Chub Creek is one of the pioneering music/comedy/soundseeing/storytelling podcasts featuring home grown content created by two life-long friends, Dave and Gary. Gary has retired from podcasting now, but Dave still carries on making a total ass of himself just to make you laugh (or cry). Original music, stories, skits and silliness. Come on in, you'll be glad you did.

Yes it's a special day for my friend who I haven't seen in many months. Not since we burned our faces off with chicken wings. What's up with that? Needs to be rectified. Anyway here's some crazy stuff and some boring stuff and some great music by Zeeche. Have fun. I'll wait here.

Join us as we interview a special surprise guest here at Chub Creek studios as our beloved City Minx tells all about the comings and goings of the New York movie scene. Yes, Minxy (Jill) has decided to brave the land of pine cones and Poutine and attempts to count the number of times Dave says "Eh". Ed, Ethel, Key grips and Ten One.

Okay I'm back. Back in black. Or at least earth tones. Thanks for being patient, or if you didn't know I was gone, thanks for not noticing. Lots to talk about today in this ninety first installment of Chub Creek, featuring me, (Hi, I'm Dave) and Brenda Dayne, Syne Mitchell, Sage Tyrtle, Scott Fletcher, Jake Cordova, The National Pool, and the Loving Letters of Lots of Listeners. Big love to y'all. Mwah! Oh and I know the knock knock joke doesn't make sense. It was something I was doing with the kids and it is still funny to me. Although I think I screwed it up. Ah well. Ed thought it was funny. ]]> Sun, 27 May 2007 20:06:02 -0400 http://homepage.mac.com/chubcreek/iblog/chubcreek/B189300973/C1179597668/E20070527200602/index.html http://homepage.mac.com/chubcreek/iblog/chubcreek/B189300973/C1179597668/E20070429203623/index.html Just wanted to send my thanks for the numerous and very kind letters of worry that I've fallen off the edge of the world and can't get up. Don't worry. Everything's great, and I'm just taking a small break from the show for a bit to enjoy the springtime. I'll be back soon with more stories about nothing, along with very bad music, and really dumb skits. Happy spring!

We made it all the way to the top 60 with less than 40 votes . I noticed a spike in listenership (I think) because of it, so I guess when you get into the higher ranks of Podcast Alley it actually does make a difference . So the numbers have gone back to zero as they do every month. I'd love it if you'd take a second to vote for us and lets see if we can make the top 40 ! Can't you feel the excitement? No? Okay, well I promise I won't be a slacker this weekend if we get into the top 40.

So I suggest you go to her site at catwhispering.net and subscribe in iTunes (subscribing lets her know if anybody's out there, and duly increases the pressure to create new ones more frequently) You can subscribe in iTunes directly by clicking here. Give Rosie some support and let's hope it climbs the podcasting charts! (whatever they might be).

Anyway I was saddened to read some negative reviews of the Creek [link removed due to too some mean re-posts on her blog] and I was kinda amazed how much it... sort of... hurt. Not used to all this stuff even now. I ran into this during my monthly (yes now it's monthly... used to be hourly in the beginning) ego-surf using NetNewswire. I don't know why I'm posting this, other than to prove I really am a big baby. Maybe I'll write them all a song and try to win their hearts. Or maybe that will make it worse...

Just a bit of rambling this week. Got sudden disasters happening. Doesn't stop me from wasting your time does it? Thanks to Jake Cordova from Just Not Right, Dutch from Chicken World and to Nicole Cardi from Musique Cariaque. Thanks also to Jessica Alba for being friends with a friend of my friend.

Thanks also to Epitonic for the great selection of music.

I'm thinking of starting a mailing list so I can tell people if something's happening that I can't post on the website (because it's down for some reason) so if you'd like to join the mailing list, please send an email to this EXACT address (and insert the @ symbol) mailinglistATchubcreek.com and I'll put you on the list. Yay I can finally spam you. I promise not to abuse this.

One way I'm going to temporarily combat the service outage due to heavy downloads is to only host a few shows at a time on the website. It's only temporary until I find a good host (dreamhost any thoughts?) and then I'll maybe put the shows back up. I may also simply offer them all on a DVD. Signed and everything! How'd that be?

This week there is some great new music from the talented Mr. Zeeche, and from my friends Mollie from Atlanta, and Nicole Cardi of Musique Cardiaque. Thanks for the great stuff youze guys.

Yes, not such a work, kid, or anything else "safe" episode in any sense of the word. We begin with a horrible rendition of a song by Limp Bizkit that's kind of horrible to begin with, then march straight into the way we were (after we had to think and then some) and from there, directly into an unexpected conversation with the Dude himself. Some great music from Zeeche, and from a great uncle of mine who I don't think I've ever met. Strap yourself in, and don't be a dink. ]]> Sun, 05 Nov 2006 23:28:58 -0500 http://homepage.mac.com/chubcreek/iblog/chubcreek/B189300973/C1179597668/E20061105232858/index.html http://homepage.mac.com/chubcreek/iblog/chubcreek/B189300973/C1179597668/E20061104152504/index.html Sat, 04 Nov 2006 15:25:04 -0500 http://homepage.mac.com/chubcreek/iblog/chubcreek/B189300973/C1179597668/E20061104152504/index.html http://homepage.mac.com/chubcreek/iblog/chubcreek/B189300973/C1179597668/E20061104083435/index.html Sat, 04 Nov 2006 08:34:35 -0500 http://homepage.mac.com/chubcreek/iblog/chubcreek/B189300973/C1179597668/E20061104083435/index.html http://homepage.mac.com/chubcreek/iblog/chubcreek/B189300973/C1179597668/E20061029160939/index.html Had a big catastrophe with my new iMac.

