This moves into cell phone ethics. After this dizzying display of opinionating, they go one step further and talk about IKEA trying out the idea of "Manland" where guys can hang out while their wives shop.

We begin with a few updates; first an update about a Blue Canary Cream Ale failure, a freakonomics update about teachers cheating because they have an incentive - students doing well on standardized tests. Then there was a comment on the blog that posted about Snopes calling a story we did that was an internet hoax. Thanks to anonymous for pointing that out to us. Then on to Scott Walker, Governor of Wisconsin, who not only has hired his aide's mistress for a secretarial job, but now it is revealed that he hired the son of one of his biggest supporters, totally unqualified, for a high paying government position. Forget about the fact that he doesn't have a college degree but does have 2 drunk driving convictions. But at least Gov. Walker is getting rid of those pesky unions and giving the corporations of the Koch brothers giant tax breaks. That man is an idiot. Then the boys start to talk finance and the GOP plan to cut Medicaid and hurt the poor and disabled in this country. Yea team. This leads to the end of the show, on a lighter note. Obama using Facebook as part of his reelection campaign, a giant turtle captured and treated, a teenager who was robbing a house and gt punched in the mouth had his mother go to the home to retrieve them. Thank the internet for people like this, otherwise we would never smile!

2011-02-08T14:18:00.000-08:00

The Vagina Monologues is made up of a varying number of monologues read by a varying number of women (initially, Eve Ensler performed every monologue herself, with subsequent performances featuring three actresses, and more recent versions featuring a different actress for every role). Every monologue somehow relates to the vagina, be it through sex, love, rape, menstruation, mutilation, masturbation, birth, orgasm, the variety of names for the vagina, or simply as a physical aspect of the body. A recurring theme throughout the piece is the vagina as a tool of female empowerment, and the ultimate embodiment of individuality. Every year a new monologue is added to highlight a current issue affecting women around the world. Every V-Day thousands of local benefit productions are staged to raise funds for local groups, shelters, crisis centers working to end violence against women. Syracuse University performs a benefit production. Becca, Manhattan Man's daughter is in it for the second year in a row and CSA is proud to present to you, her monologue, "The Angry Vagina"

CSA Episode 172 "Just too many guns..."

2011-02-06T12:29:00.000-08:00

Sometimes podcasts aren't all that funny. Sometimes we get onto a serious topic and have a good discussion about it. This is one of those times. We started off as we normally do, Manhattan Man joining us in the booth, doing a bit of an update about predictions, a carry over from our previous show. Well, after that the first topic was about guns and this took up the whole rest of the show. It happens sometimes, it really does, so bear with us on this serious talk about a serious topic.

Episode 172, a serious discussion...

2011-01-19T15:27:00.000-08:00

On this edition of CSA, the boys continue their internet travels across all that it has to offer. As they have done in the past, they start with the Beloit College Mindset list, the things that the entering freshman class have always known or not known like who John McEnroe is or what Barney refers to.They have beanie babies and dead celebrities and colorful lapel ribbons. Then they move onto news from the internet including a man released from a Texas prison after 30 years of imprisonment due to DNA evidence which leads to discussion of the death penalty. Next up politics and the Democrats for Palin movement, who want her nominated because she cannot win the presidency. The sort of thing that would make Tricky Dicky or the Evil Genius Karl Rove just giddy if it wasn't against their own party. Up next, an article from Newsweek about what the internet has killed, including Blockbuster Video and the Yellow Pages. Finally the boys tout their next two shows - a review of their 2010 predictions and predicting things to come in 2011 with the very best in his field, Denali, great mystic of the show.

CSA Episode 168 - "Different show, same day..."

