Yay! I liked the longer episode of IJHATT. It was fun times! But it was so long that I had to keep notes of everything I wanted to comment on so HERE GOES.
I would definitely be interested in you guys getting a PO box. And I’d send presents, too! Or just weird shit I find if I want to send it. Nothing bad, I promise. Well, let me clarify. Nothing DANGEROUS. =]
It sucks that y’all (yes I am southern) are sick. I get sick so much and it SUCKS big time. I seem to get ANYthing that goes around at work. My immune system is horrible; it hates me, I swear.
As for the whole “creative promoting” thing, I was looking to do something along the line of something that could be done in photoshop. I have some audio software that I could use to do some audio-related things, but I’ve never really used it much and I’m still messing around with it. But I’m sorta good with photoshop, and have some good ideas.
I freaking LOVE LOST. It’s my favorite show, even though me being stupid means I’m confused half the time. But I watch it with my friend Wesley and we obsess about it. And I have another friend who’s started watching it. Orion, have you seen that new show FlashForward? It reminds me (and a lot of people, apparently) of Lost; it’s going to be a decent replacement once Lost is over.
I’m of the opinion that your video game talk isn’t boring. I love video games, and every so often it’s not bad to hear talk about video games. Maybe if you started like, OBSESSING about it, it’d probably get repetitive, but I don’t see why it’d be so bad if you just discussed it every so often, if you actually had something to say instead of, I dunno, forcing the topic.
Having social anxiety disorder myself, I thought Kyle’s embarrassing moment was pretty bad. But then I heard Orion’s embarrassing moment, and I burst out laughing and I could not even IMAGINE the level of mortification I would have experienced had I been through that myself. Wow, just wow.
As well, random stuff that gave me giggle-fits that I don’t really have much to say to constitute giving them their own “paragraphs”: The “Michael J Fox playing the Wii” comment made me laugh so hard… I hate the accuracy (or lack thereof) of the Wiimote, it frustrated me SO MUCH when I played it; I loved Kyle’s random segue and his voices; while I felt bad that Orion kept coughing, when he had that mini-coughing-fit, I laughed out loud (sorry!); and I’ll be sure to email you guys at your voicemail number.
On a parting note, I’d steal away Kyle, not Orion, but that’s only because he’s so wonderful and we have a secret affair going on.
Anyway, off to go make a wonderful thread about Aldi! =D
You guys are getting closer to that inevitable 24-hour episode.
Do you think Marlykins is going to show up for one of you with a wedding dress, a reverend, and a shotgun? Watch out! Because I have lots of free time, I wanted to answer her questions, as well as put it them to the other ijfans. No one favorite band, but favorite bands include Pavement, The Unicorns (yeah!), Spoon. Single artists would be Elliott Smith (yeah!), St. Vincent, Sufjan Stevens. But I like pop, too, and heavier stuff, and hip hop. Country. Some opera. Thanks to festivals, I’ve been able to see shows by everyone from Public Enemy to Tom Petty.
Maybe I took up too much space. Shows: Mad Men, Dexter (thanks, Kyle, for recommending it), Lost (although not as good as it used to be. I’d agree with Kyle that it seems more magic than science, but it’s seemed like that since season one). For favorite games, I honestly thought you meant board games, which shows you how old I am. I’d say the Super NES Zelda and Super Mario World. I stopped playing games, mostly, after Super NES, although Singstar’s fun. Most embarrassing moment? I got shat on by a cow once, which wouldn’t have been so bad if it wasn’t in middle school.
I’ll tell you what, Orion, I saw Vanilla Sky in the theater and I loved it. I haven’t seen it in a long time, but I remember thinking it was terrific. I’m with Kyle on Cameron Diaz not being a hottie, though. My big crush in high school was Christina Ricci; man!
I love that senior picture portrait story, Kyle; I think a lot of guys probably got burned thanks to romantic comedies, etc. I know I’ve talked with Seth about that sort of thing. “Caring Is Creepy,” right? I know I’ve done similar things, and I still inwardly blush when I remember them.
“Ultimately, I’m, uh, eating her out, right?” Classic. Great story, too. Holy cow. I can’t imagine.
There’s more episode to listen to but Mad Men’s coming on. Meowzin’.

Definitely go for it. I’d love to see what you come up with. Oh, and you don’t necessarily have to use the logo, I just figured I’d make it available in case someone wanted it.

Fun Fact: This is actually only the second-longest episode we’ve done so far.

Good idea. I’d be curious to see what other people are into.

