iFanboy Video - Day 1
47 Posted on Feb 12, 2009 in articles by Josh Flanagan |In lieu of a column I haven't had time to write today, I give you this.
I stumbled across this picture of Ron, Conor and myself from the day of the very first video shoot we did, taping episode #1, "Five".
Things were simpler then.

It seems like yesterday that I watched that first episode a million times to procrastinate on my school work at college... good times

subtract rest, add scruff. points for sideburn stability.

I mourn the loss of cookies.

Ron has had the sideburns since what? Dylan's first appearence in 1991?
Posted by AlexG on 02/12/09 at 07:55 PM
Sideburns are a life long commitment
Posted by drakedangerz on 02/12/09 at 08:23 PM
Ron's married?
Posted by Heroville on 02/12/09 at 09:17 PM
Hey don't beat yourselves up, I don't see a lot of difference aside from facial hair. And your gain/loss of beards could easily be covered in a pictoral of my life from one week to another. :)
Posted by Eyun on 02/12/09 at 09:18 PM
@Heroville-- No. Ron's a member of the Sinestro Corps.

This video is how I discovered iFanboy. I was still reeling from the loss of Geekdrome and "what's this? A new comic book show on Revision 3?!?" I was immediatley hooked.

Any chance we could get a "Five" show with Jimski, Paul, Sonia, and/or Mike?
Posted by Tork on 02/12/09 at 10:18 PM
Wow you guys look virtually the same as you did all those years ago.
Although your wardrobe seem to have changed slightly over the years.
Posted by TheNextChampion on 02/12/09 at 10:33 PM
@Tork - That would involve a hell of a budget and some painful logistics.
Posted by josh on 02/12/09 at 10:39 PM
@Tork - Not a video version at least.
Posted by PaulMontgomery on 02/12/09 at 10:58 PM
What, it's not like you guys look like Spock after he reset the dilithium in "Wrath of Khan" these days.
Posted by WilliamKScurryJr on 02/12/09 at 11:14 PM
@Josh-Couldn't you just use holograms?
Posted by drakedangerz on 02/12/09 at 11:15 PM
You all basically look the same.. except you look like you got more sleep back then.
Posted by voodoomama on 02/12/09 at 11:32 PM
That's... let's see... St. Louis, L.A., San Fran, and Philly?
We could always use Ron's transporter, I guess.
Or have some kind of Ustream Clusterfumble Extravaganza.
Anyway, it's irrelevant; no lens is wide enough to capture me in my current state. Related: corn chips are DELICIOUS.
Posted by Jimski on 02/12/09 at 11:39 PM
Okay, just asking.
Posted by Tork on 02/13/09 at 12:01 AM
@Jimski: Hooked on Doritos Hot Wings/Blue Cheese chips like me eh?
Posted by TheNextChampion on 02/13/09 at 12:03 AM
My personal favorite trinity you guys make me smile!!
Posted by TOS39 on 02/13/09 at 12:45 AM
It's simplier times, but the video show make a huge impact on a lot of us. Your video podcast made me rejuvenate my interest in comics. There are many other things that the show had made an impact for me, but it's a long list so i won't list them here. You guys are still the #1 podcast I must listen to on my subscribe list. You guys beat out, diggnation, TRS, 1up podcasts, Twit network and cnet stuff! Keep this going guys, there are plenty of stuff to talk about every week.
Posted by excalipoor on 02/13/09 at 02:45 AM
Now I remember why I kept saying I was scared to talk to Ron. His sideburns. It feels like I'm talking to Logan.
@josh: As for the Five with the others. Is video conferencing cost a lot of money?
Posted by excalipoor on 02/13/09 at 02:53 AM
i put that episode on constantly. i love it.
Posted by s30 on 02/13/09 at 04:41 AM
I have to admit though, I miss Two T-Shirt Josh.
Posted by Eyun on 02/13/09 at 05:01 AM
can you still fit in those jeans Josh?
Posted by edward on 02/13/09 at 05:50 AM
The secret of how they get together for the show still needs to be answered...
Posted by SunnyvaleTrash on 02/13/09 at 09:55 AM
Those aren't jeans. And yes.
I'm still a 2 shirt guy, man! It's just that dressing like JD from Scrubs isn't as hip as it once was!
Posted by josh on 02/13/09 at 10:15 AM
I often roll with the three T-shirt look, but it hasn't caught on. Maybe the shirts should be different colors? I'll work on that.
Anyway, I second the request for a top five list from the contributers (Jimski, Sonia, Paul, Mike, Mr. Dini??, and anyone else who is willing to share).
Posted by stuclach on 02/13/09 at 10:42 AM
haha wow you guys look so young!!
Posted by rayclark on 02/13/09 at 11:02 AM
Simpler, yes.
But were they better?
Posted by Diabhol on 02/13/09 at 01:14 PM
Better is a relative term.
Generally, things are better now though. The shows certainly are.
Posted by josh on 02/13/09 at 01:27 PM
How do you guys solve the logistics of your normal shows, both the podcast and the video podcast, with Ron in San Fran and connor and josh in New York?
P.S. What happened to the iFanboy Minis?
Posted by AlanRob on 02/13/09 at 05:08 PM
nothing about Scrubs was ever hip.
Posted by edward on 02/13/09 at 06:12 PM
@AlanRob: We stopped doing the iFanboy Minis. Info about it can be found here.
Posted by conor on 02/13/09 at 06:25 PM
Not even the Charlie Brown one?
Posted by chlop on 02/13/09 at 06:46 PM
I remember watching this video for the first time. When was this? January of 07. Have I been listening to this podcast for that long?
Posted by TimmyWood on 02/13/09 at 07:11 PM
Aww! How cute :)
Posted by WonderAli on 02/14/09 at 01:21 PM
Who's apartment is this? And I've always wanted to see the rest of those background paintings... the ones where we can only see the feet... any way that could happen?
Posted by ARead on 02/14/09 at 07:50 PM
It's my place. As for seeing the rest of the paintings... it's possible some day.
Posted by conor on 02/14/09 at 07:57 PM
Is that... Animal Man up top? Was that Conor's original pick before Alias booted it off?
Posted by Tork on 02/14/09 at 10:55 PM
Aww
Posted by PaperCupCowboy on 02/16/09 at 07:31 PM
I love how it looks like your each off in your own little world.
Ahh, good times I'm sure.
