This week we're talking about CHUCK, the NBC spy-dramedy mercifully saved from cancellation by the buying power of loyal fans, who took to Subway restaurants in droves to convince the show's sponsor to pay up for another season. If we were on death's door, which restaurant chain should you buy from to save OUR lives? What if this show had been about Chuck Bass instead? Plus, a sexy new game played by guest Ben Meyerson. Tune in for all that and more!

This week on Spoiling Ourselves, we're diving headfirst into the mysterious and magical Warehouse 13! What would our personal, magical artifacts be? What would Chuck Bass' personal, magical artifact be? Why was H.G. Wells' sister also named H.G. Wells? And - your introduction to the lore of BIG SHIRT!

The man, the myth, the LEGEND - this week, we humbly welcome friend of the show STEVE DYER to help us dissect TNT's riveting classic Rizzoli & Isles. Ship off to Boston with us, won't you?!?

This week on Spoiling Ourselves, we dive into our first ANIME. INUYASHA follows the adventures of a 15-year-old girl who is transported to feudal Japan after falling down a time-warp well in her backyard, where she befriends a half-demon dog named Inuyasha. Yes, this is what you've been waiting for. How big are our anime sword dicks? What childhood trauma could've caused Lia to be so disgusted by animation in general? Is the show's main villain a severed head in a spiderweb, whose heart-made-flesh is a talking baby? PLUS: valuable tax information that might save you a few bucks.

*This episode of Spoiling Ourselves is brought to you by pornography. Pornography: it's okay if you're late for work!

THIS WEEK on SPOILING OURSELVES, we watched the first and last episodes of Ugly Betty! What are our fantasy body modifications? Is 4 years enough time for a manicure to wear off? Can ANYONE be attractive with just a little bit of creative effort? Tune in to find out!

This week we watched the first and last eps of KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL, the ill-fated 2005 Bradley Cooper vehicle based on Anthony Bourdain's bestselling memoir, "Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly." If that description alone doesn't pique your interest, we're not sure what will.

Did we really watch the first and last episodes of Lie to Me this week - OR ARE WE LYING?!?! There's only one way to find out - go back in time, break into our home, install a secret camera before we record the podcast, leave without being seen, break into our home a second time at a later date to retrieve the camera, go home, spend years studying microexpressions and human psychology, review and interpret the footage, time travel again back to present day, and comment your findings on iTunes.

This week, we're happy to welcome our good friend and lover Tyler back into the fold! Tyler's back in town to settle some disputes for us: since Men of the Sea operates as a four-person Senate, we're often split 50-50 when voting on important issues, so Tyler functions as our Vice President, with the singular purpose of breaking ties. We're also talking a medium amount about The Newsroom.

This week we're talking about Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide - but honestly, that's the least of our concerns, because this week we've also received another letter from Dan Shecklesworth. WHO ARE YOU, DAN? HOW DID YOU GET OUR ADDRESS? Why won't you send us a list of demands, as we've asked you SO many times? We're prepared to do whatever it takes to figure out your true identity. Why is everything you send Maine-themed but postmarked from Florida, or Florida-themed but postmarked from Maine??? WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM US?!!
