Podcasts about zaphod

Zdravo. V epizodi, kjer nas svetilnost kitajske ure pošteno vrže iz tira, brezsramno preigramo vse od Esmeralde, Jezusa, otrokom prijaznih jaht (ker za otroke gre in tudi bogati otroci si zaslužijo lepo otroštvo), do tega, da številka devetinšestdeset (69) že dolgo ni več smešna. Tudi 9. poglavje dodatka trilogije v petih delih obdelamo. V njem se pojavijo nore krave, take, ki si res želijo biti pojedene. Ugotovimo, da ima Zaphod v tej knjigi res močno podjetniško žilico, vse pa se pripravlja na bitko med Thorom in Ovečenim Velepotežem.

Zdravo. Tokratno epizodo začnemo z debato o aplikacijah za zmenke, povezavo z republikanskimi dogodki (glej zapiske), kaj kmalu pa od Grindrja preidemo na zadnjice, modo in lepotne ideale, ki jih zadnjih 5 do 10 desetletij izvažajo Združene države Amerike. Malo manjše riti, o katerih pojejo Mi2, bi morale biti že dobro desetletje malo večje riti. Kako od riti preidemo na nemško Vidmarjevo vilo, časovne okvire, gotovino ali kartice, šmorn, praznik dela in se ustavimo na Asgardu, kjer se Zaphod vozi z vlačugo. Medtem ugotavljamo, da je včasih pekel edino mesto, kjer imaš vsaj dobro družbo. Včasih je to pekel, drugič spet piknik.

Infosec Decoded Season 5 #31: ZaphodWith Doug Spindler and sambowne@infosec.exchangeLinks: https://samsclass.info/news/news_042225.htmlRecorded Tue, Apr 22, 2025

Zdravo. Ob koncu retrogradnega Merkurja se spomnimo na Appleove slušalke, ki režejo visoke tone, in ugotovimo, da dvelovnik postaja resna politična platforma. Če bi kdo dvelovniku dodal še kabino za zdravljenje, ki jo občudujemo že celo 6. knjigo, bi volili tudi politično opcijo, ki je na nasprotni strani od tovar'ša Kordiša. V zadnjem delu 7. poglavja spremljamo Zaphoda, ki se je znašel na mavričnem mostu: nad njim so zmaji, za njim topovi, Zaphod pa kot mojster visoko stresnih situacij precej srečno pride skoraj do konca mostu, ko ga Helheim ustavi. Na pomoč prihiti zvita palica, Zaphod pa konča z mislijo, ki vsebuje tudi mistično “eno pivo”.

Zdravo. Tokrat se lotimo revolucionarne ideje: petdnevnega vikenda - ali bolje rečeno, uvedbe dvelovnika. Ker se ljudje brez strukturiranega prostega časa hitro znajdejo v težavah, predlagamo sistemski pristop k podaljšanemu vikendu: več hobijev, več druženja, več pogovorov, obvezna praksa v gostinstvu, turizmu in med ključnimi poklici. Debatiramo tudi, kako bo to vplivalo na državo – predlagamo veliko idejo, od načrtnega raziskovanja Slovenije preko pohodniških izzivov in potencialnega razporejanja delovnih terminov. Zaphod je še vedno na Asgardu, mi pa na poti v boljšo prihodnost.

Zdravo. Uvodna epizoda 6. sezone je dolga, ker jo je napisal drug avtor, Eoin Colfer. Eion se prebere Owen. Izgovorjava nam še ne uspeva, je pa boljša kot izgovorjava imena Zaphod. Zaphod dvoglavi se sliši bolje kot Zejfod dvoglavi, pa pika. Pred epizodo obdelamo mobilnost, baterije, sončni mrk, Habsburžane, neustavljivi napredek, damo politikom idejo, ki je večja od NEK 2 (učinkovit javni prevoz) in ugotovimo, da v Pidžijevo vas nikoli ne bo pripeljal vlak. PO dolgi pavzi se spomnimo na nedoganljivo Bobovo voljo in še marsikaj. Kar se knjige tiče, preberemo zahvale. Potem nas zmotijo Whitesnake in že debatiramo o potovanjih in stvareh, ki jih ne potrebujemo, ki potujejo do nas. Še na drva in kurilno olje ne pozabimo preden priznamo, da smo tokrat zares pravi kavč komentatorji. Naslednjič naprej.

We're having a chat about characters that differ from the source material and turn out crap because of it. Characters where the people adapting them didn't care, understand, or even take time to read the original stuff because they thought they knew better. There are a lot of instances where characters are adapted from source material and get totally messed up because the writers either don't understand or care about the source material they're taking from. Were not talking about being exactly true to a book, we're talking about understanding and respecting the characters so you can translate them to another medium and still have them recognisable and be themselves. There are many examples of poor character translation… apparently this is what happened with The Witcher in the 3rd season of the show. The story is that the led actor, Henry Cavil is a fan of the character from the books and games and took exception to the character's dilution and sidelining as the series progressed. We've been told that the writers for the show would openly laugh at the source material, something they're not really qualified to do since even the well regarded first series is extremely badly written and only gets the praise it does because of Cavel's portrayal of the lead character. An example that's very near and dear to me is the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie. This is a sort of a special case since the author had SOME involvement in it before he died but not enough apparently. the characters of Arthur Dent as played by Martin Freeman and Ford Prefect by Mos Def are terrible interpretations, so much so that they end up actively damaging the movie and harming the story. The essence of Arthur's character is a bemused, suburban British superiority: He has an expectation that as a British citisen his rights should be respected, his opinion should be listened to, people should understand his language, and things should conform to his suburban understanding of what is normal and good, all this is signaled by his wearing of Pajamas, a dressing gown and slippers the whole time. Whereas Martin Freeman's version simply doesn't understand what he's seeing and goes through the whole movie with an affronted frown on his stupid face. This is absolutely incorrect! Rather than not understanding anything Arthur is suppose to believe that he understands everything, but only in simple, suburban British terms,so that he can go through the story with a sense of befuddled superiority. Ford Prefect is supposed to be cool. He's easy going, and just meshes with whatever situation he's in, even if he doesn't understand it. He's very smart and quick to adapt. Mos Def's version is just a moron who looks good. All that said,Sam Rockwell's version of Zaphod was more perfect than perfect, and Zoe Dashenell was perfectly fine as Trillian, but that character was never ever written well to begin with in the original. What characters do you think with translated poorly in an adaption? Adam West's Batman? Hernry Cavil's Superman? Who?