Lost (although not as good as it used to be. I’d agree with Kyle that it seems more magic than science, but it’s seemed like that since season one).
[/quote]
Yeah, I can see that. I just felt at one point that there were enough sciencey elements (lots of old computers, researchers, talk of electromagnetism) that perhaps when it all unfolded it would have actually had a scientific explanation, albeit a bordering-on-fantasy sci-fi one.
[quote]Do you think Marlykins is going to show up for one of you with a wedding dress, a reverend, and a shotgun? Watch out![/quote]
My simple answer? Yes.
My slightly less simple answer? Yes, for Kyle.
Oh Kyle, if I were not in a relationship with an awesome dude whom I love very much, and if I didn’t live in Virginia, and if I could actually drive, and if I had more money… Well, I can’t say exactly what I’d do (it’d ruin the surprise should my circumstances ever change) but! I just have such a huge podcasting crush on you. KYLE KYLE KYLE you’re such a stud!
Favorite band: My all-time favorite band fluxuates, and I tend to have a few favorites at a time. But the one artist I’ve always considered a constant favorite is ZeroStateReflex. Besides ZSR, lately I’ve been listening to a lot of Say Anything, Manchester Orchestra, Deftones, Mindless Self Indulgence, Kings of Leon, and Bell X1.
Favorite show: My all-time faves would be X-Files, Roswell, Lost, and the new show FlashForward seems pretty awesome and if it keeps it up, it’ll probably be one of my favorites.
Favorite movie: My favorite movie *of all time* (and this is one of very few categories that you can ask me what my ultimate favorite is and I can pinpoint my exact answer) would be Stay, with Ryan Gosling, Ewan McGregor and Naomi Watts. I’ve watched that movie so many times, I don’t even know.
Favorite game: I love video and board games, but I don’t really play them THAT often enough to say I have any real favorites. Typically I have my bursts where I’ll play video games for a few weeks, then stop for a while, then play again, etc. Lately I’ve been playing Lara Croft Tomb Raider Legend and Advent Rising. I played Life (the board game) with my family yesterday, for the first time in foreverrrr; that game is more complicated than I remember it being when I was littler. Also fun to play: Jenga, Mad Gab, and Apples to Apples.
Embarrassing moment: I really can’t think of an ultimate embarrassing moment. It’s hard to pinpoint something like that when you have general anxiety and social anxiety, as a LOT of stuff that wouldn’t really bother a “typical” person seems to be the end of the world for someone with an anxiety disorder. I can only really remember one embarrassing moment right now, even though it doesn’t SOUND embarrassing but at the time, it mortified me. I was little, around six or seven, and going to a summer day camp, that you would ride a bus to in the morning and then be taken back home in the late afternoon. Most days I would ride the bus home, but certain days that my mom got out of work earlier, she would pick me up from the “camp center” or whatever. One day, I completely forgot it was a “mom is picking me up” day, so I was riding the bus home. I was sitting near the front of the bus, and the bus driver got this “call” on the walkie-talkie asking if Maria Winger (me) was on the bus. The bus driver was older and hard of hearing, and he couldn’t quite make out the last name, so he kept saying “Who? Maria who? Maria Weiner? Weiner?” and I kept trying to say “Me, it’s me, Maria WINGER”, but the bus driver guy couldn’t understand STILL and he kept asking “Weiner? Weiner?” and there were boys in the seats around me and they started pointing and laughing, going “MARIA WEINER, MARIA WEINER.” God, I thought I was going to DIE at the time. Looking back on it, it sounds stupid, but christ, I was morbidly shy and had anxiety even back then, and that nearly made me cry when it happened.
Marlyweiner–great story. And I understand the podcrush on Kyle; ladies love him. Girls are always telling me how talented and adorable Kyle is. Christ, it’s awful!
Kyle, I’d forgotten this wasn’t the longest one so far. The run time made me a little nervous to start it, but as always, the episode flew by. It’s legitimately impressive that you guys can be entertaining for that long, and that you’re entertaining consistently from week to week.
Yeah, I know what you mean re: Lost. And all that science stuff I loved. There was something so cool to me about the retro, run-down high tech stuff. Those Dharma videos! I still want a Dharma mug. I think the ending of Lost won’t be satisfying, which is troublesome, as so much of the show’s appeal is the mystery. Ah, well. I’ll hang on to the end, regardless.[hr]
Being envious of Kyle reminded me how many times I’ve heard girls say that Orion’s hot! Women swoon over this guy. What a bunch of garbage! I’m done with this damn show.
Oh! Well see, there you go, there’s your redeeming quality that ~the ladies and gals~ will swoon over you to OTHER men about. “That John K,” they’ll say, “he won’t ALWAYS get pissed off over the truth! Aww.”
I had vicodin for a root canal. I decided to take 2 one evening. I got super tired and every time I closed my eyes, I was in an orchestra hall and 50 cent was playing a triangle. Then, I was climbing a long staircase in blackness and when I got to a door at the top, a guy challenged me to a game of freecell. I decided I had better get up and set my alarm in case I pass out for a day and when I stood up, everything became stars. I can’t make this stuff up.
PS- I remember playing Gunsmoke with Kyle. I eventually needed to game genie it up to beat that stupid game.
I also don’t always punch babies. That’s two redeeming qualities! My dance card will never be empty.[hr]
OOP! I just heard “They’re kind of like blacks.” Just laughed out loud. I tip my chapeau to you, Orion. Good show.
The thought of 50 Cent playing a triangle in an orchestra hall made me laugh more than it probably should have. Wow. Thank you, Doov, for making my night that much better with that mental image.
PS: John K, if you’re wanting to score with ~the ladies~, you should say you NEVER punch babies. You know, since women have ovaries and all that and half the time they go coocoo banaynays over babies and would be highly offended at the very THOUGHT of you punching a “small, helpless infant” who is “so cute” and “why would you ever even THINK of inflicting violence upon such a thing” and etcetc.
I was browsing through older journal entries, and I found this one from back in January. Although it wasn’t a “full-blown” embarrassing moment, it sure as hell had lots of potential to get there:
[quote]I had a pseudo-embarrassing moment today. On the ride home, my mom told me to call our apartment and leave a message on the answering machine reminding her to find this nail thing for her old boot-cast-thing from when she hurt her foot a while ago, so she wouldn’t forget when she got home. So I call the apartment, and I leave the following message: “BOOOOOOBS…. BOOOOOBS ARE NIIIIIICE, BOOBS ARE PERKY AND PRETTY, I LOVE BOOOOOOBS!!! Oh yeah, hi, don’t forget to look for that thing for your boot. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOBS!!!” And then she’s like, “Maria, I hope the maintenance people aren’t there right now. If we get home and they are and they heard it, I’m telling them you sang that.” That’s when I remembered that the maintenance people were supposed to be stopping by our apartment sometime during the day, we didn’t know when, doing one of their routine maintenance-check-up-whatever thing. I turned red and was like “Oh lord!” and hung up quickly. I started laughing and saying “Oh god I hope they weren’t there, I hope they weren’t there!” When we got home, nobody was there, but then again, about forty five minutes had passed so even if they were there when I left the message, they would have been long gone by that point. So yeah. I hope they weren’t there.[/quote]
John K: Listen, mister, I can’t very well just sit here and tell you all the secrets to vagina-owning people, now, can I? Some things you must figure out for yourself!
Maria, don’t let John fool you. He’s over 30, but everywhere he goes he’s followed by an entourage of girls in their mid twenties. He’s like the Hugh Hefner of Grand Rapids.
I’m not a redhead, but Vicodin has never done much for me. I could eat like 8 and not skip a beat.
Still got some show to go. I may come back and answer the Marly questions.
good show, guys. you had john and i making with the lulz.
everyone in our house has the plague right now too. it’s been horrible.
i think i’ll answer Marlykins’ questions too. and not just cause john k is my old man and he’s making me…
favorite band: it’s impossible to narrow it down to one. i like Spoon, Wilco, The Velvet Underground, Bonnie “Prince” Billy, The Shins, Elvis Costello, Elliott Smith… i am a total indie fag.
favorite movie: The Royal Tenenbaums. i can’t tell you how many times i’ve watched that damn movie.
favorite show: House, Mad Men, Doctor Who, and i’m sticking with Lost til the bitter end. i also loved Battlestar Galactica when it was on. because i am a giant nerd.
favorite game: i don’t really play video games. except for Guitar Hero and Rockband, so maybe those… BUT! i DID just find my Atari 7800 hidden away in my mom’s basement, complete with Pacman, Pitfall, DigDoug, and Space Invaiders (among many, many others). good times! favorite non-video game? gotta say Phase 10 and Apples to Apples.
embarassing moment? i know i’ve had them, but i honestly can’t think of any. maybe i’ve blocked them all out…
I, a long time ago, decided that life is indeed pretty much over at 30.
Turning 26 this past July felt very chilling. I feel ya there, Kyle.

