Podcasts about mitcz

Stoya was in LA, so she and Mitcz took the opportunity to record a podcast in his living room with clip-on mics (while Mitcz’s cat wandered in and out, constantly distracting Stoya) to discuss some HUGE upcoming ZeroSpaces.com changes, and – more to the point – walk you through everything in the latest ZS issue named EXPLORE. You’ll get some fun behind the scenes information, some untold stories, how issues come together, and some personal anecdotes about the motivations, reactions, and more related to the issue. It’s not just an advert, we promise, it’s actually fun and insightful as well.

Stoya and Mitcz start with a discussion of their dating priorities, which leads to them both wondering how anyone else treats the dilemma of an instant electric attraction vs the feeling of safety and security. With this dilemma, they reach out to their friends of a variety of genders and dating situations to ask the question and get a range of responses that illuminate how varied the question itself can evolve, as well as the answers, in this most wide-ranging discussion they’ve had yet.

"Ethically nonmonogamous" Mitcz Marzoni (https://revmitcz.com/) is this episode's special guest, along with obsessively monogamous fan favorite Heather Marulli. The topic: open relationships and how they function. Mitcz describes his dating life while Heather has PTSD flashbacks. Isaac wonders if the cycle of endlessly pursuing something new is even more of a prison than a monogamous relationship. Charles thinks people are less monogamous than they claim. Also discussed: Satanism, whether men or women are more attached to experiences, and Heather's love of dirty talk.

Stoya & Mitcz talk about their long-awaited collaborative adult web project ZeroSpaces. It’s live now, but we recorded this a few days ago to prepare. There’s also plenty of cat talk, some industry rants, and the usual banter. Mitcz’s mic wasn’t working properly, so his audio isn’t quite as nice as usual. He apologizes for that.

This week, Mitcz heads to downtown LA to participate… err.. well, watch, the LA County Board of Supervisors hearing on the proposed updated implementation of LA County’s “Measure B” provision, which is another of those pesky anti-porn “you need condoms, you heathens!” laws. We discuss what went down, how it went down, and do some journalist stuff. Like professionals! Kinda! Stoya gives historical perspectives, a lot of educational remarks, and provides a lot more background on the various laws discussed in this episode.

Here it is, the long-awaited post Exxxotica Chicago 2017 wrap-up episode. It’s a shorter one, both because there wasn’t a lot we (publicly) had to talk about – being a convention and all – and because we’re aiming for shorter, but more frequent, episodes. So, strap in and hear all about our trip to Chicago!

This is a special double-episode : Pre and Post Stoya-in-Helsinki edition. Up first : Stoya & Mitcz discuss the recent Alamo Drafthouse Wonder Woman screening controversy, lending itself to a brief discussion of masculinity and Bromance (which is officially a scholarly term, we found out). From there, we discuss the two-part T*ts and Sass articles about Hot Girls Wanted, and what they explain about the adult industry – including what Rashida Jones truly think of sex workers (in her own words). We also discuss a fascinating, yet largely forgotten, bit of history when women used hatpins for self defense and the controversy and legal battles that ensued. To round out part 1, we end on a discussion that was touched upon in our Buck Angel episode : women being the sexual pursuer, how Stoya navigates the dating/sex playing field, and how Mitcz does so from the other side of the aisle, while finishing on some discussions about catfishing and online roleplaying. In part 2, we discuss Stoya’s fun adventures at Wonderlust in Helsinki — including hug procedures, Stoya gets into some rough BDSM spank play, and how Serbia is treating her. There’s a lot of smaller topics and tangents both parties get into and Stoya tells a fascinating story about her layover in Berlin. We round out part 2 with a discussion of power dynamics in relationships based on role, job, age, and more. Lastly, our first round of “Stoya Guess Pop Culture”. There’s something for everyone! (hopefully?) in this episode.

