  1. oh man how come I’m never around for these cool vlogger adventures!? :-P

    Great episode, I felt this overwhelming rush of … something … when I heard the roesmary’s baby theme … I’m not sure why … but I was very excited to see that building was still there and looked just as it did in the movie.

  3. Andrew is SO cute! Don’t worry Rudi, I still think you’re cute, too. This was a great dedication to Amanda. Did the place you were eating at give you free food for talking about them?

  4. David- Thanks man, I found out last night that the Dakota was also where John Lennon was shot… lost of history there!

    Matt- Yes… Zombie Jesus was indeed referenced. ;)

    Andy- Andrew IS cute! Ninja New York didn’t give us a complimentary meal, but we love them anyways… the staff was awesome and at least they let us film!

  7. Bekah- I considered censoring my language, but it just wasn’t as funny without my full reaction!

    Andrew C- You’re about as neutral as Telecom Corporations working with the US Government ;)

  8. As I was sitting here I just realized that this is the perfect videoblog! All videoblogs should be like this. Not like those cheesy videoblogs, but videoblogs that really care. ;-)

    As always I enjoyed watching Casey and Rudy, but this time I also enjoyed the acting talents of Andrew Congdon.

    He’s funy live too! Two shows nightly!

  9. This was a really good show. A light in the darkness of the Rocketboom controversy. Humor gets us through life’s bogs and ruts.

  10. Hi Casey !

    Congratulations for the great job on galacticast.com ! !
    I’m a french sci-fi geek who was longing to find such a site. I’ve discovered yours while reading the pages of the week-end edition of a french newspaper called “LibĂ©ration”. Keep on doing such an amazing work !

  12. You go Casey with the 5 finger discount! Personally, I enjoy swiping microbeer pint glasses from bars, got a damn good collection over the years.

  13. That was pretty cool. I like how you mixed the sketches with your time in NYC. That restaurant looks really cool. I must agree with Rudy a great staff makes a huge difference. It is fun to watch your humour and creativity in these posts. Keep up the great work!

  15. Ah New York, I love that town.

    I’m so jealous you got to go the the Ninja themed restaurant!

  16. Wow, Rudy and Casey. Thank you. I wasn’t ready to watch this until now… and it really is something special. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!!!!!

    Also Casey, I don’t think you should censor your language. It makes it more real for me this way. It’s not like you are swearing left and right.

    I would also like to echo Stevie G’s comment about “videoblogs that really care”. Your love for this medium makes me love watching you!
