Talk about your crazy random happenstances how about a hurricane/nor-easter hybrid followed by a freak snow storm? Our hearts go out to all those so royally screwed by mother nature these past few weeks and Marc and I are here for you with the funny…if you have power and a working Internet connection. There was also this national election thingy that happened apparently and Marc and I had some less than orthodox ways of deciding who got our vote for the local school boards. So before you have a meltdown as epic as Karl Rove, download, listen and laugh your cares away.

In this week’s episode, we vent, a lot. Sorry for the hiatus but after the trials and tribulations of moving into my first apartment I’ve learned two things 1. Nothing ever goes the way you plan and 2. CABLEVISION’s OPTIMUM SUCKS! So listen in as we discuss the art of seduction as demonstrated by cable companies to get you to assume the position and just what happens once you do. We then wonder why it seems that more and more people lacking in basic interpersonal skills are taking jobs in customer service. This episode will make you face palm so hard you’ll leave a mark.

WARNING: EXPLICIT CONTENT! This week’s podcast is not your granny’s podcast. Please do not gather the children round the old iPod for this one. We start off with Marc getting punked at work and move into our favorite things from the week. This leads to a discussion of cockfighting and strippers. Yes, that’s right, cockfighting and strippers. We then end with a real life fairy tale, to cleanse the palate. This episode just has to be heard to be believed.
