This Is Rad!

Hit me baby one more time! Kyle and Matthew sit down with comedy duo The Martin Duprass (Jeremy Martin and Lauren Thomas-Martin) to talk about their favorite pop stars: Kesha, Tay-Tay, Xtina, Katy P. and Britney, bitch. For a topic so bubblegum, it gets pretty deep. Learn how Miley Cyrus helped Lauren stop drinking and hear everyone have an on-air quarter-life crisis. Mmm...bop.

Dar si siht ot emoclew! In this damn fine episode, Kyle and Matthew sit down with Paul Cibis (comedian!) and Ben Waters (L.A. Foodie podcast!) to discuss the brilliant and weird world of David Lynch. From the infuriating Inland Empire to the horror of Eraserhead to the divisiveness of Wild at Heart and scummy Bobby Peru, no film is left unturned. Other topics include the ups and downs of Laura Palmer, Twin Peaks and the "James Hurley Adventures," Transcendental Meditation, Muppet Babies, and a box of electric bees!

Will you go to the dance with me? In this Valentine's Day hostful, Kyle, Matthew and Producer Natalie sit down to talk about the trials and tribulations of school dances. They discuss hiding your boner during a slow dance and when your blossoming boobs wither in a strapless sparkle dress. Also, Kyle and Matthew defend juggalos. Like, a lot. Warning: This episode deals a heaping dose of honesty, so get ready!

Welcome back for part two! (If you haven't listened to part one, please check out that episode first.) In part deux, the rad gang plays the negotiation board game "Chinatown" with guests Brent Weinbach, Andrew Michaan and Trevor Ames. In the process, they learn a lot about each other - mostly how much Andrew likes Tender Greens. They also give good recommendations for beginners if you're looking to dip your toe into the board game waters.
