This week on the show, Kyle and Matthew welcome comedian and radio DJ Jake Dill. Jake is one of Kyle's longest running friends in comedy and this episode is the first time Kyle has ever heard him talk about his love of Magic: The Gathering. He explains his experiences in the world of Magic, along with his story of how he got into the game and what it is about the game that keeps him coming back. Laura pops in to share her experiences and her and Jake throw down as Matt and Kyle politely have no idea what is happening. This one is super fun and feels like a real celebration of the long running collectable card game. So put your deck together and prepare for a grand ride through the world of one of the most popular trading card games.

Okay... so hear us out. You're thinking to yourself, “hmm, that title sounds familiar but I'm not sure from where...” Let's get a couple of things straight. Yes, that is the title of domestic terrorist Ted Kaczynski's manifesto. No, this is not an episode supporting the violent actions of anyone. But, This Is Rad, what is this episode then? When we ask guests what they want to talk about, it's often something like “I really love jackets” and we talk about jackets (hmm... we should do a jacket episode when it starts getting chilly again...) In this case, Kyle's longtime friend Jason Van Glass proposed an interesting experiment for the show. Believe it or not, both Kyle and Matthew had their worries going into this episode. What resulted what a great and thought provoking episode about ideology, technological advancement, human societal structures, anarchism, and about a million other high concept ideas. After so much worry this turned out to be one of the most interesting episodes we have done in a while. If you dug the Invisibles episodes, this episode definitely pairs nicely with that one. Thanks to Jason for throwing us a fascinating curve ball and a great episode!

WARNING: This episode deals with some dark subject matter due in part to the nature of the artist we are discussing. Also, darkness is something that just kinda happens when you get Kyle, Keith, and Nicole together. So if you're not feeling up to it, we still love you and we'll see you next week. <3

 

Today Kyle and Matthew are joined by podcast favorites Nicole Becannon and Keith Carey for a discussion of Eminem. They take a look at his long and storied career and use it as a way to look at how the music industry as a whole has evolved over the last twenty years. Yeah, that's right, twenty years. You feel that? That's the terrifying feeling of age my friend. But don't think about that. Think about bleached hair and baggy jeans. And songs about murder fantasies. And also songs about feeling bad about yourself. Plus there are some pretty wild tangents. This one is a lot of fun. Please enjoy whole sections of episode where we all just end up laughing for extended periods. Not for the faint of heart but if you're feeling bold, come get silly with us.

This week on the show Kyle and Matthew are joined by Cecilia Gardner and her boyfriend Steven Hanus for a whirlwind adventure around the globe. Besides being an amazing photographer/musician/human Cecilia has traveled here and abroad and vlogged the highlights of her journey. The group talk about some of their favorite places to travel. There's a pretty fun tangent about sky diving. Also, things get heated when discussing theme parks with the best roller coasters. This episode is sheer delight and hopefully we give you the itch to pack a bag and head out for parts unknown.