Yeah, my mom was a sex-ed teacher for 25 years. She started soon after I was born. Retired last year.
Getting a cold from semen seems… unlikely. And as much as I want to call my mom and be like “Hey mom, can you transfer viruses by ejaculating into someone’s mouth?”… I can’t bring myself to do it. So I’ll just go on archived knowledge, but I think most people would say what I’m about to say…
It’s much, much, much more likely that it was from kissing, or you wiped your nose and touched a door knob that she touched later. Heck, it seems a lot more likely that sweat or something that was carrying the virus was resting on the outside skin of your package, and of course, that was in her mouth.
I feel bad for having such an underwhelming response to my first shout-out on the show. :/

I like Guinness, but ONLY during the winter.
It tastes HORRIBLE to me during the summer. My beer tastes change with the seasons. I need “heavier” beers during the winter. I’d still take Sam Adams Winter Ale and some other things before Guinness… but Guinness is on the “rotation”. (if you’ve seen my bottle collection picture on my facebook [mountain life album] you probably understand)
The fight between Bud and Miller is like fighting between goose pee and deer pee. They’re probably different, but they’re both horrible.
In college, when I started to drink (because I was a moral fag in high school) the only beer I had was Miller High Life. I thought ALL beer tasted like that, so I stopped drinking any beer and only did liquor. Once I turned 21, my dad took me out and was like “This is what good beer is like” and I was all “Oh… this is nice.”
In short, my dad made me a beer elitist. But I’m elitist about MANY different beers. I like trying many different brews.

