You are indeed very loud and chatty when you’re drunk, but that’s part of what makes it fun. Since you pretty much say whatever when you’re sober, nothing really crazy comes out when you’re drunk. Me, on the other hand, is probably a different story.
As far as Glee goes, I feel there has been a misunderstanding with the HSM analogy. It’s not the same as HSM. People don’t just break into song while walking down the halls. The only time they sing is while in choir rehearsal or during a performance. It’s not a cheesy musical (other than that one song where they just had a bit of a montage while the lead female was singing, which they didn’t do any of in the following episode).
And it definitely is more of a comedy than a drama. It’s a lot of subtle, sarcastic, tongue-in-cheek humor, which I like.
I do have a confession to make though… it’s becoming formulaic. One girl is pregnant by a guy other than her boyfriend.
Music is still good though so I’ll keep watching for a little until it gets stupid.

Nah, I’m sober. The shaceship thing would be either the show Firefly or Serenity, the latter just being the big screen wrap-up of the the show.
The “hot chicks” paragraph was more self-justification as opposed to trying to change your mind.
I can’t decide if I’m a fun drunk or not. I’m just very, very loud and chatty. What would you say, DH?

You are drunk again aint ya? LOL.
and I LOVED DR Horrible. My bro tried to turn me on to that whedon spaceship thing. Didn’t work, obviously, cause I cant even remember the name. Had something to do with the Civil War. With space ships. Eh. And dude. YOU TALKING to the WRONG GUY about hot chicks. Give me that handsome talented Neil Patrick Harris anyday. LOL.
Still, wanna get drunk with you someday. Promise to control myself with the reacharound. JOKE!
And dammit. I want your show to get major exposure. Dammit. It Is So Good. Argghhhh. I been givint it awll I gooot, cap’n. /scotty

On, and that thing is my cellphone. I used it in one episode to read something online and wanted to keep it there from then on…

Whedon is an acquired taste, and I’m well aware of that fact. I just love the pure camp he uses unabashedly. For fucks sake, Buffy had a MUSICAL episode. You don’t get cheesier than that.
Besides that, the women he casts are all amazingly gorgeous in my opinion. Not so much Ms. Gellar, but Alyson Hannigan? Eliza Dushku? Amy Acker? I had a crush on Jewel Staite waaaaaaaaaay back in the day on Space Cases and forgot she existed until Joss cast her in Firefly.
This rant is so dumb, btw.
Lastly, no one writes the neurotic reluctant hero like Whedon. Watch one episode of Dollhouse, and if you don’t absolutely adore the character of Topher then there is something very wrong with you.
P.S. DOCTOR HORRIBLE’S SING-ALONG BLOG, GODDAMNIT!!

OK. the outtakes were so funny, watching them again and gonna liveblog it.
And DanH. You aint gonna love me any more…
what is that thing DanB keeps tossing on the table.
AND DanH has notes on special MoM folding cards, and he bitches about DanB’s little elecronic thing.
Institutinalized… LOL
I’m so drunk, as he pours more whiskey.
onto Glee…
FAME! I wanna live forever, I wanna learn how to flyyyyyyy…..
Sorry, DanB is right about all of this.
FOX DRAMA. Nuff said.
disease, die, or PREGNANCY. Too early for disease or death, they can milk pregnancy for an extra season.
ned something guide to something? LOL
never saw nip/tuck
Sorry DanH, not gonna back you up on the forums.
Kids singing in school is total bullcrap show premise.
NOW, I get to disagree with DanB.
NOT a Wheedon fan. Can’t watch anything he does.
AND sudden end. But Damn.. wait..
Love the last 3 seconds.
Props to DanH for great editing even in the outtakes.
You guys rock.

PS, wanna get drunk with Dan someday. Should be fun. (purposefully vague)
posted by Rabidbadger on September 24, 2009 at 9:43 pm
Seriously, though. That was funny as shit. YET, despite DanB being shit faced, I totaly agree with him. I have NO intention of ever watching Glee, because I watched the Fame TV show when I was young, and can’t imagine it’s any better than that bullshit.
And yes, just a highschool musical rip off, like THAT should be ripped off. And maybe they DO have good covers on there. It’s still just a friggen TV show on FOX. FOX!
You know. The network that constantly CANCELS the only good shows they have. (except the simpsons, which most probably shoulda been cancelled a few years ago, just to keep it’s integrity).
Maybe I’m just old and jaded. But I just don’t watch network TV anymore. I watch cool podcasts like yours, instead.
posted by Rabidbadger on September 24, 2009 at 8:56 pm
But sorry Dan, I agree with Dan.
(Can I get more wishy washy than that?) LOL
posted by Rabidbadger on September 24, 2009 at 8:53 pm
Blah, you might win, with no death or disease, but you send me that five bucks if their aint a pregnancy by seasons end!
posted by danhauk on September 23, 2009 at 6:00 am
It really did. DanB, I’m holding you to that $5, and you will owe me come the end of the season. Because it is in fact a comedy, even billed that way on IMDB.
I will be $5 richer when the first season is over.
posted by Danberg on September 22, 2009 at 11:53 pm
Man, that got heated pretty quick… haha…

Hahahahaha

We will almost definitely be filming ourselves watching The Grammys, because the tend to piss me off more.
The response on the drunkenness has been positive from literally everyone but my mom.
posted by briancraig on September 20, 2009 at 1:18 pm
oh, man! i totally enjoyed this one. i vote yes for more drunken episodes!
taping yourselves watching live events is awesome. i hope to see more of that.
“i’m dan hauk.” “and i’m drunk.” the best.

