Wingin’ It #69: The Eternal Fan Show
This week on Michael and Evo’s Wingin’ It, the fans have taken over the asylum, as The Ranting Scotsman, Ian, heads up a crazy crew along with Karen from Kalifornia, Brad from Podculture, and Chris from Two Girls and a Podcast.
The slightly silent studio audience is Christina from Podculture.
First Drink of the Day: Everyone is drinking differently so god knows.
- The group talk about their podcasts and segments which they are known for in the Wingin’ It World.
- Doodle of the Fates: Alvie vs. Evo in a parody of Jack Mangan’s well known segments.
- Doodle Reaction: The guys talk about possibly one of the funniest segments in Wingin’ It history. Jack is going to be so pissed.
- Ian brags on about the Stargate Atlantis Season 3 Premiere whilst Karen and Chris talk about Kyle XY.
- Drink Mixology: With Andrew from R&D still missing in his cave, Chris and Eliz from Two Girls and a Podcast take over and invent some new drink.
- Rebeer: This week comes from Karen and god knows we still don’t know what each other is drinking, listen carefully and you might be able to tell through all the rambling.
- The gang talk about Dragon*Con and Comic-Con. A clash between Wingin’ It, Podculture, and The Ranting Scotsman is expected sometime during Dragon*Con. Whilst Karen will need to try and subdue Mike at Comic-Con, god help both of them.
- Sci-Fi Poetry Slam: Isabella.
- Dumb-Ass-News: The gang prove that Wingin’ It listeners aren’t the most brain dead people in the world with a selection of whacky stories from all over the world.
- Hiaku for You: Another great segment from Karen with a little teaser of a question with haikus on our beloved other presenters!
- The guys wrap up the show by thanking everyone in the IRC every week.
- Ian comments on the crazy ass goings on in the forums.
- The guys make a call out to break Jack Mangan’s Deadpan comment record of some 1200.

July 19th, 2006 at 8:54 pm
You wanna beat Mangan’s 1200, eh?
July 19th, 2006 at 10:22 pm
Mike’s 6′5″? Funny, I don’t quite remember that last year at Westercon in Calgary… Then again, exhaustion, beer, and driving 6+ hours in one day can skew memories.
July 19th, 2006 at 10:29 pm
Karen from Kalifornia mentioned my name(ish).
*sigh*
My life’s purpose is complete. Aside from that ‘travel the world’, ‘reach puberty’ stuff.
July 20th, 2006 at 5:47 am
Hey I’m making my contribution to the run for 1200+ It was a wacky time doing the show….possibly the only episode stranger than the infamous pool party! Hope you guys enjoy, and it doesn’t sacre ya away from the show!
July 20th, 2006 at 6:03 am
Gah! Worst show ever!!!
Where is the rewind button =-)
Evo has short-mans complex…. Now THAT explains a LOT!!! =_)
July 20th, 2006 at 6:03 am
I’m still listening now, contributing to the 1200. Jack, don’t hate me!
Great job guys! I’ll drop a few more comments after I listen and after we get a few hundred more posts in here.
July 20th, 2006 at 6:40 am
I will only add 1 comment to this show….
Mike and Evo should of had the 69.. that is just wrong. Wrong I tell you!!!
i will not contribute any further towards your 1200. Sorry guys
July 20th, 2006 at 6:54 am
Just finished listening.
Great job, Ian, Karen, Brad and Chris!
Thanks for letting me contribute, and thanks for keeping Wingin’ It going while those regular guys were slackin’!
July 20th, 2006 at 7:15 am
Hey Tony, it was a blast to do.
Now to see if we can really get 1200+ posts. Maybe if we are lucky.
July 20th, 2006 at 7:17 am
You know what, last week I thought I worked out that it was us that were Show #68, but I guess Joe must have got it wrong or something like that cause I was sure up until last night it was #68
But of course when I went to write the show notes, I realised it was #69
Sorry Andrea but stuff happens :p
July 20th, 2006 at 7:19 am
>>>Mike and Evo should of had the 69.. that is just wrong. Wrong I tell you!!!
Andrea….hey we were gonna call it show 68.5, but I guess they decided otherwise when they posted the show. Had we KNOWN…..well who knows what would have happened with the show!
July 20th, 2006 at 7:21 am
To tell you the truth, I don’t even want to imagine what would have happened, cause regardless of what would have been recorded, it would have been an even bigger mess for me to edit!!!
I suppose we could have missed it out in the order if Mike had answered his email like two weeks ago!!!
But since its been published and released like that, I suppose there is nothing we can do
ITS ALL JOE’S FAULT, SINCE HE POSTED IT UP ON THE FEED!!!
:P 
July 20th, 2006 at 7:22 am
Thanks for the name check, guys! Are you trying to say that I am a bit of a podcast slut, perhaps? I’ll admit it; I don’t mind sharing myself with just about everybody — at least my voice :-).
July 20th, 2006 at 7:28 am
It was a Great Poem especially since I was harassing you for it, although I still need to admit I have a slight idea of its purpose but no idea of where it is from
July 20th, 2006 at 7:36 am
I had been telling you guys it was #69… and even included it in Doodle of the Fates…
That’s ok… I’m used to not being listened to…
July 20th, 2006 at 7:49 am
I’m sorry Tony…..did you just say something?
