My essence still senses Bucho's women.
– Anytime job interviews come up (almost always from Jerry) I almost punch the air in triumph because I know it’s going to be a joyous next few minutes. I think it’s even my favourite SOS thing, above weird food combos, the song game, pawpaw, etc. And there I am, just started the 5 hour plus show and only four minutes in Jerry says, “I’d like to be a full time job interviewer.” I knew I was in for a treat.
Rob’s thing about lighting a firecracker under the desk while the guy is telling you about himself destroyed me. Bryan’s thing about pulling a live bird out of a drawer and throwing it at the interviewee made me laugh so much I had to launch pipe bombs into my neighbour’s yard to destroy his kids’ trampoline.
Rob: “You just have a drawer full of doves.”
– Loved Jerry’s Vietnam stories too. He asked if other countries have fucked up, crazy, chaotic, congestive, free-for-all traffic like he described. Yeah dude, the way you described it sounds exactly like Brazil. Even the buses are driven with only the barest notice taken to road rules and the laws of physics. My very first night there, on my way from the airport, I took a taxi that ran 12 red lights. The major difference is probably that in Brazil I don’t remember anyone using a toddler for a shield.
– Yeah, Rob you should definitely have a crack at acting. Have you thought of taking some improv classes or something? You’re a natural comedic performer, great with voices (a major part of all acting) and you can think on your feet. If you don’t take a swing at it do you see yourself being an old man and wishing you could go back in time to now to do it?
– I’m about 2 hours 45 in and about 2 hours and 42 minutes of that was Bryan talking about health stuff. Ok, maybe that’s an exaggeration, it was probably more like 2 hours 37. Anyway, it was all fascinating stuff. It always is. I still remember where I was and what job I was doing all that time ago listening to the show on Sleep Apnea. I was riveted then and I was riveted again this time.
We’ve talked about stuff like this before and I’ve said how I relate to the procrastination thing a lot, having multiple unfinished projects on the go at once, finding distractions to avoid constructive work and all that, and I relate to it affecting work too. I might be even worse than you Bryan, because at least you get to-do lists made up. I’ve been meaning to make a list for months and I still haven’t. It’s a miracle I even got that thing recorded for Bing. Actually, the one thing I tend not to procrastinate on is going through the Switched On edits to build these short shows. On the other hand I understand why it’s taken so long to get the bits and pieces sorted to get that puppy launched on your end.
I’m just thankful that even though I get worn out I don’t have the drowsy driving problem as often as you seem to, although I do get it sometimes. I’ve been lucky that lately my jobs have been cross town from my place so I haven’t been using the motorways (freeways). Having to constantly react to traffic, signals and turns keeps me awake enough that it hasn’t been an issue for a while. The only thing I have to make sure of is that I don’t nod off at the lights.

The really nice part is, all of the mysteries seem to be uncovered, and I can stop talking forever about this stuff. I actually hate that I go on so long when I do it, but on that night, if I recall correctly, you are also hearing my medications basically peaking together; the side-effect of which appears to be rambling. -Ask the people I work with.
Don’t be so nice, it isn’t that interesting to listen to, but at least it is real.
– C’mon. What do I have to gain from being nice? You’ll triple my pay for editing the short shows? You’ll cut the price you charge me for tech/web advice? If it was boring I either wouldn’t mention it or I’d send a PM or email saying, “Yeah, you’re killing the show with that Captain. Keep it to 10 minutes and then bring back the funny.” No way. It’s fascinating.
That stuff is riveting because a) as a champion procrastinator myself I relate to a good 80-90% of it, and b) you’re a natural storyteller. You might not even know you’re doing it, but you set it up with a protagonist (you) who has a goal (to be more productive) and a problem (lack of productivity) which the protagonist must find a way or ways to overcome and in doing so improve himself. It’s classic type of story structure and the way it unfolds naturally sets up the listener to be wondering what’s going to happen next.
To make it even more gripping it actually has real-world stakes for your listeners because if you can win the fight to get back on top of your health it can only be good for your productivity in show-related areas as well as decreasing the chances you’ll kill yourself falling asleep at the wheel. Cause I don’t know if you know this, but that would be a fucking huge bummer for us.
– I remember listening to those field recordings I made and thinking they might not be any good for the show, so then I recorded those preambles and tacked them on the front, thinking Bryan would listen to them and decide if they should be on the show or not. I should have known better.
I can’t blame you guys for not understanding me in the first one. The fridges in that shop are real noisy and I was on a lunch break and in a hurry so even though I spent time conversing with the shopkeeper I ended up talking faster than normal, which combined with my meathead accent and the background noise to make it very dense aurally.
I should have made it more clear in my email that it would probably be no good for the show, but just for the novelty value of crowbarring the Captain’s phrases into the conversation I figured I’d send it anyway.

I really want to put that game back into play too. After we recorded that show, I found myself wanting to put phrases like that into conversations it doesn’t belong it. I used “how the cow eats the cabbage” one day out of nowhere, and you could see this real confused “huh?” look creep over the clerk’s face. It was la good.
Hey! I’ll totally play that game if it’s put back into play.
Also, not only did you recieve those madlibs style things I recorded that Bryan and Lark completed, you totally played them on SOS-167. I actually prefer them with the silly music of my Casiotone MT-52 (the Captain is 100% correct that it’s the one which features in the Titties Bounce video), just because it helps to enhance the silliness.
Also, Digitaltopia’s retard voice never fails to crack me the fuck up.
I’m up to about 4:12, with the Garageband Game in full swing.

I think these queers have lost their touch with their high estrogen levels and little gay dogs. I was going to listen to the rest of the show but Its time for me to go take off my moisturizing face mask and apply the sealant.
I hope by the time I get done with my nails these guys testicles drop.
BTW low testosterone only means you suck at having back hair and going bald. I should know, I actually have too much testosterone. You’d think that would give me muscles like Bucho or brains like Lark….but nay I say NAY!!!!
‘course my johnson drags the ground and I can’t wear shorts but whatagonnado?
So, apparently it’s been almost 3 years since I’ve logged on here. Talk about procrastination!
I just had to pop back in to say that this is exactly the type of show that I love. You guys just sitting around talking. The fun just seems to happen when you guys just sit around talking. There have been some shows in the past where it just seemed like you were trying to hard, but this one was fun.
Brian, I enjoy listening to your stories about what’s going on in your life. It makes me feel like part of the crew to get to hear that stuff. Plus, it’s interesting as hell.
Anyway. Keep up the good work guys. I’m going to try to work the forum here back into my daily life. I had forgotten how much fun it is here!

Fuck yeah brother, we missed you. There’s almost too much fun around here for me to handle so I’m glad you’re back to share the load.
Heh. I said load.