Special thanks to everybody who participated in this week's show. Namely, Graeme, Big Jake, Brenda Dayne, Bruce Murray, Katherine, Marvin Suicide, Mollie, Scott Fletcher, The Scarborough Dude, Gary, Oliver, and Rosie. Also a very BIG thanks to the Amazing Mr. Zeeche , (who I forgot to credit at the end) for the song "Lieutenant", which I very rudely asked for one day when I was planning out the show in my mind. Zeech, you rock. Thanks so much.

This show was assembled in one day (about 14 hours), with the contributions of all the people above who sent MP3 files, mostly unscripted, but some were given a few hints about where the show was going. As usual, it all fit together amazingly well, with a few things almost miraculously so (for example, Bruce Murray - Buddy- had no idea there would be a talking coffee machine, and Rosie - Dr. Beaver - didn't know my cousin Oliver would be asking directions to the bar) Weird stuff.

All music in this show (except Zeech's tune) was created here, and soon will be available on our music site. Click "the music" button on the right in a couple of days when I have time to post it.

UPDATE: Okay I managed to get the website stuff working again, but lost this entry. So I re-entered it, but lost the comments. So (because I'm that anal) here is a link to the comments for this show. You can still add new comments by clicking the comments link below. ]]> Sun, 22 Oct 2006 15:31:47 -0400 http://homepage.mac.com/chubcreek/iblog/chubcreek/B189300973/C1179597668/E20061029153147/index.html http://homepage.mac.com/chubcreek/iblog/chubcreek/B189300973/C1179597668/E20061016000931/index.html Chub Creek 74 - Home Boy

I'm back! Hoo. Ray. Okay you probably didn't notice I was gone. But I was. So I'm back. But I still have nothing much to say. Lots of talking nonetheless, mostly about family and mushy things. Got some great new stuff from Zeech, also a surprise clip from a podcasting buddy that you know very well, or if you don't, should.

Chubby Cheeks number 73 kicks off with a new rockin song from our two favourite singers. Then we delve deeply into some troubling facts about the radio, pants, pawn shops and wheel chairs. Then we have some new music, and an unplanned plunge into the world of the Commodore Vic 20 and the RAMifications of English expansion chips. Then we have some music from the incredible Mr. Zeeche, and some more talking. Music, talking, skits, you know the drill. Come on in, dinks.

Pick up those knitting needles, it's time for Chub Creek! Today we take a nice little road trip with two of my best friends. Some questions that remain to be answered: What exactly is wrong with a mouldy shower curtain anyway? What is a double double? Why did the price change from 4.02 to 4.12? How did the story end?

Just Dave this week as Gary almost gets baked alive in his basement today. (no air conditioning down there) So this week we talk about Marmite, Vegemite, Mojitos, Coronation Street, and Superman. All this and some great new music from Zeeche and from Dave in this Super new episode. Great Scott! Come on in. Thanks to VealChart (and his 5 year old son for the great joke), the incredible Zeeche, and to Jannett for the great recipe. Speaking of which, here it is: (let her know if you enjoy it!)

1/2 cup of freshly squeezed lime juice
3/4 cup of white rum (cuban preferred)
Crushed ice
Seltzer water

1. Thoroughly crush the mint leaves into the sugar. The crushing releases the mint oils and adds to the flavor. Take your time on this step. It'll make a difference in your drink.

2. Add the lime juice and the rum. Mix until the sugar is mostly dissolved. This is your "drink base".

3. Fill a glass with crushed ice. Add your drink base about 1/4 to 1/3 of the way up the glass. Can change this to suit your taste. You'll need to experiment a bit with this.

4. Fill the glass up with the seltzer water.

5. mix thoroughly and enjoy! ]]> Sun, 09 Jul 2006 23:44:34 -0400 http://homepage.mac.com/chubcreek/iblog/chubcreek/B189300973/C1179597668/E20060709234434/index.html http://homepage.mac.com/chubcreek/iblog/chubcreek/B189300973/C1179597668/E20060702214327/index.html Chub Creek 63 - We Am Canadian (dedicated to Penny)

I don't think either of us mentioned Canada Day whatsoever, so happy Canada Day! July 1st if you're wondering. Also happy 4th of July to our American friends. Not sure what that celebrates, maybe it's the time you surrendered to we Canadians because we just kicked your asses. Or is it the other way around... don't know. I really need to brush up on my history. I think we invented the beaver. Anyway here's the show.

Mom DO NOT listen to the end of the intro. Trust me. This is a very personal show for Dave, as he decides to abuse the friendships of all the Chub Creek listeners by unloading on them. But it doesn't last that long and there's always the fast forward button. After that we have Koos Van Den Hout, some new music, a new podcast, and a description of what happened when Dave finally ventured out of the apartment and (shock of shocks) had a great time. Music, skits, stories and The Bat, all here on Chub Creek. Come on in, don't have an orgasm.

Welcome back to the Creek. This is one show where you definitely should be wearing headphones and enjoy the benefit of the amazing new stereo microphones gary uses with his portable recorder during some totally absorbing soundseeing. Also this week, see if you can keep track of how many times Gary complains that he may be getting sick. Prize details to follow for the lucky winner. This week we have Dutch lessons with Koos Van Den Hout, (Brenda Dayne's Hot Under the Collar will appear next time) In my opinion, this is one of the best episodes of Chub Creek, ever. To all the beautiful Moms listening around the world: Happy Mother's Day. New music, laughter, tears and soulsearching all right here on Chub Creek.