Dave B is awesome. Good choice for help on the promo.
I heard this promo on Orion’s facebook before listening to this episode.
I’d say I’m awesome for recognizing Dave’s voice with no clues… but then again, I did live next door to him from kindergarten through high school.
There’s going to be a New Super Mario Bros game on the Wii. Side-scrolling game and all. But if it’s going to be like the DS version… it’s going to be too easy. At E3, they revealed that it’ll support 4 people playing at once, and acted like it was the biggest deal ever. It seemed silly.
That Wario Land game was indeed, VERY nice looking. You should try “Muramasa: The Demon Blade” on the Wii. Same 2-D side scrolling stylized visuals, with a pretty unique gameplay that DOESN’T (thank goodness) use waggle or motion controls.
—–
I remember Dave showing me almost every ending of Chrono Trigger. That guy mastered EVERY NES and SNES RPG game before he was 14.
—–
Any FPS on consoles is… not good.
But try the Metriod Prime games on Wii. It works really well. Also, it’s Metroid.
—–
It is better to have done something and been embarrassed and humiliated, than to have not done it and wonder what would have happened.
So as funny and stupid as it was, I still think the senior portrait thing is admirable.
But Orion’s story… HAAAAA! I’ve… sorta caught my sister before… when we were younger… yeah, it’s not a thing you bring up.
(PS, if a brother and sister are twins, they CAN’T be identical twins, only fraternal. Identical twins have exactly the same DNA, and therefore must be the same sex.)

I like these forums. Comments about specific episodes don’t get cluttered with other conversations.

Nice episode. But you should try to keep it shorter, or else I write these idiotically long posts. AND NO ONE LIKES READING ALL THIS! Long episodes make my posts unpopular!
hey kyle, here is a link to the psp demo for metal gear solid peace walker.
It’s a demo from the tokyo game show, so its in japanese… but there is a
guide to help you if you get stuck. It really controls much better than their
last psp game. http://psp.ign.com/articles/102/1027904p1.html
i played final fantasy 7 just before 8 came out, having never heard of final
fantasy. i got out of the city and thought the story was over so i quit. i quit
8 when you got to the big parade… i didn’t like reading, so i would skip the
story and not know what i was supposed to do, so i quit that one. FFX was
the first one i beat and loved… because anything important had voice acting
so no need to read, and i only went back to beat it because FFX-2 was about
to come out and i needed to see the ending. I really loved the idea of FFXII’s
story, but that was the part that made me start skipping through the story…
and then i didn’t know what to do so i quit… although 12 was my favorite
final fantasy game to play… the story was such irritating emo whining i
couldn’t give to shits to finish it. but im gonna go get it again so i can play it,
cause i liked that part.
semen can transmit hiv and other stds, so why not the flu…
this might have been something you have gone over before, but Ass, Tits,
Legs, Feet, Face, etc… What is the sexiest part that makes you want to
hump the shit out of someone? and what are the nasty or weird things that
kill the attraction for you?
body parts for me are
1) ass
2) thighs
3) tits
weird turn ons
1) the two dimples just above the ass
2) the short/faint hairs on the back of a tanned body
3) eyes with thick and dark eye liner
and for turn offs its
1) bad hair cut
2) skinny ass toothpick bodies
3) fucked up teeth, not in the “i need braces” way,
but the “i need more meth” way
any girls feel free to modify the question for yourself and answer
Okay, I’ll do a gender-mix of Physical Traits Maria Likes & Doesn’t Like / Care For. Although, some of the turn-on-traits may apply to both genders. Most of the turn-offs apply to both genders, so if you wanna take a stab at guessing the genders, skip the turn-offs.
Uh, +5 Awesome Points for anyone who guesses which gender(s) apply to each turn-on-trait, I guess!
Turn Ons / Things I Like:
1.) Nice smile (I only really care about this for one gender specifically; I could take it or leave it for the other gender)
2.) Long-ish fingers (one gender specifically)
3.) Longer [but not borderline-weird-looking long] neck (one gender specifically)
4.) Longer legs (one gender specifically)
5.) Body piercings (one gender specifically)
6.) Tattoos (one gender specifically)
7.) Brighter-colored eyes for one gender, darker-colored eyes for the other gender
8.) Long-ish eyelashes (freebie: I like this on either gender)
9.) Darker hair colors (freebie: either gender)
10.) A nice handful of ta-tas (GEE I CAN’T IMAGINE WHICH GENDER THIS APPLIES TO!!)
Turn Offs / Things I Don’t Like Or Care For: Too much of a bum; Too skinny; Blonde hair; “Tramp stamps”…. I can’t think of many specific things that I don’t like enough to put them in this list.
1.) Smile – Men
2.) Fingers – Men
3.) Neck – Women
4.) Legs – Women
5.) Piercings – Women
6.) Tattoos – Men
7.) Eyes – Lite – Women, Dark – Men
8.) Eyelashes – Freebie
9.) Hair – Freebie
10.) Tits – Men… i mean woMEN
For 1 through 7 (since 8, 9, and 10 don’t really count) you got 3 right, Austin.
I dunno when I should go ahead and tell which ones are which, so I guess I’ll leave it open ’til guessing ’til someone tells me to go ahead and say what’s what.
I’m actually not going to bother guessing as my hetero-bias seems to be making me want to guess female for all of them. However, I will wager that Austin got the eyes backwards.
1.) Smile – Guys
2.) Fingers – Guys. And no this is NOT sexual even though perverted minds may be inclined to believe so; longer fingers means better hand-holding.
3.) Neck – Guys
4.) Legs – Ladies
5.) Piercings – Guys
6.) Tattoos – Ladies
7.) Eyes – Lighter for guys, darker for ladies

Dear Wifey,
Dont be hatin’ on my accent just ’cause you aint as cool as me!! I’m sorry that you live near the beach and not in farm country with me you penis face. You, cunt licker, are severely deprived of real southern culture which is a damn shame. If you, my small titted friend, did actually live in the south, I would gladly acknowledge your southernness. Until you move here please do not claim my culture as your own you ass hat!! And I can be as mean to you as I want because you divorced me on facebook you fucking bitch!