2011-01-13T13:43:00.000-08:00

So Maqz and T Fab P had so much to talk about, they just kept at it and did a second show on this night. They began (or continued with...) some discussion about a blog post T Fab P did on things bugging him which included weird tattoos and talking heads on the news always referring to global warming whenever there is a blizzard. This leads to the boys talking about climate change and the effects that even a slight warming can cause. Then Maqz goes off on evil Dick Cheney and the out of control of gas prices. T Fab P then gets back to his comparison list of how things are different in the world in 2010 as opposed to 2000. Maqz ends it all with a few internet oddities – a woman posing as a gynecologist and a woman who threatened a shop keeper with MRSA. As always a fun time for all!

PLEASE GIVE #168 A LISTEN!

CSA Episode 167 - So when do I get my Christmas present?

2011-01-09T17:10:00.000-08:00

On tonights episode, the last recorded in 2010, the boys take a little trip through the internet as they do each week. First there are some updates - Blue Canary Batch #3 is in the bottle and referencing some errors in Virginia history books, we discuss all the errors that were found in a review of thew history books used in the curriculum there. Then onto Amazon's new service soon to start called "Gift Alert" where you can exchange gifts before you get them. Of course. Maqz only had 16 cents for T Fab P's Christmas present so he is still waiting for it to arrive. This discussion gets into how the internet has changed things and the way we do it. This induces a Gary Larsen reference to something he wrote 10 years ago about not posting his comics on the internet. Then on a serious note, Maqz brings up an update regarding WikiLeaks and what he has been reading about it and the economic impact on donations to them. There also is some discussion about the ethics behind what we know and say about the whole issue.

Give our last show of the year a listen!

CSA Episode 166 - "A Few Stories as the Year Ends..."

2010-12-31T16:18:00.000-08:00

On tonight's episode, the last one for 2010, Maqz and T Fab P touch on a variety of subjects. Starting with an update about super beers, tactical nuclear penguin is challenged by three newer brews in Europe -The End of History, Start the Future, and Sink the Bismark. They also discuss why there are no American super beers - US regulations, and the time and money being too much. They then ask the most basic question, is it beer? Next up they move to Wikileaks, is it about power and the fact that they have been somewhat uncomfortable with Assange. Next is a Facebook story or two - a school committee attempts to regulate social media use by its teachers and then a Facebook racist rant by kids football coach and discussion as to whether he should be fired? We do a segment of "What's buggin Maqz as he relates a story about a football player who dropped a pass and then blamed God in his tweet. We didn't even know God was on Twitter. Wonder what his name is there Almighty_being? Be-all_and_end_all? The final three stories of the year are about a new iPhone app that is very scary and a Scandinavian author who came out very strongly about pirating material off the internet until her 10 year old pointed out she stole MP3's for her iPod, and the recent discovery through DNA testing that Ozzie Osborne has Neanderthal genes. Who would have guessed that huh?

2010-12-10T14:20:00.000-08:00

Well, the whole thing is a mouthful and the boys enjoyed doing it for you. And again thanks to Scott of Total Talk Nonsense for the inspiration for the title...

Next up is the creation of anti-matter at CERN and storage. Then it is onto the TSA and all the abuses that are being reported and the boys give it their usual best in discussing the merits and failures of this as a rights issue.

Maqz then talks about a list of things that he knows but that a lot of other people don't know. One thing they both know is that Sarah Palin is at it again! Then the discussion moves on to a couple orf comments made by a listener in an email. The first is on Pareidolia, the psychological phenomenon involving a vague and random stimulus (often an image or sound) being perceived as significant. Maqz and T Fab P refer to this as "Jesus, Cat Stevens or Evan." Here is the picture she sent. Who do you see?

Then the listener made a comment about misused language and the boys are taken down a peg. Well folks, that's it, enjoy the podcast!

2010-11-03T14:00:00.000-07:00

So this episode is a real treat. Maqz and the Penguin have been working on improving their sound quality and so they have been on the internet with each other more frequently this last week. When that happens, shows almost invariably happen which is what happened here. It was the night before election day, they got to talking about this and that and a show was born. First they talk about the Stewart/Colbert Rally for Sanity and/or Fear. Then they move onto some books being banned, one for a poor reason and one for a good reason. Then T Fab P brings up a list of crazy things that happened during this most recent election cycle. Finally Maqz pays tribute to Penguin Droppings. No, not the famous blog by T Fab P but really, a study about penguin shit. Well, at least the boys keep the topics well rounded. The image that Maqz is talking about is posted right here!

