Listened to the Bonuscast.

I thought it was pretty awesome. In fact, the very last segment about George R.R. Martin made me laugh my ass off and it is rare to get me to laugh about anything from the internet.

muckhole · « **Reply #63 on:** February 09, 2009, 06:54:34 PM »

I think the Bonuscast was my favorite one so far. Some funny shit in there.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #64 on:** February 09, 2009, 06:54:54 PM »

that personal ads bits was a lot less bitter in text form

That whole thing was funny as hell.

oh man, the ending made me bust up, too. that's a good edit, eel.

i was seriously unintelligible in parts, though. sudafed and me: not friends!

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #67 on:** February 09, 2009, 06:58:25 PM »

thanks guys

now that we have a couple of these under our belts, i think i am going to start submitting it to some podcast directories and search engines, etc.

muckhole · « **Reply #68 on:** February 09, 2009, 06:59:52 PM »

I'm actually thinking Sudafed and "Outhouse" beer may be the magic combination.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #69 on:** February 09, 2009, 07:35:41 PM »

if you guys had to categorize this show, what category would you put it in

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #70 on:** February 09, 2009, 08:06:15 PM »

"homosexual interest"

I think the Bonuscast bumps it up to full-scale "homoerotic".

bi-weekly for the most part, but i guess there will be times when one comes right after the other

for instance, i think episode 3 will be next week because we have a guest - but there will probably be a show-less week after that

to be honest i really can't handle editing a weekly podcast at the moment (although i did cut my time by a third from the first to second show), and it does take a decent chunk of our time to record, so we really don't want this to stop being fun and become a chore that starts intruding on our normal lives

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #76 on:** February 09, 2009, 10:01:06 PM »

yup, it should be every other week after the one recording this week.

What the fuck, now Zune is totally fucking with you, the file won't even show up in my library after I download it. $:-\$

Fuck yeah, it's in the podcast section now! Only, something went wrong...

(Image removed from quote.)

maybe it's because i used the # sign in the title, rss feeds have trouble with symbols and such

at least it's on there, now

i've been adding it to rss feed search engines and directories like crazy

i also added it to the facebook podcasts app and whored it out to all NINE of my facebook friends $:-\$

Reb · « **Reply #79 on:** February 10, 2009, 08:27:10 AM »

It's not on the marketplace, I found out you can just add random RSS feeds in the podcast section of Zune.

The double entry is also fixed, only thing left is the symbols he fucks up.
Or did you intentionally make it Bonuscastãç?

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #80 on:** February 10, 2009, 08:31:39 AM »

no, that was supposed to be a ™ symbol because i am mentally twelve years old and still think putting the ™ on the end of everything is funny

Listening to the bonus cast, I think so far this is the most entertaining one yet... Section about meeting women and singles ads is GREAT! Agree with everything you've said (especially with the "ask a friend to read the profile before you post it"), but meeting at the gym isn't that great, btw.. Most girls are listening to their iPods and usually don't want to be interrupted. And also, the build section you have to watch out for... a lot will say "athletic and toned" or "average", but will give you an Angle shot (and in real life they are built like a tank).

I have high expectations for the next episode section on PUAs, don't let me down folks...

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #85 on:** February 10, 2009, 09:55:23 AM »

I think the presence of SexBot 3000 as the emcee in the bonuscast is what put it over the top, methinks.

border · « **Reply #86 on:** February 10, 2009, 10:21:57 AM »

I thought the Bonuscast was better than Episode 2. The segment on Internet personals was pretty good, though I'm surprised there wasn't more to be said as so many people create the most distinguished mentally-challenged profiles.

Here are my most favorite fuck-ups (posted on this forum before I think, but still good):

This one of course breaks Eel's Rule Against High Expectations, as well as my more important rule of "Don't Post Pictures of Your Kids - That's Creepy." Yes, that quote is actually from her profile:

Also, this is not the same profile but still probably from the department of "Being Far Too Honest and Expecting Far Too Much":

Quote

I'm a chubby girl. A Fat Kid. I'm overweight and I like myself that way. I don't want to change it. I don't care if you think I'll be more attractive, because if you don't like me now you'll never like me. And I don't care if it will make me healthier - that's never been a concern of mine. I love food and I hate exercise. Listen closely to these words: I do not want to lose weight. I just don't. I think I'm beautiful and sexy. I'm 42-34-42 with huge boobs and a big round ass and I weigh about 250 pounds.