I respectfully agree! Wifey lets put aside our differences and go listen to Kyle’s Music!!! I think that would be a much better use of our time!
I am kind of surprised that you both like Alkaline Trio. They are my favorite band. My favorite album would have to be From Here To Infirmary. I enjoyed Crimson, but it isn’t my favorite.

Anyway, off to go make a wonderful thread about Aldi! =D
You guys are getting closer to that inevitable 24-hour episode.
Do you think Marlykins is going to show up for one of you with a wedding dress, a reverend, and a shotgun? Watch out! Because I have lots of free time, I wanted to answer her questions, as well as put it them to the other ijfans. No one favorite band, but favorite bands include Pavement, The Unicorns (yeah!), Spoon. Single artists would be Elliott Smith (yeah!), St. Vincent, Sufjan Stevens. But I like pop, too, and heavier stuff, and hip hop. Country. Some opera. Thanks to festivals, I’ve been able to see shows by everyone from Public Enemy to Tom Petty.
Maybe I took up too much space. Shows: Mad Men, Dexter (thanks, Kyle, for recommending it), Lost (although not as good as it used to be. I’d agree with Kyle that it seems more magic than science, but it’s seemed like that since season one). For favorite games, I honestly thought you meant board games, which shows you how old I am. I’d say the Super NES Zelda and Super Mario World. I stopped playing games, mostly, after Super NES, although Singstar’s fun. Most embarrassing moment? I got shat on by a cow once, which wouldn’t have been so bad if it wasn’t in middle school.
I’ll tell you what, Orion, I saw Vanilla Sky in the theater and I loved it. I haven’t seen it in a long time, but I remember thinking it was terrific. I’m with Kyle on Cameron Diaz not being a hottie, though. My big crush in high school was Christina Ricci; man!

I have some audio software that I could use to do some audio-related things, but I’ve never really used it much and I’m still messing around with it. But I’m sorta good with photoshop, and have some good ideas.

