June 9th, 2008 at 1:31 pm
Cant wait for the comp smod that should be funny, Thanks for the smod
June 9th, 2008 at 2:53 pm
I don’t think the delayed release of SModcast on itunes is helping the website issues…. did it really make a difference with the fans waiting?? nope, I think it made it worse by making everyone come here at one time.
anyways.. how could Scott even conceive of eating pork for life. Thats just a filthy beast to be eating forever.. I lve bacon, but … come on… it somes from an animal that rolls around in SHIT for fun… I’m more into the animal that just stands there and farts and chewing..
June 9th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
why is only 7 minutes downlloading?
June 9th, 2008 at 3:36 pm

June 10th, 2008 at 6:46 am
Thanks for another Smod. Never dissapointed.
June 10th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
See King Corn. It’s all about corn, grain and cows. It’s not that interesting, but it answers all the questions you bring up in this podcast.
June 10th, 2008 at 1:34 pm
Corn fed beef tastes way better, in addition to cost savings. I’ve been to Europe beef is dry, tough & tasteless.
In cows there is both fat around the meat, which is trimmed away in most cases & fat in the meat called marbling. The more marbling the better the cut & the grade (USDA prime is given to top 4% of beef or most marbled)
In Kobe beef the marbling is so thick it looks like wide
stripes. Kobe beef does not need to be chewed it melts in your mouth like a handful of snow.
In most cases pork has less than beef. Bacon & pork ribs are pretty high in fat.

Along the lines of humans not being made to drink milk, I found this article that talks about how humans are not designed to eat meat!
http://www.celestialhealing.net/physicalveg3.htm
There are other articles that talk about it too. I love going against nature. It’s so tasty.
June 10th, 2008 at 2:23 pm
You guys really need to watch an episode of Good Eats.
June 10th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
Actually, Kevin’s body would produce some good steaks. If you don’t do a lot of exercising (and I think he said he doesn’t) the meat doesn’t become as tough because it doesn’t produce a lot of connective tissues.
June 10th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
“YESSS!!!!… i see a little of kevin and scott inside of me each and every week”
THat’s what you get for bending over around them…. BUNG!!!
I work 3rd shift, and can’t wait to listen to this then. Smodcasts totally make my nights.
June 10th, 2008 at 4:50 pm
When the French occupied England many years ago, the servants of the rulers had to bring meat to those in power. A side effect of this was the acquisition of French words into the English lexicon. Hence, a cow(English) is found in the fields of the peasants and beef(French) is found on the plates of the nobles.

What if every time you masturbated, instead of a tiny load with millions of sperm, you passed one giant sperm?
and it was alive?
and it had your face?
June 11th, 2008 at 5:29 am
[...] just felt I needed to write a disclaimer for those who went to their website, or subscribed to the SModcast after hearing me and Tripp talk about it. I hope your jaw is not [...]

“My dignity… Blaurgh!”
Made me laugh so hard everyone in the bus stared at me.
This SMod was great, inspired me to have a berbeque this weekend.
June 12th, 2008 at 10:40 am
4 pounds of raw meat and you think it was an bad egg that made you sick? Kevin! Despite your impressive vocabulary, you sometimes astound me with your occasional SMatarded notions. You might as well have been drinking pool water and chomping on a piece of poo. The amount of bacteria that you consumed from 4 pounds of raw meat (mixed with raw eggs) could have killed you.
June 13th, 2008 at 1:07 am
Dave G your a LYING PUSSY!! Chimps eat meat. Human have ALWAYS eaten meat. Every culture in which Archaeologists have found remnants of human civilization has included animal bones. Yes people used to eat less meat but humans have always eaten as much meat as they could get their mits on. Even to this day you can tell how most economies are doing by just looking at whether meat consumption is up or down. The only bit of Peta Pagan Propaganda that has any validity is that beef & ONLY beef is partially digested in the large intestine. But the salient point is that it can be digested. If we were meant not to eat something our bodies would not be able adjust & take nutrients from it.
Even if this bullshit was correct the conclusion is sub-retarded. All real medicine is not natural. Living in houses & sleeping in beds is not natural. Any mode of transportation other than barefoot walking is not natural. Electricity is not natural either. Farming vegetables is not natural either. All fruits & vegetables have been changed by man a lot over time making them even further unnatural.
When any living creature can do something that it previously couldn’t do there’s a scientific word for it dipshit —
EVOLUTION!!
Vegans are sub-human. Carnivores & omnivores are at the top of the food chain in every ecosystem. Vegans are by definition lower on the food chain and less evolved so its ok to eat vegans. Vegans, its what for dinner bitches!!!
Violence, slavery and the domination of women came pretty natural to man too. I guess that means Dave G. is pro slavery, violence & dominating women.

