    my first script is percolating in my head, it is Night Night with Joel VanGravel (name/gender of host up for debate)

    first portion will be the monologue, which will all be jokes about or pertaining to Joel VanGravel's exwife/husband/whatevs

    second portion will be the guest segment, and it turns out the guest is joel's ex, who is not too happy about the monologue

    third portion is still up in the air, traditionally it would be a musical guest or standup but it could also be an animal handler or i was thinking like a child who won the national spelling bee or something having to listen to these people fight

     

    SO i will start writing in earnest tomorrow prob, if you think of any sweet iceburns on exes for the monologue please post them

     

    i think this is a good format. it's very loose and will enable a collage of forum collabz.

     

    my two cents on monologue jokes/iceburns ... maybe the punchline is the laugh track and the jokes are just awful with a really loud laugh track that just gets more and more raucous ??

     

    ..so then i said 'hey that's no german shepard, THAT'S MY WIFE!'

     

    ALSO i think there needs to be a house band only they're fucking terrible and the host goes to them for all kinds of segue music.

     

    the band could have a name.

     

    and a paul shaeffer type set-up guy.

     

    maybe the paul shaeffer type set-up guy is southern and is asked to weigh in on topics from time to time a la engineer cody

     

    maybe he has a catch phrase a la 'now i aint no big city lawyer but i know that i didn evolve from no monkay'

     

    do ur thing tho, i'm just bored and procrastinating. plus the weed delivery guy is lazy as fuck and he doesn't start working 'til 2.

     

    edit: bozos i liked that chair sex too. this is totally rando but when i was in highschool, my dad (who's hilarious btw.) referred to any and all sex that me or my sisters were having in our house as 'freak nasties.' he also called me 'dude' exclusively and would be like "DUDE, WE COULD HEAR UR FREAK NASTIES UPSTAIRS AND I DONT WANNA HEAR THAT SHIT" or DUDE YOU WILL BE SLEEPING IN SEPARATE BEDS THIS WEEKEND AND THERE WILL BE NO FREAK NASTIES "CAUSE WE CANT DISPRESPECT HER PARENTS RULES!! "DO YOUR OLD DAD A FAVOR AND NO FREAK NASTIES IN THE CABIN IT UPSETS YOUR MOTHER" "YES YOU CAN SLEEP ON THE BOAT BUT NO FREAK NASTIES IN OUR BED" etc. etc. etc.

    that is interesting. maybe your friend could make you a computer gf like in weird science

     

    it might sound like a good idea, but then you'll probably just be totally in love for like 3 years until she breaks up with you and has a new boyfriend that's really funny and nice and you see her at the beach literally EVERY TIME you go and it's a HUGE BEACH and you always manage to cross paths at the EXACT SAME SPOT on the boardwalk even though you pick a different spot to sit with your towel every time hoping that you won't run into her but secretly hoping that you will because THIS TIME you're with a really hot babe and when you and the babe are deflating this GIANT INFLATABLE SWAN you'll notice that there is A LOT of sexual tension which is great because she has agreed to come watch the US V. PORTUGAL game at ur house so you hurry up and set off down the boardwalk because the game is going to start in an hour and YOU SEE YOUR EX COMPUTER GF CHANGING UNDERNEATH A BAGGY T-SHIRT and she gives you a hug but she looks like a ghost 'cause the girl your with has a SMOKING BODY and she runs off to catch up with her new nice boyfriend and he's carrying a cooler only he has to stop and rest every five feet 'cause its too heavy! WHAT A WEAKLING!!!!!

     

    it's not as bad as it sounds tho, you'll barely even cry when she dumps you.

    i'm trying to write something but am not veri fast and am kinda a perfectionist which means it will probs never get done.

     

    ....BUT.... i freelance doing audio post-production for film (i build these nature soundscapes for a sleepytime smart tv app).i have access to HUGE sfx libraries and am veri fast in pro-tools, so I could offer my services in editing everything together and doing musical interludes/sfx...

    1. you used to live with dude from cerebral ballzy!?!?! Holy shit we need to be friends like fast.

