Jeremy and Trip used to col­lab­o­rate on short films early in the 21st Cen­tury, but that’s been pretty hard to do since Trip moved from Kansas City to Port­land, OR six years ago. Nev­er­the­less, Jeremy and Trip have been want­ing to do some­thing cre­ative together again, and fig­ured, “Pod­cast. Why the hell not.” So, on the after­noon of New Year’s Eve, the two fel­lows sat down for an hour long Skype ses­sion. The edited result is what you hear today. Think of this as a pilot for a series that’s look­ing to get picked up. The pro­duc­tion is a lit­tle rough. The “char­ac­ters” aren’t fully real­ized. The show has yet to find its voice. But that’s OK. We’ll get there. Join us as we embark on a fas­ci­nat­ing voy­age together. **In This Episode:** Trip’s cameo in Twi­light, Huge Net­flix queues, Port­land vs. Kansas City, YouTube idiocy.

Trip says that every­one should own a [Star Wars Force Trainer](http://unclemilton.com/starwarsscience/). Jeremy tends to agree. There’s a good 2 minute seg­ment where you’ll just need to use your imagination. **In This Episode:** [Creed Shreds](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipy58SaIRhs), [Aci­phex](http://aciphex.com), the Star Wars Force Trainer, the Fort Knox Gold Con­spir­acy, com­ments on CNN, news via Twitter.

There’s really no rea­son that Jeremy and Trip can think of for you to take a trip to the Den­ver Inter­na­tional Air­port. That place just seems like it’s pure evil. **In this episode:** Trip’s cameo on TNT’s Lever­age, pimp­ing the show for max­i­mum social media impact, Tay Zonday’s crazy recluse ten­den­cies, social media purg­ing, the Pacific North­west Tree Octo­pus, wel­come to Den­ver, CO: HOME OF THE APOCALYPSE, being “that guy” at the gui­tar store, Calls From Unknown Peo­ple \#1.

Ever the oppor­tunists, Jeremy and Trip decide to hop on the [iPad](http://apple.com/ipad) hype band­wagon and do a spe­cial episode that deals solely with last week’s iPad announce­ment. Even with Jeremy tak­ing his nor­mal role as an Apple diehard and Trip hold­ing his ground as a PC (even though he said that PCs are like old peo­ple), a few sur­pris­ing things are dis­cov­ered about every­one involved. **In this episode:** Jeremy and Trip talk about the iPad, Trip’s PC pukes up the [BSOD](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bsod) mid-sentence, two grown men get way too excited about a prod­uct that hasn’t even hit the shelves.

Trip con­tin­ues to have com­puter prob­lems. Jeremy tries to cap­i­tal­ize on this fact in order to gain lis­ten­er­ship at the expense of Trip’s bit­ter tears. Hilar­ity ensues. **In this episode:** Lis­ten­ing to Pan­dora instead of an MP3 col­lec­tion, Trip runs down the con­tents of his lost 1TB hard drive, Jeremy sug­gests “Ter­abytes For Trip,” a telethon designed to raise funds to revive Trip’s data (or the inner city youth cen­ter), [Baby Jacket Dance](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Msd24P2FtE8), phone com­ments that aren’t really com­ments at all, show sug­ges­tions from the [Face­book fan page](http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Yet-To-Be-Named-Podcast/251948986181), a pro­mo­tion for the day that we get 100 iTunes subscribers. Seri­ously though, if any­one knows how to res­cue hard drive data and wants to do some­thing decent, give us a call or send us a mes­sage. Trip would appre­ci­ate it.

We were incred­i­bly lucky to have Pat Piper from [Lazy Eye The­atre](http://lazyeyetheatre.blogspot.com) drop in and talk Oscars 2010 with us. Of course, we got a lit­tle off sub­ject, but had some great film con­ver­sa­tion come out of it. Make no mis­take about it though, this was def­i­nitely Trip and Piper’s episode. That’s what Jeremy gets for not watch­ing any of the movies up for Oscars this year. **In This Episode:** Piper drops in, Oscar 2010 talk, pre­dic­tions and/or fan­tasies, Blu-Ray movies, *Where The Wild Things Are*, how [*The Wiz­ard Of Speed And Time*](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wizard_of_Speed_and_Time) rules ass, Kather­ine Bigelow, soul-sucking to com­plete screenplays.

Some­times you’ve gotta throw away a few rot­ten apples before you can make a pie, and pod­casts are kinda like that. You’ve got to know your lim­i­ta­tions. You’ve got to feel out your audi­ence. And, every once in a while you just have got to Vase­line up a melon hole before you can fuck it. **In This Episode:** Why YouTube sucks and the secret where­abouts of Google’s head­quar­ters, iPad sight­ings after the big “buy me” week­end, Cory Doc­torow and his insis­tence on tin­ker­ing, cow-induced RAM destruc­tion, nat­u­rally sat­is­fied inno­va­tion, Nean­derthal vocal chords.

Slightly glitchy audio creeps in as we’re vis­ited by the YET TO BE NAMED PODCAST legal advi­sor, Robin. Audio prob­lems or not, this is one of the bet­ter ones so far, folks. **In this episode:** The iPhone 4G/Gizmodo drama and the pseudo-legal analy­sis that sur­rounds it, cof­fee ene­mas, colon cleans­ing, Travis The Home­wreckin’ Alco­holic, bad dri­ving douchebags in Orgeon, mosquitos.

A cou­ple of weeks ago, Jeremy and Trip sat down and did an incred­i­bly riv­et­ing ses­sion over the release of *[Red Dead Redemp­tion](http://www.rockstargames.com/reddeadredemption/)* and the tech­nol­ogy of immer­sive, infi­nite choice/pathway gam­ing and prob­a­bly some other stuff that would totally knock your socks right off. Then Jeremy took a week’s vaca­tion. When he returned, he had no idea what he did with the source files for the episode. It was as if they van­ished from the face of the Earth. Instead, please enjoy Trip singing a karaoke ren­di­tion of [Edwyn Collins’](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwyn_Collins) *A Girl Like You*.

What bet­ter way to punc­tu­ate an episode deal­ing with society’s reliance on tech­nol­ogy than with a bar­rage of com­puter crashes that are a resid­ual result of Trip’s com­puter prob­lems that he had in [Unti­tled Episode 5](http://theyettobenamedpodcast.com/2010/02/untitled-episode-5/)? None. None bet­ter way, really. **In this episode:** A dis­cus­sion about tech­nol­ogy brought on by an [arti­cle](http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/10_24/b4182000596077.htm?chan=rss_topDiscussed_ssi_5) the guys read about [Nicholas Carr](http://www.roughtype.com/index.php)‘s [new book](http://www.amazon.com/Shallows-What-Internet-Doing-Brains/dp/0393072223), mul­ti­ple com­puter crashes, Trip inces­santly types try­ing to Google ways to keep his com­puter from crash­ing again, Jeremy gets all [Mer­lin Mann](http://merlinmann.com)–ish about the sub­ject at hand, tools vs. nov­el­ties, Trip\$ha.
