Smart Mouths Book Club Episode #1: The Hunger Games

by Penny on Feb.26, 2010, under Episodes

We’ve been throwing around the idea of starting a Smart Mouths book club and we decided to start with the VERY popular book, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.
Join Matt and Penny for our FIRST ever Smart Mouths Book Club episode. We hope you enjoy it and we can’t wait to hear your feedback!

In this episode we discuss:
-The general plot of The Hunger Games
-The main characters
-The themes and messages of this book, and how it relates to the real world: the media, our country and politics.
-A possible movie adaptation of The Hunger Games: who would we choose to act?

Happy Birthday Elysa!!

by Penny on Feb.23, 2010, under Announcements

Would it be a cliche to say that we couldn’t do Smart Mouths without Elysa? Yes, it would. Besides, we COULD do the show without her. But let’s be perfectly honest here, it wouldn’t be nearly half as good if we did.

Elysa is our girl who lives in the middle of nowhere, who takes our mocking her about it with such good a natured attitude that one might think she moved to SoMa for OUR benefit. She is our resident political expert, our staunch social liberal who loves to surprise us by reminding us that she has some conservative political leanings as well. She is our classic rock (i.e., good music) guru who was definitely born a few years too late for the awesome classic t-shirts she likes to sport. She doesn’t realize it but she is a voice of reason on the show. Someone who gives a lick of credibility to what otherwise might be a free for all of inappropriate jokes, cynicism, and totally inaccurate facts.

Most of all though, Elysa is an amazing friend. As all of us can attest, Elysa doesn’t have an ounce of selfish in her when it comes to her friends. She is the first to ask what’s going on with YOU when in all fairness, the conversation should be about HER. She is a great listener, a confidant and a friend who provides enough uniqueness that she makes you think you’re not completely alone in your world of crazy. So let’s raise our Pomegranate Martini’s (if we’re 21 or older) to Elysa (Elysa, if you have one- make sure to lay the glass gently on the table when you’re done) and wish her an amazing birthday! We love you!

-Google That Shit is back and THIS TIME, we keep score!
-Backwash addresses the Olympics and We Are the World 2010. Matt is still mad.

Smart Mouths #48: Happy Birthday!

by Penny on Feb.11, 2010, under Episodes, Uncategorized

As we’ve mentioned, Smart Mouths turned 1 this week! We can’t believe we’ve been around for a year already. We wish we could say we’ve matured over the year but as evidenced by this episode, we’re just as crude, immature and crass as ever. YOU’RE WELCOME.

In this episode:

-ALL of the hosts make an appearance. That means that the new Costa Rican President, Laura is here too! (also, please note that the internet is pretty spotty in Costa Rica and our sound quality is significantly decreased when Laura is on. But it was worth it to have her join us!!)
-Super Bowl review. One of our hosts got a special shout out from the winning QB!
-Sarah Palin strikes again and we have to ask…really, Sarah?
-We talk rumors that Howard Stern might join American Idol. Good idea?
-New fun segment invented by Matt. Let’s just say this one is EPIC. You’ll love it. Trust us.
-We read your tweets about your favorite SM memories of the past year!
-During backwash we discuss the Boy Scout’s 100 Year Anniversary, The one year anniversary of Black Saturday in Australia and renting seniors.
-WTF news addresses some of the world’s stupidist people and grossest things.

Happy Birthday, Smart Mouths!

by Micah on Feb.10, 2010, under Uncategorized

It is hard to believe it has been one year since the dream of one Costa Rican Lolita took its first step towards becoming a reality. On February 10, 2009, Smart Mouths released its pilot episode completely uncertain of the successes, if any, it would enjoy. We’ve can’t even begin to tell you what it has meant to insult so many of you over the last 48 episodes. We hope to continue these efforts as we move forward.

None of this would be possible with out you, our listeners and for that we are so very thankful. Well, not really, but it’s in my contract to include at least one kind , semi-genuine statement per post.

One of the reasons we have enjoyed so much success is because of the celebrities that have chosen to appear from time to time on our show. We have been blessed by Jesus Christ to have such guests as Mickey Mouse and Elmo and to have had Allah’s light shined upon us when joined by President Barack Obama.

I would be remiss not to thank a few others. Our show would not be what it is today without those who have put in countless hours and effort: Captain Save-A-Ho, Ninio The Gay Elephant, Sarah Palin, Eric Cartman, Michael Jackson and Tom.

In all seriousness, thank you to all our listeners (unless you’re Canadian). We hope to be as informative and inappropriate in the coming year as we have been up to this point!

Sincerely,

The Coalition For Asian American Children and Families

Happy Birthday G-Squared!

by Elysa on Feb.07, 2010, under Announcements

Gregory the Great: Technerd. Drunkard. Jew extraordinaire. He has taught us the Philosophy of Chuck Norris, the value of liquoring up before making thinly-disguised lewd phone calls, and how best to succinctly and effectively offend every country that ever was. In the School of Awesome, he is our Jedi Master.

And today he is another year older, another year wiser, perhaps another year closer to realizing we’re all just using him for his sex. Sad.

Thank you, Greg, for supporting our crazy, for making us laugh, for being the closest thing to a sane person we have on this unholy show— which is, granted, much like being the smartest kid on the short bus, but nevertheless we couldn’t do this without you, and Allah help us if we’re ever forced to try.

Happy birthday, dear! We love you!
