Thanks for putting this up again promptly on Friday morning CheapyD and Wombat, can't wait to listen to every second of it.
 
You're 12 minutes late, Cheapy. :p I'll probably listen tomorrow or over the weekend.

Nice fridge pic. It seems like you're lacking solid food though. I hope you guys don't live off beer and OJ.
 
I think the "new" DS won't really be a new DS. Instead it'll just refuse to play the device that they're trying to have outlawed. That is something they wouldn't announce.
 
Nice double standards Wombat, its ok if you had a son to have a porn DVD/stash but not your daughter when she grows up? Females enjoy some alone time as well.

Who knows probably a male on male dvd she buys whens he's older was marketed by you at your work.
 
Man, that pizza guy story is classic. Also Cheapy's "Columbian is ethnic?" remark was pretty shocking.
Great show as always. BTW Why does Wombat give a fuck about middle name's? What's Tai middle name? Don't know, doesn't really matter.
 
I just beat MGS4 and now I get to listen to a new cagcast now YAY!
Man does Hideo know how to dddrraaggg out a story jesus christ.
Cheapy I really don't blame you for falling asleep to it, I almost did a couple times.
Seriously its like 11hrs of cut sceens and 5hours of gameplay.
O shit Spoiler ALERT! LOL

Thanks for the newest CAGcast

I don't know if I'm a little late in asking this question for Wombat, but I was just reminded of it since he was talking about the Fisher Price rain forest set for his daughter; Wombat, was your toe still broken when your wife was giving birth? If it was, did it hinder your speed to help your wife?

Also, good thing to hear that you like Geometry Wars 2, Cheapy; I personally like it a lot better since the first one, especially since the action starts right from the beginning, compared to the first one which took several minutes to start getting good.

Well, only a couple minutes into the CAGcast and I've got to go to work soon >_>. Will listen to after work.

---Wow, was just listening to a little bit more before I had to go and I have to say, that's quite a story you got about the drunk guy at your party. My face was literally like this (O.O) though when I heard you say that the police in Japan can hold you up to a month in jail without pressing charges; that's fucking crazy.

Holy crap was that party story awesome. I had similar things happen with my roommate in the past so I definitely can relate.
 
now i get The Naked Gun Theme Song at the beginning of the show lol

and it's official CheapyD is a Racist ..... i'll help you out Wombat since he diss your wife
What's the difference between a Jew and a pizza?
A pizza doesn't scream when you put it in the oven. LoL
 
RE: The Pizza Guy
I would have picked up all of his clothes and dumped them in the next elevator. So if a thought *happened* to cross his mind before he went out the building door, he could at least put on some pants.

Sounds like an intervention is in store for this guy... whenever he finally gets out of jail.

Holy shit dude, you might just be an a-hole.
 
Great story with that pizza guy Cheapy. I had a roommate in college that was like that. Especially if he combined alcohol and .. uhh .. "nose candy". He'd get naked and/or piss at some random spot in the house that wasn't the bathroom. His most amazing feat being falling out of a two story window out on to the concrete sidewalk below, breaking in to my neighbor's apartment, and then climbing in to bed with my neighbor's girlfriend (who thought he was her boyfriend until she woke up).

That is incredibly offensive even to me and I'm German. Also, Wombat is Jewish so I don't think you're helping him out.
 
What a great episode! While I think that CheapyD's not-so-backhanded apology was more of a backhanded apology, I'm am glad that he addressed the issue and apologized. I would have been angry, too.

I remember the joy of having my son, and having that joy stamped on can be taken a bit personally (and for good reason). I remember showing off my son at my in law's a few months after he was born, and the neighbor came over and she goes, "He looks like a little girl." Us: "No, he's very much a boy." Her: "He sure is pretty. Pretty enough to be a girl." All the while she said this in the almost condescending baby talk voice. I wanted to smack her. That's the only time I fantasized about hitting an old woman.

