Every time we try to do a low-key short show, we seem to find weird (and non-sequitur) reserves of energy. It’s the usual three man love fest (wait) this week as Anthony Gallegos, Tyler Barber and I (Arthur Gies) talk about how weird it is for us to love a golf game, leaks in gaming media (of which we are apparently not immune!), and end with letters. That ask about poop. May the Goddess of the universe exchange twitter followers to bestow a fatter penis.
This week’s music, in order of appearance:
William Elliott Whitmore – Ashes to Dust – Diggin’ My Grave
Lavender Diamond – Imagine Our Love – Oh No
Ratatat – Ratatat – Seventeen Years

Thanks!
lol Ever Since your Tweet Arthur about Little Boots, I have been awakened to her music. That thing she use’s the Tenori-on is pretty cool. Nice to see an actual artist making music in a genre that is full of talentless people.
Just thought I’d say something since you have her in this week’s music.
For anyone who read this comment and didn’t understand quite what he was talking about, there are two different versions of the podcast. The first run was more raw, the second version is edited quite a bit with an extra 4 minutes or so tacked on with Anthony, Aurthur and Tyler kind of explaining why the new version is up and has different music (which is the music listed in this updated article).
For anyone dying (I know I was) to know the songs of the raw version of this podcast, here they are (in order of appearance, for those who listened to the raw version).
- All That Remains : Not Alone
- Little Boots : Meddle
- Turbonegro : Death From Above
Woods 10 does kick arse…I’m not a big sports guy but I did enjoy this game.
Sweet I can’t wait to listen to this, I would tonight but it might not be a good idea with exams tomorrow.
Listening to the Tiger Woods 10 talk, it seems some things are missing on the wii version. The only example I can recall is the training part where when you screw up on a hole, you can go back and do a training challenge or whatever. You could do this in Tiger woods 08 I know fore sure. Seems weird that it isn’t in the new version… or am I just missing it somehow?
Oh, christ. The kids table is alive and well!
I always hear of you reading the comments on the show, and i like a bit of attention sometimes so – I have listened to this show since the 1up kickoff, i knew nothing of EGM, 1Up or “aat” (the arthur anthony tyler manlove triplet of greatness) And i have now watched the podcast evolve from a get together of reminiscing to a fully fledged man date. I hope you continue on with it and dont quit like the others, Im not saying they quit without reason but im glad they left when they left as i could quite happily listen to anthonys voice on his own for the rest of my life.. Yes, im in love with anthonys voice.
I think you should add “Jamie likes” to the start of some sentences so they dont make sense =)
Good luck with the twitching over my grammar. and just to make it worse im going to put a semi colon right here instead of a full stop just for arthur;
In my humble opinion, Golf isn’t exciting enough to play as a game.
LOL @ Tyler
MISTA SELECTA! REWIND THAt BEAT!

Argh! What did you leak Anthony! I must know…
I think it’s pretty obvious that Anthony was talking about !! What a tease
Tyler shitting his pants… Most fascinating story ever…
About halfway through the podcast, and I’ve found myself placing Woods ’10 for Wii on my wishlist. I have never considered buying a sports game, but your discussion of the game took me back to a nostalgic time where I became obsessed with Golf (with Mario) for the original Game Boy. While caught up in my vulnerable state of nostalgic glow, Tyler dropped the disc golf bomb. Sold!
While the “games media” doesn’t seem to like Prototype very much, I enjoyed it quite a bit. Yes, it’s flawed in some areas. The story is iffy (like many comics and games), some of the game mechanics at times frustrate, etc, but overall I thought it was very fun mayhem with fast and fun movement. I even didn’t mind that long boss fight in the middle.
I don’t think I have played through a large open world game this fast before, which speaks to how it grabbed my attention.
I agree. The fact that I can rampage across the city, throwing people, kicking helicopters, and elbow-dropping tanks more than makes up for the flaws. Without a moral choice system clogging up the works, I can do whatever I want without worrying about it. And while Arthur may have scoffed at the “Web of Intrigue,” it’s one of my favorite parts. I’m a fan of the X-Files-type conspiracy, and the fact that I have to go out and find it myself instead of having it spoon-fed to me makes it more interesting.
I waking up and finding new Rebel FM to listen to.
Yay for new rebel FM’s! Thanks guys.
I would also like to mention, for all you Robert Ashley lovers out there, he is featured regularly on the bitmob podcast (bitmob.com) with dan “shoe” hsu and a few other enthusiast journalists you’ll know. It’s a great podcast even if it does sound like they record it in a bathroom.
