it's a race to remind you of days i can't find

Hey, if you're into hearing the sound of my smooth chocolately voice, point your browser to Taste of the Goods tonight at 7PM Eastern Standard Time, and tune in.

I'm talking about Dancing Barefoot, Shark vs. Croc, and some other stuff that's so top secret, I don't even know what it is.

We had a huge influx of new people listening to Taste of the Goods tonight thanks to Wil Wheaton. Wil was nice enough to put a link to our site on his front page. I really appreciate that. He didn't... [Read More]

Oops.

Fixed it. :)

Is it dark or milk chocolate? 'Cause you know that white really isn't chocolate. I'm assuming with nuts, right? :)-

Sarasota, eh? Ask him what Pee Wee's up to these days.

If I'm looking at my satellite menu correctly, TechTV's Unscrewed with Martin Sargeant has Wil on it tonight. 10:30 pm Central time.

You really shouldn't use the phrase 'my smooth chocolately voice' when I'm reading it in the middle of eating a Ghiradelli chocolate brownie. :)

(First time poster, love your blog now that I've been reading it for a while. I look forward to your posts!)

Posted by: Alix T. at March 25, 2004 03:06 PM

mmmmmm...chocolate....
Will listen, for sure! Thanks, velvety chocolate boy!

Posted by: Tina at March 25, 2004 03:12 PM

I feel the "Caveman vs Astronaut" topic should be mentioned. It's socially relevant. In fact it's the debate that's sweeping the nation.

It's a sign of the times my friend.

Posted by: Kane at March 25, 2004 03:23 PM

Is it just me, or are the real, wm, and winamp links all busted... I didn't try the mac link but everything else fails.

Posted by: Mark at March 25, 2004 04:09 PM

The Mac link gave me a .m3u file, and I am listening to it now through iTunes.

Posted by: wil at March 25, 2004 04:11 PM

Okay, I've got these lunatics streaming through my TiVo. Bring on the Chocolatey voice!

Posted by: Clay at March 25, 2004 04:15 PM

Winamp's working fine for me.

Posted by: Brandi at March 25, 2004 04:15 PM

winamp link is working for me, although all I hear is endless chatter and no Uncle Willie. You sure you're talking tonight Wil? :)

Posted by: erik at March 25, 2004 04:17 PM

Listening right now, seems to be going really well. They're giving Wil plenty of time to talk and the questions are sufficiently open-ended to have interesting answers.

Posted by: Nugget at March 25, 2004 04:33 PM

Your voice was definately smooth and chocolatey!! :) Great job Wil!!! I was one of the 90 increased listeners tonight!

Posted by: Jen at March 25, 2004 05:42 PM

Hey - tuned in to the show. it was really geat. thanks for sharing yet more, Wil!

Posted by: Amanda at March 25, 2004 05:43 PM

Go you! Wil's Chocolatey smooth voice ROCKS!
Glad to have a listen to you Wil.

Posted by: Kaylin at March 25, 2004 05:44 PM

Hey, I heard you on Taste of the Goods! You kicked A$$, man.

Posted by: Sigerson at March 25, 2004 05:45 PM

I finally summoned up the nards to call and i couldn't get through!!! Argh! LOL

Posted by: Kane at March 25, 2004 05:46 PM

Gomen, Kane-san! :)

Posted by: Brandi at March 25, 2004 05:49 PM

Hey Wil, thanks for sharing about your relationship with the boys. It was great having a chance to speak to you if even for a few. Thanks for being so personable and open to your fans.

Posted by: Nick from Orlando at March 25, 2004 05:50 PM

My roommate and I sent a question by e-mail, but they only answered call-ins. LAME.
It's probably a good thing, since our question was really just a request for you to sing Stand By Me on the air.
Heh.

Posted by: Sarah at March 25, 2004 05:51 PM

I tuned in about halfway through. What I heard was great though. I loved the part where you went into your character's voice.

Posted by: Andrew at March 25, 2004 05:54 PM

Great job on the show tonight, Wil! I really enjoyed hearing your smooth, oh-so-chocolatey voice. Glad to've helped raise up the number of listeners by ninety! ;D

Posted by: Elyse at March 25, 2004 05:55 PM

Brandi-San! :p

Posted by: Kane at March 25, 2004 05:58 PM

Correction - Brandi-chan!

