CRIKEY! It’s HyperNonsense!
Thanks for the invite Shawno & Jen. It was awesome fun and I hope we can do it again sometime. Pretty chuffed that the 2hr barrier was SMASHED!
Until next time….. Keep squishing ants!
Awesome episode, guys! I’m glad that Orange Tim got on & I know he has been wanting to get on your show for a while. I could only imagine how much fun it was.
Jen, I did get a couple of messages but I think I’ll play them on my next studio episode with Drue. I take it that you have to have Bunny up and running and just can’t play them from the website. Speaking of Bunny, the reason that I nearly sent Timbo deaf was because I had Bunny on channel 3 and had it cranked. I didn’t know how loud she was going to be, especially when we were talking.I might have to have her a bit higher than us but not at Tim Ear Blast level.
I can sympathize with you both about the bus trip from hell. I’m not sure if it was a local company but often here for things like special events or train replacement, they’d often get a company in from the other side of town in. I know in a previous job instead of doing what I was supposed to be doing, I’d be directing the bus driver. Often though it isn’t their fault because they are given a sheet of paper with directions, often without a map. Having said that, I can understand your frustration, though.
I hate to sound cruel but when you were discussing the guy who was in the wheelchair and telling us what he could say and what he couldn’t, I couldn’t help but think of Timmy from South Park. Ttttttttiiiiiiiiimmmmmmmmyyyyyy!
Excellent show! On the band / concert part, dealing with disturbed or alcohol and drug dependent band members is always fun. I got some good stories on that issue. It is good to know about getting into AU. I have had enough of the US. government, Canada is way to cold and England is slowly getting to the point that USA is at. So, lets all go down and F**K up Australia like what we done to USA! Just kidding
The bus company is a local company called Silverado. Overall, I think this instance was not normal for them. It was just a matter of “loss of control.” Most of the passengers were drunk and relatively surly, the bus driver and the bus director had lost control of the situation early on. I can’t hold them responsible for everything. But the bus driver SHOULD NOT have to rely on the passengers for directions, especially when they’re trying to convince him to make illegal turns and skip over stops.
And I’m with you, Richard! Let’s start the great Podcaster Emigration of 2008! Australia, here we come!
If Shawno, Jen and Richard all come down here, Round Tables would be so much easier! Mind you, a little crowded in the EP studios!
I know an excellent migration agent. LMK when y’all plannig to come on down here. :o)
You should all try to get down here for a holiday sometime. Next time I get to the States to see the outlaws, I’ll try and catch up with you all!
Road trip! Road trip! Um… well, maybe plane trip? Let’s just all go to AU together, podcast, drink, and sing karaoke.
Erk, as a fellow South Park fan, I am now laughing at your “Tiiimmmy!” reference.
Orange Tim, it was so very nice to have you on the show! We must do this again sometime. It was a blast!
Oh, and from what I can gather from the locals here who I’ve told the “Drunk bus from hell” story to… it seems that our experience was not at all what usually can be expected with this bus service. Which is the only reason why I haven’t gone to their website, and sent emails that will make their ears bleed, though I am still holding a grudge against them.
Jen, it is probably a good thing that you didn’t think of the Timmy reference on the night - but I sure did when I heard you guys describe it.
Shawno, Jen & Richard - we’ll be more than happy to have you! If you guys do live here, we can put our gear together and have a blast! No more Skype problems on the Round Tables! Skype has been pretty good though, to be fair.
When I was very young I travelled by coach across England, France, Switzerland and Italy to get to a holiday in Venice. It was a journey of thousands of miles and not nearly as stressful as your journey was.
May I suggest an alternative migration? England my be ‘getting to the stage the US is at’ but we’re not there yet and thanks to global warming we’re a lot warmer than we used to be. Come East Young Men (And Women)! The only problem with this is there are a couple of right-wing papers in the UK that absolutely HATE immigrants. They would gladly blame everything bad in Britain on Immigration. However they’re probably talking more about the Poles and Romanians than fine, upstanding English-speaking podcasters. The Polish immigration is so big here that many towns and cities have Polish language papers and in my home town of Bath about 70% of the bus drivers are Polish.
Just typed out a big comment, but the internet ate it.
Hmm.. right wing media blaming the countries woes on Imigration… lots of Polish people… sounds like living in the UK would be similar to living in Chicago! Perhaps moving to the UK is still an option. I’m not sure if we are “fine and upstanding”, but, we assuredly are “English speaking podcasters”.
However, if someday I became a citizen of the UK, pretty sure my Irish Grandmother would be rolling over in her grave about that! Don’t think this would please her.
If all this moving to Australia talk is inspired by Karmabanque you might as well put a gun to your head. Max and Stacy are the Jehova’s witnesses of the internet, expats gulping down cheap French wine making up stories about how bad the economy is and that we’re all screwed if we don’t boycott Coca Cola. They do that in a very cunning way, mixing complicated topics with easy to understand conclusions. Maybe Max Kaiser is related to Joseph Goebbels, or maybe Max Kaiser is German for a very large bratwurst, who knows.
I don’t think it matters where you live, it matters how you live. And as long as you’re not on a Canadian bus sitting next to some lunatic with a hunting knife everything’s gonna be fine.
Canadian bus?
Canadian bus
Once again, Dave comes through as the voice of reason.
And that Canadian bus story has it all: Murder, beheading AND cannibalism. I think we need to hurry up and secure the movie rights.
That’s f*cked up.
The Canadian bus story is a bit short for a movie don’t you think? It would make a great bit on Sesame street though, Elmo getting whacked in Canadia… I’d watch that.
Let’s face it Elmo getting ‘whacked’ anywhere would be worth watching.
Well, there is this.
That’s cool, is that a toy store window? A while back some guys on Dutch TV did a Sesame street parody, Elmo was on crack, broke into a car and shot a cop while he escaped. A lot of parents were offended by that.
Sometimes our radio stations feature someone being “Bad Elmo”.
Two words from the South Park movie come to mind: “Blame Canadia!”
Quote Erk “Speaking of Bunny, the reason that I nearly sent Timbo deaf was because I had Bunny on channel 3 and had it cranked. I didn’t know how loud she was going to be, especially when we were talking.I might have to have her a bit higher than us but not at Tim Ear Blast level.”
And who would’ve thought podcasting could be hazardous to your health. Thankfully the ringing in my ears has now ceased and the bad dreams are slowly fading away….
Shawno, forget the Canadian Bus movie rights, let’s make sure we get a script done for the Great Ant Invasion of San Luis Obispo and picth it to the studios execs! Oh and we’ll book the Governor in for a screen test.
The hard part will be getting the ghost of Steve
“CrocodileAnt Hunter” Irwin into the cast. His appearance in the film is mandatory.That’s easy Shawno. Nothing a little CGI couldn’t fix! :o)
Or there is always some other bloke from Australia…..
Loved the show Guys!!! I was in histerics after hearing the bus trip story and lets just say lucky trains run on tracks!!
Look forward to listening to the next episode which hopefully should be tonight!
Cheers
