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!

Today we hear from Madame Rootabega, Valentino, and Bison Bentley, PLUS we bring you the FINALE of the segment INTO AN INTERVIEW with singer/songwriter/multi-

Today I realized something. That I have got to be a cool neighbor and put up my lights. So I did. Now everyone can drive by and marvel at the money I spent to look yule cool. But the interesting thing is I got it all for free! Yeah, all my outdoor decorations were given to me. Hand me downs. Maybe THAT is why it looks like crap.
