Very, very special show: the one and only Al Green is here!!! But first, the monologue…
Have you ever been upset at someone because they wrote a demeaning article about one of your players in a semi-major newspaper? Take the Mike Gundy Anger Management program! First, let’s see what provokes him. Now let’s see the proper way to handle it. Very good, Mike. Very good.
And now, our special guest:
“Well good!”
Yes, thank you Mr. Green, you may sit down now.
And now our special secti… What is it Mr. Green? Listen, I know Chuck Norris is scary, but you’re a legend. Okay, okay, you may go to the bathroom while we read these random facts about the gay Jack Bauer.
Yes, Chuck Norris will even kill your dog.
“I’m just trying to keep my hip from hoppin’”
Glad you’re back Mr. Green. Take a seat we were just about to talk about you again.

Sorry for the delay… Technical difficulties, you know. Yeah, right, like we could have technical difficulties. Actually, Hollow and EJ are becoming so popular, he hardly has time for us anymore.
In this show, we talk about everyone’s favorite social networking sites, and those that only “older” folks know about:
Here’s a NYTimes article that shows trends of VC’s and social networking sites and how they are tending to give more to sites that cater to “older people.”
The scandal that rocked the A/V world: PatriotsGate!!!
We here at RI also obtained a copy (through less-than-professional journalistic means) of the video the Pats were using to spy on the Jets. Here it is.

Special Guest Correspondent Shelbi Hayes serves up some Hard-Hitting News: Airline Girl (aka Kyla Ebbert - No relation to Roger… or Siskel… or Roeper.) Here’s Ms. Ebbert on the Today Show. Oh, Lauer, you dirty, dirty man.
Sponsors: Pidgin; ProTools; Airlines, in general - keep it classy; words, specifically über, hyperbole, ether, and lexicon.
End up with Hollow’s “Remedy.” Download the entire song from Myspace.com/HollowRock.
Eds. Note: Pidgin’s website was incorrectly given in the podcast as pidgin.com. It is actually pidgin.im. Please follow the link above. My bad, dog. My bad.

THIS IS THE 100TH POST ON SOLID ROOTS!!! (just a sidenote)
Whooo!!! An hour long. I just couldn’t bring myself to cut out any more than I did. It was 1:30 unedited, so I cut out 1/3 of it. Okay, enough about you, onto the notes:
Apple.com and all their announcements: iPod, iPhone, iTunes, etc. (yes, I know the iPod and iTunes link are the same, but I’m a partial Type A…)
Sidenote: my iMac probably came out around 2000 but the “colored” line was first introduced circa 1998.
Fake Steve. We love you Fake Steve, thanks for the cash. Oh, and the iPods.
