Listen Here.
This week, after ten years of trying the Bean and I finally gave birth to a beautiful healthy baby boy Isaac William.
I tell the story of our struggle, why we named him Isaac, our hospital stay and some very special tributes from you all.
We love all of you.

Listen here.
My best friend, since kindergarten, reminisce about the old skool days.
We are not proud of the old days. We are very fortunate not to be in prison or dead. We used to laugh about it — now we thank our lucky stars. . .

Listen Here.
LUKE: Anybody here? Hey, Old Man. You home tonight? Can You spare a minute. It’s about time we had a little talk. I know I’m a pretty evil fellow… killed people in the war and got drunk… and chewed up municipal property and the like. I know I got no call to ask for much… but even so, You’ve got to admit You ain’t dealt me no cards in a long time.
It’s beginning to look like You got things fixed so I can’t never win out. Inside, outside, all of them… rules and regulations and bosses. You made me like I am. Now just where am I supposed to fit in?
Old Man, I gotta tell You. I started out pretty strong and fast. But it’s beginning to get to me.
When does it end? What do You got in mind for me? What do I do now? Right. All right.
[Gets on knees, closes eyes and begins to pray]
LUKE: . On my knees, asking.
[Peeks up with one eye, waits. Then opens eyes and crosses arms]
LUKE: . Yeah, that’s what I thought. I guess I’m pretty tough to deal with, huh? A hard case.
[Clicks tongue]
LUKE: . Yeah. I guess I gotta find my own way.
[Headlights shine through windows, backs up]
LUKE: [Shakes head and smiles] Is that Your answer, Old Man? I guess You’re a hard case, too.
Happy Holidays from The Bean and Christiaan Huygens.

Listen here.
Post-operative Bean gives a special shout-out and thank you to everyone who wished her well during her operation.
And then it is back to Paris where Christiaan and pre-operative Bean give you a mini-tour of the Palace of Versailles.
. . .then it is off to Cimetiere de Monmarte to find the grave of the Bean’s favorite artist, Edgar Degas.
Funny postscript — At the time we thought we never found Degas grave. We actually did without knowing it. We laughed as we walked by a crypt that read “Famille de Gas.” We laughed because we thought it said “Family of Gas”
It said “Degas”
So we missed out of taking in Degas’s grave for a fart joke. . .

And stoned out of her mind. . .
The operation was far more successful than the doctor thought it would be. So very good news indeed.
I want to thank all of you, in both the real and cyber world, who have sent kind words and positive mojo.
It worked and I will always be grateful.
Talk to you soon!
Christiaan

Listen to the Podcast here.
I start off today’s show with Bishop Fulton Sheen lecturing us on, of all things, sex.
I produce a very angry rant against the Catholic Church.
As a victim of clergy sexual abuse, I express outrage at the corruptness and greed of the church.
Bean gets attacked by a security officer at Sacre’ Coeur Basillica in Paris for taking a picture. Turns out the church forbids picture taking inside the church so they can sell the picture postcards in their gift shop.
Disgusting.
I applaud Madge Weinstein of Yeast Radio for mentioning the abuse crisis on her show.
Bean and I are amazed at our visit to the Palace of Versaille in France. Simply breathtaking.
We go on a private tour of Louis XVI’s private apartments. I question some of the assertions given by our French tour guide. (Which means a history lesson to you)
I applaud Rebecca Nay of Tranny Wreck Radio for her recent surgery.
I urge everyone to listen to Marti Abernathy’s Fat Tranny Circus
I thank the PizzaBabe for all her support.
Listen to the Gay Expat.

Listen here.
Today’s show starts before the show even starts. The world famous Bean overheard me podcasting last night and takes offense to me calling her a “podcast nag.” So she called my voice mail with a response. I am a fair person, so I play her response before the show so all of you can make up your mind if she is a nag or not.
I start the official show by playing a clip from FDR.
Remember Chico and the Man? Remember Jose Feliciano?
A give a HUGE HUGE Shout Out to Tigger. He made me some fantastic and thoughtful podcast cover-up. He did not have to do that, but he did.
I am smitten with Lynette of PB& J Podcast. It makes me lament on how the Bean is a podcast nag. (Bean claims she is not a podcast nag)
I hate the greed of ABC with their Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
George Eastman charity story.
I am a hypocrite and I admit it.
I hate charity balls.
People need to volunteer more.
Try not to give people bad news — or good news.
Going to Paris soon!
Give some good mojo to the Bean — who is scheduled for surgery on December 6.

Hear Rings of Saturn #13 here.
and. . .
have your heard the HALLOcast yet?
I start the show with some very good news:
I was honored to be invited to be a member of the The Freak Network. Support the Freak Network. Support independent podcasters. Don’t let the corporate media dictate what you should think about.
While, I am honored that the PizzaBabe has asked me to join The Freak Network, it in no way changes the fact that she will have her SATURNcast Ticker Tape Parade (sponsored by Depends Underpants) on November 12.
I then begin to pour my heart out to you.
The Bean may have cancer. It was discovered in the very early, early pre-stages. (Thank God) but it means our chances of having biological children are very,very slim. She is scheduled for surgery on December 6th.
I ramble about my feelings and throw a pity party.
I discuss how that whore Madonna is allowed to adopt without going through any of the normal procedures.
I discuss, how ironic that Apple, censors the word “sperm” to “s***m” on Itunes. Aren’t they selling red iPods to promote HIV/AIDS awareness? Doesn’t it send a wrong message to censor words that need to be discussed in order to educate people about HIV/AIDS?
Bill O’Reilly, Wolf Blitzer, and the “Cheney girls“ Lynn and Mary drive me crazy.
I appluad Richard Bluestein and his podcast,Yeast Radio for interviewing a person of internatonial importance, Cindy Sheehan. If more independent podcasters and bloggers did things like this, we could make a real dent on the corporate media.
While Richard Bluestein gave an excellent interview, and I admire Cindy Sheehan, I was very concerened over her answers.
Urging people to support irrelevant third party candidates is dangerous and irresponsible. Just ask Al Gore.
Even our good friend, Teddy Roosevelt found forming a viable third party impossible.
