Blue dynosaur piniata from the folks at Catfish Show podcast

What I'm listening to these days....

Here's what's in my podcatcher.... That pants size plus is what the old "Deranged Moose" site points to now. I still have a few of the old episodes stashed away, so I'm not going to delete it.

Public Radio Talent Quest wants me???

Today I got the email below... Jake baby, where did you get my name and why do you think I'm interested? Have you heard my voice??? I'm kind of nasally and I have a nervous giggle. And we won't even talk about my accent. Still. Have your people call my people...

Guttenbitch is now a video and I love it!

Tim Coyne has taken his rap song Guttenbitch to a new level and turned it into a video... if you liked the tune, you'll love the video.

and if you want to hear the whole funny story, listen to the Hollywood Podcast episode that kicked this whole thing off...

Hollywood Podcast episode Guttenberg Attacks

One of my favorite podcasts is Missing in Action

I noticed that iTunes changed the heading of the name for Deranged Moose to "pants plus size". Huh?! So I went to www.derangedmoose.com and read the following:

Looking for the Deranged Moose? The Moose has wandered off into the mountains for a while. Moose will do that.

Bummer. Roger Gillies would wander in the woods, walking his dog, Bob (and more recently, his new dog whose name I can't recall right now) and share his stories, musings and great descriptions of the the beauties of the Yukon. I loved his recent awe of the northern lights that shimmered overhead.

I hope this is just a break and not the end of his show. But I fear this is not the case. And what's with the pants size plus bit?

The Catfish Show, September FotM

I make a guest appearance on the Catfish Show!

Have a listen at:

Or just go to www.catfishshow.com, show number 112. Don't add the word "the" or you end up at some NASCAR blog!

I think this counts towards my 15 minutes of fame.

Lyrics to Guttenbitch

Tim Coyne of the Hollywood Podcast sings a hilarious rap he wrote and dedicated to Steve Guttenberg... Listen to it here: http://media.libsyn.com/media/hollywoodpodcast/Guttenbitch.mp3

The entire show is here:

I just had to transcribe the lyrics, so that I would catch them all. (Update - see the comments, where Tim Coyne corrects my transcription -- it's even funnier than I thought!)

There was one spot where I just wasn't sure what he was saying (see the ???), so if you understood what he said, leave me a comment please and I'll correct it.

Guttenbitch

It's payback time...Guttenbitch.

You called my girl, I know, she told me so.
She's hot, I know, but she's not a ho.

Cocoon, Data, 3 Men and a Baby.
Simple, Bitch! Steer clear of my lady!

See, I heard your message, I heard your words,
But I got game like Larry Bird!
Seen your movies, guilty pleasures
Get out the ruler, common, let's measure.

Got 2 wheels, instead of four.
Got no bed, I got no door,
Come from the place that gave you Bobby Orr.
I'm 34 and I sleep on the floor.

This's oh six, not 19-86
This aint the movie set
of one of your cheesy flicks.
Like a ninja taken down in a street fight,Cocoon 3 aint getting a green light!
Short circuit ,that's how your hung.I'll kick your ass with my fu kung(??)
2 hits, I hit you, you hit the floor!
My sugar doll is not a whore.

Got two wheels, instead of four.
Got no bed, I got no door.
I'm like a lion, hear me roar!
I'm 34, and I sleep floor.
(repeat)

Hey Steve, P.S. your career's dead!
That girl you called, she swallows when she gives me head.

I made a plan on New Years Eve:
Get a girl,
not a Steve.

I'm drawing the line, you cross it your fined.
Bend you over, break you from behind.
Face it, you hit the empty water.
You're done! Short circuit 3 aint gonna be!

Got 2 wheels, instead of four,
Got no bed, I got no door,
I aint rich, I'm fucking poor.
34 and I sleep on the floor.

Got 2 wheels, instead of four
Got no bed, got no door
Come from the place that gave you Bobby Orr
I'm 34 and I sleep on the floor.

I'm Tim Coyne, You fuck with me, you're fuckin' with the best.
