ADULT THEMES/MILD ADULT LANGUAGE

“I drive a 14 year-old boy and a 13 year-old girl home from school everyday.”

“Do the parents know that you do this?”

The Bitterest Pill is in a state of metamorphosis. It is slowly changing, splitting into two shows. One, The Bitterest Pill, where I tell my usual sad tales of loneliness and desperation amid the insanity of Los Angeles. The other, where I hang out with someone else and talk about loneliness and desperation…

This is one of those transitional shows, tentatively called “The Other Dan Klass Podcast.” I got a chance to hang out with my friend Tim Coyne from The Hollywood Podcast, and talk all sorts of…crap about Hollywood, bionic women, Luke Wilson, pilates mats, David Banner v. Bruce Banner, you name it.

Recorded live from the LA Podcasters Studio 101 at the Brewery in Los Angeles during the annual Brewery Spring ArtWalk.

A late (for me) recording session leads nowhere, fast. I talk about The Four Seasons in Kona, Hawaii, being ignored by the people standing right next to me, and my daughter’s new friends: the super model and the actress.

Check out: Scott Sigler (coming soon to the show), Selma Blair, and The Hollywood Podcast. Brace yourself: I am a boring blow hard.

The song: “Screaming” by Restricted, from their album Moron. Thanks, Wyatt!

Thanks for listening!

In my pre-podcasting life, I used to goof around with Flash animation. Here are a couple things I found on the servers today while not working on my taxes…

How To Clean Up American - a demo I put together to pitch a cartoon to a big dot-com back in 2000. They bit, and then bit the dust. It originally had a different head on it (the “Kurt Anchorman” head, instead of the “Cult of Dan” head. Did you know that is what it’s called?).

Live/Die - silliness while learning Flash.

Al Most Demo - part of a game I was working on with some gaming geniuses based on an old character of mine called Al Most. He is a intergalactic exterminator. Long story. We never got further than this. Life called.

Folks, holy cow…it’s an April Fools joke! Or, was it a litmus test in the guise of an April Fools joke? Nobody will ever know, including me.

I’m amazed that anyone over the age of about 16 believes anything they hear on April 1st. That being said, Brian Ibbott of Coverville got me big time. “Safety Dance is a cover? Really? Wow, I didn’t know that!” Yeesh.

No, no, no…fear not, The Bitterest Pill will continue to be free.

However, thanks to everyone for reminding me that nobody wants to pay for something they used to get for free, unless of course it’s cable tv, satellite radio or bottled water.

I know how you feel: I haven’t listened to Howard Stern since the change.

Now, for those of you who just can’t get enough, there will most likely be “Premium Content” in the coming months, available only to “Premium Subscribers:” unedited podcasts or stories from the vaults remastered, live events, video versions, etc. We’ll see. Extra fun stuff for listeners will too much time on their hands.

Coming soon: Podcast from the Big Island. We’re in Hawaii, and will be podcasting from the sunny shores of Kona. And, it’s FREE!

First the big annoucement: Yes, the future is finally here, and I am pleased to announce that The Bitterest Pill has entered the next phase of its life!

After this show, The Bitterest Pill will only be available to paid subscribers for a small fee of $2 per month! What a bargain! Now, all the wit, humor, pathos and boring guests of the original Pill, but at less than 50¢ American per show. Heck, you spend five times that every day on Starbucks! Think of this as your weekly shot of espresso in the half-caf-half-decaf-low-foam-no-fat latte you just can’t live without.

Fifty cents for a half hour show?! It’s a steal at twice the price, and yet it’s not twice the price!

Thanks to my new friends at The Podcast Media Group for setting up this new for-pay system.

I discuss why my wife wants someone to put her in the zoo, the time my mom gave me typhoid and cholera and what my daughter says when you shut off the computer.

WARNING: I take the Lord’s name in vain. Three times. Once in my best Nick Nolte impression…
