Hey guys and girls, I can get the link, but it only sends me to a quicktime thinggy where it only plays it, and doesn’t let me download it, and on iTunes, it wont recognize it. Any ideas as to what I can do? Thanks and LOVE the show!

It takes a while for iTunes to pick it up, so have patience in them. Steve Jobs is doing his best.
Meanwhile, either listen directly or right click on the direct download link to download the episode to your computer.

OMG Penny Thanks! Love you SO much now
Yes, I do fangirl people, even though I’m a guy
March 9th, 2009 on 9:19 PM
its working on itunes now
March 9th, 2009 on 9:26 PM
Hey…
It may be just me, but I think someone’s audio is out or something at some points in the episode. Like at 29:01 Laura says “There are a lot of them.” And there is a really long pause. At first I thought ya’ll just had nothing to say but it happens a few more times when you were discussing Watchmen (for example, at 34:17). That’s as far as I’ve gotten in the show so I don’t know if it happens more. Thought you ought to know.
March 9th, 2009 on 9:26 PM
just letting you know just listened to the show… and it was fantastic… however the audio is a bit stuffed at some points… at some points you can hear you guys agreeing, however you cant hear the other person given their points, for example… just letting you know…
March 9th, 2009 on 9:32 PM
Ok, I’m listening to SM now. I wanted to let you all know that during the watchman discussion and a few other parts I couldn’t hear Matt or Greg at all.
March 9th, 2009 on 9:35 PM
It looks like there were some problems editing. So far when talking about Obama’s withdrawal plan and Watchmen they’re are a few seconds of silence.
March 9th, 2009 on 9:56 PM
Hey guys, #5 won’t show up in iTunes!
Oh noes!
Also, what’s up with the download button on the site? It just brings up a quicktime player, can’t download.
Lastly, I’m so glad you mentioned Night! It really is an amazingly fascinating book and more people should read it.
March 9th, 2009 on 10:22 PM
I don’t know if it was just my file off itunes, but there are some weird parts in the show where there is missing audio. I’m not done listening to the show, but it happened during the Watchmen discussion. I think Matt’s audio was missing. Either that, or the volume was too low for me to hear.
March 9th, 2009 on 10:24 PM
Hey guys, listening to it now, but there are parts that are cut out.. and just dead silence.. :/
March 9th, 2009 on 10:42 PM
The same is happening for me, something is wrongbor you guys must have been curseing up a storm about the army withdrawal.
March 9th, 2009 on 10:53 PM
Just finished listening to the show; there are some strange silences (I know other people have already mentioned it, but I’m just adding my voice to the chorus)
Also, as a Zune user, I can’t wait until my Zune breaks down and I can get an iPod. I have the original version of the Zune, before they were smaller and cooler-looking, and merely fat and sad (Zune 30, released in ‘06) but…I have to admit, Microsoft has made Zune almost indestructible. I’ve dropped my Zune who knows how many times (and a couple times on purpose, hoping it would break so I could have an excuse to trash it) over the past three years and it’s still not dead. Just my rant on why I don’t have an iPod.

looks like elisa has poor audio luck…
March 10th, 2009 on 4:42 AM
A lot of times, Matt’s sound wasn’t going through.
March 10th, 2009 on 3:50 PM
Where the hell is the first episode?
March 10th, 2009 on 4:17 PM
Hey, can the rest of us see that naked picture of Jake Gyllenhaal? Yummmm.
March 11th, 2009 on 12:02 AM
Hey guys, good show (except for that audio stuff). A few comments on one of the stories. the chris brown thing – unfortunately people look to celebrity’s to set examples we shouldn’t but it happens, by the way i didn’t know anything about this till i listened to your show, the only chris brown i new is the Bondi Vet. http://ten.com.au/bondi-vet.htm i don’t listen that kind of music and don’t watch that much t.v.
Any a similar thing is happening right now it Australia. NRL (National Rugby league) player Brett Stewart has been suspended after he was charged last night over the alleged sexual assault of a 17-year-old girl. i believe if he is guilty he should receive full punishment, but suspending him from play before this has been proven is not right. I’m not a big sport fan but this sounds like guilty till proven innocent.
Heres a story you could discuss, the other day Australian Prime Minster Kevin Rudd swore (shit) on national t.v.

There are some saying that this was done on purpose, to make him more popular while specking to an audience of sacked Pacific Brands workers. like i said earlier with celebrity’s, politician’s are in the public eye but is this a big deal? it just a word, not even a bad one compared to the C word. (only ever said that once, very bad day at work). hope to hear your views on this.

Hey – yeah, umm I too would like a link to that Gyllenhaal pic.
March 11th, 2009 on 8:10 AM
Ladies Ladies. Calm down;) Here is the link to the Gyllenhaal pic: http://www.comingsoon.net/nextraimages/princeofpersianew1.jpg
March 11th, 2009 on 12:14 PM
jake is not nude in that picute! you, guys, had me all excited for nothing….. i used to have a major crush on him back in the day…. i dont like his hair like that…
March 12th, 2009 on 5:47 AM
I love this new podcast. I’m promoting it like crazy amoung my friends. It was always hard to do that with mugglecast because a lot of my friends weren’t that into Harry Potter. Elysa and Laura’s optism day was hysterical. Very smart, and witty let’s kick Rush Limbaugh off the air and give Political Bitches their own show! I love everyone of the hosts! Love the screw, marry, kill segment!
March 13th, 2009 on 2:00 PM
Hey is there any possibilities to get to see the famous Jake gyllenhaal pics anywhere here soon?
March 15th, 2009 on 1:44 AM
Hey I just wanted to tell you guys that in episode 5 when you talked about the music in watchmen, many of the songs they used were quoted at the end of each chapter of the book. So they were further bringing in elements of the book into the film. Personally I thought it was very creative.
March 15th, 2009 on 1:48 PM
Best episode yet! I loved Laura and Elysa’s rant!!
March 15th, 2009 on 9:31 PM
This episode was okay minus the weird glitches, but I think they definitely NEED Andrew. Everything is kind of boring without him and it turns into the Penny and Greg show, which is kind of annoying. But Matt, Laura, and Micah were awesome as usual so that saved it! Where’s Eric and Kevin?
March 19th, 2009 on 6:33 PM
Transcript of Laura and Elysa’s rant?
Would be LOVELY…
March 23rd, 2009 on 3:56 PM
Hey, just wanted to put it out there, but you spelled Jon Stewart’s name wrong, it’s “Jon” without the ‘h’. Just wanted to correct you on that. I LOVE THE SHOW! It is probably my favourite podcast i listen to at the moment ^_^ Keep it up you guys, you rock so hard xD love you guys
