I will be making my triumphant return to the podcast along with Nick Duong and Shane. Not sure if they will be separate shows or the same show but I'll have a brand new episode up with the theme: Triumphant returns. First, I returned to Disneyland this week from a 3-5 year hiatus. I also returned (not so triumphantly) to Riverside, CA to watch UFC 100 and party down. Here are some raunchy photos from the events. More details in this weeks show. Stay tuned!
According to Shane, his fingers were broken as a child and placed back together poorly resulting in gang signs in every picture on Space Mountain. I was screaming "Ay Dios Mio" while Ali, Lawman and Kirsten hung back while Shane and I drove.
Steve has a problem overbuying beer. Apparently a 30 pack isn't enough to make a pyramid so two 30 packs of Bud Light, plus a 12 pack of Sam Adams Summer Ale purchased. Lo and behold, it only takes 21 to make a "pyramid." We decided to have a photo shoot with our creation before we built a moat of Sam Adams bottles around it. I was declared with lightweight champion of beer pong and did a fair share of trash talking.
UFC 100 was great. I don't know many fans and I'm not sure how much anyone would like to hear my recap of the events. Notable moments (which you'll find in every recap): Dan Henderson knocking out Michael Bisbing then delivering a flying hammer fist to the KO'd Bisbing lying with his back on the mat. GSP dominating a much larger Thiago Alves despite a pulled groin in the third round. Frank Mir losing to the freak show, Brock Lesnar. Lesnar overwhelmed Mir then celebrated in a poor, unprofessional manner which he later apologized for. Yoshihiro Akiyama was victorious as well. More victorious were our nicknames for all things Akiyama related like Sake-Bombas, Leg Lock-iyamas, Croc-iyamas, trash-talkiyama etc...Like I said, I'm not sure who watches but if you're a fan, let me know. We'll chat. Good times.
I'd like to refer to this edition of handfuls as "carfuls." I had this particular batch of CD's in my car for a few months. My cd player is very picky. If I put a CD in I have to listen to it as long as I can. Everytime I try to put a new CD in it refuses to accept it. It spits it out yet I try to load one for 2-3 minutes while driving 80 on the freeway. There will start to be some repeat offenders on each of my lists. I listen to records again and again. Rarely does my music get less than 2 spins. The contents of the CD wallet that occupies the crevice in my driver's side door that I rest my left calf against is listed below:

*note: I messed up and compressed the last segment twice so it sounds louder than the rest of the show. Sorry!
