Mike Schmidt's Podcast, "The 40 Year Old Boy"...

[Mr. Blonde]

Nice digs; still has that new paint smell too. An improvement that feels like home. Aahhh, change...

New episode of "The 40 Year Old Boy" podcast now available to fans and foes alike. This week, find out which member of the cast of "Superbad" almost got some serious McLovin from your pal Mike. The episode is available at many fashionable internet outposts: http://www.mikeschmidtcomedy.com, for one. http://www.Myspace.com/mikeschmidtcomedy works as well. iTunes is another supporter/carrier of the show, and all of you regretful Zune users can get the show here: http://www.switchpod.com/users/mikeschmidt/feed.xml.

Download 'em all and trade with your friends.

Also, if you aren't already heading out to the Austin vs. Chicago blowout at Garage Comedy this Monday, why not head over to the Quentin Tarantino burlesque tribute show I'm hosting? It's the Monday Night Tease at the 3 Clubs Cocktail Lounge, 1123 N. Vine in Hollywood. We might not have Dragon Boy Suede, but we will have Dizzy Von Damn. She's not as funny, but she certainly looks better in a G-string.

This was awesome Mike! And by the way; all of us have enough time for your hour long yarns.

[ArtsyMcShitshimself]

Yea, I will take Mike Schmidt yarns in any length he should choose. iTunes remembers where I left off and I can enjoy them whenever I want. Longer shows just means more shit to make me laugh.

[darrylduffy]

semi-related, from Bob Lefsetz's newsletter, re: Coldplay at the Forum on Monday:

"I'm hanging with the manager of Depeche Mode. I'm telling him they should play the Super Bowl. How it's a perfect fit. They've got the audience and the NFL needs the edge. And Rick Rubin appears. And then Kanye. And then Jonah Hill. He and Kanye high five. It's like the cliche...does everybody in showbiz know each other?"

[Mr. Blonde]

New episode of "The 40 Year Old Boy" podcast now sitting next to you, reading whatever you're reading over your shoulder. This week we'll learn about Happy Lili, and why 10 year old Mike owes minorities a big apology. The episode is available at all of the places you love: http://www.Mikeschmidtcomedy.com and http://www.Myspace.com/mikeschmidtcomedy carry the streaming episode, while iTunes is the place to go for subscribing. Zune users can get the show here: http://www.switchpod.com/users/mikeschmidt/feed.xml. Hopefully you can hear the show over the sound of your technology becoming obsolete.

By the way, you can head over to http://www.comedyfilmnerds.com for my latest column; it's not up yet, as I didn't send it over until 2:00 AM. I'm sure it will be up sometime today...that is, unless they hear this week's show and cut me loose. Always a possibility these days.

Is it weird that I go read every incarnation of your podcast plugs? I just find it kind of interesting that you actually take the time to write each one seperately instead of a couple of copy+pastes.

Awww my cock is gone; Dark Knight tomorrow! My cock is gone; Dark Knight tomorrow! My cock is gone; Dark Knight tomorrow! Mike, you make Thursdays better.

Here's that clip Mike talked about this week, and it's even better than described:

I'm just now getting in to this and I LOVE IT! Great job Mike

[Mr. Blonde]

New episode of “The 40 Year Old Boy” podcast now test driving cars it has no intention of buying. This week we learn the hazards of the public restroom, as well as the benefits of finding your true significant other. We also learn a little about sharing, and there’s a recipe for Pad Thai that I’ve been dying to get out there included as well. All in all, a jam-packed show; now, let’s check with Melina for today’s forecast…

You know the drill: http://www.mikeschmidtcomedy.com, http://www.myspace.com/mikeschmidtcomedy, subscribe in iTunes. Zune users can head here: http://store.apple.com/us?cid=OAS-US-KWG-AppleBrandName-US. Oh wait, I mean here: http://www.switchpod.com/users/mikeschmidt/feed.xml.

Subtle, eh?

http://www.Comedyfilmnerds.com also beckons; shoot over and let Graham Elwood palm strike you with the written word.

Hey Mike, I really like the show. Great stuff.

OK, we have plenty of Darryl's now! Where's Larry?

[punkdc]

Hey guys, I know its trendy but I started a fan club for Mike Schmidt and his podcast over on facebook. Check it out here:http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=24578221790&ref=ts Please invite friends and lets try and bump up Mikes iTunes ratings.

