I have a feeling that this is going to be the first of many, many comments on this episode with that announcement.
May 9th, 2007 at 2:48 pm
Really Tony, I think our comments will be the only ones.
May 9th, 2007 at 8:05 pm
How can you guys be ending this, it rocks, it is one of my top podacsts if not the top, It has been great to have such a good laugh with you guys every week, you will be missed big time. I know you will be around for others but there is nothing like winhim’ it, it is one of a kind.
May 9th, 2007 at 8:09 pm
Oh please. You want freaky? We’re not even the tip of the freaky iceberg.

Oh that’s right.. Eliza and her tentacles!!!
*Brian scribbles that onto the freak list*
*HUG ELIZA!!!*

First thought was, what I’m going to listen to while I drink and watch my RBD concert videos? Second thought was cha-ching$$$. My Dragon Page bottle opener just tripled in value. And the ball cap, yes! Going to have stop wearing it though, not everyone likes head sweat.
So I need everyone to pimp the end of the show so I can e-bay my way to a cross country pub tour.
And I-Jim did a good job too.

At some stage you might want to highlight a “methadone” podcast for the heroin that is / was Wingin’ it
May 10th, 2007 at 5:03 am
What a roller coster with wingin it . Joe(wonder what he would have thought about the closin of wingin it),hiatus,wine, and now show closing. If I didn’t love you guys, and this show I would have given up, but in 34 more podcasts the choice will be made for us.
I was thinking maybe a boxed set Of Wingin It when the show is finished. Proceeds could go to the Murphy fund. Maybe include a bonus show just for the boxed set
Thanks everyone for Wingin It. It’s appreciated and will be missed when gone.
I can’t come to the pool party. So I do have to come to Dragon Con. I must hear Evo say “Hey all you crazy sons a bitches!” in person at least once in my life
May 10th, 2007 at 6:27 am
you can not do this…you can not end the show on december 31st…I was planning on going to dragon con next year…and now I can go…but I won’t have a live wingin’ it to go to…It will be like going to Disney land and not seeing mickey mouse…
Serious note…I am okay with this…you will still be doing Slice of Sci-fi…and hopefully something bigger and better can come out next year.
May 10th, 2007 at 7:43 am
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU CAN’T END THIS SHOW.. IT WAS THE FUNNIEST SHOW I LISTENED TO ON MY PODCAST.. DAMMIT TO HELL.
May 10th, 2007 at 7:50 am
Why ?
E.
May 10th, 2007 at 8:19 am
No! You can’t! SAVE WINGIN’ IT!
Tee Morris T-Minus!
We need a resurgence of the “Mondo Feed”!
Because I might have to listen to EVERY OTHER FARPOINT MEDIA SHOW to equal the sheer fun of Wingin’ It.
And of course NOW Mike finally remembers the phone number correctly…
May 10th, 2007 at 8:23 am
WHY!!!!!????????!!!! NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
What did we do wrong?!?!?!?!?! and to think i was already trying to think about editing together that Indiana Jim sequence
May 10th, 2007 at 9:02 am
Do it once a month of something. You can’t just kill it!!!!!
May 10th, 2007 at 1:11 pm
I haven’t gotten to listen to the show to hear the announcement, but there are a couple of reasons - I can think of - for stopping where I think it is a good move.
1. You feel the show has run its course.
2. It isn’t fun any more.
3. Your plates are too full as it is. One less show to worry about.
I’m sure there are other perfectly legitimate reasons, which you may or may not expound upon.
There can always be special episodes when/if you feel like it.
Wingin’ It is fun and will be throughout the countdown. Giv mig en ø.
Skøl!
May 10th, 2007 at 1:11 pm
Helps, if I finish the word. ØL
May 10th, 2007 at 2:49 pm
While I admire any show that ends itself without sort of trailing off, I am kind of pissed about this. I just need a few clarifications:
1) After wingin it ends will you not have pool parties or dragon-con parties?
2) How often might you do some sort of debauchery on air for old times sake?
Well at least we have George Hrab, so who needs you assholes anyway.
May 10th, 2007 at 3:08 pm
As I’m nostaligic for a certain puppet show, maybe the could countdown the last five episodes:
5, 4, 3, 2, 1..
May 10th, 2007 at 7:55 pm
I haven’t listened to the announcement yet, but I’m disappointed that you’re going to quit. WI is my favorite Farpoint show and I’m really going to miss the over-the-top, out-of-control nature of things.
