The first blow in the battle between English and German Ubers has been wrought and neither nation walks away whole.

 The Shaolin Cowboy returns, but nowhere in sight is there a dead Robin, any infinity gauntlets, or a single conquering Ultron—just flat-out action, intrigue, and plenty of roadkill.

In this episode, the boys welcome author/blogger and all-around cool guy, Lance Manion, to discuss National Have Sex with an Ugly Person Day, which lands on April 2nd, 2013. Lance discusses his approach to writing, guiding Pouch in the process, and the boys end it on a rousing edition of "One, True, Three." Check Lance out at http://www.lancemanion.com. Check out his book, The Ball Washer. Why not? It's free! Subscribe to us on iTunes HERE Pouch here. No, you didn't read that wrong. We are in fact releasing two brand-new episodes this week. Let me catch you up on the details. Author/blogger, all-around cool dude Lance Manion reached out to us to appear on an episode to promote himself as well as a holiday he's attempting to popularize, National Have Sex with an Ugly Person Day. (It's exactly what you think it is. He wants an extremely attractive person to have sex with an extremely ugly person, which means I might just get laid. The holiday is a semi-joke perpetuated from his self-admitted selfishness as well as a desire to point out the ironies in our superficial culture. It's a bit of a statement to stimulate discussion.) What we intended to do was have about 20-30 minutes with Lance and then add on a regular show with Jon, but the conversation was so much fun that we let  it run and it ended up being over 40 minutes long. With some of our episodes clocking in at about the same length, we said "fuck it," and decided to separate the two episodes and do something special for our 30th... which is technically our 30th and 31st. Otherwise, the episode would run about an hour and 45 minutes. We could have done a giant-sized issue, but we figured that would be demanding of your attention spans, so we conveniently split them up into two different episodes for your enjoyment. Check  Lance out at LanceManion.com. Check out the 76th Street Network for our pod and several other great pods as well. Please check us out on Facebook, Twitter, Email, and leave a review on iTunes.

In this episode, we bring in Steve of Atom Phly Media and designer of the Dropping Loads logo to discuss his fixation of doodling the mighty phallus and the inspiration behind our incredible logo, play a round of "One, True, Three" for Loads of FUN, and determine how kinky the boys can get.Subscribe to us on iTunes HERE Pouch here. Let's get this out of the way, Happy Mother's Day! Now go and secure your love for your mother with expensive gifts. Why not celebrate it by listening to a new episode of Dropping Loads?! This episode is slightly shorter than the others because it's our attempt at stalling until the big one-zero, but still wanting to consistently release new material for all of our fans. All four of you. Apologies for the annoying feedback as some of our equipment for our guests are not quite up to par, yet. As usual, please check us on Facebook or Twitter, Email, and leave a review for us on iTunes. Intro/Outro Steel Panther: - If You Really Really Love Me  Sponsors and Friends Atom Phly Media   Captain Cock Loads of FUN: One, True, Three Courtesy of Walter Flanagan of Tell 'Em, Steve-Dave Shit We Mentioned  Piss Dungeon For more details on the topics discussed in this episode, visit the official Dropping Loads Blog.

In this episode, a new edition of Get a Load of This, special guest Langston enlightens us on one of the more misunderstood parts of gay culture, and a new game is played for Loads of FUN that helps us get to know Langston more than we really wanted. Hey, guys. Ponch here... again. This week's episode is a bit of a doozey. Considering all the sex we talk about on the pod, we came to a decision that we should encompass all types of sex. Sooo, I guess it was time for a gay episode... Here at Milky Way Studios, we're a pretty open and tolerant group of guys (most of us, at least), that's why we invited one of my close friends to guest and to help not disassociate the gay crowd and maybe shed some light for those uninitiated. And damn, the loads are dropped in an entirely foreign place for us.

Harvey is placed on special assignment to track down the informant, but others have their own designs, including a wealthy socialite and an ex-con turned religious leader known to his followers as The Prophet. As days pass and anger among the anti-surrogate population grows, the city stands on a razor’s edge. Will punishment be exacted in a courtroom or on the streets?
