EpiDoses

Something special in honor of our 200th EpiDose...amazing, right? Our good friend, John Schorling, felt like facilitating a deep and meaningful conversation about race. Too bad this is Ignorant and Uninformed. Benji is self-shaming. Hollywood goes all metal. Max doesn't want your gentile-guilt. And Jesus is a baltimore cop. Huh? : 1) Ignorance is not [...]

Can one ogle and respect at the same time? Would you rather go to a strip club and get a dance knowing it won't end in sex or stay at home and get an amateur dance from your partner that definitely will? Do you even like getting strip teases? What about teasing strippers? Tawdry Hipburn [...]

Put away your targeting computers and drop your blast shields - this week it's all about Star Wars. Benji is out greasin' them wheels but the always insightful, Jay Seevers, is sitting in. Hollywood is a ring-theory-obsessed-fanboy. And all Max wants is Lando, space aids, and some originality. Remember... : 1) Judging trilogies before they're [...]

How do you slack off? Are you like Hollywood and pretend to do something? Do you procrastinate like Benji? Or do you just say no like Max? Is wearing headphones or looking at your phone a way to avoid social responsibility? This week it's a half an hour chat about stuff like this thanks to [...]

Remember two days ago when you sat down to a meal and thought, "Hmmm...this would really be better with a foon." No? But it's the shark of cutlery. Not like that other hybrid, that's just an example of putting two perfectly good things together and making a sub-par third. Benji called in sick. But lucky [...]

Erica Aren doesn't think time makes sense or that anyone can explain it. And that's because it doesn't and they can't. At least not after listening to Hollywood's theories and interplanetary census concerns. Benji has seen some Star Trek and Max has read some books. Remember : 1) People in space live longer. 2) Aliens [...]

Tiger? Octopus? Horse? If you had to be eaten alive by an animal, which would you choose to chow down on you? Meredith Murphy wants to know. Is it better to go in two bites or a thousand? Are we on land or in the water? Remember (Don't mind the technical blip around the 20 [...]

Audrey Philips (aka Tawdry Hipburn) wants us to name an animal for each letter of the alphabet. So Hollywood talks smack with Keanu Reeves on his chest. Max gets stumped by E. And Benji is outstanding at drinking out of cups. Remember : 1) Barbiturates count. Cattle and dog breeds not so much. 2) Raccoons [...]

Happy New Years! Making y'all think and laugh is something we really enjoying doing, so from the bottom of our shallow and empty hearts, thank you. It's 2016! Would you rather have good soup or bad sex? That's what Chandra Kleinhans wants to know. But it's not that simple - How long has it been? [...]

Jay Seevers has a question about technology - is the good worth the bad? We don't know. We're too busy singing songs... Hollywood is scared of video games. Max doesn't know how to use the internet. And Benji is the Candyman. Remember : 1) The combustion engine is a lot like sit-ups. 2) The world [...]

In honor of the new Star Wars movie... How do you feel about sex robots? Long time fan, photographer, and sexpot Tawdry Hipburn really wants to know. Hollywood is worried about the human seed bank conspiracy. Benji wants a perpetually disappointed wife. And Max doesn't want to get elecrtocuted in the shower. Remember : 1) [...]

If alcohol were illegal and marijuana wasn't, how would things be different? What would happen to bars? What about frat parties? What would the commercials be like? That's what Tim Mahon wants to know. Max has never seen Police Academy. Benji loves Christmas. And Hollywood is a liberal radical terrorist. Remember : 1) No one [...]

We aren't smoking 'em but we are talking about 'em, sort of. Cousin Brian wants to know about the aesthetic value of trees. But we're more interested in if Steve Urkel killed the catchphrase. Max actually says something funny. Hollywood is all hopped up on Mountain Dew. And 14 year old Benji wasn't picky. Remember [...]

This one is for Winston...... How do you tap in euphoria when you need it? How do you turn all your bad feelings into good feelings? Does Back to the Future 3 count as a western? Amy O. wants to know. At least about two of those things. Benji is throwing more than Young Guns [...]

How do you define family? Does citizenship extend to the human race or just your country? Where do you find meaning in life? It's back to back topics from Jay Seevers who wants to know if it's more important to be a good worker, citizen, or family member. Benji is hard nosed and hates rules. [...]

Do drugs make people creative or crazy? Or do crazy and creative people find drugs? How many pots did Shakespeare smoke? That's what loyal listener and good friend, Jay Seevers, wants to know. Hollywood hates audiences. Benji hates the Simpsons. And Max makes the dorkiest reference possible. Remember : 1) Edgar Allan Poe loved ether...and [...]

Are you a boxers or briefs kinda guy? A granny panties or thong kinda gal? Or, do you prefer to let it all hang out commando style? For some reason Rachel Zukrow wants to know. Benji's a trend setter, Jesus gives Max support, and Hollywood is on team Jockey. Remember : 1) Showing excitement and [...]

Does nurture matter? Are we slaves to nature? Is this even the topic? Who knows? There were too many words and semi colons. Thanks, Justin Mettry. But it's cool. We have The Perfect Spiral's own Joel Water-catchment here to help us out. Remember : 1) Always pass on the first showcase. 2) Don't put m80s [...]

Rambo? Jurassic Park? Return of the Jedi? The Holiday? Which movie made the biggest impact on you? Kevin Alan wants to know...we think? The Lego Movie made Benji feel like a kid again. Max got chills from seeing the Star Wars preview on the big screen. The Lord of The Rings made Hollywood out and [...]

Do you remember what you wanted to be when you grew up? Why aren't you that now? That's what Tim Mahon wants to know. Learn a bit about the life Max didn't choose, about Hollywood's parents fairy tale, and how Benji is staying true to his 14 year old self. Remember : 1) Staying some [...]

Do you remember what you wanted to be when you grew up? Why aren't you that now? That's what Tim Mahon wants to know. Learn a bit about the life Max didn't choose, about Hollywood's parents fairy tale, and how Benji is staying true to his 14 year old self. Remember : 1) Staying some [...]

Sam wants to know how we got so lucky - but what is luck? Is it a matter of making good decisions and careful choices? Is it all about perception? Is it simply putting yourself in the proper position? Is it winning the lotto? Remember : 1) Always take the lump sum. 2) "Dark Web" [...]

Jonah in Washington, DC wants to know about secret identities. Good thing Joel Rainwater, from Youtube's The Perfect Spiral, drops by to help us figure out why no one in Eternia could tell that He-man and Prince Adam were the same person. Remember : 1) It's amazing 80's cartoons didn't make us all gay. 2) [...]

World traveling photographer and loyal listener, Audrey Phillips, wants to know what we would always do once, sometimes twice, and never three times. Hollywood thinks it's a riddle. Max gives bad advice. And Benji is effortlessly a wild card. Remember : 1) No one expects a Spanish Inquisition. 2) Raise your kids with a ready-made [...]

It's a good thing Jay Seevers decides to stop by. He's the only reason the show doesn't descend into a history lesson about the Cleveland Browns. Our good buddy, Felipe Nunez, wants us to talk football. Who are the best players of the last two decades? Remember : 1) Football is a young man's game. [...]
