Episode 30: All Day I Dream About Penguins

Friday, October 13th, 2006

Thirty episodes…..gosh it's easy when you just say it like that……and what better way to celebrate this fine milestone on the Transcontinental Penguin Super Show than to discuss our favorite topics which are none other than the PS3 and Wii releases!  I guess we could also talk about the really awesome 10th season debut of South Park featuring the best MMORPG EVER CREATED, World of Warcraft!  Sony released a response to the lack of rumble feature in the PS3 controller.  A GameStop regional manager believes that the PS3 "isn't going to launch well" which could be very accurate when hear things like neither edition will come with the cables for hookup to HD TVs.  The lack of units is still prevalent despite it going to 400,000 units now, though most of any pre-order for it is now over.  This option could actually help Nintendo and Microsoft as being a holiday other option for the lack of PS3s out there.  The Wii, on the other hand, with the CompUSA leaked pricing information, will now ship double our original estimates with 2 million units.  The pre-order for the Wii too are tight but with these plenty of units available, odds of getting one are much better even with the rumored possible early launch.  An interview with Nintendo's VP of Marketing for America answers a lot of Wii questions.  One thing plaguing our minds is the affect of sunlight on the wireless sensor some seem to be finding.  And finally despite their best efforts to hack and mod the Wii to put an OS in it, Nintendo beat you to it but having Linux already installed and what appears to be updateable.  Good job, Nintendo.  Beware of damaged fingers and names when Emerson garbage disposals sue for the new shows "Heros" slanderous scene.  Mike loses his mind for this week's WTF is Wrong With Japanese People.  For the first time, there was going to be a WTF is RIGHT Story but since Yahoo News is gay and doesn't archive their own stories, there is no link.  Also, despite Chris not believing, Mike swears we have had the link of the fast Japanese undressing guy.  Watch the movie and let us know.  FInally, think America likes porn?  Well, Japan has an 80 billion dollar a year one of their own which can be seen in a new book called the "Pink Box."  That name sounds so naughty….A.D.I.D.A.S Baby!!!

Episode 29: The Loot, The Warrant, and The Transcontinental Penguin Super Show

Friday, October 6th, 2006

TTPSS, apply directly to the forehead, TTPSS, apply directly to the forehead, TTPSS, apply directly to the forehead, TTPSS.  Fast shows, from us?  We really must have been on crack this week.  Alex Trebek sounded wacked out of his mind when he had to rap some of the clues on a teen Jeopardy.  Joining the Revolution, the Wii, Commodore 64 games will now also be available for download on the virtual console.  Old story regarding the Wii Channels, but hey, IT'S IN ENGLISH THIS TIME!!!  For all those anti-wireless people out there, worry not, for Nintendo will indeed have a wired ethernet kit available.  Don't expect it to be a blue light special though, as is explained the mystery glowing light on the console.  Kiosks of the new system will be exclusive to GameStop but you may be required to use your credit card to play them as theft worries owners thanks to the wireless controllers.  We suggest getting ready to wait in line as the pre-order option will not be available for GameStop.  This also applies to the PS3 and leprechauns.  Study shows gaming during the week hiners learning.  Maybe that's why we can't read or write.  In other wacky news, the energy drink Cocaine is stirring up more contraversy as a result of the name.  Also, the link shows caffeine amounts compared to other drinks which explains the tap dancing dinosaur in the corner right now.  A porn star cuts her leg after a skydiving landing though she did successfully get the shot from her new movie, "Airgazmic."  And in other stupid world records, dude puts on 155 t-shirts.  Laptop batteries aren't the only thing exploding on this adventure of WTF is Wrong With Japanese People.  It seems Hello Kitty dolls are prone to explosion of warm liquid goo.  Nerds are assaulted by other Japanese guys in the electronic district for being weak and powerless.  Business men now have a new service to give them that quick freshing pick me up during their 18 hour day because that's all they do in Japan is work.  ANd of course what would this segment be without creepy robots that will no doubt kill us all in the future.  DO IT ROCKAPELLA!!!

