On this week's docket:


-Truck Stop Fungus!

-I Always Thought that This Sort of Thing Would Have Corporate Sponsorship

-Feeling a Little Gamey


Largo starts the show by coughing up a lung, the Boy insults Jason Bateman, and we look at the benefits and drawbacks to Slow-Time Bubbles.


Sanguinist introduces a fungus that makes diesel fuel through a comparison of the last eight years of government with a really bad booze party that one wakes up from in strange places and covered in strange fluids. Believe it or not, the comparison works. We look at the feasibility of using this fungus through genetic manipulation (with a sidetrack over to Beerman, the first yeast-based superhero) before giving a rundown on just why fungus shall inherit the earth. We also look at Sanguinist's plans to be a Bio-Pirate in another life before digressing onto the question of what you'd call the prostitute's equivalent of Athelete's Foot. We also look at the bizarre need for geeks to make female versions of Madalorians and Stormtroopers. We also looks at the shortcomings of the relaunch of the Star Wars figures right before the Special Editions, Rick Santorum's head exploding, and the similarities between the Running Man and the Pennsylvania Lottery.


Sanguinist drags us back on topic by discussing the ramifications of an online suicide, mostly focusing on how those who cry out most for hands-off regulation failing to display the level of maturity necessary to police oneself to make that regulation unnecessary. Largo also brings up the on-air suicide of Bud Dwyer for context. We also look at the appalling lack of sociopaths in the United States today before exploring just how different Ralphie's story would have been had he been given a .22 instead of a BB gun. Then we look at how Bush used the Bible to guide his life before looking at a time-travelling pretzel being used by Skynet to kill Bush.


Sanguinist assures us that World of Goo has nothing to do with porn. It is, instead, a downloadable game that he lost a chunk of his life to where one guides semi-sentient blobs in an attempt to solve puzzles. We also look at Peter North's proposed game World of Spoodgecraft (and wonder just when he's gonna serve us a cease and desist order.) To complete the Trifecta yet again, Largo gives his thoughts on the new Star Trek trailer. We also give our opinions on the new Watchmen trailer before Largo praises the extras on the Collectors' Edition of Hellboy II (and hops on his old hobby-horse about doing as much on a film practically as one can.) Keeping in the movies theme, we look at the totally unsurprising first-weekend success of Twilight and ponder if it'll drop like a stone or go on like Titanic. This leads into both a general vampires-who-don't-drink-human-blood discussion as well as a here's-a-well-we-wouldn't-mind-you-going-back-to-Hollywood discussion. We then finally get back on topic by talking about how pleasantly surprised Largo was by Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. Trust us, it isn't nearly as cheesy as it sounds. And we close with the Boy wanting to go run around in the cold, naked and covered in lime-green Jello.

On the show this week:


-Bond, Jason Bour... Waitaminute...

-Something Vaguely Scientific

-Feelin' a Little Gamey


We start the show by asking where in the world Super-Joe is, then we shill for email yet again. The Boy briefly discusses how his dog is an aspiring Houdini before Largo offers his review of Quantum of Solace. Listen to see what he thought. We then digress over into rejected Care Bears like Plague Bear before discussing the actual Care Bear that is a member of the thought police. We then make sure we earn the explicit rating we have on iTunes.


Sanguinist then gives us a science story that we missed while we were electionating; a recent study of the devastating flu pandemic of 1918 that more-or-less ended WWI suggested that viral and bacteriological infections worked together to kill, kill, kill. Fun news is that this could happen again. We also digress onto fun musicals like Jesus Christ; Superpimp and A Night at the Brothel. Sanguinist also improvs an online dating profile for the HIV virus. We also speculate on the California fires beginning as fires to make insurance claims before discussing marketing Liquid Doom, the bizarre political calls Sanguinist is still receiving,George Lucas's “Waiting for Godot: Special Edition”, and the inanity of Dragonball Z.


