Episode 22 – “Where the hell is Irwin?!”

Published on August 30, 2007 in Shows. 0 Comments

Today started out with me spilling copious amounts of soy milk down my pants only to have it puddle at my feet as I stared incredulously. As such, this proved to be a GOOD thing because our show went off without a hitch! No technical difficulties, no crying babies, no bleeding virgins that refuse to die in the name of our show. Stephen, assisted by Frankie U, got some amazingly hilarious and penis heavy news this week, and even one account of a man biting his girlfriend’s snake. Yeah, we were confused too.

Factoid of the Week:
The fear of having peanut butter stuck to the roof of your mouth is Arachibutyrophobia

Episode 21 – “Yeah Baby, Like a CAT!”

Published on August 24, 2007 in Shows. 0 Comments

Well, save for Ashley muting herself halfway through the show… everything went SWIMMINGLY! Whoever sacrificed virgin babies… we thank you. In this wow-a-licious episode we’ve got a toddler who thinks he is Mario, a Japanese man who fingered the Prime Minister Abe, sex toys used as a weapon, and a dwarf who glued himself to a vacuum cleaner. What more could one person ask for in electronic entertainment? We say nothing, and we will eat a scorpion if you don’t agree!*

*Members of Horseshoes and Hand Grenades will not really eat any scorpions at any time unless we are starving to death on an island, and short of death, eating the scorpion is our only hope of survival.

Factoid of the Week:
The liquid inside young coconuts can be used as substitute for blood plasma.

Episode 20 – “Where Did My Thing Go?”

Published on August 17, 2007 in Shows. 0 Comments

This has been the most entertaining show to make yet! Thanks SO much to Jared, K-man, Mark, Chris, and Producer Bill for participating in our pseudo live show. And thanks to Frankie U for submitting stories for the week. We have an amazing line-up for you this week with exploding chickens, thieving goats, poor nuns, and potato peelers gone rogue.

Give us some feedback! Did you enjoy the layout? Did you love the pseudo liveness?

Skype Reports Login Issues

Published on August 17, 2007 in Announcements. 0 Comments

UPDATE: Looks like Skype is up and running again. We’re still on for the semi-live show! So get ready to give us a call around 7:45 so we can go over how it’s all going to work. 

Okay….I’ve decided that the Evil Ninja Net MonkeyZ are out to kill us, and the rest of the internet in the process. Or it could be squirrels chewing through the lines so that we can’t spread our message of the imminent squirrel uprising. Apparently Skype has disabled downloading of the client, and is having login issues that they are “working very hard to fix.” I think some of you reported problems adding me (fulltangninja) as a contact, and I think this issue explains it.

If Skype is still having issues tonight, we may be forced to reschedule. As much as I hate it, this is the only way we’ve mastered when it comes to doing this show. Keep checking back here for updates and we’ll let you know what’s going on. As of right now, we’re still on for 7:45 in hopes that everything will start working properly again. Keep your fingers crossed!

Live Show

Published on August 16, 2007 in Announcements. 0 Comments

Hey everybody! As you know, if you listened to the show or are registered on the forum, we will be doing a semi-live show for our 20th episode. We’d love for you guys to join in and we have a couple ways for you to do this.

1. Send us a 30 second or less audio clip about “What WTF means to you” in mp3 format. Make sure you mention your name and where you are from. Send all submissions to fans@horseshoes-handgrenades.com

2. You can join us on Skype at 7:45pm EST. All you have to do is add “fulltangninja” (aka Steve) as a contact and give him a call at that time. If you do not have Skype, you can get it at http://www.skype.com
It is totally free to use when calling computer to computer. We use it to do our show and it works great. We want you to call in at 7:45 so we can hear everyones sound quality and make sure it’s all going to sound good.

We’re very excited about doing this show. We haven’t ever done anything like this, so all the people participating will be lab rats to our weird experiment. Hopefully we can get everybody in one conference, but I know Skype has limits, so it’s really going to be a first come, first serve. Next time we do something like this, we’ll try to have our system a little more nailed down and figure out a really good way to make it happen.

We can’t wait to hear from you guys!

Episode 19 – “Let’s Trip the Light Fantastic, Baby!”

Published on August 13, 2007 in Shows. 1 Comment

Our 19th episode is CRAMMED with obscure, gross, hilarious, and oh-so-cute news! We couldn’t decide what was worthy and what should be chucked… so we kept it all! I’m writing this before we record in the hopes that the gods of podcasting will shine down upon this, oh wickedest, of episodes and make the quality shiney. We’ve got a follow up from episode 6, hello kitty, and a Swedish grandmother’s angry beaver! What more could you ask for in a 40 min show?

Post Note: Sorry for the delay, but the podcasting gods decided not to shine down upon us and gave us a ton of crap while we were trying to complete this nugget of awesomeness. But we have it now! This is take 2 of the show, as take 1 didn’t come out right. I do think that this one turned out much better and it may have been that the gods were doing us a favor :)

Episode 18 – “Ya Know, Your Face Doesn’t Have Windshield Wipers”

Published on August 3, 2007 in Shows. 0 Comments

ARGH! Someone must really enjoy watching Stephen and I suffer. I assploded my mic right before the show somehow and had to make a mad dash to the cesspool that is Wal*Mart. When I arrived, I closed my eyes and drove through the parking lot (everyone else seems to do it) and found a halfway decent parking spot (SCORE!). I raced to the back of the store and snagged the only USB headset with a mic I could find in the illustrious city of Beckley. I was making good time until I reached the front of the store. NONE of the self check-outs were open and only two people were working the front. Stupid Wal*Mart. Stupid mic. In this episode, we bring you: evil squirrels (again), evil monkeys, evil dogs, and evil dentists!

We go through hell and Wal*Mart to bring you this show. Enjoy! :P
