The World's Most Elaborate Album Cover: Nine Inch Nail's Year Zero
Patrick takes Alex on a journey through the rock opera and alternate reality game, Year Zero, from Nine Inch Nails. We look at the history of the concept album, read Reznor's lyrics, then get out a white board and some red string to untangle the mysteries about Parapen, Diagra, the Church of Plano, and The Presence.
All apologies to the people of Cleveland, OH.
Theme Song is Satellites by Swenny.

Here to Stay!: The Beanie Baby Bubble
In advance of the Apple+ Beanie Baby Bubble film starring Zach Galifianakis and Elizabeth Banks, Patrick and Alex revisit the wild speculation involving Beanie Baby toys. Patrick presents to Alex an infamous 1998 Beanie Baby Price Guide that projected what prices would be in 2008 for the pellet filled toys. They were...not accurate. Along the way we find out why Beanie Babies were great toys in the first place, listen to some of the worst music ever made by human beings, and somehow it all ends up with a Donald Trump Super-Mega-Huge cookbook.
Theme Song is Satellites by Swenny.
