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.

First of all, lets all pour one out for Barry Bonds’ unofficial official unofficial retirement today – without a doubt the greatest baseball player that I have ever watched (granted he was on steroids, but the point is still relevant and he should be a hall of famer).

So now, links:

Related Soccer Site to which I was introduced by Alex Goldsmith: http://footytube.com – The Best way to watch Soccer highlights (I would argue that soccer games “condense” better than other sports in highlights because all of the action is part of 2 continuous units of action as opposed to a large series of separate actions like baseball, football, etc. )

Threw this on facebook courtesy of Garver, but http://www4.uwm.edu/FLL/linguistics/dialect/maps.html – Really thorough website delineating different pronunciations of common words around the country – funny to see where people say “korter” vs “qwarter”.
