There are changes afoot here at Vully Bully Ranch, but you should be able to count on getting the show every week with no problems.

So what is up with the British? It seems they are teaching Reading, Writing, and Pole Dancing to their fat kids!! Is this a horrible idea, or is it just brilliant? Cruze has the story. Plus, details on the first Lesbian Cartoon Character on the TRU/FLS Challenge.

This show is packed with music, including a couple of awesome holiday tracks!! The songs are awesome but it is a little mellower than usual. Must have been the egg-nog.

Welcome to the RADIO FREE CRUZE Podcast, show number 69! (Insert sophomoric joke here).

On this show, Cruze utters some words he never thought he would say. BRITNEY, PUT SOME DAMN PANTIES ON! He also offers some thoughts on our voyeuristic young starlet, and how seeing her forbidden region was so much more disappointing than he thought it would be.

There is also a brand new TV CLICKER QUIZ on the show, and Giant Brian returns with HEADLINES, even though they are a week old.

The real star of this show, however, is not Brian, or even Britney's Hoo-Hoo. The real star is the amazing music. Check out HOT HOT HEAT, THE SHINS, 99 MEN, BLACK LAB, STEREOMOVERS, MUNK, and SIGNAL TO NOISE. Plus, Cruze tells you how to get MUNK'S Christmas song for free this month!

Here comes the RADIO FREE CRUZE Podcast Number 68...where Cruze tries to figure out where Generation X went so wrong. We all thought they had so much promise. But don't judge them...they have only done what EVERY generation has done, and what every generation WILL do...SELL OUT!

Cruze talks about the article in the current issue of DETAILS, plus gives some thoughts of his own on the matter, as well as giving us seven REALLY INCREDIBLE indie rock tracks, from SPONGE, THE KIDCRASH, EDDISON, THE REWINDS, CREATURE REPUBLIC, MAYDAY PARADE, and THE AKAs (ARE EVERYWHERE).

Cruze also takes a moment to share what he is thankful for at this time of the year. He even sounds a little misty-eyed.

Be sure to check out our 24-hour New Rock, Indie, and Alternative Music radio station, streaming live every day at http://www.radiofreecruze.com

Hey kids!! Get your ray guns and get ready to fight off the coming ALIEN ATTACK!!!

It is not CRUZE's prediction, it is the prediction of a former chief of the MINISTRY OF DEFENSE in England! He is convinced of this, and believes that we have left ourselves vulnerable. He also write science fiction stories, so it is not like he has an active imagination or anything...

Cruze gives us the story on this episode, NUMBER 66 of RADIO FREE CRUZE, plus he brings us the story of LORNE GREENE and his NIPPLE in the TRU/FLS CHALLENGE. He also takes issue with the Evangelical Right (surprise, surprise) because of the latest thing that they are all up in arms about.

Episode number 65 of the New Rock, Indie, and Alternative Music Podcast is here!

Don't you just hate it when you're being buried, and you're lowered into the ground in your casket, and the funeral attendees have all left, and you're still alive with no way to get out of the coffin? Cruze hates that too, so he's passing along the story of a brand new invention that you can buy to make sure that you are never BURIED ALIVE!!!! Too bad he didn't have this story for the Halloween show...

Is FAITH HILL a sore loser? Yes...or maybe she just has honest reactions! Either way, Cruze has a link to the video so you can see her getting pretty pissed off that CARRIE UNDERWOOD took home a CMA Award that Faith thought should have been hers. Brilliant stuff. GIANT BRIAN is back with HEADLINES, and Cruze debuts a new feature on the show, AMAZING ANIMAL STORIES.

The music is great once again, with tracks from BLACK LAB, HONEYCUT, CEDAR FALLS, AWAY WITH THE FAIRYS, AZIZ, THE DROWNOUT, and EARWIG.

We will always have Paris...to say something stupid! The Hotel Heiress has now told Seventeen Magazine that she would rather eat than have sex. And we believe her, right?

Cruze examines the story in this, the 64th episode of RADIO FREE CRUZE, plus brings us some incredible music from MORCHEEBA, GRANIAN, ROYAL TREATMENT PLANT, STEREOMOVERS, TOKYO POLICE CLUB, SHOVELHOOK, and TRANSITION.