Zdravo! V 41. epizodi četrte sezone o zvoku, slušalkah iz nizkocenovnih trgovin, Pelijevih novih očalih in Zijevem sivem bloku, ki zagotovo pomirja. Pozdravimo naše poslušalce na Discordu in poslušalko Vido, ki so ji všeč naše norčave debate, ki se dotikajo bolj življenja, vesolja in sploh vsega, kot poglavja, ki ga v dotični epizodi obdelujemo. Sicer pa se sprašujemo, če je morda Ford zamenjal Zaphoda, kaj je vzel s seboj na pot (Ford, ne Zaphod) in kaj ima z vsem skupaj umetna inteligenca in štiridnevni delovnik. Odgovor je prav nič in je enak odgovoru, kaj ima z vsem skupaj mišji penis. 

Po nekem čudnem naključju tudi obdelamo 38. poglavje 4. knjige.

The continuing reading of Hitchhicker's guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams - read by me, Simon Anthony, In which, Zaphod is oddly not killed by robots, a bit of the 'Heart of Gold', the gold part, is stolen. Why the Kikketers hate the rest of us and the legal judgments arising. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/simon-r-anthony/message

The continuing reading of Hitchhicker's guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams - read by me, Simon Anthony, Here a sales pitch is made for a model of the "Wikkit Gate" and an explanation of the original and why it is remembered. Zaphod returns to the story, as does Trillian and the 'Heart of Gold'. A lot of drinking is done, by Zaphod. Then - the ship is invaded... --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/simon-r-anthony/message

How Zaphod copes with being the most important being in the universe - and how it is true - sort of. A very delayed passenger space flight - leading to some answers from Zaniwhoop. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/simon-r-anthony/message

The HHGttG - being my continued reading, now as far as Ursa Minor Beta. In which a few more answers further complicate the question for Zaphod and his locked off brain bit. What are Frog Star fighters anyway? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/simon-r-anthony/message

Zdravo! V predigri se pogovarjamo o kuhanju šnopca, domačih šnopcih, napakah v vinu in cvičku, Peli pa se spomni kotaleče se zgodbe, ko se je na poti z Rožnika znašel na napačni strani hriba in pristal na Večni poti. Študiramo, če bi bilo za tovrsten podkast boljše ime Še pomnite, tovariši. V prejšni epizodi se spomnimo opoja in zmajev, predlagamo, da lahko Siddharta napiše nov štiklc na to temo in že smo v epizodi, kjer je z nami nek drug glasbenik (Mark Knopfler), nek drug album (Making Movies) in nek drug štiklc (Tunnel of Love). Strinjamo se, da je dober, vendar ga sami ne bi izbrali za podlago za tovrstne aktivnosti. Artur pa po preverjanju obeh kolen in gležnjev, skratka temeljitem pregledu Fenchurch, končno ugotovi kaj je narobe z njo in v znak podpore odkoraka skozi odprta vrata (zgornjega nadstropja stanovanja) ravno ko Mark Knopfler končuje svoj epohalno dolg solo v prej omenjeni pesmi.

These are the programmes as broadcast on Ambron Radio in November 2022. This is the Monday transmission of Douglas Adams' Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy as read by Simon Anthony. In which Ford and Arthur meet Zaphod and Trillion on the Heart of Gold. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/simon-r-anthony/message

Zdravo. V tokratni epizodi čestitamo vsem, ki ste včeraj tekli in se pogovarjamo o tem, kako bi mi delali podkast, če bi zmanjkalo elektrike. Vsak ponedeljek ob 6h zjutraj v živo v parku Zvezda. Spomnimo se tudi na geografijski zdrs iz prejšnje epizode in se še enkrat opravičujemo za vse nevšečnosti vsem prebivalkam in prebivalcem Babnega polja. Ugotovimo, da smo politično (ne)korektni in da bi potrebovali cenzorja in ugotavljamo, kje bi ga lahko dobili brezplačno. Aljo pove, da bi rad bil investicijski nesvetovalec, preden pa se vržemo v poglavje, pa se spomnimo na prejšnjega, kjer je spet blestel Rob McKenna. Tokrat pa si Artur žalost in obup zdravi z nakupovanjem najnovejšega Applea, prvega Maca (takrat so mu rekli še Macintosh), zada si nalogo da bo našel svoje domovanje v Islingonu iz časov, ko je pet let prebival na prazgodovinski zemlji. Če mu to uspe in če nam uspe ostati politično korektni in uravnoteženi, pa v tokratni epizodi.

I've lost count of how many episodes I have recorded. This one ends just before Chapter 12. Zaphod is Galactic President and is a thief.

Jeff and Bryan discuss The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, Douglas Adams' follow-up novel to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.This has been a Froods for Thought production.

