We have random, yet engaging conversations ranging from the depths of creative dispair to the plasticity of Hollywood and the art of Sushi.

We also talk to Steve Rio about ‘The Cheaper Show‘ and the upcoming announcement of participating artists.  Steve gives tips on how to negotiate the throngs of thousands of people that will descend on this artistic Mecca in June.

As per usual CJ The Sock Monkey hangs in the studio; just in case things get to bananas, she will eat them.

Here is the archived episode, may take a minute to load.

In studio we have David Granier creator of ‘Stand up for Mental Health‘ and Alumni Robbie Engelquist. We talk about the concept of the program and how it has helped those with mental illness cope with their day to day lives and also how it is opening minds of the professionals. Also, Nelson Bardon and Melanie Rose share a bit of material.

In addition, CJ the Sound Therapy Sock Monkey makes her first public statement since the incident last Thursday on April 1.

The BalconiesMusical guest ‘The Balconies’ on their first visit to the wet coast explain what type of Balcony each of them are and how that influences their music.   They also share their fascinating love for squid.  Join us in the studio for a ton of mental funny.

While CJ has now been released, the authorities have now added her to their database. She has accepted that being a political dissident and social activist has made her a target. She has been asked by her counsel to only speak through one trusted source, which is myself (woot, woot).

So please excuse her if she appears rude. We know CJ will never be truly free, however we can all fight with her in causes she believes in, if we choose. You can always strongly voice your opinion fully knowing that she won’t talk behind your back or in front of it. Because she can’t, someone has actually sewed her mouth shut.

That being said CJ will assiduously live the best life she can under the circumstances.  She says each should value the choice you have while you can. The story continues, but we thank you for all your love!

So I’m at this airport and I go through one of those new full body scanners.  I was fine but my carry-on flagged some alarms, so they emptied all my stuff out.  They preceeded to take a few items; a book, bottle of vitamins and my recently acquired Sock Monkey named CJ.  They let me through, get my info however have now taken my newfound friend in for chemical testing. Apparently it has contraband on it??? Umm, Really?   No word on when I get it back, just like call in 12 hours or something.

C’mon its just a harmless Sock Monkey, give it back.   They’ve DETAINED my Sock Monkey pffft.  Well, I took some videos of the whole thing, I’ll post it when I get a chance.

I’m posting more details, including videos as I get them, on the facebook group. Please Free CJ!
