Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 19 Sep 2019 13:20:17 +0000

EpiDose 384- Borrowing Babies

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 05 Sep 2019 14:03:59 +0000

Phil poses an interesting question. As none of us are parents and 2/3 of us own dogs - you can imagine how this goes… Or can you? Because you probably didn’t account for Triple Latte Ben. Huzzah! Enjoy! ps - Reasons to borrow a baby: some sort of fraud, to get on a lifeboat, to [...]

EpiDose 383- Krazy for Ketchup

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 29 Aug 2019 13:57:40 +0000

No potato - whether fried, baked, or saladed - is safe from Geoff’s love of ketchup. Ben’s on the same boat. Those two are like peas in a pod (which they’d also likely smoother in ketchup). Max on the other hand is on team mustard and bbq sauce. But a least all three agreed on [...]

EpiDose 382- Toys R Us Kids

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 22 Aug 2019 16:11:35 +0000

Old man Geoff hates a lot of things. Like the topic. And how you use language. But not dick tutus. Wizened old millennial, Hollywood, blames participation trophies. Stuff about generational cohorts, the rise of fun, entitlement and expectations, not being taught how to fail, and humanity's greatest strength and weakness. Then things get dark. Thanks, [...]

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 18 Jul 2019 15:17:04 +0000

This week is all about social customs and norms, the way we treat our friends versus strangers, and farts. There’s no time for foreplay.... we’re too busy ballin’ on a budget and screwing up Geoff’s sound. (Our bad. Ben catches it pretty quick.) Geoff asserts dominance. It always depends for Max. And Ben does his [...]

EpiDose 374- Road Side Shoes

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 27 Jun 2019 14:06:48 +0000

Maybe it was a violent crime. Possibly involving a hitchhiker. Maybe a huge gust of wind came, knocked the person out of them, and blew one away. Maybe the previous owner filled it with birdseed and the bird got tired and dropped it. Maybe it was left on the top of a car. Maybe it’s [...]

EpiDose 373- Consensual Bloflexing

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 20 Jun 2019 14:40:36 +0000

EpiDose 370- Pettisauruses and Geoffguanadons

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 30 May 2019 13:29:49 +0000

Perhaps you've noticed. We don’t like to choose between options “A” and “B.” What good is having cake if you're not gonna eat it? So, instead of selecting a statue in our likeness being made or a dinosaur being named after us, we decided to commission statues of us riding the dinosaurs we made up. [...]

EpiDose 368- Music and Memory

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 16 May 2019 16:44:37 +0000

There's a reason we learn to sing the alphabet. It's because our brains are wired for novelty and pattern recognition. This leads Max to wonder why our entire educational lives aren't just one big musical. It leads Geoff to wade through his closet of discarded printers. And, it leads Ben to sing all the hits. [...]

EpiDose 367- Worlds Biggest Haiku

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 09 May 2019 14:33:13 +0000

Quick - write a haiku that's going to be carved into a mountain for millions of people to see. Not as simple as it sounds, right? I mean, is this a tourist destination or are people reading it as they drive by? The answer might affect your font choice. Is Geoff allowed to etch his [...]

EpiDose 366- You Messed With The Wrong Jesus

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 02 May 2019 14:49:34 +0000

EpiDose 365- I Am Not Ants

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 25 Apr 2019 13:56:47 +0000

EpiDose 364- Spirit Instruments

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 18 Apr 2019 14:08:22 +0000

Everyone talks about spirit animals. Which is why we're talking about spirit instruments... Max is moved by strings. Geoff jams with jugs.

EpiDose 363- Tin Foil Hats and Gravy

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 11 Apr 2019 15:53:53 +0000

In a weird way this whole show is really one long definition of a word Ben struggled to define at the end of the show. A malapropism is the name we give to those times when you say the wrong word, but the word you say sounds like the word you meant to say. Kinda [...]

EpiDose 362- Laser Balls

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 04 Apr 2019 14:07:03 +0000

Anything that's advanced enough looks like magic... Placebos are powerful. This week it's some hippie healing stuff, which means Max is front and center.

EpiDose 359- Liked Respected or Feared

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 14 Mar 2019 14:07:31 +0000

Between the three - which would you choose? Are you like Ben? The jumping-heel-clicking-fist-pumping Chaz Palminteri who took Sonny's lesson to heart? Are you like Geoff?

