James opens the show by making the drug hounds next door bark, then he sings a song called 'Dummy it Up" as an ode to the dogs
(see web site: www.jameswhittingham.com).

Drug dealers next door make James get sick of the smell of marijuana.

Podcasters Across Borders conference coming up in Kingston.

The difference between dogs and hounds.

Scientists have actually claimed they have a blueprint for a cloaking device that could make people invisible.

Jay gets a popcorn machine, and other materialistic pursuits made possible by the internet.

REGINA, CANADA -- Web entrepreneur and part time porn star James Whittingham has discovered the second mouse to inhabit his tiny York Street address.

"Frankly I was surprised when Jan told me she thought we had a mouse, but then Softest, our cat, started keeping all night vigils outside the cupboard below the kitchen sink," said Whittingham.

Whittingham said it took about five nights of trying to catch the vermin in a live, so-called 'humane' mouse trap.

"I thought maybe the mouse we caught and released a couple of years ago might have just come back," said Whittingham.

Whittingham expected a mangy field mouse like he caught the first time but found a more stereotypical mouse, or 'cartoon' mouse, as he puts it.

JW.com has exclusive video of the release of the 'Victor III,' the mouse named after the popular mouse trap brand.

Whittingham also had a mouse in his south Regina apartment.  One night while he was minding his own business and watching a movie and heard gnawing in a kitchen garbage bag.  Thus, this is the third mouse to enter Whittingham's short life.

YORK STREET TRAILER PARK -- James's hillbilly neighbours are apparently using new obedience school terminology to control their small flock of hounds.

"The lady always yells, 'Dummy it Up' or just, 'Dummy Up,'" said Whittingham, who claims to have never heard these terms before.

"Leonard, the husband, always shouts, 'Go lay down, go lay down,'" added Whittingham, who believes the hillbillies may actually be drug dealers.

Whittingham also claims he's heard the wife yell "Dummy it up" to her young grandchildren.

I tried a 'Skype Out' call today from a computer with Jay and it worked great.  All you do is dial the number from your Skype console and it's like a normal telephone call.

It's now free from a Skype computer in North America to any phone line in North America.  By North America, I mean the U.S. and Canada.  I'll have to see how much a faster internet connection costs so I can do some three ways.

Don't forget to add +1 and the area code before the number.

 

Here's the last two exciting episodes of the Live at Boston Pizza series to end your week on.
