Yesterday as I drove up the Stagecoach Road in Dublin, California, I saw several young men in their late 20's to early 30's standing outside of condo complexes all with beards, crappy t-shirts, and cigarettes.  Not that I wear the best quality t-shirts, but I am thoroughly done with facial hair and I certainly would never smoke.  Although, I'm also not in my virile 20's or 30's anymore, either.  In fact, a birthday hangs in the balance for me in less than 2 months.  Thanks for reminding me.  I'm so glad we had this chat.

Today we hear from Benita, the Disgruntled Fiddle Player, and the Brewmaster, PLUS it's the FINALE of my INTO AN INTERVIEW with the Austin, Texas band COURRIER and their bassist TAYLOR COLE BARTHOLOMEW!

Next show, it's the return of the much loved feature WOW SCHATZ WOW where we'll look at some recent news stories that will surprise you!  Plus we'll hear from Madame Rootabega, Valentino, and Bison Bentley!

I never cease to be amazed by how people don't give a ding dong dang that I am a podcaster.  I might as well say I breathe and think a lot about food.  Podcasters are a dime a dozen in today's world.  But it's not like it's the easiest thing to do.  For a podcast to sound half way decent you have to put some work into it: the structure of the show, the sound quality, your topics.  You have to make it easily accessible to anyone.  I think I have succeeded in doing that.  I've made it accessible to anyone with a computer or smart phone.  If you have neither, starting now I'll mail you each show on audio cassette.  Just send me a stamped self addressed envelope!  Is that you, 1979?

Today we hear from Chely Shoehart, Floyd the Floorman, and John Deer the Engineer, PLUS it's PART 2 of my INTO AN INTERVIEW with TAYLOR COLE BARTHOLOMEW of the Austin, Texas band COURRIER!

Tomorrow it's the FINALE of my INTO AN INTERVIEW of the band COURRIER, plus we'll hear from Benita, the Disgruntled Fiddle Player, and the Brewmaster!

Yes, the rules in the Bay Area are strictly enforced, now and then.  A rule about wineries is being enforced in PodCastro Valley and the whole case is a bit odd.  I agree they shouldn't have people working for free at this local winery, but I also feel the labor board that swooped in to stop them were complete bullies and I have dealt with bully law enforcement in the Bay Area before.  Meanwhile people fly through red lights all over town.  Who's bullying those idiots?  No one.  Thus my rant endeth. 

Today we hear from Madame Rootabega, Valentino, and Bison Bentley, PLUS it's the return of INTO AN INTERVIEW where I speak with TAYLOR COLE BATHOLOMEW of the Austin, Texas band COURRIER!

The ridiculous rules continue here in the East Bay.  Particularly now on 580 or as I want to say it THE 580 because I'm an overly tan former So Cal dude.  Signs saying one particular rule, like no littering or no parking, are obnoxiously placed at max 30 foot intervals along the road.  Meanwhile, there's some wackadoo erecting ridiculous billboards on his premises next to THE 580 that tout how the Bay Area is being "globalized."  They are the poorest written billboards, to boot.  Even this blog is better written.  Shock.

Today we hear from Benita, the Disgruntled Fiddle Player, and the Brewmaster, PLUS it's the DEBUT of a brand new segment called MATTHEWS NEWS where we'll look at some recent interesting news stories pulled from the finest publications in the land that still somehow turn a profit putting ink to paper.

Next show I have a very special guest whom I will be chatting with on the feature INTO AN INTERVIEW, plus we'll hear from Madame Rootabega, Valentino, and Bison Bentley!

When I worked in Alabama, I worked at a radio station which was run by a man that I can only call quite simply a tyrant.  We was hellbent on striking fear in all of his employees.  He had no fear of the company that owned us, Cumulus, and he had distinct ideas on how managers, myself being one of them, needed to behave.  He yelled at me often and somehow thought that I needed to yell at my small staff of 3 people.  He called me an "amiable" and said I was too nice to people.  Managers need to be hated by everyone, he said, though he would call that "respect."  Well, I never respected him and I know few people that did.  Don't run your companies like tyrants.  You'll only be overthrown.

Today we hear from Chely Shoehart, Floyd the Floorman, and John Deer the Engineer, PLUS it's the FINALE of my INTO AN INTERVIEW with the wonderful TERRY ASHKINOS of the San Francisco band EL TERRIBLE!

Rules here in the Bay Area are strict and stupid.  So much for this place being liberal!  I was fined 300 bucks for Basil the Boxer being off leash in an area that was clearly marked as okay for dogs being off leash.  People are getting 300 dollar tickets for dropping people off at a BART station in Oakland.  Where does it all lead?  On a brighter note, I have a podcast where I can complain about this stuff.  Why don't you complain with me?  Together we can make the Bay Area liberal again.