I haven't even listened to this yet. That's how late we've been working on this. I'm going to have faith and just post it and hope for the best. This also means (because I haven't heard Gary's half) I can't speak intelligently about the show, so instead I've asked Syne Mitchell (novelist and host of WeaveCast) to write the show notes, using the most popular search terms in the world, which will also serve to piss off the whole planet trying to find important information but getting Chub Creek Episode 56 instead, har har. Those notes are as follows:

Patrick Kennedy admires the St. Helens slab rock of Tony Blair, while only the Kansas marriage age prevents John Allen Muhammad and Donald Rumsfeld from tying the knot. "Excessive stamp prices slow job growth", says Burt Rutan, who cites the Google lawsuit as a mitigating factor.

Original podsafe music, stories, skits, silly lyrics (thanks to Jessie and Jessalyn for the great lyrics) all here on the Creek. So come on in, don't be a... Deek?

Today we take a little soundseeing tour around town. Dave (admittely a little whiny today) has the most sincere intentions in the beginning and they quickly descend to something more Swedish. Soundseeing, Ed and Ethel, more soundseeing, some talking and whining about the Podcasters Across Borders podcaster's meeting, and some more talking and some more whining. Intrigued yet? I bet.

Welcome to half a hun' of CC. Dave decides to mix up the genres a bit. From heavy metal to country to acid jazz, it's all baked in. Speaking of baked, Dave shares his total lack of culinary skills and, well, asks for HELP! There are only so many ways to enjoy Basa fillets. Listening back to this episode, (switching to first person now) I sometimes think I must be nuts spending this much time to produce such a pile of schlock. Really this one would probably not be worth your time, were it not for the first twenty seconds. There IS a very SCARY story in the show, along with some horrifying knocks on the door and more tales of household disasters. Thanks to contributors April (who hosts a great knitting blog called Coffee Crazy Knitters) and, as always to Marvin Suicide for his great audio. BIG, big ups to Julia for sending me the pop screen. Visit her blog Knitting my Time Away and send her some nice compliments for helping out Dink number two. Thanks also to Syne Mitchell for the great ideas and submissions. Visit her website and BUY HER BOOKS at: www.synemitchell.com and thanks to Shana Kreikemeier of Lincoln Nebraska's Journal Star Podcast for the offer of knitting. Other exciting news and stories in this episode. My brain is starting to shrink, so you'd better come on in, don't be a dink.

Wow is it Monday already? Where did the time go? Oh yeah, into doing this show again. Thanks to Ted Riecken from Island Podcasting for his cool skit at the beginning, and to Marvin Suicide for all the things he's sent over the past year, some of which I've rehashed. This week we have a fantastic new song from Zeeche. A serious song! Wow! Also a new episode of Dark Speed, and a lot of blathering about nothing in particular. This rather dull show was saved in the end by Jeanie's son, Anson who sent a spectacular couple of clips that I think will really make your day. Thanks Anson, and here's a link to Jeanie's sites Sexy Knitters Club and Crochet Cast. Original songs, stories, skits and more as usual on the banks of Chub Creek. I think I fell in.

Yes, if you listen closely, you'll hear the funniest verbal slip I've ever made or heard... and I didn't even notice it at the time!!! Episode 48 is choc-a-block with talking, music, and skits. First the talking, then the music, then the skits. Sometimes this gets mixed around. Keeps you guessing. Please give me some feedback on "Crazy Cop" which debuts here (and may never show up again depending on the reaction) it's really really strange. Also, I didn't get very many submissions (only two!) for Dark Speed, so that will die a hyper space death unless there is some interest. If I could still think I'd put something witty here that rhymes with don't be a dink.

A bunch of sappy, yet hilarious stuff. Listen in. Thanks to Marvin Suicide and Brenda Dayne. Thanks also to all our listeners, especially those who have taken the time to write us. That keeps it all going. Cheers everybody, and wish Gary all the best in his exciting new life close to the place we both knew and loved. Blah blah blah, just come on in.

I was, among other things, looking forward to using the new incarnation of Garageband, which, I think, is called Garageband '06. I installed it, opened it up to have a look, tried a new button that helps you put photos in your podcast and poof. It crashed. I'm not impressed. How the crap am I supposed to assemble new Chub Creek episodes without my lovely Garageband? I tried it a few more times and it crashed each time. I'm thinking it may be one of three things: 1. It's just not fully baked 2. All my custom instruments I downloaded from the web are screwing it up, or 3. My iPhoto library needs to finish updating first. iPhoto is another of the programs that is upgraded in iLife '06 and it has to scan through your photo database and make it up to scratch for the new version. Garageband needs to access your iPhoto library so it can use the photos for podcasts. This may be the key. I'm betting and hoping that's the issue, and I'll keep you posted. ]]> Thu, 02 Feb 2006 21:39:50 -0500 http://homepage.mac.com/chubcreek/iblog/chubcreek/B189300973/C1179597668/E20060202213950/index.html http://homepage.mac.com/chubcreek/iblog/chubcreek/B189300973/C1179597668/E20060129232730/index.html Chub Creek 43 - Don't freeze the iRiver or the Gerbils

This was a fun episode. Many thanks to those who contributed, I'll list you at the bottom of this paragraph. We begin in a foggy, wintry morning in Sudbury as Gary deals with some Van troubles and a frozen music player. Gary declares his love for an old guy from Scarborough and serenades him to boot. Later we find out the mechanical bill and learn of some of the nightmare parents can go through with teenagers. Just before Dave's half Gary gets himself arrested and Dave has to bail him out. What are friends for? Sing along with us as we break out an old favourite (or maybe an oldie you wish you never had to hear again) and listen as dave drives all over town while reading his emails. We finally remember to thank some very important people and finally find out what ever happened to our old pal Mr. Zeeche, and we find out why Dave spends about twenty minues apologizing to Zeeche's girlfriend! Songs, Gavels, Gerbils and more in this one, so it's well worth it when you click the link. So come on in, don't be a dink!

