Arnold And Egon’s Generic Podcast Ep. 5

Since it’s invention, downinthewell.com has been all about REinvention.  The wheel, sliced bread, all of those things you never thought you needed a new solution for – and podcasts are no exception.

Arnold and Egon began this podcast with video games, mainly because Egon knows a heck of a lot about video games, and Arnold, well, Arnold likes to play Egon’s new shiny video games.  They have found that limiting the podcast to ”talkin’ ’bout video games” just isn’t enough to squeeze into their time slot, so they’ve decided to expand their repertoire beyond the tiny universes they find themselves stuck inside when they should be doing something important, to something everyone can relate to:  anything.

That’s right, we have embarked on the challenging mission to bring you a weekly(ish) podcast about ANYTHING.  Now, don’t be surprised if we still cover video games and things like video games (we still don’t have hobbies), we’re still going to tie it all back around, we just don’t want to be misleading by saying ‘this thing is about video games, when it isn’t about video games’ (and we KNOW how nerds can be about their specifics).  We were still toying with the subtle irony of having a show called ‘talkin’ video games’ and ignore the subject completely, but we didn’t think our pants were tight enough for that (a dig at the tight pant hipster crowd, you heard me!).

So, here it is, a podcast that starts off about stories, and ends with video games and name calling.  The perfect remedy for a boring afternoon.

we’re toying with format too, so don’t get too hung up on this.  We’re slimming down and streamlining our outfit. Expect more awesome, and less ‘uh’s’ and ‘umms’

Have fun.

Ben & Clark Cast – Ep. 7: The Cheez-it Slut Cometh!

Ben and Clark make a valiant return to the world of podcasting with each other, and may have found themselves becoming ‘cheezit slut sluts’, by welcoming the wonderful Shannon Hatch back on the show to spread her unique brand of sarcasm ( but when she says she loves the show…she really means it…really).  A brief discussion is had about strange fetishes we all share, and once again the topic of conversation turns directly to Clark’s obscene online dating habits.  This time we’re prepared and we’re able to provide so much additional information for all of you freaks out there who are sick of the typical online dating scene that you’d be a huge doofus to skip past this episode!

And what better a time to discuss toe sucking in an episode,than moments before THIS bizarre story surfaces across the internet.  Beejoli Shah, at least one of us on the show feel your pain, and embarrassment…and one of us may be extremely jealous of Mr. Tarantino’s accomplishment.

Downinthewell.com presents: Talkin’ Video Games Ep. 2 – E3 Wrapup

Well folks, here we have it, the follow up episode to our E3 predictions from last week.  Were we disappointed?  I guess you’ll have to listen to find out!

Egon let loose on this episode, and we find out exactly how little Arnold actually cares about hardcore gamers.  If you like metaphorical references to male genitalia, then this episode is going to exceed your monthly quota!  (next time we promise to drink less wine and drambuie so our incoherent conversations will eventually become coherent)

If you want to hear our take on a certain system, line of games, or game developers (or our opinion on star fruit…because we have one) drop us a line at downinthewell@gmail.com or leave a comment below!  Thanks for listening, and we have a lot more planned for the future so if you plan on becoming a regular listener, now is the time to start!
