Mike and Rich continue their attempts at keeping the podcast going by recording a new episode. This week we welcome back our friend Mike Knapp from the WIOX radio show the Main Event. We start out talking about Meta World Peace being sexually assaulted by a ghost. Move onto a surprising and disturbing discussion on serial killers and end the night talking about how many Oreo cookies can you eat and still consider yourself on a diet. Please listen and review to the show on iTunes or Stitcher. 

Hey were back! After a long break Mike and Rich decide to start bothering people with our insane discussions and life views. This week we reintroduce ourselves by reading some dirty limericks. We try out a new segment where we go inside Mike's brain and what he thinks on a day to day basis and we get to hear Rich tell a take of making a waiter's life a living hell.

This week Rich and Mike discuss the growing phenomenon that is Pokemon Go, then they discuss an article about cell phones causing long wait times at restaurants, and dive into having to serve Jury Duty. 

This week rich and Mike invite a new friend Matt to come and waste some time with us. We talk about his past as a armature Counter Strike player. The idea of people needing to see car accidents and other tragedies. Charlie Sheen's new condom why people need to watch sports live and cheer at bars hundreds of miles away. Rich rails against Youtube stars. Our old man rants that Dub Step is just noise and not music. Lastly Rich once again tells us stories from security guard duty.

Here it is guys the story that started it all. Our long time friend and co-host Scott tell the amazing story of how he won the 2000 NY state championship of Magic the Gathering. It is a real Rudy story where a 15 year old nobody rose through the ranks and beat one of the most famous Magic players to take the win. Rich and Mike sit in awe of his fantastic story. Please rate the show to help us gain some more people listening to great stories like this.

This week our friend Scott sits in again. Mike tells tales of potty training his daughter. While Rich and Scott brag about winning their bowling league. Then Rich tells a harrowing tale of free comic book day and having to do a presentation after a raffle. Then he talks about his new job as a bouncer and the benefits of standing on a stage at a night club where no one wants to look at you.

This week Rich speaks of a gas station bathroom that is a portal to another dimension. A cat named Mr. Fluffy is leaving body parts all over the house. And a dog named buttercup is pooping in strange places.

This week Rich continues expanding on his new adventurous life as he talks about doing a panel at Long Island Geek Convention about his comic book and the art of making comics. Rich explains the limited draw of this local convention. Hiding from security, a near miss argument with a DC comic artist and how the whole almost fell apart at the last minute. Mike tries to join in by telling a story from his tales of tech support hell. They also both tell tales of having to do best man speeches.

This week Rich regals us with his experience playing basketball on the Suffolk County Freelancers. A rag tag group of misfits who sometime win amateur league basketball games. Then he moves on to his Bowling league and the creepy sad losers who are different from him somehow even though they all bowl in the same league. 

This week Rather Be Dead invites back Dan McInerney to help us go through some news articles we found. We talk Tay the  Microsoft twitter bot and how no one but assholes would be twitting it to begin with.

Today Rather Be dead is proud to showcase the premier episode of our new podcast Wrestler Film Federation.  The podcast where three judges pit two films starring professional wrestlers against each other and decide which one deserves to be the winner. For our first film we could not do better than No Holds Barred. This film is amazing and deserves the title of the first ever WFF champion. Mike "Baby Gorilla Hands" McInerney, Rich "The Million Dollar Brain" Spinello, and "Fatty Jackson" judge and score this movie on our 5 category system. Those scores will be used to compare with our next film to see which film will pile drive the other into submission. We also take a look at some wrestler cameos in movies in our under-card fights. Can Kevin Nash as Super Shredder beat Triple H as a vampire in Blade Trinity? Or will The Big Show's Captain Insano defeat Macho Man Randy Savage as Bonesaw and take the whole thing? Listen to find out.

Where we see the e-sports going in the future and what will make it easier for the masses to get involved in professional gaming.

This week Rich takes control of the show and brings us a new game he created. Netflix life necessity or bottom abyss of madness. We invite our friend Jay in to compete with Mike in this movie themed game show. We try to come up with titles for movies based on their plots and see how many actors we can name in famous movies.
