away that put the dog on hold Betsy broke down in tears for 45 minutes People were behind me on the no dog ground Kris listens to listeners more than he listens to me Kris is going to justify the purchase of said dog I break it down Just thinking about the dog riding in my car nearly made me sick Filling the need with the rebound dog I still think it is a bad idea, however, she would have bought the dog anyway Kris pegged Betsy for slaking the family and watched every place outside the store Betsy don't send out the vibe So now he's here and he's a good dog The second part of the gift giving Hey buddy, I got your mom another gift and she can have it when she comes down stairs I knew he would tell Betsy and she would get excited And in all of my unslickness Betsy comes back in 2 minutes 300 by 300th

Happy anniversary, though it really isn't today Betsy's sister has ruined the magic by telling us when it really is "We can have a lovefest for days, right?" "Are you kidding . . . we have kids" Betsy and her sister having snacks We are going to pretend that it is the 20th Figuring out what day it is by using a calendar online Computers have taken the mystery out of almost everything No excuse for blissful ignorance Betsy kidnapped me and car jacked me On way to Verizon store and Betsy detours Time to get Booba a new phone Kris: manipulated again into letting Betsy take charge Kris has a great day today Sean says I have right to bew grumpy and Betsy should put up with it I'm a bear that has to hibernate Anniversary is coming I have no clue where Betsy is takin me I thought it would be something nice It turns out that God spelled backwards and put Patch after it and that is where I ended up See the image above They don't sell puppy mill dogs . . . sure The internet has taken joy out of looking for a dog Betsy extolls the great virtue of Petfinder.com Is it owned by FriendFinder (notice no link) Betsy is way to into this dog thing . . . I am having hard time fighting it Giving up good dogs to keep the bad ones because they will get dirt nap Taking the kids on her doggie rebound trip I don't think it is fair to the kids 10 years of marriage Deployed in WI for 3 years writing wills for soldiers I really question Betsy taking the kids with her It is shopping . . . not just lookinig at dogs Am I alright? You are not going to turn this around on me She's setting up the kids with the dog business They understand more than she thinks and gives him credit for This is shopping for a dog, not looking period He knows when you go to stores you buy things Kris is not a dog hater, Zeus is a good dog, however I have rationalized not needing a new dog The old ass cats as old as Abe Lincoln's bones Betsy's need to bring havoc into our lives Doggy proofing already . . . I can't win So what does it mean to be married for 10 years at our ages 31 and 30? Obviously, it could have been very bad You got married young At older age you have way of running your own life and set in your way We have the same ways "That is really annoying about Kris I can't believe that you put up with that" "Who says that" That doesn't gel with my life I don't care your ticks don't bother It doesn't feel like 10 years to me it feels like a year Our marriage has gotten better in the last 10 years Ball and chain? Not really Kris goes off on some bizarre tangent that makes no sense at all All I can say is thanks Mr. B for giving me room to do what I want to do In the basement like a pile of pudding Kris is keeping secrets Betsy could have gotten the dog tonight if she had done one thing . . .

"Yeah, you're right." She crushed me after last Friday's show Don't act like that is super cake for you "It's not my fault that you fall victim to my manipulation over and over again" If you don't ask you will never know Betsy says asking about money is tacky It's all about being in power You just don't it . . . Kris disagrees Name that situation Back in Milwaukee Bars in basements The high risk personality This could be our 300th episode . . . calling Betsy on her shit She changes the subject Betsy in a polyester Panda shirt The Gumby bunny (story next show) California was a terrible place to raise children The prison gig and taking your kids with you Kris is doing well Anyone who knew me 10 years ago probably thinks I'm hanging gutters in Florida

Betsy is infatuated with Chop "We would both have something to talk about because we both have reality shows" Kris gets bright red "That bastard. Chop you're going down. You're destroying my family.

