Bi2U143: Nick-Nacks

December 7th, 2009

Classic Brianisinyou host Crazy Nick has found his way to Los Angeles, and brings his unique point of view (and pacing) to this week’s show.  Join us for a Maury Povich style insight into what our most debated co-host has been up to in the two years since we last heard from him.

While you listen to the show, take a minute to consider being added to the Brianisinyou Christmas card list.  Brian and Sean will send you an autographed Christmas card with any donations of $10 or more. Use your parents’ credit card, or Paypal account at brianisinyou.net/donate.  If you’d rather not contribute to the longevity of this show, we also have Amazon wishlists up here, here and here.

If you’re new to the show, please understand that Nick is not a regular fixture here. We highly recommend checking out episodes 142 or 141 before diving into this one.

Bi2U142: LOLpause

November 30th, 2009

In this day and age, IM pacing is vastly important.  It adds a sense of sincerity and truthiness to conversations that are otherwise flat, and nearly impossible to understand. Flawed IM pacing can lead to miscommunications, animosity, and personal injury.  It’s important to spread out your instant message punchline indicators in order to indicate a proper amount of punchiness, otherwise you just come off as an asshole.

The show needs money. brianisinyou.net/podcast to find our paypal donation button, and help us cover webhosting for next year, and a fancy mic stand for Sean. Any amount helps, and we will be happy to throw a bonus midweek minishow out there if we see some cash.

Bi2U141: London Lice

November 3rd, 2009

141

After taking some time off for personal growth and reflection, we’re back for a quick comeback show. Join us as we recap Halloween, divulging into two of Christina’s largest childhood failures, and largest costume handicaps.

This show only happened thanks to your listener feedback. Be sure to email us at show@brianisinyou.net, or leave some messages at 206.49.lolbk to inspire us to continue spending time and money on your earholes. Keep an eye on the twitters for upcoming entertainment opportunities while bk and Christina are out of town.

Bi2U140: Titan-fu

October 19th, 2009

Sean has a mustache that makes him look like he just tied some woman to railroad tracks.  He says that it’s temporary (he only did it for tonight’s Butthole Surfers show), but I’m calling bullshit.  He created that thing on his face, and he loves it.  I’m willing to bet that it’s still there next Sunday.

This week, Sean, Christina and bk teach the kids about the benefits of eschewing responsibilities in favor of a morning pint, inappropriate uses for an accelerometer, a suicide mission to one of the moon’s rings(?), and a sex toy with tongues like Ravana, the demon king of Lanka.  We are quite proud of what we do here.

Leave us some feedback for next week.  You can call our voicemail at 206.49.lolbk, or email show@brianisinyou.net.  We will also be giving away some gym fu apps via our twitter.  Hugs and kisses.

Bi2U139: Habermelt

October 12th, 2009

139

There’s something strange in the air this week. BK and Sean are joined by Haberknockers, and special guest Patrick for a quick show, immediately following a Bludso’s BBQ binge.  We recap Patrick’s adventures in LA (where we live), discuss an upcoming reality-quiz show, and cut down all of the live listeners brave enough to call in.

We will continue to give out promo codes for Gym Fu via the show’s Twitter. Keep an eye out for your chance to win, and to know when we’re going live next.  Why not?

Bi2U138: Meat Machines

October 5th, 2009

Brianisinyou is teaming up with gymfu.com in a quest to grow massive arms, and earn respect at movie theaters/look good in a vat of pasta/recruit randoms for an upcoming trip to Miami.  It’s entirely possible.

If you want to challenge Brian or Sean to some ‘fu challenges, send a picture of your weak, birdlike muscles (with “brianisinyou” written on them) to show@brianisinyou.net.  We’ll hook up our favorite arms with pushup fu for the iPhone/iPod touch, and our favorite belly with crunch fu.  If you already have the apps, send us challenges by searching for “bk” or “shean”.

We will be back next Sunday with a special guest.   Follow @brianisinyou on twitter, and you’ll be privy to new happenings as they become old happenings. Hit us up with @replies, emails (like last week’s excellent fan-art by Wendy) and voicemails (206.495.6525), and we will love you like brothers and sisters.

Bi2U137: Polanski Punt

September 28th, 2009

People need to start thinking things through before they try to pull styles.  Stupid 13 year old girl, and stupid 13 year old girl’s mother – What did you expect to happen when you were brought into Jack Nicholson’s bedroom for a “Vogue photoshoot”?  And you, guy building a bunker for the apocalypse.  Do you really think cat food is going to sustain you for the day that God himself dictates “this is how all the shit’s going to be”?  And Jordan, how are you going to get a book deal about your heart surgery if you livestream the outcome over the internet?  Hello?  Spoiler alert? I know it’s no “Snape kills Dumbledore” situation, but you could really do a better job keeping people in the dark about your aortic valve replacement.  You have our heartfelt (LOL) support, but jeeze—save something for the fourth act.

It’s just frustrating.  You people need to get less excited about your best-case scenario outcomes and keep an open mind for potential failures.  Maybe the old man feeding you quaaludes and asking you to take off your underwear is a sexual predator.  Maybe the hospital Wifi will go out.  Maybe Sony Pictures should have realized that people might go to their craptastic website for their craptastic film.  Ridiculous.

Bi2U136: Ten Points!

September 21st, 2009

Two car tandem parking is ten points, while two car side-by-side is fifteen. Central air and heating is worth twenty, while wall-units is only ten. Ownership of property is worth one tenth of one point per square foot, but a solid sense of humor is an automatic fifty points. Obviously, total point value is multiplied by the number of successful dates.

There can be maths! It doesn’t matter if the situation is dating strategy or looking for a good lease. There has to be a way to crunch numbers, and validate your efforts. Everything can be formulaic and simple—why waste effort on judgment and thought? It doesn’t have to be painful.

Bi2U135: Resource Based Economy

September 14th, 2009

135

Potential vs substantial, Brianisinyou and the resource based economy, WHO WILL EMERGE FROM THE STEEL CAGE??

Brian and company struggle with pleasure and power- what’s to become of them amongst meatball fountains and resource based economies? It’s a slippery, slippery slope.  This show is odd.  Lots of live callers, no regular segments, and a cheesecake scented candle.  Bring your beer, bonfires, burgers and bongs. Christina went to some girlish party (see album art), and everybody gets to thinking.  How can we create the male equivalent?  How does one measure vaginal depth? Most importantly, how can you help us in creating a resource based economy?  We are doing our part in the studio by recycling our own urine.  Get off the grid, fool.

Don’t let this be your first exposure to our show. Take a few steps back.  If you have ideas for our manparty, call 206.495.6525 anytime this week.  Leave the idea in a voicemail, and we will share it with everybody.  Best suggestion will actually happen, and we’ll take pictures.

Bi2U134: California Adventure

September 7th, 2009

134

Sean and Brian are joined by two classic regulars, in a search for the greatest California adventure.  Steve Asbury (last heard sometime before episode 50) is seeking wildfires, industrial rock and dirty game-shows, while Starline is on a quest to find childhood wonderment somewhere down the 405.

A horrible illness has taken Sean, and that’s all because of the lack of “get well soon” cards from last week.  Now he’s worse.  He is dying.  How do you feel about that, internet?

Next week, we’ll be back with the ever-popular Habernacker.  Be sure to call us up with your feedback, requests, and secrets: 206.49.lolbk.
