Fireball's a powerful drug if you don't know how to use it properly. Listening to this week's ep, I'm thinking that Strickland knows how to use it properly, but that could be because as soon as I heard that he was drinking, I poured myself one too. The 4th rule of Rock & Roll- The more you drink, the better we sound, and the more I drink, the better these idiots sound every damn time. Oh, and...

That's right Funk'N Fans- Just like Las Vegas, the fuckery is built on bad math. I actually listened to the show this week (go figure!) and Jared's VM made me want to go back and check the episode numbering. Well, damn if he wasn't right! Someone slipped in a few "bonus episodes" here and there, so sure enough, this is episode 1600. Kind of anti-climactic, right? Would you expect anything else fro...

While on safari, Jim visited a medical clinic for the Masai people, and learned that they didn’t have access to critical dental care. Since his wife, Jody, is a dental hygienist, he knew instantl...