If you find someone attractive on a reality show don't tell your spouse Is Jeremy Piven ok to tell you I like as Ari? Wait, he did a reality show Betsy asks who I think is hot My reply, the chics on the tattoo reality shows If we were just friends I would fly you to Vegas for a tattoo "I hear Towbin Dodge is around here someplace" I know your motive Betsy I don't look like Chop. Betsy thinks separated at birth . . . say what? He's a well groomed Bears Betsy really likes this guy Mike Rowe is rad but sometimes comes off as an ass, don't we all The stay in school remark to the ore shoveler guy Our turn to come off as asses Transgender understanding The human condition When you can't figure it out Looking for bulges I don't get it, I pegged you for a boy but it doesn't matter but I can't but it together The Madonna concert Take me to Fry's it is my concert Now I know what it is like when I take people to Goodwill Strangers at Goodwill talking to my kids, turns out they are buddies

We talked about it today Betsy made $900 this week and is -$30 Say what!?!? She tells me why this is better than putting it on credit She wants me to apologize Betsy comes to her senses and says, "Kris, you have a small point." She hands over her Pay Pal card to me so she can't spend Lifestyle of the rich and Slowsky Slowsky is a thirsty bitch!

Act #3 is the longest single Croncast we have ever recorded. Every minute is necessary as we explain that this episode definitely isn't something you want to listen to with your kids around.

Why is that? We take you from Denver to Naperville in only 1 hour 23 minutes when it took us 18 hours straight. Which takes some heavy lifting and many,many four letter words.

Show notes will arrive at a later date.I am still trying to process this part of the vacation and reliving it again isn't something that I am looking foward too.

More will follow about the contest for the 30GB iPod also. For now you will have to listen to the show. Enjoy!.

Act #2 is twice the length of our normal shows, but just like our trip we keep pushing through to make the Friday deadline for a full Act #3. That way we won't ever have to talk about this trip again.

So buckle up compadres as we take you on day 2,3 and the close of day 4 as we go from Omaha to Kearney, NE (we love Kearney, Midway Dodge and Thomas Hardage) to Denver.

So where were we? Oh yeah Omaha Go back to Monday, Act #1 if you haven't listened yet We don't have time to reflect up it Awake after 5 hours of deep sleep . . . yeah right Epiphany for Kris, he figures out what the problem is with Slowsky It appears that the gas peddle can't reach the floor or is being stopped Handling dirty carpet Slowsky is accelerating awesome Up I-680 no problem up a hill Air conditioning still blowing out the defrost vent We hit fourth gear and Slowsky bogs down You looked like someone had hit you in the crotch really hard Did we stop or turn around in Omaha?Nope I was gonna pull the oxen through and over the Rockies Common sense would have turned us around Betsy asks the cashier at a truck stop about our issues cause they should know Our game plan becomes eat only at McDonald's and get to Denver Stopping for gas over and over and over Rolling at 60 pushing Slowsky to the breaking point Betsy says cars are loaded weapons I drove slowsky like a retired polo pony Once AAA was taken care of it was on, drive it like I stole it My foot is to the floor burning up the car Slowsky's cry for help . . . check engine light flashes and then dims Nebraska is the windiest state

Drafting with semi trucks because I can't go over 65 Speed limit is 75 which means 85 for all People in Nebraska know there is nothing worth driving slow for I still have no respect for the slow driver The oil pressure gauge was nearly in the red The van may explode at anytime All the fun of a road trip and fantasies about stopping and eating the natives food, gone No tourist traps for Slowsky 35 miles to the next exit The arch over I-80 is where the Check Engine Light stays on

Hilly Iowa, not the hilly Nebraska Calming the kids to soothe the hunching Kris We get lucky and find Kearney, NE Even luckier we find Midway Dodge of Kearney

Right next door was Enterprise We meet Thomas Hardage, the only person not to let us down on this trip It's 11:30 am and they close and 12:00 pm He was a Slowsky prophet he let us know that he 5 hour drive would take us 8 to 9 hours to Denver There's Enterprise, we should leave car for repair Kris says, "no" we're going to Denver and Betsy agrees Help was put in our path and we tell it to fuck off There was no charge to look at our car You should not drive off into the great beyond in your broke ass van "In Denver it will be really expensive", we pass again Back on the road, 55 mph tops Kris tries to make it go 56 entire way to Denver We followed the same truck for about 300 miles

