Andy Makes My Brain Hurt

January 6th, 2010 . by Tim Babb (TANcast's #1 Host/Editor Fan)

Ok so we’re recording the show a few days early this week since I’m doing some traveling this weekend. (I’m no Andy, but I’ve been known to take a trip or two). So I send a text to the boys asking…

From Tim: Wanna do the top 5 tv themes tonite?

Noah agreed right away, but then Andy sent this…

From Andy: ?? Like Top 5 Theme Songs?

I thought for a minute there must be a typo in my original text so I went back and looked. Other than my shorthand spelling of tonight, the text did indeed communicate the message I had intended. So I offered up the only reply I could…

From Tim: Um…yes

So I get back this…

From Andy: I’m on Sudafed and low sleep and (I’m) at work. I wasn’t sure I recalled what we’d talked about.

Ok this is a perfectly good excuse if I had texted him, “Wanna do that thing we talked about on the show last week?” THAT question is super vague and needs clarification. But does “top 5 tv themes” really have ANY other meaning? What else could a tv theme be? Type in “tv theme” into Google and all you get is references to songs…

But Andy’s brain doesn’t work like Google…

Now I turn it over to you, the reader…what do YOU think Andy thought I could have meant besides tv theme songs?

The Twelve Days of Samtsirhc

January 6th, 2010 . by Andy (TANcast's #1 Ear-Rapist)

As long as I am creating religions, I figured I should start making up new holidays. If you follow me on Twitter then you already know that starting December 14, which is now the Twelfth Day of Reverse-Christmas, I began stealing an increasing number of random items from my true love.

On this, the Twelfth Day of (Actual) Christmas (a.k.a. Epiphany), I’ll record for the ages what I took:

On the Twelfth Day of Reverse-Christmas I took from my old lady a Snickers bar left over from Halloween.

On the Eleventh Day of Reverse-Christmas I took from my old lady two unmatched socks and a Snickers bar left over from Halloween.

On the Tenth Day of Reverse-Christmas I took from my old lady three hairs from her brush, two unmatched socks, etc.

On the Ninth Day of Reverse-Christmas I took from my old lady four pairs of chones, three hairs from her brush, etc., etc.

On the Eighth Day of Reverse-Christmas I took from my old lady five Kellogg’s Corn Pops, four pairs of chones, etc., etc., etc.

On the Seventh Day of Reverse-Christmas I took from my old lady six hours of her life, five Kellogg’s Corn Pops, etc., etc., etc., etc.

On the Sixth Day of Reverse-Christmas I took from my old lady seven AA batteries, six hours of her life, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc.

On the Fifth Day of Reverse-Christmas I took from my old lady eight chocolate sprinkles, seven AA batteries, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc.

On the Fourth Day of Reverse-Christmas I took from my old lady nine Belated Christmas cards, eight chocolate sprinkles, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc.

On the Third Day of Reverse-Christmas I took from my old lady ten toenail clippings, nine Belated Christmas cards, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc.

On the Second Day of Reverse-Christmas I took from my old lady eleven blank CDs, ten toenail clippings, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc.

On the First Day of Reverse-Christmas (a.k.a.: Christmas) I took from my old lady twelve anatomically correct gingerbread men, eleven blank CDs, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc.

I now have a metaphorical ton of AA batteries, which is not to be confused with a metric ton(ne). I plan to use them to power the robot I made from the rest of that shit. I’m also keeping the 42 hours of her life, since I may need it in 20-30 years.

Only 342(-ish?) days left to decide what you will steal from your true love next Reverse-Christmas, so you best get cracking!

Feel free to use the comments to exchange Reverse-Christmas plans, recipes (they should involve picking food apart), etc.

The Innkeeper, Christmas’ Bitch

December 26th, 2009 . by Tim Babb (TANcast's #1 Host/Editor Fan)

So I was at church on Christmas eve, and the priest was talking about the Innkeeper from the Biblical Nativity story.

For those of you who aren’t aware, here’s the back story. Mary is pregnant with Jesus. She and her husband, Joseph, are traveling and trying to find a place to stay. I’m not sure why they didn’t head for a hospital since she was due to have the kid any minute…I guess their Obama-care hadn’t kicked in yet do so they were still with Kaiser. And we all know Kaiser’s plan for child birth, “Figure it out yourself fuckhole, it’s $90 a month…you don’t pay us enough to care.”

So Mary and Joseph happen upon an inn. They go ring the bell, or whatever they did to get the innkeeper’s attention in those days and they explain their situation and the innkeeper says, “There’s no room at the inn…you can stay in the barn though.”

Instantly he’s vilified as the bastard who couldn’t help out a pregnant lady. I think someone should come to this dude’s defense. So here are 5 reasons the Innkeeper is not a douchebag. Read the rest of this entry »

Kloseted?

December 26th, 2009 . by Andy (TANcast's #1 Ear-Rapist)

We’ve been doing TANcast for a while, so I think I can finally get something I posted to a private MySpace profile out in the open without being judged unfairly.

It is simply this:

I hate black people.

There! I’ve been wanting to say that out loud for a while now.

To be clear, there aren’t all that many that I hate and they certainly are not as numerous as the white people I hate (those fuckers are legion), so here’s wishing all the black people I don’t hate a festive Kwanzaa and a Happy New Year.

PS: See what I did up there? I used ambiguous language to have some fun. Ain’t I a stinker?

PPS: I’d just like to remind everyone that the best way to spot a counterfeit is to touch it. A fake may look convincing, but you would be surprised what your fingers can tell you that your eyes may have missed. This holds true for twenties and titties.

TANcast 079 – Die In A Christmas Fire

December 20th, 2009 . by Tim Babb (TANcast's #1 Host/Editor Fan)

Tim and Andy get finicky about food, Tim gets paranoid about X-mas presents, the boys wax nostalgic about video games, the boys discuss Christmas decor, the comedy of Brian Scolaro touches off an interesting thought experiment, Noah tries to understand the logic of SModcast, Tim is an insensitive douche, the boys trend dangerously close to racism, and Noah finds a shoe worse than Crocs.