July 20th, 2006 at 7:53 am
Did anyone hearing anything???
Now that you mention those numbers, weren’t they in Doodle of the Fates or was that just a parody?
God knows I am starting to hear voices
July 20th, 2006 at 8:02 am
The voices in my head are telling me to have a drink….it’s been a rough day so far.
July 20th, 2006 at 8:12 am
You guys made “Kyle XY” sound a bit more intriguing than it actually is. I like it, but it is more of a teen coming-of-age story; the SF quotient is pretty low. I think they should hurry up and solve the mystery of where Kyle came from so they can get on with the fish-out-of-water angle.
July 20th, 2006 at 8:18 am
When they first began describing “Kyle XY” I was thinking, “Sounds an awful lot like ‘John Doe’.
I think I’ll have to pass on this one for now, and see how it looks after the first season… if it’s still around.
July 20th, 2006 at 8:18 am
Eh, I may have lost the Doodle but my ass reigns supreme…
Weeeeepah!
July 20th, 2006 at 8:26 am
I didn’t think you’d mind the loss… as long as your ass got its proper representation, Alvie.
July 20th, 2006 at 8:32 am
True dat.
July 20th, 2006 at 8:32 am
Rematch I say…… REMATCH!
July 20th, 2006 at 8:36 am
Karen and Chris, it sounds like we are all in the same situation with our mates. My hubbyman barely knows what a podcast is; he definitely doesn’t know that I’m stroking strange men with my voice!
July 20th, 2006 at 8:43 am
I just want to hear more of that drool worthy accent. No Brad, I not talking about you.
July 20th, 2006 at 8:44 am
I’ll do another Doodle anytime… it was a lot of fun to put together… as long as Jack doesn’t put a hit out on me for the last one.
And Dani… your feedback is coming in our episode that is coming out in the day or so (unless last night’s storms here took out Tony’s power.)
July 20th, 2006 at 8:48 am
That poor girl in Oregon! It is hard out there for the single gals — they have to catch a man anywhere they can find one :-).
July 20th, 2006 at 8:50 am
Wiccy….Ian will be at Dragon*Con
July 20th, 2006 at 8:52 am
Why can’t the Russian guy just screw the cow? Men screw women without marrying them all the time.
July 20th, 2006 at 8:54 am
Karen, you used the wrong promo for the BunkCast again! You need to delete that one from your computer.
July 20th, 2006 at 8:57 am
Tony, thanks for using my VM on your show. I know I rambled on so you didn’t have to play it.
July 20th, 2006 at 9:06 am
Dani, it was perfect… In two minutes you made the point that we couldn’t make in 20 minutes
July 20th, 2006 at 9:21 am
::: sniff ::: boo hoo….hardly anyone ever sends a VM to our show.
July 20th, 2006 at 9:22 am
That is an excellent question Dani, why can’t he just screw the cow instead of marrying it? Isn’t that enough? Does he really love Bessie? Poor Bessie.
July 20th, 2006 at 9:25 am
That was the promo Karen gave me fior the Bunkcast as I was trying to fit in everyone’s show but I forgot about The Gigglefest
July 20th, 2006 at 9:28 am
I also didn’t catch the Fanboy Smackdown promo in there either, Ian…
July 20th, 2006 at 9:39 am
Hehe, well I am sure that people won’t have a problem finding us if they want to.
July 20th, 2006 at 9:39 am
Hehe, well I am sure that people won’t have a problem finding us if they want to.
July 20th, 2006 at 9:40 am
yay, go double posting. How in the world did I manage that?
July 20th, 2006 at 9:45 am
Chris… I just put ‘podcast giggle gigglecast’ into Google. And wouldn’t you know… Two Girls and a Podcast was #2 in the search… yeah, you shouldn’t be too tough to find

For the record, men in kilts are not scarey…men in kilts are HAWT!!!!!
REAL MEN WEAR SKIRTS!
July 20th, 2006 at 9:52 am
July 20th, 2006 at 9:55 am
I have worn a kilt….not a pretty sight.
July 20th, 2006 at 9:58 am
Brad: Believe it or not I was able to belay my droolfest long enough to hear and interperet that for my ownself.
July 20th, 2006 at 10:03 am
Kilts rock… especially when you are going to a Ren Faire and it’s 90ish degrees with 80+% humidity.
July 20th, 2006 at 10:08 am
Brad, sweets I like that has more to do with the lack of leg than the hotness of you… you really have to have good gams to pull off a kilt and well…yeah.
;P
July 20th, 2006 at 10:24 am
Karen regarding “Evo twirlinging around spitting fire”
As I heard that I heard in my head…
I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. Evo twirlinging around spitting fire. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
July 20th, 2006 at 11:03 am
Wiccy…..somewhere I HAVE pics of me in that kilt (video even) trust me….it AIN’T pretty. (one of the hazards of being in drama during high school)
July 20th, 2006 at 11:12 am
Come on guys! You’ve got quite a way to go to hit 1200 comments.
July 20th, 2006 at 11:15 am
Good stuff.
And I was mentioned. *cheers*

July 20th, 2006 at 11:23 am
ditto…..it ain’t for lack of trying. I guess some folk really were scared away by our show.

ops, double post, well atleast it will help on the march to 1200
July 20th, 2006 at 11:31 am
I don’t think anyone was scared away by the show. The three major comment pushers are just absent, that’s all.
