We discuss the biggest betrayers on Earth, including the Secret Service’s poor response time to throwing shoes, the continuing Ballad of Rod Blagojevich, Axl Rose’s Letter to the World, Madonna’s surprise divorce, the SAGging relationship among actors and their union, and the staggeringly, unbelievably massive financial disaster that is Bernard Madoff.
Rod Blegojevich has been hilariously indicted. The main subject under discussion, however, is porn. As the UK starts banning Wikipedia pages that include Scorpion covers, Australia convicts a man with a picture of Bart and Lisa Simpson, and we ponder the pornography of Alan Moore, we wonder how the exploitation of fictional characters can be made illegal. Plus, Mo and Redux debate whether the Child Porn Avenger is more popular than Ant-Man.
Join us as we discuss the case of Plaxico Burress, and the many questions it raises. Could he not afford pants? Or a holster? Redux suggests a stupidity law, while Zee points out that a limping football player wouldn’t do well in prison. On a more somber note, the Mumbai case is under discussion as well.
Kanye West claims to be the Moses of the twenty-first century as we address the question of hacks and no-talent schmucks. Has South Park jumped the shark? Can Heroes ever become interesting again? Should we burn J.J. Abrams at the stake? Can you still call it Prison Break after they break out of prison? Is Jack Bauer’s man purse filled with whoop-ass enough to save 24? How many black children might Weed have?
Join us as we discuss jackholes, in all their glory and annoyance. Donovan McNab (for not knowing the rules of football), Jimmy Johnson (for thinking NASCAR is a sport), Mark Cuban (for getting a little too lucky in the stock market), Steve Jobs (for pissing off 98% of computer users), a random Californian (who started a 40,000 acre fire with a cigarette), and PETA (for trying to convince us that all cooking is murder). Mo breaks all of our brains with his odd misunderstandings, while Spam experiments with his new sound clips.
As Barack Obama gets ready to assume the reins of American democracy, we discuss our own political development. The age of WYUR, our past and present at Dead Air, and the relative hotness of out interns. In that spirit, we decide to explore the changes we need to make to keep our show fresh and worthwhile, despite our ridiculous age. Join us as we pledge to be more professional, less scattered, and wear pants. Just kidding – we’re not gonna wear pants.
Join us as we discuss Obama’s security problems, especially from Neo-Nazis who are trying to impress Jodi Foster, while hanging out in book depositories on grassy knolls. Fanaticism is our topic, whether for comic books, movies, politics, or carving one’s own face. Zee’s own fanaticism is revealed as he unveils his new Google Phone.
