Oops! I missaid something on the show today. You won't be able to see Comet ISON two years from now, just a year from now. It will be visible from October 2013 to January 2014. That will be fun! Of course there will be those doomsayers as there always is surrounding anything of a scientific nature. No, it's just an old calender. No, it's just an amazing comet that we'll have the opportunity to see. Chill out! Oh, and have a wonderful 2013! Have a safe new year's and do not drink booze if you're going to drive. Enjoy the virgin drinks: your coke's and sprite's and blended smoothies. 2013 will be a lucky year! Let's start it off smart! And here's to more fun Mike's Daily Podcasts in 2013!

Today we hear from Chely Shoehart, Floyd the Floorman, and John Deer the Engineer, PLUS we bring you the segment MIKE's ABSOLUTELY USELESS REVIEW, or MAUR, of 2012, and another song by a group I interviewed this year!

Tomorrow we'll bring you the segment MIKE ON MOBILE, plus we'll hear from Benita, the Disgruntled Fiddle Player, and the Brewmaster!

My dog is a boxer named Basil. He's just the cutest dog. I try to walk him every day, but no matter how much exercise he gets he becomes rambunctious when I start recording the podcast. It's like he doesn't understand what's going on. Okay, I guess that happens to most people who listen to the show. I think all the different voices freak him out. As soon as I start recording he goes upstairs. When I'm done he comes back down. Sorry Basil. I hope all the walking I give you more than makes up for it!

Today we hear from Madame Rootabega, Valentino, and Bison Bentley, PLUS we bring you the segment WOW, SCHATZ, WOW! where we take a look at a television episode that foretold this year six years ago!

Tomorrow we bring you the segment MIKE ON MOBILE, plus we'll hear from Chely Shoehart, Floyd the Floorman, and John Deer the Engineer.

So Christmas is done and I am done with hearing Christmas songs. However, I do get in to that whole other people interpreting famous old songs with their own style, so I am slowly adjusting out of the holiday music by listening to an Internet radio station that plays nothing but covers! It's fascinating! It's on Soma DOT fm and it's free though you can contribute if you like. I love hearing some of these renditions, and there's NO COMMERCIALS! None that I heard, any way.

Today we hear from Benita, the Disgruntled Fiddle Player, and the Brewmaster, PLUS we bring you the segment NEWS RANDOM and some strange post-Christmas animal stories.

Tomorrow we bring you the segment WOW, SCHATZ, WOW! Plus we'll hear from Madame Rootabega, Valentino, and Bison Bentley!

I made Tlapeno Soup last night (see blog post below) and it was AWESOME! Such a low fat delicious meal. It's a little spicy because you put Adobo sauce in it, but that just makes you feel so good when you're done! It's even better if you have a cold! I bet you never thought you'd read that sentence!

Today we hear from Chely Shoehart, Floyd the Floorman, and John Deer the Engineer, PLUS we bring you the PREMIER of the NEW SEGMENT called THE BOTTOM OF THE CHARTS, and we bring you another group I interviewed this year!

Tomorrow we bring you the segment NEWS RANDOM plus we hear from Benita, the Disgruntled Fiddle Player, and the Brewmaster!

You can't be serious! Christmas this Tuesday? Who authorized this??? I didn't realized since I had the end of the world coming today and I was preoccupied. Speaking of which, I went to visit my wife's cousin's family today and they live next to Jehovah's Witnesses, one of their compounds. They just moved in over the past year. I asked if their neighbors were noisy and if they bothered them and they said no, but they wondered why none of their buildings had windows. That IS intriguing! Maybe it's like a bunker since they're always thinking the end of the world is coming. To them every day is December 21st!

Today we hear from Benita, the Disgruntled Fiddle Player, and the Brewmaster, PLUS we bring you the segment THE MIKELOPEDIA INSANICA featuring the 3 best little-thought-of Christmas movies and another song from one of the artists we had this year on INTO AN INTERVIEW!

I haven't written anything yet about the shooting. I really try not to do what everybody else in the world is doing, and so many people have articulated better than I could have. But this was big. This was way beyond any of us could have expected. For the lives lost we must commit to more restrictive laws on guns. What if there was a teacher who had a gun to fight back with? Well, the killer had more than one gun so unless we're saying everyone should pack twice the amount of heat I think we should start thinking about making it more difficult for ANYONE to have access to firepower like this.

