How Did We Meet Your Mother?
Earlier this week we recorded a commentary track to the Pilot Episode of How I Met Your Mother, and we're at a loss of what to do with it. It's not as long as our normal episodes, it's not as riff-tracky as RiffTrax, and we don't discuss writing at all. So, we're posting it here on the website as a sort of bonus episode.... that is still counted amongst the normal episodes. We're only going to have it as a website exclusive until we hear back if you, the awesome listener, would like to hear more stuff like that (or commentaries in general) more often on the podcast. So let us know what you think! Tweet at us! Comment on facebook! Drop us an e-mail! Just let us know if this is a sort of thing you'd like more of.
Also, spoiler alert, Justin gets a little rant-y at the end.
New normal-length episode is being recorded today, so be on the lookout for that as well in the next day or two.
Keep on writing!
Check it out here!
You can see us!
A few days ago, we had an hour to do something Write Idea Workshop related, and we decided to take a look at shows and movies coming up this fall! Give it a look, like and subscribe, or just comment to let us know how much you love Michael Bay's "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".
Keep on writing!
Death of a Legend: Robin Williams
Robin Williams - Infamous comedian, actor, humanitarian. Inspiration to so many. 7/21/51 - 08/11/2014

We're late to the game on this. Not because we didn't hear about it, or that the Write Idea Workshop has relocated to under a rock, but more so because, at least I (Ryan) personally have been in a bit of a state of shock and grief since learning about Robin Williams passing. Like for a (not-so) surprising many people across America and the world, the news that Robin Williams died hit like a ton of bricks. Some of us are just now getting to our feet in the wake of it. That's not to say that I'm over it. Robin Williams wasn't some fly-by-night starlet who crashed and burned with the likes of Marilyn Monroe or James Dean, or some other person to be known for only a handful of things in their time on this earth. Robin Williams was a force for good on this planet, and his loss will reverberate through the culture for years to come.
While I wish we had some piece or interview for even a moment with Mr.Williams, we do not. However, Marc Maron recorded an interview with Robin and has recently reposted it here
If you're feeling the loss, if you can't get a hold of one of his movies and would like to hear some amazing chatter with Robin Williams, I highly recommend checking out that interview.
I don't want to get deeply into the many ways I've related to Robin Williams and his movies over the years, because it would take far too much time (I'm writing this at my day job) and frankly I've shared some struggles with Robin I'm not quite comfortable talking with on the podcast or in this article. Suffice to say, Robin Williams has always been an inspiration to me. He exemplified putting your all into any given performance or creative endeavor and making magic from it. I'm certain I'm among the many who wished they could thank Robin personally for all he's given to the world:to the soldiers he entertained and respected, to the creatives he inspired, to the countless children he brought joy to... There is so much this one man has accomplished in 63 years. All the rest of us can do is aspire to try and fill the hole he's leaving with love and joy and respect for our fellow humans, try to make the world as bright as it was when he was among us living here.
Deepest condolences go out to all those who knew Robin personally, to his family and friends, and to all those who are still struggling with depression.
Episode 46 - Attack of the Jac(ob)!
So I know it's been a while, since the front page has updated, but that doesn't mean we haven't been posting new episodes. Episode 46 just came out last week featuring surprise guest Jacob Kincaid, the talented writer and musician who made our badass theme song!
Be sure to give the episode a listen, check out Jac's band The Urethras and continue rocking on!
