Ignorant and Uninformed

Have you been putting off doing the things you've always wanted to? Is it time to take an honest look in the mirror and stop holding onto the dream? Who's life are you living anyway? This week it's all those questions and more. Max is quiet on his nude beach. Hollywood doesn't care about things [...]

It's kind of a shame Benji wasn't in the studio for this one. Josh Coates wants a line by line analysis of an Ol' Dirty Bastard track. And, despite their racial handicap, Max and Ben do their best. Even though one's an elephant and the other's an actor. Remember : 1) Do what Ben says. [...]

Dr. Zooks wants to know your superhero origin. Would you be a musician gigging at a local bar who dabbles in super-science with an engineering degree? Or are you more a mystical thinker who dared to go too far? Too bad Benji wasn't here to give us his. The Riffer is into bathetic falls, leather [...]

Have you ever won a sport coat? Ever wondered how golf is like the skating rink? When's the last time you saw an 8 year old smokings a cigarette? Jonah Schein didn't actually ask any of those questions - he wants to know about the masters - but we're good like that. Hollywood's at Disney [...]

It's not the funniest one we've done, but that's because there's no Benji to liven things up. If, however, you're looking for an interesting chat about life, you're in the right spot. Max can fill out forms and ask good questions. And Hollywood talks about his Cinderella hunger strike. Remember : 1) It's hard to [...]

If you could go back in time - where would you go? Would you change anything? Would you kill Hitler? Our homie, Felipe Nunez, wants to know. We are sadly sans Hollywood and his rollerblades, but it's cool. Benji is playing on his phone and has a shocking reveal. Max could be a stone-cold time-traveling [...]

A fake turtle neck? A waistband with a flap? A gossip column? What exactly is a "dickens?" It probably has to do with Charles, right? Maybe author, financial advisor, and all around good guy, Gary Sirak knows. (He doesn't.) Max isn't going to do your legwork. Hollywood and his father have matching Christmas outfits. And [...]

Our homie abroad, Jeremy Taylor, wants to hear some of our creepiest or scariest unexplained stories. So we figured we'd oblige. Max moved out of a house because it was haunted. Benji once had to ask himself if he was a werewolf. And Hollywood's got a story from Gettysberg. Remember : 1) You're always safe [...]

Our buddy, Dave Weil, wants to know if pleasure is absolute or relative. And it just so happens Max's dad, Gary Sirak, is in the studio looking for shelter, telling stories, and giving tips on how to sell houses. Benji is busy talking about bondage and success. Max is talking about laughter and Hollywood is [...]

Early to catch a flight? drunk riffraff trying to catch 'em all outside your window at 2 AM? The sound of a retching dog? A million degree tent? Realizing you're Aquaman? What's the worst way to wake up? For our special guest, Erica Aren, it's having to pee when your pregnant. Hollywood wants the D. [...]

What is it about music that brings people together? What is it about crowds that makes whatever you're doing more fun? Can the energy in a room affect the performance on stage? Our homie, Uday, wants to know. Hollywood goes all hippy-dippy and is hard from laughing. Benji's feisty and all about headspace. And Max [...]

Why do people love games? Whether digital or analog - alone or in a group - there's something there. Is it escape? Control? Measuring success? The journey? Our good buddy, Peter, wants to know. And, as luck would have it, long-time-listener-first-time caller, Adam Aren is here to help us figure it out. Remember : 1) [...]

Are we the first? The last? The only? Do you even think it's possible for all the governments of the world to cooperate? This week we're talking about extraterrestrial life. Hollywood identifies as a apache attack chopper. Benji is really concerned about the non-Christians. And Max has a spark for science. Remember : 1) Single [...]

What's the difference between common courtesy, being a good person, and martyrdom? That's what we're discussing this week - oh and we've got a special guest. The delightful and dexterous Debbie Whitmore (aka Ben's wife) weighs in. Benji's on his best behavior (even with all the eye contact). Max is a crappy samaritan but a [...]

Is it all you need? Is it a second hand emotion? What kind of love are we even talking about here? Caveman? Far East? Byzantine? Dr. Zooks channels her inner Tina Turner and wants to know what love's got to do with it. Benji's got a blue aura. Hollywood's making up his own sex scale [...]

How's everyone doing? Are you good? Happy? In that case, maybe you should skip this week's release... LP, who signed her name with a heart, wants to know if capitalism is destroying humanity. Benji's out this week. Max is just happy to get a word in. And Hollywood fixes government from his soapbox. Remember : [...]

Is it the ears? Eye brows? Tail? Penis? What's your favorite part of a dog? Phil Roerbacher wants to know. Are you like Debbie (Ben's wife who's got him all adorably flustered) and it's more about the emotional support? Did you know Benji was that kid who used to keep snakes in his lunchbox? Or [...]

Why are Americans so lazy? That's what John S wants to know. Unfortunately Hollywood's the hardest working man in showbiz so he wasn't around to ask. Lucky for us - Tony Madonna and Greg Johnson dropped by. Benji thinks it has to do with entitlement, Tony blames the lies we were told as kids, Greg [...]

It's one of our favorite games: marry-bang-kill. Our international homie, Jeremy, emailed us the trio: Zooey Deschanel, Katy Perry, and Emily Blunt. And in a historic turn of events - everyone's list is different. Benji is down with veganaise and owl fundraisers. Hollywood and his popped collar want to live in candyland. And Max is [...]

Happy Bastille Day! What do Terrible Towels and mosh pits have in common? This week it's all about behavior in crowds. Is it even cool to hold your lighter up at a concert? Hollywood's out being awesome but we've got Tony Madonna and Greg Johnson in studio to help us out. Benji's a nonconformist with [...]

This is an adult epidose about adult themes. Max's special lady friend, Lindsay, put a topic in the bowl about sex. So you know Benji, with all his field work and John Mayer quotes, is all about it. Hollywood recalls his halcyon days as a Florida Gator while Max just tries to maintain. Rmember : [...]

How tough are you? Could you cut off your own leg? What about an arm? Could you chew it off? That's what Tawdry Hipburn wants to know. We're down a Whitmore but up a Madonna. Not that Madonna. Our buddy, Tony Bologna, sits in and summons snakes. Benji is like Pizza The Hutt and for [...]

Good friend and frequent collaborator, Phil Roerbacher, wants to know who we think we are and what gives us the right. Max plucks low-hanging fruit. Benji and his moral compass are chaotic good. And Hollywood's busy wrestling his white guilt and fear of children. Remember : 1) It's a lot harder to mistreat someone if [...]

Do not listen to this while eating. Seriously. It's all about the process we would undertake in order to determine who we'd eat first in an extreme survival situation. But Captain parameters wants to know: are we alone? Do we have others to care for? Is there a Sasquatch we can clean and eat? Benji [...]
