Hey, They Clicked

2005-12-01T20:00:00.000-06:00

On #202, we learned of trouble in the online dating world and I expressed skepticism about the biz. One listener had real good luck and wrote in to tell us about it...and do the unthinkable: try to analyze why Mr. Nice Guy remains perpetually single. Yeah, this is why we file the show under 'comedy.'

Getting to Know You (Part Two)

2005-11-30T07:22:00.000-06:00

More show survey results, in fact the real meaty parts, no room for baloney here: these are the essay questions.

-M!

Getting to Know You (Part One)

2005-11-29T22:15:00.000-06:00

We begin poring over results of the recent MNGS listener survey. Age and gender numbers, locations, as well as how you feel about specific show elements. Sharpen them pencils and hang on.

-M!

Let's Relax

2005-11-28T07:16:00.000-06:00

I recall an old terrestrial radio jingle that began, 'Wow, what a weekend...' We might wanna sing it today, but necessarily intending it in a good way. So fast, so furious, so calorie and shopping-intensive. Take deep breaths, let's relax. (But I ain't coming over to rub your feet)

-M!

Nyooz

2005-11-27T17:31:00.000-06:00

X(box) marks the spot, which this week seems to be right on the greedy asses of Messrs. Gate$ and Ballbuster, a fine career choice for noone: owning a bar, People pix Matthew, but do people really care anymore, and McDonald's comes up with the perfect gift for everyone longing for a heart attack.

-M!

Love, Just a Click Away?

2005-11-26T18:39:00.000-06:00

After a very rough 36 hours, I wonder if things would be different if there was a Mrs. Nice Guy...uh, Nice Chick...Nice Woman; y'know. As we learn from the courts, the news, and personal experience, turning to the Web or other electronic means of communication are probably not the way to make that happen.

-M!

Cool Weather, Cool Web Sites

2005-11-25T19:43:00.000-06:00

A $100 laptop, tips for toy shoppin', the difference between a sweet potato and a yam, animals predicting disasters, and more reasons why Canada is cool. Please tell a friend about the show and - for a limited time only - vist the home page, donate/tip $2 or more and get a free MNGS fridge magnet.

-M!

So Thankful

2005-11-24T16:30:00.000-06:00

Show #200. Wow. Perfectly-timed, too, for deep reflections on Tgvg in the USA. Should we really be thankful for all the cheap junk people will be swarming the stores for tomorrow? Is it okay if it's the newly-opened 'Marvin Galleria?' One thing is for sure: there's definitely something to celebrate today and I've got all the details for you. Happppy Thanksgiving [and if you're not in the US, ooops, sorry. You're probably much better off].

-M!

Show Notes

2005-11-23T22:16:00.000-06:00

Wow, one step closer to fame, but I promise I won't let it go to my head. Okay, maybe I'll try to let it go a teensie bit to my wallet as I discuss the touchy issue of 'monetizing' this epic podcast. Believe me, it doesn't change my contempt for the dollar...and wish that we could all go frolic and live in the forest off lottery winnings.

-M!

Workday Blues

2005-11-21T20:29:00.000-06:00

What a day...uuuggghh, what a day. Can I turn a phrase, or what?

-M!

Festive Food for Thought

2005-11-20T19:43:00.000-06:00

As Thanksgiving Day approaches here in the USA, I let you in on the planning process I go through for a warm, wonderful, meaningful, significant holiday celebration. Also, a look at a dining phenomenon that makes no sense whatsoever.

-M!

Co-media-n (Part Two)

2005-11-19T23:08:00.000-06:00

Part two of a conversation with Dr. Alan Ray, comedy writer and PhD broadcasting professor. What happens in those broadcasting classrooms...and what does he think about podcasting?

-M!

Co-media-n (Part One)

2005-11-18T21:37:00.000-06:00

On show 195, we begin a two-part chat with a guy who has a very impressive resume and equally impressive insights into what's up with the electronic media and our world.

-M!

Family Matters

2005-11-16T07:43:00.000-06:00

Y'know, we really are part of one big 'family,' aren't we, after all? You're sitting there thinking, 'Well, if we are, then you're several times removed!'

-M!

Showbiz News

2005-11-15T19:46:00.000-06:00

Covergirl Jenn, Kenny the human hat rack, Cameron and Justin so much in love, Madonna's portable bathroom, and why-oh-why M-C-A?

