Hey kids! What time is it?

No, it’s not time for that. It’s time for a new podcast. Jeez.

Sorry for the delay. It was tough to get together just to get it recorded, what with big wedding goings-on in Freak’s family. Then actually getting it posted was a bit of a challenge as well, between work and all. We should be back on track for a new episode next week.

Here’s the show notes:

Been away, and there’s a reason.
BBG hanging out in the background
Benny gets married
Shit you do when you get married
Bachelor parties and guns
Mynxxx and The All-Star Game
Strip Clubs in general
Club Sapphire
Stripper Bucks: Play along at home!
Larry’s Villa: it’s not a destination, it’s an experience.
Wrestling and puking at the bachelor party
Why do people come to Vegas to shop? I mean, come on.
No sales tax in the Mall of America?
Crocop K.O.’d!
Freak comes from a huge clan of inbred italian hill-dwelling mutants.
Niagara Falls vs. Bellagio
Slappers and The Boss of Slappers
Which brings us, naturally, to baseball cards.
And comic books.
Freak’s in trouble with the Man. Don’t steal movies, kids.
Watch out, Freak’s going to create his own super p2p service. And a flying suit.
The worst wrap up and contact info ever.

Evil Knievel.

Games that are designed to take your money.

Dealers get the girls.

Freak tells a long boring story about New Year’s, The Strip and the Glass Pool Motel. Surprisingly it ends on Burrito’s dick and not Freak’s.

How to score a bunk at Freak’s joint.

Camera on Burrito. Dealers run in his family.

What is the place and who are all these people?

Yeah, you read correctly. Shows number 5 and 6 are restored back to their former glory right here and here. If you wanna hear again or check ‘em out for the first time, you know what to do. Eventually all of the previous shows will be restored, work and the Internet gods willing.

Right now I’m just waiting on my boy to give me the call so we can get together tonight. We’re going to try to have both Gizmo and Skype open for callers so fire up the client of your choice and see if you can’t just get your bad self on the air. A caveat: I haven’t actually tried this yet, so no promises that it’s going to work and/or won’t give you a nasty purulent infection. You’ve been warned.

As I mentioned, there’s been a few behind the scenes changes. If Feedburner works as advertised, most of ya’ll will never notice. One big change is that we’ve decided to hell with it, RIAA/MPAA be damned! We’re pretty damned sure our old intro/outro fall under the umbrella of fair use and, thus, we’re bringing back the older shows.

There are only four of the original shows back up but they’re pretty much where I left them the first time. I’m waiting on Freak to get me the archived copies of shows 5-13. And, if you were paying attention, yes, the numbering scheme is now a teeny bit fucked up. And I don’t give a shit anymore. We’re not professionals. You want professionalism? Pay us.

The shows that have been updated/reuploaded are:

Show #1
Show #2
Show #3
Show #4
Show #14
Show #15
Show #16 The Palms Show
Show #17 The Grateful Escort of the UFC Queen
Show #18 The 18 Hole Hip-Hop Crackdown of the St. Paddy’s Day Smodtator

And if Freak comes up with another title like that last one, I’ll brain him.

Those of you listening with RSS readers, hopefully you won’t be re-downloading anything you’ve already grabbed, but if you find yourself feeling that dej

What up, peeps?

We actually got together on Friday to do this but there was just too much distraction going on for us to ever get anywhere. Fortunately we were able to pick up again on Saturday and put one out.

This week:

Yesterday was an abortion. Too much shiny shit for Freak.
Freak’s fucking secretary day.
Wood’s a neat freak and a dumbass.
How to destroy a nice pair of earbuds.
Crackdown! Crackdown! Crackdown!
SMODCast! Lunchbox and Snowball stole our bit.
Crackdown: It doesn’t suck!
BBG: producing but she really wants to star.
Spanky and protecting identities.
Happy St. Pat’s.
Freak’s Mom and Freak’s Dad, a.k.a. The Butcher Pimp.
Playing Crackdown upside-down: Blame Angry Johnny.
Dan. Fucking. Savage.
Learning to Love Your Low Libido. Fuck that shit.
Open a bar in Vegas. It’s like printing money.
Golden Tee: things that go thump in the bar.
Minigolf for grown-ups and drunks. And grown-up drunks.
Frank’s dad, Pol Pot, Idi Amin, and Saddam Hussein.
Agility orbs: it’s just like Super Mario 64.
Who would you have a threesome with?
If you haven’t figured it out yet, we like Crackdown.
Shout out to Noodle.
Freak in the Magic Kingdom.
The Disney Memorial Orgy Print.
Crackdown. Again. Sorry.
Freak’s nascent hiphop career.
Meeting chicks at the punk show.
*If anyone knows anything about Perturbed, a Vegas punk band that is now defunct, please write in!
The perfect wrap and Freak fucks it all up.
This week’s outro music: Souvenier quand tu nous tiens from Jamendo.com (I’ll put a link up to the artist when Freak sends me one)