Zdravo. Tokrat se pogovarjamo o tem, da so zadeve res resne, vmes nas pa pride obiskat naš prjatu Vini, ki ima novice iz zaklonišča ob koncu sveta. Več o tem na koncu epizode in opisa. V epizodi pa ugotovimo, da zadeve niso tako resnne, da bi Ford zaradi tega bil pripravljen tvegati glavo. Seveda Ford misli samo na zabave, ples in res divje štose. 
Mi se sprašujemo, če je tako razmišljanje pravilno, ko gre zares, se sprašujemo o idealih in fundamentalnih resnicah, vmes pa Zaphod sporoči, da bi šel on najraje na Zlato srce. Sprašujemo se tudi, če ima Ford res prav, ko pravi, da je težko zmagati, če se gre druga stran bolj zares. Po pečinaobešalniku se spomnimo na Marvina in po nekem čudnem naključju pristanemo v zaklonišču ob koncu sveta. V resnici upamo, da do tega, da bomo morali bežati v zaklonišča, nikoli ne pride.

Zdravo! Ta teden začnemo debato s Homo Emotikusom, ki ga nadgradimo v Homo Emotikus Omejenikus. Peli pove drugi del ptujske štorije, ki se je končala bolj klavrno, kot se je sam spomni. Zahtevamo vikend za vse, pa magari v Halozah. Trudimo se, da ne bi govorili o zgodbah iz služenja vojaškega roka in še enkrat povemo naše prepričanje, da vojne niso v redu. V samem poglavju se zgodita dva zgodovinska dogodka. Krikkiški roboti sestavijo ključ in ga vstavijo v ključavnico in tako odprejo ovojnico po-časa in zadnjič naredijo vap in izginejo. Mi se pogovarjamo tudi o risankah in ugotovimo, da je Trillian puška, ne spomnemo se pa da je Čehova puška. Mogoče je bolj Čehov kill-o-zap. Drug zgodovinski dogodek je ta, da Zaphod vstane od mrtvih, naši junaki pa so spet prepozni. "Ta obupni občutek nemoči, kaj." … je rekel Artur, vendar se nihče ni zmenil zanj. V zadnjih nekaj sekundah smo skrili zvočni test za mlajše od 18 let. Vsem, ki boste slišali in vas bo zvok zmotil, se že vnaprej opravičujemo za vse nevšečnosti. Zapiski so na opravicujemo.se ...

V 81. epizodi se poslovimo od rajcača in ugotovimo, da je Zaphod zelo depresiven. Trillian mu ne more pomagati, Aljo pa se spomni na reklo, ki pravi, da je bolje, da ti je v nedeljo zvečer malce nerodno, kot da ti je v petek zvečer dolgčas! Sklenemo, da bo v Innsbruck treba pred letom 2042, najbolje kar drugo leto in da smo si sami skopali jamo. Posvetimo se Zaphodovem načinu pitja in ugotovimo da izhaja iz mokre družine, ima dedijeve oči in kapitanovo sapo. Trillian pove tako kot je: "Preveč piješ." Sočustvujemo z njim, ker je izgubljen, ker je dokončal svoje poslanstvo, baje. Citat o tem, kako se naučiti letei prebere Miro Majcen, hvala!

Zaphod, having learned Heimdall's real name (and the ability to compel the god into doing what he wants), has now FINALLY managed to get into Asgard.Onboard the Tanngrísnir, Ford, Arthur, and Fenchurch are busy ignoring the "boom-chicka-wow-wow" going on between Trillian and Wowbagger.But will Zaphod be able to persuade Thor to kill Wowbagger?

Finally, we get to join our intrepid galactic hitchhiking heroes as they attempt to make sense of anything at all. We're about a third of the way into the sixth book "And Another Thing"...Zaphod has promised to kill Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged, a promise Wowbagger is VERY keen to see fulfilled. The only problem is that they're on their way, at Zaphod's suggestion, to Asgard. What Zaphod does not know, however, is that the beasts guarding Asgard have been given Zaphod's scent... Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz in the meantime has got a whiff of the fact that a small colony of homo sapiens escaped the multidimensional destruction of (all the) Earth(s) and is now on his way to obliterate them in order to complete his paperwork.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-bearded-wit.

Sometimes the universe can be a confusing place.  Don't try to understand it, you won't.  Sam and Henry are back for the EPIC conclusion of the “Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy” series with "Young Zaphod Plays It Safe” and “Mostly Harmless” by Douglas Adams.

Zdravo. Tokrat naša junaka (in Zarniwoop) končno prideta do vladarja Vesolja. Gospod je z njim in vanj verjame, to je pa že skoraj vse. Kot pravi: moje vesolje so moje oči in ušesa. Mi pa se sprašujemo kako on rešuje križanke. In imamo nov avizo (oz. novo ime zanj - avizo), obiščemo Porto Cervo in se ne pogovarjamo o Bilderbergih. Zato pa o znanosti in iskanju resnice, o tem zakaj smo iznašli božanstva. Poročamo, da Trillian in Zaphod ugotovita, da je vesolje res v dobrih rokah. In o tem, da je življenje en cel kaos. Za nameček ugotovimo da je preteklost utvara. Citata tokrat ni, ker govorimo o tem kako nadstandardne so Murgle kot soseska. Zapiski so na opravicujemo.se ... Hvala ker nas poslušate, podpirate in sledite. Povsod smo @opravicujemose ...

