About:Foster
I know you guys were joking around about me. It’s all good, but I have to respond.
If you were going to search for John’s thoughts about the iPhone on any site, you’d know to search for “that thing.” In fact, it actually makes it easier to find his comments. The same cannot be said about joe blow.
I think John’s names for things are funny. I do that type of thing. On top of coming up with funny names, I also steal them from people like Martin Sargent and John Foster. (Great artists steal, etc.) Personal confusers is funny in my book.
John is a little pompous, but so am I. It is part of his charm.
I HATE being reached by phone. I have to agree with him on the “Phones are a giant waste of my time” issue. Being woken up by something that could have been e-mailed to me drives me batty.
Young and impressionable? If I’m young and impressionable, you guys are old fuddy duddies that don’t fully comprehend the super cool interwebs that us young whipper snappers use instead of telegraphs.
Great episode, guys. Having Vinny in the left, and Slobo in the right still confuses the hell out of me, though. I have to mix it down to mono before I can listen.

By the way…
This was only 10 minutes shorter than #56. I am now going to give you crap about episode length from now on.
#56 with Grant: 1 hour, 45 minutes
#57 with Slobokan: 1 hour, 35 minutes

Yeah… That whole power button thing is a real fucking pain.
That being said, he should be the last one lecturing anyone about trade names. Screw him and screw his pompous cutesy naming conventions. He’s an ass and I wish everyone would stop dirtying their knees in front of him.

“Yeah… That whole power button thing is a real fucking pain.” -Vinny Ferrari
I can’t turn my land line off, Vinny. I’m not the only one living in my house. However, 90% of the phone calls are useless, and could have easily been e-mails instead.
