A podcast that focuses on weird, funny, or heart-warming news articles.
Hi OMGNAPers! Have you missed us? We bumbled our way through an episode just so we can try to bring you some waaaaaaarm fuzzies in this time of... not warm fuzzies in the world around us.

Greetings OMGNAPers! Forewarning before we get started, there is a NSFW article in this episode, which is why I have labeled this episode as explicit. It doesn't satisfy the clean tag. If you would like to watch us on YouTube instead of listening to the vocal version, please see the following link.

I wasn't sure what to name this one, but I ended up naming it for our empty beginning. :-( We have no intro because I completely had to redo my computer... and I lost the intro and outtro in the process, which makes me sad. I will, however, fix as best I can, and soon! Until then, enjoy this episode that was a long time in the making!
Long time no see, OMGNAP fans! Lives get crazy, time gets short, and episodes get... not edited. I offer my greatest apologies. We are going to try to make this a little more regular, which I've said many times. I think I shall try to apply some Metamucil to the podcast, and see what we can do from there. Never know.Here are the links to the news stories we talked about today on the podcast. Don't forget to give us some feedback! We actually have lots of questions for you to answer on today's cast, just listen in and then get ahold of us via email (omgnap@gmail.com) or on twitter @omgnap. #5 Tom Brady's helmet tattooed to his head (ouch!) http://www.thesmokinggun.com/buster/drugs/arrest-warrant-issued-for-tom-brady-superfan-890671#4 Prisoner suing NFL for $88 BILLION dollars.http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/prisoner-sues-nfl-for--88-billion-over-dez-bryant-s-overturned-catch-154343589.html#3 Steal an iPad?

So.... long time no see! Well, long time since I posted, I mean.

Hello OMGNAPers!This episode, we have to say a very sad goodbye to Jeppy, as he is stepping back from his place as a cohost on this podcast. We also need to give a very warm welcome to Mike, who will be sticking around for quite a while, I hope!I won’t keep you any longer - and so, without further ado, here are the links for this podcast!http://www.newser.com/story/171710/man-goes-to-prison-for-catastrophic-diarrhea.htmlhttp://www.newser.com/story/173645/5-craziest-crimes-of-the-week.htmlhttp://www.newser.com/story/173762/morgue-worker-notices-crash-victim-is-still-alive.htmlhttp://www.nbcnews.com/science/what-mysterious-amazon-web-baffles-scientists-8C11073468http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/09/04/20330086-honorary-alaska-mayor-clawing-his-way-back-to-health-after-vicious-dog-attack?litehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-human_electoral_candidateshttp://www.livescience.com/28828-10-strangest-sights-google-earth.htmlhttp://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/09/04/20329528-sc-governor-locks-herself-out-of-the-governors-mansion-in-her-robe?litehttp://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/09/04/20328935-anthony-weiner-argues-with-voter-during-campaign-stop-again?liteMike leaves you with a couple fun jokes:There are only 10 types of people in the world: those that understand binary and those that don’t.There are only two types of people in the world: those that can extrapolate from incomplete data
On this sleepless night, I shall bring you the next episode. It has actually been recorded for a couple weeks, so I apologize for the slow timing in getting it out, but I hope it is enjoyable anyway.This episode, the guest host is someone I have known for probably far too long, but he's an enjoyable chap, and I hope you guys like him, because he just might be hanging out in the podcast for a while.Don't forget that, if you find your own funny news stories, you can certainly email them into the show at omgnap@gmail.com! We'd love to see what you find funny in the news.Without further ado, here are the news stories from this particular episode:http://www.foxnews.com/world/2013/08/06/15-ton-fatberg-removed-from-london-sewer/?test=latestnewshttp://www.timesunion.com/local/article/Ice-cream-man-to-rival-I-own-this-town-4479911.phphttp://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/05/02/long-island-man-punches-ice-cream-cashier-for-not-taking-coupon-police-say/http://www.thefumble.com/galleries/25-ugliest-athletes-all-time/2003786http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/favorite-ice-cream-flavor/story?id=19766052http://blogs.ocweekly.com/stickaforkinit/2013/07/pop-tart_ice_cream_sandwiches_carls_jr_yum.phphttp://www.hollyscoop.com/galleries/shocking-celebrity-plastic-surgery-disasters/833136
Greetings everyone! It's been a long time, but hopefully we will be able to be more steady again. Sometimes, life just gets in the way.While there is no Jeppy this episode (sad face), there is a Bidkar, who is podcasting for the first time. Give him a huge hello, and I hope you enjoy!Oh, and we can't forget... happy birthday to Kithore!!!Links:http://www.motherjones.com/tom-philpott/2013/05/menace-manure-foam-still-haunting-huge-hog-farmshttp://www.11alive.com/news/article/270936/40/Toothbrush-causes-commotion-at-Atlanta-airporthttp://www.thelocal.de/sci-tech/20121228-47005.html#.UOcSMW_33ng - German calendar pairs nerdy gadgets and pretty girlshttp://www.cupcakequarterly.com/http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-vienna/latest-parenting-trend-ctfd-method_b_3588031.html?utm_hp_ref=mostpopularhttp://www.fandango.com/movieblog/emma-watson-playing-hermione-again-not-like-youd-think-725570.html https://twitter.com/InMyOwnDreams/status/338875192971509760/photo/1 - Tattoo picture
Happy Thanksgiving from OMGNAP! Well, at least from Dreams. :-) Jeppy doesn’t have Thanksgiving. This is an absolutely wonderful time of year, and it was so much fun to get the opportunity to record this episode. We are going to make an attempt to make more regular recordings again, but living so far away from one another and in two completely different time zones, sometimes it just doesn’t match up when dealing with Dreams’ work schedule. We will do our best, however, to make it into your Stitcher or iTunes ASAP. We’re having to fight Dreams’ ISP, as well, as it slows down far too often and causes the recordings to sound icky. Darned thing! Below are the news articles we looked at this recording, in case you’d like to take a glance and see what we’re seeing. Whether or not you are in the U.S. celebrating our holiday centered around thankfulness, we hope that you are having a wonderful week.

