However, our amazing friend Ms. Tina Sloan’s show, Changing Shoes, is coming to Hotlanta! September 25th to October 8th If you are there, you need to go see it. If you are almost there- get your ass in the car and go see it. I’ve been told its chock full of GL clips and stories, as if you needed more motivation to go hear more about Tina’s amazing life. She is so fun, we all want to be her when we grow up. Check out the site, go see the play, live and be merry, buy some new shoes for the occasion.

We’ll see you Monday you gorgeous podcast listener you!

For this super delectable Friday fun day, we offer you outtakes. You’re welcome! The first few minutes are various outtakes from early podcasts (which is why the audio is so crazy different) – and the last bit is from last weeks 15 min giggle / tease fest that spontaneously combusted while attempting to record our outro. We kinda crack ourselves up.

edited to add: The real “I’m Smart” scene – Fredo Corleone.

Every time Liz does one of these, Dani loves her a little more, if that’s possible.

Enjoy your weekend! We’ll see you Monday!

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.

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!!!

In honor of our 10th Podcast, Liz and I decided to come up with our top 10 Otalia episodes. Which is an awesome assignment and in some ways really easy and in others insanely hard. It’s like choosing which child you love more (okay, except if that child happens to be named Frank, Reva, Marina, Mallet, etc. etc.). There’s a wealth of awesome Otalia stuff, from subtle to overt to hilarious to heart-wrenching. A great reminder of why we love this couple.

Liz and I decided to impose one rule on ourselves: we could only choose from pre-wedding episodes. Partly because we started our podcast during the wedding week and thusly already analyzed all the following scenes to death; but partly because we’re huge whores for all the foundation laid between Olivia and Natalia which made all the wedding and post-wedding stuff so magical.

If you agree with our picks, cool and let us know. If you disagree, you are wrong.

Kidding. But seriously, these are just our favorites, and we welcome you to share your own top 10 lists in the comments.

Notes:

- Liz went for the more obscure scenes/episodes. She’s counter-culture like that.

- Dani just picked what she liked and generally went with her gut.

- Neither of us picked the “My Two Mommies” kiss! Gasp!

- Dani has promised to tally top 10’s and see which episodes were universal favorites

-Kish, who is completely awesome and knows we are too busy for our own good anymore put together a PaaV Youtube playlist! Thanks babe!!

Let ‘er rip!