Definitely go for it. I’d love to see what you come up with. Oh, and you don’t necessarily have to use the logo, I just figured I’d make it available in case someone wanted it.
[quote='John K' pid='143' dateline='1254707819']
You guys are getting closer to that inevitable 24-hour episode.
[/quote]
Fun Fact: This is actually only the second-longest episode we’ve done so far.
[quote='John K' pid='143' dateline='1254707819']
Because I have lots of free time, I wanted to answer her questions, as well as put it them to the other ijfans. No one favorite band, but favorite bands include Pavement, The Unicorns (yeah!), Spoon…
[/quote]
Good idea. I’d be curious to see what other people are into.
[quote='John K' pid='143' dateline='1254707819']
Lost (although not as good as it used to be. I’d agree with Kyle that it seems more magic than science, but it’s seemed like that since season one).
[/quote]
Yeah, I can see that. I just felt at one point that there were enough sciencey elements (lots of old computers, researchers, talk of electromagnetism) that perhaps when it all unfolded it would have actually had a scientific explanation, albeit a bordering-on-fantasy sci-fi one.
[quote]Do you think Marlykins is going to show up for one of you with a wedding dress, a reverend, and a shotgun? Watch out![/quote]
My simple answer? Yes.
My slightly less simple answer? Yes, for Kyle.
Oh Kyle, if I were not in a relationship with an awesome dude whom I love very much, and if I didn’t live in Virginia, and if I could actually drive, and if I had more money… Well, I can’t say exactly what I’d do (it’d ruin the surprise should my circumstances ever change) but! I just have such a huge podcasting crush on you. KYLE KYLE KYLE you’re such a stud!
Favorite band: My all-time favorite band fluxuates, and I tend to have a few favorites at a time. But the one artist I’ve always considered a constant favorite is ZeroStateReflex. Besides ZSR, lately I’ve been listening to a lot of Say Anything, Manchester Orchestra, Deftones, Mindless Self Indulgence, Kings of Leon, and Bell X1.
Favorite show: My all-time faves would be X-Files, Roswell, Lost, and the new show FlashForward seems pretty awesome and if it keeps it up, it’ll probably be one of my favorites.
Favorite movie: My favorite movie *of all time* (and this is one of very few categories that you can ask me what my ultimate favorite is and I can pinpoint my exact answer) would be Stay, with Ryan Gosling, Ewan McGregor and Naomi Watts. I’ve watched that movie so many times, I don’t even know.
Favorite game: I love video and board games, but I don’t really play them THAT often enough to say I have any real favorites. Typically I have my bursts where I’ll play video games for a few weeks, then stop for a while, then play again, etc. Lately I’ve been playing Lara Croft Tomb Raider Legend and Advent Rising. I played Life (the board game) with my family yesterday, for the first time in foreverrrr; that game is more complicated than I remember it being when I was littler. Also fun to play: Jenga, Mad Gab, and Apples to Apples.
Embarrassing moment: I really can’t think of an ultimate embarrassing moment. It’s hard to pinpoint something like that when you have general anxiety and social anxiety, as a LOT of stuff that wouldn’t really bother a “typical” person seems to be the end of the world for someone with an anxiety disorder. I can only really remember one embarrassing moment right now, even though it doesn’t SOUND embarrassing but at the time, it mortified me. I was little, around six or seven, and going to a summer day camp, that you would ride a bus to in the morning and then be taken back home in the late afternoon. Most days I would ride the bus home, but certain days that my mom got out of work earlier, she would pick me up from the “camp center” or whatever. One day, I completely forgot it was a “mom is picking me up” day, so I was riding the bus home. I was sitting near the front of the bus, and the bus driver got this “call” on the walkie-talkie asking if Maria Winger (me) was on the bus. The bus driver was older and hard of hearing, and he couldn’t quite make out the last name, so he kept saying “Who? Maria who? Maria Weiner? Weiner?” and I kept trying to say “Me, it’s me, Maria WINGER”, but the bus driver guy couldn’t understand STILL and he kept asking “Weiner? Weiner?” and there were boys in the seats around me and they started pointing and laughing, going “MARIA WEINER, MARIA WEINER.” God, I thought I was going to DIE at the time. Looking back on it, it sounds stupid, but christ, I was morbidly shy and had anxiety even back then, and that nearly made me cry when it happened.
Marlyweiner–great story. And I understand the podcrush on Kyle; ladies love him. Girls are always telling me how talented and adorable Kyle is. Christ, it’s awful!
Kyle, I’d forgotten this wasn’t the longest one so far. The run time made me a little nervous to start it, but as always, the episode flew by. It’s legitimately impressive that you guys can be entertaining for that long, and that you’re entertaining consistently from week to week.
Yeah, I know what you mean re: Lost. And all that science stuff I loved. There was something so cool to me about the retro, run-down high tech stuff. Those Dharma videos! I still want a Dharma mug. I think the ending of Lost won’t be satisfying, which is troublesome, as so much of the show’s appeal is the mystery. Ah, well. I’ll hang on to the end, regardless.[hr]
Being envious of Kyle reminded me how many times I’ve heard girls say that Orion’s hot! Women swoon over this guy. What a bunch of garbage! I’m done with this damn show.
…But Orion IS hot. And Kyle IS talented and adorable. JESUS, are you ALWAYS going to get pissed off over the truth, John K?
Not ALways!
Oh! Well see, there you go, there’s your redeeming quality that ~the ladies and gals~ will swoon over you to OTHER men about. “That John K,” they’ll say, “he won’t ALWAYS get pissed off over the truth! Aww.”
I had vicodin for a root canal. I decided to take 2 one evening. I got super tired and every time I closed my eyes, I was in an orchestra hall and 50 cent was playing a triangle. Then, I was climbing a long staircase in blackness and when I got to a door at the top, a guy challenged me to a game of freecell. I decided I had better get up and set my alarm in case I pass out for a day and when I stood up, everything became stars. I can’t make this stuff up.
PS- I remember playing Gunsmoke with Kyle. I eventually needed to game genie it up to beat that stupid game.
I also don’t always punch babies. That’s two redeeming qualities! My dance card will never be empty.[hr]
OOP! I just heard “They’re kind of like blacks.” Just laughed out loud. I tip my chapeau to you, Orion. Good show.
The thought of 50 Cent playing a triangle in an orchestra hall made me laugh more than it probably should have. Wow. Thank you, Doov, for making my night that much better with that mental image.
PS: John K, if you’re wanting to score with ~the ladies~, you should say you NEVER punch babies. You know, since women have ovaries and all that and half the time they go coocoo banaynays over babies and would be highly offended at the very THOUGHT of you punching a “small, helpless infant” who is “so cute” and “why would you ever even THINK of inflicting violence upon such a thing” and etcetc.
Well, NOW you tell me.
But, anyway, won’t the ladies be like, “He NEVER punches babies? This sounds a little too good to be true…”
I was browsing through older journal entries, and I found this one from back in January. Although it wasn’t a “full-blown” embarrassing moment, it sure as hell had lots of potential to get there:
[quote]I had a pseudo-embarrassing moment today. On the ride home, my mom told me to call our apartment and leave a message on the answering machine reminding her to find this nail thing for her old boot-cast-thing from when she hurt her foot a while ago, so she wouldn’t forget when she got home. So I call the apartment, and I leave the following message: “BOOOOOOBS…. BOOOOOBS ARE NIIIIIICE, BOOBS ARE PERKY AND PRETTY, I LOVE BOOOOOOBS!!! Oh yeah, hi, don’t forget to look for that thing for your boot. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOBS!!!” And then she’s like, “Maria, I hope the maintenance people aren’t there right now. If we get home and they are and they heard it, I’m telling them you sang that.” That’s when I remembered that the maintenance people were supposed to be stopping by our apartment sometime during the day, we didn’t know when, doing one of their routine maintenance-check-up-whatever thing. I turned red and was like “Oh lord!” and hung up quickly. I started laughing and saying “Oh god I hope they weren’t there, I hope they weren’t there!” When we got home, nobody was there, but then again, about forty five minutes had passed so even if they were there when I left the message, they would have been long gone by that point. So yeah. I hope they weren’t there.[/quote]
John K: Listen, mister, I can’t very well just sit here and tell you all the secrets to vagina-owning people, now, can I? Some things you must figure out for yourself!
Vanilla Sky is great.
Maria, don’t let John fool you. He’s over 30, but everywhere he goes he’s followed by an entourage of girls in their mid twenties. He’s like the Hugh Hefner of Grand Rapids.
I’m not a redhead, but Vicodin has never done much for me. I could eat like 8 and not skip a beat.
Still got some show to go. I may come back and answer the Marly questions.
good show, guys. you had john and i making with the lulz.
everyone in our house has the plague right now too. it’s been horrible.
i think i’ll answer Marlykins’ questions too. and not just cause john k is my old man and he’s making me…
favorite band: it’s impossible to narrow it down to one. i like Spoon, Wilco, The Velvet Underground, Bonnie “Prince” Billy, The Shins, Elvis Costello, Elliott Smith… i am a total indie fag.
favorite movie: The Royal Tenenbaums. i can’t tell you how many times i’ve watched that damn movie.
favorite show: House, Mad Men, Doctor Who, and i’m sticking with Lost til the bitter end. i also loved Battlestar Galactica when it was on. because i am a giant nerd.
favorite game: i don’t really play video games. except for Guitar Hero and Rockband, so maybe those… BUT! i DID just find my Atari 7800 hidden away in my mom’s basement, complete with Pacman, Pitfall, DigDoug, and Space Invaiders (among many, many others). good times! favorite non-video game? gotta say Phase 10 and Apples to Apples.
embarassing moment? i know i’ve had them, but i honestly can’t think of any. maybe i’ve blocked them all out…
I, a long time ago, decided that life is indeed pretty much over at 30.
Turning 26 this past July felt very chilling. I feel ya there, Kyle.

