Item 59 – Slaying the dragon

Monday, October 1st, 2012

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.

Item 58 – Quake cast

Saturday, August 11th, 2012

It’s too warm in here to type up proper shownotes. The highlights:

  • Earthquake
  • Passports
  • Podcass these days

Don’t forget about our Facebook page or the Canadia trip.

Item 57 – Gore-bellied earth-vexing jolthead

Monday, July 23rd, 2012

We went to the Renaissance Festival. I paid a woman to insult me.

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!

Here’s the YouTube interview clip I mentioned during the podcast:

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.

We played a fine song by Loudtalkers.

We finished up the program with a story about a town in Alaska that has a cat for its mayor. And a plea for contributions to our Canadia trip fund.

Item 56 – Taxes, penalties and lawsuits

Sunday, July 8th, 2012


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?

Make a pledge to our Trip to Canadia Fund and get a postcard from Canadia!

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:”

Item 55 – Tuck!

Thursday, June 28th, 2012

San Luis Obispo: rabid dogs EVERYWHERE.

Remembering the Taco Bell dog.

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.

Jen talked a lot about the Affordable Care Act. Also, idiots who want to move to Canadia.

We got our wall fixed and my allergies have improved. Jen’s just as sick as she ever was.

I wonder about finances and worrying about them and what’s “average.” Also, the $2.6M house I’m not looking up on Zillow in order to link to it.

I wonder about using Kickstarter to pay for a house recording studio.

Item 54 – 8,000 pounds of Spam

Thursday, June 14th, 2012

Jen’s back! And she’s got her own theory on this whole DiC thing.

We played a voice mail from Les.

Then, we played a sound clip of Jen comparing her new headset to her old one. (Hear the new set on the latest episode of Inside My Head.)

We covered a story about an expensive Canadian pizza.

More complaints about the neighbors.

Jen read comments from David and Colin, which lead to a discussion about Diablo III, piracy and paying for podcasts.

Our Internet connection is still slow but we’re not switching to another provider. Yet.

We read a story (and played some audio) about how Metallica is trying to help catch a murderer.

That was followed by a story about how a hitchhiking writer was shot in Montana. (He’s writing a book about “kindness in America.”)

Jen read some e-mails of questionable origin. (Hear Jen utter the phrase, “I’m always wanna have sex!”)

Then, we closed out the show with some audio of a Korean teacher who can’t quite pronounce the word “Coke.”

Item 52 – Solvang sausagefest

Sunday, June 3rd, 2012

Last week was Jen’s birthday. We baked her a gluten-free birthday cake and went on a trip to Solvang. Listen now and hear all of the fun details!

A solo show.

We don’t like where we live anymore and we want to move. Also, an update on the eBay guitar situation.
