Last week, we celebrated our 10-year wedding anniversary by visiting Las Vegas. We stayed at a hotel shaped like a pyramid! Jen had a piece of gluten-free carrot cake! Jen had lots of drinks! We hit it big at the blackjack table! (And by "blackjack table," we really mean the $0.25 electronic blackjack machine.) Annoying salespeople! Lunch with Diablo! Big lights! Elvis Electric! Awkward selfies! More! And more!

Shiny, shiny details:

"Las Vegas" is technically unincorporated?

Jen's cell phone does weird things to our recordings.

It's really important to get to the airport two hours before a flight. Not really.

Santa Maria Airport = stuck in the 80's.

The TSA took my face wash. Also, it was stupid of me to bring it.

Amtrak = no TSA.

Vending machine coffee. Always the best.

Boarding thru the aft hatch of a plane is sorta like climbing into a spaceship.

The Las Vegas airport is bigger than our local airports.

You have to go thru several buildings to catch a taxi at the Las Vegas airport.

Some Las Vegas cabs show weird "advertainment" videos on infinite loops.

Las Vegas. They just wanna get all your money before you leave.

Annoying salespeople inside casinos look like official security staff.

They'll just put a piano guy there while you're waiting in line because, Vegas.

Inclinators. They ain't elevators.

We stayed at Motel 6 the first time we went to Vegas.

Las Vegas buffets = insane.

Jen always needs naps.

The Luxor has wifi but only on the first floor.

It's not good to turn off air conditioners in Las Vegas.

Don't walk across streets in Las Vegas unless you want to die.

Jen got her picture taken with Elvis Electric.

There are three Starbucks shops inside the Luxor.

Alcohol to go? No problem in Vegas!

Gluten-free pizza, french fries and wine. Happy Anniversary to us!

Slot machines aren't fun.

Jen makes gamblers mad.

Walking around the Luxor is like running thru Ironforge.

We turned $5.00 into $7.00 by playing electronic Blackjack.

Boarding-pass apps for airports actually work.

Some people on airplanes are weird.

Our airplane broke as we were flying back to California but it wasn't serious.

Jen is running a crowd funding experiment via Beacon. Please support the project if you'd like to learn more about Common Core.

Jen is also contributing to Bubblews.

We're not live but we're also not dead. We're un-live and we're preparing for an exciting trip to Las Vegas! But we decided to make a pod before we leave. Tech problems, we got 'em (again). Apple's conspiracy against us continues! We have now soundproofed our closet so we can use it as a vocal booth. We recently celebrated my birthday, which included a nice dinner and airplanes. We responded to some listener comments. Jen wants to see shipping containers and pretty lights in Vegas. I want to go to the mob museum. Nobody wants to see Carrot Top or Criss Angel: Mindfreak.

#BuyJenADrink:

New segment idea: What's wrong with Jen today.

I'm obsessed with the audio levels now, thanks to a comment we received.

We hung some Audimute blankets in our closet to make a soundproof booth:.

I'm worried that the vocal booth may be too warm inside but Jen's always cold so it might be OK.

Apple has broken Apple Mail again. Also, Apple SuperDrives suck.

Our internet connection is slow and computers can be bandwidth hogs.

According to Nathan, it is possible to leave an iTunes review thru the iOS Podcasts app.

We've finished watching "Orange Is The New Black" season two. Nathan pointed out that most of what's in the TV show didn't come from the book.

A comment we received lead to another discussion on cars and potential cars we might own in the future.

Jen made this amazing piece of art as a birthday gift for me: 

I got a lot of birthday greetings online and Tiggr sent me a Starbucks card.

We had a nice birthday dinner at the Spirit of San Luis Restaurant.

We played Diablo III using characters that hadn't played together before.  Hear more Diablo talk on Shattered Soulstone.

You can donate to the show a few different ways, now including Bitcoin!

A list Jen made on the No Market site was picked up by ThinkProgress.

Man, we're getting old. Don't believe us? Just listen to this pod! We spent a lot of time talking about toothbrushes and shopping coupons. Still don't believe us? We also talked about new bedroom curtains! Some of this old-person talk is relative to the new business we're launching, but some of it's just because we're old. Last week was Independence Day here in 'Merica. We've got some explosive news related to that, as well as an analysis of the country's favorite 4th of July jams. Also, we read some iTunes reviews and go over a little bit of other listener feedback. And MmmPasta Syndrome.

More details:

Our new business venture: A hydra with multiple, specialized heads.

It's hard recording audio when everything outside is noisy.

Jen has the gift of sleepy boos. I don't.

TWiT shows are good for falling asleep to.

We ordered some blackout curtains.

I'm skeptical about online reviews.

Our air conditioner now looks like it's wearing a bonnet.

We have a big box in our living room. It's been there a long time.

