Here you go. Full-throated audio, baby!

Protein wisdom’s first ever podcast. Downloadable to your iPod. Though why you’d want to do that I have no idea.

Enjoy!

107 Replies to “Here you go. Full-throated audio, baby!”

  1. Dan Collins says:

    Where are the goddamn donuts?

  2. Jeff G. says:

    Not in the pantry, evidently.

    Though I might be sleeping there tonight.

  3. Darleen says:

    Hey, I know that conversation…

    I did some variation on that each time I tried to answer the phone with kids in the house…

    ROFL

    thanks, boss!

  4. MayBee says:

    Sounded for a minute like maybe you were wrestling the Quaker Oats.

  5. harrison says:

    I laughed.
    I cried.
    It became a part of me.

  6. happyfeet says:

    For real I think podcast1.m4a is really bad nomenclature. I would go more with like 2008-07_01.m4a so they look pretty after awhile when they pile up.

  7. Jeff G. says:

    I wasn’t sure I was allowed to change the title. And clearly I don’t know yet how to edit.

  8. happyfeet says:

    It’s ok though cause I can just rename them. 2008-07-17.m4a is what I’m calling this one.

  9. happyfeet says:

    That really was very good sound and good timbre and all. You didn’t sound like Guy Smiley at all.

  10. Jeff G. says:

    Figures. Instapundit linked to another Karl post. Did he link to my foray into the exciting field of podcasting? No. Of course not. Because he feels threatened by my blog radio presence, no doubt.

    Still. I shall overcome.

  11. Jeff G. says:

    …mostly because I felt free to add it in an update to Karl’s post. Under “related.”

    Because donuts are relatable to anything and everything.

  12. happyfeet says:

    Here is a disturbing picture of Alex Trebek.

  13. happyfeet says:

    Here? is a disturbing picture of Alex Trebek.

  14. MayBee says:

    I think this will be the big break you’ve been waiting for, Jeff. I can just feel it.

  15. Jeff G. says:

    I’ll take “regrettable glamor shots” for $600, please.

  16. Dan Collins says:

    Reynolds’s audio posts lack the, if I may say so, immediacy of yours, Jeff.

  17. MayBee says:

    I like Trebeck because I read once that he gets really annoyed by people that take videos during their vacation.

  18. Well played, Trebeck. /sean connery

  19. Pablo says:

    You should be charging for that, Jeff. You can’t get that kind of reality just anywhere.

  20. Big Bang Hunter (pumping you up) says:

    – Feets, I just labeled it “The donuts of wraith”, figuring Jeff was giving PW readers an early peak at the first draft of chapter #1 of his great American novel.

  21. dre says:

    “Still. I shall overcome.”
    You’re on the Atlantic podcast?

  22. Karl says:

    That may have been Jeff’s shortest. retirement. evah.

    HE’S BACK, BABY!!!

  23. happyfeet says:

    Oh. I’m stealing that. I finally went with 2008-07-17In Which There May Very Well Be Donuts In The Pantry.m4a. Yours is better.

  24. SarahW says:

    Wow. The audio was FAB. That is way more James Earl Jones than I expected based on the radio stuff.

    I feel all mescaline-y as I ate some bad tabouleh, so take this FWIW —- that was HOT.

  25. serr8d says:

    Just the way I like podcasts. Short, to the point, and naturally riveting.

    Reynolds, slumberlord of the podcasting world.

  26. Jeff G. says:

    Reynolds is awesome. But his awesomeness cannot compare to my carefully constructed IRREVERENCE!

  27. Big Bang Hunter (pumping you up) says:

    Note to all single PW male readers: Sarah W is feeling her moonbeams tonight, so be sure to wear your argyle socks and don’t forget the plastic pocket protectors…Wait, or was it that she goes for the geek type…..Hmmm…well never mind, just be careful, its a jungle out there.

  28. […] Goldstein, one of the more private (with good cause) bloggers I know, has his own podcast, too. I don’t know how regularly they’ll appear, but if his podcast is anything like his […]

  29. SarahW says:

    Slumberlord

    Punctuated by the apneaic arousals Dr. Helen’s aksint. Some of you may have other kinds. But it stirs up a lot of childhood memories of nearly being eaten by alcoa duck pond ducks.

