On the Rocks: Ep 2 - Gwen Stefani/No Doubt & WiiU

Welcome back to our unedited and uncensored segment of Natural Blog of X! In this week's issue of Entertainment Weekly, there will be an interview with Gwen Stefani on her solo career and if there is still a future with No Doubt. We will be sharing our thoughts on both topics and comparing other artists that made the same attempt as Gwen Stefani. Being a game nerd that Phil is, he had followed the full coverage of E3 on G4TV but didn't have enough time on the segment to share all his thoughts. The group did discuss about Nintendo's new console though, WiiU. Below is the full outline for this segment. Of course, don't forget to visit our wordpress account.

1. Gwen Stefani and No Doubt

On the Rocks: Ep 1 - Muppets Trailer & Video Game History Month

Welcome to On the Rocks' first official recording! If you listened to our seventh podcast episode on Natural Blog of X, you might have also got a taste of a special debut of On the Rocks segment. If you followed that episode all the way to the end, you might have noticed the episode was cut off in mid-sentence. In order to avoid that from happening again, we had decided to make On the Rocks into a completely different recording session every week. Like how we explained last week, this segment is unlike anything else on the Natural Blog of X. The topics we discuss about usually don't fit too well into the Natural Blog of X and everything is raw and uncensored. Please enjoy our free discussion about the following while we drink up...

1. Movie Trailers/Teasers
- The Muppets written by and starring Jason Segel
- Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (U.S. version)

2. Video Game History Month
