This week the ZXH Creative team retake the studio from Paragon Limited. Johnny Spin welcome’s back Dr. Aluiscious McGrath to the show to further discuss the proposition to remove The Thing from the Bay. Listener Soundoff, a family planning ad, and local breaking news.

The fact is that as the scripting around here gets more complex we need to re-arrange the way we do things around here to deal with everyone’s conflicting schedules and competing interests. So we’re going to take a couple weeks to try a new approach to writing and recording the show. Also, the show will be moving to a bi-monthly format when it returns. If you would like the show to return to a weekly format, please instruct a few thousand of your closest friends to buy the e-book so we can all quit our day jobs. Thanks.

This week, Jack is in exhile and his location is unknown. He’s been replaced by a man calling himself Rube, an apparent shill for Paragon. International news with Nick Sabot. Paragon Ltd. has taken over the ZXH South Point Studios.

This week writen and performed by Rusty, Aisling, Nick Sabot, and Jack.

This episode addresses the other side of the Thing in the Bay debate, featuring the mighty Troythulu as the inimitable Dr. Alouicious McGrath.

Ok gang, we’re trying something a lot different and we hope it’s going to work out. If you like this episode please let us know … and let everybody else know, because it was a lot of fun and I’d like to do a bunch more stuff like it.

This week, the events surrounding the ferry accident. An AZCorp promotional contest announcement for listeners (and yes we’re totally serious about it, see further down the notes for details), a new sponsor, op-ed news from the northeast, and more.

‘Contest’ details: Make a video of yourself singing the AZCorp jingle (the one that Azzie sings in the AZCorp ads) and email us a link to wherever you’ve posted it (preferably not somewhere spammy, thanks. You can get our contact details at the end of the show). Once we’ve gotten a chance to see it we’ll email you a digital copy of our ebook ‘The Miskatonic University Beginner’s Guide to Old One’s Yoga‘. This offer is valid through the end of June 2014.

All that said, doing the show this way is a lot more time and effort than the old conversational show that we have been doing up until now, so I’m really serious about bringing other people in to help with scripting and story ideas, so listen to the end of the show for info on how to submit that kind of thing if you’re interested in helping out.

Thanks

-Jack

Also, script and clip submissions are now open! Have a skit, clip, or … well frankly anything funny that you’d like to be a part of the Alt-reality of BD? Details in the show about how to make that happen!

Much thanks to everybody we met at the con, it was epic this year.

Topics:

SCiO, the kickstarter IR Spectrometer … quite possibly the neatest geek gadget of the year.

Soylent is Shipping! … and a lot of people are still freaked out by it.

The FCC hates you. There are 3 months of public comments to try and bend them to the will of the people. Do your thing, internet.

And last but not least, Patents. This week Amazon Patented taking pictures on white backgrounds. Which is crazy. We talk about that and other patent issues that come to mind … like Adam Carolla’s Fight the Trolls campaign.

This week: Our Final Episode of Season 1 of Barely Domesticated!

Re: Ep. 24 – We are working on getting the old Left Hemispheres episodes back up online. Hopefully the should start going live in the next week or so.

Weird Randomness:

This week Jack and Dave talk about the short lifespan of houses in Japan. (Hat tip to Freakonomics), How it’s weird that CVS isn’t going to sell cigarettes anymore, but all the ‘herbal remedies’, sugar, and booze you want, the weird things we westerner’s do with our time, and the trials and tribulations of being made of meat.

For the uninitiated, before Jack started ZXH Creative he edited and co-hosted another Podcast for The Left Hemispheres Blog, the former regulars of which have all been on Barely Domesticated. With the return to TV of Cosmos,  we decided it would be fun to “get the band back together” to celebrate the return of scientific delight on national TV.  Joining Jack this week are Nick (who also illustrated The Miskatonic University Guide to Old Ones Yoga), Adam, and, Steve from our old show for one last romp.

We talk about Cosmos, science & tech, tipping waitstaff, SB1062, and possibly how to get the old episodes back online for people who want them … plus more!

