Promo time!

We’re going to have a promo soon! So now it’s time to promo swap. Someone has already called first place, but there’s still hope for your promo. If you have a podcast, listen carefully. Comment on this post if you want your promo to be played on our show. We will do it as long as you play our promo on yours. The order in which people comment will be the order that we play the promos on the show. Now, get to commenting!

The Hangout 15 La Escuela

-contact@thehangoutpodcast.com
-205.332.1917

In this episode, we discuss how the 10th grade is treating us. We go through each class and talk about how our first 10 (for Skye, 12 for me) days of school have been.

Skye’s pick is Twilight by Stephenie Meyer.

Regularly scheduled shows will return soon. The only thing that’s holding us back from doing them now is that Skye will not cooperate and help me come up with a time, as you will notice during the show. Maybe putting this message here will embarrass her into helping me.

AGAIN

I have some kind of bug right now, and when I talk, it sounds like I have Q-tips shoved up my nose. So unfortunately, Skye and I won’t be recording a show. How loopy I am might make the show more entertaining, but unfortunately, I just can’t do one today. Sorry!

Today

Well, chances are, we will PROBABLY have a live show today. Unfortunately, though, I have not been able to talk with Skye about this yet. If we do not have a live show today, I do have a recording of a conversation we had last week. I’ll edit it and release it as episode 15.

The Hangout 14 Ooh, It’s the Giant Girl

-contact@thehangoutpodcast.com
-205.332.1917

Please excuse the audio quality in this episode of The Hangout. The local recording was messed up, so we had to use the slightly worse quality recording.

Today we share our stories about technology disasters, our “tech nos.” Listen to the show for the stories! Thank you Chris (Sims 2 Junkie Podcast) for calling in with your story.

Next we discuss a very interesting news article entitled “Wife throws cocktail glass at husband, killing him”.

Then we answer some Would You Rather Questions. They are:
-Would you rather be 4′1″ or 7′9″?
-Would you rather live in Antarctica or Death Valley?
Thank you Currie for calling in with her answers to these questions.

Also, we’ve announced we’re having a contest for The Hangout! In the comments of the shownotes for this show, we’d like you to sign yourself up for any old episode of The Hangout (or The Brent and Skye Show) and agree to listen to that episode this week. Then, while listening, find your favorite few audio clips (no more than 2 seconds each) think you really like from the episode. Note the time that the audio clip is played, and send me and email with the episode number and the timestamp. The more you send in, the more of a chance you have at winning, but if it’s too many (by my judgement), you are considered a spammer and are disqualified from the contest. If your clip gets put into the new Hangout promo, you will get a spot on the “Promo” page of the site with any message you want (that is not profane) next to your name.

Our picks of the week:
Brent - Audiobook/book: Getting Things Done by David Allen
Sub-pick: 43folders.com
Sub-pick: Moleskine
Skye - Movie: Breakfast Club

Next week’s Would You Rather Questions Are:

a) date Sesame Street’s Bert
b) Ernie

a) for your wedding, be registered at Quizno’s
b) at the Chuck E. Cheese prize counter

We don’t have a topic next week, so feel free to call in or email in any story you’d like! We love to hear from you. Honestly, we do.

Subscribing Correctly

It has come to my attention that quite a few people are subscribed to the wrong feed in iTunes. Being subscribed to the correct feed has benefits for you and it has benefits for us. If you are subscribed to the right feed, you get all the correct ID3 tags including shownotes that are viewable on your iPod. Also, being subscribed correctly helps us get appropriate statistics and also helps us climb up in rank on the iTunes Store.

How do I know if I’m subscribed to the wrong feed?

There are multiple ways to tell if you are subscribed to the wrong feed. Open up The Hangout section in your iTunes library.

If you have any episodes that start with “EPISODE”, then it’s wrong. If you have the “clean” tag next to anything, then it’s wrong. If you see that the artist is “Brent Irwin.tv” and not “Brent Irwin”, then it’s wrong. And last, if you see that the description section starts with “EPISODE”, then it’s wrong.

How do I fix this?

First, select “The Hangout” in your iTunes Library and click on “Unsubscribe” on the bottom.

Then, head on over to www.thehangoutpodcast.com. That’s where you are right now.

Click on the iTunes button in the sidebar.

iTunes should automatically open and bring you to the appropriate page on the iTunes Store. If you are prompted for permision for iTunes to open, allow it to. Now, just click on the word “Subscribe” in the iTunes Store. Notice it says “Free” right next to it.

Now, iTunes will bring you the appropriate versions of all episodes of The Hangout every time a new one is released!

The Hangout 13 Pirate Girl Camp, Yar!

In this episode, we tell funny stories from camp. From mattress surfing to Pirate Girl Camp, this episode is a blast! To do:

Next week, we will be talking about Tech-Nos. Call or write in with your stories regarding technology disasters. Also, call in with your answers to next week’s would you rather questions! Would you rather:

a) be 4′1″ (1.25m)
b) be 7′9″ (2.36m)

a) live in Antarctica
b) live in Death Valley
