Not ANOTHER (Return From) Hiatus!

What up, Internet?

How's everyone been? Seems like forever since our last post.

Oh, that's because it has been.

Seriously, in Internet years - it's literally been years. And I hate the word "literally" right now.

First things first. What's up with us? Well, Sam the man has finally made the epic trek to CO, and will now be appearing live in the studio for our podcast sessions! Woot woot!

The wife and I had our second baby, and he is a gangster. No really, straight gangster. Just check out these pix:

The saddest part is that this kid is only 2 months old, and he is already so much cooler than his dad. Guess he's got good genes, lol!

In other news, we ARE actually going to be recording again. Yes, I know it is hard to believe, but we are going to start hammering out some new shows. Maybe we'll call it Season 2.

There are far too many awesome and totally random things happening each and every day to pass up, so we'll be sending the best of randomness your way once a week!

Still working out the kinks on setting up a new recording studio (aka my bedroom closet), but come yogurt or sharp cheddar cheese, we will be putting up a new show this coming..... Tuesday? Ish?

Anyhoo, just wanted to let you guys know we're back. I will try to post something everyday, no guarantees though. Text, pix, maybe a short video... we'll see. But I definitely want to try to keep it much more regular.

Will post the new show links and info soon.

Aspen bound in the a.m, so time to catch some Zzz's for me. Chat at y'all tomorrow.

Cheers,

Levi

Episode 7 - Be A Bear!

Are we behind on notes? Maybe just a little.

Ok. Alot. My B.

But hey, when you've got as much randomness to cover each week as I do, some things fall to the side, you know?

Anyhoo, here are the links for this episode. There really are some gold nuggets in here guys. You should check them out.

Hiatus Havok!

This isn't going on the Internet, is it?

Well, we're back everybody! We know, it may not be the greatest return episode ever, but getting the mic turned back on and getting a show posted was the most important part!

If you're looking for the show notes, unfortunately they were too far gone after the power-surge mishap to recover, and frankly Levi didn't want to spend another 2-3 hours putting everything back together. Lesson learned: always make note files in locations with an auto-save/back-up feature!

All that being said, we are working on some cool stuff for upcoming episodes. Interviews, contests, and a website are all in the near future.

If you like the show, be sure to rate us in iTunes! Remember, 5 stars reviews are all that we accept. Ha! But seriously, it helps us to keep up our street cred.

You can also follow us on Facebook and Twitter, email us at randomtalkpod@gmail.com, or leave us a voicemail: 970-239-1639! You never know - you could be famous!

Thanks for being awesome listeners, and for all the fish!

Levi

Not gonna lie, this thing looks awesome! Would love to take a walk around Fallout or Bioshock with these on. 

What do you think? Is VR the next wave? How would you use the #Oculus? 

Insane Domino Tricks!

So some of you may already be familiar with Hevesh5, the self proclaimed "Domino Artist" that has gained some real traction with his Youtube videos.

I (Levi) have personally been a "Domino Destruction" fan for years, and Hevesh5 doesn't fail to deliver! This latest video is the culmination of several years of dedicated domino building and planning. Check it out, and be sure to subscribe to his channel for even more awesome Domino action! Hevesh5, keep up the excellent work friend!