Also, happy St. Patrick’s Day, who supposedly drove the snakes (which never existed) out of Ireland and therefore we get drunk and eat corned beef and cabbage, which doesn’t exist in Ireland ….

Look folks, if you want to observe the Irish tradition with corned beef and cabbage you need to understand that the reason American Irish love corned beef and cabbage is because Irish Immigrants lived next door to Jewish people in New York … so go to your local deli and have a Ruben Sandwich. It’s more correct and frankly yummier. All the same ingredients are there sans carrots if you get one with fries.  Enjoy.

SHOWNOTES UPDATE:

This week’s guest Stephen Sumner would like to add the following corrections to comments he made during the podcast:

• During the recording session, I mentioned one of my all-time favorite films. However, I mistakenly said “Sunlight” instead of Sunshine (2007).
• The EMP Museum in Seattle, Washington is still very much open for business. What differentiates it from the Museum of Science Fiction is that it focuses on music, sci-fi and popular culture, whereas the MOSF will be primarily focused on only sci-fi, with a heavy emphasis on education (Science Technology Engineering Art and Math).

Adam returns to talk with Jack about the Nye/Ham debate, Soylent, and the economics of automotive repair.

Next week Rusty will be back to talk about loss and grieving and genreally coping when things go sideways.

The Night of the Doctor Minisode:

BBC America’s Youtube channel … because the festivities kick off at 7:30pm GMT saturday with a pre-show and post-show from the folks at the Nerdist before and after the big event.

Random aside …. has anyone noticed that in the first episode of the reboot the Doctor was at the Kennedy assassination, and we know from Quantum Leap that so was Sam Beckett … so maybe the Doctor was just evaluating him to see if he was ready to fly the Enterprise? Just a thought.

Also, as promised Rusty was able to get pics of the antique pinball collection we were talking about in episode 6. So here’s some serious old-timey nerd eye-candy for y’all.

No links this week. Next week: Geeking out ahead of the Dr. Who 50th anniversary special with one of my favorite fellow fanboys, and fractal maker extrodanare the mighty Troythulu from My Horrific Elegance and The Call of Troythulu. So be sure and come back for that.

The commercial that made Jack think the Snuggle Bear should be a horror movie character: http://youtu.be/21enL05x0_U?t=26s

Even though this is episode 4 of Barely Domesticated and in the intervening time we’ve graduated, moved across the country (or didn’t), gotten married (or didn’t), had other podcasts (or didn’t), and built careers having Rusty on feels more like a return to form. Though no one ever heard those episodes besides us (and I assure you, that’s probably for the best).

Also, somewhere in the second-half Rusty throws out a joking challenge to our listeners … having known him as long as I have there is no doubt in my mind that if someone actually takes him up on it that he will honor it, for whatever that’s worth. It’s rather silly. But silly is good.

Alright panted primates, enough sentimentalizing let’s get to it. next week Adam is back for the Halloween show so be sure and come back for that. Enjoy the show and thanks for listening.

If you were a listener of my last podcast you need to know: it’s going to be a very different kind of show. Shorter, more frequent episodes. (No more bi-weekly schedules for me!) If there are panel discussions they will be few and far between. This show is going to be about ideas: weird ideas, funny ideas, strange ideas, most importantly entertaining ideas (I hope). Often it will be me and one guest (and yes, the guys from the Left Hemispheres Podcast have all graciously agreed to stop by now and again), sometimes I’ll be flying solo. There’s still a lot of bits and pieces that are sorting themselves out, but I really like the direction this attempt is starting to turn towards.

Content will be very different as well. Listeners of the old show will remember that often we strayed very far off topic. Barely Domesticated will try and alleviate that, not just by having shorter episodes, but by staying mainly to the topics onto which we used to drift. It also won’t be a news review show. I’m also looking into keeping things moving with more skits and set pieces.

That is to say, it should be a fun and pretty geeky show pretty much all of the time.

The show is probably going to start off on a weekly schedule, and if possible I’d like to ramp it up to twice a week, but with trying to sort out other projects that just isn’t going to happen right away.
