Meh. It's a low-energy kinda day. But we gotta make some pods. You're welcome and we're sorry. We've got an update on the errant tuna can that magically rolled behind our stove. We recount the story of when we rescued and released a wild bat. We played a sound clip from a recent episode that proves we're time travelers. Or that the concept of decades really confuses us. Hear the exciting story of our new blender! Our listeners attempted to rescue us from the desert island we've been trapped on by sending in some hilarious feedback. We cover a story about a local woman who tried to get friendly with a giraffe and more! It ain't gonna work today: Gas mains. We got 'em. And ours isn't a standard one. Don't use a claw tool to grab a live bat. Precautions. You don't always need them. During a past episode, we seriously confused 1995 with 2005 and 1996 with 2006. I'm not a blender expert (blendxpert) but if you wanna make a smoothie, try the "icy drinks" button. We read some listener feedback from Matt, Ken and Ben. Nathan contacted his local library to see if they know anything about Pepe Goes North. Also, this Electric Man and Undervolt cartoon:  WordPress spam filters are either really good or not good at all. Hear us as part of Erk Pod episodes 500 and 501. Leave us an iTunes review? A woman was cited for zoo animal harassment because she wanted to hug a giraffe. The giraffe had other ideas. Some crazy lady in Alaska thinks eagles are friends with her cats. Also, a fox. Warrior Deck. My new metal band name. Jen's Women in Podcasting interview series is taking off. She's recently published the first audio interview in the series.

On a scale of Scott Weiland to Jim Morrison, how stoned is Jen during this podcast? Find out as we talk about Jen's adventures in applying for Social Security disability benefits. She saw a doctor last Sunday for an evaluation. The doctor was German. And apparently, very nice! In related news: Jen is sick. All. The Time. (You probably already know that if you've listened to the show before.) Jen is now a contributor to Podcaster News. She made an intro video and together, we produced the first episode of the new Podcaster News Show. We read some listener feedback that confirms the existence of the book Pepe Goes North but the mystery of the book's disappearance from history continues. We're stuck on a lonely desert island thanks to the lack of iTunes reviews and other listener interactions. Jen read a questionably-worded spam e-mail she received for a website she doesn't run. And more! The top left of Google: Jen is sick. Did we mention that already? Some friends recommended Jen should file for disability benefits. Because she's always sick. If you have a disability evaluation on a Sunday, that's normal. Some appointments have multiple levels of confirmation including phone calls and letters in the mail. Z-Pak, that's for when you're really sick. Aspiration tests aren't what they used to be. So many things can kill you when you're Jen. You're guilty until proven innocent when it comes to government benefits. Jen's now contributing to Podcaster News. Links above. An errant tuna can rolled behind our stove. It's now impossible to retrieve. The mystery of Pepe Goes North continues. No, it's not Pen Goes North or Pepe Goes To Alaska. There's no Internet on a desert island. Jen's continuing search for strangely-written things brings us a questionable e-mail proposal.

We're Starbuckin' it! Live with hula girls and balloon animals! Not really. We had a conversation about how maybe it's not so good that we're married to each other because sickness, disabilities, etc. But it's likely that normals wouldn't put up with either one of us for long so maybe it's all worked out for the best. We're really killing it in terms of money. We're doing so well that Jen actually qualifies for Medi-Cal! We've got bus-riding refugee kids on the Sweet Pickles Bus. Not really. We recounted the coincidences in which we might've met earlier in life (but didn't). We read some listener comments. Jen's got another unintentionally funny post from Bubblews. And more! More details: San Luis Obispo. Cool kids call(ed) it "SLO Town." Between the two of us, we're almost one functional human being. Do they have Starbucks in prison? We're so old and broken. We're both receiving government-sponsored health insurance. I was gonna go to Columbia College. Jen was, too. Then, we didn't. Jen worked at Santa's Village at the same time my sister worked there. I said I was at the radio station from 2005-2006 but it was actually 1995-1996. Jen's mom always wanted to go to Spring Hill Mall. I was gonna take driver's ed class but my dad didn't want to pay for it. My sister drove to the mall once before she had her drivers license. If Jen and I had met years before we actually met because we were both already in lousy relationships. Refugee-blanket kids are OK to ride the public bus. Kids from the summer program (or whatever) should ride the Sweet Pickles Bus. I remembered a kids book called Pepe Goes North. This book has disappeared from history. I made some of the steak burgies that we mentioned in the previous episode. They were pretty good. We lost our voicemail number so don't call it. I've been making some progress with an app called BoinxTV. Coming soon: video 'casts! I'm considering moving the studio around again to more easily accommodate video production. We read some comments from recent episodes. We talked about pinball machines including one I remembered that would go, "The storm is coming. Return to your home!" Jen read an unintentionally funny post from Bubblews.

