Looks like I'll be using my new umbie for the first time today: http://bit.ly/aYPqfa Yikes! #
Currently doing a manual install of #froyo on my #DInc thanks to @androidcentral #
Chrome to Phone, here I come! #
30-yr-old me thinks 18-yr-old me would've enjoyed college in Madison, but I don't think 18-yr-old me would agree. #
So annoying that my browser launches a #VZW web page every time I plug my #DInc into the Win PC since #froyo – anyone know how to disable? #
Michelle notes that it is 90210 day, but I'm waiting for MP Day to celebrate. When is that? #
I wonder if I'd be able to use the wifi hotspot feature of froyo if I root my phone… #
Only 8 wks til The Mix starts playing X-Mas music 24/7 #whatlabordaymeanstome #
An evening of high school yearbook reminiscence. All good. And hilarious. #
http://twitpic.com/2lamaf Welcome to #storyhillfest #
Beautiful spot, beautiful weekend for #storyhillfest Midwest 2. #
Crazy to see how big @johnhermanson 's kids are now. We're all getting older… #storyhillfest #

jason — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 14:00:54 +0000

On this week’s podcast, we re-cap the last week-plus, talk a little about the movies gracing your favorite theaters at the moment, before moving on to a preview of the fall TV season.

It’s all in a convenient package that weighs a little less an hour– do enjoy!

Important show note: we will be resuming live streaming of the podcast on Sunday, Sept 12 at 8:30 CDT. The show will be moving to Sundays at least through the run of Bryan’s next play, There’s No Such Things As Ghosts, October 7-9, 15, and 16.

And of course, we’re always willing to take your call and comments at 608-318-3520.

We’re cruising into post-season baseball at this point, waiting for something exciting or important to occur. Good thing we’ve something to hold our attention during the month of September– FOOTBALL SEASON STARTS IN A WEEK.

Enjoy this hour-long “NFL Preview” edition of the SportsCast…

Back to work and only a little bit red and crispy. Summer vacation season almost over… #
Just heard mike birbiglia is dead #
Who WAS he? dude, @birbigs was uber-famous for being a terrible outfielder. RT @JustinWeese @tonyshangrila That sucks… who was he? #
*sigh* Now I'm going to have to figure out how to block FB Places… #
dealing with Charter's customer service via chat instead of phone makes the experience almost tolerable. #
Don't forget to check out the Bocko & BryGuy podcast LIVE tonight @ 915 CDT. live.soloshootsfirst.com #
getting ready for the podcast… think it's gonna be a good show. live.soloshootsfirst.com #
Thanks to everybody who listened and participated in the show… we'll do it again next week! #
Thinking about all these books I have for next time I move- tenured profs have that solved: take ur books to work. #
OMG it's fucking beautiful outside. #
How the hell do the #brewers handle Dotel no problem when he's wearing a Pirates uni, but not when he's with the #dodgers ? #
got me a hankerin' for some #starwars #
VZW should prioritize the roll-out of Froyo update to the #DInc by who wants it most. That would put me in the top 1000 users, easy. #

The Drama Jocks’ SportsCast #42: Our New Bronze Bud

jason — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 18:40:23 +0000

Here’s hoping the Twins realize there’s still a month left in this baseball season– and a number of important games to be played. Meanwhile in Milwaukee, they’re playing out the string, but there could be some lineup shuffling after the September call-ups…

NFL wants to go to 18 games, you say? As early as 2012, you say? Whatever it takes to make this televised pre-season BS a little more tolerable, I say.

Back at Miller Park, the Brewers brass erected a statue of baseball’s commissioner and former Brewers owner, Bud Selig this week. What’s the discrepancy between the national and local perception of Mr. Selig?

Thanks as always, and enjoy the show.

Bocko & BryGuy #20: Little Green Men

jason — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 11:59:32 +0000

On this week’s show we really get into it about sci-fi movies. What are you favorites? Most memorable? Most important? We try to hit ‘em all.

I give you my review of the new(est) Black Keys album, Brothers. Suffice it to say, I rate it awesome.

Bryan is fan of How I Met Your Mother on CBS, and I just started watching it this week. We also talk a little about the upcoming TV season.

