No More Whoppers

It's Spring, and pollen is in the air! Alex signs a fresh lease for an ancient apartment; a sabbatical for X in 10; the cutest assassination attempt ever; a shameless excercise in running out the clock; lessons in east coast and Canadian parlance; a damning examination of NMW, and Pog Fun! This podcast plays for keeps.

A packed week faces our Whopper duo, and the discussion begins with a PlayStation 4 extravaganza (maybe); the further adventures of Alex's moving woes (feels like only last year); and mixed recollections of our old haunt, 1UP.com. Plus, could this episode contain the best Overnerd story thus far? All this, and more NMW Memories. This podcast was retooled in the second season, with Ed O'Neill in a reduced role.

NoMoWo 47: A tradition of excellence. Alex continues to wind down the school year; Ray debuts a slew of touching No More Whoppers memories; Alex scouts a new apartment; Ray suffers a coddling by PR babysitters; how (not) to conduct an interview; a clarification of X in 10; a TV-centric Netflix roundup; and Remorse Fun! Clear data from this podcast will carry over into Cool Spot: Evolution.

NoMoWo is ready to ro' into a forty-sixth exploration of disposable subjects including the end of the school year and Alex missing the "good school;" the finer points of organizing flash cards; modifying the Momotaro story; what the Japanese think of Portlandia; Al's new round-up of animated comics movies; a listener asks us for our thoughts on anime translations (so blame him); and in Overnerds, we learn the true expression of love: bomber jackets. This podcast is a real… good… kind of… thing.

Our tenacious forty-fifth episode involves talk of another live comedy performance; the dos and don'ts of opening an onigiri; Alex resists a clingy vice-principal; Ray plays super-sleuth with the Glyde service; a rebuttal to criticism of Alex's Movie Talk and a guide on how to enjoy podcasts; Alex's Movie Talk, and Alan Moore expresses his extreme displeasure at this week's Overnerds. This podcast is sort of in between things right now.

Our referential forty-fourth episode is like looking into a prism and seeing the wonderful colorful fragments of topics such as migraines; the real reason Alex's school keeps the windows open in winter; Japan's nefarious soap clinics; wedding drinking etiquette; a left turn into game music talk; N.Y.Pete.D Blue; boner sounds; Alex explores character actors and his porn name(s); Ray's top doc pix; and Overnerds profiles a karate champion. This podcast didn't know this was *that* kind of massage.

Our forty-third misappropriation of time begins with Alex's highly-anticipated report on the town kite festival; the boys reflect on winter weather and a chilly marathon; TGI Weekdays features the Alien series; the YouTube ad the TSA won't let you see; Alex hits his big three in Nagoya, then spends the night at his favorite video game bar; a sentimental musical in a lonely town; we celebrate a decade of Crunk Games, and more fecal Fan Fun? Gross! This podcast preferred your earlier work.

In our progressive forty-second episode, Alex details TGI-Effortless and plenty of Batman details; Ray supercharges his PC; tangental talk about media prices; press conferences for the ages; a return trip to Nagoya and a preview of upcoming local events; the decline of the Happy snack series; serendipitous new drops; more on Internet "humor;" and Overnerds features the Mario fan who took it too far… or not far enough?! This podcast is brought to you by the Gilette Fusion Power Podcaster razor.

Our jangly forty-first episode shows 2013 what's what! Ray renders judgment on X in 10; the final(?) verdict on 7-11; Alex paints a vivid Christmas picture (raid on the storage unit, a trip to Pittsburgh Comics,harrowing flight experiences, media roundup), and Fan Fun from Thespis himself! This podcast is proudly brought to you by the "Horny Chris Evans" Tumblr.

Regular episodes return next week! So here's Alex and his sister goofing around like putzes for 52 minutes. The Sistercast covers such diverse topics as the names of midwestern US cities; the ins and outs of foreclosure defense; the holidays in review; motherly interjections; a large, fruit-themed electronics conglomerate; the dreaded winter storm warning; Kate Middleton's developing fetus; dog psychology; contemporary reality TV as influenced by Japanese TV; the miracle of flight; inappropriate apps, and memories of Christmases past! This podcast really wishes you had made a Genius Bar appointment before coming in.
