show recorded but not up.

jerame — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 22:15:40 +0000

that’s it. just wanted to rub Justin’s nose in it.

Holy Shit…. This still works?

jerame — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 21:38:10 +0000

Ok, so I talked to Justin yesterday and apparently we are still doing this show. His words were “Even if it is six months between shows, we are still doing it.” Well I don’t know about that, but I was starting to believe that we were pod-fading. That is a word used to describe podcast that no longer publish shows. So sorry for the delay. As always there is one coming……. Sooner or LATER……. Well Later more than likely. While we are getting all our ducks in a row for the next show please listen to some other podcast out there. I recommend The Sports Bizzo on iTunes…. “A Damn fine show that makes even a non-sports fan feel informed.” – Me…… The host are our very own Jon Mendoza and Chris “Thrilla” Miller…. always entertaining. Also check out This American Life’s podcast…. It’s free… just ignore the begging for money….

Thanks for your patience.

Justin — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 02:52:34 +0000

Hehe – haven’t had a super dramatic title in a while, so I thought I’d just throw a good old tabloid heading up there for you. In this episode Jerame and I talk about a few movies that are in theaters now and go a little in-depth on the “Golden Compass” argument. Unfortunately, Jon wasn’t with us this week but he’ll be back when we come back after the holidays.

Enjoy, and let us know what you think.

jerame — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 00:13:41 +0000

I don’t know if i like it. Oh well. Okay so if you listened to the last show you know that Jon is out of the country right now. By that I mean he is in Michigan for some ungodly reason. Probably doing something gay…. or not i don’t know. Any way he left town and we were planing on doing a show on tuesday…. but that didn’t happen….. so we will get a new one up at some point next week. Thank you for your infinite patience with our many shortcomings. By that I of course mean Justin and Jon’s lack of humor or wit…. I am getting very tired of carrying every show I mean step up for god sakes… Anyway…. I will rant about that later. Thanks for listening and caring…..

In this weeks show we talk about Al Gore’s recent ascension into a world that hasn’t even been graced by the likes of Ghandi – Winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. Well to be fair it wasn’t just Al Gore, although that’s the way that popular media likes to paint that picture.

And then we go on for a good time on Radiohead’s recent foray into DRM free music distribution. It’s a great show so be sure to listen to all of it.
