EPISODE #62-- After a brief, but necessary delay, the boys are back, recharged and full of glorious news. Today they tackle the issues of the. . . day, with stories on a nun-based robbery, some prophylactic meth candles, and, most importantly, cannibal ennui.

EPISODE #61-- Back into the breach with an episode that barely involves any dead bodies at all. Today Alex and James rap about Burger King's crypto-currency, French wine thieves, and a dummy that tried to run from the police. They also get into it about kosher meats, travel, Silicon Valley, and the coolest character in Soul Caliber. Oh, and more bad French accents. Follow James on twitter @kislingtwits and Alex @giraffetermath.

EPISODE #60-- See? We're back! Today on the news we're dealing with nefarious whale-shark meat dealers, the ongoing French-Spanish wine wars, and ecstasy pills shaped like Donald Trump's big, dumb head. Alex and James also get into it about The Wire, French GI Joes, bad accents, and Alex's ongoing health woes. Follow James on twitter @kislingtwits and Alex @giraffetermath.

EPISODE #57, #58, and #59-- Due to a major audio eff-up, we lost the original version of episodes #57-59. So, instead of dredging them up and trying to make them listenable, we just ran roughshod through the stories we did last time. It. . . Worked out okay? Whatever. Listen or don't. What do I care? Follow James on twitter @kislingtwits and Alex @giraffetermath.