Yeah, my mom was a sex-ed teacher for 25 years. She started soon after I was born. Retired last year.
Getting a cold from semen seems… unlikely. And as much as I want to call my mom and be like “Hey mom, can you transfer viruses by ejaculating into someone’s mouth?”… I can’t bring myself to do it. So I’ll just go on archived knowledge, but I think most people would say what I’m about to say…
It’s much, much, much more likely that it was from kissing, or you wiped your nose and touched a door knob that she touched later. Heck, it seems a lot more likely that sweat or something that was carrying the virus was resting on the outside skin of your package, and of course, that was in her mouth.
I feel bad for having such an underwhelming response to my first shout-out on the show. :/

I like Guinness, but ONLY during the winter.
It tastes HORRIBLE to me during the summer. My beer tastes change with the seasons. I need “heavier” beers during the winter. I’d still take Sam Adams Winter Ale and some other things before Guinness… but Guinness is on the “rotation”. (if you’ve seen my bottle collection picture on my facebook [mountain life album] you probably understand)
The fight between Bud and Miller is like fighting between goose pee and deer pee. They’re probably different, but they’re both horrible.
In college, when I started to drink (because I was a moral fag in high school) the only beer I had was Miller High Life. I thought ALL beer tasted like that, so I stopped drinking any beer and only did liquor. Once I turned 21, my dad took me out and was like “This is what good beer is like” and I was all “Oh… this is nice.”
In short, my dad made me a beer elitist. But I’m elitist about MANY different beers. I like trying many different brews.

Dave B is awesome. Good choice for help on the promo.
I heard this promo on Orion’s facebook before listening to this episode.
I’d say I’m awesome for recognizing Dave’s voice with no clues… but then again, I did live next door to him from kindergarten through high school.

Every episode of House in a nutshell:
Person: “Something’s wrong with me!”
Other doctors: “Let’s do this!”
Person: “OH NO! Now it’s worse!”
House: “Blah blah blah, I’m smart, you’re dumb, let’s do this.”
Person: “Yay! I’m better!”

There’s going to be a New Super Mario Bros game on the Wii. Side-scrolling game and all. But if it’s going to be like the DS version… it’s going to be too easy. At E3, they revealed that it’ll support 4 people playing at once, and acted like it was the biggest deal ever. It seemed silly.
That Wario Land game was indeed, VERY nice looking. You should try “Muramasa: The Demon Blade” on the Wii. Same 2-D side scrolling stylized visuals, with a pretty unique gameplay that DOESN’T (thank goodness) use waggle or motion controls.
—–
I remember Dave showing me almost every ending of Chrono Trigger. That guy mastered EVERY NES and SNES RPG game before he was 14.

Any FPS on consoles is… not good.
But try the Metriod Prime games on Wii. It works really well. Also, it’s Metroid.

It is better to have done something and been embarrassed and humiliated, than to have not done it and wonder what would have happened.
So as funny and stupid as it was, I still think the senior portrait thing is admirable.
But Orion’s story… HAAAAA! I’ve… sorta caught my sister before… when we were younger… yeah, it’s not a thing you bring up.
(PS, if a brother and sister are twins, they CAN’T be identical twins, only fraternal. Identical twins have exactly the same DNA, and therefore must be the same sex.)

