Smart Mouths Podcast

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

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!

In the recommendations, Penny requested that you all vote for the Gwendolyn Strong Foundation in the Chase Giving Campaign on Facebook. Please read the following letter from one of our longtime listeners that helps explain why this is so important:

Dear Smart Mouths: I am an original, longtime listener. I love you all, and appreciate your company each week during one of my many (now infamous on Twitter) 3-mile runs. I’m writing to plead with you and your listeners to support an important cause.

Beginning Friday 1/15 and ending 1/23, every Facebook user has 5 votes in the Chase Community Giving campaign. My request is for all of you to participate in this contest and consider spending a vote on the Gwendolyn Strong Foundation. Gwendolyn is two years old, lives in Santa Barbara, and suffers from Spinal Muscular Atrophy, which is a terminal disease. My twins suffer from the same disease, and the foundation which her parents have created is committed to raising money to fund research for a cure.

The majority of babies with SMA die before they turn two years old. I don’t know how I’ve been so lucky that both of my twins have beaten those odds, but I will do anything to help find a cure. The Gwendolyn Strong Foundation is a grass roots effort to raise awareness and find a cure. They’ve already made it into the final round of the Chase Community Giving campaign, and can use every single vote from all of your listeners.

It’s not too late. My babies still have a chance at normal lives. Plus? They’re super smart and cute. Follow my blog at bahamasbahamasbahamas.blogspot.com, or visit www.gwendolynstrongfoundation.com/chase for more info on SMA and the Chase Community Giving campaign.
