Idiotlab

This week we are drafting our favorite NEEDLE DROPS. And yes, that means songs featured in movies (and not score written for the movie, a distinction which confuses one of our hosts!)

We talk all about Tears for Fears, Metric, Grandaddy and a WHOLE lot more!

Then, we wrap up with the FINAL SEGMENT which is a quiz about famous 2nd place things!

This week, we pitch a few new professional wrestling characters, determine what conversation topics are a bit...tired, and pitch bad beer recipes! We also get transported to December 31st, 1999 and are able to tell our past selves one 10 word long message...will it be "BUY ENRON, THEN GO SEE THE MATRIX AGAIN. IT'S GOOD"

And in the final segment, we play a little geo-guessing game regarding the weirdest city names in the Untied States and we learn a few fun facts about those cities! What's normal about Normal? Am I getting dumber in Dummer?!

Have you ever wanted a new subject for small talk? Don't you just wish you had a THE BIG WHEEL to pick subjects for you, like us??? Well this week we're here to come up with some new small talk subjects, we determine our personal mascots, Scott talks about medieval monks, and so, so much more!

Then we finish off with a game of WHAT BOTTLE IS MARTY HOLDING. Where he can...SQUEEZE. THAT. BOTTLE! Or...shakethatbottle. Or...taste the bottle! Listener beware: lot of bottle sounds this week.

This week, Kelly recounts a trip he took recently.

Then, Scott recounts a trip he took recently...

and so does Marty???

NASA then chimes in and asks us...what's your dream car? And we try to determine the single funniest word.

Finally, we wrap up with a little European quiz and we open up the Idiotlab mailbag!

What is your perfect party? Does it or does it not involve watching Spider-Man 3?

We also test Marty's knowledge of music notes again and we make new Muppets, award shows, and government holidays...which of course leads to us drafting our favorite months.

Then, we try to guess what Marty is holding in our FINAL SEGMENT. GOODBYE!

NASA asks us to draft the BEST VILLAINS this week, and our teams will team up for a three way battle in a colosseum.

Not much more to say there, we're talking best ever villains this week along with our ussssssual bullshit.

What's the best narrative conflict? Who wins between Magneto and Twister? Is Danny Ocean a villain? Our brains are broken this week.

We round out the show with a little quiz about...quiz shows!

It's time for...our first spOOOOoooooKy episode for the Halloween season! What if you were put in charge of h-h-h-h-hELL?!!! Would billionaires have permanent wet-head? What if you found out every conspiracy theory was r-r-r-real!??! Could you come up with a new, fresh, popular fast food chain?

Then, we wrap things up with a FINAL SEGMENT where Marty embarrasses himself for ten minutes.

What necessary function would you like to stop having to do every day? What SHOULD your name be? If you were on Seinfeld, why would Jerry break up with you?

All this and much more on this week's episode. We also pitch a new magician competition show and play a little round of the MATCH ME game. What is it? You'll have to listen!

How hard can it be to beat up a polar bear, right? What are our hosts most afraid of? So many of life's big questions will be tackled this week AND we'll wrap things up by letting Kelly and Scott wrap each other up some presents!

What if ghosts were real? This question, and many more, will be delved into on this very special episode of Idiotlab. Many points of view are taken, and, appreciated.
