#296 – Straight On ‘Til Morning
May 09, 2016

 Astral Travel with Peter Pan We began last week broken hearted.  Believing only fools attempt comedy when one of the truly best friends in this or any lifetime would never again laugh with us.   Jim Armstrong was gone and suddenly continuing this podc...

#295 – Passed Over Passover: the lost episode
April 29, 2016

How was your stay sir? No the dog did not eat our mp3. This show went down the rabbit hole when a laptop got left behind, a hotel tried to get it back to us but a delivery service had one too many shipping options. No names.

#294 – Network Numb Nuts
April 13, 2016

Say WHAAAT? Rod Serling would be so proud of NBC. The Nightly News weather graphics dept. brilliantly managed to both mistake WI for MI – and vice versa – and make roughly 16 million people early or late for everything!

#293 – 50 Shades of Brain Freeze
April 07, 2016

Oh thank heaven Be glad you didn’t try to suck down the 64 oz. Ice Age Slurpee. A product that freezes your brain turns 50?! Explains consumer thinking and 80% of network TV doesn’t it? Let the masochistic gulping games begin!

#292 – Baa-aaah
March 31, 2016

100 Divas Every art form has its prima donnas. Divas. Actors, dancers, rock stars… just takes one to blow up a production. Imagine the fun when 100 bleating, over-eating opera singers slide down a chute onto a NYC stage.

#291 – Jim Please Call Home
March 24, 2016

Urgent matter Toronto’s Jim Armstrong, the most prolific songwriter and brilliant music producer we’ve ever known, has not been seen since March 9th. Epilepsy plays a role. Jim is a dear friend. We took the first 3 minutes of the show to honor and help...

#290 – El Chapo You Don’t Know Hell
March 18, 2016

No Signs of Intelligent Life Recent events suggest there really is something weird in the water, but when in doubt blame the stupid people.  How’s that for self-serving?   Blowhard Trump and his Legion of Dolts get a pass.

# 289 – Aeschylus, Little Marco & Messages from Above
March 11, 2016

Dylan said it best Their names, faces and abhorrent behavior have become the laughing stock of America.  Bad enough that Ted, Marco and ‘The Donald’ haven’t a clue what decorum and ‘acting presidential’ mean.  Worse,

Frosty Sleeps with Fishes
December 26, 2015

This encore episode was first heard on Dec. 19, 2015 Warning: Mob Crossing! Every child knows his name.  He’s a Christmas icon.  Frosty T. Snowman is many things (just ask CBS) and, as you will learn, made an enemy he couldn’t refuse.  RIP F.T.

Pick It, Earl
December 22, 2015

Schooled Quick, name a trade that if you fail it usually means jail. Give up? Hel-lo! Image clue right there -> Not that picking a lock is difficult- not if you have a brain. Day 5 of our 12 Days of Dumb takes us to school - in a box.
