In the closest thing they’ve had to an interactive episode, the TAN Boys nuke the fridge, mock 2/3 of our listeners, lament the fickle mistress that is Star Trek, suck themselves off a bit, talk smack about Xbox, create the new business casual, spin a yarn about the worst travel agent ever, reveal why they could never be on Jackass, and mock Tim for crying at Wall-E.

This episode was rushed together, so apologies if some of the edits are “sloppy”.
… Meanwhile, at the Hall of Anal Injustice… The TAN Boys return to form in the long overdue 7th episode. They talk about inappropriate superhero behavior, continue our anti-Faux News rants, dazzle you with tales of the homeless, and we call in “fuck you” to work.
The other day I took a shower and got my self all clean and groomed and then I went into the kitchen and washed some dishes from dinner. Know what happened then? My wife got so excited and happy that I was freshly showered and washing dishes that she got up from what she was doing to shower me with hugs and kisses.
Wouldn’t it be nice if the rest of life was that easy.
“Hi boss, I took a shower today and cleaned some glasses in our lunch room. How bout a hand job or a raise, your pick.”
So single fellas go shower and carry around plate and a sponge and the ladies will be on you like Tim on Superman.
So I take the bus to work most of the time. Not so much because I care about being green (although I try to be when I can) but because gas is high and bridge toll is high. So it is much cheaper for me to ride the bus to work. Since I ride the same bus so much, you see the same people over and over and let me tell you about this fat black lady. I have never really liked her, because often after people had lined up for the bus in the order they got to the stop, she would waddle up and cut to the front of the line with some people she knew. Not that is is a huge deal but it seems kind of rude and not very considerate to others.
Well know I have a new reason to dislike her. I like to sit in the back of the bus because on the bus that I ride there is a sit that is over the wheel that has more leg room then the other seats and I don’t feel as cramped in those seats. The fat black lady (or FBL) likes to sit in the row of seats right in front of where I sit. She also likes to sit in the aisle seat and let her fat arm hang into the aisle. Now the bus aisles are not that wide and her arm probably takes up 25-30 percent of the aisle. I should also mention that I get off the bus before her and everyday I have to squeeze past that lump of arm fat.
I could sit in front of her, sure, but I think you should try to keep your body parts and body fat in you little area. I know some people can’t help it but she has both seats to herself, she could scoot over. How would it be if I just hung my balls over the arm rest. No one wants to walk past that. Well elbow skin looks like ball skin, so it is almost the same thing.
P.S.
I also got my something. I will post an entry with pics later.
Just a quick note about the podcast this week. Tim is out with his wife celebrating a year of wedded bliss. I am not sure where Andy is, possibly on his way back home from California. We should be back in full effect next week.
Be strong true believers.

**UPDATE**
Looks like we’re gonna record a new episode Wednesday night so we should have a new episode Thursday or maybe Friday. Sorry for the delay.

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 »
