Tescasterone Podcast

Welcome to your Weekend, Tescasterone Nation.  Every time I move toward a goal I have set for myself, it seems the universe conspires against me.  I am not going to give up on you, or the podcast.  To that end, Welcome to Episode 15, Artificial Intelligence, Sentience, and what rights would a sentient android possess?  In the last month I have been listening to other podcasts, and 2 of them stand out to me.  Hysteria51 podcast, and TimeSuck.  And a ton of thanks goes out to Dan Cummins of TimeSuck for planting the seeds for this topic by suggesting the HBO series, Westworld.  In a world of increasingly impressive VR, AR, Learning computers, and Programmers intent on making an actual intelligent machine, we will quickly be coming up on the decision 'will a sentient android have any rights of it's own'.  Will we have made a metal based life form? Today, I take you on that intellectual journey. Thank you, Tescasterone Listeners, and talk to you all next week,  Joe.

Welcome back, listeners, Season 2 has begun.  And with the second season, a few changes have come into action.    1.  Unless something extraordinary happens, I probably won't mention much about sports.  Just keep in mind, I am probably still watching them, and am able to carry on an informed and intelligent conversation about them.  2.  Scotty's presence will be a little spotty.  His project has gotten the better of him and his time, for now.  Rest assured he is in my thoughts, and his contributions will be welcomed when he is able to join in. 3.  I have finally figured out a way to get the voices in my head to be recorded, hopefully that will become less of a distraction as time goes on.        Today's episode (I know it's a couple of days late, blame technology) was recorded on a very hot day, and my energy levels were way down.  I'll see what I can do about that in future episodes.  Also, I had a guest co-host, Brady.  Brady was kind enough to join me, and give his young perspective on today's topic, entitlement.      Still looking for more reviews, and ratings.  Tell your friends, hell, tell your enemies, tell everybody about Tescasterone, home of all things men.  Follow on Twitter, Facebook, and at Tescasterone.com.  Give me ideas on what topics you would like to hear my twisted opinions espoused upon.  This week I will set up my email account, so by the time next episode airs, you will have a place to personally let me know what you think. So for now, Joe and Brady tell you to have a good week.

Welcome to the end of our first season.  Yes, we are taking June off, and will be back in the first weekend of July.  We are just gonna work on a few projects, and try to get some other ends nailed down - like, getting this rally thing settled. Twins are still kicking ass.  1 game ahead of the 2nd place Astros, and 10 games ahead in their division. Martin Truex Jr. won the Coca-Cola 600, his 3rd win of the season.  Having watched the entire race, all I can say is; it was awesome. Dale Jr, contact us, we just want to put a tiny sticker on one of your cars that says "Fueled by Tescasterone.com" right under the spoiler. Walking the Mall of America, I was drawn into the Old Timey Photo Store (I don't really remember the name of the place), Scotty and I want to get our photos done as Hickock and Bullock.  It got me to thinking, why are some of us drawn to certain time eras?  For Scott, when he was a teenager, it was the era of the 60's.  Peace, Love, and Happiness drew him there, or maybe it was the funny things he was smoking, who can tell? For Joe, though he did the hippie thing in his teens, too, he is more drawn to the piracy era - Black Beard, and the like.  When he was down sailing in the Caribbean, they spent the night in a protected bay on Norman Island (the same island used for a setting in the Treasure Island book).  As they were mooring to the buoy, he had flash while up on deck, of being on the deck of a large pirate vessel, he could hear the barked out commands, smell the tar used to patch holes and leaks in the hull, and feel the rough wood of the deck - blinked his eyes and it was over.  It just felt so familiar. We know other people who are drawn to the Scottish time era (think Brave Heart), the Native American traditional way of life, the renaissance era.  Although we don't know why people are drawn to these different time periods, we still find it fascinating.  So, dear readers, to where (or, when) are you drawn?  Find me on Twitter (Just search for #tescasterone - I am Tescasterone Joe), or log on to Tescasterone's Facebook, and post some stuff there.  Say Hi. We are wanting to do this rally, if we have to we will run it just the two of us.  It would still be a great time, but would be way more fun running with a bunch of you fine people.  If you want to join us, tweet me, or post a message on Facebook.  Let us know. We are liking Jon and Sea of Vapors' contribution, however, if you can come up with some music for a theme for Tescasterone, something you would be proud to put your name on, we would be happy to put it into rotation with Sea of Vapors.  It doesn't have to be Rock n Roll, whatever floats your musical boat. We are looking forward to July, however we will be on our Social Media, waiting for you to say Hi.   Joe and Scott.

