Stuff & Suggestions #4: I Don’t Use a Stylus!

We get a bit weirder and wilder with this one. Dom's fixated on doo-wop. Lita tells us about her research. Kevin forgets B.D. Wong was in Mulan. Chris returns to his man-crush Jack Bauer. We get a letter from Sweden. Someone googled for "Sporn Games". Dom doesn't use a stylus. And somehow we got excited over soup. Hmmmmm....

Intro Music: The Longest Time as performed by The S-Words.

Outro Music: Theme from Tetris, McVaffeQuasi Ultimix by djpretzel.

    Hayate no Gotoku is awesome. Definitely looking forward to the second season.

    Also, seconding that Sayonara, Zetsubou Sensei recommendation.

  2. SeintMyon says:

    Great stuff, had a lot of laughs.

    I'm happy to see mention of Hayate and Zetsubou Sensei. Being Hayate's my favorite manga and SZS is one of my favorite anime series, hopefully soon to be one of my favorite manga series too now that I've started buying volumes.

  3. Dom says:

    Yukio Mishima! That's his name!

  4. Dom says:

    As a note, I am now finding conflicting information about Korobeiniki - either the guy is peddling his wares to a pretty girl in a rye field, or he's waiting in the rye field for a girl to "peddle" him her "wares".

    Does anyone who speaks Russian have a source for us?

    • Jeff says:

      I know absolutely nothing about Korobeiniki's history, nor can I speak a single word of Russian. But I do have an awesome tangent about the song.

      Several years back (2002, maybe?), I went to an Ozma show. Right in the middle of their set, they stop, and Ryen says "All right, now we're going to do a cover." And they played Korobeiniki. In awesome nerd-rock glory.

      It was pretty much the greatest three minutes of my life.

    Just to underline that MY IDEA GOT SECONDED. (see comments on last episode)

  6. Cybik says:

    Another contribution from me - but this time, maybe useful!

    You should add "Host: Dominic Nguyen/Gâh" in tags, since "Gâh" is a way of referring to Dom. (Just saying. Some MT fans do remember some details from previous Dom rants) (Heard from Lita: "Oh my god you're gonna kill me Gâh!", a bit after 3:59)

    • cybik says:

      I justify every last one of my idiotic comments with "Intoxication by sleep deprivation".

  7. Elle Sea says:

    I figured the Big O opening was a 'Flash' rip-off. Similar to how Top Gear ripped off The Allman Brothers for their theme.

  8. Nathan says:

    I'm glad people approve of SZS. The manga is also getting released soon in the US by Del Ray

  9. romstop says:

    Just as a note, I, for one, would be totally interested in having an episode done solely by Dom. He's funny.

  10. Lucca says:

    I have a suggestion for a topic: Sorceror's Stone. You could use that to talk about Harry Potter. BTW, I listen to this podcast every week, it makes me laugh out loud and then my sister has to ask why I'm laughing :)

  11. Shiseki says:

    I've been listening to this podcast for a while now(actually more like from the start,since Dom mentioned this in one of his rants in MT) and I'm totally hooked on it. It gives me new information about pop culture that I never knew before. The Sega one for instance gave me and my friends a new codeword when we're talking about our respective sex lives with our girlfriends without them knowing.

    "So, how was your Sailor today?"

    You won't believe how fun it can be.

    In any case my suggestion from me would be SNK(Because they aren't well talked about even if there's tons of material for there, like their NeoGeo games, and of course their Pachinko empire)

    There's also Suzumiya Haruhi(which is indeed vast, with the novels and the anime and the community)

    BTW, I'm curious if you guys are into Touhou as games or guys(and Lita*) who enjoy the fanworks.

    *Lita is the only girl I keep hearing it, but from the way you guys talk of a Girl named Miho, I wonder if you guys would put her on.

    ANYWAY~~that's my rant for you guys. Love the show and hope it gets read on air... ,,//. ( ^.-)
