Hello. Welcome Back.

We decided to skip episode two.

Instead, here’s our third episode, “Hello. Welcome Back.”

It is completely different than our last episode, and yet, eerily familiar to those who listened last time, too.

In our third episode, Morty & Austin continue to address the kinds of things that they know and love.  Like:  Welcome To Night Vale, Eddsworld, & Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

I know that question mark at the end of the sentence above is confusing.  But trust us.  As you listen to this show, you will fin your confusion in good company.

Thank you.

Hello.  Welcome Back.

Part I: That’s How You Get A Podcast Started

In this, our third episode, we begin in our usually confused manner, and introduce our new segment AFTER it has finished.  This new segment is where we address things from The Past, and it is called:

The Way Back Machine:

First, we want to give a shout out to our friend Markus, who shared this screen shot from his phone to show that he was downloading our first episode over two weeks ago.  (In the evening, his time.)  I’m glad to find that Markus had no trouble listening to us on his German iPhone, but I worry about his battery life, and if he will have enough power to finish listening to our show.  Only time will tell.

We then offer a rundown of the various ways you can now contact us, some of which is entirely new.  Our WordPress Blog is now the central hub for all things unnamed, but you can still message us on our Facebook Page, too.

You can find Austin on his blog, which he is contractually obligated to mention once every time he opens his mouth.  He also volunteers at KMUZ in Salem, OR, and appears almost every week on the program Geekly Update, available as a podcast or live on Sundays at 2 PM.  In fact, Morty was on an episode of Geekly Update, and that is sort of Morty’s origin story.  Morty also has a blog, but is not allowing anyone to read it at this time.

We are also urging listeners to send in a, “So,” or “Actually,” with regards to content on the show.  We welcome your feedback, and will feature it on the program.  Just hit us up on Facebook.

It appears that, since no one wrote in to correct us about the name of the owner of the Barrelhaven in Bone, he is now forever named Casey.  It also appears I was wrong about Steven Universe, and Season Three has started.  Get on it!

People wanted to know if Morty’s tongue okay, and we get a full report in this episode, along with a segment where we drink water at our listeners, again.  (Carbonated for Austin, regular for Morty.)  Listeners were also curious if Morty had recieved a copy of Dan’s cover album (Ninja Sex Party‘s “Under the Covers,” and also asked about when we’ll have our Dragon Show, and we address both of these concerns.   We also suggest that at some point we should do an Incredibles show.

Our first topic this week is Welcome To Night Vale.  Both Austin & Morty are big fans of this show. We discuss the concept, the host Cecil Gershwin Palmer (played by Cecil Baldwin), the writer’s Joseph Fink & Jeffrey Carnor.  There is a Book that we recommend, too.  Suddenly, Morty suffers from a back cramp, and Austin asks the Internet to Google “A Series of Unfortunate Events,” to see if we can use it for Morty’s biography.  The Weather is a big part of the show, and we recommend you check out artists like Jason Webly and the other’s from this complete list of episodes and artists that have appeared in The Weather segment.  John Bernstein is the artist Disparition, who does all the music for the program, but the show has great sound and great guests, including Wil Wheaton and The Cast of The Thrilling Adventure Hour.  (And, yes, Austin was right: Hal Lublin is a regular on the show, as the character Steve Carlsberg.)  Morty’s favorite characters are Old Woman Josie & Dana, and in particular loved Episode 30 (Titled: Dana).  Austin’s favorite character is Perfect Carlos, and his favorite episode is the two-part Episode 19 (Titled: The Sandstorm Part A & Part B). .  We’re a little concerns about Morty’s female double, but we do recommend that you Catch Up On Night Vale, and support them, as they do good work.

Part II: Am I Funny?

We like to talk about YouTube Channels we like, but if you have a favorite video you’d like us to watch, please send us the clip and we will watch it.  But Morty might make fun of you if it is as dumb as the Battlekid video on Gamegrumps.  (Really?)

This week, Morty recommends Eddsworld.  While this particular channel doesn’t have any new content, every year on March 25th, fan’s celebrate the life of the channel’s creator – Edd Gould – on Edds Day, where fans gather and watch / discuss Eddsworld animations, and in general, act like nerds.  The show is pretty cool, and Morty gives it a thumbs up, except for the ones with Tord in them.  We’ve decided we’ll be celebrating Edds Day next year, so put it on your calendars.

Austin recommends the NASA YouTube channel, because Austin is a nerd, and loves to follow NASA stuff.  Both Austin & Morty accidentally reveal that they have no flow, and old man Austin continues to ruminate on YouTube as a platform.  Morty and I realize we need to take a break, but we might have to write code to invent a way to pause.

Part III: Did You Hear Something?

On Easter Morty and Austin re-watched Who Framed Roger Rabbit? where they both realized how much they love this movie.  Austin’s love of detectives comes from this movie, and while we love it, we both agree that it has a Female Problem.  (Women are portrayed poorly, and there are some off the cuff racial comments that are problematic.)   Morty & Austin discuss early memories of the movie, and decide that we also have to do a Disney show.  They do a little film analysis,  and compare Jessica Rabbit to Betty Boop.  Austin recommends Raymond Chandler‘s Phillip Marlowe and Dashiell Hammet‘s Sam Spade if you want to check out detectives, and Old Warner Brother’s Cartoons, just because they’re funny.  Austin continues to analyze, and we decide that the movie is good for kids, if you talk to your kids openly about life.

Not wanting to have this party get out of control, Morty and Austin wrap up the show at the sensible hour of 7:30 PM.  You can still find Morty & Austin on Facebook, and on they’re WordPress Page, when they’re not too busy making up songs on the fly.

Austin keeps a blog: acronyminc.org

Morty keeps a secret blog that we don’t know about… yet.

Perhaps someday you can contact us at: noemail at gmail dot com.  Let us know if it ever works.

Until next time.
