Listen to it. A theme is starting: classic TV theme songs to use for our opening. Next week: Flintstones? I Love Lucy? Jay’s directorial debut: Jordan Frye’s music video for Holiday. We’ve come to a realization; we’re not productive enough to use productivity tools. James’ amateur sci-fi writing. Jay’s glowing review of Angelology: like Dan [...]

The technological debacle

Listen to it. A show in the academic sense. Where to start? Jay is absent, James forgot his laptop and attempts multiple devices for recording/Skype, all of which fail miserably. But when it comes down to it, Josh’s internet connection is the true culprit. At least that’s what I’m sticking with. Our music is extra [...]

Listen to it. View the chess game. Jay brings back the ripped-off opening. We have poor grammar so you don’t have to. Said the gramophone is kind of a weird music blog. Good music, gross elephant death pictures. Leads to Jay’s story about navy-assassinated beached whales; perhaps the first use of the word bejesus in [...]

We know it can’t have been easy to go without your favorite podcast in the history of podcasting, the internet, and the universe in general for four years. It must have seemed like an eternity. But we have returned with a new show! See you in another four years! Just kidding. Maybe. Listen to it. [...]

It’s been too long. We aplogize for the pain we have caused; the heartache and distress of missing so dear a friend as the Ruy Lopez show. Hopefully we can ease your pain briefly with a new show. Listen to it. Songs: J. Tillman, My Waking Days: Lenlow, Kanye Mahna: I Am Robot and Proud, [...]

Another podcast? So soon? Not only that, but we have an extended conversation about pooping in public. Everybody wins. More engrossing description upcoming. For now: Listen to it. Songs: Andrew Bird, A Nervous Tic Motion of the Head to the Left: Beck, Halo of Gold: The Dust Dive, I’d Rather Not Know: East River Pipe, [...]

Less lost than the previous

We had a podcast two weeks ago or so (really, we promise) but it was lost in the technological jungle that is my laptop. It was savagely attacked by static and wild beasts and is lost forever. We will miss it, but it is easily replaced. Listen to it. Our month-long vacation was unplanned. A [...]

Is that copyright infringement? Maybe. But we’re just so excited to be back that we thought a little infringement would add to the excitement. And we have a new guest co-host, Josh. James’ crappy microphone is to blame for the omnipresent quality of Josh’s voice. Listen to it. This week’s topics: What’s more than two [...]

I’ve come to find out that I’m really really dull. James is awol (absent with leave), but Jay slogs on without him. Listen to it. This week’s topics: Jay talks about not having James, but he’s in the mood to spin some mp3s. Jay distances himself from the dorky dj; talks about how a lot [...]

we’re back, baby!

After our however many week long hiatus, we’re back. You’d think we’d have been preparing for this. Listen to it. Review the game. This week’s topics: Grayson’s intro: far better than anything Jay or James could have done? At least it’s cuter. The Grayson joke is also back after a lengthy hiatus and with surprising, [...]
