The Podcast Returns!

posted Wednesday, 15 November 2006

The podcast is back bitches! This was the last one we recorded before I left NYC months ago, where we addressed a variety of listener questions. Needless to say, we found it pretty difficult to stay on topic, and in this first segment for example, it takes us 20 full minutes to answer two questions. It was recorded on a particularly hungover Sunday morning and takes a while to get cooking, but it definitely gets livelier in future installments. Due to our hungoverness, the audio is half-assed at best, but you should be able to make everything out, and we fixed the problem down the line. We recorded about two hours. Enjoy this first chunk.

And also enjoy the downright hilarious verbal smackdown the administrators at Blog-City threw at me when I dared question them about the various site problems I've been having:

One thing we don't really appreciate is people banking their problems until they are in a huge big pile and then encouraging us to "help them stay" or they will leave us. Support is here to help *all* the time, every little issue and we have by far the most feature rich blogging service out there. If you want to try out others, you are your own boss.

Now THAT's customer service, my friends!

I feel honored to be the first question! Thanks guys! I am satisfied with your honest answers. Josh, if everyone did, i'd be naked all day. Pat, I am wearing a 3/4 length sleeve shirt as we speak, damn it! And Ian, I'm sorry, but I wear pointed witch shoes. Oh well.

Two things that girls wear that I absolutely hate are shawls and those new "Ugs boots".

There are a lot of girls who in an attempt to look mature wear these ridiculous shawls. Grandmothers wear them, not girls whom I want to see naked. No guy on this earth finds them attractive. You might as well wear a Mexican poncho. I think the idea that these were attractive was perpetrated by the fact that all girls hate each other (this is a truism that I have come to accept. No matter what gals, you can't stand it if even the ugliest guy on earth is paying more attention to another girl. Doesn't mean you want to sleep with him, you just resent not getting the maximum attention). So one girl, who hates another (any two girls) sees the girl with the shawl and says, that it looks good. From there it just snowballs and every girl is wearing one.

Second I hate these new "Ugs" boots. In all honesty these may not be new, but I am just now seeing them here in the Midwest. These are named for being ugly. What is the matter with all of you? They are like furry napoleon dynamite dork boots (sometimes called snow boots). I got my ass beat into 6th grade for wearing these dork boots to go sledding(also for other reasons), and so I propose that we start kicking the shit out of girls for wearing these (again, also for other reasons). Now, these "Ugs" are coming with leather straps that run criss cross (Wiggity wiggity wiggity whack) up the calf section of the boot. These new ridiculous creations look like barbarian boots. Like something that Conan would wear. Like a cave man. That is real attractive. You hear a lot of guys say "I wish I was dating a girl with a much more barbaric quality" don't you?

While I agree that some girls go way too far with the Ugg boots--like wearing them with a mini skirt in the dead of winter--I have to ask--have you ever put your foot into one of these babies? Good lord. They're incredibly comfortable, not to mention warm. I'm a fan.

I hope that you have a free acct with blog-city, if not, give your money to a different company. I'll check out the podcast later.

My full-fledged endorsement of LiveJournal stands.

Rob, at this point, I don't think anyone questions your loyalty to LiveJournal.

Give me LiveJournal or give me death!

Hahaha...yeah, but no reason not to SINK THE NAILS INTO THE COFFIN ALL THE FURTHER!

I actually debated posting that comment based on the thought "am I being too pushy and annoying about LiveJournal? I must have recommended it like eighty-five-thousand times on that blog!" Then I thought, "if someone converts to LiveJournal and only has to overcome a mere temporary annoyance in the process, it's prob'ly for the better for all parties involved."

Personally, I love the cockiness blog-city showed in their response. Anyone with attitude like that certainly deserves my business, if only I had anything to say. I have no preference either way, but just in the interest of stirring up trouble - fuck LiveJournal.

And I have never seen these "Ugs" boots you speak of. But I live in New Mexico, so if it is a fad in the rest of the country it should get here in, say, 2015.

SOMEHOW, where a "reaction" to facilitate the stirring up of trouble is concerned, I'm entirely indifferent to the opinion of an internet stranger!

Furthermore if that's really how ya felt/feel, rock on I say.

Mike,

Your argument seems slightly inconsistent (assuming the crux of your comment is: "All UGG boots/shawls on women are repugnant"). You must admit that if what you consider to be an attractive girl was wearing ONLY the shawl and/or boots, you'd be harder than Chinese algebra. Eh?

Hey, hear about Kramer’s outburst. Wow. I’ve been to a few comedy gigs in NYC – A LOT of comedians drop racial insults as part of their act… I guess he forgot the punch line though. Yikes.
