Season 5 – Episode 25 • Summer in Review 2008

redux — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 15:53:58 +0000

Our annual summer review episode reflects on all the things we missed this past summer. Though The Mo is absent, two new interns join us for a whole new generation of Dead Airians. Also, the Large Hadron Collider will most likely destroy the planet sometime in the next few months.

Season 5 – Episode 24 • Class is in Session 2008

redux — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 15:53:38 +0000

Dead Air once again welcomes the youth of the Summer@YU program, sharing their epic tales of a summer spent at . . . school. Well, maybe not that epic.

Season 5 – Episode 23 • Testicles and Nazi Doctors

redux — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 15:53:16 +0000

We used to have big brassy testicles. Then we ran out of Nazis to fight. Happily, there are organizations still looking for Nazis, so we can hunt them. If those run out, we can always have Brad Pitt hunt fictional Nazis.

Season 5 – Episode 22 • Who Has Talent

redux — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 15:52:50 +0000

It turns out that America, in fact, does not have talent. It does have an increasing obsession with horribly dangerous feats performed on television, however. I could watch Bear Grylls eat bugs forever.

Season 5 – Episode 21 • It’s Happening

redux — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 15:52:24 +0000

The latest M. Night Shyama . . . whatever his name is, made a crappy movie. This leads us into an increasingly confrontational moment with The Mo, who is led to increasingly lower anatomical levels of idiocy.

Season 5 – Episode 20 • Brett the Amtrekker

Spam — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 04:59:17 +0000

We met Brett the Amtrekker at an event so geeky, Spam won’t even let us explain it on the site. Brett has been wandering from place to place, trying to complete the fifty items on his list. While some of these missions are kind of tough, we at Dead Air were fascinated by his amazing ability to wander through the country, with nothing but his backpack full of technology and an extra pair of socks. Check out his adventures at www.Amtrekker.com, and listen to our evening with him here.

Season 5 – Episode 19 • Fuck Gas

redux — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 15:52:01 +0000

As Spam protests the continuing attempts of the MPAA to prevent his watching of movies, our main topic is the current gas crisis. Also, what The Mo terms “extra dirty parts.”

Season 5 – Episode 18 • The Thousand Year Goog

redux — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 15:51:42 +0000

So arrives our annual summer movie preview episode. Some will suck, some will inspire, and all will flock to Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2: The Wrath of Kahn. Also, Spam finds his wrestling name: The Mad Tangent.

Season 5 – Episode 17 • Since You’ve Been Gone

redux — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 15:51:20 +0000

Zee is finally back with us live, and he is astonished by the changes in New York City in his absence. Kefiyyahs seem to be in fashion, cabs have touch screens, and The Mo thinks we should sacrifice children. In other news, the crew discusses their Mothers’ Day plans, including some creative birthing methods. Also, Barack Obama may not be as black as you think he is.

Season 5 – Episode 16 • When In The Course of Human Events

redux — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 15:51:00 +0000

It’s yet another disjointed Dead Air, as we bounce from Reverend Wright, to lolcats, to prostitutes, to Hitler. What’s weird is not that all of those things came up in the same episode, but how often all of those things come up in the same episode.