July 20th, 2006 at 11:40 am
LOL…..geez if we scared dedicated folks like THEM away……WTF did everyone ELSE think?
July 20th, 2006 at 11:51 am
Oh you guys…. no one is scared. We get mocked for posting too much over here and now you want us to post?
July 20th, 2006 at 11:55 am
What the Hottie said.
July 20th, 2006 at 12:01 pm
I don’t know if we will be able to make it all the way to 1200 without your help though. Ah well, that is the way the cookie crumbles I guess.
July 20th, 2006 at 12:02 pm
Oh and Tony, you scared me right good with that search result. So I had to try it out, and well nowI have to scare Eliz. Muhahaha. Ok, I suck at the evil laughter, so I guess I should go back to the giggling. Hehehe.
July 20th, 2006 at 12:02 pm
Hell yeah we want ya to post. We’re vain we want this post to have the highest number of comments yet!
July 20th, 2006 at 12:05 pm
That would drive Evo nuts.
July 20th, 2006 at 12:07 pm
I heart Evo- i will not hurt him, nor Mike, nor KAMN, nor Jack, nor beer guy, nor sweet treat ladies, nor TD
July 20th, 2006 at 12:08 pm
I’m not saying we want to hurt him. Just tease him mercilessly.
July 20th, 2006 at 12:10 pm
Alvie is such a parrot.
July 20th, 2006 at 12:13 pm
Are you kidding? Evo would look at this as an extention of what he does… he can take credit for the idea of letting the fans do the show, he can then crow about how great an idea it was when this show has so many comments… plus he doesn’t have to do any work for it
July 20th, 2006 at 12:14 pm
Bah.
July 20th, 2006 at 12:16 pm
what are we down to useless comments just to build comment count? Cool!
July 20th, 2006 at 12:18 pm
>>>That would drive Evo nuts.
Ummm Ditto….isn’t he pretty much there already?
July 20th, 2006 at 12:20 pm
Well, it would be like making Napoleon so jealous he’d jump up and down in a fit. So to speak.
July 20th, 2006 at 12:20 pm
No Evo bashing. No Alvie bashing.
July 20th, 2006 at 12:21 pm
Not even a little?????
July 20th, 2006 at 12:24 pm
okay just a little
July 20th, 2006 at 12:26 pm
Andrea…..not bashing Evo really, but c’mon the guy IS nuts! (but in a wacky fun way)
July 20th, 2006 at 12:27 pm
No he is not, I heart Evo
July 20th, 2006 at 12:27 pm
Didn’t they bash each other enough in Doodle…. oh, wait… no, I was the one doing the bashing.
Nevermind.
July 20th, 2006 at 12:27 pm
I wouldn’t say he’s nuts. A meglomaniac, sure. Nuts? Naw.
July 20th, 2006 at 12:36 pm
I finished listening to the cast guys. Good job. It was fun.
July 20th, 2006 at 12:37 pm
“Andrea…..not bashing Evo really, but c’mon the guy IS nuts! (but in a wacky fun way)”
Sweet. that means your “really” bashing me.
Good luck getting to 1200.
feh.
July 20th, 2006 at 12:43 pm
See, now you guys did it. Pissed off Alvie. now I am going to have to start kicking some ass… who is first???
July 20th, 2006 at 12:45 pm
Glad to know that you liked it ditto. Some of us seek approval. Well, not really, but it is fun to have none the less.
July 20th, 2006 at 12:52 pm
didn’t think so……
July 20th, 2006 at 1:03 pm
uh…Alvie? Did I miss something? ::: looks around confused ::: How in the heck did I bash Alvie by saying that Evo’s nuts?
July 20th, 2006 at 1:07 pm
Ehh?
July 20th, 2006 at 1:10 pm
I’m so glad that I can’t post in a timely fashion because of the spam filter.
I hope someone gets this resolved soon so we can just have fun and enjoy the great work that Karen, Chris, Brad and Ian did.
July 20th, 2006 at 1:17 pm
Sweet. Confusion all around…
July 20th, 2006 at 1:28 pm
This comment has no point. It is solely to boost the comment count. 250 or bust!
July 20th, 2006 at 1:33 pm
So what IS the comment count as of this moment? I’m full of mindless drivel that I could allow to spill over my keyboard and out onto this page, jsut ask Brad…of course it wouldn’t have anything to do with the cast, does that matter?
July 20th, 2006 at 1:34 pm
250 ha I laugh at your 250 I am thinking 500!
July 20th, 2006 at 1:34 pm
So what IS the comment count as of this moment? I’m full of mindless drivel that I could allow to spill over my keyboard and out onto this page, jsut ask Brad…of course it wouldn’t have anything to do with the cast, does that matter?
Also, why is this thing being an asslemur?…
July 20th, 2006 at 1:35 pm
Test? WHY WON’T YOU TAKE MY COMMENT YOU STOOOOPID INTERWEB!!!????
July 20th, 2006 at 1:36 pm
500 hell……..I wanna beat the Deadpan! (no offense Jack)

July 20th, 2006 at 1:38 pm
Alvie….dammit man….you are giving me a headache! ::: hates confusion :::
July 20th, 2006 at 1:39 pm
no Jack Mangan/Deadpan bashing either
Deadpan-137
Wingin It-89
July 20th, 2006 at 1:39 pm
TEST? Hello? INTERWEB? TAKE MY BLOODY COMMENTS!!!!
