I have been planning on checking out Florio, I'll download a couple of them and put them into my rotation. I like the WWF history stuff with Stone Cold too, the Shawn Michaels interview was good. I don't think Howard has any podcast but if you were just looking for some of his celebrity interviews a lot of them end up on youtube, especially the recent stuff. I know he is constantly fighting to have them taken down but just as fast as some go down new ones are always popping up. Not looking to turn the thread into a piracy debate, plenty of those out there already, just an FYI.

After a bunch more listens to the Nerdist I get what you're saying. The guests they get lined up are all great but then the actual content is hit or miss. I don't think Hardwick is very good at interviewing at all so it will basically be up to the guest to supply all the entertainment without any prodding. It has been making me appreciate Howard Stern's interviewing skills a lot more. People can say what they want about his type of humor or about his show not being funny anymore but you can't take away his props for his skill to get people to talk about interesting and funny things on his show. I listened to Ross Tucker a lot a couple football seasons ago. Something about it just got old for me though. I have only checked out a couple of Stone Cold's but I thought both of them were pretty funny. Just a redneck guy BS'ing about his life and things that tick him off.

Any Great Obscure Movies? - 2013 Edition (Thanks Mark Vader)
Metal Man replied to Juror#8's topic in Off the Wall Archives
A friend recently suggested Martha Marcy May Marlene to me and I enjoyed it a lot. It is a fictionalized story about cults and the psychological effects from them centering on a girl who escapes from one. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1441326/?ref_=sr_2 Also my father recently caught a movie called Five Fingers on cable and suggested I check it out. Not a very long film but an intriguing story about a terrorist kidnapping that keeps you engaged right to the end trying to make sense of it. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0428541/?ref_=fn_al_tt_8 -
So anyone can see what I put on Facebook?
Metal Man replied to Just Jack's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I used to work for a company that had some law enforcement contracts and that landed me at a few law enforcement technology conferences. I'll never forget a great presentation done by a NYC detective detailing a huge investigation that brought down a large NYC gang. The vast majority of the information they gathered to build their cases came off of various gang member's social media sites. It was like a free database for them to use tracking all of their movements, activities and linking them to all their associates. Some of them even bragged about crimes on their pages. I find dumb criminals pretty entertaining. -
That was awesome. Love the comments for the video too; people arguing about the validity of Star Wars armaments versus Star Trek shield technology. I want to think these people are mostly kidding but part me knows they're not.

I'm with both of you guys on this one too. Have sat through a game in just about every spot possible in RWS over the years and the one time I happened upon front row tickets of the upper deck near mid-field on the visitor's side was easily the best comfort and viewing experience. Now iirc the game was a field goal battle snooze fest against the Texans that the Bills ended up losing... but at least we really enjoyed the seats.

I like to listen to them at work a lot and am always digging for new ones to try out so I will give some of these suggestions a go that I haven't already tried. Recently I have discovered The Nerdist with Chris Hardwick. They mostly talk pop culture stuff leaning towards the more sci-fi or comic book type stuff. However they have had a long run and boast a solid history or a-list celebrity guests so if you check it out make sure to look at all the old ones going back a few years. Just to name a few that I have listened to recently... Mick Foley, Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, John Hamm, Tina Fey, Zach Galifinakis, Stan Lee, JJ Abrhams, Steve Carell.... and a whole lot more. Some of these interviews were kind of older so the context when they talk about recent work is a little off, but still very enjoyable if you are into popular movies and tv shows.

In today's day of CG packed films I believe his stuff still holds up. The original Clash of the Titans is still one of my favorite "monster" flicks of all time.

66 Behind the Scenes photos from Empire Strikes Back
Metal Man replied to Fezmid's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Very cool photos. Thanks for posting. -
The intrigue and cloak and dagger stuff that comes along with all of these conspiracies is kind of fun to think about and interesting to dissect. Especially in today's world of massive and instantaneous information. I don't think anyone can doubt that our government hides things from people, sometimes with good reason and sometimes with bad intentions. However common sense has to dictate that most of the time when a f'd up bombing or f'd up mass murder happens it is just exactly as it appears to everyone watching.... a terrible act carried out by some f'd up people or an f'd up individual. Unless the argument is there are no crazy people in this world. If that is the case then the person making that argument hasn't spent much time on this planet.

Don't any of you guys watch South Park? They had the real truth of it all. The conspiracy theories are in fact themselves a conspiracy perpetrated by the government to trick everyone into thinking the government is this all powerful evil entity that can accomplish heinous covert acts against its own people . The result being that we are all afraid of what they might do next which keeps people in line. It is genius when you think about it. Wake up everyone!

Add me to that list too. I am definitely looking forward to Thursday night but it isn't anywhere near as exciting as it used to be. Basically an entire Saturday spent with your football buddies watching it all unfold while grilling, drinking, and over analyzing everything. The one round prime time on Thursday just doesn't work as well.