Ohh boy is this gonna be a fun episode for you. For the first time ever we have a special guest : the one and only Buck Angel. He was a g’damn delight, and managed to talk more than Mitcz! We discuss so many things in this episode, it’s easier to use a list format than the usual paragraph style : Trans-folk in contact sports Lorelei Lee’s fantastic (must-read!) “once you’ve done porn…” article Insider adult industry talk about economics, monopolies, and the stigma that affects people in and around the sex industry The many hats of Buck Angel’s enterprise and career (and the first-ever “stroker” toy designed for trans-men) Why Stoya can’t keep pervy secrets A whole bunch of informative, positive discussion about gay & trans communities, rights, attitudes, and controversies Masculine fragility and presumed ownership … and then a fun little bit at the end where we learn what the literal translations of Mandarin Chinese names for various animals are, and Buck tells a personal anecdote about owls that’ll amuse and amaze you.

Oh, snap! A Big Hack! Yes, yes, of COURSE we talk in-depth about the huge multi-country, multi-target WannaCry / WannaCrypt / WannaCrypt0r hack. In fact, we even discuss motives, methods, history, and resolution of the hack by way of Mitcz over-explaining boring technical details of the code involved. But, like any good sandwich, the meat is in the middle where we talk about security, Artificial Intelligence, Apple, Amazon, our boyfriend Elon Musk, Netflix, and a whole lot more weird news in and around the tech world. Also, for the first time ever, this one features a “coming up next time on Vulgar Tech…” teaser. There’s just so much going on!

We kick things off this week with some exciting Riffopolis Network news, before delving into Amazon’s latest whacky Echo product : a style assistant? Yes, an AI Style Assistant in a webcam. Alex gets very upset about it and rants and raves wildly. We discuss a new software API for artificial voiceover creation – and debating the merits of such a tool. Moving into one of our favorite topics, we discuss the new Arlan Robotics “Service Droid” (which is just a fancy way of saying it’s a robot that sucks your… well, you get the idea) and get into very detailed and lewd discussion of technique and enjoyment. Other topics include : Larry Page (of Google)’s new “flying car” project, why Mark Zuckerberg is insane, commercials that utilize voice-based assistant tech to advertise on their behalf, and rounding out with an in-depth discussion of the nascent Lab Grown Meat industry.

We’re back again and finally have a proper name for this thrice-renamed podcast. This time, it’ll stick! This episode is far more representative of our hopes for this podcast. We talk a LOT about sex work, sex workers, sex workers’ rights, feminism (and the controversy about feminism vs sex work), trans-folk rights and America’s dismissal of same, answering listeners’ questions, making a lot of jokes, keeping a positive attitude, and exploring nuances of so many related topics. If you stick around until the end, you’ll learn how Stoya and Mitcz met, and hear some fun insider knowledge about their respective careers. As always, we want to hear from you! Tell us what YOU want to talk about – just use the contact links on Riffopolis.com to reach out.

Hey look! We’re kinda keeping something of a schedule here! Okay, let’s talk about the episode… We start off with tangents about Amazon’s Alexa, then move into a proposed “pinball for rent” business idea while also discussing tech that only the uber-rich have (and can afford). From there, we discuss why Lyft doesn’t understand April Fools’ Day (aka “Internet Douchebag Day”) before delving into a discussion about a hacked camera-dildo device, which leads to Alex defining a new term : “Mandelberg’s Law” which, distilled to its core, is “any device with a computer inside of it will inspire someone to hack it”, while Mitcz tries to propose an easy and secure solution for the lackluster security standards for the Internet of Things. We also discuss the maybe-devil of internet startups (seriously, you might punch something when you hear about it), some exciting Apple news (they pretend to care again about their pro users), before delving into two of our favorite topics : Elon Musk and the growing industry of self-driving vehicles. It’s a long, but — we think — entertaining and perhaps fascinating episode that’ll keep you busy until we stop being lazy long enough to do this again. But we’re getting better! Let us know what YOU wanna hear about and maybe we’ll talk about it.