Ewwww, I hate you so much right now…
July 20th, 2006 at 1:41 pm
::: sigh ::: How does wanting to beat The Deadpan in comments count as bashing? Gorrammitt hasn’t anyone heard of friendly rivalry? :p
July 20th, 2006 at 1:42 pm
Im just giving you shit man. I like giving people shit.
July 20th, 2006 at 1:44 pm
I don’t want shit….I want popcorn!
July 20th, 2006 at 1:45 pm
and beer!
July 20th, 2006 at 1:46 pm
and weed!
July 20th, 2006 at 1:50 pm
And a piece of ass!
July 20th, 2006 at 1:52 pm
Now that sounds like a fucking good time… no pun intended
July 20th, 2006 at 1:53 pm
well hell…I must be SOL ….. I don’t drink beer, I don’t smoke, and Christina is sick.
July 20th, 2006 at 1:54 pm
Only comment here as Im on the deadpan team.
500! HAH! I laugh at your small numbers. no more posting from me, but have a free comment…youll need it.
July 20th, 2006 at 1:55 pm
You have popcorn- you can sit and watch like a movie.
July 20th, 2006 at 1:57 pm
You know what we should stick to my original idea which is to beat the Wingin’ It record for comments on a show
The main difference is that Jack posts shows in a irregular pattern whilst we only have 5 days until the Voicemail show is released and there is a low possibility of beating his record, sure it would be nice but we don’t want this convo to break down into mindless rambling :p
July 20th, 2006 at 1:58 pm
almost

July 20th, 2006 at 1:59 pm

July 20th, 2006 at 2:11 pm
Ian, Jack has been posting a new Deadpan every Thursday. Doesn’t seem too irregular to me.
July 20th, 2006 at 2:13 pm
Jack posts his shows irregularly?
Huh… Seems to me they come out every Thursday.
July 20th, 2006 at 2:13 pm
heh, me and ditto share brains…
July 20th, 2006 at 2:18 pm
STICK. THI. TIM. DAMIT!

July 20th, 2006 at 2:32 pm
WI — 118
DP — 189
July 20th, 2006 at 2:36 pm
And Fanboy Smackdown has 4 comments… not 4 for the last episode, that’s 4 total… LOL
Why do we want to beat Jack? We like Jack. Jack’s our friend. We should be asking Jack to help get the comments up. He apparently knows how to do it.
Jack, Don’t hate me for Doodle of the Fates
July 20th, 2006 at 2:42 pm
I will give you guys a goodbye too. i am leaving for Rome- I will be back Tuesday.. play nice. good luck with your comment goal. see ya!
July 20th, 2006 at 2:43 pm
We are catchin up! Yes!
July 20th, 2006 at 2:54 pm
Well I figured I should give my input on the fan “WI”.
Rating- Very meh.
Who edited this together? I know many of you who participated are podcasters, so Im sure you know about levels. They were all of the place.
There were some decent segments, but it felt too fanboyish (girlish. personish) This idea had some potential, it could have been a show more in the style of WI, but where you all brought your own talents to it. But to me it felt like a message board that happened to be audio.
I know im going to be the only one here who has this opinion, but I speak my mind. And if it hurts you…then dont read the internet. Becasue you dont want my thoughts and opinions blocking your tubes, preventing your messages getting to places.
July 20th, 2006 at 2:59 pm
Jason I can relate, while it wasn’t WI traditional I accepted it going in.
July 20th, 2006 at 3:56 pm
Hi Jason, I am sorry to see you didn’t care for the episode. I feel I must say respond to your comment about the show being too fanboyish. It was difficult to figure out the best way to do the podcast without going too much into the styles of our own very different podcasts, so we tried to stay close to the WI style but without 3 hours of podcasting done beforehand. Very difficult to do btw, but we tried.
As for the comments about the editing, well, let’s just say there were some complications. I guess people will just appreciate the work Mike and Evo do even more.
Thanks for the feedback.
July 20th, 2006 at 4:16 pm
Chris….you forgot to add that the first few episodes of a podcast always suck!
Jason: Since that was the first time that crew had gotten together to do a ‘cast yeah it sounded rough. Maybe next time (hopefully there will be one since I had a blast doing it) We will do better. We did the best we could, we had fun, and it just takes time for a show to find it’s groove. Not to mention that we didn’t have the equipment resources of the Draco-Vista Studios to draw on when we did the show. Also not to sound too much like a prick but…..dude do you actually know how much work actually goes into producing a show?
July 20th, 2006 at 4:18 pm
Wiccy…..nope really doesn’t matter. Comment away!
July 20th, 2006 at 4:23 pm
We’re getting the comments up…
July 20th, 2006 at 4:23 pm
Hey Tony, I figured out that if you type “podcast gigglecast” in google, we come up as the first result. That should freak Eliz right out.
July 20th, 2006 at 4:25 pm
Brad- Yes I know alot goes into producing a show. but I also think that making the levels a bit closer cant be so hard. If I had been listening on headphones im sure my ears would have been blasted off when the bumpers played. Im not just knocking for shits and giggles, if no one else says these things then it might not get better.
