We must have used up all our spontaneity and enthusiasm doing last week’s show 4 or 5 times, because this week we’re just not feeling it.Â But because we love you, the listeners, we soldiered on and filled 42 minutes with topics like…

A voicemail from Our Man Steve
Our Man Steve’s voicemail
Steve voicemail
A message from that guy
Beth’s new word word of the week: Wilfing – surfing the web aimlessly
Chuck is resurrecting the LandCruiser … again

This is the show so nice we recorded it three or four or maybe five times.Â The laptop kept crashing and we kept re-recording and it crashed again and we recorded again and…Â Everything on this show was discussed at least three times by the time you’re hearing it, which may have killed some of the freshness and spontaneity.Â But we soldiered on nonetheless and discussed:

Voicemails from CB, a psycho killer or tattletale on the K7 line, and Tim of For Whatever Reason
Beth’s New Word Word of the week: googleganger — when you google your own name and find your dopplegangers
The very cool upcoming audio drama Vestige from Steve C at the From The Edge podcast
Oreo doublestuft cookies
It’s HOT

…and much, much more.Â Some of it may have made the recording, or maybe not — we talked about it all so many times it’s hard to tell.Â That’s why we finally resorted to saving at random as we made The Egg Timer Show.

The first 8 minutes of Take 1 of this episode were sent to the cornfield when the laptop locked up, which made Chuck very, very angry. Which was funny, because it locked up while playing a new bumper Our Man Steve made for us called, oddly enough, Chuck Gets Angry. In calmer, happier, better medicated moments we also talked about:

The New Word Word of the Week: Gastrosexual
Chuck’s non-return to Two Buck Turn
Jamie’s Toothbrush
Retail Running Shoe Paranoia
Spider Season
Something Cool: the Annoy-a-tron

…and much, much more.Â So check it out while we practice Anger Management.

The Steve C voicemails we missed last time
Not one

Not three
Not four, but

Chuck starts patting himself on the back about how he’s finally got the audio nailed, and five minutes later all the sound cues go in the crapper. Chuck also tickles his tonsils with his toes at the end of the show with a backhanded compliment to the Jen and DAVe Show. All things considered, maybe this episode would have been better off being just Beth and Zoe. Safer topics discussed included:

Voicemails from The Man Behind The Man Behind The Show, aka Tim of For Whatever Reason, and bumper maestro Remodel Nerd
Emails from Edincat and listener Kory
Peaches and Tomato!
The evolution of texts from Zoe over two years
A visit from Zoe

To celebrate, we rambled on like we usually do, but then about halfway along we started talking about Father’s Day and it got all dark and not so happy-happy-joy-joy.Â But as Beth and you listeners like to say, it’s all about being a “slice of life, ” so we’re serving up some slices anyway of:

We’re recovering from our podfade pod coma by putting up another show just a week after the last one, but Beth insists that the actual show date is 2 years and 2 months in the future — because that’s how long we go between episodes. Also, Beth thinks Chuck should suffer in silence instead of complaining all the time about producing the show … and she’s probably right … but then what would we talk about?

We also got into…

Podfade vs. Pod Coma
Comments on the show’s blog page
Phone calls
Chuck’s continuing battles with technology

Bethâ€™s â€œpromotion with a pay cutâ€

…and we’re back. Sorry for the delay, kids. We had a technical glitch while recording the show that took Chuck about 10 minutes to fix, and then he rode that excuse for two weeks while he stalled on editing the show back together and posting it. So this show is a couple weeks old, but perhaps still piping hot fresh and relevant. Maybe.

It’s been a couple of weeks and I don’t remember everything we talked about, but it was something like:

We went to the firing range and Beth kicked ass with the Glock 23
We shaved our cat
Beth gives great directions as long as you don’t really need to get there
One of Chuck’s friends shares waaaay too much info about his sex life — with pictures
We played a lot of voicemail that wasn’t for us
Beth’s car is KIT from Knight Rider

…and we’re back. Here’s a little-known fact for you: One year and two months is the perfect amount of time to allow to pass between shows. We don’t know of this podfade of which you speak.