I like these forums. Comments about specific episodes don’t get cluttered with other conversations.

Nice episode. But you should try to keep it shorter, or else I write these idiotically long posts. AND NO ONE LIKES READING ALL THIS! Long episodes make my posts unpopular!
hey kyle, here is a link to the psp demo for metal gear solid peace walker.
It’s a demo from the tokyo game show, so its in japanese… but there is a
guide to help you if you get stuck. It really controls much better than their
last psp game. http://psp.ign.com/articles/102/1027904p1.html
i played final fantasy 7 just before 8 came out, having never heard of final
fantasy. i got out of the city and thought the story was over so i quit. i quit
8 when you got to the big parade… i didn’t like reading, so i would skip the
story and not know what i was supposed to do, so i quit that one. FFX was
the first one i beat and loved… because anything important had voice acting
so no need to read, and i only went back to beat it because FFX-2 was about
to come out and i needed to see the ending. I really loved the idea of FFXII’s
story, but that was the part that made me start skipping through the story…
and then i didn’t know what to do so i quit… although 12 was my favorite
final fantasy game to play… the story was such irritating emo whining i
couldn’t give to shits to finish it. but im gonna go get it again so i can play it,
cause i liked that part.
semen can transmit hiv and other stds, so why not the flu…
this might have been something you have gone over before, but Ass, Tits,
Legs, Feet, Face, etc… What is the sexiest part that makes you want to
hump the shit out of someone? and what are the nasty or weird things that
kill the attraction for you?
body parts for me are
1) ass
2) thighs
3) tits
weird turn ons
1) the two dimples just above the ass
2) the short/faint hairs on the back of a tanned body
3) eyes with thick and dark eye liner
and for turn offs its
1) bad hair cut
2) skinny ass toothpick bodies
3) fucked up teeth, not in the “i need braces” way,
but the “i need more meth” way
any girls feel free to modify the question for yourself and answer
Austin: If I’m attracted to both dudes AND chicks, which gender’s qualities should I give?? Both? One or the other?
I say do both, then let us guess which qualities go with which gender.
Okay, I’ll do a gender-mix of Physical Traits Maria Likes & Doesn’t Like / Care For. Although, some of the turn-on-traits may apply to both genders. Most of the turn-offs apply to both genders, so if you wanna take a stab at guessing the genders, skip the turn-offs.
Uh, +5 Awesome Points for anyone who guesses which gender(s) apply to each turn-on-trait, I guess!
Turn Ons / Things I Like:
1.) Nice smile (I only really care about this for one gender specifically; I could take it or leave it for the other gender)
2.) Long-ish fingers (one gender specifically)
3.) Longer [but not borderline-weird-looking long] neck (one gender specifically)
4.) Longer legs (one gender specifically)
5.) Body piercings (one gender specifically)
6.) Tattoos (one gender specifically)
7.) Brighter-colored eyes for one gender, darker-colored eyes for the other gender
8.) Long-ish eyelashes (freebie: I like this on either gender)
9.) Darker hair colors (freebie: either gender)
10.) A nice handful of ta-tas (GEE I CAN’T IMAGINE WHICH GENDER THIS APPLIES TO!!)
Turn Offs / Things I Don’t Like Or Care For: Too much of a bum; Too skinny; Blonde hair; “Tramp stamps”…. I can’t think of many specific things that I don’t like enough to put them in this list.
1.) Smile – Men
2.) Fingers – Men
3.) Neck – Women
4.) Legs – Women
5.) Piercings – Women
6.) Tattoos – Men
7.) Eyes – Lite – Women, Dark – Men
8.) Eyelashes – Freebie
9.) Hair – Freebie
10.) Tits – Men… i mean woMEN
For 1 through 7 (since 8, 9, and 10 don’t really count) you got 3 right, Austin.
I dunno when I should go ahead and tell which ones are which, so I guess I’ll leave it open ’til guessing ’til someone tells me to go ahead and say what’s what.
I’m actually not going to bother guessing as my hetero-bias seems to be making me want to guess female for all of them. However, I will wager that Austin got the eyes backwards.
For those who care, here’s the right answers:
1.) Smile – Guys
2.) Fingers – Guys. And no this is NOT sexual even though perverted minds may be inclined to believe so; longer fingers means better hand-holding.
3.) Neck – Guys
4.) Legs – Ladies
5.) Piercings – Guys
6.) Tattoos – Ladies
7.) Eyes – Lighter for guys, darker for ladies
I knew it!

Dear Wifey,
Dont be hatin’ on my accent just ’cause you aint as cool as me!! I’m sorry that you live near the beach and not in farm country with me you penis face. You, cunt licker, are severely deprived of real southern culture which is a damn shame. If you, my small titted friend, did actually live in the south, I would gladly acknowledge your southernness. Until you move here please do not claim my culture as your own you ass hat!! And I can be as mean to you as I want because you divorced me on facebook you fucking bitch!

I’m a potango, cover me with cheese, cause i go good with whine and homeless man crackers.
I am kind of surprised that you both like Alkaline Trio. They are my favorite band. My favorite album would have to be From Here To Infirmary. I enjoyed Crimson, but it isn’t my favorite.