The TRU/FLS Challenge returns, and we learn about Oprah Winfrey's latest giveaway, plus why Nigeria smells so bad. I know you were wondering...

Giant Brian checks in with HEADLINES, and Cruze wonders about whether the fact that Mel Gibson is a racist moron means there is no value to his new movie. Chances are it will suck, so the point will be moot, but what if it doesn't? Should decent, non-racist people feel weird if they go to see it? Your feedback would be helpful on this one...

Be sure to go to www.radiofreecruze.com and check out past episodes of the show, as well as RADIO FREE CRUZE ONLINE, our 24-hour Internet Radio Station.

Have a great week!

What a show! It is RADIO FREE CRUZE #62, where Cruze risks running afoul of US Vice President Dick Cheney! Most likely nothing will happen, but that is what Stevevn Howards thought, too, and he was thrown in jail by the Secret Service!

Yes, we have sunk to new lows here at the RADIO FREE CRUZE podcast...we are going to tell you in this episode how YOU can buy panties that belonged to Rene Zelweger. And to make matters worse, they are Granny-Panties. Oh well...

That story is TRUE, by the way...

We DO have some good news though...GIANT BRIAN returns this episode with his segment HEADLINES WITH THE GIANT. We make up, and all is well. Meanwhile, there is a TV Clicker Quiz, a Video Of The Month, and email feedback on last week's "Actors You Won't See In Movies" question. Cool stuff!

Welcome to RADIO FREE CRUZE Episode 60, from the Land Of The Free, where it is ok to make farting noises when you are talking about the President. That's not the case in Poland, where a man is wanted by the law, and has been reported to Interpol, for doing just that. Good thing Cruze is not in Poland, or he might not have even finished this show!

It is a great episode of RFC this week, with the long-awaited return of Giant Brian's HEADLINES WITH THE GIANT. Sort of. You'll see. Anyway, Cruze asks if Robin Williams is a comic genius, or a comic loser, and he actually wants your feedback on this.

Did FOX-TV allow the F-BOMB to air on last Sunday Night's edition of THE FAMILY GUY? Or is it all a publicity stunt? Cruze gets to the bottom of it (and plays you the clip) on this episode of the New Rock and Alternative Music Podcast, RADIO FREE CRUZE!

The show SHOULD also contain the triumphant return of HEADLINES WITH THE GIANT, but it doesn't, thanks to the inability of GIANT BRIAN to use email correctly. Oh well. The show DOES include a new TV Clicker Quiz, and some great email about the mysterious creature that Cruze told us about in episode 58 last week.

Most importantly though, the music ROCKS this week. Check out LYNAM, THE CONSTANTINES, JACK IN THE PULPIT, SOLD STATE LOGIC, RIPPED, LETTERS BURNING, and WINDSOR DRIVE. All really amazing tracks this week.

It is a rather strange show this week...maybe Cruze was smoking the same thing as the new Extreme Elmo, because he cracks himself up a few times on the podcast and the rest of us have no idea what he is laughing about.

Paris Hilton says that she is CELIBATE! I think she would also like to sell you some beachfront property in Kansas.

Paris also says that the music on this episode of the RADIO FREE CRUZE podcast really sucks. Since she's so truthful, you might as well take her word for it and just delete this podcast right now. In case you decide to stick around, you will be able to check out music from FREE DIAMONDS, OCTOBER FALL, THE FRAUDS, NEW LONDON FIRE, SOPHIA RAMOS, TEN WAYS FROM SUNDAY, and THE LORDZ, featuring TIM ARMSTRONG from RANCID.

So, maybe it is just Cruze, but MEL GIBSON is a bigoted jerk! What you say when you are drunk may actually be more truthful than what you say when you are sober, and you've had a chance to think more carefully. That is the theory that Cruze puts forth about the man who brought us an overwraught religious movie, as well as the memorable BIRD ON A WIRE, and the cable mainstay LETHAL WEAPON III. Do we forgive "Riggs?" Cruze does not think so!

