Podcast: Angry Edition

Do you like your podcasts with lots of arguing? Let's hope so because Shanker and I dropped the gloves and had at it this week. Long story short, Shanker doesn't like it when you're rubbing in his team's poor performance by saying "it's over" throughout the game. Payback's a b**ch though, because I had to listen to him whine about it for the duration of the podcast. You'll notice this week's podcast is short--that's because I would have jumped out the window if the subject came up again. I even cut about ten minutes of the arguing out. Sheesh. Remind me to not invite Shanker over next year so he can watch the game in standard-def in his basement.

When we weren't arguing we talked about: the Super Bowl, running into the holder, Brenda Warner's hotness, the top 5 games of 2008, Kobe's destruction of Bynum's knee, Aaron's favorite premiere league team, yet another crushing loss for Shanker at Tecmo Bowl, and what NFL team we'd want to control if our lives depended on our success.

As always, thanks for listening, and we'll see you next Tuesday! We'll do better next week.

New Podcast: It's Miller Time

You asked for Jon Miller and this week you get Jon Miller. And Shanker too, but don't focus on the negative. What did we talk about this week? Pretty much everything. Here's just some of the stuff we touched on: Shanker's drug binge, Jon's girly shopping trips, MLB 2K9, racist sports commentary, Madden layoffs, Jon's hatred of Kobe, 24, Lost, Shanker's thoughts on the portrayal of India in Slumdog Millionaire, Kurt Warner, Aaron's new Twitter account (Aaron_Thomas) and more.

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's...a podcast!

I promised you a podcast today, and for once I've delivered. Despite being in tremendous pain from his hurt little toothy-woothy, Shanker gutted it out and turned in a top-notch podcast performance. But don't just take my word for it, listen to the show to hear us talk about Kurt Warner's legacy, President Obama on Xbox Live, big-headed hockey, Kobe vs. LeBron, our most-hated players, why Aaron thinks GTA IV is overrated, and Gran Torino.

Another Podcast!

Shanker got off his lazy butt and drove down to scenic Daly City, California to do another podcast. It's a post-Christmas miracle! We talk about evil dentists, fired coaches, discounted video games, Kobe Bryant (shocker), bums that cost Shanker money, why Aaron can't get a job in India, and we catch up with Crazy Bears Fan Josh to see how those "Rex Grossman and Brandon Lloyd are gonna make the Pro Bowl" predictions went.

Podcast?

Let's face it: Shanker stinks. You know it and I know it. It's because Shanker stinks that there's only kind-of-sorta a podcast this week. Basically it's me calling Shanker on the phone and making him tell you, the listener why he won't leave his house to do a podcast. I figured it would only be 30 seconds long, but he has a solid five minutes of excuses, which you can check out at AaronT.com. Be sure to email Shanker and let him know what you think about his weaksauce attitude towards podcasting!

Update- He swears he'll grace us with his presence next week, so be sure to check back on the 29th for a mega-sized podast. I'm going to make him earn his $0 this week!

Bonus Update! File is named properly now, so you can go wild downloading Shanker's excuses.

Podcast!

Contrary to published reports, Aaron Thomas and Shanker Srinivasin aren't dead. Don't believe me? Head on over to AaronT.com and listen to their all-new podcast! You see? Dead people can't podcast!

Stuck in an airport? No problem!

I was flying back from my vacation yesterday (it was great, thanks for asking) and had a long layover in the Denver airport. It wasn't supposed to be a long layover, but thanks to bad weather on the east coast, it ended up being pretty lengthy. Now, usually airport delays stink, but a few extra hours in Denver doesn't have to be a bad thing thanks to the numerous Zoox stations spread across the terminals.

What is Zoox? Yep, that was my question, too. It's a PC rig with a 23" widescreen monitor, gaming mouse, headphones, and controller that lets you kill time playing games like World of Warcraft, Team Fortress 2, Portal, Battlefield 2, Halo and more for 25 cents a minute (you can also browse the Internet for 10 cents a minute). That might seem like a hefty price, but it pummels sitting on the floor next to a bathroom while reading the business section from a newspaper that you found on the ground next to a trashcan.

I didn't spend any quality time playing on a Zoox machine (I had a nice dinner with my girlfriend), but the kiosks seemed busy and the folks who were grinding away in WoW seemed completely oblivious to the fact that they were surrounded by harried travelers and screaming babies. If that's not worth 25 cents a minute, I don't know what is.