Here you go, Wil - you can start saying "I'm sorry" in japanese. Sumimasen = I am sorry. (Yes, I watch too much anime. It's an addiction, what can I say?)

Anyone know "I'm sorry" in German? :)-

Posted by: Brandi at March 25, 2004 06:09 PM

Hey Wil. I'm a usual TOTG listener and I just wanted to leave a comment to say that you are awesome. Just because our stream reached 105 listeners at it's peak today.

Just plain awesome.

Cool... tho trying to remember what that translates into pacific time wise.(and hope it plays nice with linux... some stations online sites don't like xmms for whatever reason) :) I've still not figured out what that Shark vs Crock thing is tho it sounds intresting. Sounds like a sci fi battle or something. :) (or that battling robots thing)

Btw thanks again for the doink doink. :)

Posted by: Celticess at March 25, 2004 07:15 PM

According the the Unscrewed newsletter, you're on the show tonight.

Posted by: brendoman at March 25, 2004 08:01 PM

Wil, the tone and pitch of your voice, the inflections in your words...just the general manner in which you speak (clear and concise, predominantly intelligent with little hint of self doubt) leave me with a tough time thinking of your voice as being "smooth chocolately"

"Dark and Smooth Guinessy" maybe... :)

Posted by: WebNuT! at March 25, 2004 08:38 PM

And if you want to see he shining face, come visit My Trek Expo 2003 page

Or go directly to his photo page

Wil, you have the singular honor of being the only celebrity I thought enough of to put a picture of on the intro page.

These photos are from Wil's appearance at Trek Expo 2003... Come back soon, Wil.

Posted by: Uncle Bubby (Joe) at March 25, 2004 08:41 PM

hey wil, what about your interview on techtv? it was good btw tho your lookin kinda rough, ya need ta get some rest.

Posted by: Carbon at March 25, 2004 08:55 PM

I really liked the show tonight, Wil, excellent job!

I especially liked what you said about how parents should not try to be their child's friend. My current step-father has never once attempted to be a father-figure since he married my mother and, even though I'm now out of the house, I find it really annoying. The man refuses to punish my kid brother when he does something wrong for fear that my brother won't like him anymore. He *so* doesn't get the point of the word 'parent'.

Posted by: Jessica D. at March 25, 2004 11:06 PM

Good luck with that Wil. You have a great face for voiceovers. hehe. Just to let you know, Toy Soldiers continues to garnish scandalizing news report.

http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/03/24/1079939717905.html?from=storyrhs

Look at what was playing when they showed this controversial tv spot.

Toy Soldiers Scandal

Posted by: Ketih Coogan at March 26, 2004 06:58 AM

I hate to sidetrack this comments board but I agree with the people who protested. There should be some accountability for advertisers. When you have a product like lingerie you should think before you buy that spot in the middle of a movie geared to children.

Posted by: Jenn at March 26, 2004 08:34 AM

Heh... IF you want to hear another fine example of Wil's chocolately voice, you might want to mosey on over to UserFriendly.org and click this little clicky [.wav file].

By the way, Wil, thanks for doing that. All your loyal fans on UF have been waiting. :D

Posted by: Llyr at March 26, 2004 09:43 AM

Wil -

How do I add this comment-spam control to my blog?

Thanks.

Posted by: Cyrus J. Farivar at March 26, 2004 12:41 PM

oh you fucking assholes...I am not spammer for chris sake..I just wanted to show great writing to you fools.
It's here...Oh nevermind...Go, go, just go away..

I wont tell you more about that...

Posted by: Dadoo at March 26, 2004 01:36 PM

Jenn - I agree with you on your point. But, Toy Soldiers isn't really a movie geared towards kids. It's about a terrorist organization that takes the student body of a prep school hostage. Lots of cursing, blood, violence, calls to phone sex hotlines, and Keith Coogan using an inhaler.

Posted by: Scott at March 26, 2004 01:54 PM

Just ordered Dancing Barefoot today...looking forward to reading it, only sorry that I can't hear you tonight as I won't be home in time.

Posted by: Lainie P. at March 26, 2004 02:26 PM

Hey, I missed the show. Is there any way to get it, or am I just outta luck?

Posted by: Metus at March 26, 2004 07:22 PM

For people who missed the show, I'll put the archive on the front page later on tonight.

Posted by: Scott at March 26, 2004 07:48 PM