Episode 28: Because They’re Made Of Metal and Robots Are Strong

Sunday, October 1st, 2006

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, and children of all ages!!!  Welcome to the greatest show on the Internet, The Transcontinental Penguin Super Show!  I expect all old people by the end of listening to have applied for their Old Glory Robot Insurance because, face it, the metals ones are coming.  If you aren't killed by robots, perhaps you will be burned alive by the continuing laptop battery problems facing us these day's.  If not, then we will forcibly tattoo it into your forehead like "Katie's Revenge."  Poor Terri Irwin was so distraught about losing the Croc Hunter and her recent E-mail Scam Identity Exploit problem, that she decided to take revenge on all sting rays!!  Help her destroy the stinged ones by clicking the link!  Proceeds will all be spent on buying Screech, Dustin Diamond's, new sex tape.  Remember teenage girls everywhere that whilst on your myspace being whores to register to vote with the new plan.  Piraters of DVDs beware, the K9 Crew is out to get you.  Microsoft's Zune releases info on price and song quantity while the Ipod continues to dominate the market.  One of the most awesome links in the world with the interview of Peter Cullen a.k.a. Optimus Prime.  In Nintendo/Sony warfare news, Nintendo will have 1 million Wii available to Sony's 300,000 PS3.  Nintendo has also released that the Wii will have the Play History function, box art for the games released, and the Message Board System.  Also, the Opera browser will be free, but only for a short time.  If you are curious as to cost, you the calculator site and start saving now.  Lastly, just because, have a look at the inside's of the Nunchuk because you can.  Sony and it's one news story as always screws you again by turning previous series system game play into a pay for download service and gives only Japan a price break.  Seriously Sony, it's getting old…..The new Mortal Kombat Armageddon trailer is sick and the Civilization 4 spoof video is hilarious.  And yet another lawsuit take blame away from fucking parents that don't do their fucking jobs as parents and blame their warped kids minds on video games.  Good luck with that fucktards…..way to worry about money as opposed to your family……  Japanese robots teach us some awesome dance/exercise moves in our WTF is Wrong With Japanese People.  They are tiny and, of course, eat old peoples medicine for fuel…..

Episode 27: Yo, ho ho, a Penguin’s Life For Me..

Friday, September 22nd, 2006

Ahooy there me hardies!  Join us as we celebrate Pirate Day tonight on the Transcontinental Penguin Super Show.  Marvel at our pillaging of the internet with such stories like the possibility of a Jurassic Park IV directed by Senior Spielbergo and the Family Guy clip too hot even for Fox!  Watch the wonder of the canons firing upon enemy ships or simply turn on your Toshiba laptop with Sony battery for an explosion of your own.  The Nintendo Wii is nearly here and we've got the release date, price point and updates to prove it!  Despite being region locked, the virtual console information is some good swag for you to feast upon.  Yarr…..Link wields a sword!  He could be a pirate now that he's right handed.  Sony gays it up harder than ever with the new "Sixaxis" named controller but quasi redeems a portion of dignity with some awesome launch titles slated for 2049.  Fortunately, the world will not have been destroyed by a black hole at that point so we may actually get to see the PS3.  Boredom + Internet + Slinky Commercial = It's Dildo!  Update those resumes guild masters and PVP High Warlords, WoW experience would look great when reworded properly.  Engrish lessons brought to you by WTF is Wrong With Japanese People helps women in a dangerous situation and explanation to the authorities whilst gaining much needed aerobic exercise.  And to paraphrase something Stewie Griffin once said, this calls for another one of my Choco Parties!!! GOOD GOOD!!!

Episode 26: This is not The Greatest Episode in the World, no. This is just a tribute.

Wednesday, September 13th, 2006

On quite possibly the most and only serious moment, to date, on the Transcontinental Penguin Super Show, we would like to express our deepest and most sincere sympathy to the family and friends of Steve Irwin, The Crocodile Hunter.  He was will be missed but his legacy with live on for years to come.  We pay tribute to him with some clips and his spoofed South Park appearance. 