  30. SarahW says:

    dang tag fails.

  31. lunarpuff says:

    wow. you look taller than i expected.

  32. Jeff G. says:

    Oh. I’m so doing these in the nude from here on out.

  33. Dan Collins says:

    Everybody Wang Chung tonight!

  34. Big Bang Hunter (pumping you up) says:

    – Let me guess….Next time you’ll know exactly where the donuts are.

  35. phreshone says:

    My dog loved it. And I’m sure most of Reynolds’ readers will twist their head the same confused way when they listen to it.

  36. Jeff G. says:

    By the way, these things don’t pay for themselves. Send Dan’s kid some money so he can do summer camp proper — you know, get the counselors drunk on Old Crow and duct tape them to the row of cubby holes, then buy themselves a pair of hookers. It’s the least you can do.

    I’d do it myself, but I’m driving a car that gets 12 mpg. Which means I can barely scrape together enough for my own hookers just now. But that’s no excuse.

    For you guys, I mean.

  37. lunarpuff says:

    so sorry about the hookers.

    now what is this Old Crow you speak of?

  38. like you need to drive anywhere.

  39. Jeff G. says:

    Dogs and little kids have always loved me.

    It’s probably the eyebrows. Or else the bacon bit covered lollipops I carry around.

  40. happyfeet says:

    Dogs. For real it’s a shame about that lifespan thing I think. You’d think Reynolds would be all over that.

  41. uh, happyfeet, Reynolds likes his dogs young and blended. I guess he needs a few for breeding, but otherwise, not so much.

  42. Karl says:

    hf, pls lets not encourage you-know-who to lays some transcaninist dogma on us.

  43. Big Bang Hunter (pumping you up) says:

    – Oh. Maybe thats what I was doing wrong. I was carrying eyebrow covered lollipops.

  44. Karl says:

    BBH,

    I think you might get Andy Rooney to love you.

  45. Jeff G. says:

    That only attracts Robin Williams, BBH. Be very careful, is my advice.

  46. Karl says:

    Anyway, The Dark Knight beckons, so expect a review tomorrow morning.

    I hear that Heath Ledger guy is in it, so I’m wondering if it’s going to be like Brokeback Batman or something.

  47. happyfeet says:

    oh. You’re right, maggie. He takes longevity very seriously though. Telomeres and such. I usually skip cause spending your one God-given life reading about longevity is crushingly ironic, especially at work.

  48. Big Bang Hunter (pumping you up) says:

    – Yeh, that could be a bummer. How do you tell a drunk naked Genie to get the hell off your lawn.

  49. Jeff G. says:

    How do you tell a drunk naked Genie to get the hell off your lawn.

    See? Those fuckers are always pulling that scam.

    Like I’m going to waste one of my three wishes just so he doesn’t piss on my rhododendrons…

  50. Big Bang Hunter (pumping you up) says:

    “Like I’m going to waste one of my three wishes just so he doesn’t piss on my rhododendrons…”

    – Yeh….and remember, they can’t make anyone fall in love with you, and they can’t kill anybody, so basically they’re useless.

    – Well, unless you think having a stoned naked Genie yelling the Gettysburg address in Swahili in your front yard at 3 in the morning instead of a boring lawn jockey might raise you up in neighborhood status.

  51. lunarpuff says:

    bbh, robbin williams can be lured away with some yanni most likely. you may feel differently about the drunk naked genie when he’s gone.

    or am i thinking of robbie williams?

  52. SarahW says:

    How do you tell a drunk naked Genie to get the hell off your lawn

    Diplomacy You approach discreetly in misbuttoned pajamas, and pant out your request – after dinner at a lebanese restaurant and before a good flossing. They take off pretty quick.

  53. Big Bang Hunter (pumping you up) says:

    – Well robbie would only be a tick up if you had something you needed jumped.

  54. Ouroboros says:

    Good parenting skills , Jeff.. He’s just a little boy.. You could have helped him find his Freakin donut for dinner.. but what the hell, it’ll give him something to tell his therapist..

  55. RTO Trainer says:

    This Genie looks like Barbara Eden, circa, 1965? She’s naked?

    And you want her to go?

  56. TBinSTL says:

    Cake, they said there’d be cake.