Loving the new Rebel FM! and thanks for being brutally honest about Prototype! I’m still going to play it though to see if its a buy or if i should just go and buy infamous.
I’m thinking American Apparel should sponsor your fucking show! “Read our reviews and get rid of the mushroom draws…visting American Apparel” PPPPOOOOOOODDDDDCCCCCAAAASSSSSSSSTTTTTT END OF THE WORLD.
That’s one of my favorite Ratatat songs. I like their style. Good choice on that one, guys.
Loved the Anne Frank reference. It’s doubly funny because Arthur sounds just like Kevin Smith.
The discussion on sharding of pants was amazing. Reminded me a lot of the old GFW discussions, the one regarding “Yaddle milk” stands out as a great memory from back then. So yeah, keep doing those.
About the shirts thing, if you guys are going to do it, a couple places my old band used were Monster Merch and Mammoth. Mammoth does some huge bands and a lot of independent bands as well. Looked at their site and looks like they’re based in Australia which is confusing as my band was from Ohio, and I don’t remember it being delivered from Australia. But it’s worth looking into. And yeah, I remember the cheap Hanes shirts being something like $6-7 a piece and American Apparel being around $10-12 but this was about 4-5 years ago so prices are likely higher now. Also depends on how many colors you want. Regardless, to turn a small profit and have some cash to re-order, for American Apparel shirts you’d probably need to charge around $15 each, then $3 or so for shipping. For ease of shipping, doing the Priority Mail envelopes that used to be $3.85 for anything you could fit in the envelope is best if you’re doing a large quantity of shipments. Or you could box them up and have each of them metered, but that seems like a hassle. Good luck!
Yes to boxer brief, yes A MILLION TIME.
On the subject of Prototype vs. inFAMOUS:
I don’t think it is a fair comparison, and arguing that you can compare what you want to doesn’t hold much water. By that regard I can compare brocolli vs a baby. Sure I can do it, but why would anyone listen? The thing with opinions is, you can validate anything to yourself, but in this case you are trying to be accurate to your listeners.
Prototype vs. Crackdown:
I was suprised to hear that you guys liked Crackdown better than Prototype. Deep story?!? A man telling me he, “Loves the smell of burning agent in the morning,” over and over doesn’t constitute a good story. Crackdown was a good tech demo. Shallow close quarters combat, dumb A.I that just stands on rooftops with 100 percent accuracy and spouts the same 3 lines over and over does not a deep game make.
There was no story, combat was just locking on and shooting while jumping. It was fun, but shallow in every sense.
Prototype is just shallow in MOST sense, maybe 7 out of 10 sense.
I would just like to add that in the UK tighty whities are often referred to as Y Fronts, because the pecker flap in the front looks like an upside-down Y. Which I think is a hilarious name.
Tyler’s pants crapping story was awesome. Great show guys, funny stuff.
man, not enough people say ‘pecker’ anymore. Gotta bring that one back.
Agreed. Gotta also bring “def” back.
Like man this game is so def.
Mos’ def yo…
also

hey guys thanks to everyone that showed interest in the generic tribe. the response was overwhelming thanks again. scantron of tgt.
Awsome show guys, Anthony leaking that one thing was hilarious. Too bad you guys edited it out on all the versions of the podcast
.
Also, for anyone wandering (I know I was and it drove me crazy), the first run of this weeks podcast has drastically different music than what Arthur has listed now. From what I was able to track these are the songs, in order of appearance within the podcast. Enjoy!
- All That Remains : Not Alone
- Little Boots : Meddle
- Turbonegro : Death From Above
For the T-Shirts you should check out Zazzle.com, they kind of have a cafepress type of thing going on but you can get better quality shirts. Also, they do bumper stickers and such. Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please put the PODCAST….END OF THE WORLD theme song on the next episode. Me wanna hear it soooooooooooooooooo bad.
Whoa.
I have a terrible mental image of you guys hanging out in your underwear. Thanks for that.
Great podcast though!
After hearing joyous pant pooping stories i will provide one. When playing call of Duty 4 with a friend in an intense match of hardcore search and destroy, his bowels started to act up from bad food. As he was close to winning, leaving the fight was not an option. Instead of taking a couple minute break, or accepting defeat, he dropped a deuce right on in his pants. Sitting 4 feet away the smell caught quickly and brought to me a new vision of poop socking.