Mean while, in the "Book of People that Deserved to Die for Their Own Stupidity", we have the drowned Evangelist.  Also, soon to join him is the Auto-eroticism driver.  People just don't think sometimes.  Awesome news for AMD with the announcement Dell will now lead toward the clearly superior processor and now graphic card maker.  That's right, Intel sucks more ass than *any random gay person or joke over the last century.*  Way to scorn your consumers Intel….  And so it seems that yet more laptop batteries are exploding, with Panasonic this time at the helm.  With MGM's giant movie announcement comes signs of a possible Terminator 4 which could be cool if done very, very carefully as to not make it horrible.  Sony PSP download service will launch with the fabled PS3.  This could quite possibly be the one and only saving grace for the company at this point as yet in another screw up, in our opinions, the PAL version of PS3 will not be available for 6 more months after initial release.  Apparently the rest of the world took notice and Nintendo stock flew to a 6 year high and Sony stock fell.  The Nintendo Wii continues onward with many new items including video of game play for some highly anticipated titles like Zelda and Splinter Cell.  Also, a listing of available launch titles for the emulator portion from Nintendo and Sega are available.  Still confused, check the 101 Wii Faqs.  And in the middle is the Xbox 360 with it's power house title, Gears of War, brought to you by the same makers of Unreal Tournament.  Head Shot!!!  And finally, whilst our pants glow brightly from the new Philips Light-emitting technology, we cut straight to the point on WTF is Wrong With Japanese People.  New born boy saves nation from 40 years slump with no male heir to the thrown.  All we can say is that, well, our penis is so small….You have huge American penis…..How can we possibly please our women with such small penis…Giant gargantuan American penis….We're feeling White and Nerdy.

Episode 25…..Not Another Penguin Clip Show…PART 1

Thursday, September 7th, 2006

Chris and Mike would like to extend our most sincere thanks and appreciation to all those people that make The Transcontinental Penguin Super Show possible which is of course you our listeners!!!  We have had a great time doing this for everyone and plan on continuing the madness for all.  Given the quantity of shows to date, we felt it was the right time to officially sell out and make a clip show.  HEY SIMPSONS DID IT!  Enjoy some of our hand selected wacky moments of the past year as we can to entertain and offend.

Episode 24: Quite Cheesy Indeed

Wednesday, August 30th, 2006

Welcome once again ladies and gentlemen to the greatest show on Earth as The Transcontinental Penguin Super performs for you in the center circle.  This week on the show we played several songs by one Richard Cheese and his awesome approach to music; taking everyday popular tunes and transforming them into lounge lizard classics.  Despite a release date a little under a year away, The Transformers movie will consistently continue to have news evident by this week sneak peak at some of the Autobots in the closing seen of the movie.  Expect a full trailer this holiday season.  Tom Cruise had a bad day when he was dropped by Paramount from and the same day Matt Stone and Trey Parker pick up a two movie contract.  At least his day wasn't as bad as Timmy Shannon, an Ohio teen severely traumatized after discovering the stars of a downloaded porno flick were none other than his own parents.  In Solar System news, Pluto loses his planetary status and is now a dwarf planet while *INSERT RANDOM URANUS JOKE HERE*  We also learned that, well, actually we already knew that Chad Kroger of Nickleback was a pussy.  The Nintendo Corporation continues their epic charge toward world domination with the September 14 release of vital information about the Wii, price and release date possibly.  Also, the DS's Star Fox Command comes out soon.  In sad news for the first time ever in a while from Nintendo, it seems some third party game designers have not been given the Wii software and therefore their games will be missing key components, i.e. wifi just to name one.  No matter, the domination of Sony will occur either way no matter if it's wired or wireless.  A ground breaking four stories will hit you in junk as WTF is Wrong With Japanese People flies frantically toward your genitals.  A Japanese man sets a record with a giant trampoline basketball slam dunk while crazy mimes trick people into walking around imaginary glass.  Yet more Japanese game show weirdness with two clips; one containing what we can only assume as evil Pokemon and a sex doll to play with and the other with simply men's ass shoved into other men's faces.  Yeah….we know….

Episode 23: Penguins in an Aircraft!!!

Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006

Enough is enough!  I have had it with these mother fucking penguins on this mother fucking Transcontinental Penguin Super Show!  In case you have been living in a cave, we have a video this week of Samuel L. Jackson on The Daily Show discussing his new movie, Snakes of a Plane.  We also have a story about some funny pranksters that had their own snakes for everyone a premier of the movie in Phoenix.  In other Penguin news, The Pirate Bay steps up and says bring it with their world wide back up measure should they try to be shut down again.  Tramm Hudson, who is running for office in Florida, manages to INSULT AFRICAN AMERICANS……Damn CAPS Lock key, someone should really do something about that…..Mean while, a man offers scientist a way to create free energy via magnetism and Copperfield continues to be a little gay with his "Fountain of Youth" he discovered.  It's funny how an illusionist managed to find that….Movie news tells us that Batman: The Dark Knight has Seymour Hoffman as the Penguin.  It's home stretch time for the Nintendo Wii as they show the new Zelda Twilight Princess game functionality with the Wii-mote and their possible exercise game.  But, good old Sony manages to lose yet another step with multiple reports of no production of the PS3, despite previous stories and the Blue-ray drive still not working.  We also learned a freaking crazy theory about video game violence and a quite expected theory regarding female violent habits and video games.  Big thanks go out to our friend Luke at http://www.gameaddicthotline.com/ for his recommendation for this week's WTF is Wrong With Japanese People!  The Magnetic Asian Spandex Boys clips pretty much do speak for themselves whilst the Woolly Mammoth reincarnation idea makes you think why, why, and why some more.  Lastly, a man and his amazing talents slam an entire water bottle, 2 liters possibly, in less then 5 seconds!  Another big thank you goes out to our two listeners Brin and Katie!  Thanks for the mail, especially you Katie, Mike wants you to marry him!  Catch ya'll next week as long as these mother fucking snakes on this mother fucking plane don't eat us first!

Episode 22: God Save the Penguins!

Wednesday, August 16th, 2006

And what have we learned?  Well, this week's Transcontinental Penguin Super Show has taught us some very fine points.  For example, someone at Microsoft is a massive perve and David Hasselhoff seems to believe he is the Anti-Christ, duh….  The hip Mac kid has a good career ahead of him, but with the return of Kickball, at least he has a back up option should his career fail miserably.  G4 created a spoof commercial, PS3 vs Wii with the only thing that you'll find on the gamer channel, that's right, hot girls.  Everyone, including Chris's coworker, seems to be looking forward to the Nintendo Wii as more amazing functionality was revealed; voice recognition!  Meanwhile, in typical fashion Sony has another problem when they lose FROM Software.  The RIAA in their amazing pompous self-righteousness are suing the family of a dead person.  An official warning to all our listeners currently on their laptop as your battery may burst into flames at any given moment.  Go check to make sure your Dell isn't being recalled.  Our suggestion is take a look at the new Mac Pro desktop and see if you can track yourselves down Apple's Leopard.  Vonage is making it even easier to take your home phone with you thanks to their new V-Phone service.  Patience to all the Craft addicts out there.  The Burning Crusade is coming soon and we've got all the information Blizzard just spilled to IGN about it.  Hopefully, your machine wasn't attacked by the massive worm that was just recently released.  WTF is Wrong With Japanese People continues to prove that you really don't want to be on any kind of game show whilst in Japan.  And not to drag up the painful memories, but just a reminder that Razor Ramon "Hard Gay" is now officially married.  We wish him the best luck in the future ruining of the lives of all the children I'm sure he will be having.  And finally, we cross our fingers that the world doesn't end next week because then, well, we won't be able to do the show for anyone anymore as a result of being radioactive super mutants.  If nothing happens, great, thank goodness.  But if the world does explode, just remember, you knew about it from us here first!!!

Episode 20: Survival of the Fitest

Wednesday, August 2nd, 2006

Sweet!!  Only one more episode and we're old enough to drink!  This week on The Transcontinental Penguin Super Show the world of gaming stood still for a moment when whilst we all reflected on the near demise of E3.  Some say it is a simple "downsizing" or "restructuring" but this can be certainly said, E3 as we know will never be the same again.  Nintendo continues the march toward victory with more amazing news including the long awaited DS Headset, complete system specs for the Wii, revealing camera and headset functions, as well as being "revolutionary" by running Linux of a solid state media card.  Sony efforts, though possibly in vain, continue none the less and the first wave of their counter offensive rolls off the assembly line!  Only 100 billion more PS3 to see that profit turn around.  Not to be out done, Microsoft vows they will steal the spotlight from Sony and Nintendo.  Their lack of attention on their operating systems here is possibly a reason people like American McGee are going to switch to Linux.  The fact that Windows Genuine Advantage doesn't work right or the new demo of Vista leaves you saying the same thing as most others, when will it end?  AOL's last ditch effort for survival seems to be just that, an attempt to keep what few people remain loyal.  Batman gets a little gayer, Brokeback Mountain style with Heath Ledger being the Joker in the upcoming Batman: The Dark Knight sequel.  It gets worse with Ryan Phillipe as Harvey Dent.  As we said, if only the asteroid would collide with Earth and end it all or at least give a solid peaceful release to lobster people everywhere.  Japan shames themselves further in this episodes WTF is Wrong With Japanese People.  Some crazy guy built what looks like a mech while Nike uses transforming robots, not Transformers as confusion suggests, to support their product.  If you can't figure out the burger magic trick then perhaps you'll stay tuned for a little English lesson, Japanese style.  Come on!  Come on, Toshi!  Come On!