Zdravo. Tokrat govorimo naših predhodnikih in o tem, kdo je ubil neandertalca - zavarovalniški zastopnik ali so neandrtalci naredili skupinski samomor zaradi Golgafrinčamcev. Zaphod še vedno ne mara Zarniwoopa, a še vedno ne ve zakaj. Poišče steklenico džanksa, ampak ugotovimo da, kadar ti gre nekdo na živce, alkohol ne pomaga. Spomnimo se M.S., ki je nekoč pisal Nočno kroniko na Delu, debatiramo o novinarstvu in poklicih in ugotovimo, da smo nekako vsi solidarni, da bomo sodelovali v tej dirki do dna. Je mogoče Zaphod tudi samo navaden človek, ki ni pripravljen na soočenje z resnico? Kot pravi zenovska modrost: "Učitelj pride, ko je učenec pripravljen." Citat prebere poslušalka Katja, hvala

Zdravo. Za začetek se pogovarjamo o tem da smo bolj Homo Emoticus v okviru politične analize sveta, življenja in sploh vsega. Tudi o stanju, oziroma višjem stanju zavesti. 22. junija je 42. dan po Douglasovi smrti in konec retrogradnega Merkurja. Sprašujemo se kam je izginil Zarquon. Vročečrni Desiato se priklopi na sistem za vzdrževanje mrliških funkcij, naši junaki pa so v v galaktični pogrebni kočiji, ker se nihče ni prav zelo veliko pogovarjal z Marvinom. Citat prebere Lauren iz New Yorka, hvala! Tudi o tem, da imajo vse barve neko sporočilnost in da je Zaphod težaški do Arturja. Marvin pove še eno resnico o življenju. Zapiski so na opravicujemo.se ... Hvala ker nas poslušate, podpirate in sledite. Povsod smo @opravicujemose ...

Zdravo! Naj vas naslov nikar ne odvrne, ker se o nagrobnikih in črkah na njih in o tem, če se jih da kupiti na internetih, pogovarjamo po tem, ko obdelamo najbolj perečo temo, kako se izgovarja Zaphod: Zaphod ali po angleško Zejfod. Fascinira nas naprava, ki jo poimenujemo strezn-o-matik oziroma, tudi z mačk-o-matikom bi se zadovoljili! V 18. poglavju 2. knjige pa je tudi ceuga fuka enih vecejev, Ford in Zaphod se izkaže, sta strašna ljubitelja letečih krip, Aljo pa pritrdi Marvinu, da te predvesm zamorijo ti ljudje. Citat prebere druga polovica podkasta Temna stran Lune, Maruša Žerjal, hvala! Zi predstavi idejo sončnih jader za medzvezdna potovanja, Aljo ugotovi da je že desetletja mecen znanosti, Peli pa išče najceneje črke za na grob na internetu. Zaphod prepričuje Marvina, da se pred njim odpira celo novo življenje, Vročečrni Desiato in stražar pa se z dvorane odpravita pred koncem Vesolja in preden svoj veliki prihod izvede Zarquon. Sprašujemo vas tudi, če bi imeli brisače Opravičujemo se za vse nevšečnosti, take taprave, za na morje. Zapiski so na opravicujemo.se ... Hvala ker nas poslušate, podpirate in sledite. Povsod smo @opravicujemose ...

The gang are apparently safe and secure having found themselves first being "saved" by Zaphod - and then being REALLY saved by Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged. But is this all really helping?

Zdravo. V 12. epizodi 2. sezone o tem, da je treba kupovat knjige in se vozit z bicikli na Robidišču. Če imate problem, je prvi korak to, da priznate da ga imate. Miselni higieniki se vračajo. Ladja, ki jo Zaphod najde pa zamuja. Razlog je znan in čisto razumljiv: zmanjkalo je vlažilnih robčkov z limonino aromo. So pa na ladji kava in piškoti, vsako leto, a vseeno. Pa kaj, če ladja zamuja 900 let. Govorimo tudi o fajmoštrih, kuharcah in dečkih, kardinalu in Meggie. In o genetskem materialu. Citat prebere Naša! Hvala!

Zdravo. V S02E11 o knjigi 7000 dni v Sibiriji, domeni hvalazavseribekijihni.si, o ekstrapolaciji vesolja, Aljo pove dva vica, enega o diplomi in enega o Bitcoinu, pogovarjamo se o izumitelju Vrtinca in o pomanjkanju občutka za mero. Citat prebere Maja Pavlica, hvala!

Zdravo. V S02E10 o tem, da so v našem podkastu možne so divje netočnosti. In da je vesolje strašljivo veliko. Govorimo o tistem orehu na Oglarunu, najmanjših stanovanjih na Zemlji, ki so v Hong Kongu. Ugotovimo da je digitalni vrtinec blizu in da bi Zaphod raje na kakšni zabavi v eni od 2 trilijona galaksij, ne pa z Gargravarrjem na Žabsvetu B. Le ta se izpove velikemu Z-ju, ki pove, da ima telo svojo pamet. Tudi o ribolovu in seksu, kar nas pripelje do dejstva, da ribe ne obstajajo. Vsaj po znanstvenih klasifikacijah ne. Tudi o gospodarski rasti in tem, da si, ko prideš na delikateso, zmeden kot dojenček v striptiz baru!

V osmi epizodi druge sezone ugotovimo da je korona fajn, da Aljo čipa še nima v glavi, od glave pa preidemo k Butnskali, do alarma. Vrnemo se k dvigalom (ne zadnjič) in ugotovimo, da gre Zaphod v Dravlje. Ker že dolgo nismo govorili o bogu, tokrat o iskanju le njega, Aljo pa pove, da ko gre naslednjič na morje, bo poizkusil tisto Budweiser brisačo. Govorimo tudi o žabarjih, in o predsedniku z žrebanjem in poslancih ljudstva. In o poklicih med mladimi. Tudi o osmem poglavju druge knjige. Citat prebere Neža Prah Seničar. Hvala!