[DiggityDawg]

Highlight of this episode for me : the pronunciation of the Latino "Joker". Awesome.

[Meen Bellpeppers]

Kevin, calm down.

[Mr. Blonde]

New episode of "The 40 Year Old Boy" now trying to empty it's Tivo cache in order to tape the MLB Trade Deadline special on ESPN News. This week deals with earthquake preparedness, and why nothing of the sort exists. You'll also hear about squab, quail and pork belly, but in what context? You'll have to get to downloadin' to find out...

Episodes always streaming at http://www.mikeschmidtcomedy.com and http://www.myspace.com/mikeschmidtcomedy, while subscriptions are available through iTunes. Take your Zune to http://www.switchpod.com/users/mikeschmidt/feed.xml, fill it with ramblings, then take that same Zune to the Rose Bowl on Sunday and sell it for $4.00. You'll actually be coming out ahead.

http://www.Comedyfilmnerds.com is also still up and running, despite my better efforts; go check out the only favorable review in existence of the new X-Files film. The truth is out there, and being fudged.

I leave for Vegas for a couple of weeks and now I'm behind on my 40yob. Sigh.

[Mr. Blonde]

New episode of "The 40 Year Old Boy" now recommending against Trader Joe's for your produce needs; seriously, bananas are supposed to last a little longer than two days, right? I don't care if they are more expensive at Ralph's, I'll be goddamned if I'm gonna throw away another bunch of brown bananas. DO YOU HEAR ME, TRADER JOE? I'M GOING BELUSHI IN "THE PRINCIPAL": NO MORE!!!!!

Ahem.

This week we learn why it's a good thing I didn't plug my Tiger Lily appearance last week, and what John Mellencamp didn't play at the Greek. As always, episodes are streaming at http://www.mikeschmidtcomedy.com and http://www.myspace.com/mikeschmidtcomedy, while subscriptions are available through iTunes. Zuneophiles can take a day trip to http://www.switchpod.com/users/mikeschmidt/feed.xml, where you can dip your Zune in the cooling stream and load up for the long, hot walk ahead. To where, you might ask? Why, to the Apple Store, of course. Some of you aren't paying attention.

http://www.Comedyfilmnerds.com is also still setting the Internet on fire; hopefully I'll have something new up this week. Here's the review I wrote for "Step Brothers" that didn't make the site: Why, Will? Why? They thought the second "why" was a bit much.

[Mr. Blonde]

New episode of "The 40 Year Old Boy" now finally caught up on "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report". As great as those shows are, watching eight of each in a day is a little much. Now, Nation, let's get to the plugs: here it is, your moment of 40 Year Old Zen...

This week we delve into late-night television and past night's rendezvous'. It's interesting; I tell these stories from my life thinking everyone must relate, everyone has had weird stuff happen to them, then I get letters from people who act like they've just listened to a car accident. I'm sure this week will be no exception, but let's all try to get through this together, shall we?

As always, episodes are streaming at http://www.mikeschmidtcomedy.com and http://www.myspace.com/mikeschmidtcomedy, while subscriptions are available through iTunes. Have you heard about http://www.switchpod.com/users/mikeschmidt/feed.xml? It's where all the cool kids are going to get the show for their Zunes. I'm kidding; we all know none of the cool kids own Zunes...unless it's ironically, of course.

Visit http://www.Comedyfilmnerds.com sometime this weekend for my exclusive review of "Tropic Thunder". Come see if the word "cantankerous" makes an appearance.

i kinda like necco wafers. someone back me up, it would be the first time.

[Gene George]

i kinda like necco wafers. someone back me up, it would be the first time.

Never had them, but sure. I got yer back.

[Jixby Phillips]

The concept of "anti-fun" night cracked me up. I loved the story of getting blown. Mike you are heck of funny, thanks a lot.

[Mr. Blonde]

New episode of “The 40 Year Old Boy” now amazed that people are surprised Mark Spitz said he would race Michael Phelps to a draw. Look, professional athletes are like guys talking about getting laid: they are never out of their league, and never willing to concede defeat. They always feel they have a shot. In fact, if Spitz were being honest, he would admit that he thinks he’s got a shot to beat Phelps now. Oh, and by the way, its swimming-can we all calm down? These guys are “Marco” and “Polo” away from playing hide and seek.

