Show #31 - Geek Flicks Vs. Chick Flicks - With a Twist!

Mon, 30 Jun 2008 05:08:00 GMT

Oh Boy are you lucky! It is another episode of A Geek and His Wife. Our last show was running long, so we postponed our trivia challenge to show #31 instead of #30. You are going to want to hear this trivia challenge, it has a great twist to it. You can play along at home, too, and then call up to make fun of the questions that Kevin and Heather got wrong. We also talk about our Anniversary celebration and gifts, some free kart racing, and of course your voicemails. If you would like to leave your own message, give us a call at 206-203-5613.

Show #30 - Indianatastic

Tue, 24 Jun 2008 06:37:00 GMT

Holy crap, this is hands down the longest episode of A Geek and His Wife ever! We have been gone for a long time and we have a lot to talk about. On this show we cover our entire trip to and through Indiana from our plane taking off from the Valley of the Sun until our flight home. Learn about what goes on in bathrooms at weddings, undersea tours of lake swallowing caves, crazy backwards people, and we even throw some inuendo in for those kinds of people who like it. We recorded this whole show from beginning to end without a break, and we even didn't have time to cover everything. So look for another show soon so that we can do our Trivia Challenge, and also talk about our anniversary celebration. Call in with your questions or comments to 206-203-5613.

Geek Week - Show #10 - It's Over Now

Sat, 7 Jun 2008 21:54:00 GMT

You can't get rid of the Geek Week. This week I am joined once again by Aaron and we geek out about all sorts of topics. Amazingly enough we only discuss politics for about 15min, so you can enjoy the rest of the 50 minutes or so politic free. We talk about Aaron's new gaming console and why he has gone to the dark side, we also discuss buying things from stores online, the new "single band" guitar hero games, argue over what Apple's going to announce next week, and finally we end the show with an argument on digital distribution. There's a few more topics mixed in there, but you'll have to listen to get the full scoop. Visit Aaron at http://www.bigshowradio.com and be sure to check out his podcast, The Big Show. If you have a comment for either Geek Week or A Geek and His Wife, please feel free to give us a call at 206-203-5613.

Show #28 - Car Fusetastic

Tue, 20 May 2008 06:20:00 GMT

Our lives are so exciting that we are actually running out of time to tell all our stories without even doing our regular segments as filler! Since we last recorded a show, we've had a podcaster meetup at our house, celebrated Mother's Day, found fun way to track work around the house, went to a concert, had a "fun" experience with our car, and even have time to recommend a game, a movie, and provide the opportunity to win cash prizes! If you want to hear Barely cussing, listen to Kevin having a bit of fun at a listener's expense, and also hear us go off on a rant, you've found the right show. Call in with your questions or comments to 206-203-5613.

As a result, we cover all sorts of fun topics including some movies we've watched recently, karaoke and guitar hero fun, the merits of hacking your iPod touch, where to get your music from online, and much more. Kevin and Aaron definitely disagree on a few of these topics, so you are in for a treat if you want to hear some good arguing.

As always, Shaniqua interrupts me constantly and won't shut up about her new weave.