I-76 West down to Denver off of I-80

We are gaining control We can see mountains Now we are back to the itinerary, Yes! Two straight days in a van I will tell you when you can go to the bathroom Telling Betsy over and over that we should have flown and what we would have been doing From now on we fly, first class if we can afford it, 2-3 days at destination, rental car waiting and fly out on day 3 Coming in on the wrong side of Denver Car collecting seems to be a hobby in Colorado Hotel has Denver in name but it surely isn't in Denver Slowsky is now down to 50 mph tops But we've made it to Denver now We're still in control . . . sort of Slowsky was making death nells Right near our hotel exit there is a Dodge dealer, John Elway Dodge on Arapahoe The ultimate welcome to Denver . . . an arrest in our hotel parking lot

Navy wife-beater doesn't go with blond chest hair Doesn't matter how nice a hotel is an arrest in parking lot harshes the mellow We hit the hotel, 6th floor 18 giggling 12 year old girls right next to our room Awesome birrthday for her They were playnig door slamming game, Kris says no Elliot loses his mind when we return to front desk to get another room It is time to eat I was bleeding money our of my eyeballs, really, dollar bills Should have tossed one of the party girls over the balcony Big wedding reception at the hotel, but no one was staying there, not one The restaurant is out of highchairs, all in use for reception It was time to start crying We couldn't catch a break One lone patron was going to hear our woes What restaurants are near here? We make it to Outback Nothing goes wrong so Kris hugs the waitress Elliot gorges himself, turns grey and runs to bathroom to puke He has same gene that Betsy and I have where we eat to comfort ourselves Where's that cereal? Do we have milk? Needs to feel good in my belly How sad is our happiness an Outback? We could have done this at home!!!!!!! Research will take up whole half a work day Talk begins about putting the family on a plane Betsy understands her father's actions now from when he did it when she was a kid It was time to stop the madness We arrange for a rental car from Enterprise Only place to do so is at Denver International Airport on Sunday Shuttle is $20 but you need an appointment, what? Concierge calls taxi for me and off I go Denver knows nothing of urban sprawl There could be free range beef within city limits I tell cabbie DIA The airport was 29 miles from our hotel Ride to Ohare will take $28 bones of my money in a cab Cabbie asks for $65 dollars for the ride!!! WTF

More notes and photos later. To get the rest of this you'll have to listen to the show for now. It is really hard to keep reliving this. But I can't leave out the Act #2 cliff hanger . . . John Elway Dodge doesn't call us, we call them to hear, "Mam, the service manager didn't call you? Well, there's a problem with your vehicle. You see, one of our lot attendants . . . "

Coming up on Friday . . . Vacation: Act #3 Denver to Naperville

Update: These photos are from our 3 hours in Colorado Springs at Garden of the Gods and someplace in the downtown area. Family photo credited to guy I thought was homeless but turned out to be one of the dudes who just hang out to watch people go by.

Thus begins our sharing of a vacation that ended 5 days early. We are not quite sure that our big summer vacaction driving to Denver in Slowsky was really a vacation. But we are sure that we will never drive anywhere on vacation again.

What we can say about our trip is that with the help of many lucid memories and five days to regain our footing on solid ground that we would like to bring your our trip in three separate podcasts. There is too much to share in a single 30 to 40 minute podcast that deserves great attention to detail. What do you call a thousand mile trip in you wife's savings account? If you're us, show prep.

The long, feel good intro Sending email easy like When we last left you it was June 2 of 2006 a millenia ago Things were much simpler then H.G. Wells Time machine could take us back Walking hand in hand with your spuse at the beach I would have liked to have decided not to go on vacation We should have flown Short version, we leave, there's trouble and we come home five days early Here we go We're going to rcap the whole thing in 3 shows It is June 2, 2006 in nice and sunny Naperville, IL Kris is an hour late and damned Skype showed it to Betsy Moments of our life are really important to you Betsy pretends that she is me on Skype sometimes The planets seemed to be aligned for our trip The eBay pick-up guy got here right on time Naperville was going to be hardest part with traffic Driving Slowsky is like launching a boat An hour and a half later w'ere making 8 miles of progress The van is too tall for most drive thru awnings Slowsky went to the dealer and got $1500 of repairs to travel worldwide This is the point where you start adding up the costs Gas doesn't count as vehicle maintenance We finally make it to I-88 Slowsky is topping out at 70 mph with nothing more to give First omen . . . we ignore it We're gonna make it to Omaha It wasn't a shifting issue but I am pushing Slowsky really hard We get near DeKalb which is 50 miles from home and think about turning it around again We push on Betsy says "no" to my lead foot and thinks the 70 mph thing is good Slowsky is sucking gas and needs refill at 180 mile mark, still in Illinois Another omen Kris starts venting that we should have flown at gas station number two "I drove the Alaskan Highway and need a new car." All the signs were there It was our decision to keep moving on Not true to Betsy's faith Dinner at The World's Largest Truck Stop on I-80 Maybe it is safe because it's a tourist trap Nope, it's a 3-D world of a sex offender registry All just minor inconveniences at this point Bleeding money out of my eye balls 10 years ago this would have been an adventure but with kids it is a nightmare In Iowa they drive on the grass Not a single room vacant Pulling off on Omaha hoping for an empty hotel room Scoring a room 20 miles north of downtown 10,000 lesbians converged on Omaha the same day as our vacation, of course

