Smart Mouths Podcast

Our final episode of 2009 is here, and it’s one big Year in Review bonanza!

Just us as we revisit some of the biggest stories we discussed on the show this year. Plus:

- We all went to the Daily Show!
- Laura says farewell until May, and the other hosts speculate various scenarios of her demise.
- We learn that Tiger Woods’ infidelity is the REAL cause behind the additional troop deployment.
- Micah performs his rendition of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas’.
- We leave you with a montage of ‘The Best of Smart Mouths 2009′. Happy New Year! (Special thanks to Bookworm411 and her crew in the “Project Smart Mouths” thread on the forums. We couldn’t have made this montage without them!)

Thanks to everyone who entered! We will be showcasing all of your work on the website in the coming weeks!

Today is a very special day. One half of our famous Political Bitches team is turning 21 today! Where would Smart Mouths be today without Laura? Probably not in existence since she pulled us all together and got our butts in gear to start our great show!

If I’m the matriarch of the show, Laura is definitely the wise aunt. She is the person we ALL turn to when we need advice, ideas or suggestions. While she may be woefully inadequate at pop culture knowledge (minus Green Day and Dexter), she helps to whip us in to shape with political and world news items. Her vast knowledge on the goings on in random countries throughout the world, as well as her wonderfully liberal nature have been such important aspects to Smart Mouths that we don’t know what we’d do without her!

So, now allow us to wish a VERY Happy 21st Birthday to Laura Thompson. She is an incredible friend to each of us and we truly love her. If I may add a personal note…Laura, you are 21 now. That means you can start drinking. If you need ANY advice on alcohol, you can come to me. I know a lot more than you do about getting drunk, so I can be your mentor. mm.

Hey everyone! We’ve got a different kind of episode for you this week. Join Andrew, Greg, Matt, Micah and myself as we go through the 100 Best Of the Decade (thanks Entertainment Weekly, for the guidance!). We had a really fun time doing this, and we hope you enjoy our salute to Pop Culture over the past ten years.

We’ve also got some really positive backwashes as well as several WTF stories!!

Links we mentioned:
-J Lo Dress
-WTF Picture Micah was talking about (note: Not Safe For Work, Those under 18, we’re telling you not to click).

Don’t forget about our awesome new T-shirt Photoshop contest, we’re still accepting entries!

Never underestimate the power of the Australians!

iTunes has published a list of the Best Podcasts for 2009, and Smart Mouths is listed in the “Best New Audio” category.

BUT, we’re only listed in their Australia store! You won’t see it if you’re viewing the page from other country stores.

Because I care about you all so much, I traveled with my MacBook to Australia, logged on to iTunes as soon as I arrived at the airport, and took screencaps of the accomplishment:

- Best of 2009 header image
- Smart Mouths!

I had to take two separate pics cause Smart Mouths sat very far down the list.

THANKS TO ALL YOU AUSTRALIANS WHO MADE US STAND OUT IN THAT KANGAROO COUNTRY!

In the spirit of the holiday season, the Smart Mouths hosts are in a giving mood.  It doesn’t matter if you celebrate Chanukah, Kwanzaa or that commercial holiday where you put up a tree with lights and wait for a fat man who is flown around by reindeer to come down your chimney and steal your milk and cookies.  We don’t judge.  In fact, all you need is some creativity and we know our listeners have that (unless of course you are Canadian, in which case you are immediately disqualified from entry).

We’re running a contest to give away one (1) t-shirt to a very lucky listener.  So you must be asking yourself, how can I have such blessed luck and good fortune bestowed upon myself?  Simple: we want you to come up with the most creative image you can that includes the Smart Mouths t-shirt.  For inspiration, please see the photo to the right depicting America’s first-elected black President and (more importantly) frequent Smart Mouths contributor Barack Obama.  You may use Photoshop, pen and paper, even blood (though highly discouraged, unless Canadian).

The deadline for entry is Sunday, December 20 at 11:59 p.m. PST.  Please submit all entries as attached .jpg files with the following dimensions (350×400) to smartmouthspodcast@gmail.com.  The contest is open to ALL of our listeners around the world. See Canadians, we really do love you!  Participants may enter as many times as is humanly possible to press the “Send” button.

The hosts will choose the top 3 entries and let you vote on who you think should get the grand prize.  We’ll award the runners up some signed album art.  All the entries will be featured on our site in the weeks following the end of the contest.

Let the inappropriateness begin!