Listen to #160 for the Penguin Poo Story!

Maqz and T Fab P reserve the right to say "We told you so..." at a later date.

Have you ever wondered what it is like when Maqz and T Fab P are just chatting. Well if you were a fly on the wall, you would quickly find out they sound just like it's one of their shows except a bit wilder, a little more irreverent and a bit more on the edge. So this episode marks the beginning of a new series for the boys, sort of like CSA Raw. Little editing, it just shows the rambling style of their conversations when the boys are not seat belted in. Give it a listen, we hope you enjoy it...

Incandescent Gas Episode 1 - TV

CSA Episode 158 "The Hypocrisy Show"

2010-10-22T14:02:00.000-07:00

Don't get them started...
Don't ask them about hypocrisy in the GOP...Oh well you did, didn't you. So now they're going to give you 30 minutes of it. First they talk about all those GOP'ers who slam the Obama stimulus plan and say stop government spending, then write secret little letters to government agencies begging for stimulus cash for their pet projects. That takes a while. Eventually they go into taxpayers who do the same thing - decry government spending and then end up taking money gleefully from the government. After all this, they do a few weird internet stories and they are done.

Enjoy the CSA Hypocrisy Episode

CSA Episode 155 "Denali Gears..."

2010-09-24T15:22:00.001-07:00

So what does this mean. Well it had been a while since Denali had appeared with Maqz and T Fab P so they kind of let him control things by opening the show. After a funny story about a gay softball league (who would have thought they would bring that up???) The boys talk about Air Out My Shorts Podcast where Preston Buttons and the Word Whore read the tandem story T Fab P created with the help of nine friends, and provided their witty commentary about. Maqz is all upset because the Word Whore mistook his bad Mickey Spillane writing to be something a woman would write but everyone had a good laugh about it. The topic swings around for a while after that to Christine O'Donnell and masturbation, 4 Chan and the MPAA and finally comes to c close with a little "Inventor's Quiz" Lots of laughs and fun for all. Where does Denali Gears come in? You figure it out...

We at CSA Podcast, the podcast of record want to salute a true hero, Yonni Barrios, one of the trapped Chilean coal miners who is providing medical help to all the other miners trapped with him. So extraordinary the feat that his wife, Marta Salinas, in a show of support, has been keeping a vigil outside the mine entrance. So extraordinary a feat, that his girlfriend Suzana Valenzuela is also keeping a vigil outside the entrance to the mine. Well we guess Yonni is not too anxious to exit the mine when they are all eventually rescued. So while you await rescue, we dedicate this to you Yonni, a real hero...

Here is Yonni, the podcast!

We invite Joshua into the booth because we figure he is the only one who could understand all the blabbering about particles and waves and Einstein. Finally we discover we would have been better off having Bill Cosby joining us! After science, we move from showing everyone just how smart we are to showing just how dumb the population is with the results of a history and geography poll. Who did America declaire their independence from and where are some of the states in the US. To bring this train to a stop, Maqz gives us the full fictional names for some famous fictional people. Can you tell us the name of "the man behind the curtain". What about the man in the yellow hat, or the Monopoly cop., or the Skipper or the Professor? Listen to the show and find out!

T Fab P then brings up questions about the newly proposed NYS law that will require DNA samples from ALL people who are found guilty of a crime, even misdemeanors, and all hell breaks loose for a while. The show grinds to a halt with a "One to Dumb" story and then they call it a night. Special thanks to Manhattan Man for being the fearless leader of the troupe tonight!

CSA Episode 143 - Science will clear up the confusion...

