Otalia Trivia: Liz vs. Dani

 
Direct Download: paavtrivia.mp3

We turned over the keys to the trivia batmobile to Lana and Porter, guest Alex Trebek-ing for us.

Who would emerge victoriously from a throwdown battle of obscure Otalia trivia, detail slut Liz, or quote master Dani? Will the outcome of this battle drive a wedge through the podcast partners?

Thanks to Lana and Porter and all the people who emailed their hardest questions – we have an answer. TGIF, ya’ll!

So, last week was huge- and this week we wanted to get back to our roots. You guys. We started this to have fun and play around with other Otalia goofballs so this week we organized a nice little game of trivia. Thanks to Toaster and Ana who were our lucky victims / participants.

Also back to our roots is being late on Friday. Deal.

How did we manage to spend 55 minutes talking about 10 minutes of screentime? We’re awesome, that’s how. Luckily for us CC was up to the task of looking hot while playing emotional devastation. The least we can do is sit up and take notice.

Notes:

- Dimples watch: week 2 without JL down!

- If Crystal Chappell were a six-pack of beer, what brand would she be? (WTH Dani? WTH?)

- Seriously, whats with EJs thumb?

- Clearly, we’re feeling uninspired notes wise this week…

- Stuff we talked about – Soapgeist – Guiding Twilight

We’re putting together an Otalia Trivia Contest Podcast, and we need some people to be contestants. If you’re interested, email us. We promise it will be rad.

PaaV + Keener, bitch!

Wait, we got Elizabeth Keener to talk to us? It may have involved some top secret favors to Tello Films. We can’t divulge. Who cares, really. She totally did – and she answered fan questions submitted to @tellofilms and @pancakesvalium on twitter. Thanks to everyone who submitted!

So how did that whole “my lover Cindy” thing on the L word come about? What was her worst job? And which would she rather do, lick peanut butter off a homeless man’s foot, or eat a live goldfish?

The answers await you!

P.S. – I feel like we’re going to get attacked by homeless men who resent the negative representation of their feet. If any homeless men are reading this, I’d like you to know that question was ALL Liz.

PaaV is wowed by Tina Sloan

Somehow we saved enough kittens from burning buildings in our past life to have the distinct pleasure of chatting with Tina Sloan. She even played “Would You Rather?” like a champ – clearly, there are few people cooler than her. If it sounds a little choppy it’s because the minute we mentioned Otalia, she had a lot to say, and asked us to cut some of it. We would apologize, but it’s Tina Freakin’ Sloan, she can officially do whatever she likes on our podcast.

- Be aware, Tina gave us some very loose spoilers. I know many of you are spoiler free – so listen at your own risk. Now, Liz has a beautiful people clause in her spoiler freeness, that if a beautiful person gives it to me – its fine. I’d suggest having a beautiful people clause in your own contracts as well.

- Tina Sloan on twitter

- When Tina Sloan tells you to do something, you do it.

PaaV Podcast #13

I think we got most of our ranting out last week, so this week we’re happy to get back to some analysis of things that don’t suck. Like cheeseburgers, Doris and Olivia’s road trip, and Crystal Chappell in earth tones. I’m still waiting for Liz to pull a Streetcar Named Desire under my window, but for now, Olivia’s version will have to do.

- We want to thank everyone so much for all the awesome comments and emails last week. Even if you don’t agree with everything we say, or anything we say, or even like us at all – we love the conversation. So thanks for it all lovelies.

- We forgot word for the week this week, and then we got lazy and decided not to clip it in- so sue us.

- Yeah, I’m a ho, shut up, Elizabeth Keener on Sunday! Don’t forget to tweet your questions to @tellofilms and/or @pancakesvalium.

- Tina Sloan will be with us on Friday. How that happened, we have no idea. All these rad peeps coming on the pod. So awesome! We’re not worthy. Okay, maybe Liz is.

- Stuff we talked about:
– Vintage Ads are Fun
– 10 Commandments for Soap Writers
– Lana + Tina = BFF

- That’s Liz’s super adorable kid making her podcast debut at the end there. In case you don’t speak two year old, she’s telling me how distraught she is about this spawn baby. “No babies for Otalia, what were they thinking?” I tried to tell her to just wait and let it play out, she said no, she’s bitter about BAM or Big Bird or something…

TGIF peeps! The glorious weekend is upon us, but more importantly, we have PaaV Friday stuff. After last pod’s rantfest 2009 (all justified, of course), we decided to go light and fluffy and have some fun, “Would You Rather?” style with our friends Kish, Nathalie, and dj. Play along and we’ll see you lovelies Monday.

Heres the skinny on the Keener interview. We’ll have her for a bit on Sunday the 19th. Tweet @tellofilms with your questions, and we’ll tweet @pancakesvalium when we sit down with her to ask your questions (yeah, so its a phone interview blahblahblah- I’ll be sitting- thats all I’m saying- she’s welcome to do whatevs- she’s Elizabeth Keener!!). The goal is to have 100% fan questions, so put on your thinking caps! We’ll also talk with Bakes and Nicole a bit about their time at Out Fest and all the rad treats they’ll have coming up for us on Tello. But mostly its just about Keener.

Our podcast just got 400% cooler.

Elizabeth Keener!!!

PaaV Podcast #12

Eggs, donuts, tube socks, and PaaV podcasts! All now available in dozens. Normally 5 days of Otalia would have us dancing in our unicorn pajama pants, but no. It was a hard week, but wine and ranting seem to have helped. Join us as we discuss blowing kisses, modern art orgies, and the many WTF moments of the week. If you’re looking for sunshine and bullshit, shop elsewhere, we’re fresh out.

- Liz was not drunk, just a moron. Please excuse my name misstep around 33 minutes. Obviously, Tue opened with Frank and Olivia. I’ll take my whippings now please.

- Dani would normally apologize for her drunkenness, but given this week, it’s a miracle wine was the only substance imbibed. I would, however, like to say how amazing and wonderful Liz was this week in being able to edit my rantings (many repeated) into something that resembles coherence. No poaching, she’s mine.

- However, Liz is a terrible person and didn’t watch all of Fridays show pre-podcast recording because time just didn’t allow it. WTF Buzz and Lillian? They get implied making out in the bushes at a family function and our girls can’t get a kiss on the cheek? This rant made me google to see if Buzz and Lillian had a fan site (none that I found) and I found their channel on youtube. I don’t know why this pleases me, but it does. But seriously, they get semi public implied making out and we get a blown kiss. Um. No. Not ok.

- Dani would also like to clarify one particular rant, about Bizzie getting to make out, etc. I realize they’re been through their own lengthy version of hell, however, the obstacles they’re currently facing, they’re facing together while sucking face. Yes, it’s bumpy, but they makeout. Constantly. They’ve also had the luxury of lots of time.

- Pepto Bismol. Perfect product tie in this week for so many reasons. Stock up y’all!

- Fanvids we talked about. ‘All That She Wants’ & ‘Lets Get Physical’ Share your own stress busting remedies / favorite fan vids in the comments.

- The amazing Christin informed me this morning that”Monkeys Paw” is a short story. (Probs something I could have googled and discovered, but whatevs) So, there ya go.

Its been a tough, angsty, somewhat frustrating week. Whos up for some “Would you Rather?” with Lana from Superhero Lunchbox? We managed to talk a little Guiding Light as well – San Cristobel shenanigans and all.

Just when we think we’ve figured out the sound, we jack it up again. I need to say something smart and funny because we have an echo issue, but this is about all Im feeling. I killed it as much as possible but not entirely. Sorry guys.