  57. Big Bang Hunter (pumping you up) says:

    – Sarah, at my age you don’t lean on Diplomacy, you go directly to the pity card. I carry a carefully coiffed broken wing for all social occasions.

  58. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    iTunes segued into Elected by Alice Cooper at the end of that. It worked pretty damned well — I thought it was part of the show. They should make that the official O! campaign song.

    Like I’m going to waste one of my three wishes just so he doesn’t piss on my rhododendrons…

    That rhododendron really ties the yard together, or so I’ve heard.

  59. SarahW says:

    Woo, BBH, like that Ted Bundy guy.

  60. lunarpuff says:

    i just wanted to get him away from the drunk, naked genie. i can’t remember why, but honestly it was for your sake, bbh!

  61. RTO Trainer says:

    lp this is ot, but I handed off your cv on the qt this am.

  62. Big Bang Hunter (pumping you up) says:

    “Woo, BBH, like that Ted Bundy guy.

    – Yes, but at least I have the good manners to drive my dates home afterward instead of carrying them in a doggie bag.

  63. SarahW says:

    Fargin’ Rhododendrons. Go back to your mountains!

    Richmond is so boring. It’s dogwood this and azalea that and rhododendron the other thing.

    Maybe a chaste tree once in awhile would be nice.

  64. Big Bang Hunter (pumping you up) says:

    “…but honestly it was for your sake, bbh!”

    – Why is it whenever a woman says that to you, you know instinctively this isn’t going to be your night for “lucky”.

  65. SarahW says:

    Doggie bag

    A Genie would probably fit in that nicely, though. Maybe even feel a snug and grateful sense of security.

  66. lunarpuff says:

    thanks, rto.

    this is also ot, (but maybe not because is anyone here sure of the topic) but i spent all day looking for jobs at northrup. the job titles are boring as hell but b4 you read the job description you have to don a trenchcoat and dark sunglasses. and look over your shoulder a lot.

    seriously. i took the coat and glasses off and my laptop sent like 4 bazillion watts into me. or volts. or centimeters or something.

    it’s a miracle i’m still typing.

  67. Big Bang Hunter (pumping you up) says:

    “it’s a miracle i’m still typing.”

    – Welcome to the wonderful world of the “security clearence community”. Reds can’t associate with blues or Greens, Greens can’t associate with Blues, and Blues can’t associate with anybody. “Q’s”, forget it. They’re so isolated they are basically just myths living among the Unicorns.

    – On the other hand, theres always shopping.

  68. RTO Trainer says:

    I know a guy at Northrup. He does modeling.

  69. Big Bang Hunter (pumping you up) says:

    – Bathing suits or evening wear?

  70. RTO Trainer says:

    Network traffic and lingere, I think.

  71. Big Bang Hunter (pumping you up) says:

    – We worked on some “stealth” lingerie at General Dynamics. In low level red lighting if you got at just the right angle it disappeared.

  72. lunarpuff says:

    networks and lingerie are an underrated combination.

    someone from google should look into this.

  73. Big Bang Hunter (pumping you up) says:

    – My guess is that Stealth lingerie would definitely improve your networking opportunities.

  74. Jeff G. says:

    Uh, where are my doughnuts?

  75. lunarpuff says:

    yeah, but it would be so awkward after the initial meeting.

  76. SarahW says:

    I think they are in the pants-tree, next to the genie,

  77. SarahW says:

    Or maybe that’s the ho-ho’s.

  78. SarahW says:

    I have the insomnia. Bleargh. Does parsley have psychoative properties?

  79. SarahW says:

    psychoactive, rather. Maybe it was the fatoush,

  80. The Lost Dog says:

    Downloadable to your iPod.

    What is this “Ipod”, and why would I want to download it?

    I think I am rather old and clingy to my early years.

    Vinyl. That’s the way to go…

  81. lunarpuff says:

    i got really dissosulioned with my entry level ipod a few years ago and wasn’t blown away with my upgraded ipods.

    i’ve been thru many mp3 players now and my all time fave is the irver clix.

    the cowon d2 was the most amazing little thing of all but not user friendly at all. my first was stolen, my second will be on ebay soon. i would still recommend it, but plan on a long learning curve.