2010-06-25T14:08:00.000-07:00

Tonight the boys start off in a state of confusion but Maqz the Scientist comes to the rescue to get us back on track. Maqz has a poll from Scientific America (and we know how painful that can be) and starts a discussion about the probability of 12 things happening in the next 40 years. Unfortunately the Penguin and Dnali, the hand picked guest for this type of prediction show, are a little less that totally cooperative and the adolescent humor abounds. However, Maqz strives on and keeps everyone on task until the end. So exhausted from all this science consideration, the last few minutes take a turn to the entertainment field as they quickly talk about George Carlin, William Shakespear and Hamlet by Dr. Who. The proverbial jaunt in the park is you ask us...

CSA Episode 142 - "You call this the high road?"

2010-06-13T14:20:00.000-07:00

Okay, yes, CSA, the Podcast of Record has its reputation to keep up. We live by one of our mottos, direct from the lips of Manhattan Man, "We take the high road!" Unfortunately, sometimes there are dips in the road (if you know what I mean) and some of our banter is immature and childish and bordering on shock-jock levels. No, this is not one of those times. Thats our story and we're sticking with it. Ok, we confess, on this episode the boiys, with Manhattan Man in attendance get out there on the childish express. Things start off fine with a quick upodate about the "nuclear option" to stop the Gulf Oil leak. As Manhattan Man says "Do we clean the duck or kill the ducks?" Then we take a turn off the highh road as T Fab P inquires about Manhattan Man's junk and all hell breaks loose with the nicknames and snide comments. By time order is restored, our reputation has been spoiled. Well, maybe thats a bit harsh, you decide. The talk swing to religion and tolerance and weird religious goings on, the to the irony of a tornado warning at an Oz-travaganza Movie festival, and a few weird facts by Maqz. The show end abruptly but I'll let you in on a little secret. We put a few out-takes and such after the closing bumper. If you take the time to read this, you now know our little present to you our faithful listeners!

Enjoy listening to the train fly off the High Road tracks...

CSA Episode 141 - From the office of silly internet things...

2010-06-05T12:22:00.000-07:00

On this episode of Countless Screaming Argonauts, Maqz is in a silly mood and so brings a bunch of student school papers to the show, creative history writing at the hands of a smart but bored student. Look below on the website to see just what he is talking about. After this school lesson, T Fab P brings up a man who paid over $150,000 to a psychic. Hey for that kind of cash, CSA will tell you whatever you want to know. Next up, a few minutes of "Jesus , Cat Stevens or Evan?" and then a few more internet oddities. A silly show for sure, but one that will get you to chuckle out loud

The Deep End Episode 7 – A few minutes with Mark Twain

2010-06-01T14:02:00.000-07:00

In the news this week is an item that Mark Twain’s autobiography is being readied for publication by the University of California at Berkley. Why the unusual interest you ask? Well Twain stipulated that it not be published for 100 years. Was he concerned for his friends? Did he plan a scathing tirade about his contemporaries or the politics of the time? Or was he just being a shrewd writer, knowing the delay would increase interest in the tome. Well tonight you find out as special guest Mark Twain appears on the show to discuss his life, his autobiography, books and journalism with Maqz and the Fabulous Penguin. Listen to his stories presented here and maybe learn a few things about this American Gem that you didn’t know before. So sit back in your easy chair, light up that great cigar you have been saving, perhaps open up a bottle of wine (CSA Podcasts are best enjoyed with a wine from Montezuma’s Winery!) and be ready to be entertained. Mr. Twain has appeared before, as recently as a couple of weeks ago in the FutureVaganza, but this is all Mark Twain, all the time. Enjoy it, we certainly did…

A few minutes with Mark Twain

The Deep End – Episode 6 – 28 minutes going deeper into politics

2010-05-28T13:21:00.000-07:00

On this episode of the Deep End, Maqz and T Fab P go all political on you with a look at some of the things happening around the government. There are looks at 3 different senate races for three reasons, Democratic Rep. Joe Sestak , Rand Paul, Libertarian and Blumenthal, the ex-veteran. Each is presenting major problems for their parties and no end of the merriment is in sight. Maqz then gets into the issue of the drone plane attacks in Afghanistan and just what it could mean and the boys spend quite a while examining this issue. Finally on a lighter note, they finish up with a few minutes examining the new Miss America. No, not that way! They are talking about the reactions by the right wing conservatives to the fact that she is a Muslim (yes, even though she was born and raised in Dearborn, Michigan. Some things just never change…

CSA Episode 140 - "Weird, weirder, weirdest..."

