Dead Air

Season 7 – Episode 16 • What’s Inside Your Hamantaschen?

redux — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 05:00:31 +0000

Our conversation about Purim takes a strange turn as our extremely large crew contemplates the importance of make-up on drunk men, the need for Little Spam to remember he has a girlfriend, and the ease with which some of our crew experiences, um, well, he should really consult a doctor if that doesn’t go away after four hours.

Season 7 – Episode 15 • Epic Beard Men

redux — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 05:00:17 +0000

Our smaller-than-usual cast engages in a more-than-usually disjointed discussion of beards and racism. It turns out that, while many Americans are made nervous by certain racial profiles, we should also be scared when a 67 year old man gets on a bus . . . especially if he has a beard. Also, Purim is coming up. Where will you debauch this year?

Season 7 – Episode 14 • Love Is In Dead Air

redux — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 18:13:10 +0000

It’s Valentine’s Dy (or VD, as we like to call it), which is usually a pretty bad time for our crew. You know – depression, crying, abject despair. And those are the crew members who are in relationships. For those of us who are a little lonelier, well, things can get a little hairy.

Season 7 – Episode 13 • Snowpocalypse Now

redux — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 05:56:15 +0000

As God rains heavenly dandruff upon us, burying Spam and posse in the epic ShmooCon snowstorm of 2010, we consider whether or not Zee rigged the Ukranian election (he did), why the Mo can’t seem to remember anything (he can’t), why Sweet Dee dyed her hair (now it’s brown), and how now Katrina is okay (you know, ’cause they won the Super Bowl).

Season 7 – Episode 12 • What Hath God Wrought?

redux — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 17:01:43 +0000

Do you believe in miracles? There are a lot of answers to that question, and most of them are extremely disturbing. Join us for a discussion of a Divine intervention that didn’t do much intervening, an immaculate conception that wasn’t too clean, and a holy ghost that isn’t particularly saintly.

Season 7 – Episode 11 • Dingus Donuts

redux — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 16:37:16 +0000

It’s time for Dead Air to solve the airport security problem. Turns out that all the security in the world can’t defeat a crotch bomber, determined to blow his junk across a 747. On a side note, why do none of us seem to have jobs? Also, Haiti still sucks.

Season 7 – Episode 10 • Video Killed the Television Star

redux — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 15:14:37 +0000

As cable and TV providers battle over whether canceling a major network’s service is a good idea during football season, we debate the current state of television in general. Our very large crowd debates the Late Night controversy, the unfortunate immortality of The Simpsons and Saturday Night Live, and how many networks were going to preempt the State of the Union for the Lost premier.

Season 7 – Episode 09 • Newark is Nuts

Spam — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 05:00:50 +0000

While health care is our topic, we seem to get distracted pretty easily. In the midst of debating the current nature of the health care bill working its way through Congress, our extremely small cast gets sidetracked by the question of Weed’s pants, loving a blanket a little too much, and how easy it is to electrocute yourself for some jollies.

Season 7 – Episode 08 • Decattitude

Spam — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 15:15:18 +0000

Our decade in review episode focuses on the best, worst, and most indifferent of the past decade. The real question is not who the most important politician or celebrity was, or what the most important cultural milestone was. The real question is what kind of New Year’s glasses we’ll get now that we don’t have two zero’s in a row for the eyes.

Season 7 – Episode 07 • We Hate Your Guts

FestivusPoles.com has a handy Greivance Form that you can print out and use (scroll down to the bottom of the page to find the PDF).

Our annual Year in Review reveals that we were extremely disappointed with 2009. However, it is Festivus, and the airing of our grievances against the entire year (and each other) is entirely appropriate. Our traditional Festivus pole, unadorned, is there, and our fets of strength has to be seen to be believed. Too bad this is radio.