Zdravo. Tokrat obdelamo 7. poglavje 2. knjige. V štartu so na tapeti Shure, Gustinčič, palestinski konflikt in sirska vojna, 10.000 beguncev in vardisti. Samo v prvih treh minutah. Aljo pravi, da si čipov vgrajevat v glavo ne bo pustil. Razpravljamo o Patrii v roza barvi. Marvin se sreča z žabonskim tankom D klase, Peli pa pove kako je bilo, ko se je srečal s tankom T-84. O pepelniku v pisarni in v kajenju v pisarnah, o kadilcih in o tem, da je zloraba vsake snovi problematična. Tudi o tem, da je razlika med zdravilom in strupom v količini. Citat, kjer slišimo kaj je Zaphod pustil Marvinu, prebere Ana Maria Mitić! Hvala.

Zdravo! Preden poslušate neuradno 42. epizodo, ki je izšla 8. marca, želimo vsem ženskam enakopravnost takoj zdaj. V epizodi pa o programerjih v Sirijski korporaciji, prijaznem štoparskem vesolju, o tem, kje dobit dober čaj, o traktorjih in SUV-jih in o beti Malega voza. Ugotovimo da Svetlo mesto ni sveto, preskočimo politiko, vero in Elona in gremo na Mikonos, kjer se radi kažejo bogati Zemljani. Citat prebere Ula Furlan, hvala!

"In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."Above is a typical funny passage that one can find in 'The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe' by Douglas Adams. This is the 2nd book of the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy trilogy and follows the adventure of Arthur, Ford, Zaphod and Trillian as they continue their random, absurd, highly illogical journey. They travel through time and space to get a good meal and enjoy the end of the universe.I summarised the book as follows. "The plot (if you can even call it that) is so zany and has so little structure that each chapter could almost be read as a stand-alone short story. What comes out in the writing of Adams is the classic British deadpan humour and his unique gift with wordplay. A fun, forget the troubles of the world type of book. Hope you enjoy it as I did!"I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world.

Some examples provided by my new nonprofit, The Free Association about how DAS KAPITALISM IS DEAD as a Doornail, man! ... & hell, why not!! I'm starting to see a bright future post-Kapitalism. KKKapitalism was killing us all, anyway. So DOWN W/KKKAPITALISM; & Let Kapitalism be Dead! Let Kapitalism die not a slow, prolonged death like our grandparents did; before they died enmasse. In nursing homes from covid19! Because Nazi ass-clown & his minions don't give a rats arse about our old people! They want ‘em to ‘sacrifice themselves for the economy'??! Somebody tell these arse holes to stick it up their man!! CALL CONGRESS 202 224 3121 & tell ‘em: GFY!!! Let Kapitalism die a quick, painless death- cuz it sure has strangled us all out, hasn't it?!?!? Like Republican Governor Doug Ducey sending all of us democrats to the polls —sites of mass infections- instead of delaying the primaries! Kapitalism can GFI! If Nietzsche were alive, that's what he'd say & report. In this podcast, I cite many examples from nature & current events to show ways COMPETITION CAN KILL. To be sure, KAPITALISM IS KILLING US SOFTLY— from withheld PPE for our nation's first responders; Benny White's dirty GOP tricks to block my ballot access & this attacking civil liberties; to Sheriff Napier suppressing my podcast series; these criminals in power all want to SHUT US UP, silence our voices, kill us with their incompetence & criminal neglect of their duties. It's not even just a partisan thing; #DNCisCorrupt, too. When we had a media, it reported student vote purges in Ohio; The #IowaFiasco was #electionfraud, plain as the nose on yer face! And it produced a FRAUDULENT ‘Winner' that night & in #NewHampshire, too. If somebody -ANYBODY — called the DNC on their sh*t from the start, maybe it would've stopped, & we'd actually have FEEE AND DAIRE AND SfeRlections. But noooo, #Mayorcheat. Then there's HEALTH ‘insurance' companies competing with each other to get us to throw money at them every month so they can bankrupt & kill patients; Other points of interest in this podcast: I announce a few of cabinet appointments for when I'm PRESIDENT :). But for now at least, ‘SOMETHING IS ROTTEN IN THE STATE OF UNITED'; I cite examples from nature and me pets: My pet peacock Zaphod nearly pecked to death my silver pheasant, Mr Fezzie cuz Fez was fryin to bang his gf. They are MALES, and Males kill each other over competition. Fezzie stuffed himself in between two fences tryin to escape, would've died of fright alone if I hadn't intervened. Zaphod trying to eliminate competition for his Lady, Eccentricca2; Let's use a Native American context: indigenous peoples were destroyed when Andrew Jackson wanted to implement the White Man's Manifest Destiny. So Down With Kapitalism! It sucked ass, anyway --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Welcome back to the manor, as we sit once more along the side the pools, just outside the Megadodo Publications offices on Ursa Minor, nursing hangovers from too many Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters that were made by a fun-loving two headed man.  We didn't ask if he had two of anything else.     In the last part of our ever expanding trilogy, we geek out in general.  What did you expect? Sass you later, you hoopy froods! Image:  James at a speakeasy (legal, sadly) enjoying a gin and tonic with that most excellent book, the HHGTTG.

Back in the interview chair, Gray takes you to the Arizona scene for an interview with _Zaphod_, owner and creator of Phoenix42 Creations ( https://www.instagram.com/phoenix42creations/ ). They talk about “being a rope guy”, Taoist philosophy, creating consent with partners, how to create a more inclusive community, and more.