Well this one sucks. Not the podcast, but what Dave spends an eternity talking about. Computer problems be darned! We're like a combination of the post office and the Energizer Bunny. We just keep delivering and delivering and delivering. Neither rain nor sleet nor goddamn Apple computer hardware problems (read previous post) are going to keep us from putting out, baby. It's your weekly dose of nonsense. A new and exciting edition of Hot Under the Collar with Brenda Dayne of the Cast-On Podcast (a podcast for knitters) graces the virtual pages of this show, along with a very kind shout-out from the Otaku Generation podcast . Thanks guys... uh, we think. Gary must have been quite a sight to see, driving around Sudbury with his iRiver, because what he actually delivered almost caused a divorce. New music is (as usual) in this episode is all available on the Podsafe Music Network , and there are three nice ones today. Also thanks to Michael Butler of the Rock and Roll Geek Show for his most excellent show ID that we love to play over and over, and to Mark of Mark's Podshow for being such a great sport and singing along with our favourite tune about Gary. It's a great episide, even if the length did shrink, so come on in, don't be a dink!

Right now I'm using my machine with nervous fear that it will suddenly shut off. It's been doing that for a few days now, more and more frequently to the point where I'm pretty sure it's a hardware problem. I do know that my model of iMac has a power supply warning from Apple and that it's included under warranty if that's the issue. My IT friend at work has suggested a few things such as zapping the PRAM which I've now done and my fingers are crossed. It's still alive for now, but I'm typing this just in case, because there will be a conspicuous absence of Chub Creek episodes until I solve this. So if you don't hear from us in a while (I can't even blog without this machine) it's because my beautiful iMac is in the shop until further notice.

I hope you all understand, and if you have any suggestions for me, please email me at stupidmacproblems@chubcreek.com and I'd appreciate it. I'll have internet access on my little iBook, but no podcasting capability. If I could only figure out how to port all this iBlog stuff over to the laptop it would be a start. Well it hasn't shut off suddenly on me yet... wish me luck..

UPDATE:
Well it happened again early the next morning, so I guess it's not fixed. It's running now, but I'm not sure what to do about it.

Just for you I've gone to the considerable trouble of uploading about a gigabyte of data to a nice, lovely, safe and most importantly, free location. Not sure how this all works or how exactly one can do this for free, but I'm not asking too many more questions. So feel free to download all the old stuff if you like. I believe the quality may have suffered minutely, as I seemed to notice little clicks like dust on a record in there from time to time. But I may be imagining things. Let me know how this works for you and if the download speed is any good. I'm leaving our more current episodes on the .Mac server though, because I think it's faster and I know I can count on it. Enjoy! Oh, and did I mention the considerable trouble it took to do this? Did I also mention that big, shiny "buy a dink a beer" button? Oh. Okay I thought so. Just kidding. Not really. Yes I am.

Brrrr it's cold in Sudbury. It's time for an extra special, EXTRA LONG episode of your favourite Podcast. (Notice I spelled the word favourite the correct, Canadian way.) Let's see... what's in store for you this time... oh yeah. Dave makes the long journey to Sudbury and is reacquainted with Gary's rather masculine microphone. The topics in todays show range from butchering headphones to eating frozen beef jerky. It's our first LIVE episode with both Dave and Gary in the same room at the same time. Get out of here! No really. Are you serious? Yep, it's true. Both in the same room... both drinking liberally. Give it a listen because after this session Dave came close to puking in the sink, so come on in, don't be a dink.

Lordy lordy it sure is, or was forty. Gary gets so disgusted about his half of the previous version of this episode, after he throws up, he immediately returns to the Chub Creek Studio. So what does this all mean? You great folks get to listen to yet another version of Episode forty from the dinks! Gary gets pretty serious about his recording setup and how important it is that our fans are looked after. From way up north to the city of Toronto, the dinks extinguished this fiery disaster. Plus, as an extra bonus, Dave takes us to the mall where he is attacked by fans and is unable to buy guitar picks, AND ends up in a fist fight with an electronic salesman. This isn’t a déjà vu or a fluke, c’mon in and help clean up puke.

Lordy lordy it's episode forty. Har har har. Today we get deeeeep into the music. Gary introduces us to seventeen new songs, and Dave does another twelve or so.

Thanks.

Yes it's true. Without warning iTunes has inexplicably added the ability to write reviews and rate podcasts, so once again I'm forced to ask for your help so we don't look like such losers. The only review was written by me, and I did it when I first woke up in the morning so it really doesn't make any sense at all. There is no way to edit it, but it can be pushed down under more recent reviews, were any to show up due the the generous support and effort of, say... you, our beloved listener...?

Please click the purple screen capture above which will take you to your copy of iTunes and to our site on the iTunes music store under podcasts. Be careful, because you don't get to change your mind once it's there... on second thought, don't be careful, feel free to speak your mind.

Cheers, and thanks for all your support past and present.

Dave and Gary

P.S. If you can't think of anything to write, try one of these:

Example 1: Wow. What can I say about Chub Creek? Let's just say they changed my life in a very aural way.

Example 2: Chub Creek with Gary and Dave even if they sucked I'd still listen to them because they now have a knitting segment.

Example 3: Chub Creek is _____________ and have changed my ___________ because of the way they ___________ their ____________.

