Jim and A.Ron watched and podcasted about a lot of TV in 2014. We decided throw all of those shows into a ring and let them battle it out to find our top 10 shows of 2014. Here's the first half of the debate that created that list.
We’re excited for Christmas, and we’ve decided to a bunch of cool things for our Club Bald Move members, and this is one of those things. Each (business) day we’re going to pull a shot off the old Bald Move Boozemas tree, drink it down, and then sing a verse of “The 25 Days of Bald Move Christmas”, and then gab a bit.
Day two of the 25 Days of Bald Move Christmas rolls on! If you want to stuff our stocking with Christmas cheer, drop us a line at [email protected] or on the VIP section of our forum. We’re open for suggestions on activities or song lyrics. I think Dr. Ken has talked us into downing our 3 weekend shots before each LWJ&A in December, so THAT should be fun.
Hey there! Merry Day 3 of the 25 Days of Bald Move Christmas!! We’ve strung up a bit more lights in the old studio, and admire some of the fan cards we’ve been getting, pull another couple of bottles off the tree, and unleash our third verse. as always, if you want to stuff our stocking with Christmas cheer
Whooo! We get our weekend started off RIGHT by power slamming 3 Days of Christmas, which of course means three grabs of booze of the old tree. This led to a memorable Lunch with Jim and A.Ron, which we recorded immediately after. Well, I don’t think I’m going to remember a bit of it, but you know, it’s recorded, so there’s that. 3 days, 3 drinks, 3 new versus of our song, and we’ll see you Monday as we resume our countdown to Xmas!
Thanks Dr. Ken for the inspiring suggestion to do our 3 Days of Christmas drinks on Friday just before LWJ&A, because it was a banging idea. This is the result. We discuss Jim’s very A.Ron Thanksgiving, Salty JW’s in our mail bag, rebound headaches, Stephen King’s deep and abiding fear of motor vehicles, Drew Carey and Bob Barker, and honestly God only knows what.
It’s day seven of our Days of Christmas extravaganza! We talk about bad drinking experiences, share some fan artwork and cool stuff, and A.Ron shows how family Christmas pictures can go bad at the claws of a crazed feline. And of course, we grab another pair of bottles down from our tree and deploy another day’s worth of our new Xmas carol.
It’s day eight of our 25 Days of Christmas extravaganza! Today we discuss how disgusting licorice-flavored booze is, where it spawns from and what that town’s name actually means. And of course, we grab another pair of bottles down from our tree and deploy another day’s worth of our new Xmas carol.
DAY NINE, SUCKA! Our 25 Days of Christmas waits for nobody. We got fan mail, we got fan gifts, we got gag gifts, we settle debates on Christmas movies, and we drink another bomb from the old Christmas tree. And we’ll be back tomorrow for more!
It’s day ten of our 25 Days of Christmas extravaganza! Today we recap the festival of lights and show off a pair cards from a die hard fan. And of course, we grab another pair of bottles down from our tree and deploy another day’s worth of our new Xmas carol.
It’s days 11, 12 and 13 of our Days of Christmas extravaganza! There’s not much time to sing all this song and drink all this booze while still showing off the cards that have come in so we’re hustling along. Christmas waits for no one.
We’re fourteen days into this Days of Christmas thing, and our tree’s looking a bit booze-bare. Might have to hang some traditional ornaments up, or armed mousetraps, something to spice things up. But, we still got a bunch of fan contributions and verses to sing and bottles to drink extravaganza!
It’s day fifteen of our Days of Christmas thingamajig! Can you believe it?! A.Ron shows of a Star Wars themed gift, and a listener present in the form of fine photography, and we take another slug and sing another verse. See you tomorrow!
It’s day sixteen of our Days of Christmas extravaganza! In this episode, Jim gets shot, we share some more sweet fan cards and art, and of course, we grab another pair of bottles down from our tree and deploy another day’s worth of our new Xmas carol.
It’s day seventeen of our Days of Christmas extravaganza, and the guy’s thoughts are of a galaxy far, far away. It’s Star Wars eve! We’ll be back tomorrow with full podcast coverage, but today we got Han Solo ornaments, and more Christmas cheer and caroling.
