TANcast

The time is coming near for TANcast: The PREPisode…the episode that lets any new listeners in on the many inside jokes and references we do every week on TANcast. But, as usual, we need your help…

As we mentioned on episode 97, we’re going to do a “High Five” count down of categories of inside jokes. As we list off each category, we’ll give examples of inside jokes form that category. That’s where you come in. We need your suggestions for inside jokes that fall into one of these 5 categories:

5) The Boys (Tim Andy & Noah)-This would be the place for any characteristics, back story, or habits of the boys that get referenced a lot.

4) Friends & Family– This category will be all about friends we mention on the show.

3) Media– We reference a lot of things from other podcasts, to movies, to TV…this is the place for the ones that stick out the most.

2) Past Segments-We often refer to jokes we’ve done in past episodes. But if the next episode is your first, you would have no idea what we’re talking about. This is the category where we’ll re-cap those bits.

1) Surprise-Not going to tell you what the #1 category is. After all, it would be pretty lame if we made a whole episode that had nothing for our long time listeners to enjoy, wouldn’t it?

Got any suggestions? Don’t worry…you don’t even have to decide what category they fall in (or even if it doesn’t fall into any of them…we’ll make it work). Just leave a comment with something(s) you think people need to know to get the most out of TANcast.

Hurry get your comments in before May 9, 2010!

This week Noah prepares for the zombie apocalypse, Andy has a requiem for a scene, Noah reminds Andy’s wife of Tracey Morgan, Tim gets angry about gay discrimination at a prom, Tim gets put in his place (on a separate topic), Tim is baffled by the success of the Squeakquel, the boys ponder Twitter spam, and TANcast devolves in to the SModcast Cliff’s Notes.

Talk about a video aimed at a small audience….to get the video below you have to have already seen the Star Trek “It’s a Fake/It’s Real” video we talked about a few episodes back AND you have to know about KFC’s new “Double Down” sandwich PLUS you have to know that there is now a vegan version of the sandwich. If you’ve already got all that information, then you might get a chuckle out of this:

This week, Noah and And talk about the release of the iPad, Tim plans a trip to Walt Disney World, Andy’s has anniversary plans, Noah and Tim love I Love Movies, and the boys close it out with a classic style 15 minute wrap up.

I know this makes me a hypocrite after my last post…
But this picture is hilarious to me:

I know, I know…it adds nothing to the political discourse, it doesn’t even have anything to do with Palin and her personality or opinions, and it makes me look like an immature asshole for re-posting it.

…but, damn it, I got me a good laugh outta that bad boy.

Okay so yesterday was April Fool’s (as one of the “fools” on this site demonstrated with his usual flair and skill) I was keeping things low key yesterday and joining fan pages and groups that I disagree with on Facebook. For instance, I joined Sarah Palin’s fan page as well as Glen Beck’s. Ha ha! Funny to me and a few of my pals who got the joke. I didn’t post anything on these groups because I wasn’t doing it to start shit, just to make myself laugh. So I went to resign from the groups after midnight and when I got to the last one, a group that purported to be a group that was against the health care bill, I read some of the most ignorant hateful shit! A small sampling:

“Wish Obama had Micheal Jackson’s Docter…”

“Someone needs to walk up to Obama, look him straight in the eyes, and bitchslap him right across the face.”

“That what happen’s when you start letting FRIED CHICKEN eating mother f er’s run the country ???”

Now in fairness, a number of the group’s members posted disapproving comments on that last one. But the other two had many “likes” and there were plenty of similarly themed comments posted as replies to much more reasoned posts and links. It was enough to make me post the following on my way out:

“I joined this group to be ironic for April Fool’s Day. After reading some posts, I feel bad for you. A few of you have some very valid and interesting points that could really make the debate more productive…but you seem to be surrounded by crying babies who wouldn’t like Obama or the democrats no matter what they did or didn’t do. Good luck with your little group, kids.”

Someone decided to post a reply saying “it’s april 2nd.” Since I had left the group, I couldn’t reply to her so I sent her a message:

“I joined the group on April Fool’s Day. I removed myself today.

Have a great life.
-Tim”

To which she responded:
“already got one… hope the view is nice with your head up your bum =)”

Really? REALLY?! My head is up my bum? Didn’t I just say that this group had “some very valid and interesting points that could really make the debate more productive?” I know I did, actually, that’s why I just quoted it. Way to pick an argument where there wasn’t one. Well, whatever, that was just one comment it’s not like…what? there are more comments on my post now? aw crap… Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve been sitting on this for a little while, not sure how I wanted to say it. Its been fun and strange and amazing, but my wife and I have decided that its time to say goodbye to TANcast and focus 100% on our family.

I told Tim and Andy last week, and we’ve been talking about “What Happens Next” since then. They both agreed I should be the one to break the news.

The site won’t move and the show won’t change it’s name. I will still be the “N in TANcast” through TANcast 100 (triple-digits!). I will probably do a guest shot every once in a while after that, but from TANcast 101 on it will be Tim and Andy’s show. Andy said he won’t be turning off my access to the site or to email, so I may log in and post something when I have time and something to say.

They are already talking to a few different people about being regular guest hosts and I’m looking forward to listening to it every week.

I’m a little sad, but like the breakup of the TAN House, it had to happen some time.