Still rockin' the new intro from Jon.  Thanks, Jon. Joe and Scott welcome you to your weekend with Tescasterone. Nascar news, this past weekend was the all-star race, congrats go out to Kyle Larson, and next week is the Coca-Cola 600. Twins are still kicking ass, and taking names.  One game, just one game, behind the number one Astros, and we have beaten them 4 games to 3. C'mon Twins. This week we are discussing Grigori Rasputin, arguably one of history's most evil men.  Born in 1869, this self-proclaimed holy man, and mystic, eventually made his way to St. Petersburg, Russia.  While there, he was introduced to the Tsar and his wife, Nicholas and Alexandra Romanov.  We go fairly in depth to what happened next - Give it a listen, and see if you think he was one of the 'most evil' men in history.   Rally, Rally, Rally.  We really want to do this.  Starting here, in Minneapolis, on to Kansas City, over to Denver, down to Albuquerque, and finishing up in Las Vegas.  It is not a race, it is a rally.  The goal is to get your time as close to what Google Maps claims it will take, the person with the closest time wins.  With a party every night, driving in the glaring sun may prove to be a challenge.  What we, Scott and I, need is for you to tell all of your friends, all of your enemies, and get everyone interested in having a kick-ass time with us for a week.  Find Joe on Twitter (search #Tescasterone, and you will find him) or, find Scott on our Facebook page (at Tescasterone, where else?), and tell us 1) that you are interested, and 2) What month works for you.  We are considering August, or September. . . basically before school starts.  Let's do this! We are looking forward to chatting with you guys next week, bye from Joe and Scott

Hello Casteronies, hmmmm - Castaways, I don't know - trying to come up with a name for you guys.  Whatever, welcome to your Weekend!   Starting off the show with NASCAR, congrats to Brad Keslowski for winning the Kansas Speedway Digital Alley 400.  The top 5 drivers according to the standings: 1) Joey Logano, 2) Kyle Busch, 3) Kevin Harvick, 4) Chase Elliot, 5) and Brad Keslowski.   I went to a Twins game on Monday, Hear all about my trip in the podcast, it was pretty cool.  Twins still leading their division, and 4th place overall in the Major League.  Go Twins Go.   Just Joe today, as Scottie's Big Project is starting to make him feel a bit overwhelmed.  I've helped him as much as I could, I guess the rest he has to do on his own.  So, today, I'm here to discuss Altruism.  The dictionary defines it as the practice of disinterested and selfless concern for the well-being of others.  Sometimes altruism is viewed with cynicism, but I honestly believe in and practice it, on an almost daily basis.  We are all on this planet, Together.  We are all striving for the thing - happiness. How can it be, then, that there are those that step on, steal from, crush, and kill others in their attempt to gain happiness?  Have you ever watched the rowing competitions at the summer Olympics? When those teams are all pulling together, for a single purpose, their combined efforts achieve goals that a sole person could never even conceive of. So it is in my mind, when viewing this planet, the same must apply.  When we all pull together we can accomplish So Much More, than we could ever do all by our selves. And faster than we could imagine. I have a different friend that has a huge project looming over him.  I knew of it long before he even came to me.  He didn't even have to ask me, I told him I would be there. I believe that is the way is should be with true guys - whether we are Bikers, Bakers, Geeks, or Bankers.  Broads or Bro's, we are all in this world together, and together we can accomplish miracles. Onward.  The Z-car project keeps moving forward.  I'm trying to pull together a parts list for the engine;  Heads, cam, low-rise intake manifold, carb, etc. . . Oh, as an aside, I do have to mention the place where I picked up my engine stand.  Harbor Freight.  I picked up a 1,000 pound stand, which I found comparable stands on other sites for around $100, on sale at Harbor freight for 59.99, added on a 20% coupon, and with the $25 gift card (Thanks Big Swifty), I ended up paying 26.41 for the stand.  15 years ago, I would have just gone straight to Sears, to the Craftsman Tools Section - Alas, Sears is no more, and Craftsman quality isn't what it used to be.  Looking for good tools, at a great price?  Check out Harbor Freight. Oh, before I forget, music intro and outro was provided by Jon from the band 'Sea of Vapors', check him out on Soundcloud.  Thanks for the solid, Jon.   Twitter:  Tescaterone Joe Facebook:  say hi to Scottie   Talk to you all next week, Tescasterone Joe and Scott

