Episode 0: Getting Warmed Up.

Welcome to the “test episode” of WhatTheCast, recorded on 02/08/2007. Brian, Crispy & Stephen spend a little time talking about Anna Nichole Smith, crazy astronauts, comic mashups, the madness of the 24-hours news networks and why Brian can’t always be found using Google.

Random Chit-Chat:

  • Brian is going to Germany thanks to his employer
  • Stephen’s Baby 2.0 is due in May

WhatTheTopics:

  • Why does the news focus on Anna-Nichole Smith and LED signs in Boston?
  • How can you be famous for being famous?
  • Boston response to ATHF is looking secure, but not really secure … same as the TSA.
  • The 24 hour news cycle exists to invent news, just like ESPN had to invent sports.
  • Crazy diaper wearing women … in … spaaaaaaace!
  • What happens when astronauts go crazy on a long space mission?
  • Space shuttle … NASCAR in space or dumptruck to low-Earth orbit?
  • When will private industry free us from government space control?
  • Why can’t Google always find Brian?
  • Comic mashups : “Civil War” Photoshops & “Breakfast of the Gods”
  • Army of Darnkess + Marvel Zombies = comedy gold

Homework: count the number of times Brian “ums”, maybe you can win a prize :)