EpiDose 358- Musical Theatre 101

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 07 Mar 2019 15:20:35 +0000

The topic clearly stated that Ben needed to be here. And it's a good thing it did. Lord knows, if he weren't this episode would be 30 minutes of wide-eyed, panic-stricken silence between Geoff and Max. It's the King of the Rock Musical vs. The Father of the Contemporary American Musical. (Otherwise known as Ben [...]

EpiDose 357- Consume More

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 28 Feb 2019 16:47:16 +0000

Pat wants to know why our economy is based on consumption. We want to know what blood-splattered handkerchiefs have to do with anything. The thing is, aren't all economies tuberculosis based? What would happen if we took away desire and leveled the playing field with a Star Trek type situation? Better listen in to find [...]

EpiDose 356- Roots in the Rockies

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 21 Feb 2019 17:30:10 +0000

EpiDose 355- Least Favorite Colors

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 14 Feb 2019 17:36:35 +0000

EpiDose 352- Racist Aliens

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 24 Jan 2019 19:58:53 +0000

Is the reason alien's haven't come to see us because they're racist? (Or would that make them speciesist?) Did you know we're all just some fancy armor for amino acids? Bleach blond tips and bald spots are "in" this season, right? No? Shit. Someone should probably tell Max. Long live our deer friend the Proto-elk! [...]

EpiDose 351- Catching Cover Bands

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 17 Jan 2019 18:54:43 +0000

It's Theseus Ship meets Rock 'n Roll. How many original members can a band lose before it's no longer the actual band? When this tipping point is reached - would you rather see the "original" band or a group of likely younger musicians covering the original band's songs? There's no right answer. There's only Mick [...]

Benji's out being a dad, but it's ok because Jay Seevers fills in. And boy does he. This week Felipe Nunez wants us to discuss what superpowers various religious figures might have. So we did.

Remember two days ago when you sat down to a meal and thought, "Hmmm...this would really be better with a foon." No? But it's the shark of cutlery.

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 21 Jan 2016 07:04:49 +0000

Erica Aren doesn't think time makes sense or that anyone can explain it. And that's because it doesn't and they can't.

We aren't smoking 'em but we are talking about 'em, sort of. Cousin Brian wants to know about the aesthetic value of trees. But we're more interested in if Steve Urkel killed the catchphrase.

EpiDose 178- BY THE POWER OF GRAYSKULL

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 24 Sep 2015 06:18:53 +0000

Jonah in Washington, DC wants to know about secret identities.

EpiDose 176- ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 10 Sep 2015 07:25:39 +0000

It's a good thing Jay Seevers decides to stop by. He's the only reason the show doesn't descend into a history lesson about the Cleveland Browns.

EpiDose 175- EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 03 Sep 2015 16:02:48 +0000

This week's show is about one of life's big questions: are funeral-erections inappropriate? Wait, not that one. Does everything happen for a reason? It's free will versus fate. Two concepts enter and only one survives. Unless you're Max. Did you know that God loves Benji? Or that Hollywood has beautiful wings? Remember : 1) Humans [...]

EpiDose 174- YOU GOT TRUMPED

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 27 Aug 2015 17:41:51 +0000

Jay Seevers stops back by Consensual Studios to fight the good fight and look for his hands.

Hollywood is up in arms about [...]

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 20 Aug 2015 16:51:58 +0000

This week Benji's better half, Jessica, wants us to talk about marriage. Is it worth it? Is it what you thought it'd be? What has it taught you? And it turns out the answers are yes, no, and sometimes you don't know you need taken care of until somebody starts. Remember : 1) Chasing the [...]

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 06 Aug 2015 16:32:47 +0000

Funny thing about blacking out - it's tough to remember. But that doesn't stop Boston Gabby from making us talk about it. Hooray! Benji offers helpful advice on handling solicitors.

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 23 Jul 2015 08:07:08 +0000

Hollywood is out trying to earn a buck. Elwin Green is back in Consensual Studios. But it's really Dave Blake's topic that steals the show.

EpiDose 168- INNER HAPPINESS

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 16 Jul 2015 06:17:28 +0000

With Hollywood off getting paid to be awesome, Max is left on sound. He did the best he could...which is good because Elwin Green is in-studio all the way from Dayton, OH. Lucky for us he knows a thing or two about happiness...and that's what this EpiDose is all about. Remember : 1) Oklahoma invented [...]