This week we learn how to not do your job and how to REALLY not do your job. Episodes are always streaming at http://www.mikeschmidtcomedy.com and http://www.myspace.com/mikeschmidtcomedy, or you can subscribe through iTunes, the miracle of the modern age. Those who own a Zune-the bane of the modern age’s existence-can use http://www.switchpod.com/users/mikeschmidt/feed.xml to get the episode. While you’re there, tell the Switchpod folks I said hello. We’ve never met, but tell them I’m the guy responsible for sending all these strangers over. I’ll bet they know who you’re talking about then.

http://www.Comedyfilmnerds.com is also still doing great things. Live show September 5 at the UCB; make your reservations now. No, seriously, right now. I’m waiting. Have I mentioned Kashian, Elwood, Hardwick and Bamford? Oh, NOW you realize what “now” means...

[ragu sauce]

the 7-11 story is the best. holy shit.

[Jixby Phillips]

Yes I agree, I wish to god I could see the tape.

I would see a movie based on the life of Mike Schmidt. "THE FORTY YEAR OLD MOVIE"

[Dr. Feelgood]

Whoa, this is the best podcast in a while. Didn't even mind Mike's self-maligned breakfast story.

[darrylduffy]

goddamn the 2nd half (7-11) more than makes up for the first half. loved it.

ps: cameron & tyler winklevoss are the same guys that hired mark zuckerberg (facebook) to make connectU and then tried to sue him.

[punkdc]

Best one yet. Hands down.

[badassfunk]

Jesus, I haven't laughed that hard in a while. Mike's 7-11 story is downright hilarious. I couldn't help but think of the Kids in the Hall sketch "The Convenience Store Worker", when Mike was describing how he was rocking out to his "suitcase of cassettes" on the security cam.

[Gene George]

I was made hungry for waffles at first. Then I laughed. It was a perfect ep.

I was thinking of the same thing.

That story was fucking PRICELESS, Schmidtty.

[Mr. Blonde]

New episode of "The 40 Year Old Boy" now wondering why none of the hipsters enjoyed "Hamlet 2". This week we make everyone uncomfortable with tales of making out, as well as try to figure out if wearing heavy makeup detracts from your angry outbursts. I'll answer that last one: it does.

Episodes are always streaming at http://www.mikeschmidtcomedy.com and http://www.myspace.com/mikeschmidtcomedy. iPodders can subscribe in iTunes, while Zuners can visit this feed address: http://www.switchpod.com/users/mikeschmidt/feed.xml. Here's where I usually throw a blind right hook at the Zune user, but I'm taking the week off from bashing for Labor Day. In seven days, however, all bets are off.

Remember that http://www.comedyfilmnerds.com is puttin' on a live show at the UCB Theater Friday, September 5th. Bamford, Hardwick, Kashian, Elwood, Mancini-the Five Fists of Funny, all in one place at one time. I'll be there as well, but the Six Shoes of Funny didn't sound nearly as cool.

How about YOU get me a fork? Great show Mike!

[Mr. Blonde]

New episode of "The 40 Year Old Boy" now hoping this week's Enquirer is right. This week explores the world of auditions, and what Hollywood thinks of our hero. "Our Hero" is me, by the way, but I'm sure you already knew that. My constant heroic actions were probably the tipoff...well, that and the time I flew around the globe really fast in order to save Lois Lane's life. The Margot Kidder Lois Lane, not the Kate Bosworth Lois Lane. The Bosworth Lane can't stop breathing fast enough for me.

Streaming episodes at http://www.mikeschmidtcomedy.com and http://www.myspace.com/mikeschmidtcomedy, subscriptions available at iTunes. Zune users can get the show at http://www.switchpod.com/users/mikeschmidt/feed.xml; download it this instant and immediately double your Zune's value.

Fans of live comedy should mark this Friday, September 5th on their calendars, as http://www.comedyfilmnerds.com is putting on a show at the UCB Theater in Los Angeles. Crazy funny people and film clips will abound, not unlike fine ham. Show starts at 8:00, laughter starts at 8:01, tears and muttering begin as soon as the show ends.

I'm coming to the show Schmidt, I'm bringing my wife and there's not a goddamn thing you can do about it. Whaddaya think of THEM apples pally?

[punkdc]

Mike, what the show iCarly?

[Shane]

information Carly?

[Mr. Blonde]

Yep, it was iCarly. So much quality on Nick it's hard to keep the titles straight.