We’re baaaaack! Hello 2017! This being our first podcast in the new year, we kick things off with our weird tech predictions (spoiler : Mitcz’s predictions are weird and nerdy, Alex’s are lofty). We  also discuss other company’s predictions like Uber’s master plan for flying cars, and Amazon’s master plan for automated grocery stores. We explore Twitter and Facebook’s tech reactions to the 2016 U.S. Elections (and what Twitter is doing about trolls), before moving into our favorite discussions of morality and utility as we learn about the first planned head transplant to take place this December, 2017. To round it all out, we touch on Alex’s favorite topic – SPORTS! – by way of exploring the world of dating apps and Mitcz blows Alex’s mind by showing him the private, invite-only “Tinder for Celebrities” (that both of them aren’t allowed to be on).

We know, we know. It’s been awhile. Over a year. We’ve been busy. And there’s been some changes (and exciting things on the way!). In a first-ever, Stoya & Mitcz actually recorded this in-person, in the same room! We dance around legalities as per what we can officially announce, but those who know how to read into things will know what we mean. We take some audience questions which include Stoya’s retrospective view on her career, and a lengthy discussion on robot sex, androids, VR, and high-tech pornography. Amongst all of that, we still manage to sneak in some discussions on sexual health, adult industry history and ethics, and advice for the casual listener. Also, we make a promise to actually update this podcast more often, once we figure out a new name.

Since we finally started doing new VT episodes again, we’re doing time-relevant tech updates and speculation again! And almost none of them are Apple-related! We discuss the restaurant industry, Alex’s fascinating theory on McDonalds, Netflix, Snapchat’s weird new hardware device that will usher in the acceptance of a loss of privacy, how shitty Yahoo is – was – and continues to be, a rat birth control product, and SO much about self-driving & autonomous cars. Finally, we end on a discussion of madman (and suspected robot) Elon Musk, and his plans to bring SpaceX to Mars and just WTF that means for humanity, space exploration, technology, and the human race.

The Apple iPhone 7 / Watch 2 event went down the day before this episode was recorded and we sat down to discuss it. Mitcz makes his attempt at an impassioned case for the removal of the headphone jack, while Alex gets pissy about the price on the AirBuds. We also talk a lot about Alex’s recent switch from a Samsung Android phone to an iPhone 6. Tesla Autopilot saves a man’s life, so… of course we talk about self-driving cars. This is posted much later than it was recorded because we didn’t like the audio quality of it, but after recording another take a week later, we realized the content was more important than the audio quality. Sorry.

Comedian/Entertainer; Rev. Mitcz is my latest guest onboard! You might remember him from “Bad Girls” or his appearance on “Entourage”. Join me “Live and Onboard” & find out who the real Mitcz is! Another fun episode out on the water in Marina del Rey, California. … Read More

We kick things off this week with two cat-related news items, leading Stoya and Mitcz to discuss their struggles with their hyper cats that know how to — and always keep trying to — play fetch. Stoya sets the record straight about a story that her TrenchcoatX co-owner (Kayden Kross) loves telling people — and Stoya posits a theory about why Kayden loves embellishing the story every time. Mitcz introduces Stoya to the “Nutscaping” phenomena, leading to a discussion of #freethenipple and Instagram censorship. Stoya discusses her ongoing battle with “the turks” after Mitcz finds an interesting Google trend with her name. We spend the final 1/3rd of the podcast discussing sex trafficking, and mainstream media’s inability to actually report on it properly, and Stoya makes a number of suggestions on how they should deal with the subject moving forward. Remember : you can send messages to Stoya or Mitcz to suggest topics for upcoming shows by clicking either one’s name from our podcast page. We’ll be back every other week, so you’ve got plenty of time to come up with something juicy.