EpiDose 167- BEHOLD YOUR SUPERPOWERS

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 09 Jul 2015 07:21:44 +0000

The Weather Man, Tomorrow, and Sand Bird face off thanks to Felipe Nunez. What? You've never heard of these superheroes or villains? Well, that's because we made them up.

This week we are down our third-half as Benji is too busy being dad. But, the always entertaining Kevin Alan steps in to take his place. It's too bad though...because if there's one things that Benji loves it's midgets. Cody Pendleton wants to know if we'd rather be a really short or really tall.... Remember [...]

EpiDose 165- DADDY DAUGHTER DOES DALLAS

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 25 Jun 2015 07:07:41 +0000

Is it bad there are a lot of creepy erection jokes in an EpiDose about daddy daughter dances? If so - just blame Kevin Alan and his awkward 6th grade boner. Or Mindi Thrash. It was her topic. But first we need to figure out if we're talking about the wedding tradition or the social [...]

EpiDose 164- WHICH BEATLE YOU IS

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 18 Jun 2015 05:55:26 +0000

Suck it, Briggs Myers. This week we've got a Beatles personality test thanks to our guest, Kevin Alan. Who cares that he drew this own topic from the bowl? Wanna know why Benji is like Ringo? Or about how the word "yes" began a life-long love? Maybe you're more interested how Darius Rucker became a [...]

EpiDose 163- YOUR FAVORITEST BOOKS

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 11 Jun 2015 07:05:42 +0000

Max's dad, Gary, wants to know what our favorite books are...but not before he forces us to break an in-house rule. It's the first ever topic re-draw. Gasp!

EpiDose 162- MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 04 Jun 2015 06:08:58 +0000

What is the most useless Transformer? That's what Mike Hammerling wants to know, good thing we Kevin Alan in studio to help us figure it out. Hollywood gets shamed. Benji gets confused.

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 28 May 2015 17:38:04 +0000

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 21 May 2015 18:58:30 +0000

Good friend of the show, Phil Roerbacher, asks an age old question - Whiskey or Vodka? ...But we want to know what we're wearing. Are we in linen? Flannel? A funny hat? Besides, with so many other delicious choices what sort of philistine would limit it to just those two? Sure, gin may smell like [...]

EpiDose 159- AFTERNOON AND-ALL-OTHER-TIMES DELIGHT

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 14 May 2015 13:53:48 +0000

Are you like College Max and like it in the mornings? Are Benji-afternoon-geurrilla-style romps more your speed? Or, do you prefer to do it in the evenings like Hollywood? This week, Mike Reid wants to know - when is the best time to have sex? Don't mind the technical difficulties around the two minutes mark, [...]

EpiDose 158- INANIMATE OBJECT A-HOLES

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 07 May 2015 13:38:42 +0000

Matt Riley wants to know about resistentialism and which inanimate objects would be the worst to deal with if they sentient. What if your shower had the personality of a pervey homeless dude? Do all pickles sound like Will Ferrel playing Harry Caray? Don't you think all Segways are named Lance and wear a scarf? [...]

EpiDose 157- HINDU GODS

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 30 Apr 2015 16:34:54 +0000

In honor of turning three, we wanted to release an EpiDose that really does the name of the show proud. Thanks to Rekha Roa's questions - which hindu god would you be? - we can. Benji auditions for The Gong Show, Max leaves all his friends behind, and Hollywood's spirit animal in Dumbo. Remember : [...]

EpiDose 156- STAR WARS PREQUELS AND PUNCH

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 23 Apr 2015 15:42:56 +0000

Our buddy from the Bay area, Adam Arenstein, wants to know if Star Wars can live up to the hype. See, this 33 year old had never seen the original trilogy (until a very recent visit to Colorado) and wanted to know about expectations and build up. Too bad it turns into a half hour [...]

EpiDose 155- FORCED FREE FALLS

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 16 Apr 2015 15:50:05 +0000

Benji's has done it solo, Max has done it with another man, and Hollywood will never do it. This week we're talking about skydiving courtesy of Tim Mahon. Did you know that you don't really have the sensation of losing your stomach when falling out of the plane? Or that the state of Alabama isn't [...]

EpiDose 154- THE GOSPEL OF LEBRON

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 09 Apr 2015 20:10:50 +0000

This week Max's father, Gary Sirak, wants to know about holding grudges (all thanks to Akron, OH's favorite prodigal son). Are you like Hollywood and blame Canada? Do you fall more into Benji's camp of no second chances? Maybe you're like Max and prefer to take yours out on fast food chains and athletes you've [...]