Topics tonight were typically all over the map:

This episode is dedicated to our favorite listener, Edin Cat. Everyone else — turn it off!
Chuck’s dad died in February; Chuck took a road trip to Colorado on his Harley in July to scatter the ashes – link to road trip pics at http://www.flickr.com/photos/lunchroom/sets/72157601069140106/
Beth still loves her job.
Scott Baio started some shit at a sushi bar. Chuck thought he was a bad-ass about it … until Zoe described it as a bitchy little slap-fest
Zoe’s starting a new school year at a new school
Chuck is motorcycle-centric
Beth had a big garden this year
Beth’s purse got stolen

…and much, much more. Check it out as we continue to deny deny deny that we suffered a Podfade? What Podfade?

…and we’re back.

Admittedly, two months is a little too long between shows, but we had a lot going on. Or maybe we were just lazy. Maybe both? Eh, who cares, we’re back now with a great new show for you. Topics tonight included:

Another new pet — Ebi the kitten
New motorcycles — Chuck finally has his Harley, and Beth now owns a Honda VLX!
Chuck’s new portable GPS navi system, an anniversary gift from Beth
Our potential move to Terra Ceia, FL
The sky is falling right here in in the No Soap Studios!
Project Runway is back!
Beth educates us all on the definition of “bosom”
Chuck follows up with definitions on “tittie” and “hooter” and settles on “foining” as a goal for a later activity

…and there was other stuff too, but it’ll be so much better if you listen and discover it for yourself. So check it out as we admit that Okay, Maybe It Was A Podfade.

Hey, we’re back. It’s been more than a month since our last episode, but we only get better with age. Or do we? Whatever, we’ve recorded a new episode, you’ve been looking for one to listen to, everybody’s happy. Move on, Sparky.

We covered a lot of ground tonight — it has been a month, after all, so we actually had stuff to talk about for a change — but some of the highlights are:

Beth hits Chuck with a low, low, low blow, so low that we actually went back and edited it out … but Chuck left her apology in.
Chuck gave Beth her Mother’s Day present mid-show, even though she had said something incredibly mean about him earlier.
We teased a new podcast we know you’re going to love from He Who Shall Not Be Named: El Guapo. Check out his new show, Membrane.
Beth coins a nickname for Starbucks fanatics: Buckies
Lots of Zoe stuff and scuba stuff and pet stuff and other stuff.

So check out out — we’re back on the air, so Don’t Call It A Podfade!

We’re back with a chill, low-energy No Soap tonight, and the low energy level is in effect while Chuck is typing up the show notes, too, which means there aren’t going to be many.

We talked about our upcoming trip to CuraÃ§ao, what we’re going to do in CuraÃ§ao, when we’re leaving for CuraÃ§ao, how long we’ll be in CuraÃ§ao, and we also talked about CuraÃ§ao. Because we have Island Fever. Bad.

Oh yeah, and we also talked about Weetapidol, which is an American Idol wrap-up/live-blog-the-show site by our friends Weetabix and Mopie and you should read it.

So check us out, we’ve got Island Fever.

WordPress 2.0 killed our feed and we apologize

Happy Birthday to us, we’re 30! Which means, of course, that now none of the younger podcasts trust us anymore. Whatever. Tonight’s topics included:

The No Soap Radio Promo Contest is over — and we won! We created our own promo and declared ourselves the winners. We are the proud winners of an unopened VHS screener copy of Any Given Sunday. And because we’re givers, we donated it right back to the show to use as a prize in another contest…

..which led to the debut of a new contest: the What’s The Contest Contest. We’re going to give away a Shure SM58 microphone as the prize in a show-pimping contest … just as soon as we figure out what the contest is. Hence the What’s The Contest Contest — we’re taking suggestions for a contest to give the mic away, and whoever’s suggestion we pick will win the Any Given Sunday tape. Then we’ll give away the mic. So call us at (206) 339-7627 or email us at soapmail@gmail.com to enter and you could win a free movie helping someone else win an expensive microphone!

