Smart Mouths Podcast

Today, we celebrate the birth of the legendary anchorman, Micah Tannenbaum. Born in the year of our lord, (19XX) Micah has always been an invaluable member of our podcasting team. From our days of dabbling in satanic witchcraft to these current days of dabbling in being assholes, he has always been there to tell it like it is and “give it to us”.

Unfortunately for poor Micah, he is oftentimes subjected to the poor manners and vulgar exploits of his fellow co-hosts. He has been kind enough all these years to shake his head rather than giving us all the “FUCK YOU” we so richly deserve.

On behalf of Smart Mouths, I would like to wish Mr. Tannenbaum a HAPPY FUCKING BIRTHDAY! I’m sure our listeners agree when I say this show would not be the same without the tales of Darwin award winners, genitalia and the occasional farm animal getting caught up with the wrong crowd.

Now, bitches, leave your appreciation in the comments below.

This is a test of the SM Twitter system…please do not harm yourselves or others during this period!

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.

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

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.

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!
