Kooky Cookies (opens the original)
Read excerpt
"Got Milk?" Because we got cookies. Jay and Mitch taste test and rank chocolate chip cookies made in-store from 5 regional/national retailers. Whose cuisine will reign supreme? We have no idea as that is "Iron Chef", but find out which of the 5 is our favorite. At "The Coffee Table", Mitch reads about wells and traps while Jay has more "Barguments". Closing out the episode: Mitch has an OWI, Jay has bears, and Mitch has a bonus story of another bear in "This, Ya Call News?".
You Got Games On Your Phone? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You're at a family reunion that you had to show up to to keep up appearances. You sit in a corner of the living room and doomscroll. All of a sudden, one of your snot-faced nephews comes up and says: "You got games on your phone?". Mitch and Jay discuss mobile games. Fire, water, and "Barguments" arise at "The Coffee Table". Mitch has some disarming words and Jay has Social Security Numbers to close us out in "This, Ya Call News?".
People Will Buy Anything (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We've already discussed various pitchmen with good reputations (see Season 2 Episode 13 Infomercials), but what about some of the products that were not so great? We listen and react to some of the most dubious advertisements memorialized via "YouTube". Elevators, knots, weapons, and profanity--no, it's not a spy film--it's "The Coffee Table"! We close out this episode with wi-fi surveillance and "Goodwill" in "This, Ya Call News?".
These Videos Should Be Deleted (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You have probably heard: just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Well, we found a few videos that have made their way around the interwebs when the original uploader probably should have taken that advice. We discuss videos that should be scrubbed for our "Topic Of The Week". In "AI Heard That", we have more song covers and a nightmare. Mitch has a naked hero and Jay has lost his ever-phubbing mind in "This, Ya Call News?".
What I Did For My Vacation Is (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some wise women once said, "Vacation, all I ever wanted. Vacation, had to get away. Vacation, meant to be spent alone."--maybe not necessarily the last statement, but vacation can be exactly what you need to get your head back on straight. Mitch and Jay discuss vacations and the experiences therein. "AI Heard That" gets a little meta and, no, we're not talking about Facebook. For "This, Ya Call News?", Jay has wi-fi woes and Mitch has "bare-beaters" (not what you may think).
