0 Adam’s Weekly Video Picks – Vol. 8
Zounds! It’s time for me to post another set of videos I’m certain you’ll enjoy. For this round, we’ll start with some A Capella, relive some 90’s greatness, see some game show ridiculousness, and again, relive some 90’s greatness.
1. Sonic 2: Chemical Plant Zone A Capella – Smooth McGroove
There are plenty of videos out there of guys singing all the parts to a song in this split-screen arrangement, but Smooth McGroove is a cut above the rest. The vocals are so crisp and the sound is great. He has a ton of songs from video games on his page (Zelda!) as well as a few covers of some popular Indy rock songs. Go check it out!
2. Will & Jaden Smith, DJ Jazzy Jeff and Alfonso Ribiero Rap! – The Graham Norton Show
Nostalgia much? This is why Will Smith was one of my heroes growing up. Awesome.
3. 1 Hour of the Funniest Game Show Answers Ever
I was very amused.
4. Wild & Crazy Kids – Episode 42
Remember this show? We were talking about it on the podcast this week. Classic Nickelodeon!
Thanks for watchin’! See you next week!
0 Episode 87 – Kelli Meschke & Caity Shea Robertson
Kelli & Caity Shea join Dan & Adam in the Wheels Brewing Co Studio to continue to discuss the recent release of “Arrested Development”, “Hemlock Grove”, and the future plans of Netflix.

0 Adam’s Weekly Video Picks – Vol. 7
When you’ve spent as many days without seeing the sun as we have here in the great state of Minnesota the past few weeks, it can be challenging to maintain a good mood. Given my current employment in the customer service sector, I know this as well as anyone. It’s times like these that what you really need is a good laugh…
1. Dragonball Z Abridged – Season 1
Even if you’re not a Dragonball Z fan, you’ll find plenty of laughs here. Think of Dragonball Z as the plate on which this heaping helping of hilarity is served.
2. “Creating Customs” Visits Local Motors
If the laughs above didn’t tickle your fancy, maybe you need to see something awesome. Enter the Rally Fighter! It’s one of the coolest cars out there and the story behind how this car was designed and built by a community is remarkable – a unique approach to the car market.
3. How Iron Man 3 Should Have Ended
It’s pretty safe to assume that those of you who are going to see Iron Man 3 have seen it already, so here’s How It Should Have Ended with… how it should have ended. Check out the rest of their videos!
4. Start a Mumford Band – Key of Awesome
This was one of the featured videos from YouTube’s comedy week. I gotta admit, after watching this and hearing a Mumford-style folk song on the radio, they hit the nail right on the head.
That should do for now! Stay tuned for next week!
0 Episode 86 – Paddy Whelan & Tom “Wheels” Whelan
Wheels and Paddy pop into the studio to add some strength to the Whelan side of things with Dan and Adam. They discuss current streaming habits, the local Minneapolis music scene, and finishing in Canada. The also talk about the new “Arrested Development” season available on Netflix. Plus, they play the yet unnamed Misheard Lyrics game.

0 Adam’s Weekly Video Picks – Vol. 6
Hello! So nice of you to pry yourself away from watching the new season of Arrested Development to check out my picks for this week! Maybe some of you already finished them (I was done in two quite full evenings), so I’ll welcome you back to the part of the internet that isn’t about the Bluth family. This week, we’ll learn about the history of typography and sit in on a few hilarious and interesting panels!
1. The History of Typography
Fascinating, with well-done stop-motion.
2. Wil Wheaton & The Science of Star Trek – StarTalk with Neil deGrasse Tyson
It’s so neat to see how fact and fiction mesh in this panel.
3. Game of Thrones Emmy Panel 2013
We didn’t get an episode of Game of Thrones this week and I know many of you are fans, so here’s something to hold you over until next Sunday! Peter Dinklage is so awesome and I laughed out loud many times watching this.
There we have it! I’m just posting three this week, since the two panels are so long (well worth your time, though!). See you next time!
0 Episode 85 – Kaylyn Hum & Josh Mootz
Dr. Kaylyn and Mootz join Dan and Adam in the studio for a long overdue dual-newbie episode! They discuss their access to streaming media, including the Internet options of Alaska, and some streaming news as well. For Movie Bluff, Kaylyn and Mootz team up to take on Adam’s encyclopedic IMDB knowledge.

