Trying to explain what this podcast is about would be like trying to teach grandma how to send an email. It seems easy enough at first but you'll soon find it an impossible task. No Format is not a nerd-cast; we're clearly two social, pleasant, good looking gentlemen (ep. 28). No Format is not a comedy-cast; we never joke about the topic at hand and take our jobs very seriously as distributors of internet content (ep. 15). No Format is not a videogame-cast; Josh has only beaten 6 out of 8 Zelda games and we rarely play videogames while podcasting (ep. 7). No Format is not a science-cast; the occasional episode on nuclear fission and mathematical proofs will appear now and then, but all together we are not great sources of information (ep. 11 & 39). And lastly, No Format is by no means a film-cast; we just happen to know someone who makes movies (ep. 27). It also just happens that we have excellent taste and never come to dissagreements on movies (ep. 42). So what would one expect from a typical episode? We don't really have a format. Chances are if you have a mustache, play(ed) with Ninja Turtles, own a telescope, hate ugly fonts, have a friend from Korea, enjoy a good scotch, have a favorite dinosaur, wished you could golf better, prefer the original theatrical Star Wars, or in general read Wikipedia articles at least 3 times per day, you'll probably find what you've been looking for all along in this, the No Format podcast.
I don't know what to write about this episode. Jason thinks it's our best episode yet, and he's being totally serial. Personally, I think he has low standards. Though I do believe you will find something of value in this episode. Like for example, a shortcut or two.
No Format goes High Definition (720p) in this special edition episode. Jason and Josh come at ya from angles you didn't think were possible. Hope your downloading this on WiFi cause this one's gonna take a while, that is unless you got business class internet like myself.
It's that time of the year again. Listen to Jason and I dig ourselves a 2013 Hole of Resolutions. And just so you know, it's Drambuie.
Just me and Jason this week. We discuss the book The Giver in no great detail, birthday cake frosting and kitty cats. Tell us in the comments if The Giver was part of your school curriculum!
ONCE AGAIN NO FORMAT IS DROPPIN' SPOILERS LIKE THEY'RE ENERGY SWORDS. It's not that they're a bad weapon, but who can afford to get that close to the enemy?! Travis Hayes joins us once again with his crappy mic and his unparalleled view on video games.
SPOILERS! DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE IF YOU HAVE NOT YET SEEN THE NEW JAMES BOND MOVIE "SKYFALL". Acclaimed movie critic Tim Karabian once again joins the No Format podcast, this time to talk Bond. After listening, why not visit www.noformatpodcast.com and tell us what you think of the latest spy flick. Just don't disagree with me.
Another lonely episode :( Josh takes on 3 school teachers in this episode of the No Format Podcast.
Semi-retired skydiver John McKee joins us this week to discuss Felix Baumgartner's controversial jump from the stratosphere.
If you know Joshua personally, you've probably noticed he speaks spanish. If you've ever asked him how he learned, you either got a curt,"I lived in Ecuador", or he told you a lie. In this episode of the No Format Podcast, Joshua reveals the truth and the reasons behind it.
Jason, Jason and Jesus are back from their Tough Mudder adventures in various parts of California. They discuss being tough while I listen and accidentally come to the conclusion that I am drinking a Cosmo (it was, however, delicious).
We're back! This one's a bruiser comin' in at 98MB. Don't plan on streaming it. I'd recommend making yourself your favorite hot beverage, plopping down in front of the computer and playing a time-consuming-but-not-particularly-involving videogame as you listen to this enhanced version of the No Format Podcast. You're in for some purdee pictures :)
Ryan, the mystery knight, Taylor joins us this week in a man-scussion about being manly and getting muddy. Don't believe us? Check out the video he shot with his GoPro strapped to his head.
No Format: back from the dead. Spoiler: we talk about SSD's. Fact: I have mixed feelings about Jeremy Renner.
You're either going to find this episode slightly entertaning or dreadfully boring depending on you're knowledge of Mushrooms, Crayons and Beatrix Potter. Jason is out this week so I hope I don't make this awkward going solo. Uh oh, I think it just got awkward. Sorry.