We've still got "leftover" stories from our Las Vegas trip, including mean people on airplanes. Flight attendants with special airplane-healing powers and crazy coffee-drink customers. We received an odd solicitation in the mail from the 'California Compliance Center?" Pretty sure that's not legit. We'll be eating well in August thanks to a gift card we got last year but didn't redeem until now. Tho, it was unclear at first if the gift card was still valid. Jen read a post from the site Bubblews that was hilarious, but it probably wasn't meant to be. And more! Make me got the famous: It's humid here but we're still having a drought in California. We'd love your iTunes reviews! You can do that thru the iOS Podcasts app or desktop iTunes. A guy on our flight to Las Vegas was a bit of a jerk. All airplanes need licensed and approved qi-checkers. Some people have l33t skillz when it comes to ordering Starbucks drinks. Some Starbucks stores are corporate, some are licensed. Check out our support page if you'd like to donate money or send us things in the mail! Upon checking our post office box, I found a solicitation for a "California Certificate of Status." Turns out it's a scam. New segment? "Jen's Corner Of Justice!" Erk gave us a gift card last year for Omaha Steaks. We finally redeemed it this week. We read some listener feedback. I demonstrated our noise gate as well as our other audio processor. Jen has been writing for Bubblews. She found a post over there that's funny but the author probably didn't intend it to be.

Last week, we celebrated our 10-year wedding anniversary by visiting Las Vegas. We stayed at a hotel shaped like a pyramid! Jen had a piece of gluten-free carrot cake! Jen had lots of drinks! We hit it big at the blackjack table! (And by "blackjack table," we really mean the $0.25 electronic blackjack machine.) Annoying salespeople! Lunch with Diablo! Big lights! Elvis Electric! Awkward selfies! More! And more! Shiny, shiny details: "Las Vegas" is technically unincorporated? Jen's cell phone does weird things to our recordings. It's really important to get to the airport two hours before a flight. Not really. Santa Maria Airport = stuck in the 80's. The TSA took my face wash. Also, it was stupid of me to bring it. Amtrak = no TSA. Vending machine coffee. Always the best. Boarding thru the aft hatch of a plane is sorta like climbing into a spaceship. The Las Vegas airport is bigger than our local airports. You have to go thru several buildings to catch a taxi at the Las Vegas airport. Some Las Vegas cabs show weird "advertainment" videos on infinite loops. Las Vegas. They just wanna get all your money before you leave. Annoying salespeople inside casinos look like official security staff. They'll just put a piano guy there while you're waiting in line because, Vegas. Inclinators. They ain't elevators. We stayed at Motel 6 the first time we went to Vegas. Las Vegas buffets = insane. Jen always needs naps. The Luxor has wifi but only on the first floor. It's not good to turn off air conditioners in Las Vegas. Don't walk across streets in Las Vegas unless you want to die. Jen got her picture taken with Elvis Electric. There are three Starbucks shops inside the Luxor. Alcohol to go? No problem in Vegas! Gluten-free pizza, french fries and wine. Happy Anniversary to us! Slot machines aren't fun. Jen makes gamblers mad. Walking around the Luxor is like running thru Ironforge. We turned $5.00 into $7.00 by playing electronic Blackjack. Boarding-pass apps for airports actually work. Some people on airplanes are weird. Our airplane broke as we were flying back to California but it wasn't serious. Jen is running a crowd funding experiment via Beacon. Please support the project if you'd like to learn more about Common Core. Jen is also contributing to Bubblews.