The music on Episdoe 51 is as good as MEL GIBSON is predjudiced. Check out TRICKY, HARVEY DANGER, MOTION CITY SOUNDTRACK, TREMOLO, SALIENT, ERASE ERATTA, and DUSTY HUGHES. A great lineup this week! Plus, there is a brand new TV Clicker Quiz, another VIDEO OF THE MONTH (which you HAVE to see) and Cruze gives his SPAM OF THE WEEK.

Clowns are evil. Cruze has proof! That is the message of the New Rock and Alternative Music Show RADIO FREE CRUZE 48.

This show will present you with two stories that Cruze uses to make his case, and to rationalize his otherwise irrational fear of clowns. Which he is not joking about, by the way. He is really uncomfortable around clowns, mimes, and women with too much makeup.

Despite his fears, however, show 48 features an amazing playlist of music! Check out FALL OUT BOY, FOLIO, THE ACADEMY IS, SUPRALUXE, A PHOENIX DESIRE, ORANGE PARK and ROOKIE OF THE YEAR. Really great stuff...

Learn about the legendary DUNGOSAURUS in the TRUFLS Challenge, plus find out about the moron who wants to make it legal to smoke while you pump gas at the gas station. What an idiot. And there is also a rather entertaining SPAM OF THE WEEK.

Ok, at least the music is good. And be sure to check out RADIO FREE CRUZE ONLINE. It is really cool, and you can hear it at www.radiofreecruze.com

RADIO FREE CRUZE Podcast Number 47 is here, and Cruze loves how the British describe getting fired as GETTING SACKED. It just sounds cooler than the way Americans say it. So this show is entitled WHY STAR JONES WAS SACKED, and takes its title from a listener submitte TOP 5 list that Cruze shares on the show.

He also shares some amazing music, from POWERVIBE, LESS THAN JAKE, SKITTISH, FRANCINE, LYNAM, THE HUSH SOUND, and THE ROPES. Really choice stuff on this episode.

We are not winning any podcast awards, but we are back! It is RADIO FREE CRUZE number 46 for a brand new week, and we dare to answer the age old question IS GOD DEAD? DOES HE EXIST?

Cruze also plays back and exerpt from THE GIANT SHOW that illustrates just how far off the grid GIANT BRIAN has gone. This guy needs some professional help. And do not miss the listener submitted Top 5 lists, particularly the one where female listener Robyn shares the bad pickup lines that guys have use on her.

And there is also some mumbo jumbo about Cruze being afraid of clowns. Maybe he should just get over it.

It all makes for a great show, though. Download it now!

Run for your lives! It is RADIO FREE CRUZE number 45! And it is phaser against lightsaber in this episode, as Cruze asks the question that has plagued humankind for centuries. Who would win in a war between Star Trek and Star Wars?

Ok, maybe you have never laid awake at night wondering that, but Cruze has, and he lets his geek flag fly on this episode of the show. And he uses the question as a perfect excuse to introduce everyone to the awesome new fan produced video movie STAR TREK vs STAR WARS. The link to the video is in the expanded show notes at www.radiofreecruze.com.

The music is as epic as the space battle on this show. Check out ROCK KILLS KID, FALL OUT BOY, SHOVELHOOK, MY EPIPHANY, MANIC DRIVE, BLACK TIE DYNASTY, and AHAB REX. It is a truly awesome lineup of music!

GIANT BRIAN is back, but he is insulting Cruze and spreading untrue statements. Who knows what is going on with this guy. Plus there is a new story about pedophile Gary Glitter, and Cruze reads the first two submitted TOP 5 lists. Keep them coming!

This is the New Rock and Alternative Music Podcast that your mother warned you about.

Oh yeah. Your mum never warned you about podcasts. Anyway, it's a great show this week, with a look at the latest Yahoo list of the Worst Movies Of All Time! Plus, Cruze shares the audio of Jodie Foster quoting Eminem at a Graduation Speech she delivered last week. Yes, it is pathetic. There is a link to the video, which is even more pathetic, at www.radiofreecruze.com.

There are amazing tunes on the show this week, from THE EVERYOTHERS, UNCROWNED, THE OCTOBER, SUPERBEING, GRANIAN, and AMERICAN HEARTBREAK. Plus a TV Clicker Quiz, and the sixth installment of HEADLINES WITH THE GIANT.

