Matt had a week from Hell that started with a stolen camera and ended with an irate, bi-polar author. Hear about it in this short

We're sure kids shows were always a tad annoying and obnoxious to the adults who were forced to watch them with their children. We'd like to think that, for a while, at least, parents love the shows because they love to see the joy it gives their little darling. But we suspect that, at least, dads cringe when they hear certain shows. Shows like Team Umi Zoomi or Spongebob Squarepants come on in the other room and our shoulders tense and we briefly lament our care-free, childless days. Matt, Pete, Jimmy and listener, Dan, all discuss the state of kids shows today in our opening segment. 

Then we move on to the annoying things we encounter while driving. 

And, finally, you know that one vegan friend you have? How about the new mom who will only breastfeed her child to the point that she almost kills it because her teets ain't nutritious enough? Or the douche that will only buy fair trade? In and of themselves, those aren't necessarily bad things--except almost killing your baby because you read something somewhere that said baby formula sent to Africa was poisone. They only become bad things when those who practice them virtually demand that you cave to their needs (i.e. the vegan at a party who requires a "vegan option") or insist that you adopt their lifestyle (let's cite the vegan again). Well, we came up with a short list of people think we should live as they do. 

EDITOR'S NOTE: Matt just handed me a late addition to the list. He would like to add Non GMO people and Anti-Vaxers.

Matt rode in a Tesla with the new auto-pilot feature and it was both terrifying and wonderful. 

Dan Lawrence sits in with the show as part of Checked Out's "Listener Appreciation Program". Once a month we will invite one of our more active (and local) listeners to sit in with us. Imagine how cool it must be for your heroes to invite you to hang with them and be on their show and, most importantly, to show you that, yes, it's true, our heroes are not normal people after all and are super human. 

Ya know how, during the month of October, you see some of your Facebook friends posting shit about zombies? Or how everyone goes nuts when the Walking Dead is back on? How about adults-- fully grown people-- post serious articles about how to survive a Zombie Apocalypse? They don't do this as a joke. No, they think it's a real possibility. Cornell University even wasted money on a study on how to survive one. And you still don't believe us that #collegeisajoke ? Listener, Dan Lawrence, tipped us off to a Youtube Video from a Canadian cat named Jay Tuckwell, in which Mr. Tuckwell, in, apparently, all seriousness, shows us all the equipment and accoutrements he "likes" to have for the Zombie Apocalypse. It has half a million views. We hope against hope that 99% of those views are people making fun, but, then again, Bernie Sanders is giving Hillary a run for her money, so, clearly, this nation has lost its mind. 

After some laughs at the expense of a Canadian who takes his fiction a little too seriously, we delve into News Potpourri, a segment that will now be the second segment of every regular first upload of the week.

Have you seen that UConn douche who just wanted his Fucking Bacon and Jalapeno Mac and Cheese but couldn't get it because he had an open beer bottle? Well, after many emails badgering him to come on the show, Luke Gatti relented and came on for an interview. He apparently hasn't learned. Here's his apology video. http://firstwefeast.com/eat/uconn-undergrad-luke-gatti-mac-and-cheese-apology-video/?utm_campaign=complexmag&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social

You won't believe the crazy stories in this episode's "News Potpourri". Have you heard the one about the donkey-fucker in Wisconsin whose "privates" took over and forced him to do an ass? Well, we did and we share it with you, among others.

It's a rare, but very welcomed event, when a listener and fan stops by the studio. In this case, our fan, Tom, and his wife, who is also a fan of the show, Christen, stop by the studio. Christen has to drop something off to Pete's wife. Tom, wanders around aimlessly until finding us in the garage. He stop and stares for a bit, hiding just inside the darkness of the night. The ambient light from the garage shines out the open door and illuminates Tom's eyes and teeth. Jimmy sees this first and immediately prepares to die. Could it be Bingo-Bingo Nations finally arriving for honor-killing? Praise Allah it wasn't that. It was Tom. Instead of shooing him away, we invite him in to talk a little bit about how great our show is and what we mean to him and what we will mean to the child he is expecting. 

Have you seen the show "The Man With the 80lbs Scrotum"? We shit you not. There's such a thing. Matt brings it up and tells Pete and Jim just enough to whet their appetites to seek the show out for viewing. 

