  • Season 9, Episode 9: Spittoon of the Zeitgeist
    Tony and Kevin again present a curated collection of four of their funniest sketches since last episode. First, however, they must dissect the meaning of their chosen episode title, "Spittoon of the Zeitgeist." Whatever the current zeitgeist is, they agree that it belongs in a spittoon. Then, starting with a fresh spittoon, they lead into the sketch "The Pharmacist that Doesn't Like to Hear About Your Medical Conditions" which, although enormously funny, is also self-explanatory.

Then, starting with a fresh spittoon, they lead into the sketch "The Pharmacist that Doesn't Like to Hear About Your Medical Conditions" which, although enormously funny, is also self-explanatory. Then it's an episode of the new talk show virtually no one is talking about, "Now We're Worshipping...." This week, the object of pious veneration is...snakes! With a special guest appearance by Snake Deity! Then it's off to the ivy-covered ivory tower of your local university, where people just trying to protest violently are being taught "How to Protest Peacefully." Finally, we return to the latest chapter in the saga of Salesdog Spot, who nails his audition at a casting call, then aims to nail a potted plant across the room when his bladder relaxes.

  • Season 9, Episode 8: Our Ambiguities Make Misunderstanding Almost Normal!
    As the ambiguity of the title indicates, this episode explores “ambiguity” in three of its nuances. Count if you don’t believe us, and then never believe us again. Coincidentally, this episode unleashes three segments: 1) The return of “Chester Hehdridge,” who meets a pair of near-worthy opponents in a parking lot; 2) a commercial/true-life drama, “Dictator Paints,” in which a nearly invisible reporter spies on a transaction in an authoritarian paint store; and 3) “Whose Desuetude is

So listen, learn, and then forget.

  • Season 9, Episode 7: Tall for No Reason
    Tony and Kevin discuss reasons why some people are tall and whether or not any of them have any reason to be. Usually they don't. Also attentive listeners will be able to divine Kevin and Tony's true heights. Prepare to be unsurprised. This episode features three award-winning-adjacent scripts: 1) Didier Vendage, on "Disgruntled Belgian Talk Radio," receives an offer to marry into the Belgian Royal Family, but (chuckle) not in the way he'd like; 2) Next, writer Jarrett Langford inaugurates "The

The sobbing at the end is great, too. Meanwhile, if you're unnecessarily tall, start deferring to short people.

  • Season 9, Episode 6: Your Inadequacies and Ours, Compared
    Listener protestations to the contrary, Kevin and Tony decide it's time measure the inadequacies of their audience up against their own. Let's just say it doesn't turn out well for the listeners. To cheer up those mortified folks, the show moves on to this week's pre-award-winning segments: First, we're back to "Heaving Bosoms," chapter 15, with the old geezer Crone baby, and a new wrinkle-removing product. After that, a new convenience store adventure at the "Bilk N' Go," Capitalism is re

After that, a new convenience store adventure at the "Bilk N' Go," Capitalism is re-examined, and maybe derided. Thirdly brings us a return to the "Bad Advice Demon," featuring drunken poetry about laundry. Finally, we have the return of "A Man Called Bamby." Mr. Bamby has fled the bar where two mafia goons were roughing up his voice-over persona, but he's not home free. Hang onto your wallets, listener.

  • Season 9, Episode 5: Doug Henning's World of Magic VIIII, 1995
    When Maestro (c)-sponsored magician Doug Henning retired from his spankly jumpsuits and stage magic in 1985--destined to get a haircut, his fans guessed that he might get heavily involved with David Lynch and George Harrison in the Transcendental Meditation movement--and that he might run for MP B lackpool for the Natural Law Party. When it is revealed, in 1995, that Henning was Canadian, all of this is both confirmed and problematized. This special picks up that story where it left off many

When it is revealed, in 1995, that Henning was Canadian, all of this is both confirmed and problematized. This special picks up that story where it left off many years ago, and features special appearances by Don ("Miami Vice") Johnson, Bob Uecker, Dr. Ruth "Where's the Beef" Westheimer, President Clinton, and a special surprise science popularizer! You care, but maybe you shouldn't?
