Click here to download.In this week's show:

  • We started about 15 minutes late because the chair that was broken during our last show was in the process of getting repaired.
  • Why are we talking more quietly tonight? Two words: new neighbord.
  • Meet Doug, Ed's successful elderly cousin.
  • Karen's computer contracted a virus. Five days later, we're back up and running with a little help from Bryan Smart's pregenerated Windows 7 unattended install script.
  • Who will win the "who has the louder sound system game?" We will, of course.
  • Derek calls in to tell us about some payback he and his room mates gave to an annoying next door dorm mate.
  • All of this week's music breaks are dedicated to our new downstairs companions. The first break eximplifies this fact.
  • Karen and I both have new jobs. Payment for one of them was in the form of an iPod Touch. Karen demonstrates this useful, sophisticated device by.... playing ping pong.
  • I give major props to the TVU Networks player and OO Tunes media applications.
  • Karen and Ed then make a stupid song about the upcoming Cowboys and Vikings showdown.
  • Why is bacon grease so bad for dogs?
  • Karen's grandfather passed away last weekend. We are keeping her family in our thoughts and prayers.
  • After some sports talk, John calls in to spin in his swivel chair while eating a hefty tripple from Wendy's.
  • Our overly jealous dog really doesn't like it when I hug Karen. We demonstrate this behavior on the air.
  • We then play a recording I made last Saturday of the dog's wrath when I tried taking his favorite toy away. One listener claims that his bark sounded almost human.
  • Going back to bacon, we talk about an emergency breakfast that Karen prepared during one of our last mornings in Washington, D.C.
  • We take a second musical break to play more songs for our neighbors.
  • One of our listeners hates the word "spider." We naturally take advantage of the phobia for a minute or two.
  • Steve's Talking Clock is now compatible with Windows 7. Click here to download it.
  • Corona then calls in to ask Doug a few questions. In this conversation, we learn quite a bit about her presidential campaign.
  • Finally, one of Corona's campaign interns calls in to clarify how Ed's run for the presidency was sabotaged from the very beginning.

That does it for this week. Despite our busy schedules, we will endeavor to keep broadcasting as regularly as possible. Thanks for listening, and see you next week.
