This week we consider the age old question "It's-a who?" And the answer is, of course, Mario. That's right, another episode about Super Mario Bros., this time focusing on their latter day exploits in 64 or more bits.
Super Mario made a movie, and although we haven’t seen it yet we HAVE played a bunch of the video games he made. We run through the 8 and 16-bit eras of Mario, The Wizard, the live-action Super Mario movie, the TV show and a whole bunch more.

In these divisive times, the one thing we can all agree on is that once a year a giant anthropomorphic bunny comes into our homes and leaves us baskets full of candy. This week, as we await the arrival of the Easter Bunny, a guy whose deal we don't entirely get, we're talking all about that candy.
Spring has sprung which means we’ve got March Madness as well as a litany of other afflictions. Also Tim tries to get Tom to place a $1,000 bet and Tom discusses the circumstances that ended his first half dozen marriages.

It was our understanding that banks are just fancy houses where your money lives, but recent events have made us realize that the truth is actually much more complicated. This week we try to sort it all out, Tom warns everybody about a new "phone scam" and we discuss why it seems so tantalizingly easy to rob a bank.
What if I told you there’s a world filled with giant animals, beautiful forests and extraterrestrial technologies right under our feet? This week we DIG into the theory that the earth is hollow and filled with wonder instead of just more rocks.

A newspaper comic strip about office culture that launched in 1989 has been in the news lately, because everything is stupid now. This week we're talking all things Dilbert, a successful comic that isn't very funny, written by a bad guy who is extremely weird.
This week we’re covering Diet Coke, the delicious drink that is very healthy. We also cover OK Soda, the drink of choice for disaffected Gen Xers, and the idea of a kamikaze product in the form of Tab Clear.

There's been a lot in the news about balloons lately, so this week we ramble on and on about balloons like a couple of 4 year olds. Also, Tim buys a car on the internet and Tom builds a closer relationship with Bing's chatbot.
