Man, I hope this doesn't jack up the iTunes feed.
Anyway, there won't be a new show this Thursday as Mikey and I had a pile of stuff happening in our respective, glamorous lives this past week that prevented our weekly Vulcan mindmeld. But have no fear: We will be recording Episode 3 this weekend, possibly even "taping" a portion direct from Mike's sure-to-be-redonkulous birthday fete on Saturday.
As you may have noticed last week, we unveiled a new segment on the podcast called "Ask The Awesome." This is where you come in: You ask us a question. We answer (or try to) on the show. WHAMMO. Post it as a response here, on Twitter with the hashtag #pocketfulofawesome, or as a wall post on our Facebook page. Whatever, just get us your questions.
We'll also gladly take your suggestions for both topics and guests, as we know there's only so much of our two voices you can take every week (no, that's a lie).
So there you go. Stay sexy, people.

Episode 2: Revenge of the Tangent
After a most excellent launch last week, in which dozens of you actually spent an hour and a half listening to Mike and I fall in love over and over again with the sound of our own voices (thank you!!), we're back with what may go down in history as the shoddiest excuse for a podcast calling itself awesome ever made.
We can blame the technology (we did), we can blame the liquor (we did), but whatever it was, we ended up recording more than two hours of off-topic, giggling, rambling, bleary-eyed nonsense. Somehow, we whittled it down to another 1.5 hours of pure awesome. You'll find yourself giggling too, we hope, as you listen to our takes on:

The wait is over! Pocketful of Awesome is go!
Yes, attached somewhere to this post is the "podcast that is the most awesome on the internet ever." Yes, that is an actual quote from the inaugural episode. Somewhere within the one hour and 39 minutes or so of pure audio awesomeness, you'll hear Mikey Vegas and Pj Perez discuss the following nonsense:

The coming awesome storm ...
The first Pocketful of Awesome podcast is in the can, as the kids say. (The kids!) Mike and I devoted a few precious hours of our Sunday to bring you the greatest podcast about being awesome ever known in the history of podcasts. We recorded approximately two hours of pure awesome, fueled by coffee, tequila, beer, donuts and, of course, awesome sauce.
We still have to edit the raw awesome to the appropriate amount of awesome your little minds can handle, but expect to experience Episode One of Pocketful of Awesome by week's end. Get your earbuds stretched out and ready. You have been warned.
In the meantime, we're gearing up to record Episode Two, so if you have any topic suggestions or musical requests, we'll be happy to take them ... and them mock you.
Fists high!
