The closing ceremonies for this show aren’t nearly as flashy as those in Beijing. Frankly, neither are the opening ceremonies. We dive in to the Olympics like so many Greg Louganises, and continue the music-themed Tuesdays trend with “Is it a man or a woman?” Lastly, listener email. There is so much going on in the world right now, it’s just a great time to party. Move over, Ted Kennedy.

Look, nobody likes foreign objects in their food. Especially when you are at a classy place like Texas Roadhouse. But for some people, finding pubes in your sandwich can ruin the only source of joy in your life. Kitchen employees have been known to do even worse things. Like taking baths. Also, we discuss, are nude beaches worth the effort? Is clothing really “optional” or is there pressure to engage in an exercise of  “you show me yours, I’ll show you mine?” No gawking, and did we mention… no gawking?

Listen in this week as our trivia challenge this week has McG sorting out: It is Yoko Ono or Bjork? Two of the greatest mysteries of our lifetimes make their way into this episode. Firstly, does Bigfoot really exist? And second, who ever let Yoko Ono be a singer? Clearly, having a Beatle on your arm is a golden ticket. I’ve got to get one into my life.

Penis. There, we said it. In China, where much of the world is focusing a great deal of attention right now, the penis is not just a reproductive organ, it is also a tasty delicacy served with a spicy dipping sauce. In this episode, we seem to dwell an awful lot on Wal-Mart, Jared, and $5 Footlongs. Neither of us would trade places with Jared Fogle, but not because we wouldn’t like our life’s work to be as a shill for a chain of sandwich joints. It’s just that we don’t think Jared could hold his own on this podcast - for a week or for a year, or for a year and a day.

The reason China has been so warm and inviting is no secret: they are simply showing customer appreciation. Because China is such a huge manufacturer, this will be the first Olympics to feature a Toyotathon. Tune in for a tale of topless baristas, and as a bonus, they are women. We also have a letter from a fan who can see the world in only one of two ways: either gay or supersonically gay. Breaking up is no longer hard to do. In fact, you can get incredibly paid if you play it correctly. Bring all your shoes.

Episode 81: Smelly Pizza Theory

A hoax perpetrated on the American public: Was it a rotting body or a bag of pizza? Fortunately, Floridians have 7 on their side, to come through like Mythbusters. Another hoax is blown wide open by astronaut and lunar explorer Edgar Mitchell, who believes that that the government is covering up UFO and alien encounters. But why is he staying silent on the the real issue - the big secret about the Apollo program that NASA has been shuffling under the carpet when it comes to the moon landings? The one about which only he can expose the real truth; namely, did Alan Shepard’s 6-iron golf drive on the moon really go “miles and miles”?

Is it Genesis or Phil Collins? Join in as we play the game in which you have to identify the song as having originated from one or the other. No cash, no prizes. Void where prohibited. It is our way of ushering in the Eighties of this podcast, so knit yourself some leg warmers and download this episode onto your Commodore 64, or if you swing the other way, your Apple Macintosh. Listen on your Walkman, which for you younger ones, think of it as a cassette-playing iPhone that makes no calls and has no apps. There is no problem with DRM, because it is still unknown to us at this time.

Shakedown 1979. We are so fed up with people trying to rip us off while providing no value, that we get on the topic and never get to the audio clips we had ready to go. Along the way, we discuss, tipping etiquette in pet stores, able-bodied panhandlers and parking rip-offs. We imagine a few ways to pimp your minivan without spending any money. Nobody’s falling for it, but it helps you at least believe you are cool behind the wheel of an oversized grocery getter.

Congratulations are in order to the McG’s as their new son Austin was born on Tuesday. This show was recorded prior to the birth, and treats the birth as a future event, which of course it was at the time.

Night Train, Mad Dog, fermented apple juice… it’s all the same to us. The only difference is what you pair with it, so sometimes you can get away with choosing wine that is below the bottom shelf. You may not mind a low-end beverage with this helping of Olympic gender verification, belly button festival, Christmas in Denmark in July, and what could be the very beginnings of a new video game endeavor, which would admittedly depend entirely on marketing. If it could involve a celebrity, then you could expend less time perfecting the product. All you would have to do is put Chyna Doll’s face on the box, and it would sell many units.

This show has long been known for its fascination with robots. This week, we discuss the world’s first robotic “hottie,” which only leads us to wonder whether the Japanese even know what that word means. If your idea of being a “hottie” involves wearing pants that look like a deflated zeppelin below your hips, than we probably question your familiarity with the concept as well. McG is now closer to 40 than to 30… I’m glad it’s your birthday. (shout outs to Amy Adams, Thurston Moore and Matt LeBlanc)