CVS gives you enough coupons to wear them as a sash.

My toothbrush was growing a mold colony.

Jen doesn't do "traditional scrapbooking."

Jen knows a lot about coupons.

Realty TV might not be real?

Important decisions about toothbrush colors are made.

Custom toothbrushes: A million-dollar business idea.

Jen was one of 1.5 babillion podcasters interviewed on Realm Maintenance episode 100.

We read a comment from Nathaniel and read some iTunes reviews.

The birth of a show. That's when you make pod babies.

In honor of 'Merica's birthday, we read an article about a guy who lost his hands when some fireworks exploded while he was holding the fireworks.

We also looked at a list of our country's favorite 4th of July songs.

Hyper Nonsense! We are the pod that comes to you straight from the heart of California. San Luis Obispo (Sanluiton) to be exact. On this exciting episode, we talk about how The Man is sticking it to us for starting our own business. I had a cool "customer service" experience on behalf of a local musician. We talked about "binge-watching" of TV shows and why we don't do it. We honored the mystical land of Canadia with a special performance of O, Canadia. We wonder how it'd be possible for Hyper Nonsense to become the first podcast on Mars. Ceiling-breaking cupcake-eating bears, we got 'em. The most annoying phrases that we're all overusing? We got those, too.

#blessed:

Cornbread: Ain't nothing wrong with that.

We've recorded four episodes in four weeks. Congratulate us!

I don't consider myself unemployed. I consider myself pre-retired.

I have a Starbucks gold card but no retirement fund. Priorities!

We now have an officially filed LLC and an $800 bill from the state of California.

I want to create my own tax-free buffer zone to live in.

If you declare yourself as someone's son via Twitter, is it a binding contract?

Hyper Nonsense: Fast-forwardable since 2006.

I bought the new album by Jody Mulgrew and then explained how it was delivered.

Nathaniel Lott sent in a magnatiel drawing based on something that was said in a previous episode.

In honor of Canadia Day, I sang the Canadian National Anthem.

Hyper Nonsense: First pod on Mars?

We read some listener feedback and played our first voicemail.

We're watching "Orange Is The New Black" but not in a bingey way.

DVD sets of TV series >> VHS sets of TV series.

Matt is unbeatable at Words With Friends. (AKA: I'm North Korea.)

Jen found a story about a bear that fell thru a skylight and ate cupcakes before it was killed.

We finished the show with a list of six commonly used phrases that are annoying.

Some somber news to report, including a diagnosis of pterodacylism (with random outbursts of pterodactyl speak). We recap our experience at the Classic Car Show in Pismo Beach, CA. That lead to a lengthy discussion about the humanities (?) and the declining nature of car culture in America. We speculate on why some people who ride buses are some combination of anxious/depressed/sad.  We talk about how gullwing car doors are cool but deadly. We review a sorta nautical-themed eatery. We went over the feedback we've received since the last show. We read an article about "bedtime procrastination." And more!

Bulleted points in a list:

Pterodactylism. I've got it.

California = America, perfected.

We tried recording this show a couple times already.

There's no target day of the week for new shows, but it might be Thursday (America time).

All we care about is maps.

We went to the Pismo Beach car show.

We rode the bus. And a trolley (bus).

Some people who ride buses are depressed.

There's no innovation left in cars other than making smaller/more efficient.

Generation Y is broke and they don't care about houses or cars.

I didn't have no fancy learnin's.

Gullwing doors: an obsession that could be deadly.

Our car is 20 years old. We may only ever buy one more car.

What is the proper placement of a flux capacitor?

We at ate Chipwrecked. It was good.

Overall mouse-click report: No one can hear it.

We have a new voicemail line.

Our announcer is an Australian cow called Moogyver.

I was wrong about my first domain name.

My assumptions about Apple screwing up TextEdit have been verified.

The show isn't really listed in New & Noteworthy. Help out by leaving a review.

"Bedtime procrastination." It's a thing.

We've done it! Yes, it's true. We've successfully doubled the number of episodes we've produced so far. In honor of this milestone, we've decided to end the show. Just kidding! How could we quit now? We've got listeners leaving us comments, tweets, even calling us at home in the middle of the night! We've got new audio gear and we're happy to tell you about it, even if we do have "more money than sense" in buying all of this stuff. We also discovered that the Australian prime minister has apparently been listening to our pods for years. Star Wars references! We got those, too. And daring helicopter-based escapes from Canadian prisons.

Welcome to our very first podcast ever! That we've ever recorded...? Maybe not. In this episode, we recount our history in podcasting going back to January/2005. We talk about the state of our work situation and how we're going thru the process of starting our own business. We encounter a small technical glitch with the recording (sorry!) and then we finish off with a fun news item about drunks burning down a pizza parlor.
