Wow - Here it is, the first official episode!  November 1 got here faster that I expected.

My Sidekicks for this episode are:
Billy Flynn from Geek Radio Daily and the former Geeklabel Radio, today known as “Innuendo Boy.”  Apparently, Billy is offering his services to mimic me professionally.  For $0.25, you can hear him say “ookay.”  I didn’t know I had my own catch phrase, but it’s nice to be remembered.
Jordan Whiley, also know as the Code Poet of Geeklabel fame. Today, the “Thermonatrix.”
( I still say “what the…?)

 
In This Episode:

• Introductions
• What to expect and what not to expect from the show - We’re the Straight Men, not the comics, lower your expecations accordingly.
• The current state and future of Geeklabel Tees
• The Geeklabel Podcast Legacy - Billy Flynn is officialy appointed “Keeper of the Legacy.” His haul of swag includes:
  An autographed Jenna Von Oy photo (that’s what you can’t hear over all of the drooling and catcalls)
  My Little Cthulu (from Dreamland Toyworks)
  A seriously cool remote control dragon from our old friend Valharic
  All the leftover Geeklabel Podcast and Geeklabel Radio Tees
• A Fitness Update from the sidekicks
• Jordan/Thermonatrix is starting his career as a film star (villian) in Red Cloud Production’s Max VO2 . This now decreases his Six Degrees of  Kevin Bacon score to 3 (possibly 2)
• Billy apparently pays people to pee on him.  That’s what I heard, anyway.
• What everyone’s been doing “geekly.” Wii Fit, Star Wars - The Force Unleashed, Lego Batman
• Movie Talk - Norbit, Dark Knight, Iron Man, and the Kingfish’s childish need for a happy ending.
• Comics - Arkham Asylum is “way in the icky,” and therefore not for the Kingfish
• Why does DC suck, at least for toys?

The Official MetaMediocrity Rating Scale is now 1-10 Capes

• TV - Battlestar Galactica, Animated Batman & Superman, CLone Wars & The Star Wars Universe, Fringe, Smallville, Heroes
• The Burger King and The Quaker Oats dude look like podophiles
• A horrible segue to talking about the MetaMediocrity Audio Comic

I was working on the audio for Issue 001, and this was the conversation prior to going live.  I had to trim it out, but I thought it was too good to keep to myself.  Enjoy.

Owning a T-Shirt company ( Geeklabel.com ), like anything else, can be a pain.  However, it can provide opportunities as well.  I’ve been tweaking the logo to see if I could get a good screen-printable image.  I managed to come up with something that has only four colors, which is not too complicated.

I’m not sure how I’ll use t-shirts, as freebies, you pay shipping freebies, or as sale items. At least I’m gonna make a couple for myself.

Let me know what you think:
