Blog posts where things take a turn for the unawesome: (EDIT: check out the episode 6 link!)

Oh man summer is upon us! To fully understand my love of summer is to fully understand the unblinking eye of madness... and I so just edited a Dinosaur Comics quote there. Only real difference is that T-rex was talking about strawberries and was somewhat more hesitant with his response. I think the point still stands though: summer (and strawberries) = awesome and that's not even getting into the awesomeness of Dinosaur Comics by Ryan North, we saved that for the show. I once again feel like I owe Zach Miller money but I can't help it, things are just that awesome today.

Which I guess brings us to the topic of the show. We are in fact still alive over here, things have just been a little hectic what with exams and y'know...video games. Episode 6 has actually been recorded and ready for almost a week now but Mike's got some technical difficulties with his computer breaking down on him. I suppose I could upload the new episode myself but someone hasn't told me where our Internet Archive account is. At least that's how I assume that site works but whatev. You guys have got some Dinosaur Comic archives to read through in the mean time! Plus the UWA show is tonight (check the links for details) and the card looks stacked. I expect to see every able-bodied one of you guys down there.

Also might I add how great it is how so much of my blog posts are written like I am directly talking to people... people who probably don't exist. That came off way more sad and somewhat creepy then I intended...shit.

Your shortcomings and regrets, personified,
Gene

Hark! Episode 6 has finally been uploaded. It is quite possibly the best one to date. We cover the usual and the unusual! Sorry for the delay :(

Stay Strong,

Even At Our Worst We're Still Better Than Most

I think I should start this post off with stating that I am currently down at the Francis abode watching Power Rangers Zeo. "Who's afraid of the big bad wolf" says Tommy... what a weirdo. Now that that's all taken care of:

I don't know who has been lazier the last week or so, us or all of you. The web traffic has been embarrassing...hehe embarrASSing, I wonder if that's a typo. Woah, Power Rangers bloopers! Shit what was I talking about? Uhhh, I'll let Mike take over. Unless of course Francis is up for some feeding of the blog dogs :)

Off to hand out hugs not drugs,
Gene

You know, you could've mentioned something about the lack of an episode this week. Well, let me offer the simplest explanation: the lack of progress over the past week made me think, why record more episodes if no one is really listening? To those who have been actively listening, you will unfortunately have to suffer until we solve our publicity issues. No worries, with summer just around the corner the episodes will flow forever and for eternity and I'm sure business will be booming soon enough, this deadlock is only a minor set back.

Now that business has been settled, let's move onto more pressing issues, those being...uhh, I'll be honest, things are lame, very lame. I have been listening to Penn Radio recently though, it's a badass program. If you like the Gene and Mike Show, you'll love Penn Radio! Rest assured, if anything interesting happens, I'll be sure to inform you all.

Laughing at danger and breaking all the rules,
Mike

I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!

Hark!

Episode 5 of the world-renowned (arguable) Gene and Mike Show has been successfully uploaded! Run into the streets and proclaim our victory over adversity, tell your neighbors, call all your old friends, mention it to your family at the dinner table, send letters, alert the internet, damnit! Half an hour of podcast goodness awaits you. Now that the next thirty minutes of your lives are planned, what will I be doing you ask? Friends, it's quite obvious, I will be retiring to the Francis estate in order to enjoy The Master of the Flying Guillotine. Granted, I've seen the movie before, but it's just that damn good. I suggest you check it out some time.

Well, no need to drag on. Here it is, enjoy. I have business to attend to (not really) so I'll take my leave.

Till next time,
Mike

You look like I need a drink

Fuck.

Recorded the fifth installment of The Gene and Mike Show today... of course you'll never get to hear it. In fact no one will ever get to hear it because someone's laptop(Francis') decided to tard out on us right after our half hour extraveganza of an episode was finished. All that had to be done was click save. Oh it had everything too, from a celebrity guest appearance to plenty of grim and frostbitten metal talk. I should really start convincing myself that episode was shit now because it is gone...yet those 30 minutes I will never get back. Looks like we're going to have to recreate the magic all over again and then some because plans are to try this again in the morning(who am I kidding, afternoon).

Sure its been some two weeks since our last episode but we got nothing to show after this setback just yet. In a sign of forgiveness, however, I'll leave you with this. You guys do remember Immortal right? ;)

Off to watch the replay of The Brak Show since it was so damn funny,
Gene
