The Magical Talking Hat

Welcome to our special holiday episode!  We discuss our holiday plans, but still have plenty of time for questions.

Also, a TMTH first!  We have a special guest!  This guest is probably well-known to most of you, and is (I think) the only person who can claim Buffy, Firefly, Doctor Horrible, *and* Castle… on their list of shows they’ve watched with Tony, in the living room of their house.

Happy Holidays, and enjoy!

We’re forty weeks old, people!  Can you believe it?  This week we discuss video games, monetary policy, hating William, politics, and dice.  How’s that for a diverse rundown, eh?

Courtesy of Bloodsparrow, here is more on everyone’s favorite badger.  And here is the *real* difference between Kraft in the US and Kraft in Canada.

And this is an episode of the Nerdist that I recommend, if you like Penn Jillette.

We weren’t really on our game tonight.  Kind of lackluster.  We did invent a fantastic new sitcom idea, prepare for the apocalypse, and narrowly avoid some serious racism (probably).  But, really… nothing much… it was kinda boring.  But you could listen, if you want.

Also, Ink.  The movie is called Ink.  See it.

This is the song I was talking about, and it *is* disturbingly genius.  And catchy.

Yes, it’s our first ever Thanksgiving episode, and we have a lot to be thankful for.  Citizenship, comedy, and something Sir Guido said (I already forget what).  And meat.  Lots of meat.  Also, William talks at length about… something…

I don’t recall any links, but there’s probably some in there.  Somebody tell me what they were, and I’ll post them.  Cuz we’re a family, and family’s help each other out!

This week, we go deep inside local Goth culture for a look at the…. um… stuff, there.  We also rehash a topic from last week.  It’s not our fault!  It’s yours!

We probably also discuss other things, but I don’t want to confuse it with next week’s episode.

Ooh!  But we do have an important announcement, especially for local(ish) listeners!

Can you believe it?!

The shell was awesome to start, and continues to be awesome now.

It’s an odd mix of sedate dead-air and loud angry rants!  What could be better!  We alternate between long, drawn-out sighs and quiet, pensive thinking, with angry, bile-spewing tirades about… well, a variety of things.

Extra bonus features:  Really stupid things to say, and a surprise wedding for Sweeps week!

Yay for Mark for finding this!  Now you can not only listen to the Hat, you can actively persue it!

Fuck you, penguin!

UPDATE : Bloodsparrow found the Lewis Black video clip!  Yay, Bloodsparrow!

It’s a waffle-heavy episode, because that’s what you all have been asking for!  We’ve got some movie reviews, and some recipes, and some serious medical warnings.  But let’s be honest, it’s all about the waffles.  Also, our sound issues persist, but we may be getting closer to a solution…

The Honey Badger doesn’t care.

In fact, you could say he couldn’t care less.

Yes, this is an extremely spooky episode of the Hat!  We discuss the successes and failures of the Disney/Pixar machine, a bit about a satirist that we really don’t know very well, and Tony tells a very, very spooky story, about a movie that hasn’t been seen in decades… but some say on a night, just like this one, it’s ghost will rise again… in a crappy, crappy remake.

Also, a surprise guest!  Sort of…

Still learning how the sound works on the new machine, so please give your feedback on relative voice/music levels.

William mentioned this cool new (to us) web series, with Felicia Day in it!

Also,William never heard of this guy.  Can you believe it?
