This is the second video in our Country Public Broadcasting System series. A few years ago, Brian Posehn called me and challenged HnP to make fun of a Country singer named Trace Adkins. "It's not possible, because he's such a redneck," he said. Our solution was to make Adkins' style of music about science, a topic rarely covered in the Country genre. When we started talking to Super Deluxe, this was the first song we pitched and thus the Country Public Broadcasting System was born. Special thanks to Neil Mahoney, who directed the live action part of the video, and to Josh Fadem who was kind enough to appear in it. If you like it, by all means pass it along---be warned though, there is foul language afoot so keep it out of reach of the little ones. Science, Y'all!!!

El Rey!
Last night's El Rey show with Ask A Ninja and Patton Oswalt was FANTASTIC. The theater was jammed, the audience was worked into a foamy froth and we had an absolute blast. Thanks so much to Kent and the Ninja for putting on such a stellar event. The Ninja was on fire, Patton was his usual gale-force of comedy and Olivia Munn, my new co-worker at G4, was a kick-ass hostess. Another blob of appreciation goes out to our pal Dragon Boy Suede, who showed up to rap his part during "Pi." The makeshift nerd-thrill meter I hastily constructed out of a Gaussmeter and an old calculator registered an "E" on the LCD from sheer overload. If you were there, thank you! You brought it!

Ask A Ninja
It seems that the Ninja has been asked so many questions that he, himself, needed to be the inquisitor for a change. The question: "Hard 'n Phirm, would you like to participate in Ninja Day 2007 at the El Rey Theater on December 5th?" The answer was a resounding and respectful, "Hai!" Please join us, a Ninja and Patton Oswalt for a night of music, comedy and supreme killing techniques.
