A grand experiment goes horribly wrong as the TAN Boys are reunited all too briefly (from your point of view, at least)
But this episode does feature the premiere of our new, custom-made intro music provided by Rick “DJ Technoid” Reed. (You can visit his website at brainchops.com)

The TAN boys drop some dead weight and boldly go where no TANcast has gone before with special guest: Geoff. They talk a little Trek, debate the “merits” of the Transformer’s movie, cover weddings-bachelor parties-strip clubs, get a special message from Tim’s old boss, and spend most of the episode telling stories of their days in customer service.
Remember, just because they serve you…doesn’t mean they like you.

All of us here at TANcast love to think we’re “pushing the envelope,” with the inappropriate things we say…but few performers pushed the envelope as well or as brilliantly as George Carlin. He will certainly be missed.

I hate being kept waiting at a doctor’s office. First you wait in the waiting room, then they call you back and weight something (perhaps your left ball) and either ask you to wait in a second, hidden waiting room or else direct you to an examination room where you will invariably wait some more.
About a month ago the wife and I walked out on an appointment without having seen the doctor; he was still 2 patients away from seeing us and it was 90 minutes after our scheduled 9:15 am appointment. The office had opened at 8:30 am, and somehow in just 45 minutes they were already running 2 hours late. I’m guessing the doctor actually strolled in around 10:30 am and they just kept all the patients in the dark, expecting us to take it like good little sheep…
Let me be clear on this (especially since Tim and Noah are bound to bust my balls): I am habitually late to almost everything. I procrastinate like no other man. If my superpower was not killing jokes, it would be being late.
I do see a difference, however, between sometimes being tardy and chronically keeping people waiting for hours. If I was like these doctors, I’d expect my friends to just leave without me. Actually, I’d expect them to stop scheduling time with me.
Worse, we pay the doctors for a service and yet somehow our busy schedules are expected to be as flexible as the MD’s whims dictate on any given day. There are typically no weekend or evening appointments offered, so working professionals like us get to take some unknown numbers of hours off in the middle of the day to see a doctor for a grand total of 5 minutes, often less and rarely more. If they are running hours behind, there is no courtesy call or offer to reschedule. They usually don’t even warn you when you walk it. You just get to take it and like it.
But I digress. This isn’t a rant about how unfair life is and how doctors by and large seem to think that their training and degrees grant them utmost entitlement over the lives of others. This is all about me, as befitting my own capacious ego and sense of utmost entitlement. Read the rest of this entry »

This episode features the worst/most tasteless/offensive joke we have ever told (and probably will ever tell) on TANcast. Before that, the TAN guys talk the new Toy Story ride at Disney’s California Adventure, touch on the movie Conan the Destroyer, reminisce about a childhood game gone horribly wrong, laugh at some misbehaving Muppets, and finally TANcast strikes a blow for freedom.
As always TANcast comes to you completely unedited…except for the parts we cut out.
The clip below is why I have a man crash on Brad Pitt. The guy picks such odd roles and he is funny in them.
By the movie above, Burn After Reading, has David Rasche of Sledge Hammer! fame. You know the awesome 80’s show with the police detective that sleeps with his gun on the pillow next to him. Man I love that show.

About 2 weeks ago, Noah asked me about the “Mahna Mahna” song from The Muppet Show, wondering if it was a Muppets original. I told him I had no idea.
Almost exactly thirty seconds later, after swimming through a series of tubes (no, I’m not going to stop making fun of Ted Stevens until that corrupt idiot is expelled, indicted, or dies) I had my answer. Thank you, Intertron! Read the rest of this entry »

The TAN Boys finally get around to discussing politics…but first they have to get through some really bad impressions, puzzle over internet celebrity, compare modern prime time TV to the classic Incredible Hulk series, get a little guest comedy form comedian/writer Orlando Bishop, discuss helmet wearing babies, and visit the internet’s crappiest website. Then, and only then are they prepared to lower the discourse of politics further than Fox News already has.
It is not what you are thinking! I will give you that surprise for the price of a large slurpee and some vicks vapor rub.
What I am talking about is the Something Store. You give them $10 and they give you something. I am ordering my something right now. Tune back in to see what I get.
