The Magical Talking Hat

You owe it to yourself to watch the YouTube version.

It’s finally arrived! Episode 500. And we had such a turnout. All your favorites! Plus Azuretalon. And a surprise unexpected guest!

Seriously, this episode was amazing. We get to look behind the curtain at some of our most dedicated listeners, who they are, and why they listen. I was moved beyond words. And we had a lot of fun. Enjoy!

We’re super psyched for episode 500! So much so that we kind of piss this one away… talking TV, a bit of movies, older TV, dead people in movies, and probably some other stuff, but I’m kind of tired, so I forget. Enjoy!

This week we discuss more plans for the 500th episode, including instructions for those arriving. Then a lot of TV and movies, a stressful time for Tony, and a lovely view into William’s Dad’s early onset dementia. Also, Tony can’t keep to a topic for more than four seconds. Enjoy!

This week, we figure out Tony doesn’t understand injections, we spend far too long discussing Ridley Scott, and then we get deep in to racism and sexism, like ya do. And we’re pretty pumped for episode 500. I called this episode “Anticipation” specifically to screw myself over for the next two episodes. Enjoy!

This week, William discusses a lot of folklore. Or at least, he talks a lot, lamenting a lack of folklore. Also, we learn why Belgian children love Herbert Hoover. And then Tony talks about every TV show and movie ever. Enjoy!

I don’t know what happened, this week. We started in with a weirdly philosophical open by Tony, and it just… carried on for an hour? No opening, no questions. Just a lot of thought about interacting with others, and a strangely large amount of shitting on Jerry Seinfeld. Enjoy!

QUESTIONS:

None.

Experience this in two senses, not just one!

This week, Tony confuses the demographics with blatant lies. Also, he laments the pain of privilege. And then he WILL NOT shut up about some movies or something. William is also in the episode. Enjoy!