bull= adult fertile male
steer= castrated male
cow= adult female( and namesake)
heifer=unbred female
veal= calf never fed grains or hay(grass) milk fed only
grain is a cows candy they love it put hay and grain in front of them they’ll always eat the grain first
June 13th, 2008 at 10:07 pm
That steak tartare story is simultaneously awesome & gross as hell. Meanwhile, steak tartare is just nasty.
June 14th, 2008 at 1:06 am
Hey, I can’t get the dl to start on the site or from itunes… is something wrong?
June 14th, 2008 at 7:18 am
I sometimes think that the Smodcasts cover too many subjects, but this is really one of the worst Smodcasts to me. Actually I would say this is the only one I don’t like. I wish they’d have gotten off the meat topic after like 5 mins. Anyways can’t wait for the next one.
June 14th, 2008 at 10:47 pm
@Flea Market Lady
If you’re connected to a router (a box that usually has an antenna on it for wireless connections), it may need to be reset. You can accomplish this by pushing the tiny reset button on the back with a ball point pen, or by unplugging, counting slowly to 20 and plugging it back in.
Not that I mind the tech question or anything, but you probably don’t wanna ask for help like that here, since the chance of an answer is kind of a crap shoot.
I’d recommend calling your local computer tech. If they won’t tell you what I told you for free, they’re likely not worth whatever their price tag says.
… aaaand in the interest of getting back on topic …
Scott, Smitty, you guys are the best. Of course I love the View Askew flicks, and even the worst Smodcast gets repeated on my iTunes list. Thanks for the year+ of Smods.
However, did I hear Kevin correctly? Is Steak Tartare really raw meat and egg? I like steak and eggs as much as the next omnivore, but I can’t see how that combination can be tasty in goo form …
June 15th, 2008 at 12:07 am
Anyway u guys can start putting up a play list as well? It would be nice to know the order the songs r in and plus sometimes its just interesting to look at/maybe download later on
June 15th, 2008 at 10:54 am
Oh yeah, Ken rules!
June 16th, 2008 at 2:19 am
no new smod this week?
June 16th, 2008 at 3:05 am
Where’s the new SMod, Kev?
June 16th, 2008 at 4:19 am
Come on! Put up 54!!
June 25th, 2008 at 6:31 pm
Kevin! yes you can still buy steak-umm’s, and they’re just as good as when I was a kid (and they still come wrapped between wax paper). I can find them at my local Mjier’s grocery store, but here’s a list of where you can get them:
http://www.steakumm.com/where.htm

I’ve never commented on anything Kevin Smith related online, and I love your productions, movies, and sundry materials, and having recently heard about SModcast, I thought this would be an interesting, un-edited offering which I assumed would be terrifically entertaining. But man, I was shuddering the entire time at this orgy of misinformation. Obviously you’re not going for informational programming, but if I can just suggest, go read Michael Pollin’s “Omnivore’s Dilemma” which deals with everything you’re talking about at length and in depth. And for the record, beef is cow protein (muscle), grain creates fat marbling which melts and flavors meat when heated (hence Japanese Wagyu or Kobe beef, which is cut from cows that are fed grain and beer; filet mignon is almost never cooked to more than 120 degrees because it lacks fat, and is often surrounded in bacon because of the same reason), cows do only eat grass (and are called ruminants for doing so), but are not native to the Americas, whose ruminant species was always the Buffalo, and pig’s belly is cured with salt, and usually in America, smoked, to make bacon.
You guys are awesome. But feel free to look into the plethora of source material on this question if you’re interested.
July 4th, 2008 at 12:04 pm
The USDA defines bacon as “the cured belly of a swine carcass” ha ha ha, I love SModcast, Hate bacon.
July 18th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
Allan - I’ve you’ve listened to this podcast for any length of time, you would know that Mos has read “Omnivore’s Dilemma” and has mentioned it a number of times. Obviously, this doesn’t mean anything he’s said on the podcast is factually correct, but he has read it.
August 7th, 2008 at 1:59 am
I would like to add a bit to what “crash crawford”
He said:
bull= adult fertile male
steer= castrated male
cow= adult female( and namesake)
heifer=unbred female
veal= calf never fed grains or hay(grass) milk fed only
I say:
Calves: Baby cattle (mentioned above, but not explained)
So a bull is a male kept to breed. Usually chosen for its superior traits above other male cattle. He is put in a pen with a bunch of ladies and has his way with them, then is moved to a new pen and has his way with them etc.
Steers are where we get most our meat. They are often castrated by having heavy rubber bands tied around their balls, which squeeze them until they fall off. then we fatten them up and have hamburgers…yum!
Cows are valued for their ability to a. make calves (baby cattle)and their ability to lactate! Then we get to vacuum it from their teats and make cheese, White Russians and chocolate milk…yum!
That is all I wanted to add.
August 14th, 2008 at 9:01 pm
I have a couple things to add:
-First, with the whole slaughter house thing, they stun the steers inbetween the eyes first, so I’d say they are pretty unaware of what happens after that point. Interesting tidbit, I worked at a slaughter house last summer, Superior Farms, which process sheep and goats, and they actually use trained sheep to lead the whole lot to the kill floor and up the ramp. Once the first couple sheep start going the rest follow, and the lead sheep will fall back as to avoid an untimely death.
-Secondly, as far as cattle being self-aware and what not, most cattle are somewhat intelligent. From my years of working with Black Angus, I would say their intelligence levels are equal to the canines’. [At least the cattle I have worked with] Most have different personalities and quirks.
August 10th, 2009 at 4:53 pm
Wow, Scott doesn’t know shit about cattle! This discussion reeks of Helen Keller..cattle prefer grass over grain?? lol, I think somebody’s been smoking that grass.
September 28th, 2009 at 3:09 pm
Major props go out to Ken for putting Paul McCartney’s ‘Coming Up’ in during Kevin’s bowel movement story. haha, brilliant.
