Hello America!  Despite jet lag and serious illness, Thelma and I are back with Episode 3 of TV Craps!  Were the Olympics the most important thing on TV for the last few weeks?  Yes.  Do we talk about the Olympics?  Not really.  Listen as we discuss everything from left handed JO's to True Blood!  See ya back here at the end of the month for The Internuts Podcast!

PS - We save discussion of True Blood, The Newsroom, and Breaking Bad for the tail end of the show so don't worry about spoilers unless we warn you!

The Internuts Podcast! Episode 11 - Ghost Farts and War Tanks!


Hi there!  Another month has passed us by and that can mean only one thing...it's time for another episode of The Internuts Podcast!  Listen as I reflect back on the month of July with perennial podcast favorite Philip Darrenkamp, Second City alum Josh Philo, and taxidermist Beth Beverly.  Can you listen to a more insightful podcast?  Sure!  Can you listen to a more professional podcast?  Absolutely!  BUT, can you listen to a podcast with as many taxidermy anecdotes as this one?  PROBABLY NOT! 

PHILIP DARRENKAMP is a man whose credentials and origin are a mystery to everyone but himself and the master jewel thief who taught him to read Hebrew.  JOSH PHILO is a Chicago resident, sketch performer, and product of the venerable Second City Training Center.  BETH BEVERLY is Philadelphia's premiere rogue taxidermist.  You can see her work here, read about her from The New York Times, check out her blog, and watch the video below.  CROOKED STILL is a wonderful string band that repurposes traditional music as well as writing their own excellent songs in an old-timey style.  Buy their newest album, Some Strange Country, wherever it is that you buy albums.  As always, thank you to Kevin McLeod for providing our theme music.  Finally, make sure to subscribe to the show through iTunes and leave us a nice review.  That's it!  Enjoy and I'll see you back here on August 15th for another episode of TV Craps! and August 31st for more of The Internuts Podcast! Talking points include: a Tour of Italy, Pepsi Clear, bird bones in Chicago, squirrel centipedes, taxidermy war stories, toothpaste vs. Old Spice, David Bowie's makeup, Plus Size in Cincinnati, nude crudités, To Catch a Koala Predator, getting wet with Whiskers, JO in a tornado, piano medicine, To Catch a Robert Loggia, Hunter in a bucket, Catman Begins, Bill Gates: Rocketeer, ankle deep in trim, Army Surplus war tanks, dog racism, and The Internuts Fan Fiction Corner!

TV Craps! Episode 2 - The Insider/Dogs in the City


Hi Gang!  Well, it's that time again.  What time, you ask?  PAY ATTENTION!  It's time for Thelma and I to watch an hour of television and report our findings to YOU!  Today we were tasked with watching The Insider and Dogs in the City on CBS.  Needless to say, we get distracted fairly quickly and spend most of the time talking about The Newsroom, True Blood, and Wes Anderson movies.  Surprisingly, I don't think this episode features any big spoilers unless you are super invested in True Blood.*  So grab a snack, kick back on the couch, and listen to TV Craps! with Chris and Thelma!

*If you are super invested in True Blood you should rethink YOUR WHOLE SITUATION.

The Internuts Podcast! Episode 10 - The Crossed Swords of Living Wizards!




It’s hard to believe, Internuts, but the Dog Days of Summer are upon us.  It seems like just yesterday we were enjoying the Otter Hours of Winter and the Marmot Minutes of Spring.  Thankfully The Internuts Podcast! has been specially formulated to be enjoyed in an air conditioned environment.  Don’t try to listen to this shit outside.  It’s hot out there, playa.  Join Jo Pincushion, Tony DiGerolamo, Karl Whitman and myself as we learn the best ways to beat the heat this summer.  Also, we talk about zombies.

Note: There are a few issues with sound quality on this episode.  We record using Skype and, dependable as it is, audio hiccups do occur.  Despite my best efforts the guests occasionally sound like Carol Anne from Poltergeist.  Please accept my deepest apologies. 



Talking points include: sitting down at concerts, sad summer Santas, CBF, Bon-O, lava monster propaganda, bold Batman opinions, stuff coming at your face, Camelbaks full of White Zin, pieces of meat, Mitt Romney's The Stand, rodent troubles, Peep Trap, believing Smash Mouth, girl farts, pickling The Beast...sexually, Mighty Morphin *White Power* Rangers, breastaurants, The Greatest Story Ever Told, and America's favorite: The Internuts Fan Fiction Corner!

Jo Pincushion is a writer, actor, blogger, singer, podcaster, and all-around busy young lady.  You can check out some of Jo’s work at GeekadelphiaGuySpeed, and Things Women Want.  You can follow Jo on TwitterFacebook, Tumblr or find out more from her website

Tony DiGerolamo is a comic book writer, screenwriter and web-presence-haver.  Tony writes for Bart Simpson and Simpsons Comics, both released by Bongo.  He has also written for Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher and Space Ghost Coast to Coast.  Tony wrote the comics Jersey DevilThe Travelers, and The Fix.  Tony is the creator of the webcomic Super Frat and the co-creator of The Webcomic Factory.  Tony has his own Wikipedia entry which I am impressed by.

Karl Whitman is a dear friend of mine but he has accomplished very little with his life.  He doesn’t even have a Wikipedia entry.  He should be ashamed of himself.

Last but not least, I’d like to give a special thank you to The Wayside Shakeup for allowing me to feature some of their music this month.  Look them up on Facebook and YouTube and follow them on Twitter.

I'll seeya back here for TV Craps! on July 15th and another episode of The Internuts Podcast! on the 31st!  Stay frosty, friends!

The Internuts Podcast! Episode 8.5 - The Hunger Games!



Yeah, so...it's extremely relevant.  The Avengers can't hold a candle to this riveting convo!  We're a few weeks late but, if you're wondering what our take on The Hunger Games might be, you're in luck!  Here's a brief(ish) conversation between Thelma Weinstein, Jim Conrad, and myself about THG.  It simply didn't fit into the May 29th episode so, perhaps, it will be of use to you...
