My Apologies!

August 08, 2006 By: Z Category: Life No Comments →

Your two favorite podcasters, myself and SBKevin, have been busy as hell. We’re in a transition period moving from Red Hook and our broke ass apartment to our beautiful pink palace in Bay Ridge. Our new apartment is pink from floor to cieling. I’m talkin’ carpet, walls, toilet seat, toilet, counter tops, and furniture. I develop a lisp every time I think about it! But, we’re moving up in the world so stay tuned for more podcasts, news, etc!

Country Club

ITS HERRRE! We have a very special podcast for you this week. The show was done under the influence of 160oz of Country Club Malt Liquor. Both SBKevin and I drank two 40oz of Country Club a piece before doing the show! For $1.59 a bottle, a little bit of money creates some high quality entertainment.

A special welcome to any visitors from YouTube!

Our Studio Now Accepting Donations

August 04, 2006 By: Z Category: The Daily Hook No Comments →

The above pictures should say everything that needs to be said about why I added a ‘Make a Donation’ link to the site! As you can see, our studio is BROKE. Our podcasts are produced from a Dell Inspiron 1000 laptop, which is running a shitty Celeron processor. The white stick looking thing laying across the mouse pad in the second image is our mic. The first picture is a close-up of that same mic!

That piece of shit mic is shared between the two of us. Anyways, I know we only have about 4 loyal listeners, but maybe one day someone will come across The Daily Hook and really appreciate what we do, and help us upgrade out studio! I’m sure the POPS and CLICKS in the podcast make you want to dive into a wall head first (or maybe just make you want to turn us off), but at least now you know why the quality is shitty! Yo, but we make it work right?

Please note: If you donate a $1, that might not necessarily go towards a new mic right away.  It might go towards me upgrading my nightly cuisine from peanut butter and bread to easy mac and tuna. 5 star meals son!

Daily Hook BANNED from Tellfriends.com!

August 04, 2006 By: Z Category: The Daily Hook No Comments →

Yes you read right!

I was checking my email and I noticed an email from the founder of this new Web 2.0 company called Tellfriends.com, which was interesting enough in itself because its not every day that you receive an email from a CEO.
The Tellfriends website was created so that individuals can post topics suggesting websites, places, attractions, etc and then other users can rate the places and write reviews as well. So, yesterday I decided to post a topic about The Daily Hook in hopes of getting feedback from other users! I wrote a description about the show and included the link to the website as well as our logo.

This is what the CEO said in his email to me regarding my Daily Hook topic,

Hope all is going well.

I’ve been thinking about this for a while.

I had to remove your latest Topic. Although there will be a time when I
would like to have a wide variety of Topics and descriptions, today
there are so few Topics that each one has a strong impact with other users.

For this reason, I removed your Topic due to your phrase, ’sex with fat
women’.

Please let me know your thoughts. As always, I do appreciate the
feedback that you may have.

Have a great day and weekend,
James

Founder

James obviously has a bias against fat females, unlike us here at The Daily Hook. If this really irks you, I’d suggest going to Tellfriends.com and posting a wide range of topics regarding relations with fat females. I am not biased. I like females of all shapes, sizes and races. Tellfriends obviously needs our help in spreading ‘Infokarma’, as they say on their site, about the benefits of having relationships with thick women. I’m wondering if it would have made a difference if in the show description I said sex with skinny women? Maybe I’ll give it a second try on Tellfriends and substitute that phrase and see what happens!

This suggestion is similar to Stephen Colbert’s wikiality ideas

Who wants to be a superhero?

August 03, 2006 By: Z Category: Pop Culture No Comments →

Major Victory

This show is without a doubt the undisputed champion of reality TV!

Airing on Sci-Fi, Who Wants to be a Superheo? Features 12 lunatics running around public in their superhero costumes performing good acts such as rescuing lost children, changing into their outfit without being seen, as well as other heroic feats!

Each week comic book mastermind Stan Lee, who acts as the Donald Trump (as in the Apprentice) eliminates one superhero. My prediction for a winner is ex-stripper turned red-superhero-suit-wearing, Major Victory. This guy plays the part to perfection!

Chris Watters
Disc Jockey
Age: 38

Can levitate and is never knocked down; super-strength; can jump 375 feet straight up; can go 25 minutes without air; super-acute vision; can manipulate sound waves to create noises or throw his voice.

Deaf in left ear. Lactose intolerant.

…the benefit of all mankind.

“Be a winner, not a weiner!”

Major Victory loves to sing karaoke with other superheroes, and he practices yoga when he isn’t fighting crime.

He got his powers from an accidental explosion at a speaker-testing facility.
You can watch some exclusive footage and auditions from the show on Youtube.

The show airs: Thursday @ 9pm EST on SciFi

Full-Body Dance Dance Revolution!!

August 03, 2006 By: Z Category: Pop Culture No Comments →

Alright I’m not really excited about this, so disregard the exclaimation points/!/

Notice the SLASHES, as in ANGER. Anyways, some scientists have taken the time to develop a full body version of the popular Dance Dance Revolution video game. I’m not a scientist so I won’t get into describing how it works, because even if I attempted to get into details I’m sure that I’d fail miserably. So, go do yourself a favor and read the article.

Random Fact on: American Apparel

August 01, 2006 By: Z Category: Fashion No Comments →

For all our hispter readers, I just wanted to throw a random 2-part fact your way because I know you shop at the store American Apparel.

PART ONE: The founder is Dov Charney

PART TWO: He’s CANADIAN

What would be even more funny is if the ‘anti-sweatshop’ company was manufacturing their clothes in Canada. However, they only have one facility and its located in Los Angeles.

But, the truth is out. The founder of AMERICAN Apparel is CANADIAN! I might as well start Canadian Apparel and move to my American ass to Canada.

In the article that disclosed this information, Charney was also quoted as saying,

“I think for a designer to be in his underwear when he’s designing underwear is quite common. And I’m in my underwear in my office all the time.”

This comment was made AFTER she asked Charney about being accused of sexual harrassment on 3 seperate occassions. COMEDY!

BREAKING NEWS!

It is now legal for bodega shop owners in Brooklyn to serve liquor and beer at 8am on Sundays! Snippet,

Although their best beer customers are probably sound asleep at 8 a.m., bodegas and supermarkets no longer have to wait until noon to start selling brews on Sunday, thanks to a new law that went into effect Sunday.
