TANcast

Am I the only one? I mean I never care about sports in general but this year…I don’t even care about the commercials.  I actually have the desire to AVOID the game. In the past I’ve just been indifferent.

Maybe this makes me less of a man, but then again maybe you can suck my manly nuts! Why does it concern me that some guys I’ve never met are playing a game I’m not interested in? I’d have more invested if I were playing a football video game…at least I’d have a real stake in the game. Hell, even if Andy or Noah were playing a football video game, I’d be more prone to watch that than the Superbowl. (Of course Andy would spend 4 hours exploring the 30 yard line and there’d be no actual game to watch)

That’s it…just had to piss on the Superbowl.  To those who will watch, have fun. To those like me who don’t care…is there any Star Trek on that day? 😉

At least I can spend the day editing TANcast 35 – Train Wreck 2: Wreck Harder!

In this episode, the boys debate dorkiness, encourage you to work like a comedian, and revisit the Never Ending Story.

Then Beyoncé tries to give you herpes of the mind, Craigslist misses some connections, Dave Attell’s greatness is celebrated, and IM programs are mused upon. Next, the TANboys review some “TANFlix:” The Darjeeling Limited, RocknRolla, Kung Fu Panda, Hell Boy 2, and Paul Blart: Mall Cop.

Finally the boys wind down with a discussion on ripping on each other, compare Magic the Gathering with the Penis Game, and call for your feedback on whether or not to do another TANcast game night special or drunken epiosde.

The following is a transcript from an IM conversation between Tim and Noah (interrupted by Tim’s wife Dynelle) that lead to the discussion in the first part of TANcast 034. (Some of the typos have been corrected for ease of reading)

noah: faggy boy

timbabbcomedian: Hey Noah, its Dynelle. I have a question for you. Tim and I are having a disagreement.

noah: oh goody, i get pulled into the drama

timbabbcomedian: I say that I am a smidge less dorky then Tim and he says that I am every bit as dorky as he is… but that I am hot.

timbabbcomedian: I say that by virtue the hotness makes me less dorky and he disagrees. Thoughts?

timbabbcomedian: so two questions.1. Am I as dorky at Tim? 2. Does hotness save you from total dorkiness?

TANcast is currently being upgraded behind the scenes.  It’s early on a Saturday, so hopefully none of you will notice.

This post will be updated when the upgrade is complete.

Update: The upgrade is complete and the WordPress Plugins have been reactivated.  The site should look and behave exactly as it used to.  If you see any problems, please either leave a comment on this post or, if you can’t, e-mail Andy (his e-mail address is super easy to guess).

Noah and Andy try to help Tim get Lost. Andy announces his special Century Bike Ride event. The boys watch some videos of people failing. Andy gives the scoop on his recent lay off. The boys discuss Sex in the City, babies (of course), ethnic advertising, crazy winter weather, dick tricks and other weird/gross things, Ricardo Montalban (which leads to Star Trek…of course), the best band ever: Incestuous Homosexual Brothers from Canada (Savage Garden), horses, and stripping accidents available for viewing on-line (see show notes).

Then Andy tells a “quick” story. Ha hah ahahhahah Hahahahha Hahahahhahahah….eh

I just stepped out of the house to warm up the car before taking my son to get a shot, and it is TEN FUCKING DEGREES out here (-12 C for people using the more sensible metric system). I live at a fairly low latitude and altitude, so this is pretty insane.

I miss California sometimes…

PS: This post got stuck in my iPhone a week ago and never posted, so I went back in time and put it in the right place.  It has since been warmer, almost as cold again, and then warmer again.  It’s like the thermometer is hooked up to a yo-yo.

Tim mentioned personal crises in a previous post. Here’s some details on mine.

The Bush-flavored economy finally bested me. My company had a huge (like 1/6 gone) “reduction in force” that included several directors and executives and moved around whole organizational structures. It also cost me and several people I work with (oops: worked with) our jobs.

I’m conflicted. I like the people still there (even the ones who I’m pretty sure picked me to cut) and I want the company to succeed. On the other hand, now I have to go find me a new jobby job.

Ah, well…

As the Bard himself said: Dadada, da, da. Another one bites the dust.

In case you care and use a Mac or Linux, Boxee has opened up its Alpha. So now anyone can download the software and try it. I personally haven’t used it that much but the main reason for that is I watch most things on the computer connected to my tv and it is running Vista. I have checked out XBMC and Plex (Mac Only) as well. So far I like Boxee the best because you can browse sites like Hulu, Comedy Central and Apple Trailers out of the box. I know you can do at least some of that stuff with XBMC and Plex but it seems you have to use scripts and plug ins and it was too much of a hassle for me. To be fair though I haven’t used any of the products that much. I will try and give them all a spin and give a more detailed review.

In other geek news. I am going to try and load Windows 7 on my Mac and run it in Parallels or Boot Camp, whichever works. I did a quick Google search and saw some people got it to work but I haven’t researched the best way to do it.

Nothing else to report for now.

Yup…we’re not in our little TANwindow this week. Personal crises, prior commitments, and poor planning and communication have created a perfect storm that amounts to no TANcast this week 🙁

Sorry, TANcastinators and TANcastanets. We’ll be back next week…we hope.

New Year, same ol’ TANcast…

In this episode Tim spoils the Dark Knight, Tim tattles on Noah, the guys pick the 5 celebrities they get to have sex with (no questions asked), Andy disses Golden Compass, Noah disses Uwe Boll and “busy” people, we learn about the TANboys’ superpowers, and a few celebrities come in to sign off the show.