This. Was. The. Best. Ever. Episode. To. Edit! I totally shouldn’t have waited as long as I did, but life will do as it will. It only proves how awesome of a guest Cypher was. :-) He totally rocked, and I sincerely hope he is willing to join us again, despite some of the stink bomb articles I chose this time around. Heh. This was originally recorded around September 2, so Jeppy’s anniversary was near the beginning of the month. Happy belated anniversary, Jeppy!

I have two apologies to make - both for the noise behind the recording (I couldn’t figure out how to remove it no matter how hard I tried) and for the length of time it took me to get this out! We recorded on August 22, so this took a bit over a month. I do sincerely apologize. Life sometimes tends to take me by the horns, and it makes it a little more difficult even to do those things I love most. (For example, I’ve hardly played WoW, either. It’s terrible!) However, despite the time it took to get this out, it is no less wonderful to have recorded with Pixiegirl! Both Jeppy and I were super excited, and she was a simply wonderful guest.

Greetings OMGNAPers! Jeppy and I just had an absolute blast with our guest this week. We both want to thank Hypknotoad immensely for joining us! We have been posting episodes much more often recently, and despite the fact that Dreams will begin working again soon, we hope that we can continue the consistency. We will still be trying for as close to a weekly posting as we can get. News just keeps coming, after all, so there is never a shortage of material or conversation. Don’t forget that you can find us on Twitter. @OMGNAP for the podcast news, @eljeppy for Jeppy, and @inmyowndreams for Dreams. We are also available on Podbean, Stitcher, and in the iTunes store. :-) This show's articles: http://web.orange.co.uk/article/quirkies/i_love_poo http://www.poopreport.com/ http://www.610wiod.com/cc-common/news/sections/newsarticle.html?feed=104673&article=10330120 Man arrested after calling 9-1-1 to ask for a beer delivery http://www.sunnewsnetwork.ca/sunnews/canada/archives/2012/08/20120808-215507.html Pillow Fort http://news.yahoo.com/pittsburgh-area-man-put-ashes-bowling-ball-140004197.html?_esi=1 http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/08/us/bag-mishandled/index.html?hpt=hp_t1 Bomb at guard desk for several weeks http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2185945/Runway-clear-clothes--Vietnamese-passenger-airliner-fined-hosting-mid-air-beauty-pageant-scantily-clad-Hawaiian-dancers.html (heartwarming) http://bangordailynews.com/2012/08/08/news/bangor/orono-boys-16-save-swimmers-swept-away-in-stillwater-river-current/ http://ccmixter.org/files/AlexBeroza/38167 This is the source for the intro and outtro background music.
Greetings! Thank you so much for listening to another episode of Oh My Goodness, Not Another Podcast! This week was a very exciting week, as there were two guests - one whom has known me since I was around fifteen (poor man, I know), and another whom is one of my favorite voices ever. Eszrah and Tinock! Unfortunately, Jeppy was unable to make this episode, though he did try. He sent bum squeezes and hugs to the guests, and hellos to the listeners. (If you all behave yourselves, you might just get some bum squeezes, as well. But that would be to his discretion.) We got through more stories today than we usually do, but that’s awesome! Here are the links: http://www.wdbo.com/videos/news/weird-news/dog-feces-thrown-in-neighborly-fight/vczYf/ http://www.kdhnews.com/news/story.aspx?s=68271 (From my home town - striking her boyfriend wtih a stripper pole) http://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/Police-Pa-man-stole-kitchen-utensils-small-dog-3753520.php http://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/Teddy-bears-drop-in-bring-down-2-Belarus-generals-3753606.php http://www.nwfdailynews.com/articles/girl-51200-aid-victim.html (Fight over...

