Last week, Jason Calacanis posted a clip from Gladiator that he says he watches every day before work for inspiration.
This is my equivalent. I came across it yesterday on my Entourage Season Six DVDs (this is from Chapter 3 of Episode 3) while procrastinating from other work and just generally not feeling the energy. Needless to say, I got up and got stuff done right after this scene.
At 19 years old, I’m at a totally different point in my life/career than Jason. I mean literally my entire memory of Gladiator was hearing the incredible sound design of the swords and coliseum(s?) from my bed at age 8, since the rest of family was watching the film after my bedtime. I haven’t gotten around to seeing it since. But I’m also just getting started, and I feel like one half (maybe even a little more) of my brain is Turtle in this clip, and the rest of my brain is Ari. I’m trying to get a little more of the latter.
I neglected to post the latest episode of my and Ben Wright’s podcast, Keeping in Touch here! How rude of me.
Well, here it is! With the best opening music possible, so turn the volume up on this one. And then back down so it’s not like we’re yelling.
Episode 18 of Keeping in Touch can be played above or directly downloaded here, but it’s always better to subscribe for free on iTunes, Zune, or wherever else you want to so you never miss an episode! Because that would be like you not keeping in touch, right?
I would say that the 11th episode of my and Ben Wright’s podcast is one of, if not the best episode yet.
We recorded it in person instead of over Skype this time, along with our friend and hip hop producer Mannan Ahmed, aka kthx! We even play ‘It’s Complicated’, a creepy facebook stalker song that Mannan and I made about a year ago.
Make life easier by subscribing to Keeping in Touch on iTunes or Zune!
And please, like us on Facebook! It’s like part of your democratic rights or something!
What? There’s a TENTH episode of this podcast that Ben Wright and I do weekly? Crazy.
Since I have next to no memory of recording this and am still in the process of downloading it, here’s Ben’s sum-up:
This week we talk about UJump, detours to Quebec, and crazy food. Ben admits to having no indie cred and considers pimping out his roommate Sam through Xbox Live. And we get rid of those annoying songs in the middle.
You know the drill: instead of just listening to the show on this page, just make life easier by subscribing on iTunes or Zune!
Also like us on Facebook! It is the only way we will have self esteem.
PODCAST! EPISODE NINE! This is a really good one, folks. I should know, I’m halfway through listening to it.
We straight hate on Queen Latifah up front, and, to be perfectly honest, I can’t say she doesn’t deserve it. Frickin’ Queen Latifah.
As always, listen to the show on this page, or just make life easier by subscribing on iTunes or Zune!
If you were subscribed before, you might be on the Sick Feats feed; please resubscribe to the new one to keep getting episodes, as we’ve stopped updating the old one.
I’ve neglected to point you to the new (now almost old), fifth episode of my and Ben’s podcast? How rude of me.
I didn’t edit this one so I have no details regarding the music this week, beyond the fact that it’s really good.
Once again, iTunes it up and subscribe here! Or just slum it on the web if you really have to. But this really is the kind of podcast you want to own.
What? I’m still podcasting? That’s right, son; episode FOUR of Ben Wright and my weekly podcast is up, and it’s good stuff. I try acting, Ben tries Mass Effect 2, and we both discuss the sunny side of global warming.
Intro music: The Beatles’ “Come Together” Dubstep Remix
This week’s Sick Track: 40 Day Dream by Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros
Episode Three of Sick Feats is up! Listen here, or download the mp3.
In episode three of sick feats, we watch + comment on the Spielberg/Lucas classic, ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’, with a brief appearance by guest commentor Jackie Murchison.

sickfeats.mevio.com for more episodes; we’re now on iTunes and the Zune Store!
This weeks music: “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer” from the Beatles’ “Abbey Road” album, available now in the Beatles box sets and as an individual album at a store near you.