In our inaugural episode, Stoya presents the idea of a “Church of Porn” after a brief discussion of coconut oil as lube while Mitcz tries to get a fuller picture of what the Church of Porn can do for the follower. Our main story this episode is PornHub’s “revenge porn reporting tool”. Stoya has a lot to say on the matter, remains skeptical of their intentions, and gives an overview of the revenge porn space as it relates to multiple online companies, while Mitcz investigates just how crappy the PornHub tool actually is. The show gets light-hearted afterwards, as Stoya and Mitcz discuss consent, first dates, and finally Stoya shares with us a fascinating story of how she lost her virginity. Remember : you can send messages to Stoya or Mitcz to suggest topics for upcoming shows by clicking either one’s name from our podcast page. We’ll be back every other week, so you’ve got plenty of time to come up with something juicy.

We’re back after a two week hiatus – sorry! But we’ve got a lot of little tech morsels — some of them vulgar — for you. From the “Uber for Gas” and “Uber for Tailoring” to Google’s proposed new OS for the Internet of Things, to IKEA’s official Hack system, to Nintendo’s curious VP of Sales. We also clear the air about the rumor of Netflix running ads, while Alex goes off on a rant about the importance of advertising, which leads to Twitter’s terrible advertising system (and their sheer idiocy in auto-approving Promoted Tweets). We delve into the world of teledildonics and VR porn. Mitcz says “yawn”, Alex says “wait and see…” as we debate the merits and pitfalls of various futuristic sex devices. We round out the show with a discussion about Ross Ulbricht’s life sentence, a discussion of Silk Road, and whether or not the sentence was fair.

Sorry we were late this week. It’s been crazy around here. We start off with a correction, and a couple of quick news items — like the fall of the House of Keurig (okay.. “fall” is a little strong. The weakening?), and some Amazon Echo enhancements. With Google finally testing its self-driving cars on public roads, we re-visit the world of self-driving cars, which somehow leads into a an in-depth discussion of road-head, masturbation, sex toys, and cunnilingus. We end the episode talking about Oculus Rift and other Virtual Reality headsets and technologies, the future of videogames, a quick review of “Mortal Kombat X”, and compare our favorite party games of all time.

Mitcz is pleased that he successfully predicted (with some caveats) two stories that are tackled this week. We talk about Tesla’s new home battery, why it’s worthwhile, and whether it’s useful beyond its intended target. We also discuss self-driving semi trucks, and what the future holds, debate about what laws should be made, and the efficacy of computer-driven driving machines. In addition to several new products hitting the market — both of which entice Alex — we also discuss Microsoft’s plans for the upcoming Windows 10 roll-out.

We discuss Tesla’s secret-but-not-secret upcoming home battery project, which evolves into discussing their vehicles and vehicles in general. Alex gets an education about what The Singularity actually entails, and we discuss the morality of becoming “one”. After running through some recent tech news, we settle into a discussion about Google’s hope for defeating patent trolls, and debate the utility of patents in general. Our final story is about John Deere’s DMCA bullying of farmers trying to work on their own tractors, which John Deere claims their customers no longer own outright, leading to a discussion and debate about what is ownership, and whether or not companies have a right to enforce limits on software in the hands of end-users.

We start off with a discussion about our now-smarter home. A lot happened in a week, and we now have a Smart Speaker (Amazon Echo), a Smart Thermostat (Nest 2.0), and a Smart Lock (Kwikset Kevo). We talk about the plusses and minuses of each, the actual usefulness of each, and some upcoming features announced for our Kevo smart lock. From there, we move on to a discussion of Android updates to non-Google devices, and why Samsung is the security guard in the hotel room when you hire a hooker (it makes more sense in context). We meant to just brush past a quick note about Star Wars hitting iTunes, but it turned into well over half the show being about Star Wars. If you hate Star Wars, I’d apologize, but you have no soul so it doesn’t really matter.

Our Amazon Echo arrived earlier than anticipated. After an initial estimate of April 24th, Mitcz got an email on Tuesday that it was on its way and would arrive Thursday. It arrived the following day (today). So, as promised, we unboxed it here on this episode and ran “Alexa” through her paces. We even Periscope’d a good portion of the episode (including the actual unboxing). At 14:10, Mitcz accidentally makes a request to Alexa that not only elicits a hilarious response, but leads to us shouting all sorts of things at the Echo because of how she handles vulgar language. Listen as Mitcz & Alex talk about the ups and downs of this new “Smart Speaker” device.

