Eat Your Feelings

On February 14th 2018, 17 teenagers were murdered by a gunman in Parkland, FL. So the news ain't so great. Wasn't much of anything else to Chad about so it's back to the ol Criterion Collection. Chad pulls a story from 2013 about scientific discoveries involving Cannibalism in Jamestown (you know, to help cope) and ends up getting hungry. That's where we're at.

Super Balls

It's that time of the year! Frosty winds, hot dishes and friends gathering for that most sacred of potlucks: The SuperBowl. But if you're really watching it for the commercials than maybe there's a problem. Chad is back and outta the Bunker to talk about the history of the SuperBowl's Half-Time show as we pause to ponder if it's really just all about the nachos. 

Featuring "Promises" by the Barreracudas, that ol chestnut.

Candy or Mildly Interesting, Less Upsetting News

It's one more week before Chad and Clark are released from duty for the Resistance and it's a good thing too because it's starting to get boring over there. Luckily they dust off an old chestnut from 4/20 2013 called "Candy News" and neither of them have any idea what it's about. Could be about candy, could be about pot but it's probably about when they caught the Boston Marathon Bomber, so hold on cuz anything is better than nothing.

Thanks to the Barreracudas and they know why.