     

    2. Animal chin is probably the best skate vid. I'm more of a 'video days' kind of guy but I get it.

    2a. Sho Sho bro, you are awesome.

     

    3. I would normally never do this because I don't know if this music is "good" or "bad" but yeah.

     

    pack of strays... this was once a thing...

     

    http://packofstrays.bandcamp.com/

     

    A). this is really good burdrulz. i added the first 3 tracks to the lo-fi lunch rotation at the radio station so they'll get played sporadically in the afternoons for the next few months :)/>.

    B)/>. i had 'video days' on vhs.

    C) based on precious conversations we've had about music, i think you'd dig this compilation -- specifically track 17 'growing up is really hard to do.' http://gnartapes.ban...album/gnar-fm-2

    D) the honor thing was a total craigslist coincidence when i was 20 but he's tight with the so so glos/titus andronicus crew so i see him at shows all the time and we'll shoot the shit over a cigarette or whatever but that's pretty much the extent of the relationship. he's one of those dudes that never breaks character...

    E) Thelonius Junk is probly the second coolest person on these boards after gnarly riffs and he's been doing a new character lately that I really dig. Also, my favorite encino man quote is "you see my girlfriend over there?? you see her?? DONT LOOK AT HER MAAAAAN!"

    F) I've made a few bedroom records this year but i'm too shy to post them. Facebook friends might see me release a rattlesnake country record in the next month or so. I released a rap record a few years ago that I still think is kinda cool and you can check it out here if u wants... http://wino.bandcamp.com/ ps. the line about snorting my dad's ashes was written long before earl came out with doris btw..

    G) RLLY sorry for hijacking the forums this week -- I feel like they're not as funny when everyone is talking about music instead of making funny good jokes all the time.

     

    love charlie.

     

    EDIT: i'm a big weird al fan and i do a bit on my show where we interview a band with the song 'Albuquerque' playing in the background and every time they start to answer a question we interrupt them by saying 'wait a sec, this is my favorite part and then ride up the wierd al...' sometimes its really awkward and the bands get pissed.. the interview starts at the 6 minute mark but there are also a few live performances from a cool band in this file >> https://soundcloud.c...art-feat-washer SRRY 4 all the shameless plugs but i feel like we're all friends..

    That's cool, I love stories about pockets of creativity in unexpected places where a bunch of people collaborate and all get big at the same time, like Wham City in Baltimore or Saddle Creek in Omaha. Next up is the fucking Hollywood Handbook forums! I'm calling it now!

     

    There's also a cool punk scene going on in San Jose right now and if you like punk you should maybe check out my friends' band. They're going on tour and I also wouldn't recommend them if I didn't think they were really good - http://www.punknews.org/bands/hardgirls

     

    this is great. i'm very into punk. like TOO into punk. i used to live with honor titus (cerebral ballzy) and big ups are like bffs or whatevr.

    this video is the shit because its a mashup of clips from animal chin -- the best sk8 vid of all time. and here's this one

     

    kk i'm done for the week. please don't waste a like on this bullshit post.

    I would love to collab with you guys.

     

     

    the jordy cabrewing clip was a big success on the air btw...but i bomb on a segment right after the cabrewing segment so i'm too embarrassed to post the link on herrr.

     

     

    This is really good so far B-rulz. I also saw on fb that your friend(?) was in a video with Yoni Wolf, which I thought was really cool. I'm def a big fan of Why and other anticon stuff. I also want to shout out to Showshowbro and give thanks for the music reqs he posted while ago. I went to a Burger beach bash thing a few weekends ago that was fun and I would have overlooked if I hadn't checked out some of the bands based on that post.

     

    jealous that you get to be a part of that scene. exploring record labels like lolipop, gnar tapes, and rubber brothers will probably put you on some gems as well. THIS was a funny week, where we play tons of gnar tapes bands (the first track is a joke...) http://www.newtownra...er-scout-62114/

     

    i'd also like to collab. with forums homies. i'm working on a radio drama, but if anyone is ever bored on saturday morning and wants to call in to my radio show and crack jokes that would be fun. details on facebook for my facebook franz..

