Guests Steve “Frank” Frankenfield, Molly Garczynski & Dave Wheeler join Dan to discuss news stories this week, including Tenacious D’s streamed pre-released album “Rize of the Fenix”. They also let the conversation wander as they see fit and play a new version of Movie Bluff, which worked out this week, in terms of length.

0 Episode 32 – I swear it’s Episode 31!
Happy late Thursday, folks!
Dan took last night off from my usual editing duties, so all of this got pushed back to today. Big loss? No. Now you have something to listen to tomorrow when you are commuting to work/school/the couch.
We had a lot of fun this week, where Dan was joined by THREE GUESTS as Adam was under the weather from which we hope he soon recovers, so he doesn’t miss out on “The Avengers” this weekend. ON TOP OF THAT Dan broke out the Frank Oz Memorial Studio webcam, and brought in remote guest Molly Garczynski, all the way from New York City. You’ll be able to tell based on the tinny noise when she speaks, but there’s never a lag in the audio.
In the episode itself, Dan constantly refers to this week as Episode 31, even though it is, in fact, Episode 32. We’ll make sure he writes it down next time so he gets it right.
We’re also still making progress on updating the web site as a whole. The archived episodes are grouped according to guests, as well as by date. And now you can find the Bonus Tracks with their corresponding episodes!
Speaking of Bonus Tracks, you can find the Mic Checks on this week’s page! Check it out!
0 Episode 31 – 04/24/12 feat. Emily Dyess & Andrew Nelson
Guests Emily Dyess and Andrew Nelson join Dan and Adam to discuss news stories this week, including a change to how Hulu charges its advertisers, Live Streaming TV, and play a new version of Movie Bluff, which runs the episode way over its usual length.

0 Episode 31 – Celebrity Snacks
A lot has happened already this week, and it’s only Friday morning!
The archiving system within the web site has been re-done. No, really. Check out that black menu bar at the top of the screen. That wasn’t there before.
We now have bonus tracks paired up with their corresponding episodes, and you can check out the episodes [all flash-based on the site, BTW] sorted by release date, or by guest appearances. Sure, all of the episodes except for this week’s page are missing descriptions, and actually still have placeholders where there should be descriptions, but that’ll be adjusted throughout the week, as we hire a “Buffering …” Historian.
We also had a great time this week with guests Emily Dyess and Andrew Nelson. Andrew even came prepared with a suggestion for this week’s Mic Check: Celebrity Snacks. Basically, someone names a famous actor or actress, and everyone openly speculates on what they believe that celebrity’s go-to snack would be. Like craft services snack between takes. More fun than it sounds, ’cause it’s interesting to hear everyone defend their answer(s).
You can find that bonus track, plus a blooper track, by checking out this week’s episode page.
0 Episode 30 – We’re just hitting all kinds of milestones this week!
It’s been a long week 30 for us here at Buffering. Thirty episodes, plus AT LEAST one bonus track per recording, as long as you count the Tum Rup Thai as a bonus in itself, as it was outside the Frank Oz Memorial Studio.
But speaking of Road Recordings, we have the C2E2 audio now available in our Bonus Tracks Archive! You can listen to Adam, Joel Vollmer and Dave Wheeler chat it up as they run into their first bout of traffic on their way to Chicago for C2E2.
And if you haven’t checked out this week’s nostalgic episode, do it! It’s a crappy day out, so you should just hang out and get some podcast listenin’ in.
We’ll see you next week!
0 Episode 30 – 04/17/12 feat. Jon Schrader & Joel Vollmer
Guests Jon Schrader and Joel Vollmer join Dan and Adam for a fairly loosey-goosey 30th episode, as they discuss C2E2 and its resulting road trip, TV programs from their collective childhoods, crazy 90’s and early 2000 video games, and play Movie Bluff.

0 Episode 30 – Wait … What? EPISODE 30?!?
We have now taped more than THIRTY HOURS of podcasted content for your listening pleasure, not overlooking the more than FIFTEEN HOURS of Mic Checks we’ve posted on the site! We have made more content than you could listen to in TWO DAYS!
And yes, we’re just flaunting my morning math skills at this point.
Rather that post any of the Bonus Tracks Wednesday or yesterday, as we usually do, we have opted to create a TIDAL WAVE OF ENTERTAINMENT for you this weekend. You get today’s Mic Check in the morning (now), a new episode featuring Jon Schrader and Joel Vollmer this afternoon, and two more bonus tracks tomorrow including Adam’s road trip bonus track from C2E2!
Check out the Mic Check and tomorrow’s bonus tracks by visiting the “Buffering …” Bonus Tracks Archive or by using the navigation at the top.
Check back at noon for today’s awesome episode! Thanks for sticking with us for THIRTY EPISODES!
0 Episode 29 – 04/10/12 feat. Lauren “Lola” Schauer & Dave Wheeler
Guests Lauren “Lola” Schauer and Dave Wheeler join Dan and Adam to discuss news stories this week, including the political black cloud surrounding Netflix, YouTube’s Pay-Per-View feature, a new Netflix miniseries featuring David Tennent, and play Movie Bluff.

0 Episode 29 – Damn you, Heineken!
Happy Thursday!
Correction … Happy “Mic Check” Thursday!
Had a great time on Tuesday, joined by returning guests Lauren “Lola” Schauer and Dave Wheeler. We had a great discussion during this week’s mic check surrounding some shocking news: James Bond is no longer a martini man! You can read about it here, or take a listen. You can find the bonus tracks here. Take a listen, and make sure to stop back tomorrow for a new kickass episode of “Buffering …”.
Oh, and make sure to check out the Mindwave Comics table at C2E2 and meet ADAM ERDMANN! (Dave says what table they’re at in tomorrow’s episode)
0 Episode 28 – BONUS GAME (and some Political Ranting)
Happy Pre-Easter Saturday, Folks! And I believe Passover is running its way through the system as well, so Cheers to all of our Jewish listeners too!
So we had some good times after this week’s episode taping, first taking some time to clear the air about our political beliefs … for some reason, and then we hopped into a pretty awesome game of Build a Title. I think there may be an official Frank Oz Memorial Stopwatch that will be incorporated into each time we play Build a Title, as we tend to sit around a bit longer than necessary, waiting for an answer … but, at the same time, we usually do riff on to some entertaining topics to fill the dead air, so maybe we won’t.
Tell me if you have opinions one way or another.
Until next time, check out the Bonus Build a Title game track by clicking HERE.
