Failed Initiative

Technically, this show was a god damned mess, but we made the best of it with Sesame Street, Ninja Turtles, leaky ceilings, and more semi-post-grunge-ironic woman bashing.  Also why can’t we wear things that we think are pretty? BECAUSE CULTURE. Download it now!Read More →

This week we cover the Ashley Madison dump, an attempted pokemassacre, woman makers, and busy culture!  Plus a bunch of other things, like Dan’s Twitch stream!  Nick talks shit on Hitchhiker’s Guide.  Because it’s shit, mostly. Something something towels and answers. Download it now!Read More →

So many people.  Much talk.  Sam, Nick, Dani, and Billy throw down and discuss Marriage, State’s rights, Melting deer, and French Cabbies.  Poor Uber.  Dan is off on the left coast still, sorry Dan-fans! Tonight we party, a group of friends together- talking and laughing. Haiku by TheDailyDani! Download it now!Read More →

Let’s be honest, the only thing that matters this week is Sam spits up all over her microphone. Twice.  Besides that though, we talk about overeating, terrestrial radio, adopting pets, and the periodic table of elements!  Also no Dan.  Sad face.

In this episode James fought Isaac Newton and lost, we talked about a big scary porn game from our youth, Agar.io, and attempted to discuss the Marvel universe but got lost, confused, and gave up. Enjoy this mess of a show. Download it now!Read More →

No Dan this week, he’s off living life in the big city!  Sam and Nick drop some knowledge on professionalism, voice acting, Coachella, and try to figure out what the Queen really thinks of the LBGTQ community.
