Item 30 – Toaster quest

August 18th, 2011

I killed our toaster. So we went on a quest to get a new one. Thanks to Colin for taking our raw footage and turning it into something watchable. Music heard in the video is by Dommin.

Item 29 – Under the wire

July 31st, 2011

GeminiDragon29We made this month’s podcast just under the wire. TV! Allergies! Music/podcasting projects! These are some of the fun things we discussed while recording this. Also, thanks to Nathan for making a donation last month.

Sites we mentioned towards the end:
Inside My Head
Halfway Around The World
Shawn’s blog

Item 28 – Super fly ho

June 16th, 2011

GeminiDragon28We promised you one podcast per month. Here it is for June. Consider your ears blessed. I don’t really wanna put together show notes right now. Which, if you think about it really, who cares anyway? Most people just download the episodes, listen once and then delete ‘em. And honestly if they can’t take the time to appreciate the effort that goes into writing a quality show summary then why should I even bother? Podcast listeners. What a bunch of no-respect having freeloaders. By the way, don’t forget to visit our tip jar. I mean, I know you won’t. Freeloader.

Item 27 – Hoarders bingo

May 23rd, 2011

GeminiDragon27We’ve been gone for over two months but we come back strong with some on-air troubleshooting of the audio levels. We provide an explanation and some thoughts on why it’s been so long. I made an “official” announcement about my new personal website. We covered our great shed reorganization/yard sale of 2011. I briefly mentioned that I played an open mic in March. Then we talked a lot about TV shows we’ve been watching: “Hoarders,” “Hoarding: Buried Alive,” “Deadliest Catch,” and “Sister Wives.”

Item 26 – Magnificent member

March 18th, 2011

GeminiDragon26I’m not really in any mood to type up proper show notes. Here’s the digest version:

Iten 25 – Filler

March 6th, 2011

GeminiDragon25We’re busy! So this week’s presentation is Jen-free. And possibly entertainment-free, as well. I gave an update on our studio liquidation contest (we have our first winner in the form of David!). I gave a few thoughts on the state of this whole tiger’s blood business. Then, I finished things out with a track by The Johnny Starlings.

Item 24 – Axl’s not gonna sue

February 27th, 2011

GeminiDragon24Buttons – how do they work? I was wondering at the start of today’s program. We responded to some feedback and talked about the .tv Internet extension. Jen answered a question about the long-awaited followup to her first book. (Also, this.) We reviewed the film Smash His Camera. We covered a story about how cell phones were found in the possession of Charles Manson. That was followed up bu a PRESUMABLY (!) non-related story about an office worker who croaked at her desk. Next, this:

Next we read a story about a Tennessee woman who was saved by her daily pizza habit. Following that, we discovered who Axl Rose is suing this week. Then we played a bouncy song by Fake Elegance. We recapped our exciting studio liquidation contest. Finally, we rounded out the program with the top 10 of the 50 greatest guitar riffs of all time.

Item 23 – Geminiraptor

February 21st, 2011

GeminiDragon23Another unlive presentation. The live ones will be back soon. Maybe. We responded to some feedback (thanks, David and yarnspinner!). We talked about how I filled in for a sick Colin on the most recent Halfway Around The World episode. We announced our first contest! We read an article about how the band Smashing Pumpkins’ new bassist is (allegedly) one of the girls on the band’s album from 1993. We discussed a story sent in by Nathan about a teacher who was fired because of her blog. We played some audio from the news reporter who had an on-air “malfunction” and gave our own thoughts. Then it was time for obligatory Bieber news. That was followed up with a song by JacksonsWarehouse. Then we read another story submitted by Nathan about a real Gemini dragon! We finished things up with an announcement of the 10-haiku-per-day project beginning next month.

Item 22 – Mammoth, deadly cock and Baals

February 14th, 2011

GeminiDragon22I was nursing a cough lolly at the start of the show due to an allergic reaction. We gave an update on Jen’s jury duty summons. Thanks to feedback from David, Rowley, Les, Nathan, Erk and Robert, the audience has unlocked the bribery badge. Well done, audience. Prizes coming soon! I made an officially unofficial announcement about the future of my blog. Also, domain-name conspiracy theories. Then we covered a story about an avenging cock. After that, we discussed how a survey shows that California is full of fat kids. From California to Indiana where they’ve got some serious Baals:

Scientists want to resurrect a mammoth. Using SCIENCE! Of course, no one knows why they want to do this. A woman in India was ripped off when it turned out her husband wasn’t a dude. We played a fine, fine song by The Hold Steady. We brought the whole thing home with an important question from WikiAnswers.

Item 21 – Abuse, threats and bribery

February 6th, 2011

GeminiDragon21We weren’t live again this week as we’re still working on some technical issues from the big studio move-around. It’s Super Bowl Sunday! And we don’t care. But we did talk about how I found an extra legal live stream of the last playoff game involving the Chicago Bears. That spun off into a discussion of a-la-carte media consumption. We updated the request made during our last show for comments from the audience. We read some feedback from Rowley and David. We went over the results of our highly interactive poll from last week. We read a story about a new marijuana-powered superhero. That was followed by us wondering if our hometown will begin to feel “the Oprah effect.” Then it was time for this:

Apparently, participating in social media may get you laid faster. First it was earthquakes. Now California may be annihilated by a superstorm. We played a jam by The Skelters. Finally, we finished up the program with an article about a cell-phone swallowing crocodile.
