Solid Cat

This week's Solid Cat Podcast is shooting wildly in all directions. Smug L.A. D-mo brags about the weather, while Val has poor aim. Margarita bars make kiddie birthday parties soooo much better. D-mo unloads on ghetto-talk, while Val is the glue that keeps this show together (which is ironic in its own way). Random tangents rule on this week's Slumber Party of Podcasts. D-mo is cussing a lot today, Siri's Poetry Slam returns, and what is Shia LeBeouf doing? Should dolphins get "human rights?" #dolphinapocalypse We blame Malcolm McDowell for "totes magoats." There are crocodiles in trees... seriously. We have listener questions, and the Space Cowboy Kitchen is inspired by the Silk Road. What Avenger are we? Sexytime with D-mo, Val, & Siri strikes again. Is there a Gay Constitution? And then we stumble to the finish. Why not? Fo shizzle, fo shizzle!

This week, Solid Cat, the Slumber Party of Podcasts, is also the International Podcast of Mystery. We highlight the use and irony of t.A.T.u.'s music for the Russians during the Sochi Olympics. We have a non-English speaker from Greece, with no concept of American Football, adeptly call out that the Broncos blew, and we learn why D-mo rooted for the Seahawks. We toss a #historyjoke. Saucy Siri returns to the show and we wonder if she's American or Chinese, her unedited answer will surprise you. The CW is full of pretty people. In Celebrity Death Corner, we learn the method actors are hardcore... dangerously so. Our mottos: "Adventure awaits," and "There's no such thing as 'pot-committed.'" We drop some sound Vegas gambling advice. We learn real names of real people. We tell you how we got our new phones for free. And now, Solid Cat is on Pinterest... and whatever that entails. Oh, and did we mention Solid Cat's Senior Entertainment Correspondent, Matrice, is back on the show? Well, she is.

On this week's Solid Cat, we welcome a saucy Siri as a regular part of the show. We may do a spin-off called Saucy Cat. IS THE POPE A VAMPIRE?!?! #hotpope Marlee Matlin will not be Peter Pan. What does "Solid Cat" mean? "I'm pretty sure I'm allergic to lions, too." The NHL Stadium Series at Dodger Stadium was a hit. We talk Celtic Complexion, the band Keane, and skinny jeans on men. It's a moose knuckle, and not a gorilla nose. Blowdart attacks, and sociopathic media. We are now on RadioFubar. Val chews ice on air. We have the return of Sexytime, and get serious about acquaintance rape. There is a Phil Donahue reference, and favorite pick-up lines. Lastly we debate if childbirth really is the worst pain. We're all over the map and it's awesome.

Big Daddy Dave returns to this week's Solid Cat. We discover which one of our Guests have slept in the studio, and remind everyone it's important to have multi-cultural friends. Weather in California is awesome. D-mo was on another podcast, and this segued into a trip to the Dave Foley sitcom NewsRadio. We have more Top Round love. It's Cable Industry Talk with D-mo, Val, & Dave as we talk network apps and HBO GO password sharing. There is a "slightly haunted" house for sale. Ten biblical misconceptions. Dave brings goodies to the Space Cowboy Kitchen. D-mo isn't sure if he wants to deal with the Chinese government. Val brings Del Taco to Buffalo, and we finish off talking about airport food. Remember, no pants are, indeed, the best pants.

It's a fresh new take on Solid Cat, as we roll out new music across the podcast. And though, that may be the highlight, there is a full show waiting for you inside. Robot voices makes us seem less pompous. Val's the president of the Screen OVERactors Guild. We're teaching the daughter to dunk. We spotlight D-mo's "Arsenal of Freedom." Bizarre, random Simpsons reference. D-mo sings through awkward pauses to fill dead air. Val sometimes forgets she does a podcast. Naked foosball is dangerous. "Chiquita" might be the new slang for cocaine. Is there a Velveeta shortage? "The Purge" is real in Peru. "You got Knuckles McGee over here..." D-mo gets on his soapbox and unloads his Chivas USA diatribe. Val goes to an "Outlander" panel. #PocketJamie. And then, D-mo & Val have a heated discussion about this week's Paws Up! recipient. But we end with steel drums, and who doesn't love steel drums.