EpiDose 153- HOLLYWOOD SAYS SUCK IT

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 02 Apr 2015 16:45:44 +0000

Everyone can thank our own Ben-Hollywood-Captain-Jub-Jub-Mongoleian-Pork-Bundles-Whitmore for this gem. But, it is kind of fitting. I mean, who else would have the gall to demand oral fulfillment? In the interest of full disclosure, this topic was actually the test email we sent to "topics" to make sure it worked all those years ago. Remember : [...]

EpiDose 152- MYSTICAL CREATURES FIGHT FOREVER

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 26 Mar 2015 16:39:23 +0000

Come one, come all to the Monster Celebrity Deathmatch! This week, Mark Sprague stops by in time to discuss Dave Blake's topic: Who would win in a fight between Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster?

EpiDose 151- POOPY DIARRHEA PANTS

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 19 Mar 2015 15:15:54 +0000

This EpiDose is actually the 200th one we recorded and pro-tip - do not listen to it at mealtime. You'll learn a lot about Hollywood, some about Benji, a bit about Max, and maybe even a little something about yourself. Phil Roerbacher wants us to talk about poop, and you know what, we decided we [...]

EpiDose 150- ULTIMATE MUSIC SOULDOWN

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 12 Mar 2015 16:58:21 +0000

Our homie, Felipe Nunez, gave us a game to play - In a battle of the bands with your soul at stake, who would you choose? Good thing our buddy, Mark Sprague, was sitting in to lend us his line-up. It doesn't matter that we can't remember how to keep score, it's cool. We totally [...]

EpiDose 149 – NETHER PAINS

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 05 Mar 2015 15:04:02 +0000

Congratulations and welcome to the longest EpiDose to date! Either Phil Collins or Nic Cage wants to know which is worse: crotch pain or butt pain and we do our best. Did you know that giraffes have two hearts (they're Time Lords!)? Or, that sexual numbers are sort of like hospital pain charts? What about [...]

EpiDose 148- BIG BLACK DUCKS

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 26 Feb 2015 20:06:50 +0000

Better an absent host than an absent father. With Benji busy being a dad, the unsinkable Kevin Brown (Alan) come's to the rescue only to get his mind blown...by a dick joke. Funny though, it all started innocent enough with a question from Tom Coyne: Which animated duck is better Daffy, Darkwing, or Donald? But [...]

EpiDose 147- TAKE A SELFIE

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 19 Feb 2015 21:13:32 +0000

Why do the opinions of strangers matter so much? Is our self-esteem that fragile? Are we all channeling our inner Ron Burgundy and just want people to come see how good we look? What is pretty funny and extremely abused? The selfie. Special guest, David Dunlap, stops by to tell us about looking like Meatloaf [...]

EpiDose 146- FACEBOOK FIRED

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 12 Feb 2015 17:07:18 +0000

If people were smart with their stuff, it wouldn't be a problem. If people didn't overreact, it wouldn't be a problem. If people stopped misrepresenting themselves, it wouldn't be a problem. Unfortunately, we're all people...which means that sometimes social media gets away from us. D-Train wants to know if people should be fired because of [...]

EpiDose 145- DREAMS OF POSEIDON

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 05 Feb 2015 22:27:23 +0000

Have you ever been ear-tube-water-boarded? What about being chased around a house that isn't your house by a shadow and escaped outside only to discover that the driveway and the minivan parked in it are covered in bees? No? Hmmm....well, then what sort of recurring dreams have you had? That's what Misty Summer (such an [...]

EpiDose 144- BLIND BUTTHOLES

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 29 Jan 2015 17:47:53 +0000

Do you fold, wrap, or crumple? Are wet wipes your go-to? We got a doozy of a topic from Nick Albu and had a lot of fun giving it our best shot, at least for three non-visually impaired guys discussing the implications of blindness in the bathroom. I mean, how do you know when you're [...]

EpiDose 143- ALIENS ARE HERE

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 22 Jan 2015 19:04:39 +0000

First off, we apologize for the technical difficulties, but, let's be honest, no one actually cares what Hollywood has to say, right? In all seriousness, this is just further proof of our commitment to unedited entertainment. Speaking of truth, did you know there are about enough facts out there to prove almost anything? It's true. [...]

