Podcast Rodeo for June 24: One without ear

by Justin McElroy { Jun 24th 2008 at 6:00PM }

Yeah, that's right, two weeks in a row. We're sore from patting ourselves on the back. So, are we going to have a big parade and a cake party, or are we going to start talking about some podcasts?

Yeah, we thought so.

CAG Foreplay: As fond as we are of our own New Games this Week feature, it has some significant drawbacks. 1. You have to read it with your eyes and 2. There are no girls there. Cheap Ass Gamer's Foreplay has us beat in those regards, rich as it is in both audio and females, in the form of Mrs. Shipwreck, half of the marital casting duo. This week, they have a fight over Frogger, it's really quite sweet.

GFW Radio: Longtime Rodeoids know that the always excellent GFW Radio is part of our bread and butter. On this week's episode, we say goodbye to host Sean Malloy, but say hello to "Chuff Love," a new feature that follows the romantic misadventures of co-host Anthony Gallegos. Oh, and, at some point, games are discussed. We promise.

Superhappyfuntimeshow: Within the first few seconds of episode 25 of the Superhappyfuntimeshow, there's a clip from Waiting For Guffman. Well done. But a few moments later, the hosts try to assert that growling "Metal Gear?" when any discussion of Metal Gear begins isn't funny. Which is wrong, because it totally is. So we agree with them, but we don't. What does that make us as listeners? Engaged. Oh, but be forewarned: There is a lot of yelling.

Bionic Commando Podcast: This one's a little older, but if you're a podcast nerd, the opportunity to hear former Gamespotter and current Giant Bomber Jeff Gerstmann in a podcast with 1UP's Garnett Lee and Shane Bettenhausen is too good to pass up. This is, apparently, what it's like when world's collide. (Also, there's a lot of swearing when worlds collide. Go figure.)

OK, that'll do it for this week. Oh, and if you want to get your show on the Rodeo, email rodeo aat joystiq dawt com. We'll listen, we promise.

Aww =(

I like the old guy better =)

Jhongerkong @ Jun 25th 2008 7:36PM

So, you'd rather see a picture of an old guy sleeping than a girl (even if she's kinda ugly)?

riggs @ Jun 24th 2008 6:12PM

holy crap is that whats her face from the real world?!?

PojoMofo @ Jun 24th 2008 6:19PM

yup, Renee from Real World Seattle.

Am I a douche for knowing that?

Gbogdan @ Jun 24th 2008 6:22PM

I thought the exact same thing...if it's not her, it's her long lost twin.

BlackBeltJones @ Jun 24th 2008 7:07PM

It's not Renee, it's Irene. I remember because they used to play the song "Goodnight Irene" for her.

Markez (MKWii 4339-2878-5120) @ Jun 24th 2008 7:14PM

Good lord she's hideous.

DiddlyKong @ Jun 24th 2008 6:22PM

"Your a homosexual Steven."

SLAP!!!

Shagittarius @ Jun 24th 2008 6:26PM

I'd Smack it up, flip it, rub it down...

Marty @ Jun 24th 2008 6:32PM

And I would expect nothing less from a guy named 'Shagittarius'

Sora267 @ Jun 24th 2008 11:08PM

I assume you're talking about your eyes, because there's no way in hell I'd do that girl in the picture.

RobLink (Return of the McElroy Defence Force) @ Jun 24th 2008 6:35PM

I'm now a full time subscriber to GFW. Those guys crack me up, and this week's (last wek's?) episode is no different. Highly recommended.

RobLink (Return of the McElroy Defence Force) @ Jun 24th 2008 7:25PM

*last week's*

Jerk Face @ Jun 24th 2008 7:55PM

GFW is my second favorite podcast, for sure! There's just something about it. They rarely talk about video games for more than five minutes at a time and their tangents are the most entertaining part of the show!

RobLink (Return of the McElroy Defence Force) @ Jun 25th 2008 3:46AM

And considering they're tied to a brand, they find no shame in just being themselves. It's great. I haven't been listening that long, so I don't know their names, but the guy that can do the voices cracks me up.

Veko @ Jun 25th 2008 9:37AM

For the voices, it depends on which voice. Jeff Green does the nerd voice, often when reading Warhammer lore or whatnot. The whiney voice, used for Hero of the Web is Shawn Elliot.

Sorry, Joystiq, You're the second best podcast, behind GFW.

RobLink (Return of the McElroy Defence Force) @ Jun 25th 2008 11:20AM

It'd be Jeff. The one that did the Conan intro and outro a few weeks back?

Churchy @ Jun 24th 2008 6:44PM

It's time for the YELLING NEWS MAN!

Good choice on super happy funstime show.

Sir Fidlious Wong (Justin T. McElroy Memorial Burn of the Day Award) @ Jun 24th 2008 6:55PM

No love for the Podtoid's Metal Gear special? Granted it suffers from an extreme case of Jim Sterling Withdrawal but still a fun listen.

FOXHOUND @ Jun 25th 2008 7:24AM

-applauds Wong's new icon-

...HUGBEES!

seakae @ Jun 24th 2008 7:14PM

Man, it was taking me forever to figure out who that was.

Jake of 8bitjoystick.com @ Jun 24th 2008 7:44PM

Actually that is Irene McGee who (yes was on Real World Seattle but she thought the show was full of crap)

She made one of my favorite podcats on media ethics called No Ones Listening (Best interview with Noam Chompsky evar!)and she now hosts video podcasting show for Revision 3 called Social Brew.

That photo was from a craft project she submitted to Make Magazine.