Fun with Sociology (Part Two)

2005-11-15T07:00:00.000-06:00

On show 192, we wrap-up our look at a fascinating article on women behaving badly. Perhaps a future article will explain why they won't behave badly (in a good way) for me.

-M!

Fun with Sociology (Part One)

2005-11-14T09:57:00.000-06:00

If you've come a long way, baby, why are you behaving like such a sleaze? We consider a fascinating, serious article on Girls Gone Raunch.

-M!

There's News

2005-11-13T19:45:00.000-06:00

Judy Miller quits after becoming - or unbecoming to - the news, fusion fun coming from Coca Cola, Mary Mapes turns out to be okay, as she joins me in administering a nice verbal kick to the horny, corporate ass of Less Moonbeam, and the science of brain reactions to humour by gender. Also, on the lookout for the most annoying bank robber in history.

-M!

'Buddy'

2005-11-12T19:45:00.000-06:00

Remember...and smile.

-M!

Variousity

2005-11-12T18:01:00.000-06:00

With a small, reluctant nod to Detroit, we celebrate a momentous occasion together and wonder about a bunch of colleagues in California doing the same thing this weekend. Also, SONY lacks wisdom and Audible comes up with a disonant idea.

-M!

Forthcoming Book Fun

2005-11-10T21:21:00.000-06:00

60's music legend resurfaces, Dave Barry on your finances, academic dude

and sell it, and Dr. Haura bends over to expose some deep new thoughts in
hucksterism.

It's Simple: Rest Mind...

No elaborate description necessary. Just one word: enjoy.

-M!

So Noted (Part Two)

2005-11-07T20:13:00.000-06:00

The unusual: Mr. Nice Guy socializes. The very usual: Mr. Nice Guy vents
about terretrial radio jerks. But, hey, this month, I've got *real* good
reason to.

-M!

So Noted (Part One)

2005-11-06T20:48:00.000-06:00

The art of broadcast interviewing and the joy of vocabulary-building.
Please tell a friend about the show. If they don't understand podcasting,
why not take a mont to explain how easy it is: visit a site [like mine,
f'rinstance] and click. They can work on the more complex stuff later.
Let's hook 'em first!!

-M!

That's Yentertainmet

2005-11-03T20:47:00.000-06:00

The Web can be a blessing or a curse. Let's try to unearth some good stuff. Help in recognizing Internet scams, the figures in for an unu$ual group of celebritie$, making sense of the controversial Wikipedia, celebrating Diwali, and a new game that's taking the world by storm. On show 182, are we having fun, or what?

-M!

Laughing at the Spam

2005-11-03T08:57:00.000-06:00

2005-10-29T20:31:00.000-05:00

The scary genius of rock 'n' roll, peeling away the layers of our culture, the true magic of this music, and the disonance of the shameful Judith Miller and what's up at the 'Newspaper of Record.'

-M!

Always Magic... (3)

2005-10-29T20:25:00.000-05:00

Like, the Showbiz News

2005-10-24T20:11:00.000-05:00

Stevie Wonder resurfaces, Pink ties the knot with a prominent Vegas entrepreneur, Madonna visits NYC and looks like crap. Also, Kelly Ripa's clothing allowance, Al Roker's brilliant reality TV concept, Michael starts packin' for Bahrain, and his sister Janet is outed as a mommie.

-M!

Promo Seltzer

2005-10-23T11:50:00.000-05:00

It's #172! Doing this show is a joy, even hunting down the material for it (hey, I'm a librarian: finding info's my job). The tuff nut to crack in this podcast biz, tho', is promotion. How do I spread the word, grow the audience, make it bigger? Some ideas and show notes.

-M!

Your Table is Waiting

2005-10-22T16:58:00.000-05:00

A look at a fun story from the local newspaper - but really 'duplicated' in cities all over the world - prompts one to ask about a particular group of usually small business owners: how freakin' stupid do these people think we are???

-M!

Message Amidst the Strangeness?

Love that Lisa Lampanelli, an Arab version of The Simpsons debuts, blessed event for Dr. Mayim Bialik, Nelly Furtado's back in the studio, and Boy George hits bottom again. Also, ASSlee Simpson's new CD and bra, Babs Streisand's new CD, Ronald Isley's tax troubles, and actress Keira Knightley's butt.

-M!

