i think i found a name for the listeners of this podcast. "stabilizers"! what do you think? tweet at me... @johnnygoudie
hello my friends! can you believe my show got cancelled last night because of wind and cold? it's may in texas!!!!! anyway, i'm sure i'll get over it. i ended up falling asleep before 10 which is why i'm up so early. before i fell asleep, i saw "silver linings playbook". it's good. no one ever talks about the "dirty dancing" sub-plot... i thought that was kind of weird. that jennifer lawrence has a nice butt too. no one ever told me about that either. it was a nice surprise. it was also nice to see robert deniro acting again and not just making that "robert deniro" face for a paycheck.
