Episode 481 : Lost Peanut Despair

Yes, we’re still on YouTube.

Tony starts the show with a very important issue, very close to his heart. Then we try and figure out if politics is more evil than medicine (No spoilers!). Then a bit of movies, and a lot of lunch. Enjoy!

QUESTIONS:

Do/did you eat the same thing for lunch while home during Covid-19 isolation as you do on normal weekdays? Why or why not? –Beth

Episode 478 : Ghost Cat

The technology is failing us! We get William into the episode by the skin of our teeth. But to compensate, we have a VERY special guest. Also, we’re periodically haunted by Ezzie, which you can see if you watch it on YouTube. Otherwise, just take my word for it. Enjoy!

QUESTIONS:

Have you ever tried vaping? Would you? –Craig

Episode 477 : Modern Times

We had some major technical difficulties, including at least one chunk of dead air. But we did still manage to get it on YouTube, so enjoy that!

This week we discuss Tony’s prejudices about history, William’s prejudices about the future, and what a sea turtle does or does not eat. Enjoy!

QUESTIONS:

Are podcast episodes backed up for prosperity? Is that important or do you consider the podcast as more of a transient thing? –Stu

Episode 476 : Three Pistols for the Chicken

We’re back! In that Tony is back from Oregon, back in Iowa. But we’re still doing it remotely, so that hardly matters.

Which also means we totally did it on YouTube, too!

We discuss how Tony drifted through his time in Oregon, fascinating conversation about the past of Iowa City landmarks, and we discover the currency that will dominate, after the apocalypse. Oh, and Craig’s totally scamming the UK elections. Enjoy!

QUESTIONS:

Have you ever spoiled your vote? –Craig

What was the most recent thing that gave you hope for the future? –Craig

Episode 475 : The Short One

This episode is short. Maybe 45 minutes. But it was intended to be about 10 minutes, so be grateful!

It’s up on YouTube again, here, if that’s your kind of thing.

Tony’s Dad died on Tuesday, so… this whole episode is just about that. Enjoy!

QUESTIONS:

None

Episode 474 : Not the Airplane

We’re still recording from our disparate locations! Which means we’re still on YouTube. Check the link here, if you want to watch while you listen, or whatever.

This is a heavy-ish episode. Tony’s in a bad way right now, and it seems silly to ignore that. But we still have time for some film critique and plans for episode 500. Enjoy!

QUESTIONS:

Are you making big plans for the 500th episode and/or 10th anniversary? –Beth

Episode 473 : We’ve Gone Visual!

The best and worst thing about the global pandemic — you can see us now!

Despite the desperate need for isolation, we refuse to stop entertaining you, our loving public. So we’ve recorded remotely, via Zoom. And Zoom has video!

Now, we’re an audio podcast, and plan to stay that way. But… if you’d like to watch the video for this episode… we put it on YouTube!

Here it is! Once it finishes processing! I don’t really understand how YouTube works.

So take your pick… sound or sound AND vision. Either way… Enjoy!

QUESTIONS:

What’s the one piece of advice you wish you could give to everyone? –Cawfee

Episode 472 : You Wanna Live, or You Wanna Die?

We are NOT talking about everybody’s favorite pandemic, this week! We discuss Tony’s… unusual brush with the public, William’s anger problem, the craziest new gang of criminals on the fictitious block, and Azuretalon’s inability to understand how villains work. Enjoy!

QUESTIONS:

Sirs, In episode 461 Tony declares “I am Genocide!” and kazoos a little diddy. Was that a supervillain debut, a death metal song… er… what the fuck? –I am Azuretalon (Hum a little death metal diddy)
