TANcast

I just noticed there are no blogs between the last 3 TANcast episodes.

I’ll come up with something tonight, I promise.

[CONTENT WARNING] TANcast features mature language and immature hosts. Listener discretion is advised.

The TANcasters take embarrassing themselves to a new level in this episode. Besides Noah and Tim’s childish bickering you’ll hear about: harming children, worst cases of food poisoning, new rules for the TANcast Drinking Game, pie vs cake, Barbara Streisand’s legs, retro active abortions, advice to murderers for escaping CSI, late night TV, shot/strange relationships, taxes, Panda Express attacks, baby self love, strip clubs, and the curse of the TANhouse.

This week’s TANlaughs were submitted by Heidi, Tony, and DJ Technoid!!!

[CONTENT WARNING] TANcast features mature language and immature hosts. Listener discretion is advised.
This week the boys fight sleepiness to bring you another magical/musical show touching on such wild and wacky topics as: Wild At Heart, Mtv’s website, Fast and Furious, Rockwell, Iggy Pop, Prince, gay marriage in Iowa, KFC, Quiznos, Panda Express, Twitter, Noah’s “Million Dollar Advertising idea,” and the Folsom Street Fair.

Then the show gets all serious with talk of the “logic” of layoffs, the BS of executive pay, the problems with health care, the purpose of the government, and the appeal of foreign countries.

Few people know that Tom Hanks is a true pimp. What’s his secret? He knows how to say just the right thing. Here are the Top 10 Tom Hanks Pick up lines*…

10. You wanna ride my Apollo 13…inches?

9. Let’s go back to my place and do a little Forrest Humping.

8. You know you wanna get up on Angels and Deez-nuts!

7. I’ve seen a lot of nice breasts but yours are in a League of Their Own

6. Get in the car, we’re going on the Road to Insertion

5. Why don’t you let me take your top off so me and your Bosom can become Buddies?

4. It may not be Green, but it’ll feel like a Mile

3. Are you ready for Charlie Wilson’s Wang?

2. Come away with me to a desert Island where I will Blast Away on you all night long!

1. Check your box, ’cause You’ve Got Male

*This is what happens when two comedians (myself and Ed Greer) are ride back from a show and are getting a little loopy late at night.

Below are three leaked trailers for as yet unannounced Disney film projects based on Disney Theme Park Rides.

Matterhorn: The Movie Trailer

Fuck it. I’ve been dancing around, trying to keep everything consistent, and it’s getting confusing. I’ve done a lot of soul-searching and I’ve come to the conclusion it just isn’t worth the effort anymore.

It’s time to unmask the monkey…

Update: The change has come. TANcast is now using the Blubrry Powerpress plugin to run our podcast. The feeds seem to be working, but shit always seems to happen right when I think everything is copacetic. I’ll do more on this tomorrow (like removing all the crap) but if you have any problems please let us know ASAP.

The end of TANcast using the PodPress plugin for WordPress is rapidly approaching.

Blubrry has just released version 0.7.1 of their Powerpress plugin with a ton of new features, including PodPress migration.

As we’ve said before, PodPress has essentially stood still for 15 months, breaking features in recent revisions of WordPress. Someone else patched this major issue about a month ago, but it’s too little, too late. Powerpress now has better features and cleaner code, and is actively being maintained and improved, not patched by 3rd parties to fix defects more than 8 months after the signs of breakage are demonstrated.

On top of everything else to date, PodPress is now saving our “include this file in our Podcast RSS feed” settings for each post, but not reading that setting back out of the database when we re-open the same post to update something. As such, the checkboxes in our editor interface that control whether the audio file gets included (i.e. whether this post will register as an episode in iTunes, etc.) load as un-checked. If we forget to re-check them and save (or the editor auto-saves), the post stops publishing an audio file and we look like we lost an episode. Awesome!

The only question now is: When?

The answer: Tick Tock…

I always seem to break TANcast in some unexpected way when I upgrade things (including every WordPress upgrade), so I wanted to toss out this heads-up at least 2 days before I throw the switch. When it happens, this post will be updated again to note that fact. At that point, if you see any breakage, please leave a comment on this post and/or send a message to @Mysterious_Andy on Twitter.

We’ll try to fix any issues before the heat death of the universe.
