First things first, Shawn F. visiting the show and Garry Shandling passing away are unrelated: I simply wanted to include both elements of the show in the title. It’s not like the man entering our studio was the fulfillment of some ancient Indian curse that doomed poor GS. For […]
Co-host Pete and I pay a visit to Staten Island, aka Shaolin Land, home to the famed Wu-Tang Clan. And, with any visit to Staten, comes multiple trips on the Staten Island Ferry (coincidentally, a nickname I derisively called Pete for the entirety of the trip), which is a free, […]
He was like a Brando that could throw a punch. The Muscles from Brussels. We tried to use the terror attacks in Brussels to remember the great things about that city. Since we are uncultured dolts, our list began and ended with Jean-Claude Van Damme, aka The Muscles From Brussels. […]

While the name “Eden Center” suggests a new-age retreat or maybe a cult where the bedding of the underage is not only tolerated but encouraged, it’s actually a Vietnamese mall a few miles outside of DC we have mentioned in passing on the show a few times previously. Well, Pete […]
We start with a tribute to Maurice White of Earth, Wind and Fire, who died right before the recording. If you’re expecting anything in-depth, don’t: I’m a honkey in my mid-30s, meaning I can name three EW+F songs and have banged to none of them. But we do our best. […]
