Ep. 23 – Dick, Ass and Ebola

This one is a doozy. If you like dicks and ass and potential pandemics, this is an episode for you! In this one we talk about:

– Brendan’s adventures beyond the Orange Curtain for DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist spinning Afrika Bambaataa records.
– Jimmy’s graphic (and very long-winded) experience with bad sex and typographical errors on tattoos.
– Wolf Dicks, our Law and Order: SVU segment!
– We reveal the philosophy of our podcast.
– Dodgers bummer of a game and other baseball playoffs news.

Afrika Bambaataa’s “Dark Matter” opens the podcast, and SWV’s “Weak” closes it. You can also hear a lot of the Law and Order: SVU theme song.

Ep. 22 – Untitled for the Best

Better late than never some people would suppose. It’s debatable if they ever listened to this podcast. It’s a special weekday episode of the B&J Podcast, and that just means we rushed through things on Skype. We talked about:

– The umbrella revolution going on in Hong Kong and that Rihanna is not involved with it. Ella. Ella. Ella.
– Brendan’s 35th birthday.
– No Wolf Dick’s segment, Law and Order SVU game Brendan wants to do. But we talk about Mariska Hargitay’s mom and how she allegedly boned Anton LaVey.
– Jimmy’s crap baseball predictions.
– The Breeders and their shit show a couple of weeks ago.
– Running play by play of the A’s-Royals Wild Card game.

The songs featured in this episode were Siouxsie and the Banshees’ “Hong Kong Garden” and Keisza’s cover of Haddaway’s dance hit classic “What Is Love”.

Ep. 20 – Despite All My Rage I Am Still Just a Low-Level Mage

Brendan is back from vacation, and we are trying to use that to distract all the rage that this week has left us. We really tried to avoid these subjects, but they inevitably creeped into the conversation. The music played was Pizzicato Five’s “Happy Sad” and Annie’s “Heartbeat”. We talked about:

Ep. 18 – Let’s Hangout!

We here at The B&J Podcast have taken a leap in the 2010s. For the first time Brendan and Jimmy were separated by 30 miles while recording this podcast via Google Hangout. It’s surprising it’s taken 18 podcasts, but finally they’ve broken. They just can’t stand the sight of one another anymore.

The Simpsons marathon on FXX

Ep. 17 – Comedy of Errors

It was a shitty week with the events in Ferguson, MO, Robin Williams, Lauren Bacall and everything else. We really tried to steer clear of fanning the flames of fury.

B&J Podcast Ep. 15 – The Fuck the NFL, ESPN and Hemorrhoids Episode

There are a lot of fuck ups in this episode. For one, I refer to this as our 14th episode in the opening. Oops. Then later on we talk about the MLB All Star Game that ended in a tie. I mistakenly referred to it as having occurred in 2003 at PNC Park in Pittsburgh ending in the 14th inning. It actually happened in 2002 at Miller Park in Milwaukee and ended in the 11th inning. Sorry.

The podcast opened with Bikini Kill’s “Rebel Girl” and ends with Fifth Column’s “All Women Are Bitches”. We talked about:

* The NFL’s laughable punishment to Ray Rice for knocking out his fiance-cum-wife earlier this year.
* ESPN, and more specifically Stephen A. Smith’s, victim blaming.
* WEEI and their misogynist remarks about Erin Andrews.
* A lot of me just so apoplectic beyond words.
* My hemmorhoid.
* Me filming myself masturbating.
* Kinks we can’t handle.
* Bruce La Bruce.

B&J Podcast Ep. 14 – The Sober Podcast

Brendan and Jimmy

Both Brendan and I decided to experiment with this podcast: for the first time we did this sober. He was doing it out of sheer laziness. I was doing it because I was feeling a little something in my sinus that could portend to an illness or something like that. Nevertheless onward we trucked.

The podcast opens with Arab on Radar’s “Semen on the Mount” and ends with Ex-Model’s “Pink Noise”. Among the topics we discuss:

* Early-aughts no-wave revival
* Fake foreskin and fake smegma?
* Mating habits of the heterosexual
* Aaron Sorkin two-word reviews
* My left foot (with blood!!!)
* The B&J Podcast Book Review
* We mourn Antonia’s poor decision four years ago for marrying Matthew
