Anonymous asked: So uh... last night I had a dream that I had you and Andrew's babies. One of each by self-administered artificial insemination (sadly). Your kid was older by a year and I named him Robbie. Andrew's kid was named his middle name, but I don't know what that is so I didn't actually ever call him by name. They were like 3 and 4 and SO ADORABLE!

Before they rocked NSFWshow...
Here is Jake Goldman (lead singer) and Daniel Luddy (drummer) of Otsego in a very silly video. It also features the comedic stylings of Dan Lief, who went on to a successful run as the titular roll in the Off Broadway production of Abe Lincoln Jr.: Teen Detective and Jessica Stickles who works at your local DMV. All of them.

What a promo. Just obscure and unhinged enough to seem real. In character enough to carry over. If you don’t care about wrestling, do me a favor and listen to the crowd. They hate him at the beginning, are silenced in the middle then are mixed by the end.
CM Punk is my favorite wrestler.
TWiT
I got the chance to do TWiT today. I was pretty nervous. I thought I did well.
It’s not a unique story, but I’ll tell it anyway. When I first started thinking about podcasting on a regular basis This Week in Tech was the show I listened to as a reference guide for… well… what a podcast should sound like. Leo’s effortless delivery and ability to poke a compelling...

Dick Ebersol Resigns From NBC
Dick Ebersol is a very important dude. Dick Ebersol resigned from NBC. This is big news.
Short list of things Ebersol helped shape: NBC late night including but not limited to Saturday Night Live (specifically the years Lorne Michaels would like to erase from history, i.e. the years he left and the show survived. Ever wonder why Eddie Murphy never makes appearances on SNL like other mega-famous...
A Brief Love Letter To Friday Night Lights
I am currently catching up with the final season of Friday Night Lights. For those unaware it’s an hour-long drama focusing on a Texas high school football coach.
So much has been written about the show by television critics far more talented than I, so I would defer to them in terms of categorizing the show’s brilliance.
There is this:

A Song Of Boobs & Wieners
I am very much enjoying the new HBO series A Game Of Thrones. After a workmanlike prologue of a pilot where all of our players were lovingly introduced and given mini-character workouts to demonstrate their calibration, tonight we were treated to a simmering second episode filled with foreboding skirmishes.
It’s so awesome that I am actually watching an HBO series as it airs for the first...

The fact that Damon Lindelof (showrunner and co-creative engine behind LOST):
- Defending his show against an author he loves
- Still defending his love for the author’s work
- Dissecting his complicated feelings for ending of LOST and the ensuing reaction
Is so insanely awesome, it really deserves more attention.

If you want to have any idea of what this post is about, please listen to the most recent episode of NSFWshow. We held our second annual Summer Movie Fantasy League Draft where we sold all the movies off auction style. You can see the results here.
Let’s say that Thor splits the difference between The Incredible Hulk ($150 million) and Iron Man ($300 million) at $225 million.

From my good friend “Hurricane” Dana Moran in Red Eye Chicago:
Let’s be honest: I loved college. You loved college. We all loved college. When I heard that “I Love College” song, I was all like, “Maaan, why wasn’t this around when I was in college?”
Dana and I went to college together. I can independently confirm she loved the shit out of college....

Why Debate When You Can Tweet?
The New York Times takes a look at the fate of the first GOP debate set for May 2nd which may result in a back and forth where the biggest names (read: Palin, Romney, Huckabee) could be conspicuous by their absence.

Heath Ledger Would Be Proud
Two of the biggest big mouths in the National Football League are wide receivers Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco. When Owens joined Ochocinco’s Cincinnati Bengals team as a free agent in the off season, the two christened themselves Batman and Robin.
This week they played the Buffalo Bills. The best receiver on that team is named Steve Johnson.
Bengals took a commanding lead in...