The story about the Pizza Guy was really entertaining! What a nightmare! I know exactly the uncomfortable situation that mixing the partying lifestyle with the married-with-children lifestyle, and I agree with CheapyD's method of handing the situation. It sounds like that guy has a few problems, outside of the obvious drinking one. His wife's nonchalant response to the phone call from CheapyD leads me to believe that she might see this behavior on a nightly basis (which might also explain why she didn't accompany him), and it was just a matter of time before she got the "your drunk, dumbass husband got his bareass arrested last night, so come pick up his shit and bail his ass out" call. I don't think I would have done anything different other than to go out into the hallway for one last attempt to reel him back in before making that trip into the elevator and getting locked out (as I'm sure there's some sort of security that he'd have to pass through in the lobby to get back up). But he is an adult and at an age of 40+, he certainly can make up his own (drunk) mind.

I would be interested to hear the follow-up as to what exactly he did when he left the building. What does a drunk naked guy do after he passes through the lobby doors? The world may never know.
 
Awesome opening song for this CAGcast!:applause:

And do keep us updated on the Pizza Guy story.

And please ban that fucker from post #21.

[quote name='thorbahn3']... BTW Why does Wombat give a fuck about middle name's? What's Tai middle name? Don't know, doesn't really matter.[/quote]

That's easy for you to say. You probably don't have children.

Being a father myself, I thought the comments were a bit insensitive, especially coming from a father himself. And this all happened during the announcement of Wombat's baby daughter to the CAGCast listening audience. Wombat cares about middle names because it happens to be the middle name of his new baby daughter.

When you have a baby one day, and somebody gets your baby's name wrong, and upon correcting them they tell you that their name was better, you might take offense, even if they're joking.
 
Is it really debatable why Wombat got upset? Its because his good friend didn't get his newborn baby's name right. Obviously big news in his life, so of course he has a right to be sensitive. These are sensitive times for the man! It would have been hilarious if they really got into it during the taping of the show, especially because Ship would have been there to mediate. It should be a new CAGcast rule to never hold back your feelings, it makes for good listening. Even if Wombat wants to give the silent treatment, I'd still listen to a 90 minute Cheapy tries to apologize episode.

Superb show. Some great stories coming out the past few episodes. Just when I thought nothing could top the taxi weed story, in comes drunk pizza guy. An extra funny moment when Wombat gave out a school girl giggle the second or third time Cheapy accidentally said Alex. You should replay that giggle or even use it to start a Wombat sound board. Hmm...

fuck you, do you know how many black jokes CheapyD made in this year alone? so relax dude

if Wombat is a Jew then i didn't help him out he'll be just dissing himself lol

i don't even get upset about his black jokes he does on the show. i just felt it was fucked up because his own friend is dissing his Wife race "Colombian is that even a Race?" 1. He dissed his WIFE 2. He dissed his Wife Race 3. He dissed his FRIEND wife!

Tasteless joke issue aside, I think what Cheapy was hinting at was this:

Race vs. Ethnicity

• Race: a socially constructed category composed of people who share biologically transmitted traits that members of a society consider important.

• Ethnicity: shared cultural heritage

That's just sick man. Cheapy just asked whether "Colombian was a race", not implying anything, just asking for Wombat take on it.
What you made is a gross and offensive joke. You're not even making a stereotypical joke about character (which is already plain rude and stupid), you are condoning the holocaust.
My take is that Cheapy is really really not racist, he married a japanese girl you idiot! He just so over it he's not paying attention to stupid polite stuff.

On Alex's story, I think Cheapy was damn right to let him go. If it happened to me, and with a REALLY GOOD FRIEND I would probably tackle him or even knock him out. Butttt... I live on my own so I don't have anyone more important to protect in the house. If it had happened when I had a girlfriend or even when my nephews are around or something, man, he would be on it's own. You really don't need an angry drunk in the same house as your family. Also you don't NEED to do anything in any case, he should be responsible for his own behavior.

Great show... as usual!
 
Cheapy may have actually saved some money on a new mattress by letting Pizza Guy go out the door on his own. Bed-wetting (or shitting) is always a possiblity from someone that intoxicated.

