Episode 15: And That’s What’s Wrong With Society Today…
Today is National French Fries Day and National Beans And Franks Day. Tony and Nhat go to Juicy Burgers & Fries to celebrate the occasion. Nhat orders fries, but gets none, but doesn’t get charged. They end up giving him free fries because of the blessed occasion. Nhat has a horrific dream to share and Tony talks about the time he was fighting off zombies and burglars in his sleep and managed to punch the wall in mid-dream.
We find out that Tony produces extra saliva in his mouth (along with producing extra sweat), so much so that he’ll occasionally choke on his own spit for no apparent reason. Tony’s co-worker is let go mysteriously after 16 years with the same company as a productive worker and Tony thinks he may be next. Colorado, unfortunately, is an At-Will Employment state, so people can be let go with no real justification needed and they talk about how or if something like that can be changeable.
We pay our respects to Tommy Ramone and play “Sheena Is A Punk Rocker” in tribute.

Episode 14: Mr. Tapeworm
Today’s episode starts with Tony hinting about how he would conspire to kill Nhat. Nhat said it would probably be his best revenge, is to have Tony put in jail for his murder. Both of them agree that Tony isn’t handsome enough to get a modeling contract like that good-looking ex-con guy to get out of there. C’mon women.. seriously? I thought you guys were supposed to be smarter than us. We discuss going to the Cherry Creek Arts Festival and paying way too much for lunch because of the bad setup of food booths. Tony says that Nhat is always hungry and dubs him “Mr. Tapeworm.” He then makes up his own variation of Mr. Tapeworm with the melody of Mr. Sandman.
We also discuss bad album covers and Tony remembers that he used to like lame bands like Exciter. We play a bit of the album and as we had predicted, we lost interest when the vocals came on. We talk about bad vocalists and then go onto giving Christian teen relationship advice, even though we know nothing about Christians, teens or relationships, for that matter.

Episode 13: Houston May Be Ugly, But…
It’s National Camera Day and National Waffle Iron Day. Nhat’s apartment complex catches on fire the last night his brother and sister were staying at his place. So this wasn’t actually explained in the podcast, but the title of this one stems from the time right after the fire was contained.. His brother remarks, “Houston may be ugly, but we don’t have shit like that happening….”
Yes, because buildings just spontaneously burst into flames every other day here. It was just an absurd statement from my brother, who, with his girlfriend, are always trying to bring Colorado down a notch or two because they’re stuck in Houston. We’re not entirely sure why. We also talk about whiny celebrities, being offensive to drum up tweets and attention in general and Nhat believes that the Ewok language may have had its roots in the Cambodian language.
We have more bands for our “Who’s Shittier?” segment and there’s some real crap this week. We discuss how we feel obligated to maintain appearances online, even though we don’t really need to.

Episode 12: Keep On Livin’ Ya Know
We get a little serious for the first part of this podcast and talk about mental illness in the family, deadbeat friends and just life in general. Then we go over the pros and cons of working in corporate America and what to expect if you’re thinking of “dwelving” (as Tony would say) into that world. Nhat makes a bet with Tony that we’ll eventually get a tweet from a listener before the 20th episode and winner buys lunch.