July 20th, 2006 at 4:34 pm
Jason, I agree there was definitely a problem with the levels. Given a bit more time, we could have and would have fixed them, but as I previously said, there were some complications when it came to editing. So many tracks, so little time to set them all. Needless to say we took notes for future efforts. I think it is time to call this issue closed before it turns ugly, but I can appreciate your need to mention the problems as you saw them.
In any case, I hope you still decide to check out our individual shows, maybe that will help to assure you that we aren’t all bad.
July 20th, 2006 at 4:37 pm
chris- I agree I never wanted to start anything, I just wanted to get my voice out there.
July 20th, 2006 at 4:41 pm
I like the first show analogy because it really was both for the few brave souls trying to keep a weekly show alive in a world thrown into chaos.
Just means you don’t get excuses next time
July 20th, 2006 at 4:42 pm
*joking*
July 20th, 2006 at 4:43 pm
And hey, you still managed to help us get our comments count up. So thanks again.
See we can be one big happy family.
Hmmm, am I too sunshine happy for WI? Questions, questions. Hehe.
July 20th, 2006 at 4:45 pm
Oh no! Pressure! Can we deal with it? Hehe. Well I am sure we will do much better next time.

Oh youll never beat us Deadpanites! We shall rule the world.
July 20th, 2006 at 4:47 pm
Chris no, just too happy for WI with Evo
July 20th, 2006 at 4:47 pm
I appologize for coming down harsh on anyone, I guess I’m pretty defensive of show editors since I edit my podcast together. Feedback is all good, and honestly I think that I couldn’t have done the job of editing 4 seperate vocal tracks together. That was a hell of a job I bet….and Ian deserves a round of drinks for getting the job done.
July 20th, 2006 at 4:48 pm
And yet we must try. It is our own little Everest, cause the real one is big, and well cold at the top. Much better to try to win at this particular challenge.
July 20th, 2006 at 4:53 pm
And yet again I end up getting flagged as possible spam. Damn you spam filter!
Hehe, actually it must serve a good purpose so maybe I should try being nice.
Please nice spam filter, let me in. I am a nice girl, no really. And I am sure we can be friends. Hehe.
July 20th, 2006 at 5:16 pm
Concerning “podcast gigglecastâ€?: Yes, I am quite freaked and now must come up with some sort of solution. Google can’t be that hard to break into.
As for the podcast, loved it guys. You did a great job and it sounded like a lot of fun. But I think you guys need to drink more. Definitely not liberal enough with the alcohol.
July 20th, 2006 at 5:41 pm
1200? Pipe dream, or possible reality? Only time (and massive post counts) will tell…
July 20th, 2006 at 5:59 pm
I love to think of it as a beautiful dream that only you guys can help us to achieve. And I also like to think that it is going to happen cause I am a dreamer. Hehe, yeah, that’s it.
July 20th, 2006 at 6:10 pm
Ian, Karen, Brad, Chris….I got a mic…I’m ready!!!
July 20th, 2006 at 6:23 pm
P.S. I have been out of town every Saturday since my mic broke…so I should check my calender before I start volunteering to get drunk for podcasts…Great job guys!!! I drank three beers while listening to the show, and I laughed.
July 20th, 2006 at 6:39 pm
Yay! My aim is to make people laugh, so I be all happy now.
July 20th, 2006 at 7:36 pm
Yes more drinking! Definately…though as evidenced by the pool party it makes Karen mute
July 20th, 2006 at 7:37 pm
Yooper back in the house!
July 20th, 2006 at 7:46 pm
Lots of fun! Great job, gang!
July 20th, 2006 at 8:03 pm
We all happy here.
July 20th, 2006 at 8:30 pm
Maybe the group podcast thing should be done as a round robin. You can imitate Podculture next, then 2 Girls, then Fanboy Smackdown. Stay away from the BunkCast, though — that’s MY turf!
July 20th, 2006 at 9:18 pm
uh Dani….who would WANNA imatate PodCulture? And I think if we were to get Christina in on the act we would have the “gigglecast” down part. It hard to get that girl to stop once she gets to laughing.
July 20th, 2006 at 9:19 pm
also one HAS to wonder…….would they even LET us play in their sandbox again?
July 20th, 2006 at 9:26 pm
>>>Yes more drinking! Definately
Thomas: Dude….. alcohol + allergy meds = bad idea! Did ya not hear me talk about that or are ya trying to kill me? (come to think about it……) LOL….I limit m’self to just a very few occasional drinks because of my constant allergy meds. How’s about I get all hopped up on sugar and caffiene instead? More tasty and less dangerous!
July 20th, 2006 at 9:58 pm
Okay you get a pass that time. I suppose suger is an allowed sub, if necessary. Though I disagree with the tasty, you didn’t try my Black Lager at the pool party.
July 20th, 2006 at 10:09 pm
I know it’s damn near a nasty thing to say around here, but I do NOT like beer of any form. Just have not been able to develop a taste for it….and believe me….I’ve tried!
July 20th, 2006 at 11:59 pm
What a night I have missed
Just a quick response to Jason C’s comments about the show. The levels were indeed my fault and I apologize if I blew anyone’s ear drums out. However editting four massive audio files together using Audacity and cutting out large chunks of it, does put some strain on your computer.
