Week 103 Spotlight: What are we trying to say?
Only Joel Murphy and Lars Periwinkle could have a talk about the evening news somehow devolve into a discussion of fake scientists, overpriced shooters and pepper spray.
Somehow, they also find the time to discuss two great evils this week – Jay Leno and George Lucas. Leno is continuing to run NBC into the ground with poor ratings in the 10 p.m. timeslot and an unconfirmed report claims that Lucas is considering going forward with three more Star Wars films. Neither story makes our co-hosts very happy.
How would Joel deal with NBC’s Jay Leno problem? What is the qualification to become a “scientist”? What does George Lucas have in common with Hitler? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

I remember that story with the samurai sword guy. All my geeky LARPer friends were talking about it and thinking how cool it would be to be featured on the news as “The Swordsman.”
And can I please be the one to punch the person responsible for casting Alicia Silverstone and screwing up Batgirl? Pretty pretty please?
Also: SCIENCE!!!

I’ve decided to take a hiatus from the woodwork and stick around for a while.
If you two do decide to sell your services as the ‘anti-yes men’, I will totally pay you to be mean to me. Of course, I will be watching Jay Leno and playing with swords the entire time, so there are a few strings attached. Can you handle that much chin and samurai shit talking in one sitting?