Quite a few tangents in this episode as we successfully test and broadcast with Periscope, and Mitcz explains why it didn’t work last time. Since his issues with Periscope were related to two-factor authentication, Mitcz rants about his frustration with companies not fully supporting the two-factor authentication they themselves developed (and explains WTF two-factor authentication means). Alex again accuses Mitcz of being an obsessed Apple fanatic, which Mitcz tries in vain to explain and define. We also talk about our love of boobs, and how they can heal the heaviest of hearts. The episode ends with news of the Apple Watch selling out in 6 hours, Mitcz explaining why not to buy one right now, and how wrong tech pundits tend to be in Apple predictions, and how much of a douchebag Steve Ballmer is.

Finally moving past “He Who Shall Not Be Named”, we get into a user-submitted suggestion of discussing Meerkat and Periscope and the drama that surrounds it. We even tried to use Periscope live on the air, and came to the conclusion that it’s too buggy to bother with and quite a load of crap. We also discuss the upcoming trend of computers-on-a-stick that can turn any TV into a computer with a simple HDMI port, and how that might change computing. Amazon’s new “Dash Button” service is discussed, and Mitcz gives pro tips on how to avoid phishing scams (and also WTF a phishing scam actually is).

As promised during last week’s episode, Mitcz finally watched CitizenFour and took copious notes. In this episode, Mitcz discusses the few issues he had with the documentary itself, does some fact-checking, runs a ridiculous math explanation on the numbers Edward Snowden used during the doc, and expresses his feelings about Snowden. Alex disagrees with Mitcz’s contention of Snowden’s actions at first, but gets dangerously close to actually agreeing with him towards the end. This episode is 2 hours of basically just that discussion, so if you’re tired of hearing about the NSA, Snowden, the CitizenFour documentary, or internet security, then you’re gonna hate this. But, in all likelihood, there’s some new and interesting information and discussion here that you’ve probably not heard before.

Mitcz and Alex discuss a particularly embarrassing Safari bug as it relates to privacy browsing – aka “porn mode”, while Mitcz rants about some tech companies’ refusals to actually acknowledge that sometimes people just want to be filthy. The discussion evolves into discussions of blocking and flagging content on various websites, privacy implications, and the inside world of OKCupid moderation. They also discuss Tesla’s upcoming “automated steering” (not a so-called”autopilot” mode), sensationalistic headlines, the future of cars, and Mitcz makes some bold predictions that he’s probably wrong about.

It’s a question for our modern age. With our advances in society, law, technology, and most importantly : science — is there still a need for a higher power? How does a belief in a god hold sway against scientific discoveries that oppose, almost by definition, the very foundations that inspired the initial beliefs? In this inaugural episode of Grey Hearted, we discuss this question on both sides of the aisle. We’re joined by an atheist who can’t be convinced there is a god , and a devout christian who can’t be convinced there isn’t a god – hosted by me, a semi-agnostic moderator. The good news is that this might be the most calm and respectful religious discussion from opposing viewpoints that you’ve ever heard.

In this inaugural episode, Mitcz Gets High with his close friend and fellow comedian Justin Rupple. The original aim of the episode was to just run through a quick story about having gone Speed Dating the previous night. However, because Mitcz was high, they ended up talking for almost 3 hours. Mitcz first begins with re-telling Justin about his first Speed Dating experience — which was for an episode of the trash-reality show “The Bad Girls Club”. After that, the main story begins. It’s been edited heavily to maximize amusement and hopefully not put you to sleep, running a mere 90 mins or so. This episode was originally recorded June 1st, 2012. On that fateful night, Justin had to call some place in Seattle EXACTLY at midnight to leave a voicemail so he and his fiancé (now wife) could hold their wedding in this special place. Thankfully, it all worked out for them and they were in fact married at that spot almost a year later. It was trippy to go from crackin’ dick jokes with a high and giggly Rupple to seeing him split-second change to “Business Rupple” for about 2 minutes while he left the world’s most professional voicemail. Way to go, Rups!

