It’s been a few weeks since our last show. OK, more than a few weeks. Since our last show, we went to the wiener dog races. And other things have happened, too.
And oh yeah. This is the last GeminiDragon episode. Be sure and subscribe to our new podcast, No Market Radio. We’ll be launching in conjunction with the beginning of NaPodPoMo, which starts November 1st.
The weekend before, we visited the world-famous Madonna Inn for our anniversary. We stayed in a very cave-like hotel room and had dinner in a very pink dining room.
We played some voicemails from Les. My concerns about Detroit being a Mad-Max like war zone have been verified! I’d still take Detroit over Waukegan, tho…
We received a package from Will Loomis. We opened it live on the podcast. It was jam-packed with Loomis And The Lust merch! Listen closely and learn how you can win a few Loomis discs for yourself!
I’ve been spending a lot of time digging thru old documents. I found some old medical insurance claims and was surprised when I found out what they were for. Also, Jen’s infamous zero-dollar paycheck from Kohl’s.
Jen’s fighting off a sinus infection. But she got to use her (fairly) new health insurance for the first time. That lead to a long discussion of the Affordable Care Act and the upcoming presidential election.
I went to an Independence Day barbecue. It was fun. Also, maybe I should start drinking more?
We finished out the show by interviewing Will Loomis of the band Loomis & The Lust. Will recently filed a lawsuit against British pop star Jessie J. Will believes Jessie’s hit song “Domino” is a ripoff of his song “Bright Red Chords.” We discussed the lawsuit as well as the band’s new album and its new lineup. Then we played the title track from that album, “Sports Suck:”
I have IDEAS. One of them involves suing the government. On a related note, I had to visit the local Social Security office, also known as the Black Hole of Joy.
It’s another high-energy Sunday morning solo show.
I played a voicemail from Nathan and talked about some of the other feedback we received for our last episode.
I’m not getting health insurance anytime soon. In related news, our homeowners insurance said our roof needs to be certified. Even tho the inspector from the insurance company said it looked fine when he inspected it.
I’m a tad bit obsessed with Variax guitars. (Here‘s the video I played during the podcast.)
Our heater isn’t working and it’s almost summer. Damn.
I don’t know why, but I went into a whole thing about the broadcasting school I went to years ago, and how I eventually got a (short-lived) job at a radio station.
Jen recently guested on the Girls Gone WoW and Obscurecast podcasts where she talked about video games with a bunch of other nerds.
I’m a little obsessed with the Digitech iPB10 pedalboard. It integrates with iPad and is REALLY COOL.
We had an interesting time trying to play Diablo III on launch night.
Our Internet experience at home is super slow and kinda sucky and we want to know what to do to make it better.
And no announcements at the end of the show but this summer is gonna be the Summer of Truth for GeminiDragon. Will the podcast still be here in the fall?
