W8 Loss Wednesday #6 - A Ride-Along and a Movie (plus bonus!)
Wednesday, May 14, 2008
This was a light week, which meant I got heavier. I have to first read the Buff Dad book before I can apply it, right? So that's all I did up until Sunday. I started the Buff Dad program in earnest on Monday. That means Fury saves the day again by producing his own movie for your enjoyment: Playmobil: The Ultimate Battle.

And for those of you who missed it (which is pretty much everyone, since BlogTalkRadio was having technical difficulties during our broadcast!), I have the recorded version of my radio interview from Soapbox Radio. Soapbox Mom told me last night that there were actually 22 callers waiting on the line trying to talk to me! And I know a bunch of you hung out in the chat room waiting an entire hour for the sound to come on. WOW. I DO feel like a rockstar. Thank you ALL, whoever you are! (and it was totally cool that Secret Agent Mama and Kimmylyn did manage to get through). And if that didn't convince you to waste a good hour listening to me talk about myself, Mr Lady joins us for the last 15 minutes or so. And she reveals the origins of her name (I knew that would convince you).

Since I was up at one AM anyway, I listened to the broadcast. Very cool; too bad about the technical difficulties. I am going to have to search your archives for that "Total Recall" news post you did, since we never got to hear the rest. I won't reveal the spoiler yet though, tempting as it may be...
-----
[BusyDad] Thanks for listening, Tom! Hey, if you can't count on technology messing up, what can you count on?
Fury comes up with some awesome stuff! I think I laughed so hard blood came out of my butt too!
-----
[BusyDad] That kid is the king of random. Seriously, blood out of the butt. I couldn't script that if I tried!!
There is no denying that your McParty Shoes rock. I'm just glad you found the other one before you left the party...it would be a sin to lose one of those babies.
I love the shoutout...especially TODAY because today is my real BIRTHDAY!!
-----
[BusyDad] HAPPY BIRTHDAY McMOMMY! Yeah, in my old age, I can only take one McParty a year. I would have hated to buy a new pair. Those took me ages to break in!
Hmm i'll have to look out for that podcast next time since everyone seems to want to join the party. Hope you have better luck next week on weight loss wednesday.
-----
[BusyDad] I'm down to do another, anytime Soapbox Mom (or anyone else wants). I had a lot of fun. And I am hardcore on the Buff Dad thing right now. Weight will be lost. Buffness will be attained.
I tried calling in, but since there was like a 20 second difference in time, you guys had already moved on. Oh well, I was just going to say Hi anyhow :)
And, I love Fury's movie...and all the blood. Poor horse.
-----
[BusyDad] It would have been nice if you got through! Next time, hopefully. Yeah, Fury just knows how to gain audience sympathy, doesn't he?
You did an awesome job! You are a natural. Can't wait to tune in again next week.
-----
[BusyDad] Since this one did manage to get recorded after all, I don't think there will be re-do next week. But if there is, you'll find out about it! Thanks!! I guess I really do like talking and writing endlessly. Good thing I have a blog.
I want to ride the train to work. I work at home. Perhaps I should go downtown, ride the lightrail back and forth, and then come back? Hmm...
-----
[BusyDad] That will be fun, oh perhaps, 1.5 times ;)
Tooo funny! excellent soundtrack, for a second I thought it was fury's feet walking, then I realized it was too stable. You must look like a real dork holding a camera to yourself at the metro jim hahah! And gasp! my nephew killed a horse??! At least he sought revenge...he's much too cute, and definitely saved your video :)
-----
[d Bro] I look like a dork anyway. Might as well do something with it.
I don't envy your commute! I live 5 minutes from the office - lucky me. Was that an After Burner video game in the background of Fury's video? Sweet! Keep us posted on Buff Dad - you have me wondering if I ought to get my big rear out there and try it, too!
-----
[BusyDad] YES! That is Afterburner. I wasted all my lunch money in college playing that game, so when I saw someone selling it on Craigslist, I jumped on it! And the Buff Dad program isn't too bad. I've been on it hardcore for almost a week, and I'm not totally hating life.
No doubt about it, you guys are awesome. Few things... I know that train station!! LOL. AND??? I love that rocking sheep. Sweeeeeet.
-----
[BusyDad] That's right, neighbor! Sierra Madre Villa station. Cool sheep eh? Fury has totally outgrown it, but I won't let d Wife give it away.
OH bloody eyes and butts... a sneak peak of what's to come from my own little Prince. Fun stuff. I love his squeaky voice and I want to bite his cheeks (have I said that before??) I thought the "Clink, Clink" of the sword fighting action was very realistic.
-----
[BusyDad] Funny how Fury has a smoker's voice eh? I squeezed his cheeks for you this morning. I said "that was from Mommica" and he said "why?"
I'm glad there will be a way to listen to it!
-----
[BusyDad] Hope you were able to catch it :)
I forgot how huge those commuter trains are.
OMG!!! "Blood coming out of his eyes"...so not PG ;)
Congrats on your interview. I love that MrLady was revealed!
-----
[BusyDad] Thanks Sandy! Had fun doing it. And "I don't know where he picked up that kind of behavior"
Fully loaded post here... that's quite a commute, but I guess compared to your previous one, not so bad?
Fury is brilliant, blood, butts, maybe NC 17 LOL!
And congrats on the radio interview .... you did awesome, and as the host says, this is just the start of much bigger things for you!
-----
[BusyDad] Thank you Karen :) I do hope so, because how FUN would that be?
Great video. Glad to hear the lawn is still green-ish. running commentary from video to video seems to increase the sticky factor and makes people want to tune in to see the latest updates or hear about the latest progress. Fury cracks me up. What an imagination.
-----
[BusyDad] Thanks Scott! Yup, taking a page from the old time Cliffhanger 101 book. Will the grass get greener? Will it stay the same? Will it *gasp* dry out? Tune in next week for more exciting adventures in lawncare!
Hah, okay so I just spent about an hour and a half on your blog... not only catching up on older posts, but listening to the entire show, since I couldn't tune in on Tuesday. (just as well!)
You were great! I can see where Fury gets his onscreen persona; you both are wonderful to watch and listen to.
Loved your Bee Gees walk and vid of the trains. We don't have those up here!
-----
[BusyDad] That's got to be a record! You truly rock for hanging out at my place this long. That's superhuman.
If there's every anything I can help you with in terms of health/fitness advice, please feel to stop by my blog and contact me. Best of luck with your training!
-----
[BusyDad] Thanks man! Getting other perspectives on training can help alot. I never stop asking.
Bwaaahhhh that is too funny. Blood coming out his butt. What a character you have there. My 3 year old thinks he is hysterical.
-----
[BusyDad] I apologize in advance for any butt trauma his toys may sustain from this point on.
