S2:E25 – The Screen Savers TV Opening

There was a time, not all that long ago, that a cable channel might consider running a three-to-four hour block of computer tech tips. That network was Tech TV and that show was The Screen Savers. Maybe it wasn’t actually that long, but in our minds, it was an endless stream of registry editing, configuration tweaking and RAM installing minutiae. Exquisite.

To celebrate this bygone era, we watch the original The Screen Savers opening theme on loop!

Aaron Littleton hosts this week and does a classic nice day arm wavey thing. John Hurst co-hosts and shares his gigs.

S2:E24 – Juicy Fruit Commercial

Did Juicy Fruit create extreme sports or did extreme sports create Juicy Fruit? Philosophers will endlessly debate the question, never bothering to learn that Juicy Fruit was first launched in 1893 and that the creation of extreme sports probably had nothing to do with the gum. This classic 80s Juicy Fruit commercial is at the heart of the sordid matter. Teach the controversy.

John Hurst hosts and wonders if the taste is really gonna move ya. Aaron Littleton co-hosts and yells about shirts for a while.

S2:E23 – MathMan: Multiples of 6

After our abysmal math performance in the recent Beverly Hills 90210 episode, listener muteKi suggested that we might need a refresher course in very basic arithmetic and submitted this episode of MathMan, a sketch from the educational PBS show Square One.

MathMan is a beleaguered Pac-Man clone who must use his short time in this world eating answers to math problems lest he be consumed by Mister Glitch. But what does this all have to do with LBJ and mid-tier 70s-era comedians?

Aaron Littleton hosts this week and casts a wide (math) net. John Hurst co-hosts and faces the uncomfortable suggestion that Animaniacs might not be very good.

S2:E22 – Dragon Ball Z TV Opening

Dragon Ball Z seems to be bubbling its way up a lot lately. Maybe it’s nostalgia, maybe it’s the new show, or maybe it has something to do with the radical sequel to Nathaniel Hawthorne’s magnum opus: The Scarlet Letter Z.

Before we get there, though, we’ve got to fulfill the destiny we created for ourselves in our Cheetos Paws episode and eat an edible packing peanut!

John Hurst hosts this episode and chooses the Dragon Ball Z TV opening for our video. Aaron Littleton cohosts and draws a pretty picture.