This is it, riffolonians. The FINAL episode in the epic saga that is and was Straight Riffin. Dwayne Perkins brought it hard, fast, loud and hilarious like only Dwayne could. We talked about success, the ridiculous chasm between platinum status between countries of the world, language barriers, Dwayne’s “CAKE” system (and Mitcz’s attempt to re-word some of the letters in the acronym), dating, touring, and so much more. We even play the absolute last game of Google Feud and you’ll never guess who wins! Stay subscribed so you can be updated as to what’s coming next.

Danielle Stewart started a riff within a few seconds of the intro and we rode that wave for almost 2 straight hours, before a record-breaking game of Google Feud. During the episode, we talked about the communicative gender divide, past loves, what makes a relationship work, how to talk to your partner, where people make mistakes in love, and so much more. This is a fantastic, nonstop escapade into interpersonal relationships and a riffin that’ll keep you on your toes.

Jackie Gold joins us for a solid riffin’ session in Ep106. We discuss her brief foray into the world of J-Date while explaining related sites, jewish culture, her jewish summer camp, and young Jackie’s diary entries. We also discuss strip clubs, young love, weed culture, pop-culture (and why it’s lost on Mitcz) and much more. Enjoy!

If you love pets (especially cats), you’re gonna LOVE this episode with returning guest Amy Witry. Closing out “All Women Everything”, we talk cats to an almost absurd degree. And we discuss dogs. And cuteness. Then weird pets. Then weird animals. Then the De-Extinction of animals. And Teddy’s desire to raise a Wolf Pack. And… just absurdity in general. Really, there’s no way to properly explain this episode but it’s a riot and you’re gonna love it. Also, we apologize for the crackling mics towards the end of the episode. We’re working on it, but it’s so rare it’s hard to lock down what it might be.

Reyna Amaya rolled in with her friend and YouTube cohort Lou Lou to riff along with us. A few minutes in, Mitcz invites Lou Lou to join in, and we have ourselves a raucous and fascinating 2-hour, 4-person riff session that will blow your mind and hurt your stomach from laughter. Enjoy, cause we sure as hell did.

Ohh it gets DEEP and FILTHY in the best way possible on this Riffin with Jade Catta-Preta. She holds nothing back, and everyone comes out of their shells a bit as we get into topics about dating, cheating, sex on the road, open relationships, the intricacies of oral sex, and SO much more. Much comedy discussion is thrown in as well, and nary a second goes by without some fast-paced Riffin’ madness.

In our first episode of our first month of women (“All Women Everything!”), Aarona Browning brings it hard, fast, loud and funny. We start out with a discussion of growing up, our respective childhoods, and some serious pop-culture (which is lost on Mitcz, of course). From there, we launch into a very detailed discussion of 90s R&B and various musical tastes of the respective panel members. We end on a brief discussion of Aarona’s recent marriage, and a discussion of the early contexts of relationships. This is a high-energy, nonstop riff – so enjoy!

We did it, baby! 100 g’damn episodes! The fantastic and hilarious Chris Williams riffed it out with us and brought the funk. Teddy’s old friend and Riffin #1 Superfan, Nicole, sat in and inspired us to have a lengthy convo about relationships, how to “court a lady” and more. From there, Chris regales us with tales about his trip to Thailand and enthralls Mitcz while horrifying Teddy. And… of course, some other crazy stuff happens.

The hilarious, bold Jeremy Scippio returns! And it’s quite a raucous event, kids. While discussing silly childhood games, Mitcz explains a knife fight he was in. Teddy defends John Travolta’s career. Jeremy and Teddy get into a series of verbal battles which are enlightening and enthralling. For some reason, there’s a lot of crackling mic noises about halfway through. We apologize, but It’s a helluva show other than that – enjoy!

