June 22, 2017 11:00 - 1 hour - 63.2 MB

What's the difference in musical experience between a guy who grew up in the '70s vs a guy who grew up in the '90s?  Not as different as you might think.

S2:E6 Tiger Woods and Other Disgraced Celebs

June 01, 2017 00:00 - 1 hour - 68 MB

Our culture places on pedestals those who can act, sing, or play sports better than the rest of us.  If one happens to fall from that pedestal, we are just as interested in watching the descent.  What the hell is wrong with us?  Tiger is just the latest star to tumble (for the second time), but there are way more. 

S2:E5 PEDs

May 17, 2017 15:00 - 1 hour - 66.3 MB

Try as they might, sports governing bodies can not stop their athletes from using performance enhancing drugs.  Why?  Because they freakin' work that's why.  Should they be banned from sports?  An argument can be made that caffeine can be considered a PED, but it's perfectly legal.  We discuss the merits and the pitfalls.  And we make fun of Lance Armstrong only having one testicle.

S2:E4 Weed

May 04, 2017 02:00 - 1 hour - 80.2 MB

Americans seem to have warmed up to the idea of legalized marijuana...at least for medicinal purposes.  The Federal Government, however, is woefully behind the time.  Why?  Money, of course.  We "hash" it out in a tight 90ish minutes of merriment.

S2:E3 Companies That Missed the Technology Boat

April 20, 2017 22:00 - 54 minutes - 49.8 MB

From Blockbuster to AOL to every newspaper in America, there have been a lot of companies that either didn't see the technology shift, or thought they were too big to fail.  We go over just a few of the bigger examples and try to make some sort of sense of it all.  Mixed results.

S2:E2 Prostitution

April 07, 2017 02:00 - 1 hour - 59 MB

Sex between consenting adults is a thing of beauty.  If money changes hands, however, that thing of beauty becomes a crime.  Is ography prostitution since sex happens and people get paid?  What about stripping?  It's a far-reaching subject, and we had an hour... We also talked about the show Legion, plus comics and graphic novels.  Yes, we're nerds.

S2:E1 Truly Random and Full of Tangents

S1:E7 Politically Incorrect

May 12, 2016 02:18 - 1 hour - 66.3 MB

Anything ever said by anyone ever was potentially offensive to someone, somewhere.  Back in the day, the offended party usually just went on with their lives.  In the age of Political Correctness, the offender needs to be publicly shamed at best or roundly vilified at worst.  How did we get to this place?  What does "tolerance" really mean? Two politically incorrect guys discuss it

S1:E6 The Tinfoil Hat Episode

April 28, 2016 01:43 - 1 hour - 76.9 MB

S1:E4 You Are What You Eat

March 31, 2016 01:42 - 1 hour - 66.4 MB

shocker, but your government has been lying to you.  The food pyramid is total bs.  That low fat diet you've been trying to stick to...how's that working for you? Recent nutritional evidence has shown that fat is good, and its carbohydrates are the real enemy.
