FAWcast: Episode 124

[rholtgraves]

Doing something great is different than doing anything at all. Too much of the celebrity name is given for doing nothing.....

1) that is your opinion and as I pointed out before, what you or I think is a celebrity or worthy of celebrity doesn't matter.
2) what constitutes doing 'nothing'? because technically they are doing something. They are appearing on a tv show. Celebrity is mostly about being known. Nothing else.

Why so?

Probably because it was only 35 mins and not 60. What am I supposed to listen to on my way home from work now?

I know the weather is ******, but it's Friday JBurke. Smile a little.

It is gloomy as hell out.... This is Seattle weather....

Dude, this is my opinion, and my opinion matters to me... By nothing I am referencing doing anything of value, reality TV has little to no entertainment value 'imo', thus I refuse to acknowledge them as celebrities. TMZ and the rest of the scum-worthy media outlets, that make people celebrities are what makes this world what it is.

Why so?

Short episode. Talked about ESPN layoffs, drunk driving, death, and how ISU's basketball recruiting efforts haven't been panning out. I did enjoy hearing about Mangino and Coach Campbell though.

Ya shorter episodes get a little annoying, especially when c dub's attitude to start off the episode is basically 'i don't want to be here, let's just knock this out and go'. I've noticed that on a few podcasts.

I'd listen to a 3 hour podcast of some like minded people from the area just BS'n about all sorts of crap. Anything to get through the work day!

edit: not bagging on c-dub at all either as I do enjoy his takes and what he contributes. I also realize he's really busy with so many other things going on, just maybe not announce it when setting the tone for things like it's an obligation. A lot of other popular podcasts/shows do the same thing though.

 

[NickTheGreat]

You know my feelings on the Bachelor. I didn't go to his house to interview him b/c I think the show is ridiculous and you only go on that show for publicity, not to find love.

But I'm not sure how you can say he's not a celebrity. He was the main focus of one of the most watched shows on television for 3 months. Each episode was watched by 8-10 million americans.

I saw earlier this week that this story was the lead off on NBC's "Today Show."

Lots of (alleged) drunk drivers kill people every day and do not make the national news

My apologies.

Yesterday was very rare though. We started at 10:45 and all three had meetings to get to, mine starting at 11:30. Need more hours in the day.

Ya I hear ya. I'll take 30 minutes over skipping the week

Solution: Wait till Friday at 9 pm, get together with some cases of Busch Light and a few bottles of Malort, drink heavily, and then riff for a few hours.

These fellas will be starting a podcast here in a couple weeks and knowing these two, it will be exactly like what you mentioned above. Aaron and Sean are hilarious dudes, much more fun to listen to.

Whenever Mangino is discussed, buttflossing is the first thing that comes to my mind. Welcome to my nightmare

I can't believe Rod Brannan let the butt flossing story get out.....

I feel like they could end up on a Legion of Skanks level with that kind of freedom and time.

 

[kingcy]

On Mangino, you need to check out is twitter feed. It is a lot of him tweeting and retweeting about how great he is.

This. You guys always talk about how much fun it is to sit around, drink, and argue old ISU players merits, so start doing it. That'd be much better than a rushed 30 minutes where you jump from topic to topic