Write in! Tell us what you liked and what you didn’t. We had a discussion yesterday about the old intro/outro again. Freak has always been of the opinion that we’ll be fine, me, not so much. I’ve been kind of nervous about copyrighted material. But then I got a listen to SMODCast and started thinking: if those dudes can play entire fucking songs, with the only saving grace being that they talk all over them, well…

You let me know what you think: should we bring back the old catalog and go back to the original intro and outro? I liked them a lot but I’m also kind of enjoying making Freak do something creative. Use the contact info on the right. Leave us a voicemail with Gizmo, (hint: use GizmoCall if you’re not ready to install VOIP software on your computer—our ID is serviceindustrynight).

Update: Upon reflection, I came to the conclusion that we dropped a couple of names we shouldn’t have dropped, so in the interest of avoiding gang rape by high-powered attorneys the latest show has been pulled and re-cut. We do not have, nor have we ever had, any information that might implicate any casino owner for solicitation of prostitutes and did not mean to imply that we did. We sincerely apologize.

You’ll notice that there are some gaps in the audio as a result. To those of you who’ve already downloaded the show I would take it as a personal favor if you would delete it and re-download the new cut. And don’t bother with the blackmail angle. We’s already po’ enough. Oh, and I fixed the title. That Freak is such a whiny bitch.

It’s a strange thing to call a show, I know, but we’re still trying to figure out this whole numbering scheme. Since we’ve been watching a lot of Scrubs lately and Freak’s a big Friends whore he had the idea to free associate the title. If you can bring yourself to listen it will become clearer, trust me.

This episode includes:

Disneyland.
Wheels for the truck.
Talking about doing interviews.
Freak’s buddy the call-girl dispatcher.
Prostitute trading cards and hooker ads.
Prop 215: weed by prescription! California rocks!
Tweakazz in da hood.
We are so sober. Sorry.
Wood’s going to 300. Freak has to see Zodiac (HA ha.)
Back to weed.
Remember: always put in a doggie door so you can break in when you get evicted.
Grandpa Ken’s poor little car.
Voyeurism in the garage.
TV talk this week: Heroes, Lost, Alias, 90201 (wtf?)
The Grateful Dead traveling open-air drug and grilled cheese market.
How to smoke weed when you got to round up the shopping carts.
Dude’s not gay until you catch him smoking a pole.
UFC: Coture kicks Silvia’s seven foot tall doughy ass.
Wrap up and we’re out!

And some other stuff I probably didn’t get in the show notes because Freak was blasting the stereo while I was trying to play back. And BBG came home and decided to flirt with me, which never helps. It’s embarrassing how much that woman wants me.

FYI, we’re now using

No, really! Check it out!

Looks like the stars finally aligned, schedules finally synced up and yours truly finally got off their lazy asses to put another one in the can for you good folks. We do have to plead just a little bit of laziness with this one, though. What you’re getting is the realization of a long held desire to do a sound-seeing tour of one of the hottest joints in town, The Palms.

Our tour starts out in the casino as we meet McGyver (aka Raven 7), an old buddy who gives us an all access tour of rooms that you’ll never see (and if you do, drop us a line because we want to know you, perhaps even in the biblical sense).

So sit back, relax and enjoy an hour of Wood and Freak kickin’ it interior design fag style. If you listen closely you might even catch one or the other of us getting outed with (gasp) real names.

We’re serious about coming back in a big way, so if you don’t want to miss a bit of the fun you can subscribe with anything that parses RSS with enclosures by clicking the links to subscribe either with your feed reader or in iTunes. As always you can download the show via the enclosure link below.

P.S. Just to let you all know, I’ve been working on this since yesterday morning. Posting the podcast, that is. For some reason Blogware simply refused to accept my post, no matter what I did, until it was damned good and ready to accept it. Sharp-eyed readers will notice some changes to the contact/subscribe portion of the right sidebar. I know it looks a bit wonky but Firefox, for some odd reason, absolutely refuses to show the custom badges for the RSS, email, and iTunes links. Safari shows ‘em just fine. After fucking with it almost all day I finally just made two links for each: a badge and a text link. I hate html.

Told you we weren’t dead. Show’s on the dull side, though, got to warn you. It’s old school tonight just me and Freak, no BBG. She does call in, though. She had mom stuff to do. When I say old school, I ain’t kidding. There’s been a lot of behind the scenes changes and there’s likely going to be more, so don’t get comfortable.