Episode 19: Yo VIPs….Let’s kick it!

Saturday, July 29th, 2006

A date which will live in infamy….For the first time and possibly the last time, The Transcontinental Penguin Super Show came at you live and edited in ReAL TIME.  We came up with a great idea just to have some fun and hope you all enjoy it.  Comic-Con 2006 wrapped up with some interesting news for all to share.  Mike choose to highlight the possible Ghostbusters 3 sequel and dove deep into the awesomeness of the Transformers movie.  Also coming at you is the new CGI Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, in which we played the old school intro.  In the old tech spot, Sony officially began manufacturing their fabled Playstation 3 while the Nintendites have a possible cryptic release date for the Wii, October 2nd.  Despite being gay, France will now also be known for possibly the fastest and greatest packaged ISP service ever with their 2.5 G/s speeds.  AMD and ATI merge is official!  Via la resistence!  Expect some ground breaking computer stuff bitches!  NVidia is on the map too with their powering the new video iPod.  The DS Opera offers you the chance to get more use out of your Nintendo DS, giving it 24 hour a day playness.  Microsoft claims Vista will be an image loaded directly onto the hard drive.  Could this be faster or just Microsoft lazyness?  We shalt see.  Don't forget to order your King James Bible by calling us at 206-600-6212.  If worried about being a Christian, learn a little about the Mormon faith and then rethink yourself.  The MPAA decided to screw with the wrong Hogan, brother!  Lastly, we hit you a coupe Mac bash links just to keep things PC….get it?  PC?  WOW……Japanese Androids!!!  I TOLD YOU ALL BUT YOU DIDN'T BELIEVE ME!  WHY DIDN'T YOU BELIEVE ME?  I like my steak Pittsburg Medium not Medium Rare.  Vanilla Ice Ninja Rap…I think that just explains itself :)

Tuesday, July 18th, 2006

Thank you to all our listeners that come back consistently despite our vicious iTunes problems.  Chris totally goes off explaining the problems and that it is nearly fixed.  We love you guys!!!  Nintendo pops out a little more info on their new Wii controller and it's functionality while Sony continues what we believe to be there downward spiral with the loss of UMD movies.  The possible switch to Memory Stick Duo movies might work, but we doubt it.  Not to mention we doubt the two new PlayStation 3 videos; one of the user interface and other of the unit itself.  Keeping it light we toss in a clip from Chappelle's Show with Wayne Brady, arguably one of the top ten from the show.  Drool hits the floor over the new Transformers Movie pictures, but the fear they make too many changes to classic things lives.  Mike finally saw X-men and we talked about other comic book stuff, like the Iron Man movie.  Want a tank?  Buy it now on Amazon!  It comes equipped with a kickin system to listen to Gangsta Master Yoda and his rap.  Japan causes more pain to humanity with WTF Is Wrong With Japanese People!  The new Mario Basketball DS commercial makes you laugh, while the male population, 10% with no sex, makes you think,  huh?  The pimp talk show host monkey makes you think damn he's good, better than me, and I'm human.  And of course the fly circus makes you think, gosh maybe Mike is right and we should erase Japan from existence, or at bare minimum they should cut the shit out, like President Bush said to Tony Blair.  Power to the Penguins!!!

Episode 17: Penguin 360….Back to Our Roots, Bitches!

