Hola, Sneakers!

So…iTunes is strongly encouraging podcasters to not include episode numbers in their posts so from now on we will be differentiating episodes by giving them a title related in some way to the main theme or topic of each show. (We also have to go back and remove episode numbers from our past 377 shows so…hooray?)

That said, this week on the show: science questions; calories; Tic Tacs, sparks in the closet; Sparks in book form; accelarating work rates; hairballs; Ian loves Ten Speed and Brownshoe; Stephen J. Cannell shows; Ian and Dave have thoughts about TV show finales: Life, Medium, Life on Mars, Corner Gas, Extras, Dream On, Ash Vs. Evil Dead; Land of the Lost all get a mention; Supernatural B.C.; Freddie Mercury as Bond villain; horse whispering; priorities; The Price is Right, bitch; “speaking of heroin”; Ian has complicated feelings about your idea of fun; new uses for Mt. Everest; Tom Cruise and his ego; shout outs; Dave’s choir goes straight to Hell; and, finally, a Frostin’ of Austen.
