TANcast

This week, due to illness…

March 2nd, 2009 . by Tim Babb (TANcast's #1 Host/Editor Fan)

Hey gang! As you’ll eventually hear when I get this week’s episode up, I have come down with some sort of ailment with symptoms both unenjoyable and somewhat comical. (Which is also a good description of TANcast as a whole)

Anyway, I haven’t had a chance to edit this weeks episode yet so I am starting at this very second. Sorry for the delay. I’ll get it up as soon as I can (tee hee “get it up”)

We know you are sick…

February 27th, 2009 . by Andy (TANcast's #1 Ear-Rapist)

… but how sick are you?

As promised in the last TANcast, I have here for your viewing pleasure a funny little video from CollegeHumor about the one kind of porn you can’t find online.  The video is funny, but the real treat is playing a “Where’s Waldo?” -esque game of trying to spot all the porn references the song makes.

Lets call this version “Where’s Dildo?”

Wear your sicko badge (or badger, you twisted freak) with honor and leave a comment on how many you picked out.  I’ll say this much: I think I caught enough that I should be worried.  The Internet is for Porn, as they say, but I may have spent too much time jacked in.

I’ve hidden the video after the break so that you have to click through.  Be forewarned: it is not graphic, but it is suggestive enough to be NSFW.

TANcast 038 – We Will Chimp Out On You

February 23rd, 2009 . by Tim Babb (TANcast's #1 Host/Editor Fan)

This week’s episode is sponsored by episode 22 of Tim Babb’s Kingdom Comedy on You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96GjdbKlOHU

This episode the TANcrew creates a new superhero, Andy battles mother nature, Noah and Andy give Tim crap anonymously, and you’ll find out why you shouldn’t mess with chimps, tigers, donkeys, or magnets.

Then the boys critique some recent SModcasts, give Kevin Smith some unwelcome and unneeded advice, talk taxes, talk cars, talk about the dangers of China, they show some love for posters on TANcast.com, and they end things by showing some hate for DirecTV, Comcast, & Time Warner Cable.

Stupid hack, gigs are for comics!

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

So I was at a comedy show recently, and a few comics came in and bumped a bunch of us back. It was only by about 20 minutes or so and I still got on and got out of there at a reasonable hour…so it wasn’t the end of the world. But I was kind of annoyed because it wasn’t like Dave Chappelle, Dane Cook, and Brian Reagan walked in. It was 3 comics who if I said their names you wouldn’t have heard of them. Not saying they weren’t funny (in fact one of them is one of my favorite comics in LA…but more on that later) I’m just saying they weren’t “stars.” It was a little annoying to be bumped for “non-celebrities.” But whatever…it’s just a reminder that I am a very small fish in a very large pond. But apparently another comic didn’t take it so well…

Cooler heads?

February 18th, 2009 . by Tim Babb (TANcast's #1 Host/Editor Fan)

Ok…so a comedian I’ve never met from Texas just e-mailed me…er…excuse me…SPAM’ed me about getting free tickets to his show.

As we discussed on TANcast 34, I hate this. When I send out e-mails, I send them to people I actually think would enjoy the show. I don’t just blindly e-mail everyone on my list and it annoys me that other comics aren’t as considerate.

But this douche isn’t even one of my friends! I’ve never met him. I’ve never seen him. Fuck him!

So I want to send this e-mail in response, but I’m worried it might be too harsh:

Really dude? I’m a comedian. It’s right there in my name…”Tim Babb Comedian.”

How often do you go see comedians you never met just because they message you? I’ll bet not very often. I bet you’re busy working on your own shows.

I’m doing the same thing…but I don’t invite comedians to my shows unless I can get them stage time. So did you send me this because you can get me a guest set at one of your shows or are you just a tool sending out mass e-mails to comedians?

Why do I have a feeling I know the answer?

Thoughts?

Dear Zombie Ann Landers

February 15th, 2009 . by Andy (TANcast's #1 Ear-Rapist)

There is someone I used to know who has looked me up on a social network site and wants to add me as a friend.  While we were friendly, I wouldn’t characterize us as having been friends; it would be more fair to call us “amicable associates”.

The real rub, Zombie Ann, is that I sometimes talk about actual personal stuff on this social network; the sort of stuff that I wouldn’t talk about in public, with “work buddies” who aren’t also “actual friends”, or with friends-of-friends.  As such, I don’t feel comfortable accepting this friend request and letting this person into my private affairs.  On the other hand, this person is quite nice, was always friendly, and may feel insulted or snubbed if I reject/ignore the friend request.

What should I do?

Sincerely,

Friendly Friend of a Friendly Friend

TANcast 037?! – No One Can Love You Like You Can Love You

February 14th, 2009 . by Tim Babb (TANcast's #1 Host/Editor Fan)

This Valentine’s Day episode is sponsored by the premier Valentine’s Day issue of Kougar Magazine featuring TANcast’s own Tim Babb as the featured comedian. Check it out now at KougarMagazine.com

In this Valentine’s Day show full of hate, the TANboys hate on the woman who just had 8 babies, Noah tells a confusing stripper story, the boys ponder the practice of tipping, and nothing says “Valentine’s Day” like a discussion of angry poop!

Then Noah captures the stealthiness of the US Post Office, Tim tells a horror story of stand-up comedy, the boys talk of fossilized babies, signing things with a penis, Tim gets taken out so Andy takes the opportunity to talk Linux, Noah farts so loud and clear you can smell it, Noah and Andy muse about the strangeness of dogs, the boys talk about their Valentine’s plans, Noah and Andy spoil Lost, and the show ends with a Requiem for a TANcast!

JUICY!

February 14th, 2009 . by Andy (TANcast's #1 Ear-Rapist)

I failed to mention this on the TANcast we just recorded last night, but TANcast is now also available via the Blubrry network:

http://blubrry.com/tancast/

As I mentioned previously, we’ll be swapping our nigh-abandoned podcasting plugin, PodPress, with Blubrry’s Powerpress plugin, just as soon as they release the next update that enables auto-migration of old posts.  We’re also starting to use the BluBrry stats mechanism to track who’s listening (in its defense, PodPress has stats, too), and may eventually include an ad or two in the podcast.  TANcast doesn’t pay for itself, not by a long shot…

Being listed on Blubrry also gets us a new avenue for exposure, so if you reached this site from there please leave us a comment and let us know what you think.  We don’t care how you get the show, as long as you love us!

TANcast 035 – Train Wreck 2: Wreck Harder

February 1st, 2009 . by Tim Babb (TANcast's #1 Host/Editor Fan)

This week the show goes off the rails thanks to Tim and his crappy router and his internet-leaching neighbors. But just like a train wreck, you’ll be drawn to it in spite of yourself….and you’ll hear Tim’s story of hanging with 5 hot Kougars in their underwear, which leads to talk of strip clubs, Noah and Andy talk Taken and Watchmen, there’s talk of IMAX theaters, a quick game of Insult Improv, Andy’s year of funny things, Andy’s wife’s squirrel vendetta, Andy’s Mom is a hit in China, the phenomenon of free shit, soda vs cancer vs Yahoo Answers, and finally an interesting sex term.
