#101: Super Bowl Shuffle, Vaccine Nuts, Oregon College Girl Shoots Library Porn
03/02/2015 Duración: 31minWe're down to one dude in this one. Mike is riding solo once again. Take a look back at the Super Bowl as Tom Brady and the New England Patriots snatched victory from the defending champion Seattle Seahawks. Listen to Mike's take on the controversial call that led to Russell Wilson throwing a game-clinching interception. The play sent Pete Carroll and the boys back to the Pacific Northwest as runners-up in the big show. How do you not give the rock to Beast Mode Marshawn Lynch in that situation? Also included in the Super Sunday talk are the commercials and Katy Perry performing along with Missy Eliot at halftime. Later, vaccine truthers are all over the headlines. Do they have science on their side or are they just nutcases who are bringing back long-forgotten diseases? Then, get a load of this story out of Oregon...

#100: I've Watched A Lot Of Gilmore Girls, So... (Bed and Breakfasts, Couchsurfing, and Car Sharing)
27/01/2015 Duración: 01h37minTake a listen to our 100th show! This episode tears into some old-school SOAD (also known as System of a Down), and wraps with a bit of Radiohead. The early conversation turns to the early days of computing, as the Internet launched into popularity. Who remembers the days of DOS and Oregon Trail? The dudes lived it. Eventually, they get into the stereotypes of the South as being backward. The talk then turns to Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal and his not-so-subtle prayer rally that smelled more like a political rally. Later, the dudes chat about the growing world of sharing through online resources like apps. They talk about Uber, Lyft, Airbnb, and Couchsurfing as ways people connect for use of cars and lodging. Is it safe to deal with strangers from the Internet? Well, it's not like we haven't been dealing with strangers every day anyhow. How are sites like Craiglist any different? Calling a taxi cab, eating at a restaurant, or staying at a hotel are all similar activites that we don't give a second thought.
