Ep XXXVII: Podcast Harder

Get into the Zone!  The Deucecast Zone!   That's right... its another week, and another episode in the can.  The Deucecast Episode XXXVII: Podcast Harder! 

We welcome back Hurricane Rhett and SuperFan Drew into the studio this week, as we kick things off with, finally, a good tasting of a decent beverage.  The Pop Shoppe lets us try a little cola, a little black cherry, a little orange and a little grape, and for once, its not too bad.

Mikey regales us with his troubles with Firestone Tire, d$ tells of the incompetance of some Best Buy workers, Rhett spills on his love of Mango Strawberry Fruitista and the problem getting them, and both Rhett and d$ share a common Ruby Tuesday's story.

(and yes, I use the company names... hey Firestone, Best Buy, Taco Bell and Ruby Tuesday's--want me to not use your company name?  Have better service.) 

Steve Guttenberg gets his proper due on this episode of The Deucecast

Mike goes rock with his music minute, taking on The Black Keys, while Rhett's Rhantt's brings us some complaining of a political nature, plus a great discussion about the book and movie "Freakonomics". 
A few rounds of The Movie Game, first with SuperFan Drew and then without, leads us to The Big Three... Our Top Three Coolest Movies We've Ever Seen, including films with Eastwood... McQueen... Clooney... Travolta... Denzel... Burgundy... and The Dude.  Who Abides.

More Star Wars news... Grey's Anatomy/McDreamy updates... some Van Der Beek news (my homie)... Riddick, Akira, McCallum and... The Gute. 

Join us next week for Part One of a special Four Part Series, with d$ bringing you The Top Twenty Saddest Songs Ever...

Episode XXXIII: The Podcast Voyage Home

If you think three's a crowd... well... we still have three.  Matty has left us, at least for now, to pursue other ventures in the multi-media atmosphere, but that still leaves d$ and Mikey, and joining us this week, Hurricane Rhett.

 

Right off the bat, we dive straight into such diverse and controversial topics as... Fall FestivAle Beer fest... taking the dog to the groomer... take the car to the Firestone... taking the tornadoes to Auburn... and taking the Hurricane Rhett to the Taco Bell.

 

A spirited Taco Bell and/or customer service discussion ensues, as we also riff on Cracker Barrel... the renassaince of AMC... the NBA Lockout... via voicemail, Matt reviews "The Immortals"... the gall of Enos and Sonny Schroyer... and Rhett dives in deep to rant about horrible Birthday Music at random Asian places.

 

Ever notice how adding an off-center porn 'stache and a crappily applied
fake soul patch makes a great Evil Twin?

The Big Three opens up a great round-robin talk about theme music, past their prime actors and our topic, TV We Loved as a Kid But Just Don't Hold Up Now... shows like Airwolf... ALF... The Fall Guy... Superfriends and Al Bundy all get the Deucecast Treatment.

 

And lest we forget... Captain Kirk vs. Princess Leia.

 

And for the first time last time ever... The Situation Watch.

Catch up on The Deucecast next week as we take the holidays off and give you an Encore Presentation of one of our favorite past shows... and join us in TWO WEEKS when Dr. Earl comes back for another edition of Dying With Dr. Earl... we'll talk about Movies that Defined Our Childhoods... d$ will begin The Countdown.. and Mikey has more crappy awesome music!  That's on The Deucecast Ep XXXIV: The Undiscovered Podcast.