EpiDose 142- CAWFEE TAWK

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 15 Jan 2015 17:26:44 +0000

Hollywood love's it. Benji is back on it. Max got beat with it in middle school. This week it's all about the wonderful deliciousness of coffee (although, turns out caffeine stories are nowhere near as entertaining as cocaine stories). Did you know that you were supposed to use milk and sugar to make flavored coffee [...]

EpiDose 141- TOOTSIE POPS

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 08 Jan 2015 20:03:27 +0000

Are you a sucker or a chomper? Is it about efficiency or giving up? The destination or the journey? Nina Waters from Twitter wants to know how many licks does it take to get to the candy center of a Tootsie Pop? Remember : 1) There is a difference between pleasing a woman and eating [...]

EpiDose 140- LIFESTLYES AND ANDES

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 01 Jan 2015 19:02:45 +0000

Happy 2015!!! What would it be like if at 18 years old you had to register to vote and choose a condiment? One single condiment (to rule them all) and it was the only one you could ever use? That's what Rachel Zukrow wants to know, and with the help of Phil Rohrbacher, we do [...]

EpiDose 139- TORTURED SOULS AND NICKELBACK

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 25 Dec 2014 19:11:38 +0000

Does creativity come from having extra-feelings? Because you know the art, do you know the artist? Is it the sensitive that create the great? Is there any great music that doesn't come from tortured soul? Is pop-country better than real-country? Does art only come from experience? Who knows? Remember : 1) Native American's are the [...]

EpiDose 138- MAX SUX JAG RAGS

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 18 Dec 2014 18:16:08 +0000

In honor of Hanukkah... Was it his chubby middle school days? What about his sad Hebrew School story? Maybe it's one of the other 15 reasons that comes up in this epidose featuring good friend of the show, Phil Rohrbacher. Someone wants us to talk about "Max Sux" and by god we give the people [...]

EpiDose 137- GAMBLING THE AMERICAN DREAM

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 11 Dec 2014 17:05:39 +0000

From the Coca-cola commercials of the 50's to the reality TV of today, the American Dream has changed. It used to be the immigrant dream, now it's a dream of immigration. All of us in the States are just trying to get to Canada. But, more importantly, there are all sorts of new toys for [...]

EpiDose 136- UNSOLICITED ADVICE

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 04 Dec 2014 17:15:49 +0000

Just because someone told you something as a kid doesn't mean it makes good advice as an adult, isn't that right special guest Jeff Wacker? You can only believe none of what you hear and half of what you read...unless it's on the Internet, then it's like hearing it, only you're reading...unless it's a podcast. [...]

EpiDose 135- HELP HELP IM BEING SELF OPPRESSED

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 27 Nov 2014 17:44:17 +0000

If everyone goes chasing their dreams, then who's going to do the stuff that makes the world work? Sure, none of us enjoy being bossed around by a chest of drawers, but society is in part based on some self-control. We all can't be fully actualized warlords, right? Look, we know it would better to [...]

EpiDose 134- HUGS AND DRUGS

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 20 Nov 2014 18:09:11 +0000

Special guest, Jeff Wacker, sits in for a conversation about responsible drug use brought to you by Trucker-Meth!

Remember : 1) Sugar - the original white powder that gets people [...]

EpiDose 133- KENTUCKY FRIED POKEMON

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 13 Nov 2014 17:59:37 +0000

Is there anything wrong with enslaving cute, innocent, sentient creatures to fight for our amusement? Nah...as long as it is on Gameboy and has a customizable card game and a cartoon to go along with it. Chinpokomon! This week it's all about the moral implications of Pokemon. Remember : 1) Gay lumberjacks are the secret [...]

EpiDose 132- YOUR TEAM SUCKS

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 06 Nov 2014 18:09:30 +0000

Why do you hate the teams you hate? Are you like Benji and it's because their fans are d-bags? Could it be that your arch-rival team lacks heart or bought there players for obscene amounts of cash? That's what makes Hollywood hate teams. Ironic, right? Max and special guest Tim Ackerman hate obnoxious winners. Remember [...]

EpiDose 131- MASTERS OF TIME SPACE AND BOOBIES

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 30 Oct 2014 16:23:25 +0000

What do air guitar, a dying panda, and the saddest Stephen Hawking birthday party have in common? Probably not much, at least not until I&U gets their dirty little dickbeaters on them. If you could see all time and space, what would you do? Would you suffer from the Cassandra Complex or the Bill and [...]

