The Mamlambo - Backyard Nightclubs - 23 Feb 25, 2019

Show notes

Brandon forgets to cut us planning a hangout (which did happen) and John discovers the source of Brandon’s powers.
Also there’s a water cryptid on this episode we bet you haven’t heard of.

Also John wrote the description above without realizing that literally the greatest ska cover ever was pitched in this very episode.

Thunderbirds - Too Many Thunderbirds - 22 Feb 18, 2019

Show notes

Too Many Thunderbirds - Sung to Too Many Cooks

♪♪♪
It takes a lot to make an ep
A pinch of skept and laughter, too!
A scoop of lies to add the rant
A dash of inside jokes to make it unlistenable

And you’ve got
Too many Thunderbirds ( Too many Thunderbirds )
Too many Thunderbirds ( Too many Thunderbirds )
Too many Thunderbirds ( Too many! )
♪♪♪

(John just realized it's not an Indecent Proposal, but A Modest Proposal, whoops)

The Tombstone Thunderbird - “Transmutate” Makes John Sad - 20 Feb 04, 2019

Show notes

John kicks off the episode vamping because he doesn’t realize he’s the one hosting and Brandon channels his inner William Shatner. Pterosaurs are back, but this time in the American Southwest?!

Sometimes a story haunts your hosts, sometimes it makes one of them yell for a hour; this is one of those stories.

Is it nearly 2019 already? Time to take a trip towards warmer weather to ring in the new year!