0 Adam’s Weekly Video Picks – Vol. 5
I’m back with week five, presenting a handful of videos I hope you won’t immediately forget you watched moments after you watch them, as is the case most of the time when surfing this Grand Interweb of ours. Because of the unfathomable volume of content out there to consume and the ludicrous level of convenience by which it is delivered, our attention spans are so short that sometimes it can feel like a chore to commit more than ten minutes to one video when you could simply scroll to the next post in your News Feed or click the “Stumble” button for the umpteenth time. That’s exactly the kind of thing I’m aiming to avoid in my little series here, selecting quality stuff that I think you’ll enjoy or find educational and perhaps even reflect on later. This week, we’ll go for a drive with Sir Patrick Stewart, join some skiers/snowboarders in the mountains, look at a new spin on coming out to your parents, and hike Machu Picchu with full 3D sound. Avanti!
1. Carpool – Sir Patrick Stewart
It seems I’ve found the British precursor to “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.” There a few more notable big names in this series, but for the most part, you’d probably have to be from the U.K. to know who the rest are. I love this interview format! It’s easy to imagine what it would be like to go on a car ride with Patrick Stewart while watching this.
2. Searching for Spines // Episode Two
Just some all-around excellent skiing/snowboarding footage with great music and some exciting first-person views.
3. Coming Out Straight – Josh Healey
Hilarious! I laughed out loud, especially when he’s describing the liberal parents.
4. 3D Audio Machu Picchu – Smarter Every Day
Put those headphones on! The Binaural sound adds a great immersion factor.
Thanks for joining me for this week’s picks! See you next week!
0 Episode 84 – Jon Schrader & Matt Walstead
Jon and Matt join Dan and Adam in the studio for a very newsy episode! “Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee” gets renewed, Yahoo! gets into the streaming game, and they also discuss YouTube’s inaugural Comedy Week (May 19-25). Thereafter, Dan gets to try his hand at the updated “Movie Bluff” rules.

0 Adam’s Weekly Video Picks – Vol. 4
Volume 4 comes a bit later in the week than I would like (very busy week, no time to post until now), but it’s certainly worth the wait! This week, we’ll hear a fairy tale re-told in Shakespearean language, learn about what the internet is doing to our brains, find out what lengths people will go to for free gas, see a modern-day samurai cut through a speeding bullet and iron, and hear a great song Dan picked out for you. Onward!
1. The Three Little Pigs – John Branyan
I love this – I’m especially astounded by the numbers he gives in the beginning about our current average working vocabulary. I certainly hope I have a working vocabulary higher than 3000!
2. What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains – Epipheo.tv
Eye-opening, isn’t it? Dan found a browser extension that coincides nicely with this theme of de-cluttering and minimizing distractions; you can find it here: http://clea.nr/
3. Pumpcast News – The Tonight Show with Jay Leno
I’m not a huge Jay Leno fan and this video has a few more hits than those I like to post, but this is too great not too share.
4. Modern Samurai – Isao Machii
So it’s a BB, but that’s still super impressive – especially to a guy who has tried to block Nerf darts with a lightsaber. Quite the impressive weapon and wielder.
5. Flat Random Noise – Hurricane Dean
This is Dan’s song pick for you this week. Pretty catchy!
That’s it for now! Thanks for checking out this week’s video picks! More to come next week.
0 Episode 83 – Caity Shea Robertson & Lauren “Lola” Schauer
Caity Shea and Lola join Dan and Adam in the studio for a “Where Are They Now?” episode, considering both Caity Shea and Lola have been somewhat MIA recently. They talk the streaming talk and tangent like they usually do, followed by another round of the adapted “Movie Bluff” game.