Thursday, July 13th, 2006

And We're Back!!!  This week we went old school and tried to bring things back to our roots a bit with one of our stories.  Gamefly has already added Wii and PS3 games to it's list despite not evening being available yet.  As Sony continues to have more problems such as pushing back assembly to next month Cell chips yield, Nintendo steps up their game further by having one million Wii units ready by August.  On the light side, DS Lite that is, Star Fox is all set to make his debut on the new handheld dynamo.  Plus, Mario glass figures made in Mexico, can I get a w00t?  We learned all about Net Neutrality from Ask A Ninja and Chris whilst Senator Ted Stevens absolutely butchers the definition of the Internet.  We have both regular and techno; take your pick.  Man arrested for planting stone soccer balls in Germany….need we say more on that?  Scientology takes the high road when one of it's members assaults a man making a documentary and then denies his involvement.  Grats to South Park on their Emmy nod for "Trapped in the Closet," and to Comedy Central for airing the episode once again.  Still confused?  Let Stephen Colbert explain for you.  This week Japanese architecture goes down the toilet, while more wacky people scare others.  All hail Kobayashi and his amazing stomach!!!  Nathen's Hot Dog Champion Sixth Time in a Row!  Like pranks?  Well we've got two for you.  One in the office and the other in the dorm.  One goes over well and the other does not, you watch and find which one is which.  And finally, think twice next time you're mugged at gun point by a balloon or get into a brawl with a pickle….wait those are inanimate objects, people are actually scared of them??  Wow Maury Povich, take us out!

Episode 16: America, Fuck Yeah!

Tuesday, July 4th, 2006

Hoist the flags and get your salute on bitches, it's The Transcontinental Penguin Super Show's Happy Birthday America episode!! Today we talked about some really cool videos and things on our minds. We found a video of a real working scale F-14 fighter jet. Canada continues is drag on the world by hiding a terrorist who claims Bungee and Microsoft's Halo made him train terrorists. In other world news, a stupid little girl in Britain learns a valuable lesson about explosive grenades thanks to her Green Day American Idiot T-shirt. The highly anticipated Transformers movie with be released the same day along with the video game, though no screens available just yet. Then we open the flood gates on those little piggly 'sum bitch Scientologists when we bash their cult, uh that is religion, and a wacky security guard with a camera. Retirethepenny.org teaches us that even our smallest unit of currency is too damn expensive. Can we get a fuck ya, America; Allow the glowy green goodness of our case mod link to set the tone for our weekly public awareness campaign in this week's WTF is Wrong With Japanese People. A tiny link shows you that our favorite anime, Dragonball Z, has more than likely reached the end in Japan. And to add cock thrusting to injury, Razor Ramon a.k.a. Hard Gay shows us just what to do to get a child to eat their veggies….that's right folks…thrust cock into face and repeat. Take us out Jimmy Hendrix with our nation's anthem The Star Spangled Banner!

Episode 15: Saved By The Penguin

Saturday, July 1st, 2006
Penguin Super Show coming at you this week with talks about Superman Returns, Spiderman 3 Teaser Trailer, and poor Mike still not seeing X-men: The Last Stand.
We also discussed Bill Gates upcoming retirement from his duties aboard the U.S.S. Titanic….sorry Microsoft and the coming of Apocalypse with the recent fusion of Dell and AMD. We learned Dustin Diamond, a.k.a. Screech from Saved by the Bell pimps his likeness on t-shirts in an effort to save his home and found a funny video of a woman flirting on a subway, mimicking the guy in front of her.
Of course what would an episode of TTCPSS be without the standard issue Sony bashing, problems, and blind insanity of the once top dog in the video game industry.
Then, we blow your mind with more craziness from the land of the rising sun and dragons on this week's WTF is Wrong With Japanese people featuring Japan CO2 solving problem, there's no sex in the Japan Champagne room, and Wake Up Call Pranks.'
Wrapping up with our tirade and disdain of different sects of people including but not limited to Scientology and their fake religion, Lesbo's are all dikes, Mexicans aren't real people, Hello Kitty is Stupid, Para Para is F-ing Stupid, and of course good old Japanese people. Guess we'll just use the profits from our Circuity City video game sale plug to fend off the lawsuits from Tom Cruise, Rosie O'Donnell, Julio and Manuel, and pretty much all of Japan…
