Notes:  So long 2009, don’t let the door hit you on the way out!  We do a quick wrap-up of some of the topics we covered this year and cover a few new articles from the past week.  It’s open season on corporate criticism in this episode, and we don’t hold anything back.  We bring in Elijah Craig bourbon whiskey to go bottom’s up against Maker’s Mark and the winner is crowned as the Bourbon Whiskey Champion of 2009.  This was a fun show, and at just over 1 hour 20 minutes, it’s also the longest.  We’re looking forward to an awesome new year…. there’s always plenty of bullsh*t to talk about.

Notes:  Our official “Christmas Show”, with a few guests to join in the holiday festivities (i.e. drinking whiskey, b*tching about current events, etc).  Following up on Part 1 of our Whiskey Showdown, Episode 9 features Part 2: Wild Turkey vs. Maker’s Mark.  It wasn’t easy picking a winner this time around, listen in to find out who won.  Also, this episode includes two featured bands: Balzac, a band from Japan, and Shihad, a band from New Zealand.  The crazy thing is that neither one of us knew which bands we were picking for the show, yet we both picked bands from outside the US that have their roots in punk rock (Balzac = more old school punk and Shihad = more nu-punk).  Plus our usual ghost updates to round out the show.  Leave us some feedback on the changes we’ve been making…. and we hope you have a great holiday weekend.

Notes:  Another great show!  December is the month of change I guess, since we changed a few things with this show too.  We spread the music out and featured a brand new song from Slayer and a psychobilly band from Finland.  Also, the alcohol review is for two whiskeys in a head-to-head, bottom’s up competition.  Lots of randomness and we even kicked up the sound effects throughout the show.  This was a fun show and at just over 1 hour, it’s our longest show so far.  So much entertainment for so little money….. spread the word!  Don’t forget to leave us some feedback.

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

Notes:  Slight change in the show format this time around.  Christmas music overload on the airwaves in Southern California, so we dug up some good metal music to help you forget about the “fa la la” and roasting chestnuts.  Interesting findings in the Top 10 Fattest Countries list.  We busted out some SOD, Slayer, and Megadeth…. and no we didn’t a pay f***ing penny to anyone to play those songs.  We both agree that Simpler Times beer, at 6.2% alcohol and $2.50 a six-pack, is an awesome deal and some good beer to boot.  Leave us some feedback!

Episode 2 is done and ready for your listening displeasure.  No alcohol review this week, didn’t want any run-ins with the popo since they were out in full force in the neighborhood. We also got some mic and EQ problems fixed that were present in the first episode.  Overall, it’s closer to good than the first one!

I’m going to try to get each episode published by Sunday evening.

Via myfox8.com:

“It might not be worth as much as a grilled cheese sandwich said to bear the image of the Virgin Mary, but a North Carolina woman believes she’s found a well-known Christmas character in her pork chop.  Sue Church stopped by the FOX8 studios on Tuesday morning to show us a pork chop that resembles Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.  Some have suggested the meat actually resembles the antler-wearing dog in How the Grinch Stole Christmas.  The aforementioned grilled cheese sandwich fetched $28,000 in an eBay auction in 2004, a decade after it was discovered.  What do you think Sue’s pork chop looks like?”

You can call it whatever you want, but it looks like she already tried to eat it.  Many times.

According to a recent article in Reuters, Best Buy claims they’re not going to make drastic cuts to lure in the customers during the holidays.  I guess Best Buy didn’t get the memo…. you know, the one about unemployment creeping up to 10% nationally?  I’m sure by December unemployment will hit 10%.  From what I remember, last year was crazy for people buying flat-panel TVs and $300 netbooks, so I seriously doubt the demand will be the same this year.  The obvious solution is don’t buy if you don’t have the money, but if you do, then buy from Amazon or Costco.  Best Buy can go the way of Circuit City and CompUSA for all I care.