[punkdc]

Yep, it was iCarly. So much quality on Nick it's hard to keep the titles straight.

When you said Nick I was super excited, when you said live action I got super sad. Who knows, maybe Cartoon Network will throw something your way.

[Mr. Blonde]

New episode of “The 40 Year Old Boy” now wondering how it would look with a neckbeard. This week explores the limits of my stomach pre-surgery, and my constant testing of those limits. Now, this post is only valid if Switchpod decides to stop cutting off the last six minutes of the show while uploading. Lili’s working on it as we speak…or as I type…or as you read. Any of those options work; let’s hope the uploading works as well. By the way, I know the title of this week's show looks like a typo, but in addition to its new editing skills, Switchpod is also refusing to recognize apostrophes. And yes, I want to murder Switchpod. If only it were a living entity I would take great pleasure in punching it in its formerly electronic face.

The episode is always streaming at http://www.mikeschmidtcomedy.com and http://www.myspace.com/mikeschmidtcomedy, or you can subscribe through iTunes for the utmost in convenience. http://www.switchpod.com/users/mikeschmidt/feed.xml is where you Zune owners want to be…well, there or a Zune repair shop, as I understand that some of those little buggers have been releasing poison gas. It’s a weird glitch, but I’m sure Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld are working on it. Churro, anyone?

Blooper video entertaining on it's own, but the third one at about 0:22 pulls the "Mike Shit" bloop, talking about a baseball card of player Mike Schmidt (I think).

To be fair it's not in 4th grade.

[Famous Police Dog]

The pie story is my favorite story yet!

[Mr. Blonde]

New episode of "The 40 Year Old Boy" now trying to figure out why, no matter how hard it tries, it can't seem to figure anything out. This week finds decrees being issued, drummers being beaten and celebrities eating in public. Next week will probably feature celebrities issuing decrees about eating drummers in public, then being beaten, but don't hold me to that.

Episodes are always streaming at http://www.mikeschmidtcomedy.com and http://www.myspace.com/mikeschmidtcomedy. Zune users can take a break from sending me hate mail and go here: http://www.switchpod.com/users/mikeschmidt/feed.xml. iPod people can subscribe in iTunes, then leave a glowing review about how my show is in the top five podcasts that don't feature a gay co-host...which of course means I'm barely in the top one thousand overall.

[punkdc]

I cried...literally cried (and got kicked out of the library) this week. The video game story was the best.

[ragu sauce]

a friend and i used to play a game for the nintendo 64 called WCW/NWO revenge. back when videogames had carts instead of discs, all of the data from previous plays was just saved on the cart itself instead of a memory card. so, if you rented it from a store, some other guy's saves were on it. every character's name was changed, but the only one i really remember was this wrestler named ming lee changed to "CUM OF SUM YUNG♂". when he bought the game, we changed it to that out of tradition, even though we didn't figure out what it meant until later.

[Pat Francis]

I still take Eric Singer as my drummer!

Will John Drummer be your singer?

[ProfessorShutYoMouth]

Chuck Liddell gets RFK'd:

Chuck Liddell gets RFK'd:



You CAN hear the Rock 'em Sock 'em Robot sound. Ewwww.

I'm pretty sure Sirhan Sirhan didn't do the Fred Sanford "Elizabeth I'm Comin' To Join You" fake heart-attack after he shot RFK though.

[DiggityDawg]

As funny as the concept of being "RFK'd" is, I was thinking - shouldn't it have been "RFKO'd"?

[Pat Francis]

I take Brian May as my guitarist!

[Gene George]

I take Brian May as my guitarist!



You may.

(all I keep thinking of is PIKACHU! I choose YOU!)

[Pat Francis]

I take John Entwistle as my bass player.

http://wwwimage.cbsnews.com/images/2002/06/27/image513665x.jpg

[Darryl]

As soon as I heard the "ultimate band" challenge, I couldn't stop thinking about it! Great idea. And you'll be able to pull this off right?

At this point I know I'd have David Gilmour on lead guitar, and probably The Edge on rhythm, or whatever it is he does. Freddie Mercury on lead vocals. Bass and drums are tough for me to pick, but if I had six slots I'd have to have the recently deceased Richard Wright on keyboards. (Huge loss, that.)

I do like Larry Mullen (Jr., not the old man) on drums, but don't want the band too U2-heavy. So I'll have to ponder drums and bass some more...

