TANcast

Below is the video I mentioned on the new Tancast. It is technically safe for work but I wouldn’t watch it at work. Now enjoy.

In this episode, the TANboys talk sexual harassment, tell the tale of “Angela,” and try to pick up SModcast’s slack. Then an onslaught of TANcast movie reviews past, present and future…featuring: Burn After Reading, Bad Lieutenant, Dark Knight, Jack Frost, American Pie, Ghostbusters 3, and the Day the Earth Stood Still.

Then the boys hatch another plan to get Giada De Laurentiis to come on the show. Followed by some super-dorky techno babble, a misguided salute to Paul Newman, reasons you never want to talk to TANboys on the phone, a sneak preview of Noah’s reception, and finally a shameless plea to nominate us for the Pod Cast Awards. In fact, click the banner below and you can vote for us now…

Following on what Tim just said, several years ago Tim, Noah, OG Steph, and I all took a trip that I lovingly call “24 Hours of Disney”.

We started with a power nap, then got up around 3 AM, loaded into my car, and drove from San Jose to Anaheim. The rest of them continued to sleep/doze on the way down while I passed semis (for our foreign readers, that is pronounced “sem-eyes” and means “large trucks pulling large trailers”) at 100 mph on Interstate 5 in the pitch black. Hey, it kept me awake.

****This is a blog from my early days of blogging that I post here because I had reason to revisit this train of thought recently…enjoy****

I know at least a few parents read this…I have something very important to tell you…

Take your children to Disneyland

Not NOW…sit back down and keep reading. Just take them at least once between the ages of three and ten. I was lucky enough to go at least four times in that time period. My mom and dad took me. And I’ve only just realized that THAT’S why I love the place so much. Every time I go back now it’s an instant portal to the past, to people I love, to old smiles and songs that filled my little heart with joy, and to a time when a little kid really believed that if I wished upon a star my dreams really could come true. All this genuine happiness comes from a PLACE. Just a place. Just some brightly colored paint, some singing puppets, and crazy costumes…and somehow, it’s magical. But the true magic of Disneyland is it puts you back in touch with the magic in your own heart.

But that’s not the reason you should take your kids to Disneyland. If you’ve ever meet an adult who never went to Disneyland as kid than you know…they are some of the most miserable FUCKS on the planet! They grow up to be the scary old creep who frightens children that come near their house.

“GET OFF MY LAWN YA BRATS!”

“TURN DOWN THAT RACKET!”

“SLOW DOWN ON THAT BICYCLE!”

What were their parents thinking?! Probably took them on vacation to the Grand Canyon or some crap! What the hell does a five year old care about a big gap of dirt?!

“Yeah, ma. That’s a big trench of dirt…I dug a smaller one in the back yard and you gave me a spanking. Can we go to the movies and see Finding Nemo now?” Save these trips for later when their teenagers and they need to appreciate some of this fine country. But while they’re young, take this chance to take them some where designed for the sole purpose of putting a smile on their face and bringing you closer together. Do it! Don’t let the opportunity pass you by…or who knows what they’ll grow up to be. I’m not trying to scare you, but here’s a true fact…Adolph Hitler, Osama Bin Laddin, and Saddam Hussein…all have never been to Disneyland…makes you think doesn’t it? By the way…I’m going in 4 days…HA HA HAHA HAHAH!!!

I’m not sure what I can say to make this sound funnier than just quoting PETA‘s own press release title:

PETA Asks Ben & Jerry’s to Dump Dairy and Go With Human Milk Instead

No offense to vegetarians or vegans (looking at you, mom and Iris), but seriously, how fucked up are these people?  Either they are complete idiots living in a fantasy world or else they are attention-starved media whores looking for some cheap exposure.

Lindsay Lohan “outed” herself at practically the same time as Clay Aiken did. But it seems like most people are only talking about Lindsay.

Poor Clay…he’s doomed to always be in second place.

This episode starts on the wrong foot and stays there. Noah comes up with an innovative idea for the porn industry. The TANboys discuss pets, life, death, poop, aging, more about poop, and poop consequences. They put a leash on “The Force Unleashed,” give no country for Old Men, bemoan the state of the US economy, and prattle on about dumb jokes before giving a looooong goodbye.

On the 11th, Noah and I had the following IM conversation regarding this site:

Noah: TANcast appears to be done
Andy: Done?
Noah: down
Andy: Dude
Andy: That is a big difference

I’m sure you will all agree that “done” sounds pretty damn final.  I thought something had gone horribly wrong with the hosting, or Noah’s wife was going to make him quit, or Tim’s laptop had died, or the government was threatening to shut us down because we talked about Bristol Palin’s boobs, or something equally bad.  Nope.  Noah couldn’t access the site from where he was, but picked the wrong word when telling me.

Once the confusion had passed, I didn’t think anything more of it until we had this conversation today:
