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 8 – Episode 21 • Gang Fight

redux — Fri, 06 May 2011 03:17:32 +0000

The Internet is our subject tonight, specifically the tendency for young’uns to twit, f-book, and e-send every inane thought that flickers across their immature consciousnesses. Justin Bieber, Rebecca Black, and Dr. Dre are all victims of this, although Shirley Manson is still safe.

Season 7 – Episode 23 • Dead Trees

redux — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 18:00:53 +0000

Print is dead. Long live Print! Actually, the crew debates the question of the Internet’s supremacy (or lack thereof) when it comes to delivering interesting and informative content to the consumer, against the magazine and newspaper industries who have, you know, editors. And, apparently, spellcheck.

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 06 • Hot, Wet, and Jewcy

Spam — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 05:00:01 +0000

As our sabbatical season takes a more serious turn, we discuss the proliferation of Orthodox oriented sites promoting pornography, swinging, and deviancy. Join us as we discuss the problems, the impact, the oddities, and some possible solutions.

Season 6 – Episode 33 • No, I’m Spartacus

Spam — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 04:59:14 +0000

After we spend some time arguing about who is which Sex and the City character, we reminisce about the early days of the station and some of our craziest moments. After determining that Bono is to blame for thousands of years of misery and pain in Africa, we discuss the definition of a Jewish hero and who is a douchebag for claiming to be one.

Season 6 – Episode 32 • Doggie Tampons

Spam — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 06:00:43 +0000

Zee relates the story of Dr. November’s canine adventure. After discovering that pet stores do not, in fact, sell doggie tampons, we review Quentin Tarantino’s new film, Inglourious Basterds. The miracle (and horror) that is Google’s predictive search is also under discussion. Apparently, we are all desperately afraid of Chinese people.

Season 6 – Episode 26 • Is This The Real Life?

Spam — Thu, 21 May 2009 04:59:39 +0000

Weed brings a lady friend, prompting us to question whether Dead Air makes a good date. Camel spiders and anal fish make an appearance as well . . . so to speak. But the real question is whether our new technology is keeping us from each other. Meanwhile, augmented reality is changing the way we deal with people we don’t like.

Season 6 – Episode 22 • Digilantism

Spam — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 23:31:27 +0000

The anonymity of the Internet has granted the citizens the world over the ability to achieve the status of super-heroes, making anonymous vigilantism a real possibility. Are these people just deluded fools? Almost certainly. Join us as we discover that when Arabs protest, they always take things just a little too far.

Season 6 – Episode 20 • The Wonders of Technology

Spam — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 23:29:38 +0000

We discover that technology is running away with us. The burgeoning fields of prosthetic limbs linked directly to your mind, books that read themselves (a la The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy), and the exciting new advances in the science of teledildonics.