Excellent point! Nobody wants to wake up to the smell of shit and realize that it's not coming from a baby. LOL.

Reminds me of that scene from Trainspotting... ugh.
 
You can really tell the difference in the mindsets between gamers with families and gamers with no external commitments. It seems that a week can't go by without somebody lambasting Cheapy or Wombat for having commitments beyond of the X Button under their thumb.

Why is this? Do these people feel betrayed or insulted that a gamer would seek emotional gratification outside of pre-rendered cut scenes or group level grinding? Do they not understand that there is a difference between a flesh and blood wife and child and a digital pet on your keychain? Anybody who feels it's unreasonable to pamper your wife for a few weeks after she has given birth at the expense of a WOW raid or podcast recording has some very distorted priorities and sense of self worth.

I have a wife and 2 year old boy. I would gladly give up videogames for the rest of my life if it kept them healthy, safe, and happy.

Please don't pretend to speak for all parents. I realize that not everyone is gonna give a shit about my kids middle name. Even people close to me. (I have 2). We picked the name that we liked, not the names everyone else is going to like.

The only excuse is Wombat is suffering from 'First baby syndrome' where you hyper-sensitive about every little thing about the new kid (I've been there) or his vagina tore a little when he delivered and it still hurts.


p.s. Isn't that pizza vs. jew joke out of the "truly tasteless" jokes books from the 80s.

This the the slippery slope of racism, as soon as one person makes a remark, some else has to try to beat it.
 
Another great CAGcast, loved this weeks and last weeks :) Cheapy, you should bring back CAG Shovelware, what happened to that?
 
hey if he did mean Ethnicity then i'm sorry, but there are other things he said also kind of messed up. Cheapy"oh 200+ people at the wedding? its because those Colombian bang like crazy" Wombat "she adopted" Silence for 2 seconds .... lol and i don't know if it just Cheapy trying to be controversial for the show or he just doesn't care about Wombats feeling or his wife feeling

even Wombats wife doesn't expect him to care anymore lol
 
I saw the tease for the pizza guy story on Twitter and it definately got me excited for this week's CAGcast. Another great episode as usual. I think you should have Shipwreck on as well as Pizza Guy. You could title the episode Two Jews, a Gentile and a Pizza Guy.
 
Cheapy did seem to be an insensitive asshole who doesn't care about anything but himself. But to his defense, its nothing new. You pick up on him being a huge Jerk after listening to a few shows.

Cheapy, your response?;)
 
Great show, great pizza guy story. Monday shows may in fact be a great idea. This will give you guys a much larger separation of time between the CAGcast and the Shipwrecks' show, being that their episodes tend to be released more towards the middle of the week. Monday also seems to be one of the slowest days for podcasts.

Your "joke" has no place being here -- just because Cheapy has been "racially insensitive" in the past doesn't give you the right to post stuff like that. And where the hell did you get Cheapy dissing Wombat's wife anyway? He asked a question "but Colombian is not a race though...is it?" That's a question, not a racist comment. And say, even if it IS a racist comment, which it is not, what is the logic behind posting one racist comment after another?


You, on the other hand, is laughing at and condoning a genocide. That's just tasteless.

Did Cheapy ever say "Colombian is that even a Race?" as you claimed? Its one thing to make horrible jokes, its another when you're just making stuff up so you can post your own racist remarks. Very uncalled for.

Yes, he did, but the manner in which it was asked leads me to believe that he didn't mean it in a derogatory way.

I am sorry -- I only finished half of the podcast...at what point did Cheapy say "Colombian is that even a Race?"?


His exact quote at 6:13 was "but Colombian is not a race though...is it?"
 
Am I the only one who didn't even notice that Wombat was giving CheapyD the silent treatment in last week's episode?

Wombat sounds a lot like the parent I hope not to be: overly sensitive regarding everything related to his child. Anybody want to take bets as to whether or not his daughter will be excessively pampered?