2010-05-26T15:17:00.000-07:00

On this episode of CSA we begin with a news quiz as T Fab P asks Maqz about bizarre news stories of the week. Then T Fab P turns on the old bullshit detector on a couple of news stories, first a mayoral candidate who turned in rolling papers and a story about Qantas Airlines reusing plastic utensils as a way of going green. Next up is a contrast of action of Gulf State Governors and perhaps a reason why they react the way they do. Then Maqz talks about full body scans that are supposed to be destroyed to protect privacy that are showing up with people trying to get one autographed. Finally Maqz talks about a woman in Britain with holes in her head. ON PURPOSE! T Fab P talks about Boobies! Yes, one weird story after another.

Give us a listen, 140 will make you giggle.

Chronicles #041 - On a Scale of 1 to Dumb

Episode 139 - "A younger voice of reason..."

2010-05-19T16:29:00.000-07:00

On this episode of the Countless Screaming Argonauts, the boys, fresh off of their live FutureVaganza, invite Manhattan Man AND his college age daughter, 'becca, in to talk politics, the Supreme Court and the environment. Well we mean the BP oil spill, Obama's nominee and Sarah Palin of "hopey-changey" fame. Its a fun romp, especially with a young voice of reason added into the mix.

Enjoy Episode 139!

CSA The Deep End: Episode 005 Part 2 - "The FutureVaganza Continues..."

2010-05-16T05:32:00.000-07:00

For the FutureVaganza Maqz, the Fabulous Penguin and the rest of the CSA crew got together for a live show in a hotel in Binghamton, NY. What are they all doing in a hotel in Binghamton? We'll let you figure that one out. As for this show itself, Part 2 of the FutureVaganza, the talk continued well into the night. Fueled by good beer, great spiedies, and good friends and having been "PUNKED" by the roadies, this train went off the tracks somewhere around midnight. The topics varied from modern technology to modern warfare, from ebook readers to mind readers, from optimism to pessimism. Yes we were wandering the desert like a bunch of outcasts looking for the next abandoned building...Yea, I know this doesn't make too much sense but then again neither did we sometimes that night. What is presented here is a bunch of clips from our discussions that night on any number of topics. We have edited separators into the show to let you know this was not one session but rather highlights. And, that is not some artificial laugh track in the background, that is real entertained people who think we were funny at times. We love our fans. We hope you love this show or at least like it enough to grant us a pardon. We promise not to try something like this again (until we end up in a Binghamton hotel one night with beer and spiedies and well, you know the rest!)

Enjoy this clips show, we did!

CSA The Deep End Episode 005 - "Part 1 FutureVaganza: Just Where are We Headed!"

2010-05-11T13:43:00.000-07:00

So, the stars and planets were aligned in a once in a lifetime way, and the cast and crew of Countless Screaming Argonauts, the Podcast of Record, found themselves together. In a hotel. In Binghamton. With a live audience. Give those guys that with a few beers and anchovy pizza for fuel (spiedie actually) and you know where they go? On a three part LIVE bender. Topic: The Future. Results: Lots of laughs, beers arguments and the like. Bring up social media, the IPad, relatives sex lives, and this is where the fight started. No really, this is where a fair, even handed exchange of ideas was. No really, this is a CSA podcast – this is where the mass confusion, heavy drinking and yelling started. Yea, that’s more like it.

