"The Break Up" Commentary (Video)

more to add later, but this is the video we made after the finale about the finale, movie, and show.

Se 1 Ep 11 He Loves Me, he Loves Me Not, He Loves Me, Oops He's Dead

PsychicCrapfest Se1Ep1 He Loves Me by allmr115

This is the dating episode, also maybe the longest title for a Psych episode (up to this point anyway) He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not, He Loves Me, Oops He's Dead.

More to add when time is available. The "Marvin I Love You" is obviously a reference to Doctor Who and the character "Marvin" in this episode played by Colin Cunningham.

Also making an appearance, ex-Mrs. Prince Mayte Garcia.

Se1 Ep6 Weekend Warriors

Okay this is a test. Long story longer, our friends over at soundcloud.com don't exactly like the idea of 29 seconds of a song to be included in any file, regardless of how much other content is in it, to be shared. Now I have still 1 or 2 suspicions on to possibly get around that, but for now, any podcast made with this situation will have to use an alternative means of uploading.

We'll see I guess how good official.fm or some others I've seen such as mypodcast.com etc take to things. Otherwise the mic-to-speaker system may be the only option, or in the most desperate sitations, going back to badongo or another standard upload site that may not have an embed and streaming option.

That all being said, due to filefactory's crash and lack of the ability to stream said files anymore (at least free), all the podcasts shared from last year on that site need to be re-uploaded. Some 40 or 50 I think. Said uploading does take time of course; hence why I haven't gotten around to doing so.

But John and I have been making a lot of retro and Season 5 podcasts over the last 9 months, so included with the old ones, if all goes well in due time, the older ones should be available again soon, and the new/newer older/retro podcasts as well.

I suppose if not before, a goal would be by the Season 6 premiere which we still do not know when it will be. My guess is October. At Comic-Con maybe we'll find out.

More to add soon (hopefully!).

Oh, and as far as this episode goes, it is the Civil War re-enactment one/Captain Crunch. 6th episode of the show. And the ending of the podcast was memorable to say the least :p

Se2Ep10 Gus's Dad May Have Killed an Old Guy

PsychicCrapfest Se2Ep10 GusDad1 by allmr111

So, this is the 1st X-Mas episode from Season 2. This is obviously being made/talked about long after it aired back in December 2007. This is the X-Mas episode with Ernie Hudson of course.

Beyond the episode, the usual nonsense of us talking about what's going on now, February 4th/5th 2011, etc is included. Of course with that, I explained what's been going on with the Psychic Crapfest and John goes into the Comcast/NBC merger news and potential impact. And the fact Comcast wanted $1 to watch the older X-Mas episodes ON DEMAND back in December.

But as far as the state of the psychic crapfest right now. We obviously have 7 or 8 episodes to catch-up on from back in November and December. The microphone/software issues, are not present to what I can tell. Although, I'm not sure they are in true 2-channel stereo still. But beggars can't be picky, right? ;p

And as far as the previously recorded podcasts via fileserve.com? fileserve I guess rebooted their site and removed/disabled the streaming function (at least for free), so I don't anticipate that being the upload site of choice. Instead, soundcloud is the go-to site of choice for now. Even with it's 2-hour limitation of space for free accounts. However, there are ways around that I believe, hehe.

So, anticipate, assuming Minnesota's winter is mostly blizzard-free for the next 2-months, a slew of new entries and podcasts, along with a lot of new soundcloud links on the master list (and posted in said entries, which probably will be bumped when they are available).

Promo for Extradition II: The Actual Extradition Part

this looks good, but I still wonder if their will be a Princess Bride or The Crush reference.

This may be one of a number of isolated "highlights" (or lowlights :p) from our Podcast. And the podcast it comes from the entry posted last year here, which is for the
Season 4, episode 9 "Shawn Takes a Shot in the Dark" aka "Longmore Man."

mostly John's meltdown of NBC's lack of good tv shows (while USA Network has so many).

Se 5 Ep 8 Shawn 2.0

Here's the 1st Nestor Carbonell (Lost, The Tick) episode. And of course features Curt Smith from Tears For Fears playing a version of himself, along with his synth-pop/hop version of the Psych Theme.

This was a few weeks ago, so the conversation obviously has a timely perspective. I waited until I could capture some of those clips at the beginning. I haven't re-listened to the entire thing, but I recall much of the conversation ends up about the rest of Season 5 (or 5.5) along with some of the recent sound issues of course. And Curt Smith's lack of providing a link to his version of theme (nor access to his website without a certain piece of software). Mainly this one ended up being a bit longer than some other episodes of late.

Also two references that I note, but maybe nobody else caught: Porcupine Tree and Ghost World. And maybe at somepoint, Tears For Fears/Spock's Beard/Prog Rock (like Porcupine Tree) Drummer Nick D'Virgilio.

The Scene in the cafe at the beginning alluding to the scene 23 seconds in here.




