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 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 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 23 – Geminiraptor

Monday, 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.
