Debut Buddies - Transformers and Taco Cleanse with Becca Lipman
play

02/10/19 • 66 min

Becca Lipman returns to the show, to defend her first-appearance victory. She, Shannon, and John dabble in topics ranging from Transformers (1986) to Haitian Voudu to Missing White Woman Syndrome to the Taco Cleanse. There's Pomme ou Pomme de Terre, Hall or Oates, and a bonus question impression of a wealthy dowager... and then we talk about the at-the-time soon-to-be-played Super Bowl... but that conversation ends up being primarily about Girl Scout Cookies. GO GET SOME COOKIES! Oh, and Nate wants a nemesis... but finds out he might already have one in a DRAMATIC REVEAL!

Debut Buddies - H.R. with Micah White
play

01/06/19 • 66 min

How dare you bring Tofurkey here! THIS is a meat house! The inimitable Micah White (Geeks Who Drink, Denver Center for the Performing Arts) answers the call to A Vague Idea this week! He battles Shannon and John over topics like H.R. Giger, H.R. Pufnstuf, the Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram, Baby Powder, and Andreas Hvid's Great Pyramid Porn. PLUS: Sean Connery accents! This episode is a HOOT!

In this episode, as corrected last week ; ), we talk about KFC being a tradition in China, but it's actually Japan, and for that error we apologize.

Buddies, where do fairytales come from? Well, child, the history of storytelling is complicated, but let me tell you a very old story, that might just be the first fairytale!

We discuss its ancient origins, some variations found elsewhere around the world, and even we try to figure out the moral! Plus, I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE! And the Mouthgarf Report!

Debut Buddies - Breakfast with Monica Morris & Lynn Teasley
play

09/29/19 • 78 min

We may be a Shan down this week, but we're still bringing the heat (like a freshly concocted bowl of oatmeal or something). This week, Monica Morris and Lynn Teasley are our special guests for an episode about Breakfast. We'll discuss Franken Berry Stool, Breakfast at Tiffany's (and whether having a loose shared admiration of a film is enough to save a relationship), John Harvey Kellogg's Battle Creek Sanitarium (spoiler: corn flakes were supposed to keep you masturbating, guys!), Elevenses, and more. Plus, FMK involving various cereal mascots... so if you read the episode title you might have an idea what's gonna go down. Oh, and we talk about issues of race in America for a bit too. Enjoy! We're the second or third best part of waking up...
