Episode 18: Let’s Go Eboling

It’s National Best Friends Day, National Family Day, National Watermelon Day and a number of other silly days. Nhat and Tony start off talking about how time is perceived differently as you grow older. Nhat mentions how Blackbeard was killed and the legend surrounding his corpse. From there, we go into some morbid subjects. We celebrate National Family Day by mentioning alleged killers in our family. Tony sings a song for National Friendship Day. We make fun of strange death metal band names.

We briefly review Guardians of the Galaxy, which, we confirmed that using the words “Stars Wars” when talking about this movie wasn’t entirely too far-fetched in our humble opinion. Our bet was finally settled… back a few episodes ago, Tony didn’t think anyone was actually listening, so he bet Nhat lunch that we wouldn’t get anyone tweeting us to confirm that they were listeners by episode 20.

Sure enough, Annaleis (@wiretechgirl) from the Dark Angels And Pretty Freaks podcast tweeted that she was listening to our podcast while making dinner right when Tony and I were waiting to watch Guardians this past Wednesday evening. So Nhat won the bet and Tony takes him to Smashburger (it could’ve been a lot worse). We talk about movies that should’ve never had sequels. We wondered if getting Vin Diesel was really necessary for the voice of Groot. We take a light-hearted look at ebola.

We have another segment of “Who’s Shittier?” with another round of crap bands.

Episode 17: Growing Up Weird

It’s National Parents’ Day and National Scotch Day. We talk way too long about the band Dew Scented than we were anticipating. Then we go into what a chicken salad is expected to consist of. Tony still thinks his days at work are numbered and Nhat tries to get him to initiate violence in the workplace. We discuss the futility of relationships and if there is some sort of internal expiration date on them. We talk more about parents, growing up anti-social and getting into fights. Nhat has always had an aversion to sharp iron fences because he could imagine them gouging out his eyes. We discuss bad first date movies and the upcoming Marvel movies.

We ponder on how Ant-Man could actually be useful. We give a shoutout to Dark Angels And Pretty Freaks podcasters @wiretechgirl and @angelsfreak7 as they seem to be very supportive of their fellow podcasters.

Intro song of the week:

“Soul Poison” – Dew Scented

 Outro song of the week:

“Volcano” – Dethklok

Episode 16 (Part 1) : Beta Ray Bill Was Just A Space Anteater

Today is National Ice Cream Day and National Lollipop Day. Nhat thinks that after a certain age, guys can’t really eat lollipops without making it look like they’re fellating it – or else it just sits uncomfortably in your cheek. They argue about what counts as “Last Saturday,” for some dumb-ass reason. Tony mentions Ashley Madison to his co-workers for some strange reason and then has to explain it to his boss (or whomever) and he shows disgust in a “Mormonly” way, which Tony can’t seem to describe, even though he was in person to see it a mere two days ago. We talk about religion and the apparent mythology of it all.We discuss the upcoming Avengers 2 movie and Tony thinks it’s too much all at once. Nhat thinks people are too quick to go racist now, after Mastodon’s Twitter account got hacked and all they posted was n-bomb racial slurs.. so racism is really affecting the youth again. Tony read that Spider-Man 3 is in danger because of the poor effort in Spider-Man 2. Nhat brings the hate to Jamie Foxx. Nhat also thinks Beta Ray Bill was a space anteater. They wonder if now that Thor is a woman, would she still wield the hammer or another weapon?

Tony sends “The Assumption Song” to our Twitter, but forgets to title it, so no one knows if they want to click on it. We play it for you. We also play the “Cunt Song,” which is the other video Tony sent without a title. Tony tries to get Nhat a date, in the creepiest way possible. We talk a bit about older rock bands.

Intro song of the week:

“Losing My Mind” – Chimaira

Featured album of the week (Judas Priest – Redeemer of Souls):

“Battle Cry” – Judas Priest

Outro song of the week:

“Convalescence” – Darkest Hour

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.

Intro song of the week:

“Rise From The Ashes” – Nuclear Assault

Featured album of the week:

“Leave Home” – The Ramones

Outro song of the week:

“Parasite” – Iced Earth