    BTW guys sorry for my brief absence I've been traveling for a long time. I'm in Sardinia now (not giving you any more information than that... LOL! internet stalkers). I flew business class on Swiss Air from SFO to ZRH (then some garbage regional airline from ZRH to OLB), and I thought maybe Sean and Hayes could do a segment where they talk about how to pretend to be fancy/upper-class, for people who will never really "get it". For example, what do you do with the hot towel they give out?

    Also maybe they could do a segment where they share time-zone strategies. This is a 9-hour difference for me. How do you guys normally deal with big changes like that "Grace"fully?

     

    (there's an inside joke for Sean in the above comment...)

     

    follow up question --

     

    don't you hate all the flashy 'new money' playboys on these boards??

     

    i'm from the 'old money' side of the boards where we don't need to talk about our gold teeth 'cause everyone can just see us smiling at jennifer anniston types.

     

    ps. the hamptons are for the summer months.

     

    pps. i'm there, josh. let's rub knuckles or something real intimate like that.

    Do you think Sean and Hayes ever talk about us?

     

     

    I hope so.

     

    back before gnarly riffs was even born, sean and hayes listened to my podcast. we called it the reality show show show. either way, joe and i called in for the first live RSS taping and they knew who we were and had listened to the recording and explained about us on the air. we bombed sooo hard (mainly joe..). either way, that was cool. thanks guys.

     

    on the radio show, we have a weekly segment called 'are sean and hayes listening?' they've actually been very responsive -- THANKS GUYS!!!!

     

    hrmmmmm, okay so nobody cares but i'm going to weigh in on every and all things that happened when i was chasing wild rainbows (not tim's dad's band wild rainbows -- the trout fish..)

     

    A) MBOP you can't sweat the likes 'cause some ppl can't even catch an RSS reffy and some people are into this kinda quippy non-sequitur stuff that's faaaaaaar too clever for guys like us.

     

    B) Ur script was sooo funny that it kinda discouraged me from writing mine. I had 1 read-through and promptly crumpled up my script into a ball, went to the fucking park, and cashed a satisfying jumper.

     

    C) It's a halloween-special murder-mystery radio-drama called homegrown tomatoes: the curious case of the wet spaghetti.

     

    D) If anyone ever wants to chill in brooklyn or manhattan or W/E i'm with-it and p fun irl. Or if anyone's in town and they wanna be a guest on our show that would be fun...

     

    E) Gnarly Riffs is a great handle and I expect big things from her. It's very nice to have another girl on here but don't make the mistake of falling for me like the others. Some of the girls on here use bad language and say things like 'LET ME BANG, BRO,' and i hope you have the good judgement not to say bad words like bro.

     

    love charlie.

    We should record our parts and put it together like a radio show. That would be p funny, right?

     

    BTW haven't read ep 2 yet (at work still also my parents are visiting me currently) but I assume it's great.

     

    Did you include David Galehouse?

     

    EDIT: Just read the screenplay. It was p funny. Could use some punch-up though. Also maybe some more lines from TIM TREESE would be worthwhile.

     

    way ahead of you tim--i've been working on a radio drama. i'm thinking about casting a 'zorro type' as the narrator(s).

     

    i'll probably post it on an upcoming page 3 but it might not be ready for next week. i'm really busy because i'm a friggin' plant doctor that's in nursing school and for whatever reason, i'm trying really hard to make 'cincinnati' happen.

     

    edit: so glad this didn't land on page 4

    People's "like"-threshold's have a really wide range here. Is there any official guidance on what should be liked?

     

    I'm really uncomfortable not being told what to like, because left to my own devices I end up liking Garden State and The Eagles and stuff and then people have to tell me that I shouldn't like those things because they're lame.

     

    YESSSSSS! FUCK THE EAGLES.

    On a side note though, the eagles suck minus bernie leadon who sang and played lead for the flying burrito brothers..
