To say that it’s been a tragic week in Hollywood would be an understatement. First, Ed McMahon passed away. Then, Farrah Fawcett lost her battle with cancer. And the biggest shock of all came hours after Fawcett’s death when the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, died after an apparent overdose on painkillers.
On this week’s show, Joel Murphy and Lars take time out to honor all three celebrities. They talk about how McMahon showed the world how to be a true sidekick, how Fawcett made quite a few boys into men and how Jackson revolutionized the music scene.
Can the show still manage to be funny in spite of all of the sadness this week? Why do our cohosts know such much about old Simpsons episodes? Is it time to bring back Bruce Wayne? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

Some people know how to be cool. Other are simply clueless.
Apple has made a career out of marketing itself as the cool computer company. Their iPods and Macs are desired by hipsters everywhere and today they just released a new iPhone, which isn’t much different from their iPhone, but people flocked to buy it nonetheless.
Pizza Hut, on the other hand, has never been cool. They sell greasy food to lonely people who aren’t worried about their health. However, this week they tried to market themselves as a hip company by rebranding themselves “The Hut.”
What do Joel Murphy and Lars think of Pizza Huts name change? Are they impressed by the new iPhone? What do they really think of Dan Aykroyd? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

Part of being a supportive friend is finding words of comfort when someone you care about is dealing with problems in their life. We’ve all been there - someone we love pours their heart out to us, sharing a conflict in their life and suddenly we must try to make it all better.
These days, it seems like most Americans turn to the phrase: “It is what it is.” It’s a phrase that has been sweeping the nation; one that has become an instant cliche. It sounds deep and meaningful, but really is just a silly, meaningless phrase and Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle are tired of it. This week, they plead with you fine listeners to stop saying it.
What do they think you should say instead? Why do they have so much man-love for Bruce Willis? What causes them both to giggle like schoolchildren at the end of the show? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

This week, Terminator Salvation was released and Joel Murphy is incredibly excited to see it. The only problem is, he can’t really figure out why.
Terminator Salvation is just another pointless sequel to a once-great franchise and it’s directed by McG, a man with a douchey nickname who is best known for directing Charlie’s Angels. And so far the most interesting thing to come out about the film is Christian Bale’s now infamous tirade on a crew member who walked through his shot.
So why does Joel still want to see it? Is this the week that Lars finally runs over a pedestrian? And what did our co-hosts think of that crazy incident that occurred earlier this morning? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.