UPDATE:

Through the wisdom of Mr. Nobes I realized that the podcast directory is separated by country. I can think of absolutely no reason for this to be so, and it kills the thing about podcasting that gives me the most joy; the lack of borders. So I apologize for not noticing those very kind, and very thoughtful reviews that already existed in other countries. I have to admit, it was a blast to review the reviews from each country, though I have to wince each time, because you can review anonymously if you want to, and you just know when it's anonymous it's painfully honest also. Cheers everybody. I spent some time writing reviews myself, so you'll find a few as I have time under the Canadian section of podcasts for your shows. ]]> Tue, 20 Dec 2005 15:18:17 -0500 http://homepage.mac.com/chubcreek/iblog/chubcreek/B189300973/C1179597668/E20051221151817/index.html http://homepage.mac.com/chubcreek/iblog/chubcreek/B189300973/C2125660661/E20051218224156/index.html Chub Creek 39

Finally the Dinkle Bell is rang... rung? ringed? Dinked. If you felt any danger Chub Creek was getting too serious, this episode should serve to make you feel much safer. Or maybe not. Depends how you look at it. In this episode we start off with by ripping off our own show (see episode 9 which, unfortunately, is archived now, so you'll have to search your library or bribe the dinks to send you a copy) as Dave and Gary fend off huge throngs of fans. Then we join Gary as he is joyously enthusiastic about Christmas and his lack of anymore shopping to do. In fact Gary is joyous about pretty well everything, including his liberal beer imbibing. Gary rocks out with an excellent remake of an older song of his, and then does it again in a more instrumental vein. Then we go for a walk in the fresh snow with just about every character to cross paths with Dave and Gary, including some who may have been better off forgotten. In Dave's half of the show we learn some of the touching history of the Dave and Gary nonsense, including a dig through the archives for some never before heard oldies from pre-Chub days. More instrumental music from Dave, then finally the long awaited Christmas tune contributed to by all of you. YOU GUYS ROCK. Thanks so much for putting yourselves out on a limb with us. You'll learn just how much we Canadians drink when you come on in. Don't be a dink.

Lots going on in this episode. For starters, we're brought into the bosom of celebrity once again. In this episode Zeeche gets a replay, and then join Ed as he peruses the tantalizing website of the popular podcast, Soccergirl Incorporated and finds more than he bargained for. In some way this segues into some fantastic new duet of music from Dave and his Aunt Susie in celebration of Dave's Mom's Birthday. (Oh, and Sue, gotcha back) Happy birthday to Mom! A quick review of the Dave and Gary doll situation, then yet another Frappr conversation and how many states in the US are full of dinks. Dave reviews the ridiculous size of McDonald's large french fries. Also a Dinkle Bells update. Listen to our new, and wonderful segment by Brenda Dayne of Cast-On. Some original music, then on to Gary and some touching moments that crossed his mind recently in a very cool soundseeing drive. Then we hear from Santa himself as we move into a very intimate and exciting interview with Gary's wife Lynn. Happy Holidays everybody.

Merry Christmas! Sick of all the Christmas crap yet? So is Gary. In this episode, Gary takes us on a magical journey through Scroogeville while getting stuck in traffic on the way there because of all the shoppers, then finally we make it back to the North Pole and find our Christmas Spirit again. This is a very special episode featuring our first attempt at an audience-participation, musical extravaganza. Okay it's not that interesting, but for some it might be. Once you've listened to the show, download the song "Dinkle Bells " and then add your own crazy Christmas (or other) verses to the song. Email it back to us, and we'll splice all the entries together and play it on the next Chub Creek and if it's any good we'll release it on the Podsafe Music Network with a credit for everybody who wants one right in the song tag. After that we explore some interesting topics with Dave as he talks about a great new podcast called Cast-On , and Dave's wish for some custom knitting from Brenda Dayne, host of the show. Then hear gossop about the new band Dave and Mr. Zeeche have may or may not have just created, a story about exploding bread, and finally Dave treats us to two new collaborations between himself and the silken voiced and beautiful Nicole Cardi. At one point Dave sings with her! What's that expression about a silk purse and a sow's ear? In any case we hope this finds you in the holiday "spirits"... nudge nudge, wink wink.... come on in. Don't be a dinkle bell. (UPDATE: The movie I was trying to think of was Amelie. Thanks Drey !)

Let's Go! If you have an allergy to Dave's singing you might want to give this one a miss. But if not, this is the episode for you! Dave gets whiny and probably puts his foot in his mouth about four times complaining about Madge and Adam Curry while discovering several fixes to a couple of Apple problems that have been really bothering him. Dave mentions more people who have become members of our our Frappr! map and rehashes still more embarrassing old songs. Then we go off to the Northern Chub Creek studio where Gary does a cool, but brief sound-seeing tour of his daughter's adventures with toast, and addresses some of the difficulty of being in a northern city in winter time, including his love for a certain variety of underwear. Another reality that surfaced for Gary was the fact that he lives with four females, and what happens to him when yet more ladies show up to visit. Then we take an up close and personal look (yet again) at our frappr! members one by one. Be sure to have your Chub Creek Frappr ! map at the ready! Special thanks to the one and only P.W. Fenton (P Dub) of the Digital Flotsam podcast, a must listen on our playlist and a show we highly recommend.

Who is the Scarborough Dude? Why, he's the host of Dicks 'n Janes; one of Dave's favourite podcasts and a must listen. In this episode we rehash an older song that is rocketing up the PMN charts (okay maybe not quite) and then we get in the car and go for a soundseeing tour to Scarborough to visit with fellow podcaster SD (scarborough Dude) Complete with a light dusting of more original and very stupid music by Dave, this is a trip made even more interesting by the amazing quality of those binaural microphones stuck in Dave's ears. Then we teleport to Sudbury and join Gary as he shows us both his freakazoid side and his serious one as he segues into a remarkable piece of writing, and several amazing new songs in which Gary created his own loops using the new software he's experimenting with. This episode is a great "zone-out" both in soundseeing and just getting your mind in sync, so come on in, don't be a dink.