PsychicCrapfest Se5 Ep8 Shawn 2 by allmr111

Se5 Ep 9 "One Maybe Two Ways Out"

Well this is is the the most recent episode of Psych, the Season 5 Summer/5.0/Half-Season Finale. This guest-starred Franka Potente from Run Lola Run and the Bourne franchise. Along with Jon Gries (Lost, Real Genius, Napoleon Dynamite) and C Thomas Howell (Soul Man, The Outsiders), and Nestor Carbonell (Lost, The Tick) again.

One note that I believe I discovered that we didn't realize when we recorded this. The "Barry" reference I think is referring to The Flash character Barry. I suppose I haven't seen the Video commentary yet on this episode, but it wouldn't surprise me if that was the reference. Having listened to the Pinapple Radio podcast about this episode as well, they mentioned looking for what or who Barry is, and they came up puzzled as well. Don't be surprised to find out it is The Flash on the Season 5 DVDs and other places.



There is frequent clipping from John's microphone. The reason being, in interest to avoid hearing the breathing, I told him either to try turning it off when he wasn't speaking or move it away. He turned it off. I obviously didn't realize it was making this sound when we were recording. AND I TRIED TO EDIT OUT EVERY SINGLE INSTANCE OF IT. But unfortunately, it ended up not removing all clipping and cutting a lot various words and phrases I and John said, that it came out sounding MUCH WORSE. Obviously, that is something that we can avoid again, but given the lack of desire to take the time to talk about and edit another file for this episode, this will have to do. I suppose it's still not as bad as the breathing, and it can be heard a bit like a radio show when there is severe weather. There's often those kinds of static clipping on the air, like on this recording.

So, playing a bit of catchup here, this is the noteworthy episode with Shawn and Gus as older detectives, or Proto-Shawn y Gus? Bill DeVane and Carl Weathers. Now that at some level, the ability to capture sound clips from videos is viable, we are back to the sound to fit the theme of the episode. This one with The Beatles and Ricky Nelson. Although now thinking about it, the Rocky Theme would have also fit, but so be it. Maybe another time..perhaps Psych will do a Boxing-themed episode at some point.

edit: given this is using the cheap built-in soundcard (and with a miniplug splitter into it's microphone jack), and the fact the wave files coming through that way seem to be microscopic, I have to Boost the Gain with Audacity to 100%, and as a result, there appears to be a fair amount of static. Apologies again (broken record).

The hope/plan is to look into a "Boom Microphone" rather soon. Either that, being able to fix the Latency problem (that is/was causing the Dalek/Davors feedback) with the Pre-Amp + this PC with a "DPC Latency Checker" or using some other piece of software. Because hearing static like that, like the breathing, just ain't gonna cut-it.

Se4 Ep16 "Mr. Yin Presents"

This is the 2nd part/episode of the Yang/Yin trilogy that is very Hitchcockian themed. One of if not the most impressive episodes visually among other things. So we had a fair amount to say about it of course. It also saw apparently the demise of Mary along with the return of course of Ally Sheedy and Rachel Leigh Cook. RLC who knows if this is her last episode given Shawn and Abigail are broken up, but if so, it was a memorable way to go out.

I suppose in a few months when the final episode/part of the trilogy is shown in the 5th Season finale, it might be worth putting all 3 of these podcasts together. Or maybe do 1 extensive podcast in the offseason about the whole trilogy story if it warrants it.

The Jeri Ryan Shark episode. Michael Hogan, whose been on a lot of shows ever since Battlestar Galactica (2003) finished, also was on this one.

This is the virus episode with Judd Nelson. And the writers milked the corn nuts reference. John as you can tell, is less than impressed with the corn nuts and Judd Nelson's work on this. It's unfortunate since going-in, it looked rather cool to notice Judd Nelson showing up, and the show adding to their brat-pack alumni of guest-stars.

Se4 Ep11 "Thrill Seekers and Hell Raisers"

Go To FileFactory.com

This is the Extreme Sports episode where Gus introduces his girlfriend to Shawn. Of course since this, we haven't heard a word about Sarah Shahi's character at all, lol. And in this past week's episode (Shawn 2.0) Gus mentions he's dating someone new, but I'd assume it wasn't her.

Like Gary Cole and Cybil Shepherd, the Sarah Shahi's absence remains a mystery to us fans. At least in Shawn 2.0 they brought back Gina (from Shawn Takes a Shot in the Dark) so they are getting better with bringing some characters/actors back.

-This episode as I mentioned, almost reminded of Dennis Hopper/Crispin Glover/Keanu Reeveas late 80's film The Rivers Edge
-This episode could have been titled "Murder With Stu"

This podcast was recorded on Easter Sunday April 7th, 2010. And I thought it was a double with the Ray Wise episode that originally aired before it. But alas, not the case having now relistened to it. It was kind of a short one as I recall we didn't exactly have a ton of time and/or we may have recorded 1 or 2 others that afternoon, so it's truncated at this point. But due to another out-of-balance and John's nasal breathing on the mic, it's probably for the best.