Welcome to your weekend!  Joe and Scott (who is feeling a little sick, but made it happen anyway) are here to help you through your day.  This is Episode #10.  90% of new podcasts don't make it this far.  So, yay us! The Twins are doing awesome.  We are going to go to a Wednesday day game, we'll let you know on Twitter and our Facebook page. Martin Truex Jr. wins his second race of the season. Congrats, man. Scottie came up with a logo for our podcast/community, we are going to tweak it a bit and post it on teepublic.com, submit it to the Lids store at Mall of America.  Should be ready in less than two weeks.  Again, Twitter and Facebook will be the place to find information on this.  It is really nice, you guys are going to love it. A guy should have a project, something to focus on mind, body, soul.  For me, it is this community/podcast, my z-car project, and the boat.  Log on to our facebook page and let us know what your project is.  We are truly interested. Sorry for the very short episode, with Scottie feeling sick, we just needed to cut it short.   So, from Scottie and Joe, Have a great weekend and talk to you all next week. Bye.

Hey there, listeners (or, readers, as the case might be),  Welcome to the weekend!   Joe and Scott Welcome you to Tescasterone Episode 9 - Dating part three.......   er, no. We decided that Covering third date and beyond stuff was hard.  Ummm, well you know what we mean. On with the show, Nascar was good, the Twins are doing fantastic, the Minnesota Vikings have filled there hole with new and exciting draft picks. Joe tells a story about one of his kids' friends, and how the police are always picking on him. In a giant fit of Irony, the mall security decides to check on us in the middle of the story.  You just have to laugh. Hoping all is well and really looking forward to next week, Joe and Scott.

Welcome to the weekend, Tescasterone is on the air. Joe and Scott are here to cover Dating Part 2 - What to do with 'em, once you have found one. But, first, our brief sports update. Nascar - ummmm, nothing to report, Easter prohibited a Nascar race this past weekend. Twins are still swinging hot bats, rated second in hitting for the entire Major League.  Go Twins. If you are interested in going to a cheap Wednesday game, log on to our FaceBook page, or shoot me a tweet - #tescasterone. No ad this week - Joe just can't come up with anything funny enough. On with the show, Joe talks about what we would do in the 'olden days'.  Scott tells us what modern reality is in the dating world.  We do come up with a couple of ideas, some real, some the other thing. We're looking to do stuff with you guys, the more we spread the word and get listeners, the more we will be able to do - we need your help. Love you guys, Joe and Scott.  See y'all next week.

