Tecmo & Nixon Podcast?!?
NixonTheGrouch and I started a podcast called Badugi All-Stars. Yep, it's just as exciting as it sounds. Check out the link below for episode 1, titled "Chocolate Friday." If so inclined, you can subscribe via iTunes. (Note - You'll have to download the mp3 for now. Streaming doesn't work for some reason.)

We'll be looking to interview members of the DC community, random people on the street, Pokey (but not Gumby), and others so get an alibi ready for when we ask you.
(This song has nothing to do with the podcast. I just like it.)

If we're using youtube links to set the standards for the podcast, watch this one before listening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4difPEQ8wA4

Kinder Eggs are italian, but we get them all over europe :)
I'm take some over to Vegas and sell them on the black market.

Great podcast guys. It really sucks to hear comments like that about ap/ub when you have your entire roll on ub though.

Honestly, I expected a lot more bickering.

You should have heard the debate about whose name got to go first.

Thanks to all who listened! We're going to try to improve on a few things in the future so stay tuned!
@chuck - I feel for you man.
@everyone - We'll try to argue more!

MOAR! I need something for my hey smile withdraw.

@Tecmo - No, we won't!

Pretty sure Kinder Eggs have been banned in the US for a long time, but not because the toy is "non-nutritive." It's basically a choking hazard to children. I tried one when I was in Germany. Can't remember wtf the toy was now...
aumorgan is really bummed you guys didn't interview him, btw!
TecmoSuperBowl posted on April 27, 2011 at 12:35 PM
Maybe if aumorgan showed up he would have been interviewed :)

Kind = child. Kindergarten = children's garden. Kinderei = Children's egg. Kinderschokolade = yum!
But they're not german, they just cater to them, Ferrero is italian.
I do feel that 2p2 bashing is overrated, though :/
TecmoSuperBowl posted on April 27, 2011 at 23:55 PM
Do Germans really love chocolate or something?
Will try to tone down the 2p2 bashing, but I honestly feel like it is infested with the idiots you desperately wanted to get away from in high school.

@Tecmo: Obviously it's a nationwide level, since Germans, being robots, have no need for food.
bellatrix posted on April 28, 2011 at 01:54 AM
Yep, we *really* love chocalate! and coffee! And cake! and good bread... oh boy, so happy to be going back, yay good food (well, americans do have better steak... and ethnic food, lol)
So weird about 2p2, because I actually have made quite good friendships there. But then the assholes mostly leave me alone, same as in high school, because they had to pay me for me to do their math homework :P And assholes got charged more!
bellatrix posted on April 28, 2011 at 01:55 AM
Antlers: It's the Austrians that are the robots :)
TecmoSuperBowl posted on April 28, 2011 at 02:15 AM
I have a strong feeling that there are pockets of really great people over at 2p2, but you have to know where to look. I'm more of an outsider looking in and see the plethora of idiotic posts and it just makes me squirm and want to run back to DC where there are far fewer stupid posts. There are obviously some really talented people over there (pokercast is the best podcast on the internet), and I imagine I would like it more had I been involved a long time ago. As of now, it is widely known that the signal:noise ratio is very out of wack these days. It's still a great place if used properly, I just wish it didn't portray such immaturity.

Germans are definitely crazy for chocolate, but I wouldn't think they would go so crazy for the chocolate in Kinder Eggs. I guess it's technically chocolate, but hardly the best Germany has to offer...
NixonTheGrouch posted on April 28, 2011 at 14:49 PM
@bellatrix: My (baseless) theory is that perhaps you've had better luck with 2+2 because you're a limit player. I've found the draw poker forum to be extremely pleasant and helpful, but anything related to NLHE (my primary game) seems to have a large number of jerks who enjoy pointing out how much better they are and don't care about helping others learn. Non-strat areas like NVG are also far meaner than DC in my experience.
I do agree that there are some great people over there, but it gets buried in all the garbage.

When can we expect episode 2?
TecmoSuperBowl posted on April 29, 2011 at 03:05 AM
Current plan is to record Saturday. iTunes is good to go now so subscribe there!

It was searchable as of yesterday. Thanks for asking.

Thanks for making this. It is making my terrible bus ride to AC a little less miserable.

Np! "A little less miserable" was our goal!
