So fresh and so (un)clean

For the past few weeks I've had the opportunity to host a podcast show. Temporarily entitled "The Loafcast," it's a random rant of ideas from myself and co-host, co-webmaster, Aaron Karp. If you're not familiar with podcasting, it's simply a recorded mp3 file that can be played on your computer or portable device.

Some of the topics we've discussed so far have been: bacon (my favorite), the supreme court, huricanne Katrina, George "W" Bush, Fall movies and television, NASCAR and if Aaron has or doesn't have crabs. We're all over the place with topics, but as a test for producing more formatted programming for Creative Loafing Media, they're giving us a surprising amount of freedom to discuss things. We've had "some" comments for the higher-ups, but nothing "too" threatening.

I think the most scathing comment we received so far has been from my mother. After listening to the show she said, "you cuss too much and he (Aaron) talks to much." After the initial shock of my own mom saying I throw the "f" bomb around like a fundamentalist in the Ozarks, I couldn't help but tell my co-host. He just laughed, but to my surprise, he agreed with her.

I don't think I cuss too much. Granted, I have razor's wit about me that lends itself to profanity, but I mean, come on, me!? That's just fuck'n ridiculous. I cuss probably 20 percent of the time, which is pretty good for an African American man who's dealing with the oppressive plight of the my ilk. Just sayin'.
