What was the name of the political podcast Will mentioned? I made a mental note to check it out but can't remember the name or when in the podcast they talked about it

Decode DC.

 

[Gaogaogao]

If its a two-man show? No.

no more whoppers is a better 2 man show than most podcasts, period.

Whitta without you

Stupendous.

 

[razgriz417]

Your own iPhone by your side
What was wrong with Eli's eyes?.
I wait for you.
Sleight of hand, posting fake Tweets
Them Nazi Coffee tales were sure great
And I wait without you

Whitta without you
Whitta without you.

With Shyamalan, still writing more
Wes was great, but I want more
And I'm waiting for you

Whitta without you
Whitta without you.
I can't live Whitta without you.

Please don't give the twist away
Please don't give the twist away
Please don't give, please don't give
Please don't give the twist away

Baby talk time, makes Norm confused
You got the guy that plays to win
with nothing left to lose

Oh just give the twist away
Oh just give the twist away
Please just give, please just give
Please just give the twist away

Whitta without you
Whitta without you
I can't live
Whitta without you.

Whitta without you
Whitta without you
I can't live
Whitta without you
Whitta without you.

Holy crap this is amazing

Wes likes Conquests of the Longbow? I thought I was the only one!

Will has strongly hinted it will be a Will, Norm, Jamie Hyneman podcast on Thursday...

Responding to why the latest Jamie vid was recorded at Tested HQ and not M5

I can deal with that!!!

incorrect, but good guess.

We’re recording This Is Only a Test today, but there isn’t that much to talk about, so we’re doing a Q&A show. Qs to podcast@tested.com ASAP

[chickdigger802]

oh shit. They still do written questions sometimes right? Don't have a mic near me.

Written and audio questions accepted, usual rules apply

I miss the days when they trusted their audience and let us edit a google doc.

 

[shadyspace]

Not thrilled that my face pops up to anonymize a perv in @br’s part of the #1ReasonToBe talk from GDC. Pretty sure this is GAF’s fault.

-Will

Hahaha

We did that last week!

 

[eznark]

I listened while participating in a 215 mile relay race through the Smokey Mountains. I literally could not remember a single thing that you guys talked about but it got me through a hill that rose 1200 feet in 1.3 miles at 4 am, so thanks!

Also, I'll pay closer attention.

 

[Technosteve]

oh man i miss editing the google doc, and then not having my story done on the show =(

I bet you burned a lot of gas driving all that way uphill.

So they are on a trip to Houston today... I hope this will be NASA related.

NASA planning to send intelligent cookies into space? I don't know about that. Sounds like a plan that's bound to crumble.

Jamie Hyneman Tests the Oculus Rift Virtual Reality Goggles
We invite Jamie to try out the Oculus Rift headset at the Tested office, and then have a conversation with him about how he would use these virtual reality goggles in his quest to build a telepresence driving robot.

From the podcast - I'm almost positive Mythbusters already tested how hard is it to kick in a door.

I think so, I remember Adam slipping on a mat

I pretty much imagined will having that same accident that whole conversation

 

[Zaph]

Ha, was watching the #1reasontobe GDC talk, and look who's face appears 'shopped in?

The cum face shall live on forever.

 

[Curufinwe]

Why didn't they just leave the actual guy's face on there?

 

[FStop7]

I KNOW WHAT IT IS.

Google "After Earth" for the answer!

 

[chogidogs]

We did it!

surprised will is a cash guy for cars. With how low interest rates are these days from credit unions or what not, wouldn't it make more sense financing and using your money on non depreciating stuff?

But I gotta admit it was kinda cool when my dad brought a suit case of 40 grand in cash to a lexus dealer for his car.

He didn't take a check? Must of been a pretty empty suitcase ;p (if it was all 100s anyways).

But yeah I agree with him on that.

Pro tip: always buy cars with cash, because you can't deduct interest on auto financing. If needed, refinance home mortgage to buy car with cash and deduct from that interest.

I think the point is that with rates being so low (for many people) it doesn't take a significantly risky investment to get a better ROI with that cash. When money is cheap the default "never leverage" advice doesn't make a lot of sense. Even when taking into account tax savings it's a pretty safe bet that you can beat your car payment interest over the next five years.

That said, I pay cash because I'm not buying $150,000 cars so the marginal difference isn't enough for the annoyance or tiny risk.

1% Norm strikes again!

 

[Curufinwe]

The interest rate on our latest car wasn't that low and I didn't have $15,000 in cash last August, so I just paid off the loan as soon as possible.

 

[Aruarian Reflection]

So Norm, now that you've had your Incase camera bag for a few weeks, do you still recommend it? I'm searching for a similar bag and need to house mainly a 5D II, 3-4 lenses. Having an easy way to attach a tripod would be cool also.

Absolutely love it for both day to day and travel. Two lenses but no tripod (there are straps on the side for that). I brought it loaded up for our trip to Houston!

 

[panda21]

Didn't get a chance to listen for a few weeks so catching up, I forgot how good this podcast is!

As much as I love the podcast with Gary, the new guests fit in nicely.

 

[lingiii]

What the heck is Adam talking about on their podcast with him the last few weeks. "nulling"?

Oh thank Christ for you. Everything is made clear.

Does Wes check gaf? Someone tell him on twitter to watch "Floored". I think it's on Netflix, it's exactly the movie he was describing about the guys in the pits. One of you guys who uses the tweeters or something.

 

[eznark]

I told him to watch The Pit but I may have meant Floored. Both are good.

 

[Azar]

I just looked up The Pit and Floored. Both sound interesting, though Floored is definitely closer to what we were talking about. Gonna check it out!

I had no idea there was a term for my OCD tendencies.
