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 – 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 – 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 – 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.
0 Episode 28 – A Visitor From Afar
There are two pre-episode bonus tracks?
… There are TWO pre-episode bonus tracks?!?
… There are TWO PRE-EPISODE bonus tracks?!?
… There ARE two pre-ep … wait. Screwed that one up.
Okay, so, you may have heard that there are TWO PRE-EPISODE BONUS TRACKS available RIGHT NOW!!! You can find them here
We had an awesome show overall, featuring a special guest contacting us all the way from NYC (via Skype) … Molly! We actually haven’t had Molly Garczynski (twitter) on for an episode yet, due to distance, but this Skype sesh worked out so well that we may just have to try it in the future.
I know these BONUS TRACKs are a bit late, but here’s my advice to you, from one blog posting to its … reader: Download these bonus tracks tonight (they are set up to handle iTunes) and stick them on your MP3 device now, and you’ll have something to listen to as you work your way to Noon tomorrow.
Sound like a plan? Good. ‘Cause now I need to go ensure that that episode DOES pop up at Noon.
(Again, you can find the new bonus tracks here)
0 Episode 27 – Tonight we learn the definition of “Gut Reaction”
Happy Thursday, Everyone.
Time to kick back, be glad that another Friday is upon us, contemplate buying a MegaMillions Lottery Ticket for the $500 Million Jackpot drawing tomorrow, and listen to some bonus tracks.
One thing to let you know is that we are going to be updating the Web site over the next few weeks, so if content disappears, YOU’LL NEVER SEE IT AGAIN!!!
Not really …
We are just trying to make it easier for you to access the content you want when you want it, where you want it. And at this point, you’re not telling us where you want it (short of a number of dirty tweets we keep getting), so we’re just going to copy some commercially successful podcasts (aka ‘of famous people’).
We’re also going to try some visual media, so stay tuned for that.
Either way, go check out the bonus tracks, like this week’s mic checks.
0 Episode 26 – “Goddamnit, Jim Carrey!”
A little late tonight, I know, but this one is worth it.
This was the most casual, yet quietly structured Mic Check we have had to date! It just sort of happened, very organically. Who knew we’d go from talking about upcoming live comedy in the Twin Cities, and end up discussing our least favorite Jim Carrey movies. (We hit the favorites too, but we spent a lot more time on the poorer films)
If you are interested in seeing any of the live comedy we discussed, visit any of these links:

0 Episode 25 – Happy Saint Patrick’s Day
Erin go Bragh!
Tonight’s going to be a great night, but as you wait for night to come, why not listen to our ADDITIONAL Bonus Tracks from this week’s episode. Neither have anything to do with St. Patrick’s Day, but there’s some good listening.
The “Build a Title” track is 35 minutes long, and we only played TWO POINTS! Not to TWO POINTS. The second title got so long that we had to cut it off. It’s a great listen.
See you next week, and be safe. The cops’ll be out on the moors tonight.
