A story I didn't think we'd have time to get to actually becomes the theme behind our title! You'll have to tune in and listen all the way to the end to find out what that story is about. Don't cheat by fast forwarding... oh who am I kidding? Go ahead, skip to the end, we don't mind. Just be aware that if you do, you're gonna miss out on some awesome content!
For example, we debut 2 new sound effects on the soundboard this week. If you listened to our last show, you probably know what they are. They're from STAR WARS and 1 of them we'll be getting lots-o-use from.
First on the agenda is a recap of our panel at Anime St. George. What a blast that was. Everyone was so kind and happy to see us. They all really enjoyed — or seemed to enjoy at least — our crazy little hour. We did a costume contest, a Q&A, which Jabari and Charlie dominated, and we gave away some gag gifts as we're known to do.
Then it's onto another recap; this one of some noteworthy events that occurred while we were away. Things like the debut of the new Sheen-less TWO AND A HALF MEN. The apology letter and announcement from Netflix's CEO that the company would be splitting its service into 2 divisions. And then the news that R.E.M. has decided to call it quits after 30-years. You'll hear our thoughts on all these stories and more.
After getting caught up on last week's stories, we dive into this week's news. News Corp, you know, the company that has no morals, actually pays Bill O'Reilly to talk and owns FOX? Yeah, they seem to think THE SIMPSONS can be milked for a few more bucks and are pondering a network themed around the longest running prime time series.
Another coalition of parents with nothing better to do is up in arms. Surprisingly, they aren't mad over something they saw on TV but rather an ice cream inspired by something from TV! 'One Million Moms' are pissed at Ben & Jerry's over the name of their latest limited edition flavor. It's called "Schweddy Balls" and is inspired by a well-known SNL skit starring Alec Baldwin. They don't want kids asking mommy for some "Schweddy Balls" in the grocery store. But since the ice cream is clearly labeled as rum-flavored, mom would probably keep Junior from it anyway.
Every once in awhile our Breaking News segment features the folks who make the news. In this week's instance, a weatherman from Arkansas who was found sleeping in a hot tub next to a... you know what, like the story that inspired our episode title, you'll have to wait until the end to hear this one.
