A very special episode of your favorite podcast of joy! We traveled north to our cabin of joy and met up with one of the true kings of joy, Santa Claus himself. We drink boozey egg nog and put Santa on the hotseat - twice! Also, Santa answers all of your questions and poses a few of his own.

It's a jolly, yuletime episode of joy and we hope you enjoy.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank

you all for listening and supporting us through it all. Sickness, busy-ness, good times and bad - we would not be doing this show without you. We hope that you get a chance to relax with your family and loved ones and celebrate whatever holiday you like.

Here is Ryan's image of the week:

Listeners! We put up episode 67 earlier today but it contained some editing errors! These have been fixed and we hope you enjoy the show.

This week we're a land horse and a sea horse.

This is our longest show ever. Seriously - it's 2 hours and 15 minutes long. We don't know what happened but we hope you enjoy it. Maybe it will make up for our completely unpredictable release schedule.

We talked about basically everything. Thanks to everyone for calling in and telling us what you want for Christmas.

We brought back our Twitter Warriors segment this week with an unprecedented four-way fight to the death! Our competitors were @AlliDucks, @ohnoforresst, @hateyou4ever, & @jujuniper

Thanks for listening. We love you.

It's Canadian Thanksgiving and we have somehow managed to procure a guest in the form of the first settler to arrive in Canada - Pete! He has a modern vernacular and is also a karaoke king. Check out his first settler blog here.

We are celebrating pumpkin ale season this week. This show is definitely a throwback to the golden days. (We are drunk) We have a couple jerks to speak of, and we talk - probably way too much - about UFOs and whipped peanut butter.

Thanks for being our friend.

We are completely unpredictable but we love you all. Thanks for sticking with us.

We're a couple of bears this week and it's pretty alright. We ripped off a segment from the Grapes of Rad and mourned the death of a local podcast. And get this, folks - Ryan spotted something!

We're back after a month long break.  Sorry we've been away - it's just hard sometimes to get it all together.  We hope that you are still here!  This week we bring back many of our segments and Ryan talks about his favorite thing: stupid criminals.

We've got an image of the week and it looks something like this!  We also talked about an old band we used to play in, and you can see a video here:                                                                                        Thanks for listening everybody! download here!

We're back after a substantial, unplanned, two and a half week break.  We are rested, sharp and agile.  We sing karaoke, talk about a young criminal, listen to a puffin, and, for a short time, Ryan is ensconced in velvet. You owe it to yourself to listen.  Also, songs of summer!

until next time, i don't need a bag - i've got my fuckin pants!

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

her

Double Dragon style dual-coded emails!

Kittens Inspired by Kittens

and

Cat Attacks Dog on Roomba

Until next time, folks - oh my gosh! what a bumpy ride!

It's a loosey-goosey, fun in the sun kind of episode and we're a dragon and a weasel.  We don't really talk about anything.  It's just 45 minutes of silence.

Enjoy!

This week we record in the kitchen because we're a goat and a walrus. We bring another exciting installment of "What'd you spot, spotter?" and a review of Pulp Fiction, which the goat just recently watched for the first time. Our pal Louie_E submitted his choice for the TGBA SONG OF SUMMER and it's great. The whole thing is going so well we're thinking we should just make a summer mixtape for you all. If anyone wants to design an album cover for it, we're interested!

Would you believe that I am uploading the show right now while sitting in a park? There are little white and yellow flowers all over, the sky is totally blue, and the temperature is 18 degrees celcius or 64 fahrenheit. AND I'm uploading it at a higher speed than I get at home. It's pretty much the best.

By the way, we are really hopeful that you will email us CONFIDENTIALLY at our NEW individual email addresses. Perhaps some sort of puzzle which can only be completed by reading our separate halves together on the show. MYSTIC. You can email us CONFIDENTIALLY by sending to IAN at TGBA dot CA or RYAN at TGBA dot CA.

until next time, here's Philip the Shed:
