GDAY WORLD #158 - Featuring the Sacked Telstra Blogger, Tom Reynolds
Tom Reynolds, the guy who was a Telstra blogger until his contract was unceremoniously terminated last week, oh-so-coincidentally 24 hours after he wrote a post slightly critical of Telstra, joins Rich and I on the show today.
We talk about
- Type 2 Diabetes, childhood obesity and fast food. I think it’s time we (eg me) did something about it.
- Must see TV - Entourage, Deadwood, new eps of Battlestar Galactica, Studio 60 on Sunset Strip, and Heroes
- Cam’s planning on moving to San Francisco to raise funds for TPN.
- And Tom and Rich blame me for their life problems. Bloody typical. No-one takes responsibility these days.

Come on Cam, don’t blame Tom and Rich, they have no free will and have to blame you!

Yeah, I mentioned Heroes to Cam at the dinner… I was a bit iffish about wether or not it was going to be a good show, having only seen the first episode, but the second episode seems to indicate that it will be a decent series…
And btw, does this move to SF mean that Cam isn’t coming to the G’day World 2nd Birthday Bash?
October 9th, 2006 at 11:06 pm
oh it was you! good on ya urb. And yeah, re the birthday bash, i guess you’re right. You’ll all have to party without me.
October 9th, 2006 at 11:32 pm
Hmm, I thought being in another country was no excuse :-p
October 10th, 2006 at 9:21 am
damn, i hate it when people listen to my shit and then regurgitate it back to me! yeah you’re right. it’s just a plane ride, right? I’ll have to make sure I come back for the party. Of course, you could all come to San Francisco….

I couln’t believ it took you 20 mins to realise Tom’s question about moving to San fran as a lifestyle choice. I LOL t my desk at that one, very funny stuff.
I watched Battlestar Galactica last night and god I love this show. It is best thing out there period. I am still working my way through season 1 of Deadwood and and have season 2 ready to go. Season 3 started on Showtime here last night so I will record those and watch after I am caught up.
Guys at Cool Shite forums have good things to say about heroes so that maybe another thing to look out for.

Wow, your serious about San Fran! Your coming out of the Closet!
Hint: If you Fucking get funding, don’t take a month holiday (like you did when you sold ads on eBay).

The funniest thing about the Super Size presentation on Sunday was at the end of it, they had an ad for what during the credits? An ad for their weight loss reality show, the biggest losser!
Made me chuckle. Good one Channel 10!

I’m glad my “Cam is gay” joke was both funny and noticed. I was thinking of milking it, but it’s not my stlye *boom tish*

Tony - yeah I watched Ep 1 of BSG S03 last night and it KICKED ASS. God I love that show.
Tom… next time you think you’ll crack funny on MY show, just remember who the king is.
October 10th, 2006 at 2:15 pm
Episode 1? What about Episode 2??? It was a double episode last Friday night.
The only problem is have to wait another 4-5 days before can watch the next ep:(

Regarding your comments on whether you would be allowed inside the USA with all your Bush bashing, what about Jon Stewart. I am sure you watch the Daily Show, if you don’t you should, and he loves bashing Bush and I hate to say it is probably more famous or well known than the Camster.
Love the Daily Show and watch it every night.
October 10th, 2006 at 2:36 pm
I don’t have cable mate, so I am watching BSG when *I* want to. And Yeah I love Jon Stewart as well, the diff between him and I (apart from talent, looks and money) is that he is a US citizen. Me… not so much.
October 10th, 2006 at 2:39 pm
Have cable??? Got nothing to do with it. BSG isn’t on TV here. I had to download it just like you did.
October 10th, 2006 at 2:41 pm
Shhhhh.
October 10th, 2006 at 6:47 pm
Just listening to the show and not yet finished, I know a bit late of the mark, so long Cam!
Hey love the idea about kids and their weight. Tom is right that technology is in part to blame, he says as his son is watching TV, arguing to play the Xbox or get on his PC :-). I think a podcast, video or regular, for kids on weight is a great idea. Do is as a 10-12 part edition, ensure the RSS feed includes all parts.
PS Hey when did you publish a second radio drama! You need to advertise this stuff more!!

Michael, check out the latest episode of South Park (the WoW one)… probably should convince kids not to go nuts with gaming at the expense of thier health…
The montage is here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=lUhGCc_Wi3A&search=south%20park%20world%20of%20warcraft
October 11th, 2006 at 9:20 am
Great montage and a good message for all, including us “grown ups” who have jobs that keep them at their desks all day.
October 11th, 2006 at 12:09 pm
Being a WoW player that episode is one of the best Sth park episodes ever. I guess the parts your talking about could be taken that way but personally I already look like that so I am not too concerned
Just back to BSG for a sec did anyone who watched it catch the Seinfeld reference early on?
It was pure gold.

Could do with some more Aussies over here.
Hey Cam if you want the name of a good immigration attorney I can give you one and he is in San Francisco as well. I wouldn’t tempt the INS they do read blogs as shown by a Canadian who was turned back because they read his blog which said he was living and working in NYC. Look at getting a B1 visa from memory this wasn’t that hard.
At least you will be able get your fill of BSG though its harder to get Rugby and Cricket
October 12th, 2006 at 7:18 am
Thanks Ant! Yeah I know that Canadian blogger quite well. In fact he was a host on TPN in the early days - Jeremy Wright. Just raised $2 mill for his company b5 Media. Where are you based?
October 12th, 2006 at 9:22 am
East coast in ‘Jiosey’. Been here nearly 6 years, 3 of which trying to get the Green Card.
Still getting used to how they do business here.
October 16th, 2006 at 6:01 pm
Any chance for another show this year? (or are you in SF already?)

Still in Melbourne until Oct 22. Will try to do one this week dude. Just kind of crazy right now. As usual.
