We were supposed to draw a picture. Anything we wanted. I drew a man. He got hurt in the neck by another man with a screwdriver.  Everyone got upset. They had a meeting. Mom started crying. I don't draw like that anymore.    I draw... people smiling, dogs running, podcasts. They don't have meetings about podcasts.  This week, the Adams see dead people, everywhere!  It all starts with the 1999 M. N...

I'm over here in my unit, isolated and alone, eating my terrible tasting food, and I have to look over at that. That looks like the most fun I've ever seen in my entire life, and it's B.S. - excuse my language. I'm just saying that I wash and dry; I'm like a single mother. Look, we all know podcasting is a joke - no offense - it's just that everyone takes this class to get an A, and it's bulls**t...

I never doubted the Adam's talent...their prowess on the wire.  It was the unforseen things that really worried me.  You know, America's a very litigious society...you know, manslaughter, assisted suicide...I didn't want to be liable for the death of a podcaster.  This week, we take a look at James Marsh's award winning doc about the WTC and tightrope walkiing, Man On Wire.  Then, we get into the...

He can't stop it, he can't slow it down, he can't even figure it out. It's like he's in a tunnel with a flashlight. But the light only comes on every once in a while. He gets a glimpse of something, but not enough to know what it is. Just enough to know it's there.  Join the Adams this week as they do their 'DONT EVER GET HYPNOTIZED!' episode, where they look at the 1999 supernatural thriller, Sti...