Lots more good stuff, and plenty of fun in the chat room. Thanks for downloading! If you have a chance, check us out live next week at live.soloshootsfirst.com, at 9:15 CDT on Wednesday. You can also call in and leave us a message, a comment, or an idea for the show at 608-318-3520.

No excuse for blatant misspelling in email, blogs, etc.; homophones excepted, to some extent. In most PC apps, push F7 for chrissakes. #
After 2 or 3 weeks of ungodly heat and humidity, what a perfect summer day. #
Doing a live stream of the show w/ @bryansiebers is gonna be dead simple. Exciting stuff! #
cool RT: @birbigs: i’m hosting the moth podcast 4 a few weeks! it’s a great free podcast. all true stories told live! http://bit.ly/6WICN #
This weekend, I’m going to drink cheap, shitty beer ironically. http://twitpic.com/2fpo9e #
Bummed battery won’t last long enough to GPS-record the canoe trip this weekend; maybe I can figure the mileage some other way (like a map). #
OK, I’ve caved. I’ll post updates to twitter and FB at the same time. Still not very interested in FB, though. #
… my apologies to those that follow me in both places, btw. #

The Drama Jocks’ SportsCast #41: The Passion of the Favre

jason — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 12:06:04 +0000

Baseball season is winding down in Milwaukee, but the scrappy Brewers are still playing hard, as evidenced by their quick 2-game sweep of St. Louis down at Busch Stadium this week. We also answer the question: who is this Lorenzo Cain, and where has he been all my life?

Across the river in Twinkie Town, there’s not a lot to squawk about with the Twins on a 9-1 streak, and just coming off a successful series against the White Sox. What are their prospects for the post-season, though?

The Packers dropped a tough one to Cleveland the open the pre-season, but of course it’s going to be a 19-0 season for the Queens, now that his holiness the Purple Cheezus has descended on Eden Prairie once more… oh, it is glorious to be (sort of) free of the Favre…

Thanks as always, and enjoy.

Bocko & BryGuy #19: Bocko and BryGuy – LIVE!

jason — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 12:00:21 +0000

We recorded the show in a live format this week for the first time, so please forgive the hiccups and some occasional rambling. Overall, two former radio people did pretty well keeping it moving. ;)

We do a weekend recap, and then jump straight into movie reviews– what have we seen lately, what’s coming up this fall and early winter? A few flicks you don’t want to miss, and a couple we have no interest in…

Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis: Steve Carell from Between Two Ferns

We also take a short look at the android app, GetGlue, and discuss the phenomenon of web-based social referrals.

All in about 1 hour. Give it a listen, and tune in next week Wednesday at 9:15 CDT at live.soloshootsfirst.com. You can join us there in the chat room to give us live feedback during the show. Follow Bryan or I on twitter (@bryansiebers and @tonyshangrila, respectively), and you can still call to leave us a message which we’ll play back on the program at 608-318-3520.

Bocko & BryGuy #18: Still Rockin’ for Corn

jason — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 20:00:34 +0000

On this week’s show, we talk Farm Aid 25, the recently completed Lollapalooza, and why music festivals are kind of a rip-off.

We also cover the late night TV scene, and revisit the Louie CK show.

Thanks for listening and if you feel like it, leave us a message at 608-318-3520 with your thoughts or comments. Enjoy the show!

The Drama Jocks’ SportsCast #40: Have a Peanut

jason — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 16:22:03 +0000

This week on the SportsCast, we talk through the latest personnel moves for the Brewers, and wonder aloud why the Twins faithful can’t just enjoy a sweet ride of a season…

On the fringes of conventional sport, the PGA Championship comes to Wisconsin Dells Kohler, a gaggle of naked Brits get on a roller coaster, Michelle and I visit the state fair, and the WWE wants in to Congress.

Enjoy the program, and thanks as always.

The Original Podcast #17: Do No Evil

jason — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 21:30:23 +0000

We cover a lot of ground on Google this week– is their stand on net neutrality changing? With the demise of Wave, what does Google’s development model really look like now? That and more changes in the Milwaukee radio market, on this week’s podcast.

Also, we felt like you should definitely take a look at some of Schrubbe’s photos from this year’s EAA Airventure. Great job from Dave.

As always, you can take a look at the podcast blog for show notes and stories. Enjoy the program!
