In the first official TANGcast, the boys discuss the pros and cons of Beantown, do a little baby talk, share some stories about airports, and reach out to Giada of the Food Network.
All that plus the “great” TV debate, stories of weddings and wedding videos, and great advice for any father-to-be.

A very special episode with a very special guest.
This episode is sponsored by Tim Babb’s appearance at the Hard Rock Cafe in Boston on September 14th at 9pm…part of the Boston International Comedy Festival.

The TANboys (complete with peanut gallery) misguidedly reach out to the gay community, clear up some site link mysteries, hurt Noah’s feelings, discover that moms say the darndest things and discuss TANcast’s first offended listener.
Also in this episode: important earthquake saftey tips, more potty humor (that leads to tales of drunken debauchery), the legend of T-Maintenance, a warning about child birth every woman should hear, and more than you ever wanted to know about the world of music radio.

I am digging Girl Talk. If I had to describe it, I would call it mashups with A.D.D. It seems like it would be a train wreck but I think that songs he uses work very well together.
In the song above I can pick out James Taylor, 50 Cent, Nas, Pixies and Weezer.
Another Girl Talk song for your enjoyment or not depending on your musical tastes.

This episode is in memory of Star Trek: The Experience which closed in Las Vegas as this episode was being edited.
The good news is, for over half the show, the TANboys explore a single theme. The bad news is, that theme is “breasts.” …Breasts in politics, breasts on the Food Network, breast pumps, breast milk, chicken breasts, even man-breasts.
Somewhere in between all the breasts, they reveal the biggest news in the history of TANcast, manage to talk about how to crush your soul watching Animal Planet, insult the entire Hepburn family, figure out which of them is “The Gene Roddenberry of TANcast,” do a terrible job of keeping secrets, diss on the Love Guru and the Mummy 3, explain why Andy is not the man to @#$% with, and then unravel in a potty humor giggle fest.

For our listeners outside the US, Labor Day is a holiday about…um…well as a typical “American Idiot” I’m not really sure.
But it does mean that I will be spending the next 5 hours driving back home to LA before I get a chance to edit the show we recorded yesterday. So It will either be posted late tonight or early tomorrow (depending on your time zone)
Sorry for the delay, but I think you’re in for a treat, this was a pretty fun episode.

This week, the TANboys (minus one) give the people what they want: more TANG, start a new feature called TANlaughs, discus the misadventures at Tim’s wedding, and tell some stories with the moral “Buyer, beware!” (F@#% MERVYNS!) Then we discuss circumcision (What?!). Geoff takes us through some video game news including a controversial salute to Space Invaders. They talk movies including Tropic Thunder, Pineapple Express, and Clone Wars. They tell some tales of dealing with crazy homeless and drunks, movie trailers, and tragic tales of kitty death. Finally they wrap up with the longest goodbye ever.

I dunno what to do with myself!
Earlier this week, I posted a video about the closing of Star Trek: The Experience on YouTube, and my idea to keep it alive:
I’ve actually gotten many positive comments about it! Not just on YouTube…but random other forums are spreading it around.
From a Star Trek Forum:
“I weep from the pure brilliance of it.”
“I thought that video was very well put together. This Tim Babb guy has his act together.”
From a Disneyland Forum:
“The Whoopie Goldberg idea is priceless!!!”
“I love this idea! I think it fits in and would really bring a new fresh face to Tomorrowland. I think you’ve got such a great idea Tim!!”
From another Star Trek Forum:
“Brought a tear to my eye…….then I laughed my ass off at ‘HIIIIIILLLTONN!!!!'”
I guess the internet isn’t just filled with hate after all 🙂
Somewhere in the middle of all that, perhaps around the time that SimEarth and SimLife were out, Young Andy dreamed that some clever soul would take all the “SimSomething” games and make a “SimEverything” game.
It took 16 years or more, but I think Will Wright may have done just that. Now Old Andy is on pins and needles.
I have spent a few hours playing with the Spore Creature Creator and I am, in a word, impressed. No matter how many weird appendages I added or how insanely I proportioned the body, the end results all looked like they belonged in the same universe. The art direction clearly took care to be sure the hands and eyes and miscellaneous widgets were consistent with each other, and the animation and rendering obviously used the same engine, but there is still something impressive about this unified look and feel.
I can hardly wait until I can take my ravening horde out of a real spin around a planet I can terraform from orbit. T minus 17 days, and counting…
Oops… I think I may have just wet myself a little.
Of course, that 16+ years later happens to coincide almost exactly when my first child is due, so I think I’ll probably be playing SimPoopyDiaper for a long time before I get to play any Spore.