We are back for Season 2 covering the classic Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. We are happy to be back and are thrilled to discuss the basics of hitchhiking across the galaxy, which medium we prefer the story to be in, and why extra creepy parts were added to the movie.   Episode Drink: Pan Galatic Garbel Blaster   1TBL Gin 1TBL light rum 1 TBL vodka 1TBL tequila 2 TBL creme de menth liqueur 2TBL Galliano 1 cup ice cubes 1 slice of lemon   Side note: We recognize that the typical way drink recipes are written are in ounces so we looked it up and one ounce is equal to two tablespoons. For those of your measuring along at home, the one tablespoon alcohols all get half an ounce in this recipe and the two tablespooners get a full ounce.   Combine the gin, rum, vodka, tequila, creme de menthe, Galliano and ice in the container of a blender. Cover, and blend until slushy. Pour into a glass and garnish with a slice of lemon.   Recipe: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/76897/pangalactic-gargleblaster/   Our Drinking Game for this Story: Take a drink when: The Hitchhiker's Guide is quoted The improbability drive is used Every time you see a towel Arthur is confused Ford or Zaphod doesn't understand something that was just said to them     (So basically anytime any of the men are holding the story back?)   And knock back your drink when you just understand Marvin. Like, you get him. This makes sense to you.   Please drink responsibly! Hail hydrate.   What's Making Us Happy This Week; Or Podcasts that we are feeling.

Join Mark, Jon and Danny as they clear the T section of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Tri-D Tri-D is Adams' allusion to some sort of 3D TV, and is distinct from Five-D, the sub-etha, the Sense-o-Tape, the Hall of Informational Illusions and whatever other technology he created to show things to characters. Triganic Pu The Triganic Pu is a form of galactic currency. Its exchange rate of eight Ningis to one Pu is simple enough, but since a Ningi is a triangular rubber coin six thousand eight hundred miles across each side, no one has ever collected enough to own one Pu. Ningis are not negotiable currency because the Galactibanks refuse to deal in fiddling small change. Trillian Trillian is a beautiful astrophysicist, with the real name Tricia McMillan. She's played by Susan Sheridan in the radio series, and by Zooey Deschanel in the film. She manages to convince the masters of Krikkit not to destroy the universe, and she learned how to maneuver around Hyde Park Corner on a moped. On an Earth that was never destroyed by the Vogons, Tricia McMillan attempts to get a job with the NBS network in New York, as an anchor on the US/AM breakfast show. She regrets going back for her bag when first meeting Zaphod at that famous party in Islington.

Join Mark, Jon and Danny as they clear the T section of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Tri-D Tri-D is Adams' allusion to some sort of 3D TV, and is distinct from Five-D, the sub-etha, the Sense-o-Tape, the Hall of Informational Illusions and whatever other technology he created to show things to characters. Triganic Pu The Triganic Pu is a form of galactic currency. Its exchange rate of eight Ningis to one Pu is simple enough, but since a Ningi is a triangular rubber coin six thousand eight hundred miles across each side, no one has ever collected enough to own one Pu. Ningis are not negotiable currency because the Galactibanks refuse to deal in fiddling small change. Trillian Trillian is a beautiful astrophysicist, with the real name Tricia McMillan. She's played by Susan Sheridan in the radio series, and by Zooey Deschanel in the film. She manages to convince the masters of Krikkit not to destroy the universe, and she learned how to maneuver around Hyde Park Corner on a moped. On an Earth that was never destroyed by the Vogons, Tricia McMillan attempts to get a job with the NBS network in New York, as an anchor on the US/AM breakfast show. She regrets going back for her bag when first meeting Zaphod at that famous party in Islington.

Join Mark, Jon and Danny as they traverse the R section of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Reverse temporal engineering Reverse temporal engineering is a new technology of “unfiltered perception”, which is a marvellous way of making anything you want to have happen, happen, without all that tedious mucking about with probability drives or Italian waiters. Danny, is there a name for the kind of thing you add to a sci-fi or fantasy universe that can just solve any problem? Is it a deus ex machina or is that something else? [I know it's something else, but I'm assuming you know what I mean! I also wanted to not give this one to Jon for a change] Richard Vernon Richard Vernon played Slarti in the radio and TV series. He was born on the same day I was, and if he were still alive, he'd be celebrating his 94th birthday. But he died 21 years ago. River Moth The river Moth is, well, a river. It is, as previously described, slow and heavy, and if you make a raft to sail down it, you can use a towel as a, well, sail. And that's about all we know of the River Moth. Satire The panel discusses the Hitchhiker's Guide 's place in the pantheon of sature. Rob McKenna Rob McKenna is a rain god, with 231 different categorisations of rain documented in his little book. All he knew was that his working days were miserable and he had a succession of lousy holidays. All the clouds knew was that they loved him and wanted to be near him, to cherish him, and to water him. He's played by Bill Paterson in the radio series, and he's a rather dreary chap. Room of Informational Illusions The Room of Informational Illusions is a deck on the Starship Bistromath that basically equates to another version of VR, like the Sense-o-Tapes from the original book. Roosta Roosta rescued Zaphod from Ursa Minor Beta during the bombing of Megadodo Publications. He's played by Alan Ford in the radio series, which probably makes him the galaxy's resident wideboy. He has a towel which contains a number of flavourings, chemicals and other substances that you can ingest by sucking a particular end.

