What's the only pen trick Jessica knows how to do?

[dren]

Looooved it! I can't wait for next week's ep. I thought the skit in the end was hilarious -- The dialog/script was correct 100% lol.. amazing.

[travislopes]

I don't know why, but there are two segments of the show I haven't been really able to "get into": The Remix and The Fringe.

[dom]

Another great show.

Can we have a Build Your Own Dr Kiki segment next time though? I already have a microscope.

[Freznobob]

Hey Heather,

Archery, Fencing, swinging on ropes?.... Is trick horseback riding next? Or maybe the steeplechase! That would be awesome.

For a while, before MP3 players got big, I was making Mixed CDs as a replacement for mixed tapes.

Now I rarely, if ever, listen to music while I drive (which was the main place I listened to music).

Although, I do listen to music at home.

Also, I end up not sharing my music with anyone, since my collection is quite stagnant.

I've never heard Tycho pronounced that way. It was always "Tie-co" in the toy commercials when I was a kid. Plus Tycho Brahe on Penny arcade is always pronounced that way.

Here's one of my favorite comics featuring him. http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/04/10/

Great show! More Heather and Sarah!

[renehasp]

We so got mooned during Dr. Kiki's demo... Ughhh I just hope that was a chick and not DUDE. :)

[djmadscribbler]

I'm really enjoying this show but I have one issue - where's the Nerd Bird? There hasn't been a segment with Neha since the snowboarding in Ep. 3. There are supposed to be five of you... isn't there?

[PRAGMA]

Congrats on another good ep.

What no Neha?

Oh and I like Zolfaghari's sense of humor! (she's also kinda cute btw), alas I have no use for a compact, but still enjoyed the dry humor.

Hmm I am disappointed that Kiki didn't cover the thin lens equation or ray tracing. Also how about drawing the diagram on the chalkboard while filming.

Apparently a simple playlist is not enough for people as they feel the need to regress to some ancestral concept like a mix tape.

They forgot to put Trixie in the credits, I do like your new name Sarah.

[Mr. Underachiever]

Oh and I like Zolfaghari's sense of humor!

They need to give her a show, or at least put her on a show. She has an improv background--utilize that! Especially since I doubt we'll be seeing Loribelle on Internet Superstar again anytime soon (though I haven't seen this week's ep yet, so I don't know if she's in it or not).

[Bani-Banan]

Awesome episode. The last scetch was kewl.

One concern though. The video was like 0.5sec delayed when Dr.Kikis thing was on. Haven't tried the other formats out since I only watch "on site".

[Lindsay]

I agree. I was surprised that Neha wasn't on the show.

[Maynza]

Is it just me or do the girls seem a little bubbly and airheaded?

I was trying to comprehend what they were talking about after the hadron collider segment but it just didn't make sense. It's a fun show with some interesting info, but I just don't think it's my cup of tea.

I'd definitely say Jessica is. Sarah can be at times.

[snipernb]

Hey Sarah,

I just wanted to let you know that I've just listened to your MuxTape (I'm following you on Twitter...Which sounds really stalkerish now that I think about it)...Anyways, interesting music. Not all of it was my style but I found it highly listenable. Score another good tip from the folks at PopSiren!

[donoram]

The "bubbly" aspect you guys are talking about comes across to me as very un-realistic dialogue. It sounds heavily scripted most times except where Sarah or Jessica make a joke. Those are the most organic and interesting moments.

Don't get me wrong, I am definitely loving the show and subscribed on day one. I just wish that it would feel as organic as the rest of the Rev3 lineup.

And I'm also throwing in with the "where's the nerd bird" camp.

[robdob]

Wow,
I thought I was the only one who ever saw that movie!!!!

I do remember there were some bad Ice Pirates chasing the main pirates and they flew into some sort of radiation field which made time speed up really fast. Everybody was moving at super fast speed while fighting. Then everybody got really old within a matter of minutes. Right when the main "good" pirate was about to be defeated, his previously unborn son was born, grew up, then came to his rescue. It was a very silly movie. I also remember something about "space herpes" in the movie.

I also loved your reference to "The Princess Bride". That was one of my favorite movies!

You guys are great! Keep up the good work.

P.S.

[robdob]

Oh, I almost forgot.

Regarding 'Muxtape', you should also check out boomshuffle.com. It's kind of nice. It's not exactly like 'Muxtape', but you should give it a try.

Yeah I also thought that. Was kinda surprised that Trixie had seen Ice Pirates. But way more surprised that she had it in RAM. I saw that movie quite a while ago, one of those movies that I have to watch to fulfill my knowledge of really bad movies, that are fun to watch.

As for The Princess Bride, I think anyone born in the 80's has seen it. Not a bad movie but far from my favorites.

Robert Urich (I have it on DVD)...I loved the movie. I think the time thing was more of a Speed of Light issue (since, and a bit of a spoiler for those that haven't watched it so move on, the other craft was slightly off course at the end of the sequence.)

I may have to pull the DVD out this weekend.


Jeopardy had a question that referenced The Princess Bride this week, btw...regarding the Inconceivable quote.

Glad to hear that you'll be back, and hopefully by "very soon" you mean "next episode"

[jh32488]

i got a thank you for recommending a weird band

im james they mentioned at the end

they didnt say who it was but i wanted everyone to hear about it

i dont know if they will be on the next show but the band is man man

[Enrique_Napa]

I like playlist.com (aka. project playlist) better than mixwit. I do see where Muxtape would come in very handy.
