In honor of the 4th episode of our revived podcast, we preview the 4th week of the NFL playoffs, otherwise known as the Superb Owl (0:03:04). Jim Irsay (RIP) and Ethan both notoriously took too long in people’s bathrooms that one time, but for varying reasons (0:29:46).

We wrap up by teaching America how to play blac...

As a personal affront to God, we decided NOT to quit after one episode and return with thoughtful questions, such as… Is the 3rd Big Bang Theory spinoff as good as the Sopranos? Do laugh tracks stink? Is watching Facebook reels the same as watching 86 hours of a television show? (0:00:33). We do a little movie talkin’, including but not limited to Stephen King adaptations, Pulp Fiction, 12 Angry M...

Q: Do you bite your thumb at us, sir? A: I do bite my thumb, sir. Q: Do you bite your thumb at us, sir? A: No, sir, I do not bite my thumb at you, sir, but I bite my thumb, sir. Q: Do you quarrel, sir? Fun fact: 66.67% of the Bite Thy Thumb podcast has returned to the airwaves under new ownership after 3 and a half long years. The best we could muster up after a 1,000 day vacation is talking about...

The boys are back after a brief hiatus, and we’re breaking news right away as Ethan returns to the Broadway stage 12 years after his Tony winning performance in Wicked [and by that I mean Wicked Pissah, the Boston based reenactment of l the Stephen Schwartz musical] (0:06:09).

We stay in...
