GWC Podcast #208

This week: We talk Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Audra and Chuck learn to use a whip and chat with David and Will Morgan, the folks that made the original whips for Dr. Jones. We find out from listeners who’s best in the sack, Indy or Sr. And we run down the week in geek, including the awesome new Halo Legends mashup, an alien built of motorcycle parts, a lawsuit for blowing up Jesus in 2012, Ole Miss’ wishful new mascot, and zombies in Minneapolis.

Get well? Oh, I suppose i should start listening.

“Audra and I got to try out a whip.”

Interesting…

Holy craaap, Chuck! You sound terrible. :eek:

And I’ve got a new sig quote. :stuck_out_tongue:

Ok, I am only up to the Whip section, but my favorite two moments:

  1. Chuck mispronouncing mispronounce
  2. Audra yelling, “COPYRIGHT!” everytime someone says Jesus.

:smiley:

I just wondering if the not-so itsy-bitsy spider fell down on someone’s lap for effect? I mean, it happened (according to Chuck) exactly when Indiana Jones met the creepy-crawlies…

btw, I suffer from arachnophobia myself. :cool:

i have known people who are extremely arachnophobic… to the point they have driven off a road because a maple leaf fell on the wind shield and they thought it looked like a giant spider…

they don’t want to see the word spider, or things that looks like a spider… such as the character unfortunately they live in Asia and in the Hanji sphere, and that character means rice…

is it just me, or has GWC suddenly became Unicode unfriendly? i can’t get the hanji to come out like it used to.

And they mentioned poor Chuck as “sounding like Darth Vader!”

DARTH VADER !!! They said DARTH VADER !!!

A private jet is landing at DFW as we speak, chock-full of LucasNinjas, legal briefs, and is converging on the Rover to set up an ambush . :eek:

sean chuck and audra, where can i sign up for whip lessons with sean’s pops??? MAKE IT HAPPEN :slight_smile:

p.s. then maybe i could finally get a cool indy scar on my face

Great, now I want a whip.

And, feel better soon, Chuck.

This is a bit of a confession - I know before the Crystal Boobs, The Temple of Doom has always been considered the worst one, and they’re right. But even without the experience Chuck had with the spiders, this was probably the most memorable Indiana Jones for me. Maybe it catered the best to my young mind at the time, but just the crunch of the bugs totally did it for me in a way the other two films didn’t.

Hm. If someone’s name is Jesus, do they have to add a little circle c after their own name? Anyway, it’s ridiculous yet possibly hugely profitable.

Can’t wait to get back into Firefly next week. Woo!

ETA: Yay, Dragon Ball Z! Good balls.

I’m with you, if I think about indy it’s the rope bridge scene, the giant boulder, the flaming heart, the mine carts, etc. It’s not the best of them but it’s what pops into my head when you said Indiana Jones

There’s a guy in my town who, about twenty years ago, tried to change his name legally to Jesus Christ. As far as I know he’s still living with his parents.

In their basement.

Not done with the cast yet but…

Sean!

  1. Please post a picture of Junk-Mech!
  2. If you have pictures of your rollerblading through the mall, post that too. :smiley:
  3. Great pull on “Weirding Module”

Anybody else inspired to make their own Junk-Mech after hearing that?

I’d actually like to see Junk Mech at the Meetup. I bet we will :slight_smile:

I prefer you leave the hyphen in Junk-Mech, because Junk Mech makes me think of something else. IYKWIM.

I’ll have to pull Junk-Mech out of storage. He got put away when we found out Squeaker was coming… along with my anime figures and Star Wars stuff. I need to ask the Mrs. where he is.

Uh, no…no pics of me blading through the mall. We were too busy being kicked out.

What you have no anime/star wars/junk mech laying around the house?! HOW CAN YOU CALL IT HOME?!