So if you like Maqz, the fabulous Penguin, College Boy, Denali, Manhattan Man, Joshua, Mark Twain or even unruly Jerry Springer-like live audiences, then this is the place for you. We do it in three parts, each about 30 minutes long. This is part one, after just a few beers and Guinness, and Cream-sicles (vanilla vodka and orange soda).

BTW the opening and closing music bumpers for this episode are from the Billy Joel song “Miami 2017”. This was chosen as a reminder that once again CSA couldn’t get things straight – during one of the many criticisms and arguments this song was referenced several times by wrong titles although we were able to get some of the lyrics correct…

Miami 2017 (Seen The Lights Go Out On Broadway)

I've seen the lights go out on Broadway-
I saw the Empire State laid low.
And life went on beyond the Palisades,
They all bought Cadillacs-
And left there long ago.

We held a concert out in Brooklyn-
To watch the Island bridges blow.
They turned our power down,
And drove us underground-
But we went right on with the show...

I've seen the lights go out on Broadway-
I saw the ruins at my feet,
You know we almost didn't notice it-
We'd see it all the time on Forty-Second Street.

They burned the churches up in Harlem-
Like in that Spanish Civil War-
The flames were everywhere,
But no one really cared-
It always burned up there before...

I've seen the lights go down on Broadway-
I watched the mighty skyline fall.
The boats were waiting at the Battery,
The union went on strike-
They never sailed at all.

They sent a carrier out from Norfolk-
And picked the Yankees up for free.
They said that Queens could stay,
They blew the Bronx away-
And sank Manhattan out at sea....

You know those lights were bright on Broadway-
But that was so many years ago...
Before we all lived here in Florida-
Before the Mafia took over Mexico.
There are not many who remember-
They say a handful still survive...
To tell the world about...
The way the lights went out,
And keep the memory alive....

Episode 138 - "This party is over..."

2010-05-07T13:56:00.000-07:00

On this episode of CSA, the boys bring Joshua, their favorite immigrant, to discuss the new law in Arizona and his reaction to having to "show your papers." They invoke Godwin's Law right off the bat then take the discussion from there to Utah to California to FAIR to a potential baseball boycott.They also cover racial profiling and even busing them back to Mexico in like a half million buses. They then move onto the New York City bomber, to talk about the fantastic job by the police and John Q. Public. Finally Joshua talks about playing darts, the women he meets and his obvious competition with Manhattan Man that he claims to win every time! When Joshua regales the guys with an old Irish story about drinking in Dublin during holy hour you know this party is over.

Give us a listen please

CSA The Deep End Episode 004 - "Maqz is an Idiot!"

2010-05-06T19:23:00.000-07:00

On this edition of The Deep End Maqz goes into the podcast confessional and admits that he is an idiot. Why you might ask? Because he does the same things we all do. He interrupts others train of thought, he believes everything he reads on the internet is true and he feels he is an expert on a variety of subjects. Mea Culpa, mea culpa! For his penance he has to endure T Fab P and Denali's wrath as they make fun of him. Your penance - you have to listen to 28 minutes of this stuff.

Enjoy the Maqz angst!

Episode 137 - "Voices of Reason..."

2010-04-27T16:38:00.000-07:00

On Episode 137, the boys start out with a very special guest, Mark Twain, who has appeared before and appears tonight to comment on a Twain inpersonator who is making news in Hannibal MO. When he is finished the boys invite a frequent guest, Manhattan Man, to comment on several news items including the new CSA Game that is sweeping the nation - "Is it Jesus, Cat Stevens or Evan?" There is a link mentioned in the podcast and it is below so you can play the home version of the game. Just let us know if you think the image is Jesus, Cat Stevens or Evan. Manhattan Man also provides a commentary on the Dallas Braden Baseball Fiasco, Boobquake! and they all calm down listening to the final installment of "A few minutes with Yogi..."

Check us out even just to hear Mark Twain...

Jesus, Cat Stevens or Evan?