  82. McGehee says:

    Um, sorry Jeff. I raided the pantry yesterday while you were retired.

    I didn’t think anyone would mind.

  83. ccs says:

    Oh. I’m so doing these in the nude from here on out.

    Thanks for the visual Jeff /sarc. I mean your buff and all that but homey don’t play that way.

  84. Made my morning. Very funny. Even more so because Mrs Cookies has been yelling, “What’s the matter?” down the basement stairs since I played it.

    I’m pretending I’m on the phone.

  85. Carin says:

    Loved it. With five kids, that’s my entire day.

  86. […] my reprehensible slight (which has been exposed as a HOAX! See below) by going me one better with a podcast of his own. And long-time friend of ours here at CF Jimmie, of ye olde Sundries Shack fame, has a little […]

  87. SarahW says:

    Tabouleh goggles off, I get the Guy Smiley reference, but Guy Smiley done by Demetri Martin. I was scared for Mcgehee in case you catch wrestled him for the donuts.

    I think should you do another one, a slideshow monologue enhancement would be nice. Youtube maybe?

  88. Victor. says:

    This is great!

    I would like to support any efforts that would help produce more i-pod content from ‘GoldWhistle’, where can I donate?

  89. twolaneflash says:

    iPod? Podcast? Damn. I knew The Body Snatchers would get Jeff if he kept hanging around Denver, and the full invasion isn’t due for another month.

  90. Obstreperous Infidel says:

    Ummm….donuts. Washed down by a peaty single malt?

  91. Obstreperous Infidel says:

    That should have been just plain ole’ “mmmmm…donuts”. Too much of the peaty stuff.

  92. Diana says:

    You had me at “Hello.”

  93. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    wasn’t blown away with my upgraded ipods.

    I hadn’t really gotten into the iPod thing until the iPod Touch came out. It’s more than just a music player, of course. It’s a worthy (indeed, superior) replacement for the Palm I carried for years.

  94. Victor. says:

    Is this like that New Yorker cover, where the joke is on me for thinking that we can expect more i-pod content in the future.

    I really hope not.

  96. dicentra says:

    on my rhododendrons

    You can grow rhododendrons where you live? Wow. I’m jealous.

    Sorry, that’s the only part of the comment that interested me. Botanical things, see.

  97. happyfeet says:

    There are over 28,000 varieties of rhododendrons. You just have to know what plant hardiness zone you live in. This is the zone for Utah, where you may very well live. This site lets you order varieties that have a chance at doing well in your zone. Unfortunately you can’t search by zone and just get a list of compatible varietals. You also have to think about soil acidity and the like though. This one does well in parts of Utah, for example. The American Rhododendron Society is a wonderful organization for those interested in further exploring the beautiful and wondrous world of the rhododendron.

  98. happyfeet says:

    Oh hey. You can just plug in your zone on this page and get a list of varieties, just that they may not all be rhododendrons.

  99. happyfeet says:

    If by some unfortunate circumstance you find yourself unable to find a rhododendron variety that will prosper where you live, take heart. There are many, many rhododendron sanctuaries scattered about this planet of ours wherein the adventuresome rhododendrophile may find peace in contemplative commune with this most remarkable of florage.

  100. happyfeet says:

    “Rhododendron”

    Flourishing in the shade, before the chestnut
    That clogged A’s plumbing up with roots came down,
    It faltered afterwards. Sunhammered, blotching brown,
    It spraddled unpruned branches, wild and flat.

    So we brought shovels, trenched beneath its root
    While bees still browsed the petals, roped it round
    And lashed it to the car, two hundred pounds
    Of branches, blossoms, shocky roots, and dirt.

    To make its home in shade, we had to move
    Some pachysandra and a bed of lilies.
    Now, as twilight fades, we set it in

    And water the new transplant. Mazeltov.
    Scrubbing off sweat and topsoil, all I feel is
    My back is killing me. Thank God we’re done. – Paul Breslin

    Mazeltov, indeed.

  104. lingerie says:

    How to get in touch with lingerie factories? I design lingerie and want to start my own little lingerie company. I want to sell it to high-end lingerie store, so it’s not supposed to be mass-produced. Who should I contact and how? Can I just send them my drawings and test model, or do they need a pattern?
