Dragon Page Wingin’ It #52: Blame it on the Rain
What’s on this week: Blame it on the Rain
It rained for the first time in 143 days in the Valley of the Sun, and it rained for a little over a day. There’s still snow on the mountains ringing the east side of the valley.
Michael, Summer and Joe are joined in studio by Rhett (Rhettro). That’s right, there’s no Evo, and no one else. Summer once again shoulders the responsibility of typing the show’s play-by-play live to a Skype audience.

What is Indiana Jim doing? How bout something interesting, and not an audio blog post. Just a thought.

Mike: You missed a fu*k.
on the Jimmy part.

Look, I enjoy K from K as much as anyone but any more content from or about her and youre gonna need yet another podcast just for her. Which might be the smartest thing you could do… Its gold Jerry! Gold!
Also kudos to Jimmy for slipping that F bomb past Mike. Can’t blame Mike tho, it was subtle - subtle like a kick in the balls.
Shine on you crazy diamonds.

What time do you record the show so I know what time to have Skype on?
March 15th, 2006 at 9:49 am
That’s it. I’m coming by to claim TD-0013’s iPod.
March 15th, 2006 at 10:12 am
That cut within Joe’s rant was obvious.
Damn you, you censoring guy, you!
March 15th, 2006 at 11:15 am
K from K needs her own podcast? That woman needs her own network. Mike and Evo audio bumpers anyone? Joe is right-people in Arizona freakout when it rains. They all start breaking a mile away from the light.
March 15th, 2006 at 11:35 am
Did anyone even check out the Grey Kangaroo alcohol filter?? Come on, it’s got its own commercial! And he sounds a bit like Joe…
I’m going to try Coastr again, but it is a shitty site…
March 15th, 2006 at 11:40 am
Damn it I was going to do a Real Men of Genuis…
March 15th, 2006 at 12:15 pm
Most of the traffic that went over to Coastr since you las mentioned it probably came from it being linked to on two popular “tech” sites:
Ajaxian.com: http://ajaxian.com/archives/coastrcom-the-social-guide-to-beer
(via myself)
and the Del.icio.us “Popular” page: http://del.icio.us/popular/
following that…
The site itself isn’t too bad - they’ve been having some issues laterly due to the increased load, but I think Brian is getting a handle on it. He even added a new feature after all the attention - Drinking Buddies.
Oh, and he does make a mention of you guys in this post on the Coastr blog: http://blog.coastr.com/articles/2006/03/03/beer-2-0

Hey Jeremy. Since people freak out so damn much in AZ when it rains, I was curious if people freak out just as much in Seattle when the sun comes out.

New Belgium makes a lot of great beers. If you can find it, try the 1554 Brussels Style Black Ale. Dont let the darkness scare you. Its really good.
March 15th, 2006 at 3:00 pm
Now, was Mennegasia a condition or a place? Good one Karen. Sent that one in after you washed up, huh?
March 15th, 2006 at 3:10 pm
Alvie, I was going to say something to that effect, but no we don’t. But most people here don’t realize the problems when we don’t have the right amount of rain for long periods of time…
March 15th, 2006 at 3:53 pm
So who was that Rhett dude? He sounds pretty cool.
March 15th, 2006 at 5:18 pm
Alright Rhett! Self promotion!!!
Thanx Jeremy. Just curious.
Clearly Mennegasia is a state of mind…
March 15th, 2006 at 5:34 pm
I figured everyone would appreciate that. I just wanted to say that everyone was very nice and Draco Vista Studios truly is the best place to have a beer.
March 15th, 2006 at 7:15 pm
Ok is it just my podcatcher or….
Was there no attached mp3 file in the feed?
March 16th, 2006 at 4:46 am
Ted,
I’m having a similiar problem with the feed in that it’s not downloading the episode. I don’t know if it’s the feed itself, or the podcatcher. I’m using iTunes and will probably have to go in manaually and grab this ep.
March 16th, 2006 at 8:51 am
Oh, sure! I send you guys some chatty e-mail from work on a slow day, and get shit for it. Joe reads the freakin’ Reader’s Digest at work and just gets a conversation starter! Where’s the snakes-on-a-plane justice, here?! More importantly: how do I get a job like that?
March 16th, 2006 at 9:22 am
Paul,
Using iPodderX here (soon to be Transistr, well sometime in the future) and it usually indicates when the file is attached by the little icon of the paperclip.
So no paperclip on this one and will probably do the same, download manually.
Damn will blame it on snakes on a plane!
March 16th, 2006 at 12:26 pm
Yeah, I had to load the show manually. Oh well
Oh! When do y’all start recording Wingin’ it? I want to get in on the Skype chat but I keep missing you guys!
March 16th, 2006 at 2:42 pm
The show usually starts at 2:00 PM, AZ time. But, what with the drinkin’, and the laughter, it’s anyone’s guess when it will start. Great show, guys! My co-workers are making my life hell now. Thanks.
But where is the Storm Trooper from Hell? Ok, first one to put on TD’s gift and model it get’s my goodies for him. (Palpatine and TD must have gone on a Tiajuana bender together….)
March 17th, 2006 at 12:26 pm
Those were some pretty nice gifts Karen, I think TD will be pleased. Now as far as the modeling goes, I think you’re the most qualified person for that.
