Ignorant and Uninformed

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 [...]

This week we take it down a notch. So, if it's laughs you're looking for, maybe this isn't the best one for you. But, if you're interested in hearing some honest and interesting conversation about regret, sadness, and loss - then tune in. Benji's out this week but good ol' Jay Seevers sits in, binge [...]

It's a "would you rather" EpiDose courtesy of someone who doesn't get a t-shirt because they didn't put their name on the topic (Whoops). It starts with the choice between getting a hard poke in the eye or a swift kick to the crotch. But don't worry - we go all sorts of places with [...]

Benji's out being a dad, but it's ok because Jay Seevers fills in. And boy does he. This week Felipe Nunez wants us to discuss what superpowers various religious figures might have. So we did. But since heroes need villains, we did that too. Hollywood uses words without knowing what they mean. Max refuses to [...]

Good friend of the show, Audrey Philips (aka Tawdry Hipburn), provides this week's topic. So you can bet it's about sex - How many people would it take to repopulate the human species and avoid genetic mutation? But we take thing in an interesting direction. Max runs a thought experiment. Hollywood hates being lied to. [...]

You can thank our good buddy, Jay Seevers, for this weeks barn-burner..."How much moulding is too much moulding?" he asks. Well, now that just depends...I mean, are there any in-set shelves in the room? Max stays about as true as you can get to the name of the show and also despises your tardiness and [...]

Are we alone in the universe? Are Ufos real? Can Will Smith save us? That's what someone-not-brave-enough-to-put-their-name-on-the-topic wants to know. Benji believes. Max is busy talking about Thugnotes and dragons. And Hollywood likes Mr. Poopybutthole. Remember : 1) Jean Luc Picard would never lie to you. 2) James Franco is Swampthing. 3) Benji Pickens know [...]

Well...Hot damn, y'all. This is our 4 year anniversary, and despite being baited into objectifying women by this week's topic - we keep it classy-ish. Lauren and Audrey want to know which style we think is the cutest. Are we into hippie chicks or goth girls or what? It depends. Hollywood likes 'em sporty and [...]

Family Thanksgivings? A college party in Texas? Meeting your future in-laws for the first time? A crappy potluck? What is the appropriate kind of party to stick your dick in the mashed potatoes? Phil Roerbacher wants to know. Hollywood forgets who he is. Max is a terrible businessman and Benji is compassion personified. Remember : [...]

Is there a name someone from your past has totally ruined? Is it to the point where if you meet a person with that name now - you automatically don't like them? We thought so. And this one's for you... Tawdry Hipburn (aka Audrey Philips) want's to know about terrible names for children. Hollywood's mom [...]