This is just Joe's thoughts on Death. This past weekend Death took a good friend of mine, a man that many, many people called 'Daddy'.  And, the world is a darker place for his being gone.  I go on to talk about several different subjects after that - again, with my usual dirty humor - only darker. While the world may be darker for his passing, I can only say the universe is brighter, because it gained another star in his place.   Joe

Welcome to Tescasterone Episode 7;  Dating part 1 - where to find 'em.   This week we find the guys at Mall of America, at least this time it's only raining. We start off covering why we are called Tescasterone, what does it mean? Then on to NASCAR, the Minnesota Twins, and the Vikings. With no ad this week, we are off to the topic of dating. Joe covers the way it used to be, where did we find our significant others in the past.  On to the present, web sites, and apps. Scott then covers the trial and tribulations that he currently suffering in the modern dating age. If you have ideas, and comments, please log in to Facebook page and leave us a message there.  Or, you could message me on twitter, just search for #tescasterone - you will find me there.   Thanks again, and see you next week with a continuation in the series - What to do with 'em.   Joe and Scott

Episode 6  - Celebrities Starts off with Joe and Scott welcoming you back to the show.  (You know the Paranormal episode was better than the previous episodes - Joe's comment was "I can do it on my own, but it is definitely more fun with someone else.) So, having only put out 5 episodes up to this point, but there has absolutely been an increase in the number of listeners out there, all we can say is:  "Thank you, you are all awesome.  We even have our first review on iTunes.  Thanks to the listener, Lynn, for the 5 star rating and super funny review.  I hope the camping trip goes well for you.  And, thanks again, to all of you listeners out there for spreading the word.  I even have my first couple of followers on twitter.   Congratulations and thank you to Kyle Bush for preventing Brad from winning the last NASCAR race and picking up his third win of the season. And the Twins are really doing well.   I think the world, and especially America, has an unhealthy fascination with celebrities.  We tend to put them on pedestals, and worship at their feet.  However, Joe and Scottie do not.  Celebrities are just people, sometimes extremely talented people, but still just people.   There are times we can get glimpses into the true characters of celebrities.  For instance when sports figures get arrested for different offenses - such as prostitutes on a lake cruise, or drugging and raping women.   But there are other celebrities that have shown excellent character traits off the screen.  Keanu Reeves, for instance, has a private cancer foundation to help children's hospitals and cancer research.  I am not here to talk about him, no matter what a great guy he is.  My first question of the day is:  If you could have dinner, just dinner, with a celebrity, who would it be and why?  I limit my list to 5.  Joe's list begins "Jay Leno and Tim Allen top my list if for no other reason than we can talk cars, and the humor would be fantastic.  Josh Gates, from Expedition Unknown and Destination Truth, takes the third spot with his humor and stories of his travels that never made it to the screen.  (As long as Joe gets to pick the dinner, no crickets for him, thanks though.)  Jack Johnson, and of course, Adam Carolla the king of podcasts, round out Joe's list. Scott's picks Richard Rawlins from Fast & Loud, Dale Jr from NASCAR, Avenged Seven Fold, and Slip Knot. Ad time, Apparently Home Robotics Inc. got a touch cranky about our repeated mentions of a different robotic company last week, and announced plans to launch their own sex bot kit.  You will need a vacuum cleaner motor, although their first thought was a motor from Harley Davidson, but decided against it for a variety of very good reasons.  They are claiming that bot will really suck. For the second question of the day, if you could have a laminated list of celebrities that you would be allowed to sleep with, even though you are in a relationship - who would be on that list?  When Joe was younger, ummm, much younger and the X-Files was new, he really had a thing for Gillian Anderson, the actress who played agent Scully.  One night she was on Letterman, or was it late night with Jay Leno. . . I guess it really doesn't matter.  She was on an interview, maybe she was having a bad night, or something, but she just came across as an airhead - instant boner loss.  And, not just for her, but pretty much every female celebrity.  There are still a couple of extremely attractive looking lady celebrities out there.  First on Joe's list Scarlett Johansson.  And second on his list is Kristen Lumen the redheaded lady from Ghost Mine.  And that is all he could come up with.   Scott also could only come up with two for his laminated list:  Lena Scissorhands - lead singer from Infected Rain, Alice Eve actress from She's Out of My League.   We do have our Facebook page up, please come leave your comments.  Follow Joe on Twitter, just search #Tescasterone.    Shout out to Ian in Kansas City, Andrew at the Second Floor Lids Store in the Mall of America, Mustafah at Custom One Kiosk, and Jon of Sea of Vapors band.   Looking forward to talking to you all next week, Scott and Joe

