RIP Party Down, My First Appointment Download
Over at Housewife in Hollywood, I mourn the end of Party Down, a show whose weekly download I no longer need to schedule.
Episode #54: Ali Miller (Set On Stun)
gentlemensclubpodcast:
Gentlemen,
We recently talked random sex stuff, reality TV and the Emmys, and got behind the XXX scenes.
Now, for a first-timer into The Gentlemen’s Club: Ali Miller (Twitter.)
She’s on the advertising/marketing team for Tecmo (makers of friggin’ TecmoBowl!!), blogs on video game marketing and culture over at Set On Stun, and co-hosts the podcast: The StunCast (of...

gentlemensclubpodcast:
Gentlemen,
We last talked behind the XXX scenes and saw Tim Hammer depart the podcastosphere for Bridgeport, Connecticut. This week we’re going back to square one.
If you’ve been listening to The Gentlemen’s Club for a full year, you no doubt remember Episode #1 (though I barely do — probably a good thing) and special guest Ben Mandelker from B-Side Blog. Ben’s back...
Me vs. Roy Yamaguchi
Recently I interviewed James Beard Award winning Chef Roy Yamaguchi over at LAist. Thumbs up to the proprietor of Roy’s Hawaiian Fusion — a joint to which I also raise both thumbs.

Episode #51: Guest Starring "Miss Magenta"
gentlemensclubpodcast:
Gentlemen,
If you’re reading this, you probably watch porn. If you want to lie, and say you don’t, you would probably at least cop to being interested in what goes on behind the scenes.
Either way, you’ll want to hear “Miss Magenta.” While that’s not her birth name, that’s her credited name as a producer on the big-enough budget new XXX porn film: Malice in...

Me vs. Bret Easton Ellis
He looks like Fatboy Slim in that picture. There, I said what you all were thinking.
I recently had a chat with Bret Easton Ellis over at LAist to help promote his new book (it’s good) Imperial Bedrooms.
While I’m a fan of his work, I’m not the superfan that some of you are. That put me in a good position for the interview and I’m pleased with how it came out. I owe...
Episode #49: The Debut of The Gentlemen's Sack
gentlemensclubpodcast:
Gentlemen,
After two Best Of episodes, we’re back for reals.
Memory Lane was nice, but let’s kick the new with the debut of The Gentlemen’s Sack — a device that’s sure to return.
Tim Hammer is The Sack’s first victim, reaching in and picking out random topics.
It doesn’t turn out very abnormal as he wastes no time talking about Vegas strippers. Good thing there’s...

Episode #46: Vegas Cab Drivers + More
gentlemensclubpodcast:
Gentlemen,
Another episode, another hodgepodge of gentlemen-inity.
Tim Hammer and I begin in his favorite place, Las Vegas. (We don’t literally begin there.) One of the world’s greatest (and whitest) hucksters is The Vegas Cab Driver. Hammer gets offered 18 year old Russian girls (alleged recent birthday celebrants.) He says no to The Cabbie. (“Too old.”)

Episode #45: The Roadtrip Wrestler Fantasy Draft

Gentlemen,
Imagine you’re taking a roadtrip.
Imagine that roadtrip involves packing famous wrestlers (male and female) into your ride.
That’s where Tim Hammer and I take this week’s show, as we mock up a fantasy draft of said entertainment sports athletes.
We also say fuck a lot, and think it’s show #46. It’s not.

Fun Times in Dodgertown
I’m back on the Dodger beat this year for LAist. While the team is sucking more than The City of Angels would like, there’s still plenty of wonderful going on at Chavez Ravine. Two pieces by me from last night:

A Weird Apple In The Park
Last week, I was hiking in Griffith Park. It was mid-day, and The Observatory grounds were filled with tourists and school field trips.
Whenever both of these groups are together in Los Angeles, you can be sure that there are hordes of panhandling drifters with outstretched cups.
Having hiked up there about a hundred times, I had been happy to conclude that the homeless seem allergic to...
Episode #42: Awkward Moments
gentlemensclubpodcast:
Gentlemen,
Tim Hammer and I recently visited a middle school. While we had a perfectly legitimate (and legal) reason for being on a junior high campus, it was still an awkward moment.
That got us thinking about more of those, which we chat about on this week’s episode of The Gentlemen’s Club.

Rule: Gentlemen Don't Spoil Sports Scores
gentlemensclubpodcast:
Gentlemen,
The Rule is back! Take a seat. It’s time for The Gentlemen’s Rule:
Gentlemen don’t spoil sports scores. There’s always that one friend that’s TiVoing a game (even though he should be home watching it.) Show that guy some respect and when he says he doesn’t want to know the score, don’t ruin it for him.
That all goes out the window if it’s a playoff...