Of course being Nightshift this week didn’t help, but I think apart from the sound levels, everything else was fine. Who cares what it sounded like, its Wingin’ It and just because it wasn’t like the usual lot doesn’t really matter since we were indeed “Wingin’ It”
I would love to do another show but not for a long time and some better planning because Mike only gave me a week preparation time and I think with more time to organise and work with, everything would have turned out for the better.
Brad - I indeed will be taking a very large drink this weekend for the accomplishment of editting the show or as I have classed it on my blog, ‘My Week in Wingin’ It Hell’
July 21st, 2006 at 4:35 am
I definitely thought first-podcast-rules applied with this one, so you guys got a pass on many things. We all know Mike is a sound/editing god, though much underappreciated. So, it would be next to impossible to produce something just as good as a regular WI episode right off the bat.
WI is unique. There is a certain chemistry.
Even if the regular crew wasn’t in this ep, and even if the production was off, the chemistry was still there. There will always be some negative comments, and there is always room for improvement. Just don’t let it bring you down.
Good job guys. I enjoyed the episode.
July 21st, 2006 at 5:17 am
Thanks Ditto. I heard someone say once that when you start a podcast, record your first 5-10 episodes, them out and THEN release your “first” episode. I’m looking at this as I do when we record PodCulture I have a great time chatting with friends, and it just so happens that a podcast comes out of it.
July 21st, 2006 at 5:23 am
Oh man, we are so running out of steam, we need some more posts soon or we will never have are 1200.
July 21st, 2006 at 5:35 am
Heh. I’m not sure you *really* want 1200 comments here.
July 21st, 2006 at 5:35 am
I’m trying Chris…..I’m trying. Maybe folks just haven’t woken up yet?
July 21st, 2006 at 6:13 am
>>>Heh. I’m not sure you *really* want 1200 comments here
You are right ditto….I DON’T want 1200 here! I want MORE!!!!! Bring it on!
July 21st, 2006 at 6:38 am
Wow Dani… to include Fanboy Smackdown with the likes of Two Girls and a Podcast and Podculture(I’ll still working this one through the queue of podcasts)… we are honored. To echo in a distorted fashion what Brad said, our show is just a conversation between two friends… a conversation that would take place anyway, just that we record it…. and take voice mail… and email… and play promos for other people…. Ok, so maybe it’s not just a conversation, but it’s MOSTLY a conversation.
Until the Genie shows up, takes over the Television and calls everyone FOOLS when they get in the way of his Smallville watchin’.
Um… Yeah.
July 21st, 2006 at 6:40 am
So if I change things around, will it make it past the filter?
July 21st, 2006 at 7:00 am
>>>There will always be some negative comments, and there is always room for improvement. Just don’t let it bring you down.
Where were these?
July 21st, 2006 at 7:13 am
Alvie: There were a few comments made about the sound levels, the fanboyish nature of the show, the editing, and the fact that the show didn’t “feel” like a regular WI.
July 21st, 2006 at 7:14 am
oh yeah and that the Deadpan folk seem to think that there’s NO WAY that we could beat then in number of comments too! I’d call that pretty negative!
July 21st, 2006 at 7:17 am
Are you trying to compensate for something, Brad?
July 21st, 2006 at 7:28 am
I dont see those as negative at all. I saw them as honest comments. They werent intended to be malicious I dont think? Do you?
>>>oh yeah and that the Deadpan folk seem to think that there’s NO WAY that we could beat then in number of comments too! I’d call that pretty negative!
*wags finger*
Welll you made youre own bed as far as that goes! Lay in it!
*puts finger away*
July 21st, 2006 at 7:30 am
fuck its too early to try and be grammatically correct….
July 21st, 2006 at 7:36 am
Well, negative can be in the eye of the beholder. I didn’t think Jason was being negative either, but some people might have felt that way. It certainly isn’t like Jason said, “You guys frakin’ suck” which would be very negative.
I need a beer.
July 21st, 2006 at 7:38 am
The audio levels were off a bit, mostly the promos were much louder but, it didn’t bother me none really and didn’t hinder my enjoment of the show at all.
July 21st, 2006 at 7:44 am
Already??????
Ditto, step 1 is admitting you have a problem.
Step 2 is me telling you you frackin suck.
Tough love, ditto, tough love.
July 21st, 2006 at 7:56 am
Yeah. I suck *beer*! Ha! Take that! Didn’t see that one coming, did ya?!!
July 21st, 2006 at 7:57 am
No I don’t think the comments were ment to be harsh at all. Ok the comments were the closest to negative that have been posted thus far. Harsh no, not really? Believe me I’ve gotten worse on my own show, and even then the person in that case didn’t have the courtesy to sign their name to it….they punked out and posted anonomously.
July 21st, 2006 at 7:57 am

Yes, ditto… I dinna see that one coming.
*rubs face*
July 21st, 2006 at 7:57 am
WTF how did that double post?
July 21st, 2006 at 7:59 am
You clicked the button twice?
July 21st, 2006 at 8:00 am
I think the problem is I’m listening to Charlie’s beer cast right now. It’s making me thirsty. T h i r s t y, I say!!!
July 21st, 2006 at 8:05 am
nope no double click on the button.
July 21st, 2006 at 8:11 am
Then clearly you have magic powers Brad. Use them for evil, not good…
Wait switch that.
On second thought, dont.
FUck it. I want a beer too. Fuck this work stuff ditto. Lets go drink. I can be in KC in 8 ish hours.
