Show 8: Just the Two of Us
Posted by Chris | Filed under Apple, Current Events, Design, Entertainment, iPhone, iPod, Random, Technology
Intro: Our unofficial Indiana Jones review (or un-review) and why Chris refuses to see it (hint: it has to do with Harrison Ford being old). Plus, EJ thinks Harrison has some big guns.
“I’m in the industry…”
What if gas hits $10 a burrito… I mean gallon? Excuse me. MSN Money asks the question, “What if gas cost $10 a gallon?” And then proceeds to answer it.
By the way, there are 3.78541178 liters per 1 US gallon.
Conspiracy theorists unite! Is there a superficial supply and demand to gasoline prices? Are people not going to be able to go to work? Who will make our McDonald’s hamburgers and McNuggets? Who will charge us when we forget to return our library books? Will minimum wage be raised? How will the Lumbergh’s of the world be satisfied when they can’t bother you about your TPS report covers? How many times can we say “twelve million dollars”?
Our predicament is caused by the Chinese. They are doing to us what we did to the Europeans when Americans started driving. By the way, I have ALL the information to back this up.
“So, we’re on this kick of iPhone killers. Two of them are spittin’ images…”
We talk about 3 potential iPhone killers (Dave, you’re phone’s days are numbered).
Wait, how did that get in there?
“How to dismantle your Timebomb.”
How to take apart your iPod, void your warranty and give your wife an excuse for you to get a new one. Talk about killing 3 birds with one stone.
Ever want to see how big 20 or 30 business cards are? Open up your iPod and take out the hard drive.
“The Power is where the people are.”
Indie labels combine to form a “virtual fifth major.” And it’s follow-up.
It’s amazing how we seamlessly flow from this to the reason TV shows are actually on TV (hint: it’s to shove crap down EJ’s throat). And all actors are dancing monkeys.
“Want a TiVo?”
“Yeah.”
“What kind?”
“Dr. Pepper.”
Next? Chris’s plug for Snapstream’s Beyond TV and EJ’s plug for PlayStation 3.
“I wouldn’t say he was a rabid fan like you, me and P.O.D.”

Very, very special show: the one and only Al Green is here!!! But first, the monologue…
Have you ever been upset at someone because they wrote a demeaning article about one of your players in a semi-major newspaper? Take the Mike Gundy Anger Management program! First, let’s see what provokes him. Now let’s see the proper way to handle it. Very good, Mike. Very good.
And now, our special guest:
“Well good!”
Yes, thank you Mr. Green, you may sit down now.
And now our special secti… What is it Mr. Green? Listen, I know Chuck Norris is scary, but you’re a legend. Okay, okay, you may go to the bathroom while we read these random facts about the gay Jack Bauer.
Yes, Chuck Norris will even kill your dog.
“I’m just trying to keep my hip from hoppin’”
Glad you’re back Mr. Green. Take a seat we were just about to talk about you again.