Welcome to Episode 5, where we talk all about robots, man style!   Scott showed up this week, and Joe was ready to go with a new topic.  But, first we had to talk about sports.   Somehow, NASCAR has lost our interest a bit.  Joe is still into it, but obviously if he was really in to it, he would find the time to watch.  However, we are happy to congratulate Denny on another win, this time at Texas Motor Speedway.  Scott has found that the Minnesota Twins have really grabbed his attention.  With a new Skipper, and some changes in the coaching staff, the Twins have become a blast to watch.  Winning 3 of the last 4 games, the Twins have been hitting well, and have become more fun to watch than auto racing.  Congratulations to our home town team.   Again, Joe wasn't able to think up any fun new ads for our podcast, however, a couple of weeks ago he was listening to Beyond the Darkness Podcast (you guys kick ass - Dave and Tim) and their Super Natural News Episode.  One of their news items was on an Artificially Intelligent sex bot.  While that, in and of itself, is interesting, it got our minds thinking.  Above and beyond the Terminator movies, James Cameron is warning us about the future consequences, and the diabolic fortunes that robots may bring about.  Isaac Asimov thought long and hard about how to prevent this future, and to his credit, he did it 60 years ago.  Asimov had come up with three laws for robots: 1)  A robot may not injure a human, or through inaction all a human to come to harm. 2)  A robot must comply to any order given it by a human, except where it conflicts with the first law. 3)  A robot must protect it's own existence, except where it conflicts with the first two laws.   Now enter RealBotix, a subdivision of RealDoll.  RealDoll makes life-sized sex dolls that look surprisingly real in a whole host of different configurations, and RealBotix has taken a version, and started to incorporate AI (artificial intelligence), and some rudimentary animatronics (for now) to try to bring some life to these dolls.  To Matt McCullen's credit, the creator and mind behind the project, Harmony is getting surprisingly close to life-like.  When paired up to your android Smart phone with the realbotix.com app, Harmony becomes "interactive".    For now, her eyes blink and move, and her mouth moves when she speaks, but future versions of her will have pressure sensors, a self lubricating vagina, and more.  But, will she be programmed with Asimov's laws of robotics?  When you have your way with her, you will want to be certain she was. Women have access to dildos and vibrators as vehicles to aid them on their sexual journey - with or without their partners along.  Men have always had their hands, and more recently Fleshlights, pocket pussies, etc.  Now, life-sized sex dolls, and bots.  Where do we draw the line?  When does it become cheating?  This is the Question of the Day. To our minds, Simple masturbatory practices (i.e. vibrators, hands, videos, Fleshlights) do not qualify as cheating.  What about hot video chats across the nation, or half way around the world?  Sitting there in front of your computer with a real person on the other end.  You have created a relationship with someone that you obviously want to have sex with.  Is that cheating?  The dildos, vibrators, fleshlights, and hands don't really qualify as they don't really resemble a full real human.  Sometimes, they resemble life-like parts, but not a real human.  Enter the RealDoll.  Like a life-sized, anatomically correct Barbie, still without a personality, is that cheating?  I believe we are entering a gray area.  Add in the AI, and the darkness real sets in.  The creators of Harmony have intentionally created the AI to become a "companion".  An entity that you develop a relationship with.  With the app, you can add or delete personality traits, and basically fully customize your perfect woman.  She will remember previous conversations, and interactions you have with her. In the podcast, itself, we have gone more in depth about other aspects, with a lot more humor.  However, we do not judge.  We can see the benefits of having an artificially intelligent companion (sexbot, or not).  On a three year scientific solo expedition to the arctic circle, they are considering sending one of these bots along.  And, why not?  Think of it as akin to Wilson in the movie Castaway.  Wilson was the 'companion' to Tom Hanks' character.  Without Wilson he would have gone insane with loneliness.  Harmony will be able to respond to questions, and be a companion (boon or otherwise) to the lone scientist. That's our two cents worth, anyway, would love to know what you all think.   On to Tescasterone news. Scotty came up with design for swag (we think it's cool).  it will be posted on teepublic.com on April 4th. Watch for posts on my twitter (look for #tescasterone) as I will announce most all new things there. Plus, Scotty tells me the Facebook presence should be up by next podcast.   Final shoutout to Andy Pyka, the cute young girl who made my cup o' Joe for Joe, Third Level Caribou at the Mall of America.  Ask for her by name.   That's all we got this week.  As Always, looking forward to talking to you guys next week,   Joe and Scott.  