Show Notes

We did a show with our friends Greg and Lisa of Viva Podcast! You can listen to Greg and Lisa at www.vivapodcast.com. Never have we done anything like this and thought it would be fun to hook up with our podcasting homies from New Mexico.

It is a podcast mashup of epic proportions . . . maybe.

The show turned out really well, however there are audio quality and sync issues on our end due to equipment flaking out. I worked for a long time to get it back to a level of quality that you would be able to palette.

Thanks also to Greg for putting together the awesome album art for this conjunctive event.

Full show notes will be in the future.

Coming from studio "A" at casa de smith

From my phone:

Betsy is UU - Universalist Unitarian Her faith was waning Affirmation was to follow Betsy's $6.00 donut Veggie Tales for non-hardcore Christian "Your had was possesed by the devil." The kids have it right What about a more kid oriented church McDonalds targeting kids Branding, playgrounds, get'em while they're young The born-agains have the same plan What would you say to someone who tried to give you McDonalds food for a dinner party? Megachurches do so well, not because they don't smell like meat and dirty childrens socks "Why you gotta be hating on peoples invisible airplanes?" Putting pizzaz in your Jesus pants Betsy's split personallity Libertarian on her left shoulder, George Bush on her right and her right in the middle What happens when you tell people you do a podcast If you don't know what that means you aren't down with God Maggie is evolving into a part of Betsy How would you know The Maggie faces - she can throw them The cattle elevator Kill you with a look and it makkes people nervous It looks like the Devil came into her skeleton Enough of the Christian metaphors, if you've ever listened before you know we are not in that camp and if you haven't listened before our philosphy is to make up your own mind.

Croncast - 2006-02-23-best-of-year-one.mp3 Show: #198 Length: 1:19:48 Size: 54.8 mb Format: mp3 Croncast - We're Coming Over - Best of Year One Croncast diaspora it is time to come together again. To begin facilitation of our re-unification I will try to make my peace with you by offering up something that brought me to tears yesterday. Tears from laughter. Like many of you who listen to the show and send messages of how you were laughing and crying in your car, on a plane, commuting to work on a train or otherwise listening to the show and spitting your beverage on your computer; that was me yesterday in a Kinko's parking lot. I was sitting there because, like all of you, I neglected something that meant a great deal to a listener. You see, Melissa M. from Sacramento had purchased We're Coming Over as a birthday gift for her boyfriend and I hadn't shipped it. Neglected, she sent email and a voicemail to remind me to send it. There I was at Kinkos testing out the audio CD that has the best of year one on it and I was laughing so hard that the other people in the parking lot were staring. I might have even been clapping. It is a wonder to me that I ever go out in public with how many embarrassing stories Betsy has told about me. Anyway, I would like to send out today as a podcast, the best of year one to you. You deserve it. I have neglected nearly everything and everyone for the last month and want to apologize. All in my life deserve better of me. Yes, you are part of my life. Melissa, thank you for your patience, persistence and kind voice when I explained that your DVD was on it's way for today.

