Outro music: “8-bit Junkie” by George Wood

Notes:  More good stuff this week.  Let’s hope the scumbags in the Fed Reserve and the Treasury are forced to releases all of the documentation surrounding the Wall St bailouts in 2008.  Some serious stories, some wacky stories, and more rants!  Hey this week we feature Samuel Smith lager.  It’s pricey but it’s really good!  More gnome-metal from Finntroll and old school metal meets old school rap from Anthrax.  Don’t forget to enter our March contest and leave us some feedback!

Notes:  Another high quality show with the usual blend of stories, rants, music, and alcohol.  We have a few guests this week as well.  Interesting music from a fantasy-folklore-inspired band from Finland called Finntroll (further proving that most Scandinavian people are high) and low-fi punk from the Kaiser Chiefs.  We also enjoyed Buffalo Trace Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey.  Good times!

It’s a little late getting out, but here goes…. if you’ve been listening to the show you know by now that Goldman Sachs is one of the (if not THE) most self-centered and financially destructive corporations in the US.  The CEO and the man behind it all at Goldman Sachs is Lloyd Blankfein.  Our March contest is this: tell us what you would do if you had 5 minutes alone with Lloyd Blankfein.  Would you shake his hand and beg for a job?  Would you pour honey on his face and release a pack of angry bees?  You tell us.  The most creative story will win something cool, so send us an email and get in the contest!

- Featured alcohol: Blue Moon Belgian style ale
- Featured music: Ensiferum and Machine Head

Intro music: “Anhelos” by Leechmaster
Outro music: “8-bit Junkie” by George Wood

Notes: Another BIG show.  It seems that there’s always so much to talk about but never enough time in each show to cover it all.  We’ve been pushing our shows out to about 1.5 hours now and it’s still not enough.  We say good bye to vodka and hello to beer – Blue Moon ale to be exact.  More insightful commentary from Cracker and Killer Mike.  Music from Ensiferum and a controversial song by Machine Head (dedicated to Dimebag Darrell).

It’s late getting out, but free is free so step back.  The contest is this: Tell us what episode did we first give a personal ghost story, and in return we’ll give you something cool and valuable from our treasure chest.  Send us an email with the answer and tune in to Episode 18 to see if you win!

Yep, you read that right.  Even though it’s a tough economy and we are both riding the wave of financial misfortune like so many others, we’re giving stuff away.  Not second-hand or re-gifted stuff either!  We will be making an announcement during the next show (Episode 11) about a contest we are putting on and we’re giving away some cool prizes.  So listen to Episode 11 for all the details.
