Just an update

Hey everyone, just putting a post up to let everyone know that we're finishing up a break and will be posting a new show soon. Stay tuned.

Here is our 23rd episode.

Hey there everyone, this week we have a talk with Julia about all kinds of stuff that we don't normally talk about on the show. We chat about Fairy Tale T.V. shows, the perils of tech company IPOs, and the cultural impact of being ageless like in the movie In Time.

Here's another episode. Episode 12 that is.

You're not crazy, we did just post two episodes back to back. This was one we recorded a few weeks ago with Mary as our guest and I never remembered to post. Sorry.



Download/Stream

Stuff in the show:
Should we have an audience?
Watch "Birth of a Nation." It's awfully racist, and like, 3 hours long.
Check out Dan Aykroyd's vodka brand "Crystal Head Vodka."
Remember Pogs?!?!
RPG craziness.
We talk a little about Star Wars and sci-fi.
Yeah, look at this bullshit:
"E.T. original"
"E.T. re-issue"
We recorded this a long time ago, so disregard our tax talk.

An E3 themed show! Now we're just like G4!

Now that E3 has come and gone, we figured it would be a great way to burn an hour. All the cool kids were doing it. For Episode 11, Bob the insomniac video game geek is our guest and we try to determine who "won" E3 or whatever.

We still exist!!!

Hey everybody, I just wanted to post an update on why the show disappeared. We are still alive and kicking, but there have been a multitude of conflicting events in both of the hosts' personal lives. We should have a new episode up this week. Sorry for the delay and thanks for listening.

Friday, April 8, 2011

Oh I forgot, we have a podcast to run.

Hello everyone! We forgot to mention last show that we were going on a little mini-vacation and would be missing a show. Don't fret, we'll be dropping a couple of shows back to back. We're joined by Kirk for episode 9 and he hassles us about not getting the RSS feed straightened out yet, and proclaims this, "The Big Gay Episode."
