Clearing The Queue

Much like X-Men’s Dark Phoenix, Clearing the Queue rises from the ashes with the help of old friend Dane DiLiegro! Dane really plays with the medium, unleashing a Pandora’s Box of topics ranging from bone holes and banjos to Bitcoin and burnt toast. In the end, Alex and Matty learn an important lesson: never bet against Dane DiLiegro.

It’s 2019 and our hosts have a lot to catch up on! Matty is shocked to learn that Alex finally watched Schindler’s List, and even more shocked to learn that Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse is a movie, not a theme park ride. Later, they’re joined via Skype by Alex’s dad, who gives the hard sell on Afternoon Delight, reveals what beloved movie he recently slept through, and somehow ties Jim Carrey’s “The Mask” to New York Yankees legend Mickey Mantle. This episode will have you shouting “Oh, that’s my dentist!”

What is this, a crossover episode? Aaron McLane and Matt Corrigan from The Launchpad Podcast invade the Queuedio to close out 2018. After much deliberation over who gets to be “Matt #1” and who is saddled with “Matt #2” (the results will shock you!), the self-styled Rocketeers record an episode with so much whimsy it’ll make you want to high five a stranger. Along the way, the gang discusses who would’ve mourned Gaston’s demise, plays a knee-slapping round of “The Day After,” and spends way too much time dissecting what is essentially a 90 minute long McDonald’s commercial. Check out The Launchpad Podcast for part two!

New episode! We were definitely on a break, but now we’re back to take care of some unfinished business. Last year Matty and Alex set out on a quest to watch every Friendsgiving episode with their pals Chris and Andrea, but they only made it 5/9ths of the way through. Now nothing will stand in their way of viewing the final four episodes – not even Chandler’s severed toe. Join the four of us as we learn what it truly means to be a “Friend!”

2017 Rebroadcast: CTQ welcomed back Chris “don’t call me Chris Ly” Li, as well as first time guest Andrea “my last name was Falk before I married Alex” Popkin for this special episode. In it, the gang sifted through the Friendsgiving episodes in search of the Spirit of Thanksgiving. But did they find it before Matty’s “P.C. Police” showed up to ruin the fun? Tune in to find out!

Grab some kindling and open that flue – filmmaker Peter Bean is here to set up a fireplace for your home! While he’s hard at work, Alex plus Matty discuss the rise of YouTube, examine urinal etiquette, reverse engineer the meaning of the word “revery,” and attempt to figure out who the David Beckham of comedians is. All that and a whole lot of pageantry in this righteous new episode!

Oh my God! Film composer Ameya Saraf joins Alex and Matty for a high stakes game of chess in their non-existent basement. The two vegetarians form an unlikely alliance, while Alex goes deep undercover to investigate “Big Trailer.” As we learn what’s inside Ameya’s mind, remember: you can’t spell “synthesizer” without “science. “