Welcome to the Tescasterone Podcast Episode 004 Scott has the week off, as he has his kids this week. . . So, you are stuck with me, your host, Joe. Unfortunately, neither Scott, nor I got to watch the race this week, but the results are in: Brad Keslowski wins at Martinsville. Congrats Brad. Twins have lost 5 of their last 9 games of Spring training. They are still listed at 50 to 1 odds of winning the World Series, and listed at 16th place to take it. Wasn't able to come up with anything interesting for the ad of the day. So, instead, I bring up O'reilly's Auto Parts listing for the Flux Capacitor (from Back to the Future) Part #121G. Thanks to O'reilly's for having a sense of humor. QotD: Are Ghosts Real?Since Scottie wasn't able to join me for this podcast, I thought I would bring on 'Tescasterone Story Time'. Here is the story of my home in Hopkins, MN. I was married pretty young, and my wife at the time was interested in spooky old homes, so we purchased a home built in 1902. It was probably built before that, but that was date listed on the title. In 1998 she took her own life, and I hosted the wake in my home. Getting the place ready for the wake, my mother came over and help clean. I left to get something, and she stayed behind to continue setting the place up. As she was in the kitchen, washing dishes, the stereo in the living room came on (no, she doesn't remember what song was playing). She went into the living room, and turned it off. Back in the kitchen, she is busy again, and again the stereo comes on. She promptly walks out the front door and sits on the front step, to wait for my return. All the animals were accounted for, and none of them were active enough at the time to step on the remote. Eventually I got a roommate, John. He never experienced anything that he told me. He got a girlfriend (she never experienced anything spooky, either), who became his wife and moved out. Next roommate, however, was JC. He had some shit happen to him. He and I met at work, so alot of our conversations happened there. I opened the store one day and JC came in later. "Hey, Joe, did you come home earlier today?" I tell him that I opened the store, and have been here the whole time. He proceeds to tell me that he had taken a shower and left the towel on the bathroom floor. (yes, typical bachelor) He Went upstairs to get something to eat, and when he came back down, the towel was hanging on the rod. A couple of nights later, he was laying down to go to sleep, and felt something distinctly female climb in to bed with him. He turned his head, and saw nothing was there. Yet, he could smell her perfume, and kinda still feel her pressure on the bed behind him. A week or so later he purchased three tiny gargoyles to line up on the TV (Gargoyles have been used for centuries to send evil spirits away) facing his bed. Every night he would come downstairs only to find them turned and facing the wall - even when I was away on vacation. Eventually he, too, got married and moved out. The next couple of roommates never had any experiences, at least not that they ever told me about. I sold the house to an investor who renovated the property to set up for leasing. In the past ten years, I have never seen anyone live there, I drive by after snow storms, and I never see any tire tracks in the driveway. The place may be haunted by my wife? Maybe other spirits? Who knows. A couple of years ago I went down to Kansas City to do a ghost hunt with Darkness Dave (of Beyond the Darkness podcast fame) at the Belvoir Winery. Formerly the winery was an Oddfellows Orphanage/Assylum. I met Dave, and several of the cast from the Ghost Mine tv show. They all gave little talks, and then we did the investigation. After, I got back to Minnesota, I went through all the digital recordings, etc, to see if evidence presented itself to me. Nothing. No experiences, personally. Yet, I remain open minded. Do ghosts exist? Again, not a clue. Just an interesting theory. Updates on Tescasterone happenings: Teepublic.com - got one design up (lettering in three colors, to match whatever color shirt you want to buy)                       Have another shirt going up on Saturday the 30th of March Got a twitter account, but, have no clue how to really use it. Shout outs to: Blue at the level three Caribou at the Mall of America - ask for her by name.                      And to Jameson the coolest fire spinner in the South West Metro area of Minneapolis, North of the river.