CSA The Deep End: Episode 003 "28 minutes on Stupidity in Our Government"

2010-04-24T12:30:00.000-07:00

What, only 28 minutes? The boys could have spent hours but instead boiled down to a bunch of gems - from the missing slaves from Civil War History month and the "Great Yankee Aggression" to Palin and pals in Washington, the boys skewer all of them in this quick moving roast.

Give us 28 minutes, we'll give you humor...

Episode 136 - "The episode that almost wasn't or That's what you get for going to the dark side..."

2010-04-21T15:47:00.000-07:00

So 8 Beer Sampler attempted to upload this podcast to the interwebtubes about 21 times and kept getting error messages and file already exists errors. 8BS started to backward chain, going back one step in the process each time, getting all the way back to the original edit and resaving the file before it finally worked. Whew! we would have hated to go get the computer from the front lawn if a few more error messages had shown up.

Anyway:

Tonight on this episode of the PodCast, Maqz and the Penguin explore the dark side of things. We begin with a chilling story about an evil clown that does birthday parties, one result of the ash cloud from the Iceland volcano (no, we can’t pronounce it either!), move to a crazy man's yard in Florida, and end with a pranksters plan to infiltrate the teabagger movement. At least they can run a few words of wisdom from Yogi to calm the nerves and help settle the emotions. What are they going to do when the list of Yogisms runs out next episode?

Give #136 a listen please, it took a lot of work to get it here!

Episode 135 - "A Titanic Effort on Reality"

2010-04-18T07:16:00.000-07:00

On this episode of the podcast Maqz and the Penguin fantasize about getting the makers of Cranberry Bog wine, a Maqz favorite, to sponsor our podcast. This would expose the product to thousands of listeners! After this moment, the boys move onto more pressing ideas. First up, Maqz clarifies and adds to some of the issues we discussed in our first episode of the DEEP END, on government, the role of government and making changes. After this, they talk about Conan O’Brien’s tweets, and then move onto a famous anniversary. This week is the anniversary date of the sinking of the Titanic and a couple of interesting stories from the Book of Lists website including how the survival rate might have been affected by nationality and passenger list incongruities. Next Maqz brings up an interesting way tribes in New Guinea are trying to reduce tribal wars, a George Orwell moment for sure. Almost continuing on this Big Brother theme, the boys tackle a school zero-tolerance policy. As they wind down, Maqz admits he is into the reality show “Courtney and Chloe Take Miami” which highlights the unreality of these people. The Penguin points out that they sometimes just don’t see their actions as problematic. This morphs into an April Fool’s Joke gone bad discussion that is dumber than dumb. After all this agitation, the boys come back to reality by hearing a few more words from Yogi Berra.

And this, dear listener, is what they have this week!

The Deep End: Episode 002 - "27 minutes on Superstitions and other stuff"

2010-04-16T13:08:00.000-07:00

In this episode of THE DEEP END, the boys take a journey that ends in a very different place than it began as most journeys do. At the start, they talk about baseball and its various superstitions, from the ball players mannerisms to the fans response to things like no-hit ballgames. This leads to a discussion about how baseball specifically and sports in general is reported and how Ball Four changed all the rules and many of the opinions. Then there is a line drawn from sports reporting to news reporting in general and all hell breaks loose. So a discussion about Nomar Garciaparra adjusting his batting gloves morphs into a discussion of the sex lives and handicap of POTUS. I guess the Stevie Wonder song “Superstitions” is apropos after all.

Very superstitious, writing's on the wall,
Very superstitious, ladders bout' to fall,
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass
Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past.

When you believe in things that you don't understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition ain't the way

Very superstitious, wash your face and hands,
Rid me of the problem, do all that you can,
Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin' strong,
You don't wanna save me, sad is my song.

When you believe in things that you don't understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition ain't the way, yeh, yeh.

Very superstitious, nothin' more to say,
Very superstitious, the devil's on his way,
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass,
Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past

When you believe in things that you don't understand,
Then you suffer,
Superstition ain't the way, no, no, no