The hilarious Guy Groves returns to riff along with us for Blackuary Blackriffin, and it’s an introspective and hilarious event. We discuss Guy’s unfortunate resemblance to a wanted man, being pulled over by the cops, explaining racial sensitivity to children, being a father, Muhammed Ali, DUI laws, driving while high, and so much more that it’s impossible to sum up this incredible episode in one paragraph. You’re gonna love it, so listen and enjoy.

It’s the kickoff to our 2013 season of Blackuary Blackriffin with the hilarious, energetic Quincy Jones. In his grand return to the Riffin, we start off with a bang and we don’t let up in this fast-paced ruckus through white people tropes, the “n word” debacle, struggle plates, and Quincy’s goal to do 1000 shows in a single year. After a brief technical issue, we tackle the news of a 23-year game of tag, musical condoms, a rude newscaster interruption and so much more. Enjoy!

Ohh this Riffin goes deep into Mitcz’s psyche, when Katie Page stops by and we organically discuss relationships, sex, breakups and drama. Lots of fun awkwardness and confessions here, and no news or links are discussed once the ball gets rolling. Prepare to look deep inside yourself and enjoy the fun!

Jumping out the gate with a raucous, in-depth discussion of the current state of Standup Comedy, Mitcz & Teddy sit with the hilarious Ben Gonzalez. We get deep into the game of the standup comedy mindset, common complaints, and the irresponsibility of hecklers and heckler apologists, and more. We also dive into a discussion of the NYT piece on the “End of Courtship” which we unanimously agree is full of B.S., and we end on a very disgusting invention for your stomach.

Josh “Peter Riffin” Waldron returns, as the Riffin also returns, in 2013. We start off fast and loose, with Josh flyin’ off the handle while Mitcz tries to work out the situation behind ignored text messages. We move on to racial discussions, and a sports discussion that becomes a celebrity-obsessed-culture discussion. In the news, we talk about the fate of the “ScarJo Hacker”, Kurzweil’s new position at Google, Jamie Kennedy’s embarrassing New Year’s Eve event and we end on a raucous round of Google Feud.

To welcome in 2013, Mitcz and Teddy did a brief 1-hour chat between just the two of ‘em, talking about New Year’s Eve frustrations, hopes for 2013, and a whole lotta whacky riffin’ on why Tom Waits should be the official vocalist of the auld lang syne song. Enjoy! We’re back again next week!

In this special bonus edition of Straight Riffin, Mitcz and Teddy are joined by Yassir Lester for a 90-minute discussion. In the first half, Yassir and Teddy try to explain various hip hop slang to Mitcz, while he argues about their correct usage. In the last half, we have a heated debate about the holidays, the meaning of christmas, and Mitcz’s plan for a “Restmas Holiday” for all.

Talk about goin’ out with a bang! Our last live riff of the year was a helluva show, folks. We cover everything from electric cars to conspiracy theories to opulence to modern-day comedy to sitcoms to the genius of Martin to rap music to, of course, Mitcz’s whiteness and ohh so much more. There’s literally so much going on in this episode it’s impossible to sum it up or describe it all. But, since we’re taking some time off for at least a week (or two) you’ll have plenty time to listen to it all and enjoy it to its fullest.

It’s a fabulous and hilarious Riffin this time around when Eric Hahn comes out to talk gay lifestyle, homophobia, oral sex, and more just in the first 10 minutes. Mitcz and Teddy discuss how gay they are as a percentage (and Teddy’s percentage grows over time). We discuss at some length the Kevin Clash (Elmo) sex scandals, growing up gay, and we bust into some news regarding vocabularies, explaining subjects to odd characters, the trend of a return to American manufacturing, and we all learn a thing or two about a thing or two.

Billy Bonnell does some massive riffin’ with us this time around. We start out discussing his Texan upbringings, his Navy career, his burgeoning comedy career and more. We compare NYC and LA comedy scenes, talk some smack about “the industry” and move on to news items like NYC’s crime rate, the declining birthrate, a Mike Tyson confession, the Top 10 Songs of the Year on Songify, and even… Google Feud!