(This episode is a repeat, some may already have listened. I actually fixed some issues, and hopefully it will run smoothly on iTunes again. I do apologize for the inconvenience! But I did want to get it fixed ASAP.) Hello! Welcome to another episode of OMGNAP. :-) This episode we have a pair of Aussies using the names Melindria and ForteTwo, and we have the illustrious Jeppy. (We have Jeppy for the second in a row - shhhh, don’t say anything! It might jinx it!) We did have to schedule between three different time zones this time, so I was a little groggy - hehe. That’s ok! It only adds to the amusement, I swear. >.
Oh My Goodness! We made the 10th episode! I’m so, so happy to reach this milestone. There have been blips and technical difficulties along the way, but we are here! For this epic episode, I am joined by Jeppy and Juuno - two of my favorite co-hosts. We have a lot of fun, and in honor of the milestone, this episode is 2 hours long. (!!!!) I didn’t actually intend it to turn out that way, but we were having so much fun, I just didn’t stop us until we all had to go do other things. :-) ALSO, you will notice that the podcast has a brand new intro! I believe the music used in it is awesome and exactly what I was looking for to start and end the podcast - along with a few of the listeners piping in with the name of the cast, of course. I found the music at the following link - check out the artist. He seems very talented. http://ccmixter.org/files/AlexBeroza/38167 I hope that you have a wonderful week, that I can bring you another episode next week, and that the technical difficulties have been resolved. Woot! (Speaking of technical difficulties, I have had some listeners who have let me know that the episode randomly jumps when listening on their mobile devices - changing to another episode in the middle. I have tried to track down this problem myself, and I can’t figure it out! I edited this episode very minimally in an attempt to fix it. I have it down to one of two things. I didn’t use one of them this time - if this episode works, I know that was the problem. If it still gives the listeners trouble, I’ll try taking out the other thing instead. We’ll track it down! Thank you so much for listening despite the issues! Listening on the computer or online doesn’t seem to be an issue. I am able to listen from iTunes directly without a problem, and I am able to listen through both Stitcher and Podbean without a problem.)

Goodness, the technical difficulties were flying this episode! We had 9 recordings. (9!!!) So, as a result, some of it may seem a bit non-linear. I didn’t leave in all of the conversations in between, just a couple that were particularly amusing for one reason or another before we started again. My co-host this week was Ashayo! Goodness, I had so much fun recording with him, despite the internet difficulties, and he was very patient with my crazy connection problems. We worked through them all, disconnected and reconnected repeatedly, and had to double check that the program was recording so many times that it nearly made my head spin, but it was all worth it. I think each episode just keeps getting easier and easier for me to record and edit. (Which is good for you, the listener, because it means I get things out more often. Yay!) Upcoming is a bit of a vacation for me - I’ll be away from the household for two weekends, and since my recording software is on my desktop, it’s unlikely I’ll be able to record during my absence. As such, it’ll be a bit before we have another recording of OMGNAP, but hopefully we can get that arranged soon for the 10th episode. I also highly intend to have the intro (and maybe even an outtro?) ready by that point, so it is not quite so abrupt a beginning and ending. I hope you enjoy!

It’s only been two weeks this time! That’s better, right? I did intend to record last weekend, but I was in the middle of moving and simply had not set up my computers yet. Come to find out that I did actually get it in time, but that’s alright. Next week the record time will change, as Sunday is my 12 year wedding anniversary with my husband, and my childrens’ birthday - they will be 8. I believe we’ll be focused on other things that day. I am hoping to still have a recording, however, Friday afternoon, Saturday, or Monday! We’ll see if anyone is willing to record with me. >.
