In an unrelated topic, we talk about Danny's Mom and how she just made it back from the hospital. Also, it is totally logical that we are so popular with the ladies.

This week is our first without Kelly so John recruited his daughter for the first female appearance on the podcast.

We also get a chance to experience Kelly's acting chops while he and John read a scene from Omega Man, a post-apocalyptic virus movie. Hang in there and reach out to us while you're bored: @cocktalehour on Twitter or cocktalehour@yahoo.com.

On a typical Saturday we gather in Kelly's studio and drink coffee while we offer insights to our listeners.

Hopefully we're back to normal next week, but you can always reach us on @cocktalehour on Twitter or Cocktalehour@yahoo.com.

It's scary and it's here, but never fear, you can stay inside with your hoarded water and toilet paper and enjoy the soothing voices of Danny, Kelly and John.

I have a little podcast called  Cocktale Hour that I run for about a dollar a month. I look at other services like Blubrry and Libsyn, and am shocked that they charge you for that service. I use a mix of antique, free services from Google and storage and delivery from Amazon. It is easy to use once you get the hang of it, and it struck me that maybe there is a need for someone to help podcasters out that don't want to pay for a subscription.  I can offer specific advice for what to do, but the whole thing looks like this: So, do you want some help or not?

Are you thinking about moving to Hollywood to make it as a actor, have no acting experience and not quite enough money to finance your own feature? We can help you make your dreams come true, that is if your dreams are to not do any of that mentioned above. Endless advice and wisdom on Cocktale Hour. Follow us on Twitter @CocktaleHour!

Kelly threw his back out and we still did a show! John's camo Crocs are a fashion statement in the worst way possible, and Danny has more helpful advice for the twenty-nothings at work.
