Something Vaguely Reasonable|S3E7: February 27th Doubleshow Episode
On this week's show:
-If There Are Free Masons Around, We
Have a Basement that Needs to be Built
-Watching the Watchers of the Watchmen
-New Research Indicates that Old
Research Is Sticking it to You in New Ways
-Something Fishy This Way Comes
(featuring That's Fuckin' Creepy!)
We open by discussing just why the Boy
wears his sunglasses at night while he's imitating the creepy old
lady from Poltergeist while Sanguinist and Autumn deal with minor
earthquakes. We also hit a bunch of other potentially scarring
material before even completing our introductions.
Given that the first two topics are
from old friend of the show Zael, we give him a shout out before
hitting his questions. First up, we get some background information
on the Freemasons (interrupted briefly by one of several hiccups in
our internet connections) before those of us that actually have an
opinion on the organization giving it. We also briefly discuss
Largo's first hangover in quite a while and the waterproofing
qualities of Treet. We also correct the Boy on his belief that Ben
Franklin used to strangle hookers and bury them in his basement. We
then speculate on just how well zombies do with exorcism and exercise
before giving the Return of the Living Dead series more attention
than it deserves. We digress then onto Wall Street excess, what we'd
do with $500,000.00 a year, and just what a Cybertronian hooker would
transform into before dragging this train back on track with a
preview of Watchmen. We try to be as spoiler-free as we can (we save
the spoilers for the next episode). Give it a listen and see what you
think.
We digress yet again into Stephen Kings
opinion of the Twilight series before exploring our limited
collective knowledge of the series. And its stupidity.
Autumn brings us back on topic by
reviewing how the scientist who did the studies 'proving' that the
MMR vaccines caused autism made all of his research up. We then
spread the blame for the upcoming fall of humanity further around by
looking at MRSA and C.Diff. Largo takes the bad taste out of our
mouths by plugging the episode of Family Guy that reunites the cast
of Star Trek: The Next Generation, and Autumn counters by plugging
The Ghost Whisperer. Largo counter-counters by telling Sanguinist
that Tales from the Darkside is out on DVD, thus tempting them to
spend more money. Sanguinist counter-counter-counters by moving us
onto George Romero's ability to teleport Pittsburgh to Canada.
Rounding out the topics, we tell just
why the Barrel Fish is just fuckin' creepy before using magnets to
screw up the natural homing instincts of crocodiles. Well, okay, we
don't actually do it, but we talk about it. Sanguinist then tells us
about a rather interesting test that potential Dutch citizens must
take. It involves naked women and men kissing other men passionately.
Somehow, this leads to a discussion about using drug-tipped Nerf
darts as a non-lethal weapon (before Sanguinist turns it lethal, that
is.) We back on the fishy topic by telling you just how eating fish
might kill you (unfortunately, we couldn't afford to have Sam Neil
tell you how.) Listen and prove that our fear mongering works! To
balance it out, Sanguinist then tells you have eating fish can save
you (or at least the oil in the fish can.)
We close out by examining just how
expansive our fanbase is (thanks to all thirty of you :P) before
planning again for our 100th episode extravagansaEmail