Chuck also bitched about the 2 Guys, 1 Brain podcast leaving him hanging for their 100th episode, Beth had an Iron Chef moment, we both said goodbye to Firefly, people are stupid, Chuck confessed to becoming a strong proud black woman every time he listens to the Bono/Mary J. Blige One duet in the car, Beth predicted that TomKat is a scam built on pillows of varying sizes, Chuck compared single sex to lions eating a wildebeest and married sex to having leftovers in the fridge, Chuck is going back to Colorado tomorrow and San Jose and Alabama and Georgia after that, and much much more.

So check us out, if you dare, because they say to Never Trust A Podcast Over Thirty.

We close the show tonight with the start of the No Soap Radio Promo Contest — we need a promo, so we’re opening it up to the listeners to take a crack at it. We’ll play the entries (if we get any) on the show and the winner will receive an unopened screener VHS copy of the movie Any Given Sunday. Yes, we know it’s a crappy prize. Create your promo entry accordingly.

Other topics tonight included our rising rank over at Podcast Alley and thanks to all who have voted; new pins on the Frappr map from the Pete and Renee Show, Republican Steve, Ajoon from South Africa, and our old meat sweats pal Amanda Page; a new bus sound effect for when Beth throws Chuck under the bus — which got used at least four times tonight; Zoe told her lost explorers joke that Chuck blew in an earlier show; Bruce Dern is an asshole; the country song Boondocks is a little bit too self-defensive to be true; Project Runway; trying to find tickets to see a taping of American Idol; Dick “Shotgun” Cheney; new closing music from Laughingstock; and etc.

So check us out, we’re Introducing the NSR Promo Contest!

Because we care about you, the listener, we’ve added an audio cue to our repertoire: a city bus. So now, when Beth is throwing Chuck under the bus, she’ll have sound effects to do it by. And she makes quick use of it tonight — multiple times.

We also talked about our new listener and fellow podcaster Eliza Metz of The SideShow podcast, pimped our Frappr map, begged for votes at Podcast Alley, figured out that we’re in the top 20% of shows there — or maybe the top 5% depending on which of us does the math, trading “who’s been in jail the most” stories with Chuck’s brothers at a 2-year-old’s birthday party at our extremely white-bread/straight-edge in-laws’ house, finding porn on the same in-laws’ computer while fixing it, our daughter was almost born on Leap Day which would have saved us tons of money on birthday presents, Gummi Bears are evil, The Aristocrats was great, and much, much more.

So check it out, Here Come De Bus!

This is really show #27.5, because we recorded #27 and decided not to publish it — it was too mean and nasty, filled with threats of divorce and angry outbursts, really not showing us at our best at all. Everything you’d really like to hear, right? Too bad.

Instead, we have this version, where we talk about pretty ponies and butterflies and fluffy bunnies and… No, wait, that’s what we ate for breakfast. But we really did talk about fluffy bunnies — it’s what Beth planned to say she was afraid of on the Amazing Race application when she was thinking of trying out for it.

Other topics of discussion tonight were: Chuck’s unwanted porn gag on the 2 Guys 1 Brain podcast, Adelphia sucks donkey balls and Beth almost went postal on them, we finally got a response to the help wanted ad for a recording engineer, stomach flu is running through the household, gambling in Calgary and winning at craps, poutine at A&W Root Beer, our dog’s $1000 chewing appetite, Chuck hates “Goodnight Belgium” and Beth hates our new closing music.

Check us out, we are now with poutine!

It’s a solid 32 minutes and 50 seconds of comedy tonight — if you ignore the tasteless Michael Jackson joke and Chuck fucking up the punchline of Zoe’s joke. Tonight’s topics included: new mike stands, music piracy, votes at Podcast Alley — we’re in the top 5 percentile (we think), cataracts and reading glasses and walkers (oh my!), a fond farewell to Evaporation, SWAG, a new phone jack for the Vagina Tivo, chunky verbal diarrhea… And of course the ruined joke.

Check us out, we’ll be here all week!
