While at PodCamp Ohio 2, I decided to practice some Parkour at the Ohio State University Campus. This didn’t go as well as I had hoped. And my friends Jeremy, Cliff Ravenscraft (from GSPN.tv and Podcast Answer Man, and Daniel Johnson Jr. (from How I Got My Job) were my uncompassionate witnesses.

Please help promote this podcast by telling someone about it, and especially by clicking (and getting your friends to click) the new Clean Casts button:

I plan to do a future episode with my housebuddies about our funny pet peeve or the funny trademarks we each have. If you’d like to share your own roommate/housemate/whatever pet peeves or funny stories for our show, please leave a voicemail on my listener line (903) 231-2221, or email [email protected].

I should start Podcasters Anonymous for podcasters who need help not podfading. But I refuse to podfade, especially after speaking three times at PodCamp Ohio 2! In this update, I share my recording from a recent stand-up comedy performance at a local church.

* What I do during and after the hand-shaking time of church services.

* How I feel about and answer “How are you?” questions.

* How people in the Midwest, West Virginia, California, and Texas might react to hitting a deer with their cars.

* I switched from a $230 Braun shaver to an edged razor, with no instructions!

If you’d like to help me find more outlets for some stand-up comedy performances, you have tips for helping me improve my voice acting, or you want to respond to this episode, do it here in the comments, call the listener line at (903) 231-2221, or email [email protected]

Thanks for listening!

Since Cliff and Stephanie of GSPN.tv didn’t do their Weekly Lost Podcast this week, my friend Jeremy and I decided to fill in for them. In this episode, we discussed the following clips:

We also speculated on what might be in the final episodes of season five, as well as the story arcs of season six.

The music that many of us are familiar hearing before Cliff’s live shows is from Captain and the Kings.

We were also honored to have Smokey with us to answer some questions in a brief interview.

Please don’t expect anything serious!

This episode is not a giant advertisement! It’s just me and my housebuddy comparing Natural Brew Vanilla Cream Soda with the incumbent A&W Sparkling Vanilla Cream Soda. I also challenge you to put me in contact with someone from A&W. If it’s someone that I can talk to about a sponsership, then I’m offering a reward of five boxes of ramen noodles (your choice of flavors).

In this Random Noodle Update:

* I introduce you to my housebuddy Mike and we discuss my proper title, “Lord of the Ren”; as well as why we call him the “housebuddy.” (Yes, I registered LordoftheRent.com.)

* We talk about Mike’s “on-a-whim” trip from Cincinnati to somewhere in New York and beyond.

* Why you shouldn’t dive into toilets.

Like I say each time, please leave a comment or email [email protected], or leave a voicemail at (903) 231-2221. You can also follow me on Twitter. Mike had a Twitter account once—he got it on a whim—but he never updates it and doesn’t remember what it was.

And in case you’re wondering, the closing sound effect was courtesy of Mike.

A lot has happened during the hiatus between the last episode of the Ramen Noodle™ and now.

Please welcome me back to the podcasting saddle! I’ve had good reasons for being on hiatus: primarily, I test for my karate black belt this Saturday, March 21!

To show my commitment to this podcast and the new podcast I’m about to launch, I purchased some new equipment from Cliff Ravenscraft of GSPN and Podcast Answer Man (he’s not paying me to say that, I’m just doing it out of genuine gratefulness), and I give a live unboxing in the show!

And like I always say, please comment on the website or email me, rate the show in iTunes, follow me on Twitter, produced and sponsored by D.Joseph Design, blah, blah, blah. Okay, I want to get this thing posted!

A cup of tea during my cold that didn’t go so well.

CAUTION: If cold-based noises gross you out, then you probably don’t want to listen to this episode.

If you enjoy the Ramen Noodle™, please leave a comment on the website, leave a rating and review in iTunes, or email me your questions or comments. And you can leave all sanity behind by following me on Twitter.

I have my third cold in two months, but because I’m insanely dedicated to my insanity, I decided that the show must go on! You may regret hearing how bad I sound when I have a cold.

If you enjoy the Ramen Noodle™, please leave a comment on the website, a rating and review in iTunes, or email me your questions to be answered in a future episode (like Kory did!). You can also stalk me on Twitter.

Join me as I celebrate and honor the potentially last moment of silence before my housemate arrives.

No, it really won’t be bad. You know I’m just having fun. He’ll laugh, too, when he hears it.
