Happy New Year, Hatlings!

So this is the final episode. The final episode of everything, because the world ends tomorrow. We talk about that quite a bit. Also, a fascinating (and angry) story from the Producer about yoga!
Questions : I lost them. There were three. The first was from Mark, asking about the source of Tony’s “the only podcast…” bit. The second was from Craig (I think), asking about cybernetic implants. And the final question (ever?) was from Sir Guido, doing a compare/contrast of TV and movies.
Alternate title : The Producer, who originally came up with the episode title, later put her weight behind calling it “Happy Chrismageddonkwanzucah!” or something similar, but was outvoted. By me.

First rule of Apocalypse Club… don’t talk about the Apocalypse! So we won’t. We’ll save it for next week.
This week is a lot about video games (sorry, to those who hate that), and about character archetypes, and why we like what we like.
Oh! And we predict the winner in the 2012 Presidential election!

It’s spooky and strange. It comes from where we know not. Or not where we know? Something like that.
Anyway, it’s a mystery episode. We don’t understand, and soon, neither will you. Enjoy!

Happy turkey-related celebration, children! This week, we (understandably) talk a lot about food. And (weirdly) a little about exercise. Also, failure. Our failure, your failure, the failure of the whole damned system! Happy Thanksgiving.

Today, we found a new country. One largely based on recreational drugs. And herbs. We also get deeply philosophical about our relationship with the listeners. There’s probably some other stuff, but we recorded two episodes tonight, so I’m not sure which was from which. Just listen, you’ll see.
QUESTIONS:
Dear TMTH, European or African swallow? — Mark McKibben
What question would you most like to ask the listeners? — Craig
Dear The Magical Talking Hat, Herbs: Fresh or dried? — Kiya B.

Much discussion tonight, folks. And a lot of it veering somewhat far afield of the questions we’re asked. But still, we cover superheroes, vision impairment, and then talk about sex. For a long, long time.
In fact, this is probably the longest episode we’ve had to date. And after we finished, we kept talking for about a half hour! But we didn’t record that, so you’ll have to imagine that part.
QUESTIONS:
Dear TMTH, In a fight to the death between the Avengers and the X-men who wins? –Mark McKibben
Dear The Magical Talking Hat: Glasses, contacts, or Lasik? –Kiya B.
What is the best way to deal with insomnia? –Craig

In tonight’s episode, Tony might be a LITTLE bit drinky. And William is VERY serious. So it’s hilarious. And deep. And thought-provoking. And pointless. Pretty much the usual.
