Horn Snorkle - S03E50 Tower of Technobabble

it’s our big season three finale, and we’ve taken out all the stops. Seriously, there are no stops whatsoever. Daggor joins us, and we begin by examining lies told in country music, veer into dangerous emerging animal behaviors, examine some of the unexpected heroes in the fight against snakes, ponder why the unicorns actually died out, and then end it all with another round of Chick Lit theater.

TimePope - S04E01 Tower of Technobabble

We kick off our fourth season in style, talking about dumb things that that creepy guy from the Transformers films did and said, two of the three of us buy into Google’s line that google expanding into the field of robotics is a good thing, and then we round it out with the controversial decision by Amazon to not sell any more Bigfoot porn. Porn for Bigfoots or porn featuring Bigfoots, you may ask? Well, stay tuned....