July 21st, 2006 at 8:15 am
Well if you are headed to KC you’ll be in the wrong place! I’m here in Kentucky. But hey if you wanna swing on by, I’ll take you over to dad’s tavern.
July 21st, 2006 at 8:16 am
w00t!!!!
July 21st, 2006 at 8:20 am
Sorry Brad, I was headed to see ditto.
HOWEVAR KY aint that far away from MO in the long run…
Mental road trip!!!!!
Ah…
July 21st, 2006 at 8:36 am
Im out.
Gday
July 21st, 2006 at 8:37 am
One last shot at beating the filter before I give up for the day…
July 21st, 2006 at 11:06 am
Double posting Brad to build comment count Brad for shame

But it’s all better now….I hope
July 21st, 2006 at 11:40 am
server go boom
July 21st, 2006 at 11:47 am
Yeah, the Deadpanities were scared and so they flooded the site with comments and managed to crash the server…again
July 21st, 2006 at 11:52 am
Uh… except it takes down Jack’s site too which is why we wouldn’t do that.
July 21st, 2006 at 12:00 pm
Yknow Im reeeealllly trying to stay neutral in this “competition” but any more anti-Deadpanite statements come across here and Im picking sides.
Dont worry, Ive said the same thing “over there” also…
July 21st, 2006 at 12:14 pm
*uses Alvi mind trick on self*
These ARE the chips Im looking for…
-These are the chips Im looking for
I WILL go to lunch and enjoy these chips…
-I will go to lunch and enjoy these chips
Huh, suddenly I crave chips.
July 21st, 2006 at 12:47 pm
On the level issue (cuz nothing is closed in my world) I totally appreciate how much of a pain in the ass it is. Andrea and I record GYGO separately and she sends me her audio file. I try to reconcile the differences between the audio and its really hard. My mic is way better so I need to adjust all kinds of levels to get them similar. The first few sounded like utter crap.
July 21st, 2006 at 1:10 pm
HEY!!! Im in Rome motherfuckers!!!! Stopped at a internet cafe- my husband is looking up stock market crap for work (yes he is a work-a-holic) so I am checking on you all.
(Jeremy are you trying to tell everyone I sound like crap???– just kidding, I do. I need to figure that out next week why my Mic sucks)
I am not on either “side” Wingin It was my first love, and I will always love it- I happen to spend more time over at Deadpan right now.. but Mike and Evo are the shit.
Bye kids.. I have go be like the Romans now……
July 21st, 2006 at 1:14 pm
OMG, Andrea I am all jealous. Have a good time in Rome.
July 21st, 2006 at 1:29 pm
Im all jealous too also too as well.
Luuuuckeeeee.
July 21st, 2006 at 1:34 pm
How come no one’s using the audio comment thing?
Anyway, this goes out to all y’all….happy Friday…
July 21st, 2006 at 1:42 pm
200.
Charlie ive used it twice. Not on this post, but still.
DO peeps even know about it?
July 21st, 2006 at 1:43 pm
Yay! Charlie poured us a beer.
Soooowheeeeeettt!
July 21st, 2006 at 1:48 pm
Well Charlie is a very sweet man. At least I assume he is.
July 21st, 2006 at 2:00 pm
Chris, don’t make me trot out “ass out of you and me”….
The girls all called me “sweet” in high school, and I got, like, ZERO action
July 21st, 2006 at 2:04 pm
Thats funny. The girls all called me “that wierd stoned guy passed out on the floor”.
Action = zero as well…
…that I remember at least.
July 21st, 2006 at 2:07 pm
Sadly Charlie I think that is the way it works in general. People sleep with the “bad” boys and girls, but marry the “nice” or “sweet” ones. Damn silly if you ask me, but it seems to be one of the few constants in life.
July 21st, 2006 at 2:07 pm
Funny that.
July 21st, 2006 at 2:12 pm
Sometimes I wish I could go back in time and say to those girls, “Yeah, I’m a sweet little doormat now, but SOMEDAY I’ll have my own PODCAST and be known as ‘the Beer Guy’ and THEN you’ll want me!”
….Uh…never mind…
July 21st, 2006 at 2:21 pm
The spam filter is taking me away again. In any case…
LOL Charlie. I think that the way it works in general is people sleep with the “bad” boys and girls, but marry the “nice” or “sweet” ones. Damn silly if you ask me, but it seems to be one of the few constants in life.
July 21st, 2006 at 2:24 pm
No ones laughing ditto….
Well, except the ladies…
*sigh*
July 21st, 2006 at 2:41 pm
Tony and Wiccy are giving me fits. Something about you two kids the filter does not like. Somehow Wiccy’s IP address (a BellSouth allocation) was both whitelisted and blacklisted. Samething happened to Tony’s Fanboysmackdown.com domain name. I’ve deleted the blacklists and left the white. Here’s to hoping you don’t cause me any additional work. I’m supposed to be taking the month off, remember?
July 21st, 2006 at 2:41 pm
You have my sympathy, Alvie. I know where you are coming from.
July 21st, 2006 at 2:43 pm
Chris–have you tried Unibroue’s Quelque Chose? I’ve only read about it, but it sounds like a “good” kind of fruit beer.
July 21st, 2006 at 2:46 pm
Month?
I can’t survive another Wingin’ It Show, last one damn near killed me, literally
July 21st, 2006 at 2:55 pm
I have just realised and I think Brad might have already mentioned it, we are the most downloaded show in Wingin’ It history
July 21st, 2006 at 2:57 pm
I really want to try it out Charlie, but I keep missing it in the stores. But if I find some one day I will send you some.
July 21st, 2006 at 2:59 pm
Are you sure about that Ian? I would think that the pool party would still beat it.
July 21st, 2006 at 3:07 pm
Thanks, Chris!
Congrats, Ian et al.!
July 21st, 2006 at 3:08 pm
You mean your not deaf because of it?
July 21st, 2006 at 3:16 pm
WHAT???? GRATZ!
July 21st, 2006 at 3:16 pm
What?
July 21st, 2006 at 3:18 pm
WHAT!?!?
July 21st, 2006 at 3:26 pm
OK, so my house isn’t the only one where such cheap bad humor reigns supreme…
July 21st, 2006 at 3:34 pm
WHAT?
July 21st, 2006 at 3:36 pm
Ok, I think that joke has got a little bare
July 21st, 2006 at 3:42 pm
Yes…but they ARE posts, and you’ve got over 1000 to go….
July 21st, 2006 at 3:43 pm
See If I hadnt said anything…then we would not have this great comic moment.
July 21st, 2006 at 3:43 pm
Knew I liked you Charlie.
July 21st, 2006 at 3:48 pm
er…ALMOST 1000 to go…stupid math…
July 21st, 2006 at 4:07 pm
math is hard.
July 21st, 2006 at 4:17 pm
Death is easy.
Ooooh, that was dark…..
July 21st, 2006 at 4:19 pm
mmmmm dark beer.
July 21st, 2006 at 4:49 pm
Oooh, I second that. Dark beer good.
July 21st, 2006 at 4:58 pm
…and it sounds like this….
July 21st, 2006 at 6:11 pm
OK, that’s been done before. But geez, no one seems to like to use the Audio Comment option, and there’s the stated goal of 1200 comments…
Somebody else come up with something…
July 21st, 2006 at 6:53 pm
Got to listen to the show today. I thought it was a fantastic effort. Don’t tell Jack, but that was the best doodle EVAH!.
July 21st, 2006 at 6:54 pm
I’m surprised no one took this one…
Count me first in line for Andrea’s ass kicking party. Hurt me, hurt me!
You guys have seen that picture post by now, I expect.
July 21st, 2006 at 7:01 pm
Charlie made a valiant effort with his show number 6 to make a beer drinker out of me. Alas, it appears that it is simply not meant to be for me. The Shiner Bock is widely available around here and I gave it a try. While it was better than the Macrobrew stuff, I just couldn’t get into it.
Charlie does a great show and you should check it out. I still listen as it is a most entertaining show. I’ve come to realize that I must just have sharper taste buds because Charlie and the others describe the macrobrews as tasteless and watery. I find them to be very bitter myself. The Shiner Bock was also very bitter to my taste, so it was really a matter of degree vs. flavor.
I don’t know why this is, but I think it means I’m just going to have to stick with my run and coke (zero) or the occasional Long Island Tea.
July 21st, 2006 at 7:03 pm
I’m curious - we ya’ll able to get clean copies of the bumpers and such from Mennennennega to work with for the show?
July 21st, 2006 at 7:04 pm
Hey, I listened to the show through headphones (Sony in ear sound isolating type) and the level changes didn’t blow my eardrums out!
So, there!
July 21st, 2006 at 7:15 pm
Thanks for the good words, Ed. Sorry we couldn’t get you into the beer-drinking fold. Yet. Keep listening. I’ve still got one or two ideas up my sleeve…
July 21st, 2006 at 7:26 pm
Oh, by the way - as for Stargate SG-1, most of the original actors are still in place, at least on the SG-1 team itself. Some of the supporting roles, like the commanding general and the chief medical officer (I can’t believe they killed her off, the bastards!) have changed, Carter, Teal’c, and Jackson are all still there from the beginning.
July 21st, 2006 at 7:28 pm
Charlie,
I most certainly will. I loved especially the episodes where you had, in turn, Michael and Evo, and managed to surprise both of them with your selections. Good stuff!
July 21st, 2006 at 7:33 pm
Hey there Ed, I assume that Ian still has all of the bumpers, but when will Mike ever need to use one for me? Hehe.
July 21st, 2006 at 8:02 pm
Mike didn’t send me anything as he did exactly what he said he was going to be doing the week before……absolutely nothing. I have to cut them ALL out of previous shows hence why some things were slightly different like:
The First Drink of the Day bumper
No Ending to Scifi Poetry Slam
Brad and Chris bumpers were made entirely by me
July 21st, 2006 at 8:44 pm
and a damn shiny job you did Ian!
July 21st, 2006 at 8:46 pm
nothing to say, but this is comment 250!
July 21st, 2006 at 9:09 pm
and this is 251
July 21st, 2006 at 9:25 pm
You guys have nothing better to do than post comments on a Friday night? What lame-O’s.
*blushes with self-consciousness and whistles tunelessly*
July 21st, 2006 at 9:46 pm
dude……..I’m up working on the PodCulture site. (as best I can anyhow….I suck at this stuff) Posting comments give me a break from trying to figure all this crap out!
