Hey, there's no episode this week?!?

Yes, its true. Sad, yea, all the more. But this week Lil' Tom and Paul have been unable to cobble a show of proper quality together.

Is this because they've began to slip? Maybe their breakneck pace has finally caught up to them. The literal weeks of constant production taking their toll on not just their own will but the peace and mind of their families and friends? Their loved ones caving in to the pressure of their constant absence and, and, even when they ARE here all they do is practice their banter and then even after you get one of them alone they can't stop talking like the next big joke is right around the corner!

E-HEMH! Perhaps.

Maybe they've run out of jokes. Maybe the 30 minutes a week is too much material to pull out of a simple phone call during a drive home?

Yeah. And maybe you should look out your window to make sure the world stopped happening.

Look, the boys are excited for the next show, but just not this week. This week, we all take a step back.

Take a step back and look toward the future.

See you next week, folks.

Love.

PS. Some time has been dedicated to the whole (finger quotes) Player-Plays-Shows-At-Slower-Speeds-Than-You'd-Think (end finger quotes) problem. We're putting all of our resources towards making sure you never have to listen to the show in any other format than the format your wanna. (Paul's taking it kind of personal and many heads may roll.)

So iTunes, podcatchers gallore or right off the page...it should all work soon.

Even More Love.

Episode 6 is here!!! How can you contain your jubilance you jealous rock stars you?!?

Thats right!!!

The Skeptics are quoted: "We have no idea what the Believers actually believed, but we hope it puts being devoured by a colony of giant mantises into a better context."

Show 6 Notes:

1.) Fire it up!!!
2.) Give it up for Mr. Fancypants in the shinny uniform.
3.) A Random Sampling of Paul's Life...leads to a startling conclusion!
4.) Tommy's Job.
5.) The case for making Christopher Robin a ward of the state.
6.) Paul Recommends.
7.) Not about kiddnapping.
8.) Outro/Shameless self-promoters.
9.) Bonus Track

We apologize for the strange slowness of our show...

Lil' Tom and Paul store their shows online @ both PodOmatic and Our Media. The large player to the right is from PodOmatic via Feedburner, and the small one in the post below is from Our Media.

Follow these links to our source files, and you will hear how the show should actually sound: FUNNY.

PodOmatic

Our Media

Also it seems to work fine in iTunes.


And you're right. It does seems strange that two files from two different sources in two players have the same problem...but there you have it.

Enjoy!!!

Things were a bit askew, now rightened, anew. Phew!!!

Sorry for the confusion, folks, you may have noticed that in the last 20 or so hours that Episode 5 was posted, that the show sounded a bit like Episode 4. That's because Paul linked the wrong file to the feed.

And he is most chagrined.

Now all things should be corrected, so no hard feeling and on with the show!!!

Just a reminder, subscribe in iTunes, give us a fancy 5-star review in the music store and please please please vote in the pole down a ways a bit in the right sidebar of this blog.

Thanks and look for a new episode of Better Bitter Banter coming soon!!!

That's Right!!! Episode 5 is HERE!!!

The mountain passes prove perilous but not as menacing as the mantises multitude!

Show 5 Notes:

1.) Intro/International Hello!
2.) UAIEO
3.) Better Get To Know A Bitter Banter-er #1,
AKA Farcical Experiment in Media Abstraction (FEMA)
4.) Opportunistic
5.) *Deleted Scene: Clowns
6.) Outro

Yep, the feed should update shortly. Please vote in the poll below, and enjoy everybody!!

Episode 4 thougths...

Hey folks! That's right, episode 4 is dropping a few days ahead of schedule! Whoo-hoo! Thanks for checking out the podcast...we're checking you out. Yeah. Sexy subscriber-mamas.

You can increase both our and your own awesome if you subscribe by clicking the pretty orange button over there, or (finally) by searching for us in iTunes. That's right, those Draconian censors have finally decided that lil' Tom and Paul's humble entertainment is suitable for their apple-centric world. Our ribs groan from the weight of our hearts bloated with the approval of Steve Jobs' media filtration team.

Alternately, you can also listen by clicking on either the old or new feeds above and below that candy colored orange button, or you can listen to the show directly here, on our fancy podOmatic embedder-er.

As always, please help the show by subscribing, leaving a comment here or at our podcast page on podomatic.com You can digg us, you can write us a fancy 5-star review in iTunes, or, if you have rather more clandestine intentions, such as information on where you can purchase the music used in the podcast, you should drop a email to littletomandpaul@gmail.com You can also use that address to provide lil' Tom and Paul with material for a future show. Why should they do all the work, right?

End of groveling. Check out the show notes below:

Episode 4 Is Here! That's Right! The future is now!

The survivors divide into two groups, the believers trek to the lair of the mantises, while the skeptics seek out the eagles in the mountains.

1.) How's the podcast going? Lemme tell ya. What's that song with the audio from that movie where the guy is, like, the last guy in the world and he's just, just now getting to, uh, you know, know about it and he's all yelling: "Hello?" with all this great echo effect on his voice? You could say that our podcast is like that. Really? You don't know what I'm talking about? How have you not heard of this? Well, in my mind its all bad casio techno like in all those uh...damn...who's that guy...? You know, that WAY better than B list director who made all those B list horror movies that rule the 80's but have that terrible synth music sound (the guy's, like, the composer toooooo...this might just be one guy, now that I'm thinking it through...but)...I think the song is on the soundtrack for that movie. Anyway, you should check it out.
2.) Hey, segment 1...that's a great idea for a movie.
3.) Political Segment #1: If not oxygen then how about pizza?
4.) Musical Segment: Shhhhh...don't get upset. See that cloud?
5.) Random Sampling: Paul's Purchases.
6.) Paul's Apartment is Wack: Design Toscano
7.) http://www.archive.org/details/1960_kennedy-nixon_1
8.) Experimental Informative Segment Take 2

The village burns, yes, so where or to whom can we turn?
Certainly the Mantises will save us!
