Revisiting the Past

Version3 — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 22:59:11 +0000

It’s been a long time since the website was complete, and I’m sure that fact that I’ve decided to print that means that I need to backup everything n-n-n-now. -But it actually looks as though we are approaching complete again: The Switched ON Show Gallery has returned. Beginning with the show artwork of years past, we’ve relaunched the gallery for the sole purpose of trying to create more ways for you to spend entirely too much time on the website.

Now you can look back in time to see just how sexy Rob started out, what stupid art ideas has The Captain running off-mic to make show notes and what Jerry’s random subject matter is represented in full-color glory. I first started creating the artwork at show 101, as a way to fancy the files up and just generally entertain myself. A few of these were actually funny, and I committed to during unique artwork for each and every show, as well as over-committing to traveling back in time to do the first 100. Well listen, I gave it my best shot, but contrary to popular belief, I’m not made of time and success. My sharp wit, chiseled features and substantial presence can’t be brought to bear on the world’s problems without something slipping through the cracks until such a day comes as I am sick of doing the work I’m paid to do, and I actually decide to spend 7 minutes mending the broken and bringing a glimmer of hope to those lives I touch each and every day. In short, don’t expect to much from me, I’ll let you down. But for now, let me distract you from that point by sending you back in time to the sort of half-ass working gallery! Don’t hold your breath for immediate updates, I’m not a fucking miracle worker over here… I’m just one man.

Go to the Gallery n-n-n-now.

The Switched ON Phrase Generator

Version3 — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 18:45:33 +0000

Another of these little project ideas that has come on the show, is now yours to enjoy or confuse others. The Switched ON Show Phrase generator was created to give you something to say in every situation. Just hit generate, and you’ll be able to compare the beauty of a woman in public to something anyone can relate to: “Did you see her? She’s as hot as a gynecologist with down syndrome!” You’ll amaze your friends and they’ll be as envious as a gallon of accountants at a Six Flags theme park or as confused as an army of bionic wookies at an adult film shoot; either way you are likely to be given the key to the city, be the benefactor of a virgin sacrifice, and be elected the king of words.

Premature Movie Endings

Version3 — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 03:43:41 +0000

An idea that’s come up on the show a few times, the Premature Movie Ending is just what it sounds like; we take well-known movies and end the story before it really begins. These have come up in SOS-072, SOS-074 and even later in SOS-094 in the form of short movie trailers, early credit roles and totally anti-climatic endings. So, we’ve done it. Well, a few times anyway.

This summer we edited a few of these to get the ball rolling, and have seen them pulled from YouTube already, with Back to the Future being removed multiple times. So, we’ve moved them here for your enjoyment. We bring you Star Wars, Top Gun and Back to the Future.

The Return of Comedic Chaos and Stuff

Version3 — Fri, 15 May 2009 22:12:55 +0000

In 2007, we announced that show 150 would be the our last show; the end of switched:ON. -A decision that was hard to make, but necessary none-the-less. We always knew when we announced it that we’d want to get together and record something, but what that would be, and how we would relate that to a show that was ‘over’.

Of course we did record, and even when the original show domain was gone, we still put a few odd shows out and released them into the feed. A few core listeners stuck around and heard these, and a few casual people stumbled on then as well. For many, these remain unheard.

Now, we’ve returned. Coming back for a less agressive schedule (one release per month) we are bringing back the same old thing… because it works for us. We’ll hang out, we’ll turn on the mics, we’ll sing some songs or play an odd game when we get bored, and we’ll try to make each other laugh. Will we do this forever? We don’t know. Will there be insane laughter every show? We hope so. Will Rob totally lose it with stupid people? Probably. What we do know, is that we are back, and we will try to have the best time we can… and let you hear it.
