Hello everyone,
If you are looking for something fun to do this weekend, don’t forget that tomorrow is the seventh annual Day of the Ninja. If you are unfamiliar with the holiday, make sure to check out this post written last year by Michael “Aeonite” Fiegel of Ninja Burger.
Also, in case you missed our announcement last week, we are happy to report that the Mike O’Meara Show will be returning in podcast form next Monday. Make sure to visit MikeOMearaShow.com to hear it.
And finally, Black Friday and Cyber Monday may be behind us, but if you are still looking for a great deal this holiday season, go check out the sexiest shirts on the Internet over at the HoboTrashcan store.
Here’s what’s new on HoboTrashcan.com this week:

Guest Blog Post – The play’s the thing

Hobo Radio 109 – Fulfilling our pop culture obligation
By now, you’ve heard every other website, blog and podcast weigh in on the Tiger Woods scandal. However, since Hobo Radio is primarily a pop culture podcast, Joel Murphy and Lars are actually required by law to share their own two cents on the subject.
But fear not, it’s not all Tiger Woods this week. Our dynamic duo also finds the time to talk about late night talk show hosts, high school theatre and, of course, Batman. They also announce the details of a new contest that gives you, the listener, a chance to be a part of the show each and every week.
What is this exciting contest? What advice do Joel and Lars have for famous married guys? What horrible comment does Joel make to ruin Christmas this year? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.
Finish That Fortune 14
We provide you with the first half of a real fortune from a fortune cookie and it’s up to you to fill in the blank (and you can’t just write “in bed”). Every week, we will pick the funniest response. You won’t actually win a prize, but you will get the satisfaction of knowing that you are better than everyone else. And your name will be printed here on the site, so that others may bask in your glory.
From the Vault – One on One with Annie Duke
Annie Duke isn’t your typical poker player. As if being a woman in a male dominated sport wasn’t tough enough, Duke has to juggle raising four kids with a life on the road. In 2005, Duke was nice enough to take some time out of her busy schedule to talk to us about her life as a professional card player. If you missed the interview then, enjoy it now.
