E48: Chris Evans Straps On James Bond's Papoose! (feat. Aaron Wolf and Mike Culyba) Oct 18, 2018

Show notes

We took a 23andMe test this week and discovered that not only are we related, but we’re more Cherokee than Elizabeth Warren! Together with documentary filmmakers Aaron Wolf and Michael Culyba, we shut down the worst news in what was a horrible week, including Facebook’s bizarre new political ads policy; the untimely death of a Republican pimp-turned-Nevada-State-Assembly-candidate; the New York Times real estate section burying the lede on Vag-china; Allbirds’ unicorn status; the haunted subways of New York; the shaming of 007’s papoose; and the emergence of Lindsey Buckingham from his sleeper cell.

E47: Taylor Swift Fingers a Tantric Pouch! (feat. Kerry Flynn) Oct 11, 2018

Show notes

Amid the worst week on record, and joined by journalist and digital native Kerry Flynn, we turned to fashion and technology for a shred of delight. But there was none. Designers were parading models in straitjackets down the runways of Paris, the iOS 12 update unleashed a flood of accidental animojis, and Apple’s sad attempt to portray the humble bagel was an epic fail. Also this week: a PhD candidate in France developed a robotic human finger that attaches to your iPhone, Jeffrey Katzenberg and Meg Whitman are re-branding short-form content as “Quibi," people are shredding their artwork and their money, and our greatest living actress, Drew Barrymore, was insulted by EgyptAir Magazine.

This week, we took a break from liftin’ weights at Tobin’s with our pal Squi to dissect Lindsay Graham’s attempt to win a Tony Award (and perhaps a VP slot on the Trump 2020 ticket) in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee. We also shut down another insane Lindsay--La Lohan--getting punched in the face after posing as an Arab man; a vomiting cannibal snake in India; Scrabble’s perplexing new additions to its dictionary; the first-ever robot brothel in Houston; Silicon Valley moguls’ ill-conceived Kiwi escape plan; and finally there’s Brexfit, the Brexit-inspired workout craze sweeping the UK.

We also explore the drug habits of marine life; a shameful Bavarian all-you-can-eat sushi joint; a Halloween coffin competition in St. Louis; a spider sex party in Greece, and ultimately we lament the lost art of goat herding.

We find ourselves trapped inside a zoo without walls, caught between a seal, a rat and a smoked watermelon ham. This week, the ‘90s have been reasserting themselves in some unsettling ways, with the sudden return to the cultural spotlight of Geoffrey Owens (aka Alvin from “The Cosby Show”), one-hit-wonder Vanilla Ice, and the Lord of the Dance himself, Michael Flatley.