We'll Always Have Paris?

2005-10-16T20:11:00.000-05:00

All kinds of 'Paris things' to report: a fan letter to MNG from the City of Lights, bony, dopey Ms. Hilton tries to mend fences with Nicole...because she realizes the dispute was so petty, or maybe to ensure that The Simple [-Minded] Life lives on? Also, Fox says no to the show, so the producers are shopping it to the WB and NBC, where Matt L's probably already bending over, and Paris makes the cover of two prestigious mags.

-M!

The Ultimate Hookup?

2005-10-15T20:48:00.000-05:00

Results of a new Playgirl mag poll have me wondering what the heck I am: a woman's ideal? A scruffy, manly man? An out-of-date metrosexual? None of the above??? Consider the facts and let me know what you think.

-M!

The News

2005-10-14T23:01:00.000-05:00

It's show 164: woweeee! No encore for Kerry, please, a Russian psychic who probably is much less wooden than Kerry, and a new London tourist attraction in the works that will be a whole lot more fun than standing in a crowd waitin' for a glimpse of Prince Chuckie.

-M!

Cool, Cool Web Sites

2005-10-11T20:29:00.000-05:00

Updating the dictionary, looking too closely at candy and the smiling faces in congress, presidential family trees, classic Motown, independent flicks, and kudos to Kurt V.

-M!

Sunday Wrap-Up

2005-10-09T21:40:00.000-05:00

It's show 162, where we hear just a few more sound bytes from the trip to Yatlanta, and the plague of sycophancy hits hard where we'd least expect it: 'the academy.'

-M!

On Loquation Some More

2005-10-09T11:01:00.000-05:00

Gettin' too cheesy, backing out of a CNN tour, downtown restaurant pricing, important hotel travel advice, but the free "entertainment" it prevents; my 'luck' seems to prevent it, regardless.

-M!

On Loquation

2005-10-08T21:27:00.000-05:00

Your professionally-developed, well-travelled, sophisticate of a host checks-in from on location today. Put down that 'Do Not Disturb' sign: we're about to have some fun!

Yentertainment News Jackpot

2005-10-02T21:09:00.000-05:00

Lookout, stand back, I'm on a roll. Y'couldn't make stuff up this good. Paris and Paris: full of contradictions (among other things), Fantasia didn't write the book, Demi and Asston nuptial details, Tara Reid's career, Whitney Houston's choppers, precautions for the Stones tour, and child rearing wisdom from Courtney Love's dad.

-M!

Catch-All Two

2005-09-29T18:41:00.000-05:00

Add Dr. Phil McGoo to the list of coddled celebrities, crystal meth persuasion, and Micro$oft $trike$-out with yet another product. We suggest a better alternative that doesn't involve enriching the greedy hothead $teve Ballbu$ter in Redmond.

-M!

Catch-All One

2005-09-28T20:19:00.000-05:00

Show note, life note on a total lack of kindness from folks you'd expect so much better from, another attempt by unions to organize at Wal-Mart and the immediate manure in response from Bentonville, remembering Don Adams, and Laura just smiles her way through a life where money means more than caring.

-M!

The Poop on Sirius, cont'd.

2005-09-28T10:41:00.000-05:00

What Sirius is doing to comedy is a tragedy, why an exec there apparently lives in a NYC vacuum, a world of his own, and how it seems to be indicative of a company in trouble.

-M!

The Poop on Sirius

2005-09-27T18:44:00.000-05:00

Hot Yentertainment News

2005-09-22T20:57:00.000-05:00

Britney gives birth and immediately parLAYS it into big TV money as the countdown to Kevin's leaving her begins, Kenny Chesney assures all the little ladies that he'll be okay despite the breakup of his four month marriage to Rennee Z., Reality Richie in trouble with the law again, and a classic TV show remembered two decades later. This show runs long; I could've carved it up into two, but I was on a roll. Please indulge me, I think it's time well-spent. Enjoy.

Ketchup on Showbiz 3

2005-09-05T21:46:00.000-05:00

Simple question: journalism or showbiz? It _can't_ be both, regardless of how much money you have, how much your ass gets kissed, or how ignorant the people watching are. Edward R. Murrow would not do an ad for cell phones. Also, fun show #140 explores the concept of 'Jumping the Shark.'

-M!