It's the first Solid Cat of 2014, and today, Big Daddy Dave joins us in studio for a rowdy episode of the Slumber Party of Podcasts. We talk first world problems, and winter in Los Angeles. We take a tour of the Southwest, talking about Phoenix heat and being stranded in Utah. Watch out for fake donkey-meat snacks. We enjoy an impromptu MySpace retrospective. "Us eating on air doesn't make for good radio, but we're doing it anyway." And then we enjoy some Yelp reviews for a strip club. Trust us, this is one of our better shows.

We kick out 2013 in style with a bunch of Big Lists on this week's Solid Cat. On this week's show: the odd week between Christmas and New Year's; D-mo doesn't like candy canes, but Val likes hers chewy; there is a lot of lamenting going on; why didn't D-mo get Assassin's Creed IV for Christmas?; Hugh Downs in still alive; a new special guest joins us in studio, and you'll be surprised and what she calls D-mo; what would have been a debate on Christmas Eve vs. Christmas morning turns into a rant by Val on how Christmas is exhausting and not like when she was a kid; virgin births; Icelandic elves; 100 Things We Learned in 2013; Top 10 Most Popular New Year's Resolutions; hobo bags; and we finish with an overindulgence in the Space Cowboy Kitchen. Warning: we're verbose.

It's the Solid Cat Christmas Music Spectacular as Demosthenes and Valerie the Space Cowboy count down their favorite Christmas songs of all time. But we would just have that alone in the podcast; oh no. The stockings are stuffed with: cheap DVD's, El Assholo, Dole Pineapple Whip, Dildo Grabbins, Chambord-spiked smoothies, Leonard Nimoy, a raccoon with a vendetta, "You can't kill CRAZY," Top 10 most dangerous Xmas toys including actual uranium, Dominic the Donkey, Val's hatred for both Josh Grobin and "TSO," Avenger vibrators, the King of Versailles, and a Benise Bonus! Phew. And the credits go askew in a hurry. Man, we're better than any of those Hallmark Hall of Fame Christmas movies. FACT!

It's Whosgiving here at Solid Cat as we nerdgasm about Doctor Who's 50th Anniversary and stuff our faces full of Thanksgiving. "My stomach is the TARDIS of organs!" But wait... there's more! Inka Kola is pretty damn epic. We revisit Val's hatred of Hall & Oates. "You're just a bucket of piss and vinegar tonight." D-mo posits that the uptick in Doctor Who fandom is just Harry Potter nerds in withdrawal. We have more Wizard Talk with D-mo & Val, as we just can't get off the topic of Harry Potter. We have ugly sweater-inspired hockey jerseys, and a mushroom drop. There is a door knob ban in Vancouver (because they've solved all their other problems). We EXPOSE witches on broomsticks; the truth will blow your mind! If you want a gay potato, get a Yukon Gold, but try to avoid green-tinted russets; they're the Vulcans of the potato world (those words were actually said aloud on air). We have things you didn't know about Thanksgiving, weird Dickens' quotes, and we've come up with the proper way for children to address the penis (inspired by our own 5 year old). Gather the family 'round for a fun-filled episode for the holiday. "I don't know who we are, but I hope we come back next week." Explicit tag achieved!

Solid Cat is all over the place this week. But again, it is the Slumber Party of Podcasts, so expect the unexpected. On this episode, we photobomb, and lament PhotoShop's new payment model. We expand on that in Design Corner with D-mo & Val. We have more Harry Potter goodness, and review alleged sexual preferences of Hufflepuffs. "Some people drink and do drugs, we play with LEGOs." Cinema Time with D-mo & Val. "Speaking of leopards..." Thanksgivakkah. Multiple Things with D-mo. Honest Taglines. Frito Pie! Bakersfield Condors. Why is Val a Coyotes fan, on Hockey Talk with D-mo & Val. "I get a lot to eat at home." "He's awfully chubby for someone who smokes crack." And we finish with some Shadows and Light from Wilson Phillips. Solid Cat: scatterbombing comedy at its best