[Scammy Davis Boogah Jr.]

I'll take 'that guy who plays the theramin' on theramin.

Kim Deal on Bass, Stephen Perkins on Drums, Bob Mould on guitar, Bob Moog on keyboards, and oh what the hell Frank Zappa singing.

[Gene George]

I dunno jack-shit about much music, but I would have John Phillip Sousa on Sousaphone in my band.

[Darryl]

Guy Pratt on bass!

Sorry. Finally thought of my bass player.

[Bucky_Sinister]

I love this podcast. Don't know if I've posted about it yet.

I listened to 26 while in the dentist's chair today. Without getting too graphic, I was in a very painful and horrible moment when the part about the old lady's farts came up. The farts from the Depression. So funny, I was laughing as much as I could with someone else's fingers in my mouth, and an Inquisition-style tool making an unbearable noise that I could hear echoing through every bone in my head.

I felt like the masochist in Little Shop of Horrors.

Thanks for the distraction, Mr. Schmidt. Hope I spelled your name right.

[Mr. Blonde]

New episode of "The 40 Year Old Boy" now suspending its campaign to focus on our current financial crisis. This week brings more tales of a misspent youth, with a little gay mafia and Rose McGowan thrown in for good measure. And yes, I really should start having a plan for these episodes.

The show is always streaming at http://www.mikeschmidtcomedy.com and http://www.myspace.com/mikeschmidtcomedy. iPod users, you should consider subscribing in iTunes. Zune users, you should consider purchasing an iPod. If you've earmarked all of your cash for a personal bridge to nowhere, however, then just go ahead and get the Zune feed here: http://www.switchpod.com/users/mikeschmidt/feed.xml. And now I'm off to listen to the new Kings Of Leon, so don't call me for at least an hour.

[Mr. Blonde]

New episode of "The 40 Year Old Boy" now letting everyone know Hanrahan's wife is a dyke. This week we deal with health care, Hitler and horribly inefficient customer service. A hint: the horribly inefficient customer service comes from Hitler. He worked at an A&P before the Holocaust.

Epsiodes of the show are always streaming at http://www.mikeschmidtcomedy.com and http://www.myspace.com/mikeschmidtcomedy. Subscribing in iTunes is a breeze, while Zune users can go here: http://www.switchpod.com/users/mikeschmidt/feed.xml. Normally, this is where I'd kick the Zune in the balls, but I decided to do it on the actual show this week. I'd much rather talk than type.

[Bobaganoosh]

Am I not supposed to be cleaning my ears with Q-tips? I've never heard this. I don't like the idea of irrigating my ears, but I would like to avoid Mike's hospital experience. Also, Mike's Thrifty Rental experience. Also, most of Mike's experiences.

[Gene George]

Hot clown: I dunno what it is exacly but the chick ends up with a big red nose at the end.

[punkdc]

Thanks Mike for the Electric 6 recommendation. Bought gay bar and loved it. As for the ear thing, by using q-tips into your ear it pushes more wax deeper into the canal. Doctors recommend that when you shower, you let it get into your year to break it up and then you clean it out after.

(Damn you pre-med degree!)

[Spraynard]

My doctor told me to fill my ears with olive oil.

(Damn you pre-med degree!)
If you like the song Gay Bar you should really check out more of the Fire album. Danger! High Voltage is definitely in the same vein as Gay Bar. Dance Commander, Vengeance and Fashion, Electric Demons in Love, Improper Dancing, and Synthesizer are really fun from that album too. The band took a huge nose dive after that and the following two albums were mostly miss though the song ‘I Buy the Drugs’ is probably my favorite song of theirs. But, I only write this since they are a very hit or miss kind of band since all the songs are so different.

The Scissor Sisters are another fun, stupid sorta electronica band in the realm of Electric Six.

To keep it on topic: I really love this podcast. It’s amazing that Mike is able to make pretty innocuous stories into fun stories and also mix in some of the most amazingly awesome, ridiculous and hilarious stories from his past as well. All the honesty is really cool too.

The show definitely needs more MMA talk though. The Chuck Liddell/Kennedy stuff was probably my favorite tangent of the show’s history. (That's probably not a popular opinion though.)

[Mr. Blonde]

New episode of "The 40 Year Old Boy" podcast now reminding you that it might not answer your questions they way you want it to, but it's gonna talk straight to the American people. Wink.