The Boy moves us on to our last topic by admitting that Fallout 3 isn't quite so bad. It's no great shakes, mind, given that there are numerous problems already reported (including a worldmap that can be walked in five minutes), but it wasn't the steaming pile that he was expecting it to be. He also notes that the creators don't seem to be planning to put out the tool kit that made Morrowind and Oblivion not suck (thanks to the fans.) He also mentions how people had a cow when breasts appeared in Oblivion (though we can graphically blow people apart with no complaints.) The Boy then tops the story about the “Epic Lay” with a story about some woman who is willing to pay (in game money) for some guy to screw her on team speak while fighting in a battleground with her guild. Good luck with that, miss, given the laundry list of requirements you're asking for. This brings us to Wrath of the Litch King, which ate up most of the Boy's life for a day or so. He runs down the niftiness available to Death Knights. He also extols the virtues of phased quests while Largo mentions that, back in his day, we didn't have fancy things like phased quests and 3D graphics; it was all done in ASCII. We close out by floating the concepts of Warcraft Babies and the children's book “Tuberculosis and You; or Why is Grandpa's Lung on My Plate?”

On this weeks program:

-Election Fallout!

-Joe the Turncoat

-Assassin's Bleed


We start by welcoming Largo's cough back to the show, as well as Largo's cats. Sanguinist then briefly visits an alternate universe where McCain won the election before we discuss the results of the election in this world. Largo mentions how pleased he is that McCain finally found his dignity during his concession speech, and Sanguinist revisits his conspiracy theory about McCain being run as a sacrificial lamb by the Republican Party before reminding us that the Mayan calendar ends in 2012 and speculating that Palin may be the cause. We then touch briefly on Ted Stevens and the concept of Alaska being for lovers. Sanguinist then explores the 'Christian' rights that the nation was founded on and how the Evangelical Right was trying to drag us back into the Dark Ages, then we discuss Karl Rove's complete about face on Obama's street cred as a conservative. Largo also brings up how Obama's campaign had absolutely nothing to do with a Rove-style campaign no matter what some mouthpieces may say before saying that “Secret Muslim” sounds like it should be a bad exploitation Marvel Comic from the '70s. We then digress onto the concept of the Jewrastamuslim. Leave your political correctness at the door.

Largo drags the train back on track by wondering why the Democratic Party is kissing Joe Lieberman's ass. Much bitching ensues before we digress onto zombies, as we are wont to do. Look here to see if Sanguinist found his picture of Buddy Christ walking amongst the undead in Pittsburgh. We also speculate on what would happen if a zombie bit Keith Richards, if Sly Stallone could act as an interpreter for Richards, and what would happen if Stallone and Schwarzenegger bump fists to activate their Eighties Icon powers. More Keith Richards silliness closes this topic out.

We take a small break to wonder if we could find a convention or something where we could distribute some promotional materials before getting silly again by wondering about aliens landing on the White House lawn because Obama seems diplomatic enough to talk to. The Boy continues the silliness by revealing that he's been working with Cobra scientists to build the best president ever by cloning genetic material from our greatest leaders before Largo brings up Joker Brand sausage and Sanguinist secretly replaces our Folgers Crystals with Crystal Meth.

Sanguinist moves us on to our next topic my detailing a way to reprogram T-Cells to attack cells infected with AIDS. The Boy brings up a different bit of science by mentioning a map made of one patient's cancer mutations. Sanguinist brings in the scary by telling how the T-Cells can be programed to do horrible, horrible things to the human body. Mad Science ahoy! Sanguinist then details why a vaccine for HIV is unlikely before we get sidetracked by tentacle sex yet again.


We briefly eulogize Michael Crichton before renewing our plea to George R. R. Martin to finish his series already. Largo reminds us that Jurassic Park IV is coming soon, and Sanguinist wonders if any of the newly discovered dinos are going to make an appearance. This leads Largo to reminisce about Walking with Dinosaurs before hopping back onto the political stump to ponder if a Democatic majority can bring some balance back to government. Not saying that they'll fix things, mind, just screw 'em up in the other direction and hopefully stop near the middle.