It was like Friday's? The fast food of the sit down world Itsy bitsy entrees Fluke might not be the tasting food I have ever had It was so good that I tucked my shirt It was a business trip No corporate heirarchy will take away Betsy's divaness It is hard to sleep when spouse leaves town Kris was at the Hilton and Betsy was at the cul de sac Elliot gets Goodwill The same fire burning inside that Betsy has The bi-polar asian dude What he wanted for Christmas Creatures from the stuffed animal bin That was your childhood, not his You gotta watch the guy You'd think he was Hertzakaveenan Never show your interest in any item if you want it Betsy's hesitation caused the loss Kris, it is your fault but I forgive you The receptionist thought I was hot My co-workers were giving me a hard time about it Yup, he thought I was hot The suit, I looked so good that I looked gay I was in San Francisco for 5 minutes and had a boyfriend My hetero posse picked up on it, I didn't Kris is completely socially retared We were both our happy places The once a week show deal has us all screwed up telling stories The suit story, I will spare the show notes on this Carson Pierre Scott - worst shopping Over $50 I will never shop in their store again So for $50 they will never get a penny of my business again How much do you think a regular customer spends over their life-time in their stores? "At Your Service" signage should be changed to "We Hate You. Give us your money!" He's gonna get thrown out by security So I bought my suit from Von Maur My suit is currently owned by Bank of America I should have it paid off in a year Kris sort of did It wasn't a threat, it was a promise Dreaming about the receptionist Like it is 1974 and I'm a swinger If a man named Paolo calls give him my cell So Betsy is going back to Carson's, where's the love Wholesale $.99 retail $299.99 Wal-Mart looks suspiciously like Goodwill except with multiples 6 pounds of Charmon and 25 push-ups Rumor starts here: To aleviate avian flu, cure it childrens Moltrin in high doses taken rectally.

For the next week we beg for dollars like my cousins who say they are dancers. When we all really know they are just making enough money to get through cosmotology school. I'll get to show notes (short show notes) in a second. Man this is a long show today, everything started out great and then someplace in the middle Betsy asked me to tell a story of one of the most horrific memories of my childhood. So the show is really low for a while then picks back up again. We decided not to edit the story out or any of the ensuing conversation because Betsy says it gave her more understanding of my attitudes, personality and perceptions when it comes to everyday life. Show notes like this: Kris is graduating from with a BA this Saturday after 12 years Wife's putting husbands through medical school . . . hmmmm. Betsy's family rip and how she misses my mom People you respect you think are taller than they really are Changing the kids' last name to famous names from Smith Elliot ends up in wrong class and Betsy flips How to deal with being picked on as a kid, Kris' idea is way off from Betsy's, Kris says he needs roids at an early age.

Maggie is also really vocal on today's show.

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 really I don't think stars shop at Aldi's- except maybe Rachel Hunter before the smash hit Dancing with the Stars which is on my must watch this week. Rachel has probably upgraded to Albertsons store brands now that things are looking up. Screen shots from the video.

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 because I am not going to check these facts. Betsy and I fit Viagra, Wal-Mart and Nascar into the same 5 minutes, proof positive we've been living in the midwest forever, we get into Wal-Mart being evil and their funding of NPR shows, the darkside equivilant of this; Darth giving a free shirt to Yoda with his likeness and Yoda sporting it day and night. Our long distance Casey Kasem shout out to Melanie from Nova Scotia, all songs being euphemisms for sex, Wang Chung? and Billy Ocean and his commercial for his song. Tom sent in a notice that my new car was one of the top 10 "Nerdmobiles" by CNET look for the Scion xB, we talk about Betsy's love fluff and we wrap with a final story of my youth and the small town.

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; "Charlie you are going to end up working someplace like Fargo, North Dakota", how they both ended up in Chicago, legalized big media and in the future Vince promised share his story about growing up in the town that brought the world purple ketchup

From left: Vince Munion, Charlie Wojciechowski and Kris with a "k".

From left(sorry couldn't help it): Betsy grinning in a way that frightens me.

Kris' pre-interview meal of frozen peas. Act II: The show no one was ever supposed to hear, the show we recorded during the taping of some b-roll. It is unedited so that you can get a sense of what it was like in the basement for this interview. You have probably heard a couple of these pieces before but they have renewed freshness. The interview should air on NBC5 this Friday. What time? I have no idea I need to make some phone calls. If anyone in the Chicago area can tape this for us I would really appreciate it because we are supposed to be out of town for Elliot's birthday. ">

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 me that camping isn't waking up in the back of a truck bed in a cornfield but is Wolfgang Puck Latte's in a personal cup, we do the show shout outs, special one for Timothy Vojta for a generous donation, my childhood viewing of Miami Vice (I never wanted to be Tubbs).

