Day 2,393: Zonked

Holy crap, I am wiped the fuck out.

And all I did was work all day and then podcast. Jesus. Lol.

Podcasting does take it out of you, though. Or, rather, me. I know it’s true for Josh, too. It’s exhausting. In the best freaking way.

I’m that very happy, content exhausted right now. I had a very, very productive day today. That’s a little surprising given I went to bed an hour late last night because of checking out the algae blooms. I wasn’t really tired during the day, though, nor did I...

Day 2,394: Red Tide

Off day today.

My writing time was spent debating and thinking about political stuff, which was…consuming, I guess. It all ended well, but it was…consuming.

Work was great. And we went out to Marina Del Rey to see if we could catch the bioluminescent algae that’s been blooming and making the waves light up in electric blue, but alas, I think the bloom is over now. We had a recent spate of cool, rainy, gloomy weather, and those blooms apparently run on sunlight.

It was still gorgeous. I ...

Day 2,393: Odinson

About half of the Marvel movies are really good.

That’s what I realized today. In each of the phases, three of the six are good. Many of them very good, and a few truly excellent.

In the first phase, it’s Iron Man, Captain America’s first movie, and Avengers. In the second, it’s Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Ant-Man. In the third phase, it’s Civil War, the first Spider-Man (which we watched the second half of today and I realized it’s one of my favorites of the entire MCU…I ...

Day 2,392: The Move

Moved Two Guys One Trek over to a new podcast provider today.

We’ve spent the last four years with SoundCloud, but they’re not the easiest to use for podcasting. They’re better just as a website/player. They did well for us up to this point, but we run Film School over at Libsyn, and they’re podcast-only. Like, that’s all they do. And because of that, they have all the features. PLUS…once I get all our episodes queued up and ready to go, I can downgrade our hosting plan with them and it’s goi...

Two Guys One Trek Season 4 is LIVE!

Star Trek gets ANIMATED!

We’re so pleased and excited to announce that the fourth season of Two Guys One Trek has begun! We’re doing this season a little differently:

An episode from Star Trek: The Animated Series will be released every Monday this summer, starting with the series premier “Beyond The Farthest Star,” which comes out today. We figured that would spread the love out a bit longer than releasing everything all at once lik...
