podcast – The Shy Kids

Have you ever had a movie ruined for you by plotholes or overused tropes? Doc bravely questions the validity of the plot in the beloved live-action Flintstones movie. Naturally, setting the cinematic bar so high means no movie is safe from the boys' sneers and jeers. After loosing faith in modern storytelling, Doc pens his own epic tale staring all of the stuff he likes fighting all of the other stuff he likes.

The boys respond to a listener email critical of their derision of furries. In the spirit of tolerance, the Shy Kids extend a firm, throbbing olive branch to the furry community by creating fursonas of their own. They then realize that we ain't nothin' but mammals and proceed to carry on as on the Discovery Channel.

Have you ever had any questionable fantasies? The Kids get kinky as they answer an accusatory fan letter. Doc enjoys some girl-on-girl trans-actions, Dean advocates keeping nudity in the public sector, and Cory shares some "leaked" information on what tickles his fancy. The boys then proceed to tickle their fancies.

In the spirit of Halloween, the boys tell scary stories from their childhood and come to the conclusion that children are dumb. Undergrad Wheatley cooks up some creepypasta, Dean pulls an American Horror Story and talks about aliens, and baby Cory receives a message from beyond the grave that he can't read.

Creepy intro music was "Come Out and Play" by DesperateMeasurez.

We're part of the nerd community, and one of the things we're proud of is how accepting it is of people's differences and quirks, and celebrates them with enthusiasm, as a bastion for the weird and marginalized. This episode we reflect on the strides the LGBTQIA community has made within the past few decades to be accepted into popular culture, and where popular culture could still use a kick in the nards (pre-op or otherwise). Don't worry, we still manage to throw some dick jokes in this semi-serious episode. Remember, we're 3 straight white guys, so if you're a member of the LGBTQ community and have any input on what we've talked about, we'd love to hear from you at [email protected]

It's Wacky Wednesdays on the Internet, and you're listening to Cory and The Dean Machine! We've got funnyman Doc Wheatley in the studio letting us know why radio sucks, give us a call and let us know your pet peeves before the PC Police take us off the air! And don't forget to show us those cans ladies! Comin' atcha!

Have you ever stayed in a relationship when you knew it was over? Cory (AKA Braggy McDickout) racks his brain to find a story of something bad happening to him, Dean realizes that relationships don't need to be based on awkward silence and disdain in your partner's interests, and Doc uses The Sims to act out some serious trysting.

Have you ever humiliated yourself in public? Break out the hand san as Doc reveals the origin story of why delivery boys wear brown shorts, Cory dresses as a cowboy and lets loose with some bikers, and Dean sits and stews in his own juices. By the way, this episode's gross. It's also hilarious.

Have you ever started recording a podcast without a topic? The boys see if they can get through an episode made completely of segues and, like all things riding on Segways, fall flat on their faces. The Cornetto Trilogy, Nick at Nite, spaghetti westerns, Spaceballs, the funk episode of Glee, games, and a wizard that only Dean can see. I don't know, just listen to it.

Have you ever had a foot-in-mouth moment? Put your hand down Tarantino, not that kind. Doc drives over a conversation in the Awkwardmobile, then backs up to finish the job, Dean fears that his Orange County upbringing will cause him to say racist things (a fear which then causes him to say racist things), and Cory's mouth just plain doesn't work sometimes. The boys then get attacked by spiders for their transgressions.