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 I may not know about (cause I am such an animal expert) by giving her time by telling a story about a $30 tip that I received as a table-side chef from burning the side of my head, she comes up with "what days are the tag days at Goodwill?". We also talk about naming kids thanks to Allegra, we start the outro and then I remind everyone that they can donate some money to support the show here at the website. Betsy says that even $1.99 will go far at Goodwill. ">

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. ">

"Excuse me, are those two chicks making out over there?" The answer was, "Yes. Twice."

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. ">

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. ">

Friday's show is the late nighter that we promised. Thansk again to everyone who has sent messages of concern for us and our family. But everything is cool. No illnesses, troubles or double chins with mold; we are on track. We have ben very busy with good stuff that we will talk about next week. This good stuff has nothing to do with podcasting or eBay. Betsy took me to see the first live recording of NPR's Wait Wait Don't Tell Me! in Chicago as a gift for being sick all day on Thursday. A couple things happened at the show that were really cool besides being at the first one they will record for their new format. One was that Betsy and I were interviewed about the show by a Chicago Tribune reporter. Of course I had to drop that we were podcasters. So maybe in Saturdays paper the reporter will mention it. Maybe we'll get cut but it was cool nonetheless, as I run out the door to go buy the paper this morning and check. The second was that the host of the show, Peter Sagal, was meeting people in the lobby and signing autographs. I got this special little write up on mine. We are Peter Sagal's favorite podcasters. Proof below.

We recorded early in the morning because it is Betsy's Mom's birthday today and they were going to do nothing else but . . . go to garage sales and Goodwill. I think Goodwill needs to start kicking in a little sumthin sumthin for all the play we give them. Maybe not always positive on my behalf but atleast we can spell it right. We discuss why Betsy enjoys conservative radio; well not enjoys it but gets fired up, sermon radio for neighbor humpers, the reference section in the Bible, miracle water on Comedy Central, Benny Hinn, the contest entries, Elliot peeing in the garbage can a few nights ago, bottom swatting. Betsy feels like a total loser! She invited a mommy to her church the first time she talked to her. She feels really bad like she's an evangelist for the Universalist Unitarians. She really does. She called me once it happened and it was really funny for me. We also talk about the "no sperm from gay men ban" by the FDA and the demotion of Army Reserve Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski to Colonel thanks to a military judge not hanging Lynndie England out to dry for the Abu Ghraib business, Kris's asymmetrical bald spots on his head "looks like you flew headlong into flypaper and tore yourself loose", what Betsy has learned from Drag Queens, the epilady spring loaded hair ripper outer and how Betsy got revenge in 6th grade against all the other girls who picked on her. Goodwill Goody Contest Continues - Ends Monday! 1) Send an email to betsy@croncast.com with the word "Contest" in the subject line 2) Write a couple sentence bio about yourself 3) Betsy will print out all names and put them in a cookie jar 4) She will pick one name 5) Grand Prize - Betsy will be your personal Goodwill shopper. She will interpret your bio and buy you an appropriate gift for Goodwill value up to $9.99 (You could end up with a waterbed or car at that price) and ship it to your home or business. ">

We had to get out of the house early this morning so I could be to work at 12. What? Why so early? One car living in the suburbs traveling the opposite way of the train will do it. Back to the Body Worlds Expo, Betsy goes back to her guilt over missing snack day because it is Mother's Day Tea at school, DebateGod podcast uses a clip from our show www.debategod.com (haven't listened to the clip yet, hopefully it is still in context), the baby not sleeping well, what the Goodwill Goody Winner may get as the winner of the contest, my hatred for stretch pants on Milwaukee women and the man wants breakfast.