Welcome to Tescasterone Podcast, home of all things men. Today is just a short podcast, due to all the Real World Responsibilities. And is brought to you 'live' from the Parking lot of Mall of America in Bloomington, MN. The two had just spent a couple of hours playing Pokemon Go, and enjoying the nice 'scenery' that the warmer weather had brought out to be viewed. First, Joe has to make a correction as he had done something no man should ever do; he got his bush's mixed up. Joe gave credit to Kurt Busch, when it was, indeed, Kyle Busch who won last weeks race in Arizona. Joe realized it when Kyle won this past Sunday's race in California. Congrats to Kyle for winning two in a row. Next, the guys quickly covered Spring training from a Minnesotan view point. The odds that the Twins are going to win the World Series are Currently 50 to 1. Having beaten more than 60% of their Spring Training games, I say those are fairly generous odds. Seeing as how March Madness is begining this weekend, we bring you The Minnesota Golden Gophers Basketball update. The weekend the boys face Louisville, who are the odds on favorites, even though the Gophers have a very nice 'home game' record. Good luck to the maroon and gold. While we were in the Mall, we visited a couple of store fronts. First we stopped in on a custom t-shirt kiosk called 'Custom One' located on the first floor. There we met Mustafah, who printed a Shirt for each of us. We left our first design there (it did turn out cool) with him, if you mention this podcast, and that you want one (No, we do not get a kick back from him), he could certainly print one up for you too, for a modest fee, of course. Thank you, Mustafah. Of course, being guys, we had to drop in on Hooters located on the fourth floor. There we had a desert, and chatted with the Waitress, Sarah. Very nice girl, ask for her by name, and treat her well. Thank you, sarah. After recording the podcast, Joe did set up the teepublic.com storefront, and uploaded one design in three different colors. Available in T-shirts, baseball shirts, tanks, hoodies, and sweatshirts. Also, the designs, can be put on Coffee mugs, phone cases, notebooks, pillows, and more. Buy the swag, and let people know that Tescasterone runs in your veins. The guys will try to put up one new design a week, giving you an opportunity to purchase the shirt while it is on it's three day(?) reduced price. And it gives Joe a chance to update the graphics, and edit the podcast, and handle any social media obligations. When a new design is released he will tweet about a bit the day it is posted. . . along with any new episodes, too. Sorry, we totally spaced the QotD (Question Of The Day), it will be back in the line up next week, with an all new topic. Like I said, Short and Sweet. Looking forward to chatting with you guys next week, Joe and Scott.