Buffalo Bills Boogies of the 90's
Metal Man replied to buffalopdc's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I remember one called Raiders Suck to the tune of Radar Love that I didn't see on that link above, also Leader of the Sack was a big one they missed. I do recall almost all of the others listed though. I used to have a cassette with most of these songs on it that I recorded off the radio from the glory years. Loved Respect. R-E-S-P-E-C-T, Jim Kelly pass to Anrdre Reed. -
Have you ever worn Bills gear to an away game?
Metal Man replied to \GoBillsInDallas/'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Wore my Kelly jersey to a game in San Fran back in 2001. Those were the GW-Rob Johnson days and the Bills lost 35-0 so it was mostly pity from anyone who made any comments. Had Bills gear on in the Meadowlands for the Giants game a couple of seasons ago. Got a lot of verbal crap, stupid comments about Buffalo being in Canada and silly things like that. Didn't seem like that big of a deal but I did get the feeling if Fitz didn't throw that last second int and the Bills ended up kicking a FG for the win things might have gone down differently. A couple sitting in front of us with their little kid all in Bills gear took off after the half from all the verbal junk they were getting. The drunks made some pretty rude comments and along with the swearing this enticed the husband to look back at them a couple of times which only made it worse. I think like most people mentioned in this thread if you just roll with it and not let the talk bother you then you most likely won't have an incident. Though obviously there will always be the exceptional terrible experience that makes all the fans look bad. Sadly I agree that no opposing fan should wear anything in the Ralph no matter how laid back they are. Our fans are brutal. -
2013 Bills Schedule Contest
Metal Man replied to Optometric Insight's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Same here. Was hoping for something in the email I registered with because I can't remember exactly what I picked. -
Definitely. Crazy is hot.

Who Are You Down on More? Sabres or Bills?
Metal Man replied to chaccof's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
2007? I guess that game 1 of the first round I attended against the Bruins in 2010 was my imagination. It has to be the Bills though. The Sabres have had some good to great seasons since 2000 including two somewhat recent trips to the eastern conference finals. The Bills haven't played for the conference championship in almost 20 years. -
If you could change one rule in any sport...
Metal Man replied to SageAgainstTheMachine's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I'm a Yankees fan and more closely follow the AL every year but I would be for the DH rule going too. It makes the strategy for managing in late games a lot more interesting. I know the player's union would never go for it but maybe they could add a designated base runner for if/when pitchers actually end up on base to counter the lost roster position and to help keep the pitchers healthier. -
Day After Super Bowl National Holiday
Metal Man replied to Mark Vader's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Or adjust the schedule so that the superbowl is always on President's Day weekend then a lot of people already would have Monday off. Not saying add another waiting weekend but maybe an extra bye week or something along those lines. EDIT: The MLK day idea is even better. -
Bills extend Toronto Series by 5 more years
Metal Man replied to FluffHead's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Unfortunate. The season ticket holders really get boned by this deal especially now that they took away the preseason games going up there too. -
Loved it too. It was funnier than I expected, the hoods scene had me rolling. Shoot outs were a little over the top but that is a Tarantino trademark.

Is Kate Upton's New SB Mercedes Ad Too Tacky-Sexy?
Metal Man replied to erynthered's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Too sexy? I'm not familiar with such a thing. -
Who do you want to win the Super Bowl?
Metal Man replied to major's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Order I'll be rooting for due to numerous reasons that wouldn't make sense to most: 1. San Francisco 2. Denver 3. Atlanta 4. Houston 5. Minnesota 6. Baltimore 7. Cincy 8. Indy 9. Washington 10. Green Bay 11. Seattle 12. Super Bowl gets cancelled for many a variety of possible reasons. ... 1000. Pats* -
Eric Wood: "Toronto series is a joke"
Metal Man replied to 5 Wide's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I didn't think his comments were trying to say that the reason they lose there is because the atmoshpere sucks. I think it was more along the lines of comparing the atmosphere to the Ralph regardless of how the team is. Jacksonville had a small crowd with the same terrible Bills team and still was 10x as loud. Maybe if the Bills were good the Toronto reaction would be a little bit better but it still wouldn't even be close to the noise in Ralph Wilson Stadium late December with a 10-2 Bills team fighting for a play-off spot. -
Actually the defense had been playing pretty well up to that point. They allowed no points in the first half and had only given up that one TD drive so in a low scoring battle a two FG lead seems like the smart play. I'm not defending Chan. He has made a mountain of monumental idiotic decisions this season. I just don't think that one specific decision was incorrect at the time. It would have been even smarter to protect what could have been a two field goal lead by controlling the ball with lots of touches for Spiller but that is a completely different argument.
