Tonight I catch up with my old pal Huy who now works as a designer for Hulu in Los Angeles. After we get caught up on his work at Hulu and life in LA, my dad joins us and we talk sci-fi books including Ender’s Game; as well as other books we’re reading. We discuss the I-Pad and other technologies of the future and then end with a series of random and thought-provoking questions. (110 min)

LEGOs! LEGOs! LEGOs!
This week we talk about LEGOS from our past, sets we wish we had, LEGOs we still have, Star Wars , Spongebob, Indiana Jones and Toy Story LEGOs and LEGOs we wish they would make. We cover the LEGO games including Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Rock Band. And last but not least Fabuland! A series of LEGOs I had forgotten all about!
I confess to making a recording mistake and forgot my headphones so the mike picked up the audio as well as the Skype recording so at some point it sounds like the audio is playing twice which gets annoying but try to have fun with it!
Here are a few awesome LEGO sites we mentioned in the cast:

This week we did things a bit differently. First we recorded a short 13 minute podcast on the porch during the Easter weekend with the Tupas smoking cigars and sipping whiskey. The topic we discussed is: what would you do if you knew your were going to die in 12 hours. A pretty fun one despite the morbid tone to it. (13min)

Oh Boy, are you in for a treat! This is a wonderful episode.
We talk about what would happen if you were the last person on earth. What would you do, where would you go, how would you eat and survive. We also mention blowing things up, living on a submarine, off-roading in an RV, going to Cuba and much, much more. Very informative and entertaining at the same time. I forgot to turn on my mike for the first 8 minutes or so, so there may be some questions answered that you didn’t hear posed. (118 min)
We are joined this episode by Thomas Coulton (Kill Screen 256). You can find more of Thomas at:

Episode 20 is a special one indeed! I talk with my friend from elementary school; Louis Hoefer! We haven’t spoken in 20 years, since I moved from Indiana to Texas. Louis talks about his company that makes role-playing games, we trade memories from our time together, specifically the harrowing tale of Red Eye! Louis also informs me of all the changes that have happened in 20 years. A wonderful episode about connecting with your past and having fun at the same time!

Alton and Matthew relate some of their pet stories this week. We hear about Alton’s attempt at building a concrete fish bowl, Matthew’s many bird stories and the no-neck Augie incident. We also have more stories about our first dog Popcorn and our mean old neighbor Mr. Cavanaugh. Matthew reviews THX1138 and I have a service annoucement as well.
I apologize for the lack of music this week. I had just finished editing the podcast and went to a birthday party for a 4 year old and ended up breaking a bone in my ankle on a 2-story inflatable slide. But I wanted to get this up on time, so there you are.
If anyone has any topic ideas or wishes to be on the show with us email me.