Ketchup on Showbiz 2

2005-09-04T21:53:00.000-05:00

A new 'bundle of joy' arrives at the self-indulgent, no conscience home of the Seinfelds, Ru$$ell Crowe $ettle$ with the guy he thre the phone at, MTM - America's sweetheart before and more so than Julia - due back on TV, 70s style again, and paying real close sttention to the Skoal ring on Gretchen Wilson's ass. Also, anti-war songs starting to appear and starting to turn some heads; now can we maybe start yelling louder, learn something from the 60s???

-M!

Ketchup on Showbiz 1

Re-posting this one; some may not have received it. Sorry for any duplication.
Madonna down-to-earth, Hollywood counters a weak year at the box office with the use of smaller boxes to get more of your money, the folks at Variety enter the world of mass market mags, and Soleil Moooon Pye bears the fruit of some guy's loins.

Show Notes (Part Two)

2005-08-30T21:21:00.000-05:00

The ego boost that comes with a logo, monetization, promotion and an urge to interview are the inward-looking topics for show 136. As usual, I need your advice and thank you again for bein' a part of it all.

-M!

Show Notes (Part One)

2005-08-30T21:16:00.000-05:00

Hot Summer, Cool Web Sites

2005-08-27T23:01:00.000-05:00

Oh man, the Web sure isn't like a library, regardless of what people tell you...but there's definitely some valuable material mixed in with all the nonsense. Today's good stuff includes a concise, easy-to-understand explanation of what Islam's all about, details on that dog recently cloned in South Korea, the Voting Rights Act up for renewal, what the US federal gov't has to say about the cigarette biz, and fun info on bus travel.

A serious drought in the midwest makes the one affecting my 'social life' seem pretty insignificant, that famous 'rancher' in Crawford probably can't do the math, but what the US Census Bureau figured out could make many of his hatemongering party faithful mighty unhappy, and a new product called the Jerk-O-Meter that just cries out for punch lines galore.

Payola Scanda (Un)

2005-08-13T09:46:00.000-05:00

Let's all get comfy, relax, gather 'round and ponder the sad, greedy, laughably ignorant state of radio in the USA. As the radio jingle used to say, "Wow, what a weeeeekend on The Mr. Nice Guy Showwwwwwww, nu-um-ber one-two-six!"

Luv That Web

2005-08-06T19:49:00.000-05:00

Your fave reference librarian (yeah, a bit presumptuous, but I beg you to indulge me. It's so good for my self-esteeeeem) steps up to the mic and reports on cool sites. Details on a 10th planet discovered just last month, the BBC teaches us about evolution, DIY TV on how to use your tools correctly, also, what to know about herbal supplements, the best cities for singles and another librarian somewhere here on the Web bestows a great honour upon the show.

Show #119 is jam-packed with information! High school hijinks in a heartland suburb, Micro$oft tighten$ the rein$ some more and I respond with a wonderful announcement about how this show is now done. Also, people gettin' real jumpy in London, a guy in Japan reacts oddly to the female nether region, using a new marketing strategy to sell liquor in the UK, back to Florida where a guy's been gettin' much too friendly with Fido, and more. This installment of the show runs a bit long, but I hope you'll agree it was worth it. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go burn my clothes.

Oh Canada, once again teaching the world an important lesson about caring, Georgie-Boy Pataki's presidential aspirations, why WorldCommmm's sad ex-CFO won't be livin' la vida loca in Boca and someone in Florida did something really stupid the other day (big surprise there).

Ooooh, this show makes you scintillating, a great site to visit [or should I say, 'cruise on over to this important site'], fan mail from home, the search for good coffee moves to Philadelphia...and Brazil. Also, say 'cheers' before you listen...and thanks for joining me.

On show #111, further proof that "the world is built on baloney:" a ridiculous limousine tooling around the neighbourhood and maybe gettin' just too darn comfy at the dentist's office.

PS--Odeo.com, which debuted just last week, is supposed to be a cool new podcast directory+ created by the same guy who invented Blogger. They tell me if I insert the link below into this post, The Mr. Nice Guy Show will appear in their directory. Okay, here goes...

Time Out

2005-07-16T12:50:00.000-05:00

Some smiles (I hope) and some music. Finding a song to play here occasionally gets kinda dicey. "Good" songs seem rare. If you know of some upbeat, fun, "podsafe" music, feel free to drop me a note with details.

Thanks for listening!