Probability The guide says that if you hold a lungful of air you can survive in the total vacuum of space for about thirty seconds, but the chances of getting picked up by another ship within that timeframe are two to the power of two-hundred-and-sixty-seven-thousand seven-hundred=and-nine to one against. Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz is the commander of the Vogon Constructor Fleet, who uses the new Guide - equipped with reverse temporal engineering - to find a way of destroying all the Earths in existence along the probability axis. He is a fairly typical Vogon, in that he is thoroughly vile. Qualactin Hypermint Float a measure of Qualactin hypermint extract when mixing a pangalactic gargleblaster, over the back of a silver spoon. It's redolent of all the heady odours of the dark Qualactin Zones: subtle, sweet and mystic. R R is a velocity measure, defined as a reasonable speed of travel that is consistent with health, mental wellbeing and not being more than, say, five minutes late. It is therefore clearly an almost infinitely variable figure according to circumstances, since the first two factors vary not only with speed taken as an absolute, but also with awareness of the third factor. Radiation Swamps of Cwulzenda The Radiation Swamps of Cwulzenda were a site of battles between the Silastic Armorfiends of Striterax and the Strenuous Garfighters of Stug, both of which I think we'll be covering later.

If you could meet five people you admire from the past, people who are dead, who would they be? Pitney was tasked with this exercise and it stumped him. We thought of all sorts of dead folks we would want to meet and what we would talk to them about. But mostly we talked about what dead people we'd like to have as guests on our show! For example, did you know your grandfathers? Pitney and Amelia didn't know theirs. One was a really interesting dude who has some 'splainin to do about minstrel shows! What was much easier was to come up with fictional characters we would want to hang out with. After all, who wouldn't want to hitchhike the galaxy with Ford Prefect? And finally, human nature. Are we good or are we bad? The answer might surprise and depress you. Promos: Chewed Gum Podcast  and the 2 Skeptical Chaps! (Want to swap show promos? Email us!) We love you for listening!

Join Mark and the Jons as they traverse the P section of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy , and take a sneaky pitstop at O. Oolon Colluphid Oolon Colluphid is the author of heretical works of non-fiction. We've covered many of his books already, but titles include Where God Went Wrong , Some More of God's Greatest Mistakes and Who is this God Person Anyway? Orion Beta Orion Beta is noted for its madronite mining belts, where Ford learned to play a drinking game involving telekenesis and obsene forfeits. Pangalactic garbleblaster The Pangalactic Garbleblaster is the best drink in existence, according to the Guide. Parallel Universes Now, the Guide has had a great deal to say on the subject of parallel universes. Very little of this is, however, at all comprehensible to anyone below the level of Advanced God. The first thing to realise about parallel universes, the Guide says, is that they are not parallel, because being parallel doesn't mean anything. It's all part of the Whole Sort of General Mishmash, but I thought it worth bringing up since it's sort of noteable by its absencen. Paralys-o-Matic The Paralyse-o-Matic is a bomb of some sort. Zaphod throws one into the crowd that comes to watch the uneiling of the Heart of Gold. Parties In the third book, Arthur gets hit in the small of the back by a party that's into its fourth generation, and has taken to conducting raiding parties of nearby planets, depleating them of stocks of cheesey snacks and booze.

Mark Steadman, Jon Hickman and Danny Smith continue their mission to discuss everything in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy canon , in alphabetical order. Fortillian Bantoburn O'Perfluous The BarBot of the Starship Titanic, played by Dermot Crowley (from Luther, among other things). In the game, he mixes your character a bizarre cocktail that ends up helping to fix the ship. Here, Danny runs the team through some working class cocktails. Frastra Where they say “life begins at 40,000 degrees”. This planet has fire storms, and an equable temperature is between 40,000 and 40,004 degrees. Mark asks the question of the kind of lifeforms one might expect to find on Frastra, bearing in mind that the tardigrade can only hack it up to 148.9℃. Frogstar Frogstar World B is quite staggeringly nasty, and is where Zaphod is dragged to before being put in the Total Perspective Vortex (to which we'll come in a later episode). This planet gives us a bit of a continuity headache, as our characters happen upon it in very different ways, depending on whether you've read the book or listened to the second radio series. Frood A frood is a really amazingly together guy. And that's about all the time there is for this segment. Fuolornis Fire Dragon The team discusses the sexiness - or complete lack thereof - of flying bescaled fire-breathing lizards. And Dire Straits. Gag Halfrunt Gag Halfrunt is Zaphod and Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz's private brain-care specialist, and the man who employed Jeltz to destroy the Earth. He's played by Stephen Moore in the radio series and is the man who utters the immortal words “ah, Zaphod's just this guy, y'know?” which is one of very few Hitchhiker's catchphrases. Danny helps Mark understand how wrong he is to like this character, given that he is quite a bit evil.

Everyone loves a good war story! they all seem to begin with "So No Shit There I Was.." well we aim to please. A "still doing cool shit" old combat brother of Jeff's joins him to reflect and tell some rare nuggets of awesome combat tales. Jeff has a agenda but lets face it we only care about the cool stories!    IN THIS PARTICULAR EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:     Zaphod Beetlebrock is not really the guest's identity and for legit reasons, he stays anonymous to all but those familiar with him.   Jeff was the holder of the title "RPG Magnet" and folks this is just a little of the reason he has been so far un challenged with a total of 18 near strikes and over 20 misses from the bad training of the enemy gunners.   Jeff is not the Bullet magnet however that is apparently some Green Beret named Bobby.   B movies are not the source of advisable tactics unless your a third world lunatic with a good heart.   Tony Soprano has an Afghan counterpart.   Jeff is reluctant to speak of his glorious awards but Eddie and Bennet have rights to force him to talk about it eventually. Plus he promised them...   Your phone is the best weapon against suicide... use it and if called pick it up!   Jeff played High School football (played is a loose term) on a team with an awesome guy from a great family. the guy has a Superbowl Winner for a younger Brother and Jeff endorses his new book.    LINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Find links to this episode's content here:   Order Superbowl champion and friend of Jeff's Kieth O'Neil's  Book: Under My Helmet   Battle of Debeka Pass link (only because Zaphod let is slip, unpurpose/accident) Jeff's claim to Special Forces fame (only to himself and his kids!)   Books about Jeffs uneasy fame prior to the show: Heroes Among Us Roughneck Nine-one War Stories of The Green Berets (Updated Edition) Follow Zaphod:   You Must Be Kidding!