Holy songtastic! We hope you're in the mood for some musical chillin' Chub Creek style. Gary decides to peel back the layers and delve into the archives for some amazing (not to mention disturbing) musical journeys. So much material has passed between Gary and I that there's a backlog and Gary finds this episode to be as good an excuse as any to share some of it with you. Gary shows his appreciation for all those who took the time to add to our FRAPPR map. Dave is very excited to present a special guest performer, with three brand new songs that he and she collaborated on together. Dave gives his shout out individually to some of those who have added to the FRAPPR map also. It's one FRAPPRiffic episode we think, so come on in. Don't be a dink.

Songs we've made just for this episode (Links lead to our site on the Podsafe Music Network):

By Dave (and his aunt Susie):
Ode to Billy Joe - Susan Watson and Dave
Use Me - Susan Watson and Dave
Marry You in the Sky - Susan Watson

Another musical extravaganza... yeah. Four, count 'em, four songs in this episode, including one we invest some extra special care and love with. In this episode Dave recounts a surprise visit he had during the weekend and the adventures that ensued. Then we learn some new words in Dutch thanks to our new segment complete with its own theme song. Lots of fantastic stereo soundseeing with both Dave and Gary, and his brother Ken. Gary recounts his version of the events and a heartbreaking lost bit of Chub Creek history, and outdoes himself with some amazing new music. All music will shortly be available on the Podsafe Music Network . Special thanks to Koos Van Den Haut, and Marvin Suicide . Also the Flying Vealchart Company. Special Thanks goes to the Zedcast for the great (late) song! Sorry Bruce, I'm a dink and forgot to put this in.

All I know is this. Gary and I were ten years old when we met in 1979. This is episode 32. If you multiply 32 times 1979 and divide by 10 you get 666.

If that doesn't give you the shivers...

Sorry about the tardocity. This is an episode of introspection, reflection, interrogation, prostitution, and revolution. Well not really, but that would be cool if I could think of some more "tion" words that were relevant. Listen to Dave whine about the tin foil followed by a special message from a major world leader. More microphone woes, and some more whining. The nicotine problems are still affecting our moods it seems. Dave gets introspective about the moderate use of our music on the Podsafe Music Network . Thanks to C.C. Chapman and the U-Turn Cafe , IT Conversations, Michael Butler and (hopefully) Adam Curry , Yeast Radio, and many others for playing Chub Creek's Music in the last few weeks. In this episode hear the amazing story of Gary's Wedding Photography. Listen as gary learns how to cook sausages from Ed and Ethel, and waxes philosophical as he rakes the leaves in his yard in a very cool sound seeing tour. This one is the longest Chub Creek on record I think, so come on in, don't be a dink.

By the beard of Thoth, it's time for the thirtieth episode of your beloved Chub Creek. Wow time flies, doesn't it. Let's hear Gary learn about how weird he gets when he's trying to quit smoking. Also hear about Gary's newest inspiration and hear some excellent songs, and we can all finally hear the real story about Gary's lump and what really happened at the doctor's office when the doctor wanted more than Gary was prepared to give. Dave finds himself very tired and explains what happens during those times (such as this when it's three o'clock in the morning and he's trying to type show notes) and what happens in the morning when he's supposed to be awake. It's a 47 minute ball of fun that's over before you can blink, so come on in.

Gary really seems to be in his groove on this one. Two amazing songs and some storytelling mark this episode, along with some most excellent iRiver created sound effects. Listen as Gary tells us how he's just about had enough of listener slackership, and tells a road rage story to beat all road rage stories. Dave takes us for a trip to the antique shop and then goes riding on the range. Dave throws in his own two cents worth on the slacker listener issue and even dabbles into the subject of passive television culture. Hey I'm just realizing nobody sent me any Spanish. I'm still awaiting my audio clip of "give me an ash tray and a beer." Come on, spanish speaking listener slackers! Thanks. In addition, Dave sings about his secret love, the bloated lesbian that stinks. Come on in, don't be dinks.

A major announcement. This time Chub Creek's bringing more to the table than anybody likely wants to eat. But it's there, all 46 minutes of it. Listen to Gary reveal a deep, dark secret about Dave in a very elaborate series of skits and a sound whining tour. Are the rumours true? Gary plays a new song with the strangest lyrics ever written by somebody not under the influence of magic mushrooms or PCPs. Gary gets physical with his washer and reveals some serious dangers involved in walking down the stairs at his house. Dave gets his own back and talks about some amazing new secrets of Garageband in a language closely resembling English. Dave adds a new song, and goes on and on and on about all his favourite podcasts to the point of ridiculous. Cool original music, stories, skits and props all here on Chub Creek. Here's some links, don't be dinks.

Reading this illustrates just how important it is to give a crap, and show people you care. Thanks for this letter Chris. And Chris, just plain old "Dave" is fine.

Dave from Chub Creek – You rock. You do not know how much I needed this email you sent to me, let me try to explain. Also - please forgive my long winded response. Similar to Chub Creek, the podcasts made for distribution from The Flying Veal Chart Company were created by two friends many miles apart. And like Chub Creek my partner in crime, who conspires with me to create podcasting content, is also named Dave or DaveO. Curious don’t you think? And as you are well aware, sometimes technical difficulties, lack of self confidence or just life in general may keep a person from using their creative energies in a positive direction – today it is podcasting. Well my friend DaveO, who is the music wizard here at vealchart.com, broke his collar bone after falling into a five foot deep hole while riding a mountain bike. This slowed him down for a while and our podcasting efforts together started to dwindle. I was about to give up on making podcasts altogether when I decided to give it one last chance. As a atter of fact I was about to start a new podcast series of 5min shows this week. I am not sure why, but I had decided, in my brain, that I ould only keep podcasting if I got just one email from someone in podcast nation. I almost gave up and then ... Then what do you know, DAVE ROM CHUB CREEK, one of my favorite podcasts ever, SENT ME AN EMAIL! So not only did I get some feedback, I got Dave from Chub Creek to give me a ick in the ass, to wake me up, and get me back on track. Like I said – you rock.

