Episode 9: Cable vs. Satellite
Are you a cable television subscriber wondering about satellite TV? Or, do you have a satellite dish and think maybe digital cable would be better? Here's the podcast for you, because Charlie and Stephen shoot it out, figuring out which one is better. Charlie is a cable television subscriber and Stephen has a satellite dish, and they fight over the pros and cons of each. They also dig deep into the mailbag and give away valuable prizes, as well as launch yet another stupendous Rapid-Fire Roundup® of Cool Products.
Rapid-Fire Roundup® of Cool Products
NeoRest by Toto
Toilet maker Toto makes sure that when you sit on their pot you'll be positive you're not in Kansas anymore. Not only does the space-age $5,000 toilet have a heated seat that lifts up automatically for guys, yes, that's right, it even wipes your ass for you. It's done with a little water jet, called a washlet, that cleans you up so well you won't even need toilet paper. Then as a grand finale it dries you off, too, and flushes automatically as you walk away.
Tiki Bar in Your Own Home
Make your own authentic tiki bar with the world of Polynesian products from tikibosko.com. Put on your grass skirt and get in luau mode because the drinks are served in coconuts here. Get your genuine handcarved bar stools, special totems, an outfit a bar in only the finest Polynesian style. Then it's time to sit back and enjoy. And as Joe Isuzu used to say, "Penn-oo may lay, kiki bobo."
Oregon Scientific WMR-968 Wireless Weather Station
If you really, really want to know what the weather is all the time, get yourself Oregon Scientific WMR-968 wireless weather station, which lets you up to five centers all over your house and send the data to the Web every 5 minutes.

Chameleon iPod Cases
Step up to the next level of iPod case design. These cases are only available in limited quantities, so take a look before it's too late.

No, baby, this is the real thing, where you can still control your iPod and protect it at the same time. Available in 26 exceptional designs, this is a way to set yourself apart from the maddening crowd.