Mark Steadman, Danny Smith and Jon Bounds continue their mission to discuss everything in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy canon , in alphabetical order. This week, it's everything Arcturan. Arcturan megadonkey A four-legged beast off which Deep Thought could talk all legs. Of. In that vein, we discuss the things we've persuaded people to do. Arcturan megafreighter A mode of transport which Zaphod hitches aboard. Here, Jon and Danny share their worst travel stories. Arcturan megagin Three cubes of which are added to panhgalactic gargleblaster. Here's what it might look like, and here's an Instructables piece on the ingredient. Arcturan megagrasshopper Used as a comparative phrase, as in “ankle-high to a…”, so we discuss some of the Dad-based anachronisms from our past. Arcturan megaleach Another large animal that should be small, but since it's spelt “leach” not “leech”, we falsely accuse Danny of emptying our wallets on nights out.

Mark Steadman, ape descendent, is on a mission to discover and discuss everything from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy , in entirety, and in alphabetical order. With the help of his friends Jon Hickman, Jon Bounds and Danny Smith, he'll examine everything from Arthur to Zaphod, and all points in-between. This is not a definitive guide to the Guide , but rather an exploration of a pop culture universe that's brought joy to old nerds and young geeklings alike.

This week, Andrew, Anya, Lee, and Josh chat about the flood bringing weather that has hit Ottawa, Lego road-trips, the Star Wars / Maudie connection, movie ad's, new wave cinema, Imax lies, Christopher Nolan / James Bond hopes, John Waters graveyard requests, super fans, Zaphod's memories, and Twin Peaks. We also mention the movies screening this week: Maudie, Their Finest, The Dinner, Jeremiah Tower: The Last Magnificent, and Free Fire! Plus, we can't stop reminiscing nostalgically / besmirching the legacy of VHS

This week the Worst Adults set out to find their classy side... but Adam didn't understand the Masterpiece Theater setup and instead they kick-start a plan to save humanity by grafting two (or three) heads onto one body and rigorously dividing their waking hours... You're welcome humanity! Talking Points coming soon! As always, we'd like to thank Laura Hammond of the webcomic XP for our show's art, Bensound.com for our outro music, this week's contributors for graciously taking a backseat to one out of control goof, and you the listener for sticking with us!

Donald Trump is compared to a lot of real life people, but it maybe that fictional Zaphod Beeblebrox from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is the most accurate comparison. Zapped is famous for being famous, massively popular, freewheeling, inexperienced and egomaniacal, sound like anyone? To my GOP friends, remember, I have always, except this year, voted Republican. This is humor, but feel free to call me a liberal, RINO, or just an idiot. Quick Rants RSS

This episode starts with a discussion about dark humor and when it is OK to laugh at tragedy and moves into what is the difference between laughing with and laughing at, internet trolls, how extremes become caricature, how some vegans have a rational principled position and others are hypocrites, when is it OK to laugh about 9/11 or even Pearl Harbor, why Harambe isn't funny, how society is more disconnected than ever despite having more connections than ever, diversity vs. groupthink, how to train your newsreader to avoid groupthink, the pleasure of moving your position or changing your mind when presented with new information and perspectives, a discussion on the electoral college, and then Zaphod goes all 80's on us.

A special discussion and tribute for the 15th anniversary of 9/11.  Wonko shares his experiences and feelings about 9/11 and America with Ford and Zaphod, in hopes they understand the impact these events had on our country to this day.We strongly encourage to you look through the links below.  Some things you may remember, some you may not, but all bring a depth to what 9/11 is to us in the USA.9/11 MemorialFlight 939/11 Inside the PentagonVictims who plummeted from Twin TowersFr.

How about some Grade "A" Garage Hour goodness?  With the bad weather, bad drivers, bad habits and bad injectors, this one's got it all.  Or, possibly some sort of infection, but hey, what's a contagious disease between cohosts?  Just drink some white Bronco and take some good beer, some good music (The Faint or Beck?), some good cartoons (South Park versus The Simpsons), a good party (Carnivalé at Lost Abbey) and some ill-gotten gains from misappropriating small arms in the Iraqi combat theater, and it's good gearhead radio. Oh, and as if that's not enough to blow up your M92, there's always the age-old argument of Beretta versus Glock, Ballahs with Dollahs at Barona Drags, Second Amendment Clothing, good soundtracks for bad movies, train wrecks, our ad girl's sexy Kiwi gag reel, Toyota on a bad day and Zaphod Bebblebrox. If you'd prefer to enjoy this fine piece of show in the high-brow plastic-fantastic wonderment of M4A bliss, just search the same episode date without an "MP3" tag.  You're welcome.

Thanks for being part of the Conspiracy! In this program, we explore the bizarre phenomenon of politicians who want to use force and theft, but who feel compelled to appear at churches and other locations important to the religious in their quest for office. We then compare that strange M.O. to the recent trouble the Catholic Church has had with being forced by the gubment to offer so-called "contraceptive coverage" to their employees through their insurance programs. It's a fascinating and controversial show. Check it out! And in it, we include music by Jack Black (via some fine remixers) looking for an OCTOGON, by the Psychedelic Furs, from their first album,, by Shriekback, from "Glory Bumps", by Iggy and the Stooges, and some fine remixing of Scatman John, leading into a little something special, for all you who would prefer to vote for Zaphod Beeblebrox! Be Seeing You!
