Hello folks!

Well i am now crashing in a nice hostel somewhere in London.  Luckily enough they have free wi-fi and I am within reach from my bunk. Happy joy!

England has been exciting and fun to say the least.  The only problems I have had so far involve people.. and they were fellow travelers.   Locals are all good! Indifferent.. my favourite!

Tip:

When introducing yourself, don't say "Hi, my name is Jim, from New York" because this is not a convention and I don't give a shit where you are from.  Rookie travelers.   *sigh* 

If there are any Canadians reading this, remove your stupid Canadian flag patch from your back pack NOW! It is lame.  If you are going to do patches, put on patches from all your travels. Each country.. not just Canada.  no one cares.  you suck.

So yeah... it is pretty cool here.  There is some sweaty fat guy snoring right now. Incidentally he is from Germany.  I asked him if he had some good porn but he didn't reply.  Either he doesn't speak English, or is not at all aware of what is legal and illegal here in England.

I will get some pictures out soon and try to record something in the next few days.  We shall see!!

This will be the last episode for a few weeks as I am going on a holiday for a month and half. I should be able to do some blogging while I am away so check the website every few days.

Check out their website and take a listen to their nerdy wordy podcast. Kelly sounds like an ex girlfriend of mine so that was a bit disturbing for me on a personal level.

Here is another video for you to enjoy. This one is 5 minutes long.. which is a bit much in length, but it is a home movie that I made just for you guys.

See some whales in action as they jump out of the water all around me while I was on holiday in Hervey Bay. Funny thing.. it is spelled 'Hervey' but pronounced 'Harvey'....

Well there are a few changes as you may have noticed.  First there is a name change.  It is now The Great Adrian Show.

If anyone has any better suggestions please let me know.. I will not finalise everything until sometime in September when I have more time to make all the changes.  There is going to be a lot of work ahead for me as a name change is a fair bit 'o figuring.

So yeah.. if there is a good G word you can think of, drop me a line... 

The reason for the name change is simple.  Geoff is very busy.  Thats it!  He will be back... but until then, I'll record everything. So I hope that is ok with all of you.. all ten of you. :)  Ha....

But there are going to be some great things ahead!  I am going to continue with the video casts and mix up the show with all sorts of wacky things. 

So stay tuned and keep listening... and watching.

Here is the next episode:

2: The news.. ah yeah. Tons and HEAPS of news!
3: Food in China... *yuck*
4: A new food recipe! Three Bean Salad and some other jibber jabba
5: Two super funny jokes you can tell at dinner parties and win new friends!
6: More junk... just talking smack about nothing much.

Right.  I would like some advice on how this episode sounded as I did a complete solo.  I thought it was alright....

Whatever....

Thanks to all my faithful listeners.

Hello all!

Great news!  We were picked as a podcast pickle pick for a day. PPP!!  Thanks Barely... You're super awesome for picking The Gas! 

I am now in a mad rush to get this episode out there.. so...

No Geoff today...  But it was a good episode. I got my friend Dan to head to the pub with me and we talked some crap.  Movie reviews and another story about me in China.  Plus some other things I edited in.

All in all, this episode is a wee bit of anarchy, much like all of our shows... ha!

Enjoy!






There, now I have PROOF that I was picked for the podcast pickle. What a great honour! YAY!! Thanks again Barely.

This episode:

Adrian talks about his new Motorola mobile and here are the links:

Link 1

Link 2

Adrian talks about how poor he was and his first visit to China and what happened.

This episode isn't raunchy, no anger.. just honest chit chat.  Very different from the last few.  Give us some feedback. 

Next episode will have some stories about Geoff so it won't be all about Adrian! 

Check out our new pic:

I just watched a documentary on TV about Cuba and Mr. Castro.   He has been in power for about 40 years now and Cuba is still under communist control.  But the people refer to it as socialism.  Which is interesting, because socialism is really pretty much communism now isnâ��t it?  Except when you hear communist you think of Russia or perhaps China and a militant government controlled organization.  But itâ��s the same concept.  Equality for everyoneâ�¦. All people get the same wage according to their position, and everyone has equal access to food.  On and on and on.  I am not sure if I have this completely correct, as I am just some random guy spewing out some text.  For what reason? I donâ��t knowâ�¦  just because I can I guess.

But the next time your walking down the street and you see some stupid white faced macaroni and cheese eating university students who are condemning capitalist society because people are starving, unemployed, and the sky is falling, ask them, what do they really wish to accomplish.  Would they prefer communism? 

Or better yet, go ahead and buy a Big Mac, then walk up to them, take a big bite, and tell them how fucking good it tastes.

Vive Le Economy!  What is wrong with working hard and being rewarded?

Hello all my friends,

So I got a wee bit bored and dusted off my old webcam and thought tonight would be a good night to learn how to encode to .wmv and all that fun stuff.  I'd like to incorporate some video into the show now and then in the future.  And like all things... there is a learning curve.

But hey, you can watch my lame lame lame lame video.

Ah yes.. Episode 5!!  Very exciting.  In this episode we talk about an Elephant Poo story, some chatter about China I think and a snake bite story.  We had some more technical difficulties so a segment or two did not make it to the final edit.

No Fear though, as it is a well rounded show. I think.. I don't know. 

No more sound noise as I have finally figured out how to use the noise removal tool in audacity properly!  YAY!!!

Well this episode.. is uhm.. interesting.  I may be making some apologies come episode #5.  I was in a very angry mood so I kind of went off on a rant.  I'm better now though!

I rage on about the natives, Geoff steals a cat, we read some funny German stories (And yes.. this has been a recurring theme)..

All in all a VERY wacky episode. I was exhausted and we spent an hour messing around with technical crap just to try and get the show recorded!  ugh.. still not 100%.  Ah well..

How many emails have we had?  ONE!  Hahaha  But it was a really good one... listen to episode #4 and I'll read it on the air...

It's too bad my friend Geoff isn't a little bit more accessible.  I believe we'd be able to post a new podcast every few days...  I think his thesis is keeping him busy. ah well. Go Geoff go!

This is an exciting episode because Geoff and I recorded for almost 30 minutes non stop!  Unedited....  oh yeah.

On this episode.  We talk about Anzac Day, We drink another brand of beer, I share my bathroom prank plus more!

I have to apologise for the audio quality. There seems to be a slight hum in the background.  My audio engineering abilities are really minimal so I do not know how to get rid of it. If anyone does, please let me know.

Hello all.

This is a reposting of the first episode.  I had to change the ID3 tags (Thanks Corby) and also re-encode it for 44khz as it was sounding like it was recorded by the chipmunks before! This was when it was played by macromedia players... 

Episode #2 should be posted Tuesday Australian time so check back.
