Welcome to our most alcohol fueled episode in a while. Listen and be amazed at the fluidity of out hosts as we discuss Islands in the Stream of poop, how, like the Hoff, we're huge in Germany, the iDong, the SVR crew's drinking tolerance, how various vampires might vamp for time (which leads off into a discussion of how Twilight and Laural K. Hamilton have royally screwed up the supernatural fiction market), and our various experiences with kidney stones. And all of this before we even get into our first topic.
We start out (finally) with the (since debunked) rumor that the bosses at both Newscorp and G.E., owner of NBC and MSNBC, brokered a deal to end the feud between Keith Olbermann and Bill O'Reily. We also touch on the controversy about MSNBC still using Richard Wolfe even though he's become an advertised lobbyist without that being made explicitly obvious. We also comment on the relative quality of Olbermann's other fill-in hosts.
Sanguinist then gives us a look at why the Pittsburgh Pirates have sucked for most of the last two decades (and will likely continue to do so for the foreseeable future.) This also bleeds out into a discussion of the other sports that Sanguinist likes before moving on to talking about cooking (and we introduce the SVR Chalupacabra!)
We then make a mountain out of a molehill by giving a conspiracy theory about a batch of hand sanitizer recalled and destroyed because it was contaminated by a 'dangerous bacteria.' Sanguinist speculates that it may have be flesh eating bacteria (and we introduce our new band, Stephlococcus, and their debut album, PyroGenesis.) We also explore the wonderful world of necrotic venom.
The Boy gives us a study that suggests a possible reason for the failure of the video game industry to fall as far, economically, as had been expected; namely, that video games are an addiction. The Boys says, âNo shit.â We also reveal the secret of the SVR Stinger and challenge the Mythbusters to use an XBox with the Red Ring of Death to cook ramen. The Boy then gives us a look at the demo of the new Call of Duty and Sanguinst gives us his views on Fallout 3. This somehow leads into another wrestling discussion focusing on Bobby Lashly's move to TNA.
We close out the show with a review of Feast, another horror film that was far better than it deserved to be. Spoilers abound as we show how this movie turns more than a few horror movie tropes on their heads.
