0 Episode 19 – “Mr. Alda, please get off the horse”
(The alternate title for this post was “Get the video camera, it’s Keira Knighly!”)
It’s a BONUS-TRAVAGANZA!
… or Dan forgot to post a bunch of stuff last weekend, so now we have boat loads of bonus tracks for you! Let’s see what you’ve won:
1) A Bonus Movie Bluff game! That’s right! Jenn and Caity did not get their fill of healthy competition during the actual episode taping, so we did another round JUST FOR YOU! (And for us too!) You should check it out. Adam, Dan, and their guests are getting SO MUCH BETTER at this game that it really is flowing a lot more!
2) A BONUS Bonus Track! After Jenn referenced the Minneapolis Fringe Festival, Dan broke out a copy of a one act script he wrote and produced in high school that starred Adam. It’s not gold or anything, but Caity opted to give it a one-woman table read, giving each character a difference accent. We had a lot of fun just listening to something from ’04. Check it out!
3) Up to modern times! It’s this week’s Mic Check! Katie and Eric (“Kevin”) hung out on the futon this week with Adam and Dan, and, among other things, they discussed winter driving excitement (thanks to snow finally showing up in Minnesota)! If you want to see the road in Duluth Katie is referencing, click here. Plus, we had a discussion regarding the movies nominated for this year’s Oscars to warm up for the episode, and we got some great quotes and one-liners out of it (including the quote in this post’s title)! Definitely a great way to swing into Oscar season.
Here’s a link to all of the above clips in the Bonus Tracks Archive
Finally, Dan and Emily Dyess are going to make an honest effort to watch every movie nominated for Best Picture before the Oscars, so there’ll be some talk about that on future episodes. Stay tuned! And make sure to check out tomorrow’s episode!
0 Free Ad on WTF with Marc Maron!
Another free endorsement of our show! I noticed the pattern, but it was a bitch to get a screenshot since the app works really well. If you want to know the back story behind any comic, get the WTF app, and sign up for the premium access. It is an amazing library. You’ll find tons of recognizable names, and you’ll love the ones you don’t know too.
0 Episode 18 – 01/18/12 feat. Jenn Diethart & Caity Shea Robertson
Guests Jenn Diethart and Caity Shea Robertson join Dan and Adam to discuss SOPA & PIPA, bingeable streaming media, and play “Movie Bluff” for the show. Taped at the Frank Oz Memorial Studio, Minneapolis, MN on Jan. 18, 2012. http://bufferingpodcast.com
0 Episode 18 – The 18th on the 18th!
So we had no idea that it had worked out this way, but we just taped our 18th episode on the 18th! Hurrah for coincidences! I’m going to make this one short, because I have to run and get my car fixed before this weather actually escalates to a “winter” status.
This week’s episode was awesome to tape, and will be really fun to listen to, as our two guests, Jenn and Caity, are among the few who have recently listened to all 17 previous episodes, so they know what’s going on. A lot of our conversations were all over the place, but we never wandered so far off the path that we had to back track, so everything ran very smoothly.
Lots of bonus tracks this week (all of which I will remember to post on time), plus a double bonus track that may be posted on Sunday (depending on audio quality/the amount of time it takes me to edit) that you should definitely check out.
For now, here’s the standard link to the Bonus Tracks Archive so you can listen to this week’s Mic Checks, but stay tuned all through the weekend for plenty of content to keep you warm.

0 Episode 17 – Who Left the Door to Minnesota Open?!?
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!
After all of this time in our mild winter, Minnesota has just been bitch-slapped by a cold front, but all was warm and comfy in the Frank Oz Memorial Studio, as we welcomed Dave and Maianne back from Georgia.
We’re still working to have a finalized show theme, but, for now, we have a placeholder, so feel free to soak that in. Otherwise, we have the format fairly well set in place, so we just get to continue having tons of fun each week, talking about streaming media (among other things).
Stay warm this week by listening to this week’s Mic Check, located in the Bonus Tracks Archive, and tomorrow’s episode! Make sure to also come back on Saturday, since we have a Post-Episode Conversation for you as well. The topic? I can give you a hint: “Sandwiches, and go. Go. GO. GO!”
0 Episode 17 – Welcome Back, Wheeler! (& Preble)
0 Episode 16 – 01/04/12 feat. Emily Dyess & Jack Lob
Guests Emily Dyess and Jack Lob join Dan and Adam to discuss streaming media news, available content on Netflix, and play “Movie Bluff” for the show.

0 Episode 16 – Happy New Year!
Sorry we’re late. We’re adjusting to the normal lives of citizens again, and this really just crept up upon us. Good news? We had one awesome show this week. Really. I think that this week’s “Movie Bluff” was one of the best we’ve had thus far. People are really latching on to it. But that’s not what we’re here to talk about. It’s time for this week’s mic check! A silly time was had by all as we recounted our holiday vacation experiences (and the silliness definitely crept into the episode too) [‘crept’ twice in one post? Either I need a thesaurus, or it’s getting downright spooky around here]. … Yeah. It was kind of like what just happened right there. Still, fun times all around, and a great Mic Check and Episode to lead us into 2012!
You can find the Mic Check in the Bonus Tracks Archive.
