redux — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 03:54:00 +0000

The world-wide phenomenon that is Tim Tebow’s obsession with prayer has finally hit Dead Air. In other news, Ricky Gervais is a terrible person. There is no joke there; he’s just awful. And while we agree that much humor (or humour, you pretentious British poofters) is subjective, he isn’t.

Season 9 – Episode 10 • The PRying Game

redux — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 03:04:32 +0000

Let’s play a new game: Is it racist? Yes. Yes it is. In other news, Dick Clark is an animated corpse and Carlos Santana is high as a kite. The government also spent the week killing freedom, outlawing the Internet, and murdering puppies. Go ahead, try to figure which of those things didn’t happen.

Season 9 – Episode 9 • Territorial Pissings

redux — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 02:26:47 +0000

Our annual year in review episode reveals that this was a resounding “meh” of a year, epically uninteresting in its blah-ness. Political events were entertaining, television was uninspired, movies were terrible, and the UN declared this the International Year of Forests. Yeah, not much happened.

Season 9 – Episode 8 • Jesus Doesn’t Want Me For A Sunbeam

redux — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 01:26:34 +0000

Some people seem to think that every broken window is a new Holocaust. Well, sometimes the terminology can be forgiven. In other news, some Jewish women seem to think that burkas are the way to go. Warning: This week’s show is dark, but meaningful.

Season 9 – Episode 7 • Curmudgeon

redux — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 00:59:15 +0000

Another Black Friday has come and gone, and we are all feeling just how old and decrepit we all are. In our main discussion, we discuss the futility of life in general, and the hopelessness of ours in particular.

Season 9 – Episode 6 • Marigold

redux — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 00:12:43 +0000

Our annual visit to KosherFest has yielded yet more complaints of greedy attendees and the over-orgy indulgence in free food. Not that we’re complaining. This leads us into a larger discussion of terrible kosher restaurants, of which there are many. But who is at fault, the consumers or the professionals? Both, most likely.

Season 9 – Episode 5 • Come As You Are

redux — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 00:11:43 +0000

Television is our primary topic tonight – how we watch it, why we watch it, when it’s good, whether it’s bad, and what networks are doing to make sure the quality stays as low as possible.

Season 9 – Episode 4 • Rape Me

redux — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 02:57:02 +0000

It’s Halloween, and the economy is in the crapper. Some extremely unclear people are attempting to protest…something. Weirdly, we spend most of the show discussing the ultimate five course dinner pizza. We also experiment with a new ending format for the show, the “Moment of Clarity.”

Season 9 – Episode 3 • My Hero

redux — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 00:30:49 +0000

It’s time to explore what makes a hero. Is it a dedication to the community? A willingness to put others’ well-being above your own? A selfless commitment to a cause or higher ideal? Or the ability to make shameless self-promotion and egotism your priority, and beg your friends to do the same? We’re betting the latter.

Season 9 – Episode 2 • The Man Who Sold The World

redux — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 14:42:40 +0000

After a weirdly retrospective start, we turn our discussion toward the stupidity of Netflix, now determined to eliminate everything that once made them useful to humanity. In other news, Facebook is perfecting the ancient art of stealing everyone’s everything. In other news, we still can’t ask, but now we can tell.
