Barely Domesticated

Short show this week Gang because the Phoenix Comic Convention took a lot out of us, but we did have time to do a couple clips and we’re looking forward to getting the ball rolling on our new format so we’ve got some clips to demonstrate the new direction we’re heading in.

Also, script and clip submissions are now open! Have a skit, clip, or … well frankly anything funny that you’d like to be a part of the Alt-reality of BD? Details in the show about how to make that happen!

Much thanks to everybody we met at the con, it was epic this year.

As always you can follow Jack on the twitter @ledflashing, and Nick @nicksabot

This week we talk about some of the great happeneings that will be going on in Phoenix at the comic book convention that starts on Thrusday. Jack offers some tips for those coming to Phoenix from out of town and don’t know what a Phoenix June is like.

Also, we finish up with some brief discussion on the upcoming show format change.

This week Adam returns as Jack starts to gear up for the upcoming Phoenix Comic Convention for a talk about all things superhero media related. Plus, stand up from Andrew Hall.

Jack welcomes Dave back to the show to kick-off Season 2 of Barely Domesticated.

Topics:

SCiO, the kickstarter IR Spectrometer … quite possibly the neatest geek gadget of the year.

Soylent is Shipping! … and a lot of people are still freaked out by it.

The FCC hates you. There are 3 months of public comments to try and bend them to the will of the people. Do your thing, internet.

And last but not least, Patents. This week Amazon Patented taking pictures on white backgrounds. Which is crazy. We talk about that and other patent issues that come to mind … like Adam Carolla’s Fight the Trolls campaign.

Cosmos is back and for one episode only so is The Left Hemispheres Podcast!

For the uninitiated, before Jack started ZXH Creative he edited and co-hosted another Podcast for The Left Hemispheres Blog, the former regulars of which have all been on Barely Domesticated. With the return to TV of Cosmos,  we decided it would be fun to “get the band back together” to celebrate the return of scientific delight on national TV.  Joining Jack this week are Nick (who also illustrated The Miskatonic University Guide to Old Ones Yoga), Adam, and, Steve from our old show for one last romp.

We talk about Cosmos, science & tech, tipping waitstaff, SB1062, and possibly how to get the old episodes back online for people who want them … plus more!

Also, happy St. Patrick’s Day, who supposedly drove the snakes (which never existed) out of Ireland and therefore we get drunk and eat corned beef and cabbage, which doesn’t exist in Ireland ….

Look folks, if you want to observe the Irish tradition with corned beef and cabbage you need to understand that the reason American Irish love corned beef and cabbage is because Irish Immigrants lived next door to Jewish people in New York … so go to your local deli and have a Ruben Sandwich. It’s more correct and frankly yummier. All the same ingredients are there sans carrots if you get one with fries.  Enjoy.