EpiDose 130- DISNEY PRINCESS RAINBOW DREAMS

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 23 Oct 2014 16:02:52 +0000

C'mon, we've all see a bunch of Disney movies, right? Well, it turns out Hollywood has (he knows all the words to Frozen) but Max and Benji are pretty useless. Good thing Benji IS a Disney Princess. That makes it way easier when he and the rest of the gang have to choose their favorite. [...]

EpiDose 129- OH THE PLACES YOU MAY ONE DAY GO

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 16 Oct 2014 13:33:35 +0000

How well do you know the place you live? Are you like a farmer? Do you have all the special keys for NYC? Do you live by old 427 in Lake Mary or some place more exotic, like Detroit? Max confuses Hollywood with algebra and then offends a whole city. Benji is on the lam [...]

EpiDose 128- DYNAMIC DUOS

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 09 Oct 2014 12:32:58 +0000

Batman and Robin? Abbott and Costello? Brian and Stewie? Laurel and Hardy? Bugs and Daffy? Shaggy and Scooby? Tom and Jerry? Tomax and Xamot? Freddy and Jason? Lonestar and Barf? Felix and Oscar? Ren and Stimpy? Pinky and The Brain? C3PO and R2D2? Candlestick and the clock guy? Which is the best dynamic duo? That's [...]

EpiDose 127- FREAKS AND GREEKS

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 02 Oct 2014 18:01:25 +0000

Professor Hollywood, Master of Mythology, shines this week (but doesn't he always?). Special guest, Kevin Alan, picks on a kid with disabilities (it's the DC way!). Max asks random questions and chooses Kevin Sorbo. All the while Benji is screaming for more mechanical owl! Is the term Christian Mythology offensive? Who's ever heard of a [...]

EpiDose 126- CHARITABLE DONATIONS TO US

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 25 Sep 2014 07:49:44 +0000

This week's release features not one, but two special guests (albeit one is a four-month old). Actor, Kevin Alan, returns and Benji's daughter, Riley, joins us as we discuss charities.

Ignorant and Uninformed — Wed, 17 Sep 2014 15:54:11 +0000

Tana Fox wants to know about the yucky things we've done and it turns out special guests Kevin Alan and Riley Pickens have plenty to say...well...Kevin does at least, Riley doesn't really talk yet. Kevin apologizes to our non-existent fan base. Benji gets Costa-Rican-caught. Hollywood the Corruptor cleans up a boozy night of Strogranoff, and [...]

EpiDose 124- CORPORATE SHAME

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 11 Sep 2014 16:13:08 +0000

Special guest, Kevin Alan, sits down to discuss crappy jobs. Whether it's because you are "Merchant of Death" like in Thank You For Smoking or simply doing something on the grosser side of things (cleaning Port-O-Johns in winter) there are some bad ways to make a buck. What's the worst? Monsanto? Abortion doctor? Fracking? Halliburton? [...]

EpiDose 123- MOVIE ARMY WAR

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 04 Sep 2014 15:04:20 +0000

If you had to choose one movie to be your army and one continent to launch your assault for all-out-world-domination from, what would they be? Classically trained Shakespearean actor, Kevin Alan, goes classic horror down-under. Max is staying warm with an alien in their Antarctic Fortress of Companionship. Benji takes the World War Z zombies [...]

From Honky Problems to The Fresh Prince and To Catch A Predator with many stops in between. Do you know the difference between Fruit of the Loom and Haynes?

EpiDose 121- BOOK ARE READING

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 21 Aug 2014 15:54:47 +0000

It's a full house in Consensual Studios as Rob "Roll-tide" Williams and Mike Ritzman stop by again and this time it's all about books you lied about reading. Is it bad that the bible was one of the first brought up? Probably not. Do catalogs count as books? What if Brad Pitt played Huckleberry Finn? [...]

EpiDose 120- MYTHICAL NIGHTMARES

Ignorant and Uninformed — Thu, 14 Aug 2014 17:37:58 +0000

Look, zombies have been enjoying the apocalyptic limelight for a while now, which is why this EpiDose is all about apes, bugs, and Scientology. Max gets ninja-put in his place, Benji goes micro, and little kid Hollywood kicks the ocean. We enact the No-Reeves-Rule, discuss the stellar fore shadowing of Pacific Rim (job), and of [...]