We're not live but we're also not dead. We're un-live and we're preparing for an exciting trip to Las Vegas! But we decided to make a pod before we leave. Tech problems, we got 'em (again). Apple's conspiracy against us continues! We have now soundproofed our closet so we can use it as a vocal booth. We recently celebrated my birthday, which included a nice dinner and airplanes. We responded to some listener comments. Jen wants to see shipping containers and pretty lights in Vegas. I want to go to the mob museum. Nobody wants to see Carrot Top or Criss Angel: Mindfreak. #BuyJenADrink: New segment idea: What's wrong with Jen today. I'm obsessed with the audio levels now, thanks to a comment we received. We hung some Audimute blankets in our closet to make a soundproof booth:. I'm worried that the vocal booth may be too warm inside but Jen's always cold so it might be OK. Apple has broken Apple Mail again. Also, Apple SuperDrives suck. Our internet connection is slow and computers can be bandwidth hogs. According to Nathan, it is possible to leave an iTunes review thru the iOS Podcasts app. We've finished watching "Orange Is The New Black" season two. Nathan pointed out that most of what's in the TV show didn't come from the book. A comment we received lead to another discussion on cars and potential cars we might own in the future. Jen made this amazing piece of art as a birthday gift for me:  I got a lot of birthday greetings online and Tiggr sent me a Starbucks card. We had a nice birthday dinner at the Spirit of San Luis Restaurant. We played Diablo III using characters that hadn't played together before.  Hear more Diablo talk on Shattered Soulstone. You can donate to the show a few different ways, now including Bitcoin! A list Jen made on the No Market site was picked up by ThinkProgress.

Man, we're getting old. Don't believe us? Just listen to this pod! We spent a lot of time talking about toothbrushes and shopping coupons. Still don't believe us? We also talked about new bedroom curtains! Some of this old-person talk is relative to the new business we're launching, but some of it's just because we're old. Last week was Independence Day here in 'Merica. We've got some explosive news related to that, as well as an analysis of the country's favorite 4th of July jams. Also, we read some iTunes reviews and go over a little bit of other listener feedback. And MmmPasta Syndrome. More details: Our new business venture: A hydra with multiple, specialized heads. It's hard recording audio when everything outside is noisy. Jen has the gift of sleepy boos. I don't. TWiT shows are good for falling asleep to. We ordered some blackout curtains. I'm skeptical about online reviews. Our air conditioner now looks like it's wearing a bonnet. We have a big box in our living room. It's been there a long time. CVS gives you enough coupons to wear them as a sash. My toothbrush was growing a mold colony. Jen doesn't do "traditional scrapbooking." Jen knows a lot about coupons. Realty TV might not be real? Important decisions about toothbrush colors are made. Custom toothbrushes: A million-dollar business idea. Jen was one of 1.5 babillion podcasters interviewed on Realm Maintenance episode 100. We read a comment from Nathaniel and read some iTunes reviews. The birth of a show. That's when you make pod babies. In honor of 'Merica's birthday, we read an article about a guy who lost his hands when some fireworks exploded while he was holding the fireworks. We also looked at a list of our country's favorite 4th of July songs. Check out our new Support page if you'd like to #BuyJenADrink next week in Las Vegas.

Hyper Nonsense! We are the pod that comes to you straight from the heart of California. San Luis Obispo (Sanluiton) to be exact. On this exciting episode, we talk about how The Man is sticking it to us for starting our own business. I had a cool "customer service" experience on behalf of a local musician. We talked about "binge-watching" of TV shows and why we don't do it. We honored the mystical land of Canadia with a special performance of O, Canadia. We wonder how it'd be possible for Hyper Nonsense to become the first podcast on Mars. Ceiling-breaking cupcake-eating bears, we got 'em. The most annoying phrases that we're all overusing? We got those, too. #blessed: Cornbread: Ain't nothing wrong with that. We've recorded four episodes in four weeks. Congratulate us! I don't consider myself unemployed. I consider myself pre-retired. I have a Starbucks gold card but no retirement fund. Priorities! We now have an officially filed LLC and an $800 bill from the state of California. I want to create my own tax-free buffer zone to live in. If you declare yourself as someone's son via Twitter, is it a binding contract? Hyper Nonsense: Fast-forwardable since 2006. I bought the new album by Jody Mulgrew and then explained how it was delivered. Nathaniel Lott sent in a magnatiel drawing based on something that was said in a previous episode. In honor of Canadia Day, I sang the Canadian National Anthem. Hyper Nonsense: First pod on Mars? We read some listener feedback and played our first voicemail. We're watching "Orange Is The New Black" but not in a bingey way. DVD sets of TV series >> VHS sets of TV series. Matt is unbeatable at Words With Friends. (AKA: I'm North Korea.) Jen found a story about a bear that fell thru a skylight and ate cupcakes before it was killed. We finished the show with a list of six commonly used phrases that are annoying.