After Betsy's schpiel she talks of her newest addiction . . . renting cars, the contest, the beast little whore house in Texas and the visit that the Man and I had at the Museum of Science and Industry, see photos below: The banner (No one is allowed to take photos inside the exhibit)

Happy Birthday Kyle! And for those of who don't think that I could make your ears bleed, I will succeed with my singing of Happy Birthday. Betsy answered her emails for Croncast and gives shout outs to some of the folks who have sent mail to her this week. Betsy also answers the life long question, "When else can you throw a ball at the head of your enemy?" Kris rips into Bill Gates over the Microsoft campaign to outsource more jobs. Stop saying that the people don't have the skills here in the states and simply admit the fact that it is economic. My solution is for Microsoft, Dell, Cisco, Novell and any other tech company to open their own schools here in the states to teach people to fill these positions. Why shouldn't they? Cherry pick them at at early age and bring them up, open training online or face2face for people who can fill the other positions. I'm just sick of this shit where these companies use this pretext that there are no people in this country to fill these jobs, bullshit. Quit lying and tell the truth. On other notes we talk about our forefathers fighting for the suburbs, Anna Nicole Smith water fountains, Kris got pulled over again and got out of the ticket, and and and . . . . Betsy is launching a contest: 1) Send an email to betsy@croncast.com with the word "Contest" in the subject line 2) Write a couple sentence bio about yourself 3) Betsy will print out all names and put them in a cookie jar 4) She will pick one name 5) Grand Prize - Betsy will be your personal Goodwill shopper.

On today's show we remark about the Earth still being here 3 days after Earth Day, Goodwill has new rules, suburban allergies, the inability to light a fire in the suburbs, naked bicycling and clothed bicycling. Evidently there is a new minister at Betsy's church and the interim one has been axed fro mthe cult ;), natural burials, Betsy is all for them because they are cheap and how not to dispose of a cremated body in a state park, giant hawks from an alien world.

Then Betsy makes sure that she gets into last nights play group and how suburban life has manifested itself into one big spending spree on intangibles. Back in the glory days Kris was a BMX'n boy. The rest of the show goes like this, a baby shower for Kris at work (I guess it is Kris with a 'K') which is a party for having successful unprotected sex, mankind's greatest achievement is birth control, the epideral breakdown from the man's birth, marketign of health care, Betsy is a sale junkie, the pledge drive and Betsy's random collection of talking teletubbies.

Betsy and I want to thank the writer David Garbe and the photographer for taking the time to hang out with us. The best part of the article is that Betsy gets the "podcaster" label.

I plug a real-time stats application called TFS (twenty-four-seven) from Oplossing.net. It is PHP/MySQL driven and I love it. The problem is that it doesn't work with WordPress 1.5. If you want real-time stats PHP/MySQL based for WP 1.5 pick up TrackPro 2 from Curve 2 Design. ">

We kind of hurry through today's show because the guy who was coming to take photos was late. I get into the wild game dinner that I attended as a kid at a local junkyard . . . salvage as the folks here in the suburbs would call it, the buffalo that lived across the street from me as a kid, Betsy gets into how her dad took her to an illegal farm or as I now will call it, "A slaughter it yourself grocery" with many other kinds of wild game that I have never had the pleasure of eating . . . like alligator gibblets. Again it is probably another don't eat while listening show. We have to stop doing these. But it is a funny show and gets straight to the point. Maybe we should always have peopel come over so we can just get to the meat. ">

Long show but full of good stuff with Todd from Bridge Communications, also known as the "PR Guy" at the house. Todd is handling public relations, press releases and copy writitng for me (Palegroove Studios). Todd brought in questions for me for this interview and I thought they might have something to do with the launch of Palegroove but I was wrong. It is a listener play along game composed of current events where you, yes you get the chance to out smart me. Turns out that it isn't that hard. Good luck. We also get into why I started Palegroove Studios, my vision of what makes a good podcasting, my vision of the future of pocasting and of course my passion for it. I love it. And like I would say on the show I fucking love it. Todd probably won't approve the language but that is how he helps. With that I would like to formally thank Todd for all of his hard work over the past two weeks to get Palegroove Studios out in front of many people, his excellent copy writing and last but not least his new friendship.

Betsy is special guest again. She's says I smell like hot pork. Other than that we deal with Betsy losing her voice, wanting to deliver the baby early. Kris, me, wants to apologize for the episiotomy bit yesterday. You should be able to eat your meals today. Betsy rolls on by readign a post card from her dad sent from Argentina on his vacation to pet a penguin. Kris rolls on with palegroove stuff . . . look for a new site by Monday. Then, finally Betsy tells how hard it is to buy a VCR these days and why people shoudl make sure the stuff they drop off at Goodwill needs to be in working order. And on a total downer, Kris answers the burning question of why his mother was in jail, Betsy does some social work for me and I give a final PSA. ">

So as unceremoniously as usual Betsy and I forget the fact that we got some press today and talk on about how she backed the van into my Lincoln and broke off the mirror, the wobbly-eyed nurse from the last time we had a baby, who's getting fixed and how. Last but not least we also talk about the launch of Palegroove Studios and how the site still isn't finished or ready to go but enough procrastinating about the word is out.