So, hell yes I am going to keep podcasting. Thanks for putting a link to vealchart.com on your site. I was about to do the same for Chub Creek. And hell yes I will send your friend some of the DaveO music collection. And thank you for taking time to read this email.

By the way I have some sound clips I recorded from my two year old I was going to send you, hopefully soon. I got him saying things like Don’t be a dink’ and junk like that.

Thanks again Dave from Chub Creek,

(oops I put episode 24 in here by mistake. Thanks Jeff ) The seven month anniversary! It's a depressing time right now, and there are a lot of people to blame. Watching from Canada we find it difficult to step up and actually do much blaming, but I think we've had it, because we do plenty in this one. On a lighter note, listen as Dave kisses the asses of Michael Butler of the Rock 'n' Roll Geek Show , and Adam Curry in the same breath. This episode features the debut of a very special relative of Gary's as he shares three (THREE) new songs with us. This episode has a total of FIVE songs because we've decided to bite the bullet and let our show run on a bit long. Partly it's due to figuring out a way to make Garageband record longer than 33 minutes. Duh. It was easy. We talk plenty about Katrina in this episode, but I don't think there's much danger of being bummed out. Give it a listen, and don't forget to donate (and donate again if it's payday again) to the Red Cross so that these people can be rescued, fed, clothed and brought to safety. This one is up and down and all around, so hold on to something. Preferably something decent.

Bock bock? Wha's that? it's the sound a chicken makes, of course. At last the decades long wait for a remake of the famous "Bock Bock I'm a Chicken" has been laid down. When Gary and I were about twelve we created a song that we found so great and so hilarious that it's never been far from our minds since. I've been dreaming of the remake forever now and It's finally happened. Unfortunately it bears absolutely no resemblance to the original... still, it can be considered a new Chub Creek anthem I'd say. Today we get into the nitty gritty of Gary's birthday, and some of Gary's thoughts on RockStar INXS (Did everybody hear our friend Michael Butler from the Rock and Roll Geek show interview the entire cast and band? Wow.) Dave brings us a new (long) song and we're once again joined by our two friends Ed and Ethel as they explore LSD. A song by Mister Zeeche of Yeast Radio fame, and some props for a great podcast by the Scarborough Dude called Dicks n Jane's . So there's music, skits and stories and more as usual. Check it out, it's better than you think. Come on in, don't be a chicken.

Happy Birthday tooooo Gareeeeee.... Yes as of this Saturday, August 27th, Gary is officially not really 30ish, he's a little closer to 40ish, but not really. Join us as Gary relives a wonderful week-long visit with his dad, and shows us just how strange his family is. Plus learn everything you've always wanted to know about Randy. There are songs, seagulls, pigs, and strange voices coming from somewhere above our heads as usual, though this time Gary thinks the one above my head sounds like a crack addict, not sure where she came from. If you listen very closely you'll hear Dave impersonate a seagull by whistling through his teeth! This entire episode is dedicated to our Dads, both Len and Larry, but especially Len as he features prominently in this one. Here's to you, Dads. Well my dad really has nothing much to do with it, but I just wanted to say hi.

Sorry about this. Gary has been having a very tough week, and he offered to finish the epiosde off, but I hadn't even started yet and there's no time left. So this will be another placeholder for your listening pleasure. Or something. In this episode, some sound seeing, some very loud music, and finally a chance for me to geek out a little bit. Also a great surprise from our friend Andre from dreynet.com Dink dink dink, blah blah blah. Hopefully we'll be back to normal again next week. Enjoy.

Wow. This is one of our best yet. Probably we're trying too hard because (a) we've been away too long and we miss it, and (b) we're paranoid you've all left us and we want to get you back. Where do I start? A very touching song written by Gary at the time of our reunion about a rubber boot; some details about our first face to face meeting in about twelve years; Songs and more songs. Don't pass on this one. Oh, and if you want to know about plunging your sink, you'd better come on in; don't be a dink.

The big move has happened, and so has the big reunion. This is a very special episode to me, (Dave) because it contains several milestones, not the least of which is twenty episodes of our beloved Chub Creek podcast. Listen as Gary and Dave meet face to face for the first time in twelve years and suddenly become useless at podcasting together. Listen to a personal podcast created by Gary just for me as I make the big move from Calgary to Toronto. Join us as we spill it all. Whether you're a dink or not, you'll like it a lot. ]]> Sat, 16 Jul 2005 02:06:27 -0400 http://homepage.mac.com/chubcreek/iblog/chubcreek/B189300973/C1179597668/E1453391058/index.html http://homepage.mac.com/chubcreek/iblog/chubcreek/B189300973/C1179597668/E566841146/index.html Just wanted to let everybody know we're still alive.

