Best Performances of '08

In our next podcast Kendall and I carefully dissect every moment of 2008, but we neglected to say our favorite performances of the year.

Needless to say, Heath Ledger's Joker was the best thing since . . . Jack Nicholson's Joker at the very least. When he was not on screen I constantly thought "Where's Joker?? What's Joker doing? Has anyone seen the Joker??" just like I always do for Poochy the rockin' dog. In fact, during the entirety of "Eagle Eye" I was wondering what the old Joker was up to.

Meryl Streep is GOD! She can do anything! "Doubt" is enjoyable for everyone's performances but "Streep is the new Messiah" will be on my Christmas cards next year! "I have such . . . doubts!!!!!" No DOUBT about it she's the entertainer of the millenium.

Was there a funnier person on screen in double-naught-eight than James Franco in "Pineapple Express"? No, dude!!! Spark up a doobie and watch some weird shit in Youtube until next week when the movie hits dvd! A++

Tina Fey is to thank for Obama!!! Yes SHE Can!!! I'm sorry Sarah Palin will be buried under a snow drift for the next 100 years for only one reason: no more Tina Fey as Sarah Palin!

The Bird Carrie wore on her head in her first attempt at marrying Big easily fits in with my top 3 birds of all time (the other two being Woodstock and Channel 4's Snowbird). Best Bird/Hair Ornament/Conversation Piece of the decade!!!

What were your faves???

New Years!!

The above video is the beautiful Anderson Cooper and the effervescent Kathy Griffin talking about their New Years Eve on CNN special airing tonight! They are hilarious together and should be watched!!

Also LOOK OUT! Our New Year's podcast will be out before Friday to chow down on! We wouldn't forget about you!

New Episode- At the Beach!!

Well, Christmas is over- and what better way to celebrate than with an all new show!!!

This week we come to you from real beaches in California and Florida! Things You Should Know, and tips from Mrs. Potterbutter Butterchurn abound in this very SASSY show- it's sunny and full of oily cabana boys! Take that Pope!! Don't worry- Kendall brought his dinger along!

Keep Christmas with You

Above is some english teenager singing the WONDERFUL "Keep Christmas With You" from Sesame Street. Kendall and I are definitely bummed that the season is over, but will soldier on- especially since when you get older Christmas seems to come sooner and sooner every year. And you get balder and fatter, but I digress.

So if you prefer the REAL Muppet version you can link to it from the Youtube page this kid's version appears on. But embedding was disabled. How Un-Christmassy! Must have been Oscar.

Seasons Greetings! it's time for a Christmas cartoon!

We hope you go out and do something ghoulish this evening and be safe and have fun!! For Halloween comes only once a year!

On a serious note, sorry for the lack of cartoons lately- I will get back on the cartoon wagon shortly I promise!

So it goes.

This weekend we said goodbye to Hollywood legend Paul Newman. He was a great talent, and a remarkable philanthropist. And, well . . . one of the best lookin' men ever- you don't have to be Mary or Rhoda to notice. Maybe he'll be a guest on "Cloud to Cloud."

From the Road . . .

Kendall would want me to tell you that I am on sabbatical. I have not yet written a book, left TN, or done much more than watch Netflix and read. But someone once said "Idleness is not doing nothing. Idleness is being free to do anything." Of course freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.

At any rate it was my birthday recently! And above is photographic evidence that so far on sabbatical I stopped by the woods on a sweaty afternoon, had my picture taken with Heather in between a barn and a Sonic, crammed my mouth full of Blizzard, and been shoved in a washing machine by Beadie. More to Come!

Technical Difficulties

Hi Listeners,

Cliff and I had a little technical difficulty this week.  It seems a small portion of myself was mysteriously erased from the podcast.  Sometimes this stuff happens.  Was it Grandpa McCain trying to shut us as well as America down.  We may never know.  At any rate, the problem has been fixed and the show has been re-uploaded with all the sass that was intended.  If you have already downloaded the show, just erase and re download.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks and happy listening,

           Cliff and Kendall
