[thesdchargers1]

heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy its me ur bro

[TerriJFreedman]

This is bangin'! 5* for creativity 5* for doing about a year's worth of work in 1 episode! I'd enjoy a follow-up vid or an episode with more time-defying accomplishments packed in.

@TerriJFreedman u r a dumb ass

[lostdreamer1089]

I vote for the script you've decided to write on, so..the marriage one.

ALSO, good job, all that hustling and bustling will pay off!

[zenitramsolrac]

I'm a dumbass for falling behind, sorry, sorry sorry. But as you know Monte's a busy, busy fella, for what it's worth I do feel real bad for falling behind and not watching last week's show. (to put things into perspective, I didn't call back "that one hot chick" and uh, well... I wasn't even fazed. But missing "2.0" does inspire a twinge of guilt... Thanks Eric. Yeah, thanks a lot. :-P). P.S. do you think that was too much info to put in parentheticals? I think I talk to much in my asides.

[lifedoesntimitate000]

Yes, you are a dumbass. And also, yes, that was way too much information to put in parentheticals. But I've figured out a way for you to make it up to me. To me... and the world. Linking onto your name up there, I am taken to your youtube page... where I discover that zenitramsolrac is indeed not subscribed to any channels, including musecast. So, you know, get on that, and we'll call it even.

Thank you so much for watching. I didn't know that you do, but it's delightful to me.

[MuseCast5]

Listen, if I don't feel like wearing pants, then I don't have to. Don't tell me what to do.

YES Papasan!

I love the cameo :)

-Graham

[lifedoesntimitate000]

Two things: I didn't say you HAVE to wear pants; just that you should. And trust me, you should, generally speaking. And two: Obviously I wasn't talking about you. I mean, clearly YOU can go pantsless whenever you want. Duh.

-- Eric 2.0

[sivartis]

I disagree. Graham is one of the lucky ones who should *rarely* wear pants.

~Trav

[sivartis]

HAHAH! I'm so jealous of your super-secret surprise ending.

I showed that agent book in one of my episodes... so, wow. Musecast is already recycling content in Season 2? ok, I guess, whatever. :-)

~Trav

Also, you ARE good. I enjoyed seeing you perform in that CD workshop. Nice.

[lifedoesntimitate000]

I'm glad you approve of the ending. When you asked about a cameo for yourself, I was super-tempted to tell you, but I bit my tongue. We are recycling. Wow, season two of musecast is almost as bad as season two of HEROES. BOOM! HEROES just felt the wrath of Eric! How's that feel, HEROES?! Huh?

Thank you for thinking I'm good. You said when you don't have a compliment, you just keep your mouth shut, and I realized you kept your mouth shut that night, so I wasn't sure. Thank you.

-- Eric 2.0

[sivartis]

Did I conspicuously not comment that night?  I didn't mean to... not. Comment. I thought your performance was very good. There, I've said it twice, now. In a public forum! What does *that* mean??

~Trav

[Tastypulse]

Phone #? Well Eric, you did just give us your whole name, so I s'pose it's not too hard to look you up in the yellow pages or anything:-P

Yaay!  I liked the newly-married guy story better:)

Papasan chair? Izzat what they're called? Why everyone loves a papasan chair!:)

-Frank

[lifedoesntimitate000]

Please! Like I'd put my name and number in the phone book. As if. I mean, heh heh, that's just so patently ridiculous an idea that for you to look in the phone book for my name and number would just prove how dumb you are. Because it's not even there. Totally. Totally not there. So don't even look. 'Cause you don't wanna be dumb, do you? No. No you don't.

Papasan, papasan! More like "papawesome". Or not. Yeah, they pretty much rock.

-- Eric 2.0

[Bdwn411]

You are rocking these videos!! I love how much you are able to put in in just 4 minutes!! Keep up the good work...ps...I want a cameo sometime! :-)

[MuseCast5]

Well, thank you kindly, sir. I know you don't often comment on these things, so I consider it an honor that you chose to comment here. As for the amount of content, I'm sure I'll run out soon. It's funny, because I usually have an idea that I think will work for a four minute thing, and then I end up with closer to five minutes of content, so I have all these little bits on my computer that I had to take out for time, which without context just make no sense.

-- Eric 2.0

[cafrinej]

I just keep watching this one... it is so, so much fun. :) LOVE the pullback/reveal (if I do say so myself)!

[MuseCast5]

I like when you keep watching. That means I win! And yes, you rocked the pullback/reveal. The ultimate in low tech, indeed.

-- Eric 2.0

[junkpuppet]

ROTFL! That was excellent! I don't think I remembered to vote in the screenplay vote, but thankfully you've decided to work on the idea I liked best. :) And "yay" for Helenna cameo!

[MuseCast5]

Aww, thanks. And that's okay about not voting. If you had, it wouldn't've been a tie, so I wouldn't've been able to do that HILARIOUS Typing the Type bit, which wouldn't've then resulted in my overuse of the made up word "wouldn't've".

