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 53 – Sleepy boos land

Sunday, June 10th, 2012

Jen’s asleep. So it’s a solo show.

More complaints about the neighbors.

Nathan got us a mention on The Morning Stream podcast!

I tried finding someone to join in via Skype. It didn’t work.

DiC(k)!

It’s been windy. And allergy-y.

I played a song by Tycho.

I put out a call on Twitter to see if anyone wanted to join the show via Skype. No one did. Then, I talked a little about guitar stuff.

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!

Item 32 – Sundae Friday

Friday, September 30th, 2011

I’m too tired to make real shownotes and I asked Twitter to make me some album art but Twitter failed. So, there’s no album art. And you can blame Twitter for that.

The song at the end of the show is called “Sunny Day” by Somnistatic. You can hear more songs (and even buy some!) at the Somnistatic Bandcamp page.

Item 29 – Under the wire

Sunday, 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

Thursday, 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

Monday, 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 18 – New Year’s funsplosion!

Saturday, January 1st, 2011

GeminiDragon18We were live on New Year’s eve! We experienced the usual technical difficulties getting started. I wondered why it is that humans decided to have the year start in the middle of winter instead of the summer. We replied to questions that we received from Colin and Les. We discussed this year’s most-wanted gift cards. We paused to fix a minor technical problem with Jen’s headphones. Jen had a story about the Wikileaks guy’s OkCupid profile. Colin joined us via the Skypes. We ambushed him by asking him his predictions for 2011. Then we went over a list of the year’s worst songs. We had some fun reading spam messages. We went through a list of YouTube’s most-viewed videos of 2010. We played an appropriate song by Tin Pan. Since he wasn’t listening earlier, we also got to ambush Medros with his predictions for 2011. Then we finished up with a list of the top ten Twitter trends of 2010.

After that, there’s some special bonus audio from the live pre-show.

Item 15 – Making priorities

Saturday, November 13th, 2010

GeminiDragon15It was a live(ly?) time for this GeminiDragon presentation. In typical fashion, my microphone stand broke a few minutes before we began the show. We started off with some important announcements. We’re participating in NaPodPoMo this year and we’re also now syndicating over the old Airferg RSS feed. We provided a brief history of our exploits in podcasting. Then I explained why it’s been a few weeks since our last presentation. We debated on whether or not it’d be better to spend $840,000 on a home in downtown San Luis Obispo, or if it’d be better to purchase an entire quadrant of Oklahoma. We covered a story about a Las Vegas hotel that’s cooking its patrons with a death ray. We played some prank-name audio:

Then we discussed how a reality-show contestant is suing Simon Cowell for being mean! Then it was time for a song by Gidgets Ga-Ga. The show was finished up with a list of unusual celebrity-linked products.

Item 14 – More than multiple

Wednesday, October 20th, 2010

GeminiDragon14A continuation of sorts to GeminiDragon 13. We were still live, for better or worse (probably worse). Despite a valiant attempt to reboot the situation, technical issues continued. Thankfully, Colin called us on the Skypes to help out. Colin had just recently learned of GeminiDragon, and had some thoughts to share on topics from previous presentations. Some interesting observations on Insane Clown Posse’s “Miracles,” thanks to this article. Also, this Tom Green video:
