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 50 – Remix!

Sunday, May 20th, 2012

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.

Jen’s birthday is coming up.

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?

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 10 – The authentic Likes

Sunday, September 26th, 2010

GeminiDragon10GeminiDragon 10 was live a couple days ago. I needed a cough drop, so I got one. Meanwhile, Jen “entertained” y’all by narrating the whole thing. Jen read a comment that David left in response to GeminiDragon 9. Then we discussed how the corn syrup industry would like to rename its product. We celebrated the arrival of the vuvuzela in the Oxford dictionary. Apparently, the Danes weren’t very happy with Whitney Houston this summer. You decide:

Some amusement-park thingie run by Coca-Cola connected its customers directly to Facebook via it’s “Like Machine.” Jen thinks this is lame. I just want to get to the authentic Likes. We heard my favorite song by (sorta) local band The Shamblers, who recently played a (sorta) reunion show that we attended. Drunken stupidity stories. We got ‘em. We finish things up with a partial list of celebrity-types who’ll be turning 40 next year.
