So here`s the deal.  We live, work and produce this podcast of joy out of Vancouver, BC.  We have this local newspaper here called the Georgia Straight and every year they do this people`s choice Best of Vancouver issue where the readers all vote on their favorite local stuff.  One category each year is Best Local Podcast.  We fully expect Stop Podcasting Yourself to win it, because they really are the best show in town.  All we want is a runner-up.  A mention.  We just want to see the name of our show printed in the paper.
We haven`t really ever asked you for much.  We`ve never asked for money.  All we want is this.  Mind you, you need to vote in 25 categories for your votes to qualify, and we realize that if you don`t live in Vancouver, this might be tricky.  But if you think you know enough, and you want to make us sooooo happy, please click here and vote for us as the Best Local Podcast of Vancouver.  You get entered to win some sort of shwag and, like I said, you`ll make us so happy!

Cheers.

p.s. our song of summer mixtape of joy is almost complete.  this is your last week to send in songs for it! yay!

This week on the show, we're both sick so we have our first virtual show, hosting from 2.4 kilometres apart. Things get a bit rickety along the way, but we think it's listenable for the most part. We're a snail and a king crab, so obviously we enjoy ourselves quite a bit.

Ian adds another sunny song to the summer mix this week, and we talk about vuvuzelas, because that's what everyone is talking about! Ryan provides us with many internet

phenomenons in this show, and the appropriate images are all posted below.

THE IMAGES FROM EPISODE 61! TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES!!

Lastly, here is a psychadelic link that Ryan brought up during the show. And here is the link used in Ryan's latest tutorial, "Fucking up your facebook".

Thanks buddies!

We're on a safari! We get huge applause from our fans in Africa when we emerge from behind a fancy curtain and it's a non-stop thrill ride from there on out. We talk about a few serious things like the BP oil debacle and the jerks who made the Hurt Locker. We also bring you a new jerk of the week and a good ol' image of the week, for good measure.Your pal and ours, Louie E, really delivered this week with three great songs for our summer mix. If you still wanna get a song on there, you have two weeks to do so! Hop to it!

This week we're the Montauk monster and Sam, the world's ugliest dog. We chat about a lady who trusts her Google maps far too much, Canada's version of the DMCA, and discount superstore Winners! Two new additions to the TGBA summer mixtape this week with Said The Whale and Club 8. Summer! Ryan also tells us a touching story about how he learned what is really important to him and the truth will shock you! Such suspense!

Also, here are the youtube videos that we received via Cathy and