This week finds us in Bolingbrook, Heaven and Denny's...although the Denny's is in Bolingbrook, so that's kind of a cheat. Episodes are always streaming at http://www.mikeschmidtcomedy.com and http://www.myspace.com/mikeschmidtcomedy. http://www.switchpod.com/users/mikeschmidt/feed.xml is the feed all Zuners should rent a plane to skywrite. Subscribing in iTunes requires no such drastic measures, but it wouldn't hurt you to hire a plane as well. Have it pull a banner or something, I don't know. What am I, the plane idea guy?

http://comedyfilmnerds.com features some new stuff from me this week; why not go see how smart I am?

Oh my god, so good. Midget thing made me collapse at the sink of a public bathroom.

[Mr. Blonde]

New episode of "The 40 Year Old Boy" now dumping champagne on a reporter's head at Dodger Stadium. This week finds us quarantined, then publicly ridiculed, though not necessarily for the same reasons. Episodes are always streaming at http://www.mikeschmidtcomedy.com and http://www.myspace.com/mikeschmidtcomedy. Zuners can fill up on "40" here: http://www.switchpod.com/users/mikeschmidt/feed.xml. iPodders can go to iTunes and bask in the glow of the internet's premium music delivery service; suck it, Hulu! Wait, is Hulu for music? Who cares, it's a stupid name-suck it Hulu!

In addition to podcast fun, this week you can come see me at the Monday Night Tease burlesque show; info. available at http://mondaynighttease.com. New column up at http://comedyfilmnerds.com as well; while it has nothing to do with burlesque, I do use the phrase "hot minority women". That's good for a read, right?

[Mr. Blonde]

New episode of "The 40 Year Old Boy" now wondering how he'd go over in London. This week we hit the road...well, we talk about when we hit the road in the past, and all the girls we've loved before. Actually not all the girls, just enough to fill up an hour or so.

Episodes are always streaming at http://www.mikeschmidtcomedy.com and http://www.myspace.com/mikeschmidtcomedy. Zuners can stubbornly continue to defy the odds here: http://www.switchpod.com/users/mikeschmidt/feed.xml. Those with a mature adult's MP3 player can subscribe in iTunes. Go strike a blow for...aww, who am I kidding? Go be a sheep like the rest of us. A sheep who can bring their entire music collection wherever they may go, but a sheep nonetheless.

http://comedyfilmnerds.com is still daring you to stop by. I'll have a piece about horror movies up this week; come see if it's different than the forty million other horror movie columns on the Internet.

[Mr. Blonde]

New episode of "The 40 Year Old Boy" now wondering if he's lost this demographic. This week features more whinging about the Phillies; recent events, however, will probably result in the tabling of that topic for at least six months.

Episodes are always streaming at http://www.mikeschmidtcomedy.com and http://www.myspace.com/mikeschmidtcomedy. Zuners should head here: http://www.switchpod.com/users/mikeschmidt/feed.xml.

New episode of "The 40 Year Old Boy" now trying to get used to his new computer, the confusion forcing him to post a day late. This week we deal with stretching chickens, armed 12-year olds and the level of difficulty presented by mass murder in a donut shop. Ah, the perils of not having a prepared set of remarks...

New episode of "The 40 Year Old Boy" now saying its been nine days, just when exactly is Obama going to solve everything? This week brings missives from amorous postal workers, and thinks about heading to China. I heard their wall is great, but I'll judge for myself thank you very much.

New episode of "The 40 Year Old Boy" podcast now staying up way too late before driving four hours in the morning. This week we talk about past holidays and monster rockers. I also forgot to convey this on the episode, but in the spirit of Thanksgiving let me thank all of you who listen to the show; I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. Seriously, I can't tell you; it would embarrass both of us, even more so than my talking about my cock all the time does. Enjoy your drumsticks tomorrow.

Great Lordi-filled episode Mike.

I sheepishly have to admit that I had Stolen Babies on my hard drive and completely forgot that I bought it in a fevered dream from iTunes months ago. I gave them another listen after the podcast and they weren't bad in a dark cabaret way, but I can't see their kind of shtick ever winning over a Lordi audience.

Sadly, they are on the same record label, so I bet they put the tour together.

There: you now know more about Stolen Babies touring with Lordi than you ever needed to know.