Oh, don't look now... it's a weird one. That's a change. Gary manages an entire episode without using his real voice whatsoever, a Chub Creek first! Gary shows his love and devotion to the Shakespeare Souffle family, and a band called Skinny Puppy, and teases Kim a bit for her pronunciation of the French Canadian delicacy, Poutine (I say Poo Teen) something they serve in Canada at both Burger King and KFC, not to mention New York Fries! Visit the future as Dave and Gary sit in rocking chairs on the porch in the year 2050, and learn all about Gary's feelings about Michael Jackson and Eddie Van Halen, who later converge in a song. This episode is a very serious one for Dave, as he gets something big off his chest, and uses the show as a sounding board. Don't forget that next week may be missing, and possibly the week after as we adjust to new digs. This website will be offline for a while unless Dave manages to park it somewhere temporarily, but if so, please keep checking back and don't unsubscribe to the show. We'll definitely be back. We need your patience here.

Two podcasts I'd like all of you to check out: Island Podcasting with Ted Riecken, which is a wonderful slice of my former home of Vancouver Island, (especially check out the sound seeing tour of his paint ball game) and a new one with our friend Zedcaster, another fellow Canadian who recently cut off his nose laughing at our stupidity. He's a former musician who has an incredible audio set up and has some cool stuff to offer. And also check out this one called Quirky Nomads , a podcast from some freshly minted Canadians and their perspectives as former Americans. Please give them your support and tell them Dave sent you. ]]> Fri, 17 Jun 2005 02:47:02 -0400 http://homepage.mac.com/chubcreek/iblog/chubcreek/B189300973/C2125660661/E633712479/index.html http://homepage.mac.com/chubcreek/iblog/chubcreek/B189300973/C2125660661/E862919848/index.html Chub Creek 18

One thing's for sure, it's a show Dave will never live down. That's right, listen to Dave embarrass himself in about a hundred ways! Just when he thought he'd done enough himself, Gary tacked on even more, to make the whole show a well rounded, extravaganza of fun and shames. Gary reveals some wicked new songs and gives us the lowdown on the latest in hard-driving technology. He really lets us know the real Gary. It doesn't matter if you're a technophobe or a technophile... this one's for you. Dave tells us his deep feelings about Apple and its Commander in Chief, Steve Jobs, and gets into the Intel switch thing a little bit. This is one is out there, so come on in, don't be a switcher.

Thanks to the Sound of the Day podcast, we've got us a brand new episode. Special thanks to Steve Fish from soundoftheday.com for all his aural efforts. (I said aural, not oral) We wondered what would happen if you combined as many of their short sound clips as possible into one show. What happened? Almost everything. Listen as Gary unloads on us with TWO new songs; one that rocks, one that rolls. Dave shares with us his most intimate musical experience thus far, and shows us just how far he will go in the name of embarrassing himself. Learn, of all things, what the worst, most menial jobs in England were hundreds of years ago as Dave spins off into the oddest segue in his life. Things are strange this week, I guess it's time for another episode of Chub Creek. This one really does have the kitchen sink. Come on in; don't be a dink.

Adam Curry wannabees. Oh the fans, the fans, it's all about the fans. Just when you stop taking yourselves too sseriously you get people writing nice letters. Listen as Dave feels strangely attached to the idea of talking to himself, and speaks about what Adam Curry and David Slusher have in common. Dave also reveals what sort of music he likes to relieve stress, and even shares some of it with us. Gary has some great new music and soundscapes. Listen as he shares a computer tragedy and reveals just exactly how tired a human being can become and still sip on a can of beer. A big shout out to those who have shown their support for the dinks on Chub Creek. There is more to Canadians than a few laps around a rink.

This podcast cost us a lot of blood, sweat and diarrhea. Well almost. Listen in as Gary and Dave discuss a very difficult time in the making of Chub Creek. Hear a wicked podcaster mashup by Gary, and a very strange and long song by Dave. Hear Dave's opinion on Adam Curry and Podshow. Dave makes good use of his BRAND NEW G5 iMac and Garageband 2! This one will blow the doors off, so don't miss it. You'll be tickled pink, dinks!

It's the battle of the bulbs! Listen in as we get some great feedback from our most loyal listener. Check out Dave's backyard in another trademark soundseeing tour and listen to the exciting ins and outs of being a handyman when problems happen with the hothouse. Dave goes a little crazy with the Garageband thingy, and Gary does the same with Acid. Not ON acid, WITH acid (the program). Gary shares with us his new homosexual desire for old men in hospitals and reveals his secret desire for Dave's spouse. Yes, it could only be time for a new visit to Chub Creek. If you want to learn why hospitals really stink, come on in, don't be a dink!

What are you on, and what do you want? This is a question Gary wants answered in this frightening and superstitious thirteenth episode of Chub Creek. Learn more about some of Gary's recording techniques, and listen to him explore the new world of sounds this opens up in a new song by Gary. Learn about what Gary used to burn in huge bonfires in front of his old house, and weep as he expresses his love for his acoustic guitar.

Wow. Never has a braver tale been told of courage, leadership and stamina. You wouldn't believe the pain and suffering Gary has gone through in the name of landscaping, not to mention podcasting. Gary shows us how he's a master Survivor. If you got too much music in episode 10, then this will make up for it, because there's a dearth of music and ample whining for listener love. Find out what other podcasters think about us as we share some thoughts with them. Listen to Dave dangerously dabble in world issues in the same breath as a riveting story about mowing the lawn. If you never listened to Chub Creek before, this is a great place to start because we're all over the place in this one. Don't be dink, Chub Creek makes you think!

The inaugural episode. Chub Creek is a collaboration between Dave and Gary, two very old friends who live about three thousand miles apart. Working only online, they produce music, skits, and commentary in this unique talk/music/comedy show. But don't worry that it's too polished or it doesn't have the podcast spirit. This show is still very rough around the edges. You'll never know what to expect. ]]> Tue, 15 Feb 2005 23:39:10 -0500 http://homepage.mac.com/chubcreek/iblog/chubcreek/B189300973/C435665667/E1962479450/index.html
