This basically sums up a lot of my frustrations with US foreign policy.



This video may die in the future, so here's a link to a downloadable version.

A short clip from the Barats and Bereta Pilot airs tonight on NBC during Scrubs. You can tune in at 9:30 and watch for it during one of the commercial breaks, or you can go to www.nbc.com/shortcuts and see the clip right now. Luke would appreciate it if you all at least clicked on the link, and if you signed up to receive more information that ( Read more... )

Oh, and baratsandbereta.com now has a podcast. Here's the feed, or click here to subscribe to it in iTunes. It'll probably end up crashing the server, but until then, enjoy.

Hey there. You gotta figure that if I'm posting, it's of massive importance. Well it is. Mike Nelson, of Mystery Science Theater 3000 fame, has started a new business called RiffTrax. It's basically MST3K in mp3 form - you pay to download Mike's sure-to-be-funny commentary, and then you have it playing while watching the correct movie. The first ( Read more... )

I spent the latter portion of the evening over at Slick's watching an amateur comedy competition. Joe and Luke of www.baratsandbereta.com fame ranked first, so they're moving on to the semi-finals sometime next week. If you're in Spokane and over 21, you should definitely try and check them out at the Brickwall Comedy Club. Further details as I get ( Read more... )