We close out by wondering if flatulence disrupts Force powers.

On the show this week:

-Halloween ('Cause We Couldn't Come Up With a Clever Name for the Segment)

-Feeling a Little Gamey

-No Trick, No Treat, No Pulse

-Something Vaguely Random

We begin with the Catten/Ike Turner Olympics, then discuss how our various Halloween costumes and events went before immediately digressing into the lands of Zaphod Beeblerox, bad anime villains (Xerxes Tireiron Dada, anyone? Anyone?), and Bible Adventures for the NES. Largo then brings up his masochistic streak in signing up once again for NaNoWriMo, the National Novel Writing Month. Wish him luck with that. Sanguinist suggests that Largo write something like Dianetics, maybe make his own religion, and that leads to some discussion of what those religions would entail and the concept of God as a Time Lord. That in turn leads to Largo's thoughts on David Tennant leaving Doctor Who, a brief history of the Doctor's regenerations, Largo's wish for a multi-Doctor story featuring all the actors still able to play the role, and speculation about how the Doctor is going to react to getting so close to the end of his regenerations. Sanguinist then moves over onto the concept again of Tennant playing the Riddler, the we bitch yet again about Joel Schumacher's Batman movies. Largo then drags us back on topic by reporting that the improvised Freddy Krueger prosthetics turned out just fine, then we discuss our Halloween night at the bar. We then discuss morons who think the Necronomicon is real, the concept of Kirkthulu, and the girls that Largo wasn't able to get a shot of, and Largo's Costume Contest rant.

We give Zael a shout out for giving us an email. This is significant enough to mention all by itself.

Sanguninist starts off Feeling a Little Gamey by introducing us to Greg Stolze's Reign and his cool concept of ransoming off his game and supplements as a way to battle PDF piracy. We digress over onto the shortcomings of White Wolf indexes and table of contents, then we get distracted by boobs atomic and anemic. Sanguinist drags up back on topic by discussing magic and how it relates to gaming worlds. The Boy then gives us a breakdown on why Red Alert had always been the tongue-in-cheek subset of the Command and Conquer series, including armored Russian bears, psychokineic Japanese schoolgirls, and catapults as transport methods for troops. The Boy also runs down the cast of the game and gives his thumbs up to all but Jenny McCarthy. We close out this topic with Guitar Hero: World Tour and how Largo and The Boy have to dump money down for more instruments. Digressions that follow focus on Guitar Hero: Mortal Kombat and a World of Warcraft axe that turns into a guitar and lets you shred. The Boy updates Sanguinist on the status of the WoW zombie infestation, and largo speculates how useful zombie gingerbread men would have been in D&D.

We move on to the last scheduled topic by mentioning a really horrible Halloween tragedy where a convicted felon shot and killed a kid and his father when they knocked at his door for Trick-or-Treat. We mine the only pleasure available in this story by speculating just what kind of prison justice this moron is going to face. This leads to a far more pleasant digression about Charles Manson focusing his mental powers through the swastika on his forehead, speaking to evil like Aquaman can speak to fish.

We close the show by comparing this episode's lack of focus to previous episodes, then mentioning how nice it'll be to hear about something other than the election on the news.

On the docket for this week:

-The Backwards B Avenger Strikes!

-ZOMG, It's a World Event!

-RingRingRingRingRingRingRing, McCain Phone!

We digress before even getting into the topics by exploring the genetic love child of Steven Tyler and David Lee Roth as run through Cyndi Lauper.

We start the show proper by expounding on why Sanguinist was less than pleased with the media's coverage of the girl who 'carved' a backwards B into her face and claimed to have been assaulted by a massive African-American Obama supporter, then he gives us tips on giving yourself a black eye. Sanguinist then gives us a breakdown of who fights with whom in western PA. He then calls Jack Murtha out on the carpet, we define “helpin'”, then we point out the two types of dead people in western PA. We close the topic out by talking about how disliking the Steelers is a hangin' offense in Pittsburgh and how Palin's appearance on SNL did nobody any favors (other than Lorne Michaels.)

