About this Episode
"I did not think I would hear the term 'Viking Skank' today." Steve decides that Hilary Swank is a female Willem Dafoe but without the acting chops. The start of the show catches Steve a little off-guard, and he wonders what animal has the deepest throat before ultimately deciding on his ex-wife. Steve also offers some wise words to the listeners: "If it's not getting you laid or getting you paid, you need to stop doing it." Can't argue with that. A spam email produces a coupon that seems mildly inappropriate, and we decide that "rubbers" or "jimmies" is funnier than "condoms". Our friend, sponsor, and frequent contributor Jim Ashley chimes in with a guest commentary submission. The reality of the 50 Shades series is discussed (SPOILER ALERT: It's not BDSM, it's assault and battery). Meanwhile, Brad absolutely refuses to watch Brokeback Mountain, despite Steve's insistence that it's a comedy and not a drama, and Steve discovers a new way to describe Godzilla's (or Godzirra's) son. We learn that a naked owl looks like it's been on meth but wonder if owls are immortal. AOC is saying stupid things again and we're all over it, just like Steve would be all over her if the scenario and proper motivation were presented. Steve enlightens us on the be-all-end-all universal fix for broken phones, we wonder if Ross Perot is dead (he's not) or if it's the Mandela Effect, and we have an honest discussion about cops. "It would behoove you to get this taken care of." This episode's Virginia Tech Update involves the sadness of the necessity of buying an extra game against Marshall just to gain bowl eligibility. "There is nothing sweeter than the tears of a Hokie." "It's a grandma's arm on the front of his face." "Fucking Black Elvis. That's awesome." Brad offers a small writing update and discusses the merits of the TV show "Renegade". We wrap up with a discussion of the beach and hope for the new year. All this and more in episode 19!
