Emo. If you want to get on that train, there is a well-fine set of criteria that you must meet. But keep in mind, It’s a not just a way of life, it’s also a forgettable form of popular music. But having their own music doesn’t prevent them from borrowing a sound from other bands, just as every other musician before them. Capital Z and McG intend to spend their February 29 going Leap Day caroling, as we head from door to door singing bissextile songs and spreading intercalary cheer.

Episode 47: The Chuck Norris Effect
February 26th, 2008 § 0
We have no Huckabee news, but we’ve got more great moments in parenting, great moments in homecoming queening, and great moments in school ditching. A low point in the history of telephone pranking, however, comes with a lonely 911 prankster who sounds like he has no tongue. And also, we throw in a badass of the week, pitting a quick-witted store clerk against a Baltimore cop who lays the smackdown on the lowest of the low criminals: skateboarders. Get up, a-get get get down.
Episode 46: Georgia
February 19th, 2008 § 0
Sometimes dirty words just slip out. Sometimes they are intentional and sometimes it’s an accident. This week a particularly nasty word came out on a major news program leaving the hosts to scramble to apologize and pretend that it was inadvertent. This episode has the radiationsters talking about the language police, African dance crazes and fun with asphyxiation. Oh, can’t forget steroid using baseball players and their recently remodeled shrinky dinks. Is McG your man when it comes to whacking you in the head with a wiffle ball bat? Bingo.
Episode 45: Triple Protection
February 15th, 2008 § 0
Dead presidents in pimp gear? Kids pulling pranks with fake guns? Cops abusing quadriplegics? Whooooaa! Trying to think of all the adjectives to describe the behaviors that some of our fellow human beings engage in is about as difficult as winning the big game…when you are a golden retreiver, or a teen-aged werewolf. Z and McG drop a truckload of crazy on you like it’s hot. Whoa.
Episode 44: Heart-Shaped Box
February 12th, 2008 § 0
In this special episode, Capital Z and McG put the Aztec Fu on St. Valentine’s Day, with topics such as aphrodisiacs, crummy chocolate and tips for what to do if you are alone on V-Day. The verdict: Valentine’s Day is pure suck. Do not discount the educational value of this podcast, because we have insightful content, including some pre-Columbian mezo-American language, how to tell when your chocolate is good (lustrous sheen) or bad (infested with bugs), and maybe if you pay attention you will learn how to realize…
Episode 43: The Final Countdown
February 8th, 2008 § 0
Capital Z awaits his opportunity to get on the Jeopardy bus to get his shot at some of that sweet Jeopardy loot. We have some alternate suggestions for songs that NASA could beam to other stars. Because jars of supposedly squeezeable mayonnaise probably cause frustration in every corner of the universe, we have a song just for them. In classic fashion, we imagine what goes on after hours at California’s drug vending machines. Scooby Snacks for everyone! Bring your waded-up singles.
Episode 42: Hotcakes In A Can
February 5th, 2008 § 0
Scientists are now working on a method to convert this podcast into biofuel, so download it and do your part to help the environment, and to help the podcast that’s selling like, well, you know. These scientists incidentally are taking a break from examining how many bacteria are transmitted through chip dip, and finding the evasive cure for the HIV. Super Tuesday, Paczkis, and a little thing called gay disco all creep in to give this show that old-time podcast feel.
Episode 41: Prosthetic Tongue
February 1st, 2008 § 1
We revisit our NFL pre-season predictions, and Capital Z and McG want to say that they hope that none of the listeners of this show lost money betting our picks. We’ve got art from banana stickers, laws against free newspapers, and ads for hitmen. As we are very unfamiliar with the rules for engaging hitmen or figuring out who to whack, we may seem a little lost. McG does this podcast in a dirty clown suit, but only because there was a double dog dare involved.
