Tony says some really awful things tonight. So be prepared for that. But he’s also hilarious (I might be biased). And we have a very involved conversation about Game Master food. Enjoy!

I was just doing some work on a friend’s lawn and noticed she was using mulch which advertised the benefits of 60% MORE COLORANT! I think this is the answer to William’s bleach problem. It’s in convenient chip-size and comes in gigantic family-paks for extra value!
Reasons for suing over labelling:
1. You’re not the boss of me!
2. We’ll lose money.
3. What we are doing is beneficial and we have to fight the nay-sayers.
I think all 3 are probably in play.
I just don’t know how they could even convince themselves of #2. There’s no reason to expect it’s true, and they don’t need to think it’s true in order to fight the labeling laws. I think #1 is #1, and to sleep at night they have to convince themselves of #3.
Well… maybe if we tweak #2 to read “Losing this kind of fight might make our stock drop,” or something like that… losing money not because of losing actual market share, but losing money because investors fear they’ll lose maret share, or investors simply lose confidence in the company because it failed to win a high-profile court fight. Those things make sense to me.
But what do I know?
Wow! William did a “The only podcast that…”
There is something of a culture of blaming the victim. (Re: Blaming the person who got conned rather then the con-men/women.)
Driving home while eyes are dialated…
Just because you CAN, just because other people are fine with it, doesn’t mean it’s a good idea.
Don’t talk to me about hipsters. I live in Austin, it’s like a god-damn old timey steamboat captain convention down here every day.
Firstly. We can hear the Producer.
Secondly. Yoga mats are awesome!
Thirdly. Yesterday was MY birthday!
Happy belated birthday!!!
“That’s not even funny.”
Made me laugh so hard.
The current fro yo trend is a) Greek Yoghurt and b) they tend to be a “self serve” and “make your own” kinda thing. There’s despencers with different flavors on the wall, then you add your own toppings. Then they weigh what you put together and figure out how much you pay that way.
Yoghurtland does a thing where you try to guess how much your yoghurt comes to and if you’re within five cents you get a discount, and if you’re spot on it’s free!
These places were ALL OVER So Cal. I don’t see as many here in Austin, but there here.
I thought “GM” ment “Game Master” food.
And I’m all for that. Because one of the rules is to always make sure the GM is fed.
Wow… I can’t get over how annoyed I sound at the end of this episode.
And I was annoyed. With myself.
It sounds like I’m annoyed with Tony, though… which would be funnier, if true…
But I guess some days I can’t even be accidentally funny! *sigh*
Yes, I do still want to get married. We’ll all just have to practice to be better cooks. That’s what bachelor/bachlorette-hood is for. Think of how much more accomplished chefs we are today because most of us have lived on our own before getting married, rather than moving right from our parent’s house to our married house.
Tony – Iowa City has a bunch of frozen yogurt shops too. We have at least 3 in downtown alone (Orange Leaf? Aspen Leaf? Yo-topia?). You just don’t pay enough attention Tony.
Nah, we just avoid downtown like the plague. We used to go in the summer while the kids are gone but I think last year we basically forgot until like October when it was too late. We generally make it for arts fest or jazz fest but then just eat street food. We’re like tourists in our own town sometimes.
My August looks quite full, especially the weekend of August 15-19. However, I am flexible, just ask William.
My favorite GM food used to be Mt Dew and Taco Bell. These days its water or iced tea with some fruit.
Selena Gomez: I was happier not knowing who this person is. So thhhhbbbbppppt!
William: Don’t you mean the only podcast the government wasn’t listening to? Now that you’ve called attention to yourselves in such a fashion, you’re bound to be put on the list for additional security screenings next time you fly.
Blaming the victim is a bad thing. Shooting Tony in the knee with arrows, less so. :p Also, Tony would never lie on the podcast. It just couldn’t happen.
Most people have different masks that they use for different occassions. So they show a different face at work, to family/friends and to strangers.
Dilation: I remember one time (years ago) when I got my eyes checked out & dilated when I was at the Old Capital Mall. I’d driven myself; it was the middle of summer and a bright sunny afternoon. *YARRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH* I wore their cheap plastic wrap-around sunglasses under my actual sunglasses and still was nearly blinded by the light on the drive home. I’ve always made sure to have somebody else drive me if I’m getting dilated after that. Though these days I specifically go to eye doctors that use the laser scanner on my eyes. Sure it’s bright and hurts, but that goes away in minutes vs. hours for getting dilated.
Hipsters: Meh, I’d rather see the kids of today turn into hipsters than attempt to be gangstas. Also, Urban Dictionary has a lengthy definition of hipster.
We could totally hear the Producer.
Producer: Congrats on having a great birthday and getting a yoga mat.
Tony: Damn son, you should never be saying that to yourself.
Super Sekret Project!
Briar Rose Project: Looking forward to the meetup/read-thru!
Arrested Development: *shrug* I’ve seen some of this show, but it just doesn’t appeal all that much.
PT: Congrats on completing this!
I’m sure I’m not favorite anymore given how far behind on listening that I’ve gotten.
So I’m sitting here listening to the podcast, trying to get caught up on it and browsing some of my RSS feeds while do I so. That’s when I run across this video. Words fail me.
White Collar Prison: Meh. William’s Yes-Anding you was much more entertaining than this joke.
FroYo Trend: There’s multiple Orange Leaf’s in Cedar Rapids…. Just sayin’
That’s right; one should never try to trim the claws of the free-range Kiya.
GM food: Genetically Modified food I think could be a bad idea; we just don’t know for sure at this point and I’d rather not risk it until it’s proved further. Unfortunately I also think we’re exposed to it much more than we realize; especially here in the US. Is soylent green GM food? Also speaking of gummy foods, BoingBoing has brought us photos of… GUMMY SAUSAGE!
