By the way CAGS im a 20 yr old college student.

I don't think your voice was even funny. Wombat's laugh which sounded like he had a gerbil running around in his ass was way more awkward than your voice.

Hey, CAGs,
Long time listener, first time poster...What the Shaq Fu is the theme song at the beginning of this episode? I'm positive I know it, but can't quite put my finger on it.
Any clues?

I don't want to sound like a jerk, but I'm surprised how many dumb asses called in. What, do they wait to get on the air just to ask if you guys like Modern Warfare 2? The one guy called in just to say that he likes the first more? I like the idea that the way you guys answered calls makes it more random, but maybe you should call screen to make sure that the person had something actually worth discussing.

I feel the same way, I guess it's only mostly morons who don't have to work that stay up and can call in. I would have at least asked a question about shit stained drawers, or like what was the longest turd Cheapy and Wombat ever dropped. I would ask Ship also but I am not sure he is the kind of guy that will let us into that part of his personal life.

I gotta say that I wasn't a fan of this show. Most people who call in to shows don't know how to talk on the radio. With sports/talk radio it works because the people hosting the show are good at handling people and keeping things fairly brief and keeping people from rambling. But on here it just didn't work.

Next time do more of a traditional show. Maybe do what Joystiq does and have a section with voice mail questions instead of live callers, that way you can pre-select ones that are decent and it keeps people from rambling. Maybe mix in a few live special guests as well. But keep the regular stuff, too.

One other thing I didn't like was that the show stopped just before deals went live. I think it would have been better, even if Cheapy had to leave to get stuff posted on the site, to keep the show going and have Wombat and Shipwreck talking about the deals as they went live and their thoughts on the games on sale if they had played them. Having the live Black Friday show stop before Black Friday really started didn't make sense to me and kind of contradicted the point of having a live show.

One last thing, I think a show on Wednesday night would have been good, too. With Amazon's deals and bestbuy.com going live on Thursday I think there were as many of us up waiting Wednesday night as Thursday night.

When I think of Wombat and his family eating Thanksgiving dinner, I picture a scene from "The Clumps". They all look like different versions of wombat and have short sausage fingers.

I'm not positive, but I think it was Excite Bike.

hey love the show me and my friend are thinking of starting a podcast our self's and we were wondering what program you use
keep the great podcasts coming

This was seriously the worst show I've ever heard. And not because of anything Cheapy, Wombat and Shipwreck did or said. Man, what terrible callers. Except for Jimmy, Ron, and Michael. I would love to hear 15 min of each of those guys on future 'casts if you can get them to call in. All entertaining. And saying it's the worst show ever isn't saying much. I love nearly every episode, so a mediocre episode is elevated to WORST EVAR.

Even Ron and his bizzare tangents. In fact, Ron would make a great foil. That's a Stern technique, to have someone say stuff you don't want to say or that you think would be entertaining instead of saying it. Not that racism is good, but just that it can be entertaining, like poddy humor, making fun of people, and stupidity. But you don't always want to do it yourself, you get an articulate intelligent insane man like Ron to come on and get crazy.

In summary, random callers isn't as good as the 3 head CAGs chatting.

Oh yeah, this is the first CAGcast to actually make me hungry. Thanks Wombat.

Actually, Excite Bike was last week (i remembered that one after the first 3 notes).
This week was a theme song from some old TV series...I'm thinking something from the 80's, but I can't quite place it, and it's killing me!

Cheapy, what's the epic theme music that you've been using to open the live shows? I know I've heard it before but I can't place it.

Man, these live shows are painful. You really need a screener for the calls.
