It's pretty routine for Nick and I to trade administrative AudioShocker emails around the clock. The following are excerpts from an email thread that got out of hand. It isn't really an AIMcast, but we had to share it with you.
Nick: Do you need me to do a fill-in podcast for this weekend? Make a command decision now because I need to plan for it if that's the case!
Neal: No, we ARE podcasting! My dad leaves by 5pm. I will be clicking/ticking like MacGyver.
Nick: okay but why like MacGyver?... I don't get it!
Neal: MacGyver... bombs...
Nick: He makes bombs?
Neal: Stop analyzing! I'll be there.
Nick: Be where? Making a bomb with MacGyver? He lives on a houseboat, you know.
Neal: Isn't that the Highlander?
Nick, Wow he lives on a houseboat too? So does Leon Phelps. All my heroes live on a houseboat. Wait, new band name! "All My Heroes Live on a Houseboat"
Neal: Should do a Top 9 Houseboat Dwellers!
Nick: Well I can only think of four off the top of my head - you got anymore?
Neal: What about TJ from European Gigolo
Nick: Holy SHIT! I forgot about T.J. You know, Neal, I've been holding out on you. Chuck Norris lived on a houseboat in one of his awesome action movies.
Perhaps you can help us add to our list. Who else in film or TV lives on a houseboat?
As I noted yesterday, the season premiere of Chuck was last night and Kirsten and I were pretty amped about it. I actually saw a leaked copy last week, but Kirsten threatened to defenestrate me if I let slip any details. So, without any further delays, please enjoy our post-screening rundown presented in glorious AIMcast:
Kirsten: I just want to start out by saying that I was watching Chuck before it was cool.
Kirsten: I actually distinctly remember telling Neal to watch it and him saying that he didn't think it was worthwhile
Neal: All hail Kirsten, the hipster of Chuck
Kirsten: Thank you
Kirsten: So
Kirsten: Premiere: awesome
Neal: I thought the premiere was suitably cute/dorky/funny
Kirsten: Yes
Neal: Also, do girls really put on their dresses all sexy like that?

So, what's a blogger to do when his partner in crime goes home for the weekend? Does he go on an all-out bender? Get all emo? Repress the emotional turmoil? Or, does he call up two fine young ladies and start an AIMcast? Yeah, that's it. Join us as we discuss: 90210, How I Met Your Mother, Shia LeBeouf, Miley Cyrus, Twilight, American Apparel ads, Sia, Spring Standards, pop rocks, and waaaaaay more. Extra special thanks to my guests Rohini and Kirsten.

Kirsten: I meant to have the season premiere of Mad Men watched by now
Kirsten: but I don't
Kirsten: I don't want any spoilers
Neal: OK.
Neal: Well, let's get started and hopefully Ro will pop in.
Kirsten: So what's up?
Neal: Well, let's see - NASA discovered - or claims to have discovered - water on Mars.
Kirsten: Liquid water?
Neal: Ice. But maybe a little liquid too?
Neal: I mean, even ice is a big deal
Kirsten: I thought we knew about ice?
Kirsten: I'm not super up on my Mars discoveries though
Kirsten: I thought there were traces of polar ice caps
Neal: I think no matter what, if we ever get people there it'll just be like that movie Event Horizon
Neal: i.e. blood. dead bodies. and zero G fire
Kirsten: I never saw Event Horizon
Kirsten: so I don't know
Neal: It was unnecessarily scary.

As Nick noted earlier, there is no podcast this week. But all is not lost! I rounded up our two favorite readers Ro and Kirsten (Sorry Gotham and Tom), for another super duper AIMcast! So join us as we discuss old comics, Scrubs, Mad Men, Flight of the Conchords, Hillary / Obama / McCain and the presidential race, ugly shoes including Ugg Boots and Crocs, Sandler's new movie You Don't Mess With the Zohan, our dislike for Sex and The City, the plight of Borders Bookstores, and so much more.
Once again, special thanks to Kirsten for her excellent editing and Ro for taking time out of her super busy Sunday night.

Sorry folks, Nick and Justique are off this week. Podcast 18 will air next week. In their absence, I decided to try something new. I rounded up two of my favorite ladies, triathlete-in-training Rohini and Kirsten of Yumbrosia, for an oldschool AIM chat. Read on as we discuss The Lovemakers, Umbrella by Rihanna, The Decemberists, Rogue's Gallery, Aimee Mann in the sack, the definition of cute, Chuck, Lost, Katherine Heigl, The Spirit of the Marathon, Biggest Loser, The Cutting Edge 3, and so so so much more!
Special Thanks to Kirsten for her excellent editing, Ro for her patience with AIM, and the continued Writer's Strike for all the extra free time.
