Season 7 – Episode 30 • Faux Hawk

redux — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 19:39:50 +0000

Zee has begun to explore alternate hair styles, while Spam begins to more fully embrace the glory of hacker conventions and newspaper cover stories. In other news, The Colony is more awesome than ever and Dick Cheney no longer has a pulse. This has not affected his career. Also, Spirit Air is now an official enemy of Dead Air.

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 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 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 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.

Season 6 – Episode 2 • Science, Bitches!

Spam — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 05:00:42 +0000

We discuss Spore, a new and eagerly awaited video game that allows users to create penis-creatures (and some other stuff). People study narcissists on Facebook, diseases on World of Warcraft, and sonar-controlled rat-bots. While Spam welcomes our new robot overlords, Redux shoots his Roomba, and the Internet goes completely out of control, Zee reminds us to make sure our mechanical killing machines don’t have Alzheimer’s. Oh, and the Large Hadron Collider is scheduled to destroy the solar system in the next few weeks.

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 4 – Episode 9 • The Magic Words

redux — Mon, 14 Mar 2005 20:29:00 +0000

Dead Air is in celebration, for The OC has been canceled. Where will we get our eye candy now? Smallville, of course. In other news, we discuss what makes a reality show not a game show, why more troops might not prevent Iraq from sliding into chaos, and whether you can watch anything other than Law & Order on an iPhone, provided you have one of Jerry Orbach’s transplanted eyes.

Season 4 – Episode 8 • Come Again

redux — Mon, 14 Mar 2005 20:27:33 +0000

Now that New Year’s is over, it’s time to turn our attention to more important matters. Namely, pranking the landlord who has ticked us off. Along the way, we discuss drug-induced anal lubricants, bum wine, and novelty-sized checks. On a side note, we explore what the next SteveNote will introduce. And no, the Mo and Redux have no idea what Spam is talking about.

Season 3 – Episode 25 • You Got Me

redux — Mon, 22 Sep 2003 16:31:29 +0000

We’re a little disjointed this week, but the issues under discussion include methods of death under the Revolution (Bea Arthur, Michael Moore, and Hamsters), the possible insanity behind today’s copyright laws, and we finally see Spam emote. That’s right – he feels feelings. But mainly, we want to tick off PETA.
