How do socioeconomic conditions help dictate one’s choice of Christmas décor? We thought you were curious. That’s why we discuss it on this week’s show. Oh yeah, we also get into some talk about Christmas music and briefly re-create what the holidays were like at the Jackson estate.

P.S. We promise we are less drunk on this show.

The crew grimaces as they open Tod’s recently-unearthed diary from his high school years. Will it present deep insights into the complex mind of a ’90s high school kid or reveal the narcissistic ramblings of a future podcaster? The answers lie in one really girly looking book…

After hearing some revealing stories in an old radio show from ’07, a listener writes in asking for a deeper investigation into Tod and Buck’s time together as roommates. Plus, meet this week’s guest co-host Oscar, find out why Tommy Lee is pissed at Sea World and get the gang’s thoughts on Miley Cyrus’ drug of choice, salvia.

Part 1: Tod got a new car from an unlikely source and the crew is a little uncertain whether it fits the personality of its new owner. Part 2: John wants to know why in the world there are still Raider fans in Los Angeles.

In the Far Out! Forum a listener shares a scintillating story about a brash Aussie on holiday in Spain. In the news: the gang debates whether fat is contagious and the legalities involving illegal visitors. Later, should you add friends with leprosy to your Facebook page? Tod hopes so…

The principal of plural marriage. Yeah, it’s illegal, but what if you could have three spouses? Who would they be and why? Elders John, Buck and Tod investigate the sexy and spiritual aspects of polygamy.

When Italian vocalist Lampidi Stelami sings a song it is eternally his. But, can the Far Out! gang figure out what the hell he’s singing? Find out when John and Buck square off in an epic battle of name that tune starring international superstar, Lampidi Stelami.

After a brief break, the gang returns ready to address your questions and comments. Get ready for a healthy dose of convo about 3-D films, Gremlins, cable news, the death of Han Solo and Buck’s journalistic integrity. Later, a new song by a group called “The Visitors” makes its debut and the crew discusses the state of the modern superhero.

Friend of the show, fellow Lakewood resident and former producer of the “Conway and Whitman Show,” Gerry Wachovsky, sits in to discuss his eight-bit tattoo. In other news, Tod has a little one-on-one time with YOU over cheap sake.