Can it not be done on a less-regular basis? Maybe have a WI for the pool party and others for various conventions? Do WI when you folks feel like it instead of having to do it every week.
I’ll probably post more when I hear the announcement, probably tomorrow. At least I won’t be caught by surprise and drop a dumbbell on my foot or something.
May 10th, 2007 at 10:54 pm
OMFG Brian I hate you.
May 10th, 2007 at 11:03 pm
Wingin’ It was one of the first podcasts I started listening to and it’s one of only two that have stayed in my podcatcher since then (I’ve been devoted to the show since #18!). I’m truly devastated right now. I know you guys have a lot going on and that your plates overfloweth, and while I do understand the reasoning, it makes me very sad to know that my favorite podcast, the one I look forward to more than probably any other, will be going away. At least you gave us fair warning - I guess that’s something? Sigh. I go cry now.
May 11th, 2007 at 4:59 am
Farpoint Media is like fuckin’ Fox, canceling their best show too soon! Maybe next Wingin It! will be episode 110?
May 11th, 2007 at 6:04 am
Damn, and just ten episodes after I got hooked, too. DAMN being always late with these internet “fads”. So now I can’t get to the pool party next year.. and can’t afford this year.
To whoever suggested the Boxed set, with Proceeds to Joe Murphy Memorial Fund: I’ll pay anything for that boxed set, and feel even happier that it’ll go to a great cause.
May 11th, 2007 at 11:01 am
Oh my god, they’ll kill Wingin’ it!…
Oh nein, gerade hoer ich die aktuelle Wingin’ it Folge, und was hoer ich da? Ende des Jahres ist Schluss. Schade, aber dann muessen wir die letzten 34 Folgen halt um so mehr geniessen………
May 11th, 2007 at 2:02 pm
If WI ends, who will destroy my headphones? How will ruin my hearing? Where will I get my, ahem, Richard jokes from?
WI was the second podcast (The man, the legend, Sigler was my first, sorry… no cherry for you) I ever listened to it is one of the few that have stood the test of time. I agree with other comments above. If this is a time thing, then do WI every other week or even once a month. Kill the separate VM show and include it in the main show. Anything. If time to edit is the issue, stop editing. Make the show more like a recording of the live feed. (The live feed rocks, btw).
You know if you kill WI, then the interwebs will collapse. Maybe we should start writing FOX, errr, FPM now and start a save the WI campaign? savewinginit.com?
May 11th, 2007 at 2:13 pm
Who will call be a crazy son of a bitch?
May 12th, 2007 at 9:27 am
The DragonPage was my first podcast, followed closely by Slice and Wingin’ It. I gave DragonPage a chance after the change, but it wasn’t what I wanted in a podcast about books. Now WI is leaving. If I hear that Slice is going, too, I’ll hunt y’all down. You WILL die like dogs!
You guys have done a great job with WI, and I will miss it. Actually, this kind of works out for me: I just started a new job and will only be driving half the distance, so I need to get rid of some podcasts, anyway. Not that I wanted my decisions made for me.
May 12th, 2007 at 9:36 pm
Evo . . . I’ve been thinking about your little “Fantasy nuts are the crazy dresser-uppers” rant.
According to the “Ideas v. Alternate Worlds” definitions posited by Brian/Tim (sorry guys) the purest scifi on recent TV has to be Firefly. Mr Whedon has shown us a potential future for this, our, universe based solely on our own technological advances.
[This is as opposed to Star Trek / Stargate / Charlie Jade which are set in alternative universes, and it takes technological advances for humans to interact with them.]
The number of browncoats seen at recent conventions means that fantasy fans are not the only culprits here.
May 13th, 2007 at 12:24 pm
Wingin’ It was podcast number… four for me? I’ve loved it the entire time I’ve listened, and I will be sad to see it go. However, you’ve obviously thought about this, and you all should do what you feel is right. If you aren’t having fun recording, and it’s just another stress, you should stop.
Still, it’ll be kinda sad next year when you aren’t in my normal podcast rotation.
May 13th, 2007 at 6:54 pm
“Oh my god! They killed Wingin’ It!”
“You bastards!”
>.>
South Park captures my reaction to your announcement…extremely well.
July 13th, 2007 at 2:49 pm
there ARE new listeners, i’m one of them, i just started listening about a month ago starting with episode 91!
SAVE THE WINGIN’ IT, SAVE THE WORLD!!!