Quote

I can't stay awake sometimes without it. Mostly this is because of my sleep disorder - ugliest of all sleep disorders, the sleep disorder of the Elderly and Fat, Sleep Apnea........I go through cycles of depression now and again. It doesn't mean I'll ever kill myself (that's against my religion, you can read about it later), it just means sometimes I really feel like shit for no particular reason. So I turn to my fucked-up coping mechanisms: smoking pot, and self injury. I am a masochist. For me, self-injury is both a release and an expression of my feelings....I scratch and cut my arms, sometimes deeper than is healthy I guess, slap myself, stitch my skin, and pull my own hair. I do enjoy being bitten and having nails dug into me, but only when I say so.

Quote

I was raped when I was fourteen. Although I usually tell people it doesn't bother me, in truth it has affected my life profoundly in very negative ways. Because my innocence was stolen from me in such a violent way, I am inable to equate sex with love in any fashion. The two concepts are opposites for me, though I engage in them both with great enthusiasm. I hope someday to meet someone who can show me the true meaning of Making Love. Until then, however, I will always be a broken person, and that is something that everyone that comes close to me has to deal with in their own way. It is painful to talk about, but I prefer to be up front about my past so that there is no confusion later, because sadly once I have sex with someone, I can never grow to truly love them, and if I fall in love with someone I have no desire to have sex with them.

HERE'S THE KICKER:

Quote

You should message me if.............You're not a writer or artist (I don't date my peers), but maybe a musician.

Okay, so you are 100-125 pounds overweight (and only going to get heavier since you don't give a shit about your size). You have severe psychological, emotional, and sexual problems. And you refuse to date anyone that likes to write or paint. "I don't date my peers"? I don't think you are in the position to make such arbitrary decisions, but okay.

i liked the stephen king / hp lovecraft stuff

but then i'm a horror aficionado.

and yes, HP was quite fucked in the head. ST Joshi has done some GREAT studies on him if you care.

I told you guys, it was the sexbot! Also the sitar laden music.

On the only dating website profile I've ever created the only caveat I put in was not to contact me if you were a Republican.

-The personals rant I found to be great and very true, being well-versed in the realm of online dating.
-The sitars and the sexbot in the section introductions
-Liked the thing about arguing taste and how it's OK to like non "haute-culture" things

Funny and interesting to anyone listening, plus you guys really sounded like you were having fun which rubs off.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #94 on:** February 10, 2009, 02:36:05 PM »

origin of Sexbot 3000:

prole said i should put up a warning before episode 2 that we were drunk/loopy on cold medicine

i thought one of those text-to-speech things would be funny, i had some leftover cuts from the first edit that i thought were good but a bit out of place, and i didn't want to waste them

then i found some indian music which gave me the giggles when i started mixing it with the text-to-speech voice

glad you guys liked it, i wasn't sure, most stuff that makes me laugh only draws blank stares from others

it would probably lose its charm quickly if it were a regular thing, but the bonuscasts will likely be a "once in a great while" type thing

Oblivion · « **Reply #95 on:** February 10, 2009, 08:22:14 PM »

Heart episode 2. Voice-wise, Neither Drinky nor Eel sounded like I expected. Tone-wise, Eel was about right, and Drinky seemed a bit off until the subject of the Wii arose.

Good stuff overall.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #96 on:** February 10, 2009, 08:29:05 PM »

i should point out that we are going to be recording the show with our guest andrew vestal on thursday, so if you want to leave a voice mail or anything do so by tomorrow evening

cool breeze · « **Reply #97 on:** February 10, 2009, 08:42:38 PM »

Episode 2 was good. Bonuscast was also good, but tbh, that robotic Indian voice was a bit corny.

and was it prole who said "they want their mother, but a whore" about what men want? SPOT ON. My friend's girlfriend is so much like his mom that it's creepy to hang around them.

- Topics were more interesting. I understand there's a lot of fantasy novel fans and tech nerds but it isn't my cup of tea. The Bonuscast did away with both of these topics for the most part. If they were in there, it was minimal.

- It was funnier. That online dating rant didn't seem bitter at all because pointing out the delusions of these ads are always funny.

- It just seemed focused. I don't think this was the intention but the meandering conversation was cut down significantly.

Flannel Boy · « **Reply #108 on:** February 15, 2009, 09:22:41 PM »

The personal ad segment was too long and the blog article from which you were reading had too many obvious takes. Otherwise, the bonuscast was another good episode.