In Segment 1, Matt shares a lit he's been compiling for a month or so of the words he'd ban if he were king. Are yours the same? #WordIWantToBan

And finally, with the recent news about the American Apparel CEO, Whatshisname, being a sadistic pervert, coupled with the news about Uber-head, the Other Whatshisname, rubbing his junk on his underpaid Alice, we explore the question: "Are these fucks sick perverts from birth or are they corrupted by massive and early success?" #PervertsWithPower

As always, we try to bring you enlightening banter and hard-hitting, in-depth news and interviews. Keeping with that tradition, you will learn of how Pete's girly fear of tornadoes helped sooth a little girls fear of tornadoes; you will hear an exclusive interview with Sharon Van Ert, one of the latest women to allege that Bill Cosby had raped her; and finally a potpourri of the more off-beat news stories of the last week, including the Farting Pork Roll Manufacturer, "No, bear!" and College Pussies

This week's question of the week for the Professor Czig Meister's Master Brewing Class is: "What brand was the first beer you ever had and who did you have it with?" Send your answer in an email to [email protected] in order to be entered to win. 

There was another school shooting. This time at Umpqua Community College in Oregon. These things happen so often that when we watch the news we pay attention to everything other than the horror of the story. Sorry. We're just numb to it by now. You know you are too. And you also know that you noticed the same thing that we did about this one in particular: the chicks are chunky at this college. 

Also, Hurricane Joaquin is bearing down on the east coast and New Jersey's valiant and gallant Governor Chris Christie has declared a state of emergency...several days ahead of when the storm MIGHT hit us. To be fair, there is also a Nor-easter ahead of the hurricane. But still, he's a jackass. To help us make sense of it all is his belly, Governor Christie's Belly with another in-studio appearance.

So apparently the cows on "The View" set off a firestorm last week among our beloved nurses. But have you noticed that all the nurses you know on Facebook frequently post things that seem to be attempts to guilt you into thanking them for being a nurse or calling them a hero in writing? You don't want to admit it because you don't want to feel like you're "judging" or "attacking" them, but you've noticed and it kinda makes you cringe. We understand your denial. So we will explore if the immodesty of such an act hurts the nobility of this noble profession. Also, Matt discovers he might actually agree with the hens on "The View", which has since caused him to seek therapy. 

And, finally, Pete has discovered that Oscar Mayer has created a dating site for Bacon Lovers called "Sizzl". We imagine what a testimonial from a fat, bacon-loving couple would sound like. 

DON'T FORGET TO MAKE A RESERVATION AT THE LODGES AT GETTYSBURG and tell them you heard about them on Checked Out and you will receive 20% off your stay. Help us out and treat yourself to a wonderful getaway.

This may be the most politically- and all-other-ways- incorrect show we've done to date. But, we're checked out of such things giving a shit what we say, so, you should expect it by now. That said, let us just remind you that our sponsor and any business we promote DO NOT necessarily agree with us. We promote them because we like them. 

Moving on...

So, Pope Francis went on a whirlwind tour of the states (or three of them) last week. In this episode you will find the most hard-hitting, comprehensive coverage of his visit. Not really. We take a sophomoric approach. Instead of fawning over him like many liberals who used to hate popes and Catholics now do, we act like children and ponder why all popes sound like Dracula and this

At the end of the pope discussion, Jimmy plays a clip of the Satan worshipper from a few episodes ago. That reminds Matt that that whole video was faked. This leads to a discussion of the last month's big frauds. The Satan worshipper and this douche who just ended his career as a comedian named Steve Rannazzisi. I know...who?

And finally we discuss the disturbing story of Fidel Lopez, a man whose monstrous deeds make him worthy of his first name.

Tell them you heard about them on Checked Out when you make your reservation and received 25% off your stay

This is the official premiere episode of Checked Out's season 3. On it, author of "Fight as Long as Possible: The Battle of Newport Barracks, North Carolina, February 2, 1864"  fills in for Jimmy the Italian and talks a bit about his book. 

Melanie Barnes, from the sales department at The Lodges at Gettysburg, sits down with the boys and talks about what the Lodges has to offer you. 

Then Matt, Pete and Eric dive into the crazy cast of characters that one might encounter when living in, or even visiting, Gettysburg. That wraps up with Matt and Pete recounting their experiences with a couple of dudes who tried to get them into an Amway-type company called "Market-America". Those pyramid schemes are the Scientology of business.
