We hope you enjoy it.

Hi everyone, welcome to Episode Forty Three: ""Well I am just sick," and I said "And tired." I don't remember anything after that." This week unfortunately, I am sick and Frank is tired.  

  In this show, we discuss True Blood, Imagine That, we have some news stories we want to voice our opinion on, and a new segment that we may or may not continue, "I don't want to tell you how to do you job, but...." As always, there are douche-bags a plenty this week.

I hope you enjoy, and we'll be back with a longer show next week. 

Music this week is from: Jace Everett - "Bad Things"  Coheed and Cambria - "Welcome Home" and P!nk - "So What?" as usual, our closing song is Killer Dwarfs - "We Stand Alone."

Here is episode Forty Two. "I know this great restaurant at the end of the universe."

Nothing much to report for this episode.

Except for some super awesome Futurama news, making fun (in a playful way) of the French, Megan Fox (again,) Olivia Munn, Twitter, Fed Ex and the World of Warcraft "connection," Terminator: Salvation, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Live Outside the Cinema, The Hangover, what happened to Land of the Lost, in listener feedback you can hear what Bri googled, some (not that) angry voicemail and our thoughts on killing people to prove that killing people is wrong.

It's a rambling scatterbrained episode of Are You Serious!

Music this week is from:
Social Distortion - I Was Wrong (live)
Dropkick Murphys - Famous for Nothing
Lick the Tins - Middle of the Night
Killer Dwarfs - We Stand Alone

Hope you enjoy!

Episode Thirty Nine: "Besides, attacking that battle station ain't my idea of courage. It's more like... suicide."

We briefly talk about the first season of True Blood (WARNING!! Major spoilers!!) As well as the season finale of Lost.

Episode Thirty Eight: "His high exaltedness, the Great Jabba the Hutt, has decreed that you are to be terminated immediately."

Here we have episode thirty eight, in all of it's overblown, bloated, narcissistic glory!  We have an extra segment somehow in this episode and the runtime is (in Frank's opinion) "a little long."

TOO BAD!! Apparently, we had a whole lot to say this week. The reigns are off and we can talk about the worst run theater in all of New England. This is the show I've been waiting for. It didn't have all of the venom and vitriol that I wanted to include, but, you have to save some for later!

Music this week is from
Rob Zombie - "I'm Your Boogie Man"
Simple Minds - "Don't You (Forget About Me)"
Ugly Kid Joe - "Everything About You"
Guns N Roses - "My Michelle"

Thanks everyone for following our escapades! We are still having a lot of fun doing the show and appreciate your support!

Welcome everyone, to the audio version of...

Episode Thirty Six: "I don't think it would be the worst thing if they let me go. Because then I might..."

     This week, we talk about some recently seen movies as well as summer releases that we are looking forward to. We make some off color jokes that may or may not be funny. We go over our douche-bags of the week as well as a "good" story that is part of a comment we made all the way back in episode number 6.

We made the breaks a little different this week and only have one song:

"V is for Vampire" by Powerman 5000

(We still have "We Stand Alone" by the Killer Dwarfs as our closing song though!)