It’s days 18, 19 and 20 of our Days of Christmas extravaganza! That means 3 shots and we’re rolling into lunch.
It’s the home stretch! The 21st Day of Christmas rolls on! We recorded the remaining segments on a cold and rainy 21st of December in the Bald Move studio, before taking off our pants and settling in for a week or two of feasting, relaxing, and spending time with friends and loved ones. Hope you enjoy, and as always, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Hope you enjoy, and as always, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Ho ho ho! It’s the big night! Day 24 of the Days of Christmas finds us with a spooky reading of some fan poetry for American Horror Story, because why not? We also look back at the Ghost of Bald Move past as a fan presents us with a home made “best of” from our old Blue Yonder days. We’ll be back tomorrow with our 25th and final day; in the meantime, better double check your stockings and make sure Santa has his milk and cookies!
With our hearts swelled three sizes, we offer our best wishes for a Merry Christmas or Yule season, or just to the end of a great 2015, as we close out the Days of Bald Move Christmas! If you haven’t already, check out all these sick Christmas cards we got from our Club members this year! Jim and I cannot thank you enough for sharing in our love of television and success throughout the last year, and today is a time to reflect on how lucky we are, and to say “thank you” from the bottoms of our hearts. Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year to all!

In light of our recent visit to Podcast Movement as well as some stats measurement changes, we feel it's time to revisit the topic of advertising in this week's Empire Business. We cover everything from an update on our success / failures with advertising, the overall podcast advertising metrics, and even our opinions on the way podcast advertising is handled.
As we move out of the studio we've been in for the past 2 years, we thought we'd give a quick tour of our technical setup as well as all of the decorations and other stuff you don't get to see in our usual videos. This space has served us well but the next studio will be bigger, better, and hopefully more professional.
All 8 days of Paul Giamatti’s One-Man Manger. Merry Christmas, everyone!
Welcome to the annual Baldies Awards, the most prestigious Cincinnati-based podcast fake awards show on the planet, where we honor the outstanding achievements in film, television, and Bald Move podcasting for the year! This is the main event, the 2018 Baldies Awards Ceremony proper. Once again we don our most formal t-shirts to hand out the Baldie gold to those deserving. Who takes home the top prize for Drama and Actor? There is sure to be fun and controversy along the way!
Last year Jim and I endured 24 hours of the movie Groundhog Day, which meant we watched the film roughly 4,328 times. This year we resolve to swashbuckle our way through the entire Star Wars movie catalog, in chronological order! Live! For 24 hours! Non-stop! In the brief interludes between movies, we’ll be watching segments of the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special to bring that little bit of extra pain.
To celebrate our recent passing the big 50 millionth podcast downloaded milestone, we take to the mics to answer all the burningest questions our loyal listeners have for us. Our past, Bald Move's future, our opinions on everything, who we'd cast in movies about ourselves. Thanks to everyone who's ever downloaded a pod and for all the love and support! See you at 100 million!
Hey everybody. We have had to temporarily take down the ability to sign up new Club members because shady bags of crap were using our system to automatically test tens of thousands of stolen credit cards. This does not affect any Club member, your account wasn't compromised, and none of your card information was stolen, but it cost us a lot of money and we're taking down Club sign ups until we get a fix in place to keep this from happening. We think we'll have that by the weekend. Existing Club members should not be impacted at all, and renewals should process unless your credit card has expired.
Welcome back to the Empire Business, a podcast series designed to give you a more transparent look into the day to day decisions and inner workings of Bald Move, exclusively for our club members.

We're started a feature designed to give you a more transparent look into the day to day decisions and inner workings of the Bald Move empire, exclusively for our club members. In honor of one of the all-time great series and the one that gave us our start, we're calling it Empire Business. It isn't meant to be a regular weekly feature, it's more of a "whenever we have something interesting to talk about and remember to turn the mics on" kind of thing. We hope you enjoy it.
People send us cool stuff all the time, and we wanted to give thanks and show off said cool stuff. How do? A mailbag video!
