Loading ...To prepare for the coming Olympics, we look back at the time-honored tradition of sports movies starring Kevin Costner. It touches our hearts, which nicely coincides with Steve Jobs touching other body parts with the iSex. Also: Steven Seagal teaches us an important lesson in how he is still awesome.
Joel reads to Veteran’s in his support of the troops, Geoff celebrates the economy’s contribution to his free time, and politicians, now finished with campaigning, turn to porn.
The boys catch up after a long hiatus, Matthew sexily invites people to listen to his new album, and Libertarian Bob Barr dons a crown and brings democracy to African elephants.
Matthew tells old war stories of Highlander 2: Renegade Edition, Joel learns how to properly carve a frozen human body, and we learn that Skype has an software-based accent translator. Also, we ask our audience: what would you most like to be spanked with: a whip, a spoon, a bible, or a rubber chicken?
Anti-Facebook hippies spread their paranoia, we go shopping for our favorite Christmas gift from the Muslim world, and an aging Leonard Nimoy asks for help from his friend Bill Shatner, but unfortunately they are separated by a pane of glass in the reactor room. Also, which country has the tastiest citizens for cannibals? We let you, the listener, take a blind taste test and decide.
Geoff stars in this collector’s edition podcast, with a supporting cast of Matthew and Joel. This in-depth talkumentary explores the societal conditions that create homelessness, and turns a compassionate eye on what might be done to create more color in their wardrobe, while at the same time offering passers-by an indication of just how long they have been homeless. More importantly, why hasn’t the girl at work seen 2001: A Space Odyssey? Seriously.
Joel gets busted for getting Lexi into dog fighting (and having the dog compete against rags and squeaky toys), Matthew gets full custody rights to his son by competing in an arm-wrestling tournament, and we TOTALLY dropped the ball on attending Wilt Chamberlain’s wake. Also, we explore the comedy gold of car bombs… with mixed results.
Joel starts the show with a wardrobe malfunction, a peacock is successfully identified as a vampire in disguise, and we independently solve all problems with all cell phones worldwide. Plus, how to make love to your iPhone.Editor’s note: we were trying a new Skype recorder (called Pamela, don’t use it), and it screwed up the sync between all of us, so there’s a bit of echo in the recording. Our apologies. No wait, it’s your fault.
Creed assaults his wife and lives to sing about it, Terri denies women the right to vote, and a bat flies into the works. Plus, how do you make a Messiah? DINO DNA!!
Open source software paves the way for a quick death, we play with boop, and a cell phone company calls twice to desperately try to induce criminal business operations.
