Episode 10. The comeback.
January 16th, 2009
It’s been a good 6 months, and a lot has changed.
- (2:00) Mark and I went to Vegas just before I moved. Drinking. Gambling. Avoiding death threats. What happens in Vegas… yada-yada-yada. Some things stay the same.
- (6:20) Chroizo and eggs! We ate a HUGE breakfast at the Hash House A Go Go. I don’t know about that name, but they serve some big meals. Go there next time you head out!
- (6:57) The social grenade: a friend you bring along, in order to be used as insurance in case a social situation goes awry. Basically, if the night goes bad, you bust his balls for being a douchebag in front of everyone. Makes for a few laughs - and no one thinks you’re the one actually fucking things up. Also known as Good Cop/Bad Cop.
- (9:05) NFL playoffs: every single team I’ve picked to move on has lost. That’s pretty hard to do, I should be impressed. Right? (Better luck next year, Falcons)
- (11:05) We almost let it slip through the cracks, but did you know Las Vegas is also the home of the Pinball Hall of Fame? The site shows an impressive list of games as well as directions. As well as horrible website design.
- (18:36) We rant a bit on white people and paintball. Meanwhile, Paul shares his expertise as “The Jane Goodall of White People.”
- (23:25) Basically stalling until Mark gets back… I try to discuss how to gamble on the NFL Playoffs just like you would March Madness. Sans visual aids. Don’t worry - I’m listening to the show right now… and I don’t get it either.
- (25:38) Hey Paul, since you like whiteboards and diagrams so much, I thought you’d appreciate this. Props to Mark for showing me this site!
- (29:00) Paul’s review/advertisement of Left 4 Dead.
- (40:30) The Professional Fat Kid is now on Yelp!
- (48:55) Quick hits on food: The Stinking Rose, Father’s Office, and Yard House.
- (53:05) Quick hits on movies: The Spirit Eva Mendes, Kung Fu Panda, and Gran Turino.
- (1:01:30) Twi-hards, STFU! Meanwhile, the stars of The Prestige have more work: New Wolverine and Terminator movies… what?!?!?!
Enjoy the episode. More to come in 2009, no doubt!