We digress onto accelerated global warming and the amusing comparison between McCain's speech and The Penguin's speech from the '60s show. We then talk about OPEC cutting production to try and bring gas and oil prices back up and how prices continue to fall anyway. Sanguinist then sings the praises of the maglev train that never quite seems to happen in Pennsylvania.

The Boy tries to walk us through the world event leading up to the release of WoW: Wrath of the Litch King, but gets distracted by zombie rim jobs and repeated butt-sex jokes. Once we finally pull ouselves back together, we discuss the zombie rampage spreading across Azaroth. We also discuss the return of the King to Stormwind. And we then run down the list of upcoming games that we're looking forward to. And Fallout 3, which we're not. And we then digress over into how the King disciplines employees that fail him and how Manatee is supposed to be tasty.

We then jump back onto the campaign trail, wondering if Sarah Palin had really been doing as much damage as the media seemed to be suggesting, then we move over into the incalculable stupidity of dissing fruit fly research when it's been shown to lead to advances in an area of interest of her campaign, diagnosing special needs children. The Boy then discusses the fact that some fast-food kid's meals contain enough calories to feed an Olympic athlete, then we discuss our own fast-food eating habits, zombies as a renewable food source, and Spam versus Armor Treet (with Flava Flave.)

Sanguinist then discusses the ridiculous number of calls he received from the Republican Party (or affiliated organizations) over the course of one weekend, and most of them were RoboCalls. 'Cause annoying possible voters is always a good idea. We also discuss using political mailings as kindling. We then digress into using zombies as a police force (though we could never get 'em to work in New Jersey), why there are no mutant simians in the Marvel Universe, and introduce Vegas, mutant probability bender and stripper.

We close out by discussing how they could have saved Enterprise by having some hot Borg on Vulcan action and hitting our trifecta for the first time in ages.

-A Little Bit of Retail Therapy

-You Can Vote if You Want To, We Will Leave Your Vote Behind

-Halloweenies!

-Winging It

We start off with Largo confessing that he had to spend an inordinate amount of money because he's had a really, really crappy week. He talks about the Best Buy exclusive bust from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (and somehow digress onto the relative levels of hariness of the cast and the new UPN program Sasquatch Nights), his Diamond Select Original Star Trek phaser and communicator set, an Ironhide and a Prowl from the Transformers Universe line (complete with a head!), his Captain America shield, and almost buying a $150 Millennium Falcon. Sanguinist counters with the ease of storage for the PDF role-playing books he's purchased.


We then digress into the need to spray caulk into cracks, which then leads into the cocks trying to block voting. Sangiunist focuses on efforts in Ohio, Nevada, and Montana to try and disenfranchise folks who have lost their homes, then Largo brings up the Obama camp's attempt to cut the Republican attempt to curtail the vote off before it even starts. Sanguinist mentions folks he's heard of that will vote for every office but president (comparing it to Christmas starting earlier and earlier at a retail level), which then leads to Largo's anti-Christmas, anti-retail rant. We then also address the inanity that is Sweetest Day and the Palpatine/Palin 2012 ticket, the power of the Boy's physique, and the power of the Boy's colon, Graham Spanier's need to drink the bottled innocence that Penn State squeezes out of it's student body, Sarah Palin winking out of existence, how Largo will self-immolate if he hears the name Joe the Plumber even one more time, and PennDot somehow causing the apocalypse.


Sanguinist then kills us by showing us the absolute worst Spider-Man costume ever. Click and weep. Much like a train wreck, we just can't look away. We bet you won't be able to, either. We then move over to discuss TNA Wrestling and how it has potential. Now if it could just execute it. This also leads to a WCW lament and our own federation featuring Coal Bucket matches.


We slip over onto Peter North's superhero identity, the latest Billy and Mandy Halloween special, and the Hyper-Boli before discussing our plans for Halloween. Largo closes the show by digressing over into the J.J. Abrams Star Trek reboot and how he's annoyed that the bridge doesn't look like the original one.
