Topic: Episode 100: Five Hundred Ninety-Nine U.S. Hours

[StrikerObi]

We celebrate our 100th outing by recording an episode longer than the previous 99 shows combined.  Starring: Old friends, your emails, and funny memories!

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/rfn/16000/episode-100-five-hundred-ninety-nine-us-hours

Caution: Extreme Length.  Listener discretion is advised.

Can you handle three and a half hours of RFN ecstasy?  I think you can. (Don't be afraid to listen in two or three chunks!  That's how it was recorded.)  Our giant anniversary show brings together the new crew, the old crew, the pirates, and highlights from the last two years.

Greg, Lindy, James, and Jonny start the show with New Business and a heaping ton of listener mail.  Then, you'll get a dose of the old gang as Karl, Mike, Evan, and Jonny (who was a semi-regular before becoming host) talk about what they are playing and reminisce on the origins and evolution of the podcast.

Unfortunately, Stan couldn't join us, but he and Karl did spend last weekend recording a set of skits in which Sweet Pete and his first mate, Blue Balls, travel through time to visit three different eras of Radio Free Nintendo.

Finally, the show swings back to the current lineup for closing comments and a lead-in to the long-awaited highlight reel.  Relive the funniest moments from nearly two years of talking out of our asses!

Thanks to our special guests: Mike Sklens, Evan Burchfield, Karl Castaneda, and Stan Ferguson.  We also want to thank all of our listeners for sticking with us for this long and for enduring this indulgent 100th episode.  Please let us know what you think of it -- either via email or a post in Talkback!

Fair warning, the episode is long so the file is HUGE

YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Awesomo Mucho Grande!

About damn time . It's amazing that this is only the 6th or 7th episode since I started listening to the show, and in that short amount of time I went from ignoring the podcast to going through withdrawl symptoms for the last couple days before the next one. I know I'll love this one, and here's to another 100!

[Crimm]

The digest bit at the end I had started recording prefaces for, but it was decided to do them straight.  If anybody wants to know the origin of a clip just ask.  I'll try to help.

Congratulations on the hundredth episode.  I've been listening to this all in one sitting.  Only three minutes left!

Observations:
The best thing about the new crew is not having to hear about college football every week.
Jonny should have a spin-off podcast about Magic: The Gathering and also be drunk every time.
It's true; Cheese Nips suck.

I think there were probably some things I was going to comment about from earlier in the podcast, but that was so long ago that I've forgotten.

I can't wait to listen to this. I was hoping Stan and Karl would be back.
Avenue Q was right, fantasies DO come true!

I haven't played Smash in over a month as well, nice to know I'm not the only one not obsessed w/ it.  Been playing Mario Kart and Geometry Wars instead.

I'd LOVE to be obsessed with Brawl. But I have no fucking friends that want to play anything but 360 and PS3! It SUCKS.

Not the most pressing misconception to clear up but: I do not own a bird. We just so happen to record sufficiently close to dawn that you can hear the birds outside my window starting to chirp from where I record. Sorry James, not much I can do about that I'm afraid.

[Crimm]

I'm more upset that the bird I had grown to love may not actually be a single bird.

[Jonnyboy117]

Respect -1 for Greg.

[NWR_insanolord]

I never knew that Evan talks almost exactly like Conan O'Brien.

I wanted to tell Crimm that I bought Pop, I'm having a lot of fun with it, and I'm very glad I bought it.

I had some other comments, but I just listened to the entire thing in one marathon session (not what I intended to do, but I never felt like turning it off) and I think I may need a psychiatric evaluation, so I forgot most of them.

[ShyGuy]

Evan talks like Quentin Tarantino

[TheYoungerPlumber]

Too big. I'm saving half for another day. And with all respect, new cast > old cast.

[NWR_insanolord]

One great thing this episode did is get me to buy an album by Jason Ricci and New Blood, something I've been toying around with for a while but this pushed me over the edge. I'm only 4 songs in but I'm loving it so far.

[DAaaMan64]

This may have also sold me Lords of Thunder, Jason Ricci's work is in my future too.

[Pale]

I like the way in Evan's talk about meeting Bloodworth, I was just the "short guy in the bucket hat" even though I'm 6'2"...

Thanks for mentioning me Evan!  Guess I was forgettable!

[Pale]

Man... roasting Windy like CRAZY! =P

Be nicer guys. =P

[DAaaMan64]

I have gripes with some of the comments made in the podcast. I'd so talk about them too, BUT thats all I remember is that I had gripes and I sure as hell ain't seeking them out again after 3 hours already.

[GoldenPhoenix]

Thanks for mentioning me Evan!  Guess I was forgettable!

I didn't forget you even after you call me names.

[Crimm]

I love this show, but I am so looking forward to a week off.

I love this show, but I am so looking forward to a week off.

Oh man, me too.  Tee hee.
