Spoiling Ourselves

CJ's taken a vow of silence this week, but lucky for us we've got special guest Ben Meyerson to help fill in! Listen up to hear our made-up Sorkin monologues, our lyrics to the West Wing theme song, and soon-to-be fan-favorite game West Wing vs. Westworld. Live to tape from our underground grotto, we're 30, flirty and thriving!

On this week's episode:
-What are our darkest sexual fantasies?
-What year does CJ plan on dying?
-What are our five dogs' names? (SPOILER: they're Paul, Walker, Paul Walker, Javier, and Flintstones!)

We watched the first and last episodes of Breaking Bad. We do not care for Todd.

Welcome to Spoiling Ourselves, BITCH! We watched The OC, so we're talking HOT TEENS. Was Bullit the best character? Should Bullit have been the ONLY character? Which of us is more of a Ryan? Tune in, punks.

This week on a very special episode of Spoiling Ourselves, our intrepid heroes celebrate the one-year anniversary of this podcast by talking about The Wire, perennial contender for greatest TV show ever. We learn a lot of nicknames, talk about our favorite TV characters and what they could've brought to the drug wars in Baltimore, plus we get a letter from an old friend. We promise that this episode is only half as dense as your average episode of The Wire

This week, Andrea Simons fills in for Lia after she abandons the safety and comfort of our floating trash barge. Luckily, she had also recently seen the first and last episodes of Don't Trust the B in Apartment 23, so we were able to bring you this episode. Listen in to find out how much we love James Van Der Beek.

This week our heroes take on The Cape! A 10-episode NBC superhero show that was a true testament to how little quality television CJ has watched in his life. We talk sidekicks, clothing-based superpowers, and about how bad Ryan Wynott was at acting. Ryan, if you're listening, we really don't mean any disrespect, but if you hadn't gotten this show cancelled with your terrible acting it might have turned out halfway decent.

What’s up, Marshmallows?! This week we’re coming at you LIVE to tape from the belly of a whale. We’re also talking about Veronica Mars, one of Lia and Jack’s all-time favorite shows! We meet the original party worm Dick Casablancas, do our best Al Pacino impressions, and get some mail from God, our personal mailman - tune in OR ELSE!

This week we're talkin' 'bout KINGS, a show that ran on NBC for one season back in ye ole 2009. We'll also be talkin' 'bout GOD, since this show - a modern-day retelling of the biblical story of King David - was ALL up in that. How would Jack take back the Holy Land? Has Sam been a 65 year old rabbi this entire time? Tune in for answers to these questions and more - coming at you LIVE (to tape) from the penthouse suite of The Plaza Hotel!

This week on Spoiling Ourselves we watched Syfy Channel's blatant Heroes rip-off Alphas, where we discussed the difference between highly unrealistic "powers" and scientifically plausible "abilities". We also try very hard not to offend people on the autism spectrum, plus Jack absolutely trounced Sam in a crucial game of Who Fuck Who because he actually paid attention while we were watching this garbage excuse for a television show.
