    A sonic boom next to your ear, and you're done.
    If there is a sonic boom of any significant size next to your ear, I think you have more pressing problems than hearing loss.

    The pressure wave alone would liquefy your lungs.

    When background music works:
    a. when it is specially composed or chosen to reflect an enhance the mood or emotions or themes of the content it is accompanying.
    b. no other times.
    That's a little uncharitable, case in point Mike Dent's Friday ACE podcast. It's a podcast about Japanese Pop culture and is really good. Also, while the Daft Punk that plays in the background does not nessesairly reflect the mood, it does add to the kenetic feel of the podcast as a whole. However, his podcast is highly scripted and I agree that the music detracts from the natural flow in ATW9K as there is more than one "speed" to the conversation (also, it's a conversation and not one man talking into a microphone, diffrent feels that's all I'm sayin'). I think that if you want to spice up the show with some music, then you can choose some "Theme Music" for the bits. For example, if IMDB Bingo can be "Ride of the Valkaries" or Bidding War can start with some relevent sound clip from The Simpsons or something like that. I think that could be pretty cool.

    It's very similar to explosives - It's not the fireball that gets you, it's the compression wave going out ahead of it.

    That's nice and all, but it's bad for your hearing. Well, maybe not with waves and birds, they aren't too loud.
    Yeah, who would have thought it? Scott is taking specific examples and applying them with broad brushes to the entire world. And then backtracking. Going for a walk around the deck of a ship while listening to a podcast is going to damage my hearing in no way at all.

    Enjoyed this episode. Background music was distracting though.

    I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for all the banana jokes I have made at Omar's expense. (And all the ones I will undoubtedly continue to make.) I recognize that Costa Rica is a proud nation with a long and storied history, and that bananas, while delicious, do not characterize the country or its indefatigable spirit.

    LOL, like I'd take offense on it. Thing is banana IS one of our top exports, with coffee and pineapples.

    If you guys want, you can make fun of my Filipino heritage. I enjoy a good Flip joke. :P Afterall we are sea spics.

    I'm also on the wagon of not being a fan of the music. It does add to it somewhat, but I've found that for the most part, music only works when it's just one person talking. Conversations do not work as well.

    I'm listening to older episodes now, at least those available on iTunes, and I would have totally nailed #11 on the GameFAQs top NES games. River City Ransom of course.

    I'm 75 percent finished editing this week's episode, but I'm having trouble. Ro, how much of the Snowjob conversation do you think I can legally leave in there? Also, I would like to formally apologize to the following groups: The Japanese, Italians, the mentally handicapped, and mothers.

    We had a conversation about a snowjob?

    I am trying to recall, but I honestly can't remember right now.

    And just by the name of it, I can only imagine how bad the conversation was.

    ATW9K #16 — Omar’s Snowjob Adventure (or The Two Ros Show)

    We’re back with 100 percent more listener-submitted questions! Submit your own to the gang at atw9k@simplysyndicated.com.

    This week, we’re joined by Ro Karen of Starbase 66. She helps us go for movie trilogies in our Bidding War, then examine Rolling Stone’s top 500 songs in the Rank and File game. She also does passingly fair in the Hot Seat with a Star Trek category, considering that she hosts a Star Trek podcast.

    Also in the Hot Seat, Omar talks Mario, Kevin hearkens back to G.I. Joe: The Move (from 1987), and Ro has a category that is NOT Sex and the City. Of course, we also play some IMDB Bingo.

    Thank GOD it's not the one with the Disney category. Seriously. Hide that one away.

    No, that's quite alright. Trust me, you don't want to know.

    But there are only two Godfather movies, how can it be a trilogy? You confuse me.

    OH, Godfather Trillogy, I didn't remember that either. It would have been a lot more of a mindbender to think of ones that ONLY have 3 movies, as most have many more revisits and sequels. An prequels. And Godfather would have been a good one for that! Does the "Man WIth No Name" Trillogy count?

  • JasonJason
    I, for one, would welcome a Godfather remake if it were approached with appropriate respect.
  • TorontoKevTorontoKev
    Jason, please circle the most appropriate answer:

    A. remake
    B. sequel
    C. prequel
    D. reboot
    E. special edition re release
    F. 3D theatrical release
