- Also on the show:
- Mike and Charlie pimp Eat Your Beer at speakingofbeer.com

- Out of curiosity, why does Charlie hate his show being called smart? Yes, his show is fun, but next to Charlie… Let me put it this way. Ever hear of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates? Morons.
- Ok, everybody. It’s time! Take the phone off the hook. Lock the children in the linen closet. Shoot the missionaries at the front door. It’s time for the greatest fan controbution EVAR!
- Have you checked out We Are Not Cool?
- You know how, on the West Wing, Josh would fill Donna in on the plot so the audience would understand what’s going on? We do that with Mike’s new wife.
- CopperCon is this weekend. WooHoo! Take some pictures and let us know how it was. Hey, you can learn how to beat a polygraph.
- Scifi Poetry Slam: Half a Dozen of the Others, by The Computer King

- Are you the one who ordered the official Michael and Evo Wingin’ It beer opener?
- Rebeer. God, I love Karen: Gulden Draak, and Monty Python’s Holy
Grail Ale - Tempered over burning witches. - He knows physics, and he knows literature. Man, Charlie is a smart guy. Have you checked out his smart (and fun, and funny) show Speaking of Beer?
- Pluto is a planet! A planet, goddammit!! I don’t care what those fuckers at the IAU say.
- The Fanboy Smackdown Podcast was recently asked by Dani in NC “What are you a Sucker For?” With permission, we discuss the same question here. And, we have a voicemail show, people. Chime in.

- Comedians who do well in dramatic roles.
- More directors we’re suckers for.

Hey mike I know you were drunk and suffer from Mennengasia,but 9 planets + 2 more planets does not =12 planets.
Now we have a full house!
August 30th, 2006 at 2:22 pm
Clearly Doz and I are the only ones who are all talky today.
Word up Doz!
August 30th, 2006 at 2:24 pm
9 planets plus 3 large outer objects = 12.

Joe, um, I’m a little uncomfortble with some of the comparisons in the show notes. Plato has his metaphor of the Cave, Socrates his socratic method, Aristotle his Logic, and I’ve got…a podcast about beer.
*grabs a beer and downs it*
…yeah… never mind…those guys are simps!
August 30th, 2006 at 2:29 pm
Ahhh sorry! I just heard wrong!
August 30th, 2006 at 7:30 pm
Charlie, any chance I get to quote The Princess Bride, I’m taking it.

Laughed my ass off with the greatest fan controbution. Really good show this week!
August 31st, 2006 at 10:06 am
That ad was fucking awsome… we need more podcasters playing that.
August 31st, 2006 at 11:56 am
Thanks for using my movie question as a conversation starter! You guys do a great round table. We need to find more subjects outside of SF for you guys to discuss.

Wow-13 comments, about what Mangan gets within first 5 seconds of a new show going up…
Anyway I came to praise Caesar not to bury him. If this is not the perfect comic for Mike Mennenga, I don’t know what is: http://xkcd.com/comics/mispronouncing.png
Have a great DragonCon WIteers.

Y’know, every time I hear Evo read the advertisement slogan, I think of two things. 1) the mild trashing you people gave the show and 2) the fact that Evo doesn’t watch television.
You’re not selling me, or anybody else who listens, any DVD sets. You’re just selling out. If you were pitching Battlestar, or Dr. Who, or SG-1 stuff, I wouldn’t mind as much, but slapping a tattoo on your collective cornholes that says “this space for rent to anyone who will pay us” isn’t going to sell any widgets for anyone. You total lack of sincerity in delivering the same simple message, that one listener has even pointed out as inaccurate, is a real irritation, and a detraction from the content.
Stop doing it now. Sell something you actually care about. The bottle openers, Utilikilts, the Shatner DVD club, fuck…get your asses on the calendars already, but stop shilling shit you really don’t care about. It’s stupid.

Man, I finally got around to listening to this one.
Great ad!
Spork, how the fuck do you know whether they like Invasion or not? They are advertising things that THEIR LISTENERS MIGHT LIKE. Charlie the Beer Guy does the same sort of thing when he brings beer on the show: he’s bringing beer he thinks the gang will like.
Advertising helps keep them in beer so they can keep producing the show that you don’t seem to like. If you don’t like them advertising, I hope you’re sending them an equivalent amount in contributions.