James + Maggie = Kevin Pollak Show

Kevin Pollak's Chat Show Homepage
Kevin Pollak's Chat Show Youtube Page
KPChatShow on twitter

I'm not sure if this has been talked about a lot, namely during the downtime between Season 4 and the current 5th Season, but I just stumbled upon this for the 1st time tonight.

It's a web talk show Kevin Pollak does, live on Sundays I guess. And it also includes the hilarious Samm Levine (Freaks and Geeks).

Shules or whatever you want to call them, appeared back in April sometime. It's a rather nice conversation with both James and Maggie's background. And it's also mentioned how Kevin and Samm may find their way onto an episode of Psych, which would be awesome.

James and Maggie appear about 18 minutes into the show.



based on some of the other guests, I probably will have to go back to Kevin Pollak's youtube page and watch some of the others, even as long as they are. Neil Patrick-Harris, LeVar Burton and some others. And Bryan Cranston and Jason Alexander are scheduled in the coming weeks/months. I suppose with Kevin Pollak and Samm Levine together, the one obvious guest that would be perfect would be William Shatner. Perhaps that will happen, and/or Kevin Pollak will show up on Shatner's talk show Raw Nerve on the Biography channel as well. (Kevin Pollak and Samm Levine are noted at doing William Shatner impersonations. Jason Alexander as well actually).

I suppose some words about this appearance may come in one of our future podcasts as well.

Se 3 Ep 9 "Christmas Joy"

well lookee here what I found, lol. I listened to this just a little bit ago again, and now remember some parts of it. Other parts, not so much. There is some funny discussion about a Monk/Psych crossover and Billy Cosby at least. And of course the whole Keith David v Ernie Hudson thing.

I should go back watch this, but I now remember a lot of why I was more underwhelmed by this episode compared to the 1st one the year before. It'll be interesting to see the Season 5 It's a Wonderful Life-based one in a few months to see how it compares.

But this leaves just 1 episode/podcast missing from Season 3. And I spent about 90 minutes trying to find the data file that went with the 13th Episode "On Any Given Friday Night" and it's very likely a goner. My co-host seems almost desperate to get me to continue to hunt for it in every possible folder or renamed part of the 4 hard drives I had when it may have been lost. The Audacity file exists, but an audacity file as I came to learn, does nothing unless the Data File folder that is typically about 500MB also exists and in the exact same place. John unfortunately, may not be able to appreciate this fact like myself. But so be it, a re-podcast should happen for it if need be, perhaps with comments about the COMMENTARIES on the Season 3 DVD of the episode. That is, assuming there is a commentary for that episode.

This is of course the Season 3(.5) finale. Some odd edits as now seeing the original Audacity file, we had some problems with the signals going out and more gaps. I did my best to edit out and segue some of the different parts of this recording. John had 1 or 2 good rants in this one as well. Of course we kind of summed up the season as well at the end. It's funny how Cybil Shepherd has not come back since this episode I don't believe, nor has their been an explanation about what John's beef is/was about her back story, why she was gone, etc. And we're nearly 1.5 seasons later. Maybe by the end of this current season (5 or 5.5) we'll get more continuity or gap filling. But who knows. It may take until the end of the show before that stuff is told in detail.

This is the Jonathan Silverman liar episode. At this late/early hour, I probably should revisit this podcast again. There may be a gap or 2, as a lot of those audacity files ended up having gaps that I never got around to saving and often required editing them out with the older version of Audacity. Either that, or we just ended up having long pauses back then, lol. Apologies.

Se 3 Ep 15 Tuesday the 17th

Go To FileFactory.com

This is the Friday the 13th/April Fool's Day/Slasher movie spoof. John didn't get as much out of this episode as I did, but since he's not a fan of Slasher movies, it made sense. I have not seen the bloopers for this one since I don't own the Season 3 dvds (but they are probably online actually. Youtube?).

This also is the episode where we meet Lassiter's Ex played by Justine Bateman.
note about this, this was one of a few recordings made that never got converted. Why?, my best guess is this was around the time I was a bit occupied by romantic entanglements among other things :p. But it's amazing how easily the work required to convert files, label them, etc and maybe worry a little about memory and HARD DRIVE SPACE can slip one's mind, without motivation.

I also should add, we were doing the podcast at this point, but really, it seemed kind of questionable why. And I suppose I might say the same now, because of the lack of response we had back then from the podcasts that were available, and even now still. But I suppose with a bit more motivation and effort, it's become somewhat past the point of no return. If nobody ever says 1 thing to us about this podcast, just saving for our own dictation (which I happen to feel blogging can and often is supposed to be about anyway), and the long term availability. Even if it 5 or 15 years from now. Someone may find these and have reason to listen to them.