That guy who started Family Guy is one rich guy.  He's since started a reboot of Cosmos which has done very well and though he had a movie tank this year, that teddy bear movie did pretty well.  Plus he drew the characters for his cartoon and voices them.  His talents no no bounds.  Oh, and he's pretty good looking.  Isn't it nice when you know the pressures off?  How can I possibly impress anyone when he's doing all the impressing and impressions that are needed on this earth?  I'll go back to sticking my finger into mashed potatoes.

Today we hear from Chely Shoehart, Floyd the Floorman, and John Deer the Engineer, PLUS it's the return of the much loved feature THE MIKELOPEDIA INSANICA where we look at some fascinating recent stories that involve our SOCIETY and CULTURE today.

I know we need laws, but what's the deal with the local Bay Area authorities flexing their muscle on the most asinine things!  Giving me a ticket for having Basil the Boxer off leash in an area that was NOT clearly marked.  Getting a ticket for soft stopping at an incredibly obscure stop sign in the middle of PodCastro Valley.  And now another ridiculous law enforcement that went down in PodCastro Valley I will tell you about on today's show!  Fire up the emails!

Being a tour guide for someone that's awesome is like taking a mini vacation myself.  For three days I was showing a lovely German visitor around the Bay Area and actually discovered a couple things I didn't know about.  So my advice?  Be a tour guide.  Just not one of those creepy smelly ones that say the same things over and over again until it sounds like verbal vomit.  Unlike this show, which sounds like a leaky faucet of lucidity.

"Ain't love a funny thing, one day you're giving up the dream, the next you're picking out a ring." George Strait is so idealistic, but it's true that there are so many fish in the sea and you just need to put yourself out there to find a new friend.  I met a very cool German tourist yesterday who we ended up having dinner and having a fun time.  I'll tell you all about that on today's show and possibly sing more profound country lyrics as well.

My Labor Day Weekend has begun in an interesting way.  We look at that and then look away really quick because we heard that cheesy late 80's Chicago song "Look Away"...baby look away.  Then we laugh at ourselves because we remember 80's songs and then we realize we chose a career in radio back then so that sort of goes with the territory.  Then we break for tea.

The Labor Day Weekend is here!  Time to waste a bunch of gas since it's so cheap!  Okay, so you listen to the show.  You know a little of my history.  You know I have spent over 20 years in the radio business.  Oh...you didn't know any of that?  Oh...so there's this guy who hosts a podcast who has all this radio experience and something that happened to him in the late 90's is happening to him again.  Find out what that is and for god's sake listen to one of my shows now and then!  I don't ask for much.  The show is free.  Well, it should be free we both know that.  Who are we kidding.  Or is it whom?  Jesus, I need to take remedial grammar.  And get some coconut oil.  That s#*! is good.

When you name drop, an angel gets his anvil and tries to drop it on you.  Don't name drop.  I don't care if your second cousin taught Tony Bennett how to play guitar.  I don't care if you sing the blues with a bar band that everyone in Pissantia knows.  I've never been to Pissantia, and I suggest you don't either.  That's my two cents for today.

I'm getting a little tired of noisy vehicles.  I live on a street where 2 buses going either way pass by at the beginning of each hour during the week.  There is a wealth of big pickup truck driving people in PodCastro Valley that roar by and shake my windows constantly.  If I'm standing outside trying to have a conversation I get drowned out by gas guzzling monstrosities.  Enough about air pollution.  I say let's combat noise pollution!  Damn I'm old.

Today we hear from Madame Rootabega, Valentino, and Bison Bentley, PLUS it's the return of the much loved segment INTO AN INTERVIEW where I speak with the fascinating WASHINGTON singer/songwriter KYE ALFRED HILLIG!

Tomorrow I'll have PART 2 of my INTO AN INTERVIEW with KYE ALFRED HILLIG, plus we'll hear from Chely Shoehart, Floyd the Floorman, and John Deer the Engineer!

Check out Kye's new album here http://KyeAlfredHillig.bandcamp.com

MIKE's DAILY PODCAST effizode 747


I must admit I've posted one or two pictures of myself on my podcast's website and my facebook (the name of which begs one to actually post their face from time to time).  I have not had any facial hair for over a year now, and PEOPLE STILL ARE SURPRISED when they see I've shaved it all off.  They have no excuse, they're my facebook friends.  They don't think I'm important enough to ever look at my timeline.  Or facebook has decided I don't post anything interesting enough to put into other people's news feeds.  Either way, I think I've wasted more than my quota of words over this subject and I'll just finish by writing...another Iceland volcano.  Wow.