Oh god, why didn’t he ask for a quick shitbreak? I mean Pooping your pants should only be done if ;
a) either someone slipped something into your drink…
or b) when you’re being robbed and they strapped you on the bed so you can’t go to the toilet.
If you poop your pants in any other occasion, you’re not “poopytrained”. Next time let him wear a pamper at least..
But you are forgetting about poop-socking ! shitting your pants early in life is understandable but, lets et this clear, poop-socking is a measured dump in a “clean-ish” fashion, and you get to play with out leaving your chair- winners all round ! Hang on, just gotta poop-sock now as I write.
The talk about the dirt tracks in your white private spaces was hilarious and almost caused me to release unwanted contents.
Having to take a shit in the (k)nick(ers) of time requires speed-pooping, this can be easily achieved by training your abdominal muscle.
Just saying.
I think maybe like Game Club – we need to have some poop-socking podcast – like Gert above says, you have to train to poop at speed and efficiently and most importantly, accurately.
Get some stickers and shit going. The shirt thing might not pan out but if you can get some stickers up I would buy them and sticker up all kinds of shit.
for a shirt i would pay upwards of $30, but other small merch is good
For a shirt I would pay A$30.00 (Australian) plus package fee. That does bring up a point though, will the merch be available world wide or is it just a fucking pain in the ass for you guys to ship overseas etc. ?
Tyler. Dead Space. Steam. Now.
I wont lie, you guys spent way too much time on Tiger Woods, but other than that, a good episode.
Oh, and Tyler?
Are you bashing Hollywood Undead? Because if you are… I’ve lost all my respect for you.
Kidding, but seriously, HU is awesome.
Sports games are games too yo. I liked the talk and will be picking up Tiger 10 soon.
My “shit my pants” story:
Okay, away football game, 12 years old, waiting outside the stall, someones in there, I’m holding it hardcore, can’t keep it in, finally shit my pants, guy finally comes out, I go into the stall and get the biggest poop chunks out, but obviously there’s lots still in there, so I have to deal with shit in my pants for the 2 hour football game and the 2 hour ride home.
FYI, I wasn’t playing, it was my brother.
IDK why I make 3 posts every article, mostly because I post as the podcast goes on, rather than listening to it all then posting. I’m listening to the part where you’re talking about sharting at the moment.
IMPORTANT INFO: ARTHUR
You need to fix the listen/rss feed link to “http://rebelfm.libsyn.com/rss”
Otherwise it won’t work for people like me who use Media Monkey. Honestly, I probably wouldn’t have bothered figuring out the problem if I hadn’t already been a fan of the show via iTunes before and you don’t want to discourage people from listening. Keep up it the good tuffs!
women tennis players have made the same as the men since 2005
Here in Belgium they actually make more because they’re better than the men. LOL
OK my Shit The Pants story.
It was way back in 1997, I was about 19 at the time. I was travelling from Isreal to the south of the Sinia desert in Eygypt to a place called Dahab. I had hooked up with 3 very hot chicks at the time and we had been travelling together for a while so we knew each other pretty well by now. They obviously felt much safer travelling through an Arab country with a male on hand to keep them safe. Anyway we got on the bus, fairly empty, the temp was around 45*C, no air-con, around 10 hours to Dahab.
As the journey continues the bus gets busier and busier untill every fucking bedouin and his livestock are on board. Around 5 hours in and I just have to shit, no warning, just hot white flushes and the sweats and I know its gonna be runny. One of the girls is sitting next to me, the others are behind me and there is no standing room, just goats and tribesman. I only had one thing to do, I told the girl next to me ( who I had the hard ons for) what was about to happen. She just looked at me with sad sympathy and said, just do it. So there I was, on an Eygyptian bus, in the middle of the desert, in a packed to the hilts bus, next to the girl I wanted so bad to bone, taking a dump in my pants ! And worst things was we had another four hours or so till we got to our destination. dudes, it stank so bad and I could feel it running down the inside of my pants making its way to the floor. the only consolation was that the goats didn’t stop farting and shitting the whole time either.
When we got to our final destination, I was the last of the bus and and I fealt like the Hunch Back Of NotreDame, crounched over with shit all over my legs.
I walked from the bus straight in to the ocean and left my pants behind, floating away in a brown runny stain.
So there you have it, that’s how you crack on to the girls !!
don’t leave us in suspense!
How did it go with the girl?