Joshua hasn't eaten dinner yet so this episode is pretty much driven by the excruciating hunger pangs present in his stomach. Jack in the Box patrons will know the PR photo of two tacos that was used for this episode's artwork is far form an accurate representation of their actual appearance.
Long time Batman aficionado Cyrus "The Virus" Bilimoria joins us for another one of our movie reviews. As always, our reviews are riddled with spoilers so if you haven't seen The Dark Knight Rises yet, start your download, go watch the movie, then listen to episode 48 and disagree with all of our thoughts in the comments below :)
Special guest Travis Hayes joins us on his crappy microphone for a riveting discussion about video games. We go all over the board so even if you've never played a single minute of Metroid we're sure to touch on a game that interests you. That being said, if you have successfully achieved shinespark (which to me sounds like you had a wet dream about Samus) you will certainly enjoy this weeks episode through and through.
I started writing the summary for this episode but I couldn't think of anything so I started playing Tiny Wings. Haven't heard of it? It's the seventh best selling app on the store, and a personal favorite of the No Format podcast, and Andreas Illiger just updated it to Version 2.0 adding an extra mode of play "flight school". Anyway, this episode also contains various other topics but why don't you buy Tiny Wings, download this podcast, and nestle into your favorite chair. We'll be your background music.
If you've ever experienced the confusion of setting up your own minecraft server, this episode is for you. If you've ever treated a new peripheral to a photoshoot, this episode may also be for you. If you enjoy peeping on your neighbors, this episode is definitely for you. If you enjoy doing anything special for the 4th of July, this episode is not for you.
Here at No Format we understand how exciting it is to hear your friends boast about how much fun they had on their summer vacation. That's why in episode 44 we dedicate the better part of an hour to showing you photos from our recent camping adventures. This is an enhanced podcast my friends. Listen for the audible queues that there is an image on your podcast playing device. Don't forget to leave us comments below!
feeds.feedburner.com/noformatpodcast is our new feed URL! Go to www.noformatpodcast.com for more information and to check out the new shnazzy website. You shouldn't have to do anything (and in fact you may never see this episode) if you subscribe to No Format in iTunes. But just in case, we've left you this kind note to look us up again :)
Warning! If you have not seen the newly released movie Prometheus, DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE! We go to town on the spoilers holding NOTHING back. That being said, if you have seen Prometheus, you are in for a heated disscussion between none other than the self proclaimed movie buff himself (Josh), the renowned water critic Jason, and the No Format record holding "most guest appearences" Gene Lee. Strap in, cause you're in for a ride to another planet. Or moon thereof.
Jason talks water. Joshua talks Transit of Venus. And I don't feel like writing any more description because I'm posting this at like 2:30am.
You may be extremely bored during this episode. Then again, it's no different than any other episode we've done. So if you've invested in us this far, you may as well keep going.
Gene is back from Korea and joins us once again, this time for a roundtable discussion of important stuff. So you should probably listen to it. Cause it's important. Oh, and if you haven't seen The Avengers yet, I suggest you put this episode on hold. Unless you have no interest in The Avengers. But then you might not want to listen to this episode anyway.
This episode is not for the feint of heart. Do not listen to this episode alone or even in the dark. It is my recommendation that, if you plan on listening to this episode, you keep a guard dog by your side at all times. You are warned.
Andrew Eller and Tim Karabian join us this week to do nothing more than shoot the breeze. Topics include Speed Runs, Whether or not Josh is a move buff, gadgets and much much more. PS I'm a movie buff.
One of us was traveling, the other was just lazy but we came through with this episode after all was said and done. Hope you enjoy!
Something I forgot to mention in this week's episode: This might be old news, but if you haven't yet, check out this guys treatise on the order in which you should watch Star Wars (the old and the new). It's super long but I read almost the whole thing cause it's interesting. Not that the guy has any authority on the subject. Just some guys thoughts. Anyway here it is. http://static.nomachetejuggling.com/machete_order.html
Jason, myself and friends finally went golfing 6 episodes later. We cringe at the imminent tax deadline and we shoot the s**t in general.