Today we hear from Madame Rootabega, Valentino, and Bison Bentley, PLUS we announce the winner of the YULETIDE PERSONALIZED MP3 FOR THEE CONTEST on the segment EMAILS FOR ME MAIL, and we hear a song from one of the groups I interviewed this year!

It's a rainy day in Northern California. Nothing very interesting about that, really. I'm going to wear clothes I don't mind getting soaked. I guess all clothes are like that except for dry cleaning. Yes, this was a really inspirational paragraph.

So I got an awesome birthday present! Though my b-day was weeks ago, this cool present is an espresso maker that's kinda like those keuriggy things you see all over now. It froths milk too. I don't ever have to go to another starbucks again. Dang, and I have a freeby from the rewards coming up. Oh the dilemmas of life!

So you can listen to this show on a great online radio station called KNJOradio DOT com weekdays at 3pm and 7pm. I used to work at KNJO in the early 90's when I was struggling to get on the air any where. At one point I was on KNJO in Thousand Oaks on Saturday morning, then Y-97 in Santa Barbara by Saturday afternoon, then 96.7 The Bus in Ventura by Saturday night. That was a lot of driving and hardly any pay, but I was paying my dues. Hell, in radio you're ALWAYS paying your dues!

Today we hear from Madame Rootabega, Valentino, and Bison Bentley, PLUS we bring you part 2 of the segment INTO AN INTERVIEW with Blake Christiana of the awesome band Yarn!

This podcast is now being heard on the radio!!! Well, not a "terrestrial radio" or one that is uses a frequency on the AM or FM band. This is an INTERNET radio station called KNJO RADIO dot COM and Steve Thomas who runs it will play this show back at 2pm Pacific Time DAILY!!! Isn't that great?!? I used to be heard on KNJO when I was 22 to 25 years old. Now I am much older and wiser and don't suck so much at radio announcing. Okay, maybe I do a little. Let's just say Ryan Seacrest is younger than me and makes tons and tons and tons of more money than I do. I guess I see my place in the grand spectrum of things. But thank you so much KNJO Radio for having me on! We'll have lots o' fun!

So I sent in a demo of my radio work to the old station I used to work for in Ventura County, California but as of yet they aren't banging on my door (or calling my cell). Maybe they did a google search and found this blog and didn't like what they read. Maybe they've already settled for a Ryan Seacrest clone.

My birthday is in two days so what to get me? How 'bout Adam Corrolla's head of hair. Seriously, how does that guy generate so much fro? I, on the other hand, have been blessed with shiny skull skin. Wondrous.

Today we hear from Chely Shoehart, Floyd the Floorman, and John Deer the Engineer, PLUS we bring you the segment NEWS RANDOM where we hear about a measure that passed in podCastro Valley that was a complete goof!

Tomorrow and till next Monday we will have no MIKE's DAILY PODCAST so that I can make a huge Thanksgiving feast for all the podcast characters and then sleep for the next three days straight.

So my birthday is in 3 days. Yes, it's on Thanksgiving this year. I am going to be the double your fun number 4! As in 44! I am so happy to be twice the age of such famous people today as Kristen Stewart. Yes, so happy. What's that? A tear? Oh, bother!

Garin Regional Park in Hayward has some cool old farm equipment Basil liked!

They've made the old tools "safe" by removing sharp and dangerous parts. Basil the Boxer seemed very interested!

As you'll see below I have done a song for today's show. The weather outside is rainy and on rainy days I feel like writing a tune. My dog, Basil the Boxer, doesn't appreciate my music as he walks out of the room as I start recording. So great to have such visible fans when you're creating. Basil, so sorry that I'm torturing you with my music. Luckily inspiration is so few and far between!

Today we hear from Benita, the Disgruntled Fiddle Player, and the Brewmaster, PLUS we bring you the return of the much loved segment MIKE MAKES MUSIC where I debut a new song I just wrote and produced today. Please keep your expectations low.

Tomorrow we bring you the segment MIKE ON MOBILE, plus we'll hear from Madame Rootabega, Valentino, and Bison Bentley.

In news today we find that Bay Area drivers are the first in the nation to drive with algae based biofuel. Algae, for the those of you in the not-know, is that little organism that's going to take over the entire world at some point so we might as well use them now in our gas tanks. I love the smell of a bio-diesel truck in front of me burning fuel made from discarded McDonald's french fries oil which I'm smelling less and less of these days. I wonder what driving behind an algae car smells like. Is it the smell of a swimming pool that hasn't had any chlorine put in it for 2 years? Is it the smell of my dog's outside water bowl if I forget to clean it after 2 months? Or is it the smell of the perfect fairy fart? Who knows. I guess we'll soon find out.