I got real close to her over time but when ever I felt “real” close and was gonna make a move, I would get this knowing look in her eye that told me, hey dude I sat next to you for nearly 4 with you pants full of shit !! Hence we only became better friends
On Left4Dead too, what I want to know is if the press will start to review games like they’re any other company’s, not ‘fuck man, it’s valve’ (thanks Arthur). I believe, for instance, that either David Ellis or Ryan O’Donnell on the 1up show, as an excuse for the few scenarios that shipped with L4D, cited Team Fortress 2′s content updates as a defense.
Or, when the game ships will we see ‘hey man, L4D shipped with 4 scenarios, this has 5!’ as a defense for the scores you give it, when 4 scenarios was seen as little to begin with.
Tiger Woods 10 Wii is a great game. My dad decided that he needed a Wii for the family recently, along with EA Active. In the past he would play a Tiger game now and then on the PC, but i had been quite a while. He’s a big golfer and from what I heard Tiger Woods 10 would be just the game for him. We had the family, along with grandparents (who are 70+ and golf daily), crowd around my Dads 48″ plasma for a bit of fun. It was very interesting watching a game cross the age barrier completely when my 73 year old grandpa parred the 5th playing as Tiger on Banff Springs, all on Standard Swing mode. Each person took a turn, and all in all it was a great time. I had been losing faith in motion control as of late, but witnessing my family brought back the possibilities.
I also got some time alone to play with the Wii controls, and I could she myself getting into it. I used to golf, but college and work have cut deeply into my desire for physical exertion in the last few years. The game itself felt really good as far as swinging nad what not went. The putting, which sounds tough on 360 and PS3, just took a few attempts to get the feel for. From there it was typically at most a 2 putt. The practice mode, which allows you to preview the ball path, also makes one much more confident in their swings. All in all I’m really impressed in the limited time I spent with the game, and am considering picking it up for myself.
Just a point to make about this and all podcasts. No one has the right to not be offended. If this doesn’t make sense or you don’t agree, too bad because you don’t have the right to go through life placing your restrictions on other. PEACE OUT BITCHES!!
You know, if there was a Goodess of the Universe, I could actually see twitter having a use. In other news, Tiger Woods is the same, except the putting is a little harder. Way to go EA, thats innovation!
LOL- just watched the co-op vid, have to say you three looked not too dis-similar to my imagination. Which is not such a bad thing.
E-S-G is well represented on this week’s Co-Op.
I think people are used to calling cafepress “crap” because they havent’ bought a cafepress shirt for 5 years. They’ve come a long, long way.
I use cafepress for all of my site’s t-shirts. None of their ‘dark’ (i.e. colored) shirts use heat-transfer. Not sure what it’s called, but the final product looks like the real-deal. They don’t use Abercrombie and Fitch t-shirts, but I’d like to think you guys were kidding about that (it’s a freaking t-shirt).
All right, if you poo-poo the shirts, fine, but the posters, stickers, and other paper-based printing is excellent. Pro quality.
There’s no reason to kick something off to feed the need (and pay the bills!)
Just saw the latest episode of COOP and holy crap, after seeing you and Anthony, no wonder the music on this podcast is mostly all shitty emo/hardcore. You should let Tyler make some picks for music now and then.
Also, a personal request is Wolf Eyes “Stabbed in the Face.” That would make my work day a whole hell of a lot better and more entertaining.
Shit story here,
Back in the day, I remember this kid from church camp that would shit while standing on the toilet, and the fucker never closed the damn door either. It was disgusting and hilarious at the same time.
Coop was great. I cringed everytime Arthur was on camera thanks to his painful looking eyebrow ring, and Tyler looks a lot different than he sounds. I thought he would look like a total dork, but to my surprise, he looks like a dude I’d want to hang with.
I’d already seen what Anthony looks like, and it’s always a huge fucking disappointment seeing him again. j/k. Gallegos rocks!
You guys are disgusting, but while listening to your disgustingness I almost cried from holding in my laughter, so we’re cool. Maybe the key to fatter penis is less flatulence and/or poop discussion?
Just a thought I would share with you. An ex boss of mine used to take his lunch break on the toilet. He would go shit and eat his lunch at the same time cus he was such a cunt and wanted every moment to be worth money to him !
If you guys are ever looking for a good TF2 server to play on you should check out any of the FUGs servers, they all have alltalk on and its a kickass community so check us out.
Mixed bag is our best server so I suggest this one

Tyler… come on with the Mass Effect spoiler… Yeah I know I’m late to the party but I’m playing through it now and I felt like breaking something when I heard that. It’s all good now though, keep it real.