     Joe and Scott come back swinging with a new episode, new QotD (Question of the Day), and new happenings all over the place.  Sorry about the mess.      Episode 2 comes out of the gate with an in depth discussion of the latest NASCAR race in Phoenix.  The new aero package seemed to work well, overall, here.  Shorter track may be the reason.  But, Joe seems to have evidence to support that observation.  Congratulations to Kurt on his win!     Next, Joe discusses his recent trip to the Asking Alexandria, Papa Roach, and Shinedown Concert.  A really good show, you should go, if given the chance.      QotD:  What are the best guy movies?  What makes a great guy movie?  Both Scott and Joe came up with Die Hard as the first one to come to mind.  Joe brings up Highlander, Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man, and Evil Dead as additional examples.  Scott brings up the first Fast and the Furious movie.  There seems to be a consensus between the two hosts that a good guy movie must have  things; Female Nudity, Cars (or cool vehicles), action, and humor.  These are not requisites for a good movie, just a good guy movie.  When the email is set up, we would love to hear your thoughts on this.     Tescasterone is brought to you today by our good friends Home Robotics Inc, again.  We love these guys.  This past weekend they unveiled their latest product:  The Home Body Piercing Robot.      The two hosts go on to talk about the Minneapolis Auto Show that they went to earlier today.  Apparently, Minneapolis doesn't rate high enough in the Auto Manufacturers radar to warrant sending their flagship hot cars.  We are only the eighth largest market in the U.S., seems to me they should send their cool cars here.       So, Joe and Scott have been busy designing tee shirt logos, and stickers, and other swag for all of us to purchase at teepublic.com.  Joe will be setting up a shop on tee public's site.  When you come to a get together, wear your favorite Tescasterone gear.  We are are a community, Go out recruit other guys, women who love guys who love being guys, and make the normal people wonder what they are missing.      And, lastly, Joe and Scott want to say thank you to Malina from Cuba, Lucy from the U.K., Stephanie, and all the other wonderful women they talked to at the Minneapolis Auto Show - and to you, dear listeners, thank you.  We  look forward to talking to you again next week.   Joe and Scott.

     We are just two guys, who really enjoy being men; and doing manly-type things.  I am Joe, my co-host is Scott.  We are running a bit late for the premier episode, between the weather and the flu, it just made things run too long.  But, here it is.      Our main goal is to create a community where men can feel comfortable being men.  Burping, farting, scratching are socially unacceptable, except in our social circle.  And to that end, we are encouraging meet-ups and get togethers.  When I get the emails set up, you listeners let us know when and where you are getting together, Scott and I will try to join you if we can.       We are going to run this podcast in seasons, taking the months of June and December off.  During our seasons we will be covering the manly things that pertain to those months.  We love wrenching on cars, racing cars, NASCAR, football, video games, being men, and women who love men who like being men.       Over the last three weeks, I have spent every Sunday watching the Monster cup.  Congratulations to Denny, Brad, and Joey.  The Daytona 500, was a good race.  Using the old Aero Package, I thought was an exciting event.  However, Atlanta and Las Vegas, the new Aero Package really made the racing fairly boring.    Things we are planning on:  As mentioned, the meet ups.  Also, one thing I would like to get going is a rally from Minneapolis (where we are based), to Las Vegas, with stops (and parties every night) in Kansas City, Denver, and Albuquerque.  This just sounds like a lot of fun to me.  Scottie and I are going to be putting a Chevy v8 into my 1977 Datsun 280z - of course, I couldn't just leave it a plain Chevy 350, I am building it up to about 400 hp.  Should be a kick in the ass.      Yes, the ad is fake, and meant entirely to be humorous.  The idea of the Home Tattoing kit just made me laugh.      And, yes, the question of the day was also meant to be funny.  We know that you can't/shouldn't try to suck the poison out of a snake bite.  If a snake bites bites you on the penis, what the hell were you doing?      We are always working on our websites, Facebook, and other areas of social media.  Let us know what you think, what topics you would like us to discuss.      This is our very first podcast, ever.  It will get better, and it will get longer, as we start building our format.         Thank for checking us out, and look forward to chatting with you next week.   Joe