-- Eric 2.0

[sivartis]

WHich only supports a long-standing stance of mine that double contractions are perfectly fine. Though my vote was for the Henry Winkler script. This feels like a betrayal... Maybe.

~T

[dinanana87]

Haha...that is my purple chair!! See you tomorrow Eric. You will have to take me to Samuel French sometime...Yay for choice number 2!!

[MuseCast5]

Do you have a papasan, too? Ours is actually green, but with a purple sheet. It's funny because I was going to superimpose something that said, "Look Graham. I have a papasan, too," because he showed his off this week as well. Then we three would've been like, the Papasan Brigade... or something less lame-sounding.

-- Eric 2.0

[jessicajoy24]

Nice Eric, and I do remember Travis Tuesday saying that career expenses are tax write-offs, correct? Either way, good video and good job walking the walk. I especially enjoyed "Working the workshop"!

[MuseCast5]

You know, I'm actually not sure about the tax write-off thing. But if Travis said it, I'd take his word.

Thank you. I really like Working the Workshop as well. I'm glad you mentioned that one in particular, because it says to me that viewers are okay with me not just being funny the whole time. Thank you.

-- Eric 2.0

[sivartis]

Sweet. See, Eric? Someone remembers me saying something. She doesn't seem to remember me talking about that book, but whatever, I totally did.

(luv ya, Jessica!) :-)

~Trav

[jules7485]

HEHEHE!! I loved this one!!!YaY for #2

- JULIE

[MuseCast5]

Hmmm... I just responded to your comment, but it seems to have vanished. At any rate, I basically said, "Sure, yay for # 2 and all, but mostly yay for Julie. Yay, you. I'm glad you're watching."

-- Eric 2.0

[helennasantoslevy]

hmmm.....my first message was disappeared.....weird.....so here it is again!

YAY!!!! That's all I have to say! YAY!!!

xoxo

Helenna

P.S. I'll also be "typing the type" today ;)

[helennasantoslevy]

oops...i mean it disappeared, not "was" disappeared...... sleeeeeepy....zzzz

[lifedoesntimitate000]

Actually, I think but am not sure, that something actually can be disappeared. It's the act of being made to disappear. "The magician disappeared the pretty girl." I think. At any rate, I just turned cameo into a verb, so... there ya go.

A "friend" of mine once said, "Oh, yeah. You can wordify anything; you just have to verb it."

-- Eric 2.0

[lifedoesntimitate000]

Yay, Helenna. Thank you so much for cameo-ing. Was it weird for you to see it all put together, not knowing how your piece was going to fit in?

-- Eric 2.0

[helennasantoslevy]

not weird at all....joyous in fact.... and yes Eric 2.0....my mom LOVED it!

xoxo

H

P.S. I love you mom, if you're reading this post.... xoxo

[JasonR02]

Musecast crossover! Yes Eric, you do walk the walk. Great episode. I do want to send a word of warning to all actors watching this. The Samuel French store is both amazing and evil. It has so many resources and a huge library of plays and screenplays to read. That is the amazing part. The evil part, its tempting to spend your entire paycheck in there.

Okay, back to the musecast. I'm glad you chose play #2.

[lifedoesntimitate000]

Thank you. Also about Samuel French: the employees are sometimes... how to say it... douche-y. Not all of them, but sometimes they're like, "I'm better than you, and I make sure you know it." And one time, I'm not even making this up, the guy behind the counter totally adopted a weird and clearly fake accent. Be warned.

Any decent human being would buy their books at Barnes & Noble, where Members always save 10% to 40% as well as getting email coupons for an extra 15% to 50% off.

If Barnes & Noble doesn't have the book, they can order it for you and ship it to you for free.

There are no "douche-y" employees at Barnes & Noble, but some of them should take voice lessons and learn to modulate their voices, as some of them are quite dreadfully loud and have rather dead common speech patterns.

[MuseCast5]

I love ya, Roy. Weirdly, this was one of your more lucid responses, and yet I have no idea who you're talking about with the dead common speech patterns.

-- Eric 2.0

[Roycru]

Then again, you do know who the dreadfully loud ones are....the ones who are projecting to the back row when there is no back row to project to.

Still waiting for you to try to open your eyes as wide and go as long without blinking as the Monday boy (the one named after a cracker).

At least you are named after a Viking.

Also wondering why anyone would waste money seeing "Twilight' or "Quantum Of Solace" when they could watch your MuseCast5 posts for free.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

[HurricaneHeidi]

I've just seen "Quantum of Solace" for free. I thought the editing was self-consciously rapid and it gave me a headache. The film's best feature was its special fx. The leading man was as warm and erotic as a rock.

I also watched "Frost/Nixon" for free. Now THAT is Oscar material... kudos to Ron Howard AGAIN. Interesting that the actor who portrayed Prime Minister Tony Blair in "The Queen" also portrayed David Frost in "Frost/Nixon" ... both A+ character studies RE power and privilege.