We talk a little today about one night stands, can you call a intimate love a "lady friend"?, what about "man friend"? What a world. Kris actually talks about politics on the show today. Betsy and I talked about our liberal tendencies and Kris actually has something good to say about a Republican president. So with politics aside, or right out in the open, we talk more about pet modification, Kris not remembering what he posted on the blog yesterday, NPR stories, Darfur, Rush and his Oxycontin, dumpster diving for food, the need for plastic surgery, the best description of breasts after they have been used for feeding by Betsy, Kris losing 85 lbs and Betsy lost 135 lbs, podcasting everyday is like cocaine and the shout outs to Dave Miller from The Miller Report, Rinne and James at The Invincibles.org (you have to check out the newest video), and we end with Kris's jacked up teeth . . . again.

Not really But she talks a lot today about her pregnancy, forgetting about her auctions, the PTA meeting she attended last night laughing like you wouldn't believe as I type this, hot lunch, no time for pizza man, haze of Marlboro smoke that Kris grew up in and finally Bety's suburban mommy guilt. Did Betsy or Kris say these? "I was supposed to live in the city and be single and having sex and doing drugs until I fell over at 40." "I need a beer and a cigarette . . . this baby's still in me."

Betsy talks about being called "Besty" and how it has affected her and Kris talks about gettign paid for doing web design. We also hit on the "Knocked Up" clothing line for pregnant women. Apparently there was a football game yesterday that Betsy and I had no idea was going on which accounted for me going to the store and it being bare with only women shopping and working. It was like an alternative universe for me, wasn't really that appealing. Maybe if it was a desert island it would have made a difference. ">

The show ends today with two of the new songs - How You Sound and Drowning Rose. ">

Not that we were gone all that long, two shows for me and one for Betsy. Thanks to everyone who sent messages and left comments on the blog over the last four days. Today's show focuses on the visit that we paid to the obstetrician yesterday and the nomenclature that doctors use when speaking to one another and how it may no be such a good idea to share it with patients. I thought it was pretty funny and Betsy surely didn't. We also talk about ground hog's day, the doctor, how Kris got his priorities all out of whack (we both cry), sending baby stuff, Betsy using baby Maggie for deals at garage sales and daddy's, children will destroy your car.

The blog post that started it all, The Pod People Are So Human. The follow up, Text, Audio, and Editing: I Stand Somewhat Corrected. Today, Amy and I delve into women in podcasting, technology and interface design for women. We also talk about podcasting use in education. This show was plagued by technical difficulties so there are abrupt cuts. I left them in to demonstrate a little bit of how difficult it can be to use new technologies to perform. I am starting to believe that maybe it is just Windows. My Mac compatriots seem to be handling this stuff better with their MobilePre's while mine wants to flake out if more than three applications are running.

Kristopher-Smith-2004-11-08.mp3 6.74 mb 29:26 32k The idea for my show is the same as a million others but I am going to force myself to have a daily show that is available by 3 p.m. CST for the commute home. I'll be doing interviews and discussions, topics will vary and hopefully next week some comedy skits. For Friday November 12, 2004 I am doing a special show that will focus on favorite Chris/Kris moments. What? Everybody know at least one Chris/Kris, male or female. Send me a link to or an email attachement of your favorite or memorable Chris/Kris moment and I will stick it into my show on Friday. The original idea for this show was to have my family and friends tell me how good this Kris is, but I thought it would be more fun to talk about every Chris/Kris that people know and not necessarily myself. These can be good or bad Chris/Kris experiences but not phony ones or name replacements of some other funny story that doesn't have a Chris/Kris in them. If you send in one that I use I will whore myself out and plug your site, podcast. . . anything that you want. Send responses to k@kristophersmith.com. If I don't receive anything then you will just have to listen to all the glory and idiot things that this Chris/Kris has done.
