Episode 7: The Pitmaster



Our longest episode yet features John Thompson and Brad Gage, along with wonderful anecdotes about Johnny Depp, John Fugelsang, The Happening, The Critic and plenty of other delightful topics. The original title for this episode was "Swit Down", but the last few minutes of the episode (containing that reference) were unfortunately lost. Our movie recommendations were lost as well, but they were:
John- Saddest Music in the World
Brad - Speed Racer
Rick - Super High Me
Drew - 40 Days, 40 Nights/30 Days of Night/Six Days, Seven Nights, any M. Night film

Episode 6: Weekly Press Conferences


Drew Steck and Rick Katschke are spurned at the altar of guestdom for episode 6, leaving the two shattered souls with just each other. As a result, they talk about Coldplay, Drew's Grandpa, upcoming films, $1000 movie tickets, and the final game of the kickball season.

Getting this on iTunes help!

Does anybody know how to deal with FTP? I have no idea what this means. I'm trying to get an RSS Feed set up so we can submit the show to iTunes, but I'm only confusing myself since I don't understand FTP. Any help would be wonderful!

Complications impact episodes 4 and 5

Fans,

Unfortunately, the original episode 5 has been lost to the digital wasteland. It was our first to feature a guest (Carl Habermehl) and it is a tragedy that only the three of us shared the experience. We will regroup tomorrow to record a new show.

Episode 4 should be up either today or tomorrow as archive.org, our awesome source for uploading the show, is running incredibly slow.

Thanks for listening,

Rick