Today we hear from Chely Shoehart, Floyd the Floorman, and John Deer the Engineer, PLUS we bring you the FINALE of the segment INTO AN INTERVIEW with the band Finn Riggins and their vocalist/guitarist/bassist/

keyboardist Eric Gilbert!

Tomorrow we bring you the segment NEWS RANDOM, plus we hear from Benita, the Disgruntled Fiddle Player, and the Brewmaster.

There's a total solar eclipse going on in Australia today! Crazy! That also happens to be the name of a song from an awesome Australian band from the 80's called Icehouse. They never had a song about eclipses, that was Bonnie Tyler's doing. But in the end who cares because that waslong, long ago and the youth today just remembers the techno version by Nicki French. The big question now is why did I buy Nicki's album? I think I got it used for a dollar. Yes, that dollar could have gone towards something better like a nice toupee for me. Oh well.

Today we hear from Benita, the Disgruntled Fiddle Player, and the Brewmaster, PLUS we bring you the segment INTO AN INTERVIEW where we talk to Eric Gilbert of the band Finn Riggins and listen to some of their awesome songs!

Tomorrow we bring you part 2 of my interview with Finn Riggins' Eric Gilbert, PLUS we hear from Madame Rootabega, Valentino, and Bison Bentley.

Petraeus did the "Mad Men" thing and had an affair. Wow, he's joined the Bill Clinton Club. Those high stress jobs do strange things to people. Now he's quit his job and must try to reconstruct his life. I wonder how many librarians have affairs. That seems pretty low stress.

I am quoting directly from the NPD Group, a highly regarded market research company, via an article by Jason Gilbert on the Huffington Post website that the "percentage of Americans who listen to music on the Internet -- on services like Pandora, Spotify, YouTube and Rhapsody -- is closing in on the percentage of Americans who listen to music on traditional platforms like FM/AM radio and the compact disc." Did you hear that? If you still listen to "antennae radio" you are being left in the shadows like the Republicans who think they can win an election without appealing to women and Latino's. This news makes me so happy. I almost NEVER listen to antennae radio save for sometimes one of the two NPR stations in my area. Most of the time while in my car I'm listening to podcasts and I try to listen to non-radio podcasts, one's that aren't aired on radio first and then turned into podcasts. Unfortunately, the non-radio podcasts usually stink since they're created by immature males who think they're revolutionary because they use a lot of profanity. However, there is NO profanity on my show, it is NOT heard on a radio station first, and it is brought to you completely free! No commercials involved! If you discover another podcast that follows those worthy rules, please let me know!

Today we hear from Benita, the Disgruntled Fiddle Player, and the Brewmaster, PLUS we bring you the segment NEWS RANDOM where we hear about one of America's new dirty obsessions.

Tomorrow we bring you the delayed segment from a couple days ago WHAT's THE CLICHE OF THE WEEK? Plus we'll hear from Madame Rootabega, Valentino, and Bison Bentley.

I met a shoe at the Livermore Factory Outlets grand opening!

I hope I don't have to come back here! Way too crowded and no where to sit! They should have just built another winery!

Thursday's are the day before trash day here at The Last Place on Earth so I always have to remind myself to put the cans on the curb. Oh, we don't have cans anymore. It's those big plastic drums on wheels. So convenient. Remember having to carry cans? Lifting them and dropping them at the curb then finding the neighborhood brats knocking them over before the trash truck came? Love those drums on wheels. Thank you, person who invented those! You're awesome!

Okay that's over. Now on to 2014 when all the Tea Partiers storm the Capital again and to 2016 when Hilary tries to kick Chris Christie's butt. Or will it be Biden and Marco Rubio? I have decided I am not going to care at all. I will reduce the amount of political podcasts I listen to because in the end in one night it all gets changed any way. Still, Hilary and Christie would be a good race!

So the iPad Mini is the next big thing. Since it took me over 4 years to finally get an iPhone I think it will be a good long time till I get a Mini. I must say, however, that the Mini is a great idea and smaller pads will indeed some day replace bigger ones. Did this just turn into a feminine hygiene commercial? I mean the mini's will replace smart phones since you'll be able to do EVERYTHING on them, including make calls. There, that's all I had to say. Thankfully.
