Following a few more announcements and musings in regard to the passing of Jamie D, we Geeks find the time for some much-needed friendly conversation, ranging from geeky TV news to original art collection to trivia, and whatever other topics dribble out of our mouths. We've just endured the most grueling couple of weeks in CGS history--come unwind with us. (1:32:23)
Listen to the show...eventually!

And also, congrats to @Pants for taking steps towards trying to lose some weight. As running/jogging doesn't sound like it's your thing, Pants, you should seriously consider just walking. I walk about 5 miles a day, which is where I do all my podcast listening. The most relaxing part of my day. Good luck to you!
And if the show comes out less frequently, or things aren't quite as timely, I don't think that matters. I'm happy you're carrying on. I can't imagine Jamie would want it any other way. :D
And if you're looking for new cons to go to, Boston has been really solid these past few years, especially since last year's change of date and venue has become a permanent thing (originally in April, moved to August after the marathon bombing, and everyone ended up liking that better). And the Rhode Island Comic Con is coming back for year 3 in November... a lot of media guest focus, but at least they're getting some really good media guests.
Hey, gotta stump for the local shows, right? I'd love to get to hang out with folks at any of these shows.
Can you do an episode dedicated to Original Art collecting?
Oh, and if I may pick on Peter a little bit...
Much love guys!
Thanks gang.
@Pants glad to hear you'll still be coming to SpringCon.

I was surprised to hear that Shane has reservations about Gotham. To me that was the most exciting of all the ones I saw news and/or trailers for. I am excited about all of the things coming out, especially Flash because he's a favorite character of mine, but just from the preliminary stuff, Gotham has me hooked already. Agent Carter is the one that has me most concerned, and not because I don't think it will be good, but more so because I am afraid of a general audience not getting into it.
I am PUMPED about the Star Wars stuff. Like Shane mentioned, when books first started showing up and figures then appeared, I was loving it. Then a new set of movies came out and I was stoked. No, they were not at the level I was hoping for, but I still loved moment in them. Now with Lucas being more at arms length, Disney proving with Marvel that they can do amazing things, and the access to media stuff to hype it up like we have today? I could not be more excited. I am looking forward to all the new Star Wars stuff that we'll be seeing.
I agree with Peter that I am fine with changes here and there to try to appeal to a larger audience, and changes don't bother me because I enjoy different takes on characters. I only ever get annoyed when I feel the core of the character seems drastically different (and I realize that tolerance level for where that is would be different for everyone).
Overall it's a fantastic time to be a geek....now, if this stuff can translate to higher comic sales, I would be even more jazzed.
(That's an Oz, ah say, an Oz reference, son. Pay attention, ah'm tryin' ta learn ya somethin'!)

@Pants: I'd echo what was said above in that just plain old WALKING is very healthy. No need to feel like you have to either start running/jogging or else not bother. As far as diet, on the show you mentioned refraining from eating a steak. I'm not an expert and would leave it up to others to debate how much healthier (if at all) pork or chicken is than steak, but one thing I can tell you is that you'll almost certainly have more success losing weight if you cut down on your intake of breads, grains, cereals, pasta and other carbohydrates. If you're eating hotdogs, stuff two of them in one bun instead of eating two buns. If you're having a hamburger, eat as little of the top bun as you can get away with. Even simple things like that will help. From what I know, a lot of our big doughy fat comes from big doughy empty food. Good luck.
And for the record, The List is now John DeLancie, Joe Q. and telestream.net. Kicks to the balls to all!
If you limit red meat and zero out fried foods it cuts back on lots fat. However if the main replacement is yummy pork then you aren't doing yourself any favors. Replace red meat with chicken and fish ( tilipai is pretty mild). I'm not advocating never eating red meat or pork bt limit the to less than a once a week.
Give us updates, there's a thread in off topic section for weight loss.
