Hunger Games

July 30, 2020 19:00 - 32 minutes - 22.3 MB

I wouldn't eat while you listen to this one!   Dave is first up with a strong contender for any hot dog eating contest.  Just because he is from France, don't believe that we are courting our French listeners.  Tony rounds out the episode with everyone's hero from the Roman Empire.  This should be a strong one and these two could be contenders for the weirdest of the season.

It's Ladies Night!

July 23, 2020 23:00 - 29 minutes - 20.3 MB

As prophesied by last episode, the fellas delve into the strangeness of the ladies.  Well, not all ladies, just a couple of them.  This episode has Dave talking about a diva of the sea who makes connections previously unknown to man nor fish.  Meanwhile Tony talks about an unsatisfied Uber rider from the past.  Hilarity ensues.

What's That Smell?

July 16, 2020 22:00 - 29 minutes - 20 MB

This episode takes its normal strange turn with two individuals that show extreme dedication.  In one corner we have Carl Tanzler who show his love for his beloved Helen in some astonishing ways.  And we move across the pond to Japan to meet Dr. Nakamats who will probably outlive all of us and invent more things than we all need.  Join the weirdos on our most recent excursion to craytown.

Dirty Water Annulments

May 08, 2020 22:00 - 21 minutes - 14.5 MB

Another whackadoodle episode from your favorite podcast friends!  This episode covers two "religious" leaders.  One from deep in the heart of the midwest, Leroy Jenkins (not that one).  The other from ye olde England - Henry VIII and his merry band o' wives.  You'll learn important things about Tony's speech patterns and Dave's gout.  Who will win this dyna-contest?

Shotguns and Weight Gain

May 08, 2020 15:00 - 18 minutes - 12.5 MB

Our first episode takes place under shelter in place.  Tony and Dave talk about their COVID-19 nutrition and exercise plans (or lack thereof).  The two weirdos this week are Griffith Griffiths, the patron of Griffith Park and the Hollywood sign.  Dave introduces the progenitor of Cynicism, Diogenes.  Who will win?  WHO WILL WIN?   We'll see on the first episode of Scale of Weird People.
