#120: I Talk About Puppies/Melissa’s Back

backWhy, why, why do I have to lose my voice every time I get even the smallest cold? Can’t you just keep your little snot-faucet of a kid home from school for a day or two so I don’t have to suck a Ludens for five days?

I talk about American Idle, I ask Tim Coyne to blog about me if I commit suicide, and how you need to conduct yourself around my wife from now.

I try to come clean on the truth about how I can talk about how terrible my wife is all the time.

I love Chocolate Rain. This kid is my breathing brother.

  1. hey
    Dan i can’t seem to download the episode, i just get an 404:
    The requested URL was not found on this server.

    and when i go to the episode on premiumcast.com, i can’t even find a link to the mp3

    am i doing something wrong?

  2. I was putting the show together late last night, and AFTER having uploaded and all that noticed that the file had a skip in it.

    Long story short…I wonder if your feed is looking for the original, skipping file (which is gone) and not the new file.

    Refresh your feed, that should take care of it. If not let me know.

    How do you usually download the shows? Letting me know will help me avoid this problem in the future.

    Thanks for subscribing to the Premium Prescription, and THANKS FOR LISTENING!

    Signed up for the premium podcast — check. (Week or so ago…)
    Registered at premiumcast.com — check.
    How/where the heck do I download it? Can’t find any link on the Pill page at premiumcast.com…

    So noobish…

    Help?!?

  4. First rule of The Bitterest Pill… don’t talk about The Bitterest Pill.
    (Mulling over further comment, to follow).
    Kudos, Dan! Thanks for putting this out.
    Worth every penny.

  5. The new episode cut off in itunes at about the 20 minute mark, right in the middle of a conversation about American Idol. I’ll try refreshing when i get home as i guess this was down to the initial bug.

    Also, Helga rules!

  6. Update. Nothing I do can elicit a podcast from itunes that lasts longer than 20.21 minutes, then it just cuts off. Refreshing does nothing.

    Dan/anyone, can you help? If it helps, I DL via itunes on an iMac. Usually, if there is an error in a podcast, a repost helps.

    Thanks in advance.

    I just tried this and got a full download. If it doesn’t work, let me know right away at “dk @ danklass .com:” (so to speak):

    1) In your iTunes podcast library, delete the SHORT FILE of #120. Not the whole podcast listing, just the one show.

    2) Unsubscribe to the Premium Feed. (button in lower left)

    3) Re-subscribe. The latest show (#120) SHOULD start to download.

    Not sure why you’re having trouble. I have to assume it’s because of changed the main feed after the original (bad) show file was uploaded.

    Let me know if this works, Wayne. Cool? Yeah, baby.

    THANKS FOR LISTENING. Well, thanks for trying…

  8. First of all, the Premium thing worked totally smoothly for me. I subscribe using Itunes.

    Second, if you opt for the rickety stool & noose all I can promise you is a tweet with a link to Levitra. If you leave me your VW then I’ll step it up to a blog post.

    Third, American Idol makes me cry also but I cry all the time.

  9. Hey Dan, you give us the ‘pill’ free and then once we are hooked you ask for payment? CLEVER!! I jest, obviously, but now there is a new pill out and I can’t nosey into your life. I need to get my hubby onto this as I am basically computer illiterate. But there seems to be a few people on here desperate for there fix of the BP! I don’t know how you sleep at night!!

  10. Wow. That was a dollar well-spent. Great storytelling. And glad you’ve (mostly) got your voice back.

    Puppies. It’s all about puppies.

  11. Sure, Try to show some love and caring for a brother and get dissed…..

    Nice going… see if I’m nice to you ever again.

  12. Hmm … i listened to #121 fine but cant seem to access #120…is it missing…tried refreshing itunes several times with no luck. i want my BITTEREST PILL!
    are you fixing it?
    keep up the good work Dan.

    I would try to old Unsubscribe-Resubscribe trick. Use the button in the lower left when in your podcast library. If that doesn’t work, let me know.

    THANKS FOR LISTENING!

  14. OK, so I can’t believe no one has asked about the ‘album art’ for episode #120! Where did that image come from? Who’s back is that? Surely, not Rodeo-Shirt-Girl’s??

  15. Dan,

    Best episode ever, you summed relationships and marriage up perfectly. Ok so I’m going to ask the same question Jon D asked, well is it Rodeo-Shirt-Girls back?

    Thanks, glad I could support one of the best podcasts.

  16. Dude, I share your affinity for the Chocolate Rain guy (Tay Zonday?)…just listen to that song one time, and it will loop in your head until you can barely breathe. Anyone that can make a hit like that deserves some serious commendation.
