We’re on Google Plus!
So to celebrate their 21st episode and listening to your feedback, the guys are now delivering faster shows, cutting the lead time for an episode down from six days to two hours. Also, if you're on Google+, you can join a hangout and watch the show live(!) with the guys in clear view. Except Marcus, who tends to wander off camera a lot. We're still doing a lot of work here, so your feed back is most appreciated. Let them know what you think on the facebook page, or on Google Plus, +Intelligent Conversation.
Music this week comes from the wonderful Mr. Little Jeans, covering Arcade Fire's "The Suburbs." Marcus wants to make it clear that you should love Mr. Little Jeans. Do it. http://www.myspace.com/mrlittlejeans100
Have we done anything about this debt ceiling thing, yet? Come on guys, stop taking our lead! When Nic and Marcus bicker, it doesn't affect anyone. Just to show you what it's like to get along, the guys also talk about marriage, how hot everything is, and mourn the passing of Amy Winehouse.
This week's great song comes from Derek Bishop. The song is called "The Last Word" and is great. Check out his music at www.derekbishop.net
Marcus Needs a New Computer
HEY GUYS! DID YOU HEAR OSX LION CAME OUT!!! Marcus can't install it, because his computer is... well, come to think of it, it's actually pretty old. BUT STILL. JEEZ. Like the third world up in this podcast.
But that's not the only MAJOR DISASTER to happen this week. That's right, cancer hates men (it's science!) and Ruppert Murdoc did something, and it wasn't "be the bassist for the Gorillaz". But still, this Lion thing is the worst part of the world right now.
On Marcus's bright side, he wrote and recorded a song, entered it into a contest on LoadSavePoint.com and won a free copy of Splosion Man, which is why this week's episode has that song. Yes, this is Marcus. Ladies, feel free to throw the underwears.
Sooooo... turns out the Netflix thing is pretty sensitve to the guys. They sort of freaked out on each other. Nic pulled a gun, then Marcus pulled another gun and said something like, "If you shoot me, you better hope I can't pull the trigger fast enough to take you with me." And then Mugsy got into it, pointed a gun at Marcus and was like, "Well I'm going to make sure you go to hell if you do that, son," and Nic pulled out another gun and pointed it at Mugsy and said, "Well well, looks like we have a good ol' fashioned Netflix stand off here." It was pretty intense, and so it cuts out, but we wanted to let you know about it. In case you don't have the internet.
After everyone just calmed down and ate Transformers gummies, they eventually get to this week's Hypothetical Situation (again from Chris Vanek). Tired of Chris making the suggestions? You can submit a hypothetical situation, just let the guys know on Facebook or Twitter!
Music this week is "Everything Hood" via BabycakesA10. We keep it real up in the studio.
Independence Day+
How are you not on Google+ yet? It's where all the cool kids are, unless you're Marcus, in which case, you probably got in via a a blackmail letter. Good for you! We're not supporting criminal intent, we're just saying you can get pretty far in life when people think you're going to call them a racist.
The guys also talk about what they did on their week away, Transformers 3 and Friends With Benefits and the Lightning Round returns to talk about things you should already know how to do.
Music this week is "Ped Xing" by Jonathan Burks. Hey hey hey.
For the Kids
This weeks is a few hours late... I blame spiders, and by that I mean I'm using them as a scape goat!
We talk about children, parenting, Doctor Who, politics and anything else we thought of to throw into out one hour ten minute show.
The longest show yet! But that's ok, because it's a great episode. Sit back, enjoy some music by Tom Bolton "Hey You, Yeah You" and keep bringing us Hypothetical situations on our facebook page.
Business As Usual
Who's a pretty lion? Not a deadly lion, not a killer, deadly beast? YOU ARE! Let's wrassle!
If you think that's a bad idea, then wait until you hear the other bad ideas the guys come up with, like taking pictures of your little Representative or equating the r-word to getting a flat tire! Also, the guys talk about photographer Brooks Ayola (www.ayola.com) and how you could have won a shirt.
And a big thanks goes out to Gabriel Camacho this week, for supplying the return of HYPOTHETICAL SITUATION.
Arthur Yoria lends us his song, "The Lybians" today, which is good because it's both a) awesome and b) relates to our first topic. So don't skip the intro or the outro. It makes music fairy sad. If you want to hear more from him, he does great albums. www.arthuryoria.com
Geek WEEK!
It's geek week. With WWDC, E3 and a DC Universe Reboot, there is plenty of nerdy things to talk about. A new quick round of politics is introduced before moving onto our geekiness. Finish the whole thing up with a little talk about X-Men First Class and some games and that's a quality episode.
Sidenote... This is my[Nic] first time editing... so if it turns out awful... I blame... I don't know... anyone but me!
The music this week is brought to you by : Gentleman Losers singing "Nerd Rock". It's pretty rockin' I'm not going to lie.
Justin Timberlake is a Sphinx!
Ok, maybe Justin Timberlake isn't the master of riddles, but do you really think that if he wanted to be, he couldn't? So Marcus expresses is hatred (jealousy), while Nic catches us up on current events in Egypt, since no one's been paying attention. Also, the guys want to wish everyone involved with the military a very happy and very belated Memorial Day.
The rockin' song you guys are hearing this week is Arms Up's awesome tune "Streets/Cities." If you want to hear more from these guys, check out their bandcamp page at: http://armsup.bandcamp.com/
Nic makes it back in town between trips to talk about post-rapture jitters, the NYC no smoking ban, and a return of the Disaster of the Week with special guest, Joplin, MO. Marcus also grosses you out with fast food horror stories. Seriously, it's like bad comedy night at the Apollo. You guys have been great. Tip your waiters.
On a serious note, the people of Joplin, MO need your help. Please give. Visit www.redcross.org or 90999 to donate $10. This applies to all Disasters of the Week. Be a good person and give what you can.
The groovy song you hear this week is "Washing In The Blood of Rock n Roll" from The Professor and His One Man Dirty Rhythm and Blues Explosion. And there is nothing bad about it. At all.