Do you think you have what it takes to make the cut? Would your skill set be of use on another planet? Find out in this installment of No Format where we discuss yet another topic regarding something about which we know nothing. Do not listen to this episode if you are at all skittish about bees or other flying insects. I'm just sayin'.
Whatever you may hear in the intro, this episode is indeed our thirtieth. Somehow Jason and I are always oblivious to the number of episodes we have recorded and this time is no exception. Listen to this episode if you currently wear a mustache and possess a burning hatred toward papyrus font. We don't talk about the former but I figure if you got a mustache you're bad ass enough to like our show.
After a one week sabbatical Jason and Josh are back with the podcast that happened after our cameras overheated and stopped recording. Who likes candy? Let us know.
As a gift from the No Format crew we present to you No Format Episode 28 in video. We're sorry we didn't call last week. Hopefully this makes it up ;)
Robert Krakower talks about his upcoming movie, Always Learning, which premiers March 9th at 9:30PM at the San Jose Repertory Theater.
Ryan DeOcampo joins us for a discussion on the future and golf, but not the future of golf. Just the future in general.
Another live stream for ya guys! This episode literally has no direction therefore it gets no title. Sorry for the late post, but to make up for it, we've made this an enhanced podcast! Hope you enjoy the pictures : )
This week we go live on Ustream! If you missed it, and I'm sure you did as we announced it the day we broadcast it, you can catch up on all the mayhem here. Enjoy! And don't forget to post you wallet on facebook.com/noformatpodcast
I hope you like heavy metal. And low bit depth music. That's all I have to say.
Ever wondered what it would be like to play video games all day and get paid for it? The Aizawa Bros are here, Jared and Joe, to give us the skinny on what being a video game tester is all about. Usually I have some witty comment to say after I introduce the topic of this weeks episode, but I'll be honest, nothing is coming to mind. Except that this may well be No Format's best episode yet! So listen up! And get schooled by the Aizawa Duo!
What? You didn't listen to Episode 18?! Well then you may not have heard we were going to do a movie review of Another Earth. You still have time to rent it, but don't worry, if you haven't seen it we won't give anything away. You should definitely watch it though because it may or may not be an excellent movie that you may or may not cherish for the rest of your life and afterwards you may or may not thank me for the possibly terrific cinematic experience it offers.
A scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent. This podcast, however, is none of these. Joel Paulsen joins us this week as we reminisce about boy scouts and have a man-versation about scotch and cigars. And if you've never met Joel, you should know, the man knows his scotch and cigars like a fox knows its hole.
Ever visited j-archive.com? If you haven't you should, but not before you listen to this week's episode of No Format! We invite 13 of our lucky listeners to take part in a bout of knowledge relating to no particular topic. Feel free to play along by yelling in your loudest voice directly into your iPhone. Hey, if this episode goes well, next time around we might ask YOU to be a contestant!
This episode of the No Format podcast does not cover the topic of family puppy dogs being put to sleep. After long thought and consideration, I Joshua, the editor of said podcast thought it best to protect you the listener from such topics. You can thank me in the comments. What is featured in this episode is a sad story of a different sort. The sort of story concerning a failure to understand how FeedBurner works. This episode is all business, so put your business socks on and take notes cause we ain't payin' you fer nuthin'!
This time around No Format goes international! Gene Lee, former roommate of Jason and previous renter of the room which I called home, joins us all the way from Seoul, Korea to talk about things of no particular importance. Actually we talk about what's been on everyone's minds lately - the weather. Sit back and relax as we enchant your imagination with 54 minutes of cutting-edge weather coverage. The highs, the lows, even the mids. Precipitation reports, barometer readings and gossip of next months weather. It's scandalous!
Get out the readin' glasses and put your bow tie on cause this is an intellectual episode. Eric Bricmont, son of a bonifide Archeoastronomer, joins us in a riveting conversation about Egypt, from pyramid construction to mummy curses. If you've ever lost yourself in an Egypt-related wikipedia article, give this episode a listen. You may find it sophisticatedly stimulating. And what's the deal with all the Ancient Alien shows on the History Channel. Really, History Channel, aliens?