[punkdc]

Mike, did you check Stolen Babies play count before your podcast got posted? Because I wanna find out how many of your listeners went to check them out after you mentioned them. I did.

[Hobokamp]

I know they got at least two youtube hits from me during the podcast as I checked out some of their videos.

What I'm saying is Schmidty deserves some payola from these Babies.

New episode of "The 40 Year Old Boy" podcast now wondering what the Jen Kirkman comment in this thread meant. This week we deal with sharp soap and the level of commitment it takes to wreak havoc. Let's just say that my career as a terrorist is on temporary hold.

Not sure if it's been announced yet, but I think I'm at Comedy Death Ray next Tuesday as part of the annual "Halftime Comedy Show"; as always I'll be joined by Howard Kremer, Joe Wagner and the Coach, Eddie Pepitone. Plenty of comics on the bill as well; make sure you check here on the show page, or head over to http://www.ucbtheater.com for all the info.

40 year old boy was the only podcast that I listen to regularly (apart from Bill Simmons) that didn't have Jen Kirkman as a guest last week.

That's it, nothing more sinister than that.

[TacoSmith]

I haven't posted in this thread yet, but I just wanted to go on the record as saying I've been down with this podcast since the beginning and I love it. Mike is one of the best storytellers I've ever heard. END STATEMENT.

[Mr. Blonde]

New episode of "The 40 Year Old Boy" now wondering what Jen Kirkman and Bill Simmons would talk about; this week we do some dirty deeds and marvel at standup brilliance. I will now light myself on fire; sit Dooze!

Forgot to mention on the show that I did an episode of the "Battleship Pretension" podcast this past week; thanks to David and Tyler for having me.

I love it how Mike said: "I've told you about this emergency room two times so there's nothing else to tell you." And then proceeds to tell about the drunk person who got sedated.

I was watching the Boise State-TCU Pointsettia Bowl game last night and one of the analysts sounded familiar. At first I thought it sounded like a friend of a friend, but I couldn't place who it was. At the end of the telecast I learned that the ESPN analyst I was hearing is named Mark May. I went to bed still wondering who he sounded like.

It finally hit me this morning. This guy sounded exactly like Mike Schmidt. Very similar voice and almost the exact same cadence to his speech, etc. Anyone else notice this?

Here's (http://sports.espn.go.com/broadband/video/videopage?videoId=3753123) a video that includes him analyzing the upcoming Rose Bowl. I'm sure there's more stuff on YouTube, but I can't access it from work.

[punkdc]

I really noticed it in the cadence, not so much on the voice though. Maybe he can be included in the next CDR Half Time show.

[Turducken]

Mike can't like being compared to an original member of The Hogs. I would edit your post to say he sounds like Jimbo Covert or maybe Revie Sorey, Noah Jackson, or Dennis Lick (any excuse to talk about Bears linemen from the 70s and 80s).

Also, I was thinking of Mike Schmidt and his fondness for Darlene Love as she sang "It's Christmas(Baby Please Come Home) last night on Letterman. I couldn't find last nights performance, but here's the one from 2006 (2007 was the writers strike so no show).

EDIT/BUMP : If you're a fan of Mike & haven't checked this interview out yet, you're missin' out. Very entertaining, & it probably answers some questions about certain things you might be curious about.

I had it cut off at about the hour point, but hitting Play again started up where it left off and went to completion. Try again!

New episode of "The 40 Year Old Boy" now counting the days until he heads home, as twelve days is far too long to be anywhere. They say you can't go home again; you can, you just might not want to. Not for twelve days, anyway. Have I mentioned I'm home for twelve days? Tick tick tick...

This week's show is a little different, as I'm not sure what it contains; this is a Lili creation, and I can only hope she made me as funny as possible. It would be a shame to have to let her go; a real shame, it turns out, as without her there is no show. Can't imagine what I'd do with another free hour a week, although I'm sure it would involve bitching about the fact that I wasn't doing the show anymore.

The ending to the clip show was kind of touching where you thanked everyone that was part of your stories.

But, unfortunately you forgot about the kid that died and was the inspiration for bookmeforyourwake.com. I can't remember his name now.

[MattB]

my favorite clip was the one where Mike was sitting at the table with his headphones on, acting like a jackass.

[johnnyfashion]

Aha...thanks for the tip. About how much longer does it run?

About twenty minutes longer. Nothing earth-shattering.