Plus find out about Saddam Hussein and his appetite for Rabbit Pad Thai, as well as this weeks HEADLINES WITH THE GIANT, another TRUFLS Challenge, and details on how you can still get your own RELO iPod case for free!

Plus, Cruze eats a little crow about his prediction last week on show number 39 that Nintendo was headed for disaster with their new gaming console, the Wii. Yes, that is what it is called. The Nintendo Wii. Cruze still doesn't know how anyone is going to admit they are buying it, but maybe it will not be the disaster that he originally predicted.

Enjoy the show...!!

Welcome to episode 39 of the New Rock Indie Music Podcast, RADIO FREE CRUZE, in which Cruze asks the question, Have the Powers That Be at NINTENDO lost their freaking minds? Wait till you hear what they plan to name the new Nintendo gaming system. It is just absurd.

Anyway, Cruze is back with the May VIDEO OF THE MONTH, and if you are an animal lover you will enjoy the clip he is calling THE BULL STRIKES BACK. And the music is awesome, as well. COHEED AND CAMBRIA, JOE STRUMMER, BROTHER LOVE, MY MACHINE, MOTION SOUNDTRACK, and JOHN VANDERSLICE are all featured here on show 39.

Plus...Cruze will tell you how you can get a free RELO iPod case just for reviewing the show. And check out another HEADLINES WITH THE GIANT, as well as PODCAST TV CLICKER QUIZ number 17.

Welcome back to the New Rock and Alternative Music Podcast, RADIO FREE CRUZE! On episode #38, Cruze gets off on a bit of a rant about how he believes the current ridiculously high gas prices are all about Corporate Greed, not about shortages. If it is just the oil companies passing along the legitimate costs, then why are they all reporting record profits?

Welcome to RADIO FREE CRUZE #36, where we tell the story of the amazing, race winning Dung Beetle named George W. Bush. Cruze also has the greatest Music Feud story ever. Its MINI KISS vs TINY KISS. A feud between two all dwarf KISS tribute bands. What a great time this is to be alive!

As expected, there is also great music from THE DESCENDENTS, MY EPIPHANY, SHOVELHOOK, TEN WAYS FROM SUNDAY, CLEAR UK, FIRST TIME FALLEN, and ARMOR FOR SLEEP. And do not miss the debut of HEADLINES WITH THE GIANT, featuring the week in review from the host of the GIANT SHOW podcast.

Cruze explains in the show how you can get a free iPod case for your Nano or iPod Video from his new sponsor, RELO, just by spreading the word about RADIO FREE CRUZE.

Note: Any similarities between the US President, George W. Bush, and the Dung Beetle from the story in this episode, and purely coincidental. The Dung Beetle is actually a pretty useful fellow.

Have a great week...

It's show Number 35 for the New Rock and Alternative Music Podcast, and Cruze has some thoughts about the medium of Podcasting, and a new report that suggests that Podcasting may already be dead before it really even gets started!

Plus we introduce the Video Of the Month, and it is awesome. If you are having a bad day, go to the show notes at www.radiofreecruze.com and check out the video of STAR JONES getting hit on her enormous head by a football, then falling on the ground and moaning in pain. Cruze knows it is not nice to laugh at other peoples pain, but hey, it is STAR JONES, after all!

Find out about the three nutted squirrel in the TRU FLS CHALLENGE, and check out the catchy new theme song intro for Morons In The News. A jam packed show!

OK, someone must have put something in Cruzes diet soda this episode, because he goes off about false advertising and totally misses the chance to name this episode after the LINDSEY LOHAN story about her showing her bare butt to an auditorium full of kids!

Oh, well. The integrity of a slice of pizza is a pretty important thing, after all.

There is also great music on the show, from THE SUBWAYS, SINCH, GOODBYE VALENTINE, STIMULATOR, FRESH SUNDAY, POOR BAILEY, and FROM SATELLITE. The TV Clicker Quiz is back, and Cruze tells you where to find a street called FARFROMPOOPEN ROAD.
