Bats in the Belfry

A storm hit us and we discuss its aftermath including days without power. We all go to Hooters and discover the wings recipe has changed, horrifyingly so. The Sauce Boss was NOT happy. Peeing the bed. National (insert something dumb and random) Day. We talk about bringing on a controversial and/or awkward guest for next which prompts a discussion about ex's. Brian fills Brittany in on some details from the past to get her caught up to speed. Bumming. We discuss the Oscar's aka Hollywood's Biggest Night. A goofy edition of Tech Talk featuring Photoshop. How the mighty have fallen...

We get sartorial right out the gates and talk shorts. We make Brittany be a beach girl because we are beach guys. The trouble with reading and retention. The maniacs who walk around with the smudge on their foreheads for Ash Wednesday. The reaction people have to traffic, including parents. We tell the tale of the two weirdo Jeff's we worked with at Blockbuster. Brittany is a sweet girl who doesn't want to hurt branches in the woods nor disrupt mother nature. Awful social media pictures, including inane, trite quotes. Psychics. Brian again sings the praises of the Darkness (his official favorite band, update your files people). Brittany can snore with the best of em. Wrestling. What a Drain...

We do a rare Friday show which allowed us to have show co-founder and friend Steve on. We talk about cutting down on booze. The pre-show nightmare that was trying to get a computer started. Brittany listens to old shows. We go to $1 taco night, except Brittany. Steve's nacho placement philosophy. The blinds fall. We get into a deep conversation about the nature of the government, politics, the future and existence itself. We finally reach and cover the Six Feet Under finale. Briiiine eats McDonald's. Different types of humor. Does Steve poo-poo crude humor? Living your life in fear. The nonsense that is inane celebrity gossip. The applicability and genius that is Rod Serling and the Twilight Zone. Taking back words, can it be done? Keep on flying...

NARM finally happens in Brian and Brittany's adventure in Six Feet Under. We discuss some of the character's character in the show. The annoyances between phones. Cyber sexing in 90s on AOL and sometimes Briiiine played the girl. Chicken parm. Trader Joe's has got the goods and the snacks. A bummer of a Wendy's run. We discuss the merits of the dollar menu. Telling people about the podcast. We want more guests, old and new. Work and how it doesn't define who you are. The documentary Voyeur is GOOD. The nature of show in terms of outright performance entertainment versus straight conversation. We debate the use of so-called dirty words and the importance of intent when using them. Being happy with life, utilizing intentional blinders. Go, enjoy, my arm is numb...

We get right into it and talk about the Super Bowl and the unfortunate Patriots loss. We also talk about food and gambling that surrounded it. Brian and Brittany go to a speakeasy and the casino. Phantom Thread. Tom Brady. The expression “spoiler alert” is played out. Tipping. Christopher Nolan should win an Oscar every time he makes a movie. Terrible breakfasts. Brittany used to play Free Willy. Brittany reports about where the baby's dookie goes in the mother's belly. Being a homeowner, Mark has tinkle squirrels in the house. Relationships are partnerships. Cookie Butter. Pathetic foot fetish weirdos online. Infidelity. There's always next year...

Right out of the gates we're talking buns in the oven. We talk about schmissmortions. Briiiine goes to Philadelphia and watches some wrestling. A U-Haul tale. Baseball and its current presentation. Nonsense stats. The awful new trend of spying pushed advertisements. The nature of scalping tickets and possible legal and ethical dilemmas. The dumb Lingerie Bowl. Steak & Cheese. Brian freaks himself out and night, convinced of an intruder. The championship belt. Brian invites Brittany to jam with the gang for the first time, manifest destiny. Briiiine tells his story about a bad breakup from the past and his recent triumph, which causes us to deconstruct all aspects of it. Six Feet Under. We make a lot of plans. Go Pats baby...

We begin this episode talking about passwords and security. Brian has a gripe that takes the entirety of the show to finally get to. Technology and how it affects our lives. Connecting. Black Mirror. The vapidity of social media. Bad hats for bad people. Judging books by their covers. Bringing back making fun of nerds. Brian recalls his experience with a bully/psychopath in 7th grade. Being a parent. The good and lost feeling of being young and making out. Briiiine goes to a trendy brewery. Amazon's insane and illogical return and non-price adjustment policy. The Patriots won the AFC Championship in both classic and thrilling fashion. The joy the Patriots and Brady have brought to New England for nearly two decades. Brian and Brittany make a wager against each other in a diet challenge. Brittany gets “invited to jam”. Stone Cold returned for RAW 25 and it ruled. Shaq Attack or Stunner? Oh hell yeah...

The show begins with some work gripes. Us as the Scarecrow, Tin Man, or Lion. Sometimes When We Touch. Brian's mood and taking the wind out of one's sails. Relationships and fights. Getting it all out. Parent fights. Brittany turned heads at work. We a B, a C, or a T. The Patriots and the upcoming AFC Championship game. Friend Mark calls in (at 9:11) to talk about his research and definitive Top 3 South Shore “shitholes”, we break down his findings. Brittany is seething with jealousy of Brian and Mark's love for one another. The people around here are great and are as good as anywhere else. Home-schooling and the weirdos it produces. Brittany mustn't go crazy. Go team go...

Look out, we're coming out the gates hot with some credit card and finance discussion (You're welcome in advance Andy). Briiiine's pipes burst. Massachusetts folk. We go into depth about jobs, careers, and hyper-focused work people. Knowing a trade. Living at home and the misguided stigma attached to it. Briiiine wears a loud Sonic shirt. Our group dynamic as applied to the Ninja Turtles. We debunk the Hangover. Brian charmed ladies in high school at work to buy him gifts. Karen and her ways. Accents. The proliferation of free porno. The filth of smoking and tobacco. Eating healthy. Shoveling and cleaning your car. The awful blizzard we had and how it impacted us. We talk toots and doing it around a lady.  Get it in ya...