Today we hear from Benita, the Disgruntled Fiddle Player, and the Brewmaster, PLUS it's the return of the much loved segment NEWS RANDOM where we look at some recent interesting stories from the world of SCIENCE!

Next show, I will be speaking with an amazing singer and songwriter named KYE ALFRED HILLIG and we'll be hearing some new songs off his new album called THE BUDDHIST, plus we'll hear from Madame Rootabega, Valentino, and Bison Bentley!

The bed shook a little last night.  That's all I remember of the Napa Earthquake this morning.  My dog, Basil the Boxer, didn't even move.  Yeah, we were lucky.  That was a pretty big earthquake.  Not so lucky are the fans of Doctor Who as today we wander about scratching our heads wondering what we saw last night.  What a horrible debut!  We talk more about it on today's show.

Today we hear from Chely Shoehart, Floyd the Floorman, and John Deer the Engineer, PLUS it's the return of the feature we haven't had for awhile called MIKE ON MOBILE where I'll be talking to an interesting guest in an interesting location!

Tomorrow it's the return of the much loved segment NEWS RANDOM where we'll look at some recent fascinating stories from the world of SCIENCE!  Plus we hear from Benita, the Disgruntled Fiddle Player, and the Brewmaster!

Puff-uppies.  What are they?  They are specifically white males in their 40's who have put on a noticeable amount of weight since their younger days yet they still seem to get acting work.  Not that I have remained svelte since my high school days.  There's a picture of me with a full head of hair and a thin frame that has made the rounds on facebook that I know screams bygone era. Anyway, you gotta love puff-uppies.  Next on the list to love, baldies.  Baldies, okay.  Skinheads, no.

Today we hear from Madame Rootabega, Valentino, and Bison Bentley, PLUS it's the return of the much loved feature WOW SCHATZ WOW where we look at some surprising stories from the world of HEALTH!

Next show I'll have a very interesting interview with a woman who does something for a living that will fascinate you, and I will do the interview from an extraordinary spot on the globe.  It's all part of the segment called MIKE ON MOBILE!  Plus we'll hear from Chely Shoehart, Floyd the Floorman, and John Deer the Engineer!

I had two tacos from Jack in the Box today.  It was the last of a free gift certificates I got from going to a San Jose Earthquakes soccer game a couple weeks ago.  They scored a couple times in the last part of the game so they give out these certificates when that happens.  It made me wonder, Why the hell do they call a hamburger fast food place Jack in the Box?  The answer may surprise you.  Or not.  All will be revealed on this show, but please keep the ice buckets away.  There's a drought going on.

Today we hear from Benita, the Disgruntled Fiddle Player, and the Brewmaster, PLUS it's the FINALE of my INTO AN INTERVIEW with the San Francisco band THICK RED WINE!

People are so dang strange.  I'm walking Basil the Boxer today and he decides to lay down next to a nice lady who said hi and wanted to pet him.  A guy walks out of the building she was sitting next to and the lady says, "Look at this sweet dog who's decided to lay down next to me."  The man then looked like his family had just been killed in the the London Blitz by the Nazi's in 1940 (sorry, I've been watching lots of Foyle's War lately).  What the hell was his problem?

Today we hear from Chely Shoehart, Floyd the Floorman, and John Deer the Engineer!  Plus it's PART 3 of my INTO AN INTERVIEW with the band THICK RED WINE!

Giving blood.  I have not had the best experiences doing it.  Today was an example of that.  Of course, giving four vials may have had something to do with it.  That and not having eaten in 12 hours.  In any case I didn't pass out but came very close with all the sweating one would see Howie Mandel do in a room full of unwashed hands reaching out to shake.

Or...
I had a splendid time camping with Robert Owen Welsh of WELSH ON THE WORLD this past weekend.  His parents are simply wonderful and we had fun letting the dogs run on the beach even though Bodega Bay has a strict "no dog on beach" policy.  What's with all the rules, California?  Are we teetering that close to chaos that we have to put up signs, signs, everywhere a sign?  And fines, fines, oh my god the fines!  287 dollars as I have mentioned before for having a dog off leash here in the East Bay!  I went to court and fought it and BOTH POLICE OFFICERS showed up to defend the ticket.  Is that what we're all about California?  Are we like Republicans after all?  The party of "no".  Are we the state of "no"?

Today we hear from Benita, the Disgruntled Fiddle Player, and the Brewmaster, PLUS it's the return of the feature INTO AN INTERVIEW where I'll speak with Mike from the SAN FRANCISCO band called THICK RED WINE!

Tomorrow I'll bring you part 2 of my INTO AN INTERVIEW with THICK RED WINE, plus we'll hear from Madame Rootabega, Valentino, and Bison Bentley!
