NOTE: Intro and out-tro were recorded on 9/25, the day of the “garbled recording” on Stennie’s side. Your Humble Editor was not able to fix this, so it remains.

Music: “The Hucklebuck,” performed by Otis Redding, Lee Rocker, and Frank Sinatra.

Episode 159

stennie@hucklebug.com (Bet and Stennie) — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 19:30:42 PDT

NOTE: Our recording cut out when we still had about five minutes left to record, so we started a new session, and in those last five minutes or so the sound is a little garbled on my end. I tried to figure out how to fix it but couldn’t. We also recorded the intro and out-tro to next week’s outtake show at the same time, that is also garbled—but I’ll try to find a fix before next weekend.

Special - Shaun of the Dead DVD Commentary

stennie@hucklebug.com (Bet and Stennie) — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 13:55:42 PDT

Hucklebug Special - Shaun of the Dead commentary. Due to some scheduling conflicts this weekend, we are breaking out our “emergency episode” that we’ve spoken of once or twice. This week’s episode is a DVD commentary for the Edgar Wright/Simon Pegg film Shaun of the Dead, sometimes called the Official Movie of the Hucklebug. You will need a DVD of the movie to listen along—it will probably not make much sense on its own. If you haven’t seen the movie yet, we don’t actually comment on it all that much, so we will barely get in your way. Watch, listen and enjoy. We’ll be back next week with Episode 158.

Music: Queen, “Don’t Stop Me Now,” and “You’re My Best Friend.”

Five Videos I Love and Therefore You Should See

stennie@hucklebug.com (Bet and Stennie) — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 16:33:45 PDT

Hello, Bet here. Stennie is taking a much needed break right now. I’m full of DelMonico steak and baked potato, and salad (and I have lots left over for later), so let’s let her walk and stretch and rest. She posted her five favorite You Tube videos a while back and we’ve been so busy I haven’t had a chance to look at them all. I’ll head that way after posting.

By the way, the TV Gods are not smiling upon us today, there’s not a blasted thing on the tube. And I can prove this to you by telling you I currently have the television tuned to - Lawrence Welk. Yes! Lawrence Welk! And it’s even a black and white one. So don’t be surprised if I fall…. clean…. asle…. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Huh? What?

Oh, You Tube. OK, I don’t know that these are my bar none favorite videos, but they’re all in my “Favorited” section, and they’re ones I do actually go back and watch with regularity.

Let’s go!

1. All The Rage. Yeah, it’s the new You Tube darling, but I can’t help it. Within 10 seconds I was hooked, and this video brings a happiness into my heart I just cannot explain. Pure joy. Hope I don’t get tired of it or tarnished.

2. And It Came To Pass. I’ve laughed hysterically at this for at least 10 years. I had it on self-recorded video, lost it over the years, and rediscovered it on You Tube. Brilliant comedy.

3. The Start Of It All. Ever wonder how exactly Sherman and Peabody found each other, and where they lived before they came to live with me? Wonder no more!

4. Ouch! I don’t think this one will ever get old. If only it would have happened to Dick Cheney. In the face. Turn about, you know.

5. Masks! This was actually Mr Middlebrow’s first, he gave me the link. But I love it dearly. I even used a snippet of its music in one of my Comfy Chair videos. I dont’ know anything about the rest of the movie, but I don’t think it matters much.

So there, see you 30!

stennie@hucklebug.com (Bet and Stennie) — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 15:53:32 PDT

blogathon-19.mp3: In which we catch up on many shout-outs, and special guest Deep Fat Friar gives us a Middle English rap!

Some pictures - Podcastathon at Stennie’s

stennie@hucklebug.com (Bet and Stennie) — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 15:23:49 PDT

All righty, Bet’s off on a little dinner break and here I am on my own, so I thought I’d post a few pictures to show you what life’s like around Stennieville during the Blogathon. Something screwy is going on while I try to embed pictures, so please just click the links to see them.

First up, I’ve mentioned that I’ve been watching the Dish Earth channel. Here’s what it looks like when the Earth is “full”:
DishEarth.jpg

And here’s Buster, chillin’ in the bathroom, with his paws properly crossed:
BusterPaws.jpg

I even managed to get Boo to sit still for a shot—here he is in bed, where I’d rather be:
BooBed.jpg

Finally, here is the nerve center of the Hucklebug: Command Central, Desk 1:
Comm1.jpg

And Command Central, Desk 2:
Comm2.jpg

You should be able to see all five things I could grab from the previous episode. Actually, should be easy since I piled them all up as I was naming them, except the GBABOT.

We will be back in 30 minutes! Hope everyone is having a good day!
