WARNING: BASEBALL NERD EDITION I recommended that we mock “Veeck – As In Wreck” solely after reading the first chapter, which is quite disturbing and has to do with exploitation of little people. However, it turns out that Bill Veeck was a pretty rad dude for a crazy man. However, his autobiography sucks. I will […]
Read more "009 — Veeck as in Wreck (w/ Tim Harrison)"Join myself and noted internet humorist and music critic David Thorpe as we examine the shadowy world of backwards messages hidden inside the darkest metal records of the 70’s and 80’s, including the collected works of Hall & Oates and The Captain and Tenille. This book was written by a man who is quite possibly […]
Read more "008 — Backwards Masking Unmasked (w/ David Thorpe)"RECORDED IN FRONT OF A LIVE STUDIO AUDIENCE THAT INCLUDES ONE BULLDOG unofficially brought to you by a crappy malt beverage with a surprisingly high ABV highlights include: buying your son a rolex (on his terms), a surprisingly lucid take on bad pizza and mafia affiliations, and also a huge amount of “Al B. Sure” […]
Read more "007 — Let Me Tell You Something (w/ Amanda Brand)"Welp. You’ve either heard of it or you haven’t. Either way, this is the supposed “true story” of a five-year old girl who was abducted by a Satanic cult and only managed to remember after years and years of therapy with a moderately creepy psychiatrist who she co-authored this book with and then married immedately […]
Read more "006 — Michelle Remembers (w/ Poncho Martinez)"Remember that Barsoom is just one letter away from Barroom. I dunno why but you should remember that. In this episode, fabulous photographer and free-thinker and wife-of-host (who is also her own person) Centa Schumacher (@spacevalkyrie) sits down to discuss “A Princess of Mars” by Edgar Rice Burroughs. This book is actually far more well-regarded […]
Read more "005 — A Princess of Mars (w/ Centa Schumacher)"Tanning Lotion? Smushing? Weird sections about underage drinking that feel bizzarely personal? Join me and Rachel Millman as we delve way too far into the void that is the mind of Jenna “JWOWW” Farley and her affected Italian brand. WARNING: SERIOUS PERSONAL BRANDING INSIDE
Read more "004 — The Rules According to JWOWW (w/ Rachel Millman)"In Motley Crue: The Dirt – Confessions of the World’s Most Notorious Rock Band, a bunch of idiots talk about being dumb except pretend that it’s really important. Luckily, Jackson O’Brien is here to join me as we dissect the intricacies of the Motley House, degenerative spinal disease, and (of course) Tommy Lee’s penis. This […]
Read more "003 — Mötley Crüe: The Dirt (w/ Jackson O’Brien)"In episode number two, I probably already bite off more than I can chew as I invite Dave Stattler, aka Twitter’s @glopdemon on-board to rant and rave about Ayn Rand’s “Anthem”. As predictably as possible, a conversation about Ayn Rand turns into ranting and raving, but with many side trips to the lands of laser […]
Read more "002 – Anthem (w/ Dave Stattler)"In our inaugural episode, Jay is joined by Gawker columnist Jeb Lund for a discussion of the Harlequin Suspense novel “Pregnesia”, which centers around pregnancy, amnesia, and an ex-Navy SEAL who looks and speaks like WCW superstar “Raven”.
