The Scope Returns to Zero Hour

April 22, 2010  |  Posted by: The Scope

Once again, Jared and Shane have seen fit to leave their stain on an episode of Zero Hour with John Norton. Hour 25 covers Ocarina of Rhyme, American Idol, The Coco and Lefty Show, Headlines, and TV Shows That Need To End. We also play a game called “Yahoo! Schmanswers”.

Episode 88: Even the Celestial Steed wonders when iAdam will propose

April 19, 2010  |  Posted by: The Scope

While your Scope hosts were busy sizing up their Depends undergarments and guzzling gallons of Ensure Vitamin drink, the “tweens” of the US of A went out and took over the pop culture landscape. We were out of touch, too busy watching “Murder She Wrote” reruns and listening to our Tiffany cassette tape to care.

But now, the Ignorance. Stops. Here.

Episode 88 brings a brand new bit, “What The Kids Are Into,” in which your Scope hosts dive into the latest teen trends. Yes, you’ll find out if the romantic vampire movement has “teeth,” and if Jared is now a Biebermaniac. It’s sure to make you feel thirteen all over again — even if that’s not a good thing.

We also take on the first legit comic movie of the year, Kick-Ass. And you know what that means: your Scope hosts do the entire show in green and yellow scuba suits, all the while pummeling each other with night sticks. Too bad we’re not filming this sucker…(foreshadowing?)

The Scope episode 88 thinks we’re alone now. There doesn’t seem to be anyone around.

Episode 87: Doin’ the Reverse Cowboy (aka The First Ever Scope Madness!)

April 5, 2010  |  Posted by: The Scope

After years of laziness, Scope music correspondent Al decided, on his own, to coordinate another “Scope Event.” Of course, you all know we’re talking about the inaugural edition of Scope Madness, the music geek version of some sort of post-secondary basketball tourney. We think.

Episode 87 features the final four (can we even use that phrase without the NCAA coming to sue our collective asses?) songs and spirited debate on the pros and cons of each tune. Yes, The Beatles may have come up in the conversation. Yes, Adam hated on them. Yes, Adam secretly wanted to replace The Beatles Madness song with his favorite song of all time, “Rico Suave” (expertly rapped by Gerardo.) Or was it “Informer” by Snow? It really doesn’t matter, does it?

And guess what? It’s the four year anniversary of The Scope. So the timing of the competition couldn’t be better.

Oh, yes it could. Because the aforementioned Al sat in on the show to help things out. And the gang got to talk about the sexy frosted tips of Guy Fieri.

So, it was a perfect show. Happy Anniversary, Scope!

The Scope episode #87 believes there isn’t a sexual position called “The Kings of Leon.” But maybe there should be.
