Dunesteef That Gets My Goat

So, this is an episode that was recorded just about two years ago (the last week of February 2019) with Rish, Big, and Marshal Latham, in preparation for the release of AVENGERS: ENDGAME later that year.  Rish really wanted to talk about the monumental achievement that was AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR, and that, for a year, the world was stuck with the unhappy ending of all unhappy endings.Of course, we talk about THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, and also speculate a bit about where the fourth Avengers film might go.  And then Rish lost the file.But he found it again when it was far too late to be even remotely relevant, but if you've missed us and our conversations, here it is, in all its . . . glory?You can download it HERE by right-clicking and choosing "save target".

"On the go!" - Big Anklevich"This is the worst episode we've ever done." - Rish OutfieldIn March of 2017, Big and I recorded this episode during a road trip, and I thought it turned out so poorly that I never released it.* But at the same time, I never deleted the file.Well, I decided to listen to it the last time I went camping, and after the first ten minutes or so, I decided it might be entertaining, at least to me and Big. So, here is Big and me discussing the books that shaped America. At least, the books after the most important ones.Whether you agree with the list, and our thoughts about the books on it, I'm sure we can all agree . . . that the sound DEFINITELY makes the episode unlistenable.Download the episode by right-clicking HERE and choosing save link or target as.*Also, the audio quality is slightly worse than terrible.

When Rish went into a bookstore and saw Orson Scott Card's new book "Lost and Found" on the shelf, he thought, "Hey, I wrote a story called that once." But when he read the description of the book, he thought, "Hey, I wrote a story with that plot once." Just that week, he had started work on a sequel, but now he wondered what the point was. What does Big say? What do you say? What might Orson Scott Card say?Download the episode by right-clicking HERE and choosing save link or target as.

Sony and Disney have failed to come to an agreement on Spider-man, and now Sony says it's going to walk away, take their ball and go home, and Spider-man will no longer be a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. What does that mean? Can things possibly still work out? And if they don't, is there any hope for Spider-man?

Two things: 1) this one is another "On The Go" recording, so the sound quality is quite the opposite of good, and 2) This was really hard to come up with a title for.Basically, famous author James Patterson announced a book about a little known author from Maine, which ended up causing some kind of controversy, and ultimately, plans to release "The Killing of Stephen King" were canceled.

Rish asked some of our listeners to name a Christmas song they could do without ever hearing again, and he and Big talk (and sing) all about it.  It's either our best episode of the year or our worst one.  You be the judge!Caveat 1: There's language in this one, more so than even usual.Caveat 2: Sorry about the lateness and condition of this episode. I tried to have it done on time, but the editing program kept on crashing, even to the point where I'd open the program, and before typing a single damned thing, it would crash again. My time was running out, and the only solution I could think of was to go back to the original files, and save them over the corrupted ones, even though it meant losing most of the musical underscore and a lot of the completed editing.And going off to the family farm for Christmas Eve meant I'd have to post the episode myself, which I don't believe has happened before. If there are any problems or major errors in the show, let Big know and we'll get it reposted the right way.Until then, Merry Christmas.