I was so dizzy when I went to bed, but in the morning, as I had tweeted, NO HANGOVER!

So it seems the consensus is that we should do more episodes where someone is, or both are, drunk. It was definitely a lot of fun watching him try to get out what he wanted to say.
There’s about 10 minutes or so of outtakes and drunk-takes, including a whole argument about the TV show Glee. That will probably be going up in the members only area in a few days.
Badger, here’s the RATM thing. Limp Bizkit won best rock band, the bassist climbed the set in protest. This is the best video I could find, it starts around 0:37 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v…..Iu0LpdS4XE
As far as the music history thing goes, I was going for more of a noneducational segment for that. But if people would prefer more detail and actually learn something I can do that too.
Glad everyone’s enjoying the episode. I certainly enjoyed filming it.

it is official
DAN B needs to be drunk for every single episode from now on
posted by Rabidbadger on September 18, 2009 at 8:30 pm
Such a great ep. Gotta watch it again without interupting myself to live blog. Also: NEED MORE OUT-TAKES if DanB wants it or not.

Ye Olde Badger Livee Blogg:
Two seconds in. DanB is WASTED!
“the fall is my favorite month” Bwahahahaaaaaa!
This is gonna be epic.
er, 45 is midlife crisis. Er, I’M 45!
OK. I thought you guys freezeframed your reaction in post production. You were so stunned. THE ONE TIME you boringly film yourselves watching a tv show is the ONE time something actually happened, and WOW, you guys. (also glad you did the PnP thing).
You gotta isolate that segment and get it on Digg or something. Honestly a stunning moment in podcasting, (and also get you some publicity.) You put it on youtube, I’ll post it. I’ll try to hype it via BB and Jry, Damn. Wish this was up last night. Brian woulda pushed it at my request during BBliveshow. Darn.
Any way. back to the show.
DanH? a THESBIAN LOL. Oh wait..
5:25 Call me out, why doncha. Love you guys!
yay, “heard ‘em say” how come?
Same night. LOL. spit my drink while DanB drank his.
what’s with kanye and ALL CAPS?
he writes like a twelve year old girl, uses puctuation, lots of it. LOL.
His first was deleted? Glad you caught it!.
what was the rage against the machine thing?
(so outta touch, but MTV sucks anyway)
Crop circles in his hair. Bwahahahaaa.
kanyeban? from the show. NOOOOOO. You know he will do something else later.
who is Katy Perry?
NICE BAN SOUND EFFECT!
(did you see the post from Kelly Clarkson, before you move on?)
I love all your segments that you interchange.
Ok. that clip was total earrape.
hipser-hop. PERFECT.
Keep DanB drunk! Aweseomesauce.
OK, not sure what this Burning Bridges segment is about.
if DanB says “thing” one more time, gonna pee in his ice cube tray.
Autotune died with Cher’s last final final, ok, this is really the final, tour.
Liking this anger thing. Keep it up!
DanH loving that Yuengling!
Thought DanB would be more drunk, but damn, drunk enough.
He did pound that (what was it, rum and coke) (my fave mixed drink)
GOD I hope he replies.
Keep it angry! This is fun.
Oh. WHISKEY!
damn. Wish you discussed the G+R thing beyond the way cool closeup thing.
I got the same BP you do, DanB, but I’m also twice your age. see a doctor! Get that in check, Cereal!
“another high number, LOL”
Me mentioned again, I’m honored!
Sometimes I think you make this show just for me, haha.
“my lips are numb” LOL
wow, gotta check out your Bros song.
Yeah, the whatnows?
You living there in allentown? /billyjoel.
Ok, I was just gonna say, danB is really drunk, then he said he’s really drunk.
LOL
aww, Hate seeing talent crashing on couches. Let’s make him FAMOUS.
Love the name Waffle Stompers.
Competent? Fuck that.
SKA.
outtake of DanH dancing please. Good for a laugh.
Anger Rocks.
I’m dan berg, I’m drunk. LOL
Bloopers were hilarious. MUST HAVE MORE in members only. Feel free to be redundant. They were hilarious.

Oh, check out the Links tab on the episode page for a link to more information about the Steven Adler/Guns N’ Roses thing. Though on second thought, why would you need to find out more since our history segment was “very educational”
