This was another great show, and I want to thank Eric from FL. and Brett from N.C for their POV on the Apple vs. Palm Pre Patent section of the show. It was excellent.
Their are so many parts to this show that will give you the feel that we do hit all basis each week. If you are looking for Economic Talk, we have it. If you want the views of our guests on current events like what is going on at US AIRWAYS, here is the place that you will hear it. Also, as I mentioned, the Apple and Palm Pre patent talk provided some very good points-of-view and opinions. As we do on a weekly basis, we touched on new movies that are coming to the big screen and also to DVD this week. From the music desk, we bring you some music news and also some upcoming Grammy’s info.
It wouldn’t be a full week here if porn or strippers weren’t involved, so you have to tune in for Odd News-It is a nose breaker.
Enjoy the show… Show notes for Episode 77 – January 29, 2009

With words that are as chilling as the Northeastern air, we now have hope. Hope in new beginnings, hope in changes to come, and hope that my social security will be there (maybe) when I retire.
Coming off a big show with Episode 75, once again I have to reach out and thank the guys at Televox for the video that was posted here, and also some pictures that I received from a recent music video shoot that they are in the midst of. ( www.televoxmusic.com )
I have learned many things this week. I have realized that my sense of being has been restored and my sense of caring was elevated only to be deflated once again right after this show was recorded live. I love the fact that everyone is a writer and a novelist and a “info gatherer” and I was threatened to see that my opinion isn’t valid. I was also called many things and that never gets me down. I was told that I was part of a poll that included 427 people that commented, but wasn’t privy to the link on a topic that I was the subject of. I have always defended my thoughts and I have never been a coward to tell someone how I feel about them. It’s just funny that people can be so vindictive (aggressive or assertive-you choose the word) without ever seeing the other person, face to face.
With that said, Episode 76 leads off with a great song by Snow Patrol, that was spiced up a bit.
Here are the show notes for Episode 76, enjoy the show.
Hope starts off 2009

When you look down this lists of what happens on this show, (even I am amazed) that we fit this in on the show in just over 2 hours. This was a great show that reminded me of a roller-coaster that has many ups and downs and loops and all that great stuff. It was a deep show, opinionated, and funny all at the same time! Listen to this one, leave a comment, click a link and copy the show link in those comments and let’s show the Internet that we are the place for opinions on the net. Thank you to all my guests and to Televox for “In the Mood”, and also to the people that listen to the show week after week. To the fans I say “Check 12″
Here are the show notes for Episode 75

Brett’s back from 8 days in Vegas and talks about new products and some facts about CES attendance.
Oakland riots, and a police officer is charged for murder. Patrick dices it up and relays his opinions on the incident. He also talks a bit about the military taken to the streets. LOOK OUT!

Did you see Bush’s farewell speech? Tough to take in HD according to Chaz…
Robbie has a great response to how they move Bush out of the White House (very funny)

Robbie ruins the economy. Headline “Blogger takes down the Financial Markets” and comments on how many years he will be in jail! (Hysterical!) +17 for weed…(I lose it!)
Will markets spark up on Tuesday when Obama gets sworn in?
Bank of America and what the bank means to the government (cause Uncle Sam keeps pumping $ into it)
Personalization at banks where we agree to disagree on this topic. Do you think that you are just a number now as compared to back in the 70’s and 80’s?
Fraud and Mortgage Companies, where we are at now because of it. Also $100 million to help people in foreclosure issues? That isn’t enough in my opinion.
