NickComan.COM GETS GIRL ON PODCAST – 2 Part Landmark Event

Didn't Need Plastic Surgery

Screw LeBron James. He and “his talents” made a pretty short sighted decision tonight. If he were confident that he was really the greatest, he would have stayed in Cleveland and stood for something meaningful, or gone to NYC and been the greatest Knick ever in the capital of the world… but he went to Miami to win titles that won’t matter on an All-Star team (and the Lakers are still better).

But that wasn’t even the biggest news of the day; that tile goes to what happened on the NickComan.com podcast. We broke the gender gap… pretty much as much “change” as when Obama was elected. Sure, my mom has been a guest before, but this was different… and we went all out with it.

Eliza (Jane) Crawford joined me, and the plan was… well there was no plan. We were just going to talk and see what happened. The result was an 80 minute 2 parter that follows the following progression: New Haven -> Hipsters -> TRL -> MTV -> Reality TV – > Celebrity Culture -> People Watching -> New York -> The South -> Getting Wasted in the South -> Drinking -> Drinking and Growing Up -> Growing Up -> The Future. Could we have covered that much ground if we had actually planned the thing? Hell No.

Eliza and I agree on a lot (though she finds hipsters attractive, and I do not), but what we agree on most strongly: Kristin Cavallari.

Hope Yall Enjoy it.

Likely will be back with a pod tomorrow to rip LeBron…

Video Quickhit 1/20: Liz Hasselbeck, Heidi Montag, Tennis Chicks

Today I took a different angle on the video quickhit – used YouTube’s annotation feature to make it more like “popup video” (to cover up the fact that I’m still figuring out the “on-camera” thing). Hope you enjoy

Let me know what you think…

Breaking the Video Barrier…

In an effort to add “another dimension” to the content here on NickComan.com… and because I got a FlipHD Camera for Christmas (real sick except for the battery life – particularly good audio actually), I’m going to be working on entering a new medium… video. Some stuff just works best in the written word… other stuff in audio… and other stuff too on film. Point being – the more “content options” that you can offer… the better the content will be. With that said, I’m pretty new to video – so try to put up with me as I move beyond Blair Witch Quality video towards Skinamax or Local Car Commercial level work… Should be fun coming up with premises for video stuff in the future, but for now we are gonna keep it simple: 2 minute video quick hits… daily or so – basically me just talking about 2-3 things that are going on in the world that day (me making a fool out of myself)… that maybe I couldn’t talk about in a podcast and work better on film. Today: My quickhits are: Tara Reid in Playboy and Scott Brown in Massechusetts…

Multiple podcast posts later today… 2 New already up on Itunes ft Bertoli and Scheid respectively… Major NFL post also in the works…

Nick
