Is there such a thing as a chin-proof shelter?

Yeah, I think I may have dated myself with that 1-800-Collect commercial reference. It’s been a while since I actually watched any commercials, but I think he does the same ones here (at least I’ve seen some WoW commercials involving Ozzy Osbourne, so I imagine they’re in the same series).

And you should be afraid of Leno’s chin. It actually gained sentience years ago and had slowly taken over his entire head. It could be coming for you next!

‘I’M DOING A PODCAST’ will live on forever as the funniest moment of the Megaphones Ahoy! And I don’t like Jay Leno. His chin scares me.
You know, and it might just be a British thing, but Mister T does the commercials for WoW over here – apparently he does raids with Ozzy Osbourne or something…

@SN: Since the current going rate for having Leno take over your show is somewhere between $30 and $40 million, I’m sure Lusipurr would jump at the opportunity :D.

- If I had to pick a favourite, it would have to be the episode where NATE LILES described how Edward Cullen gives Bella a vampire C-Section! Though I did appreciate this episode for the novelty value of seeing you cram in an entire episode’s worth of content into the span of fifteen minutes, and finish with time to spare (and the music was a nice touch).

- @Lusi: You’ll have to be eternally vigilant else Leno will steal your show too!

I know it sounds cliche, but I don’t think I really have a “favorite” episode, I like them all. There’s never been one I haven’t genuinely enjoyed. Although the “I’M DOING A PODCAST” line was an instant classic.

Random side note, it looks like at some point (probably when the podcast was delisted/relisted), all the reviews got cleared out of iTunes, so if anybody (like me) put a review up a while ago, they might be able to do so again. Just a friendly reminder :D.

Also, Mister T, shouldn’t you get back to doing collect calling commercials?

@Lusipurr: Episode 41 is my favorite podcast as well. every time I hear Eric scream “I’M DOING A PODCAST!” I always laugh, and that’s just one of the many moments that make me bust out laughing.

@Ken: If I had a favourite podcast, it would be Episode 41: Worst Podcast Ever. I will NEVER stop laughing at that podcast. Never.

@Oyashiro: You’d better do your part and make sure Conan takes us up on our offer. So far, I haven’t heard back!

@Mister T.: Indeed, sir, she dropped me hot.
Peace out to you as well.

… I’m so honoured that Mister T. dropped in to cheer me up!

@Lusi – Throw in a “And fucking.” And that should be a dead on impersonation.

Also if anyone is in a bad move, this should cheer you up.

@ Lusipurr: In all fairness, the Oktobercast is still my reigning favourite podcast – I listened to it throughout my two hour art exam and came out with a tidy A grade, although that may just be my amazing artistic skillz. And also DG: A 15 minute podcast definitely is better than no podcast, because where else would I go for such pedantry, such arrogance, such pomposity, nay, lunacy? This podcast is a necessary part of my week.
And I agree with Ethos – will this post be updated with news on this latest Lusipurrian venture?

@SN: I was recording. Problem was, I was the only one I was recording. And, truth be told, I wasn’t paying much attention to the fact that I wasn’t recording anyone else. I AM MOST IMPORTANT.

@Oyashiro: That’s a passable Nate Liles impression!

Screw going green, Be real Americans! Use more then you need then throw away the rest. I don’t care if people need MBs in Ugandalvill across the pond! If the god of the Internet wanted them to have them they would have been born in AMERICA! FUCK YEAH!!!

@Lusi- Haha you really need to make yourself a checklist before you start the Podcast, #1 is check that it’s still recording!

@Berserk: I agree that, if a week was missed, I’d hardly be grabbing my torch and pitchfork in preparation for an armed mob (I save that behavior for Riddlethos :F), but a short podcast’s better than no podcast, in my opinion :D.

@EvilPaul: I saw you post a question about the tech demo they were referring to on the last podcast thread, I think this was the one: http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3177633. If memory serves, it was from GRIN, of Bionic Commando “fame.” Looked like a standard 3rd-person-actiony-game to me.

RE: Podcast length: In all honesty, I’m not picky about the length of the cast, I’m sitting at my desk at work for 8 hours a day 5 days a week, so I’ve got plenty of time to listen to podcasts if it’s a slow week :D. Like I said above, though, I’ll always take a short podcast over no podcast at all!

Kinda funny that you got through this one so quickly, but with it being so short..was there really much point? I mean, I love the podcast and it might seem a bit dissapointing if you didn’t get one out one week, but with less than 20 minutes, to be honest, it was never going to be as funny or interesting as normal.

As with a few weeks ago when it was just Lusipurr and Ginia, I feel that maybe sometimes you should just leave it for a week perhaps.

The music is a nice touch though!

@Dan: Nate Liles ALMOST took us off the rails at one point, but our inertia kept us on track.

@Lusipurr

No, I was genuinely impressed that you guys held it together through that lightning round of a podcast. I really thought it would get derailed at some point.

@Blitzmage: It’s usually a matter of time constraints + lack of news + lazy lazy laziness.

But seriously, the golden rule is 45m-1h15m, and we’ve been erring nearer the 45m mark in the last few. There are many, many more where we’ve gone over 1h than the few in which we’ve gone under, so I think on balance we’re still okay.

This one, of course, was going to be around the 1H mark when I realised, about 55 minutes in, that I was only recording myself and not Ginia or Nate. So then we had to rush so that Nate could make it to the pub.

@Kenjujuu: We *have* done 2H long podcasts here–but only for the most special of occasions. And I’m glad you liked the music!

@DanChiSao: If you’re being serious, thank you. If you’re not being serious, thank you.

How noble! More websites should follow suit – unlike CatFancy and their 2 hour long podcasts… :P
And the music was a nice touch, Lusipurr.
