Wouldn't let me post yesterday, so here's a double one.

Craft Brew Radio - Beer Geek Roundtable 1 - This is like a 3 hours how about beer and beer geeks.  James Spencer of Basic Brewing Radio is there for half a second then he was gone, but he comes back a half hour later.  I really liked when they talked about the different laws about beer and alcohol in states and countries.  Also, I liked when they talk about how to raise a kid with respect to beer and alcohol.  Also some really good talk of Craft vs. Macro brews.  The show was long but very interesting and if you're into beer, you should give it a listen.

Craft Beer Radio - Episode 48 - This time they're sampling IPAs.  I love IPAs, because I love hops.  I just tasted my first home-brewed IPA last night and it wasn't too bad.  A bit fruity because it's still young and because it was too hot here when I brewed it, but still very drinkable.  They had a bit too much during the show, but that makes it a bit funnier.

The Daily Show - 8/8 - Show starts off with some talk of the BP oil pipeline which broke because they didn't inspect it.  Apparently BP can't afford to inspect it, they only made 7 billion dollars last quarter.  And baby seals are used to fix the pipeline.  The Daily Show then puts up a clip show of Rumsfield talking about how easy the Iraq war will be after telling Hillary that he never did so.  Yay! Back in Black with Lewis Black.  Brian Williams is the special guest.

The Colbert Report - 8/8 - Bush closes the press room (renovations apparently.)  And Stephen removes his invitation to Joe Lieberman.  The Word is "Ten-Hut" where Stephen claims that war veterans shouldn't be allowed to speak out against the war, they should stand behind the President.  An overly long cartoon that Stephen "created."  The special guest was a guy who wrote a book about the "40 Million Dollar Slave" about black athletes.  One major difference, any black athlete can decide to quite his sport, no one is forcing him to play.

Command-N - Start off with some WWDC talk about Leopard, the new OSX from Apple.  Google and MySpace are teaming up and apparently MySpace is going to use Google for searching.  Who cares? :)  A few alternatives of Office apps with Open Source.  Ehh. 

Basic Brewing Radio - The last intervriew from the NHC.  There is an interview with Matt Brynildson and John Mallet about Dry Hopping and First Wort Hopping.  I like hops, and I think I might try to dry-hop one of my next beers.

The Daily Show - 8/9 - A guy on Fox News holds up a sign in the background that says Hannity sucks ass.  It was pretty funny.  A lot of talk about Lieberman and his losing the primary and Samantha Bee reports about it.  Also a correspondant from the Middle East.  A guy from the Guinness Book of World Records, which is an interesting book.

I also watched the Colbert Report from 8/9 but it was background noise and I forgot about it already.  I'm sure it was good, though, he usually is.

Flavor of Love 2 - Episode 1 - Ummmm, so, yeah, this is, as Entertainment Weekly puts it, a ghetto-fabulous The Bachalor ripoff.  Yeah, it's pretty terrible but my RSS reader is now set to download it (think DVR but over the internet and of very questionable legality) and I'll probably watch them all.  And "Somethin" shat on the floor.  Yeah, that was nasty.

WWdN: In Exile: the hum of the clock is a far away place Wow, this is on of Wheaton's best posts in a while. I actually laughed out loud.
