Episode 93: The Afterglow with Rants & Raves, Verbal Punctuation, and Valification

June 28, 2010  |  Posted by: The Scope

This episode of The Scope is kind of like the moments immediately after a tremendous night of passion. It’s all good, but not as good as the time right before you are lying in bed, spent. (Or that’s what we imagine it would be like…since we’re nerds and obviously not all that well-versed in the world of night passion.)

See, we’re coming off of two excellent episodes of your favorite podcast. We’re talking about shows great guests, fun games, and mucho effort. So with #93, it was time to reload, relax, and get back to basics. That means A LOT of talking. And since we’re clearly experts in the world of deep-sea oil drilling and ocean currents, we focused our time on the tragedy in the Gulf of Mexico.

To balance out the seriousness of it all, we also rap about a couple of summer movies and we start to help Adam pick a wedding date. He really should get a tux with ruffles, right? And with all, you’d expect the show to be brief. If you think that, you clearly haven’t been listening all that long. Shame on you.

The Scope episode 93 doesn’t pity the fool, but it does fool the pity. Quit your jibba jabba.

Episode 92: Let’s Talk About Crap, Baby (and Then Some Stuff Happened)

June 16, 2010  |  Posted by: The Scope

What do you get when you take the already long-winded, critically-acclaimed podcast known as “The Scope” and mix it with Ron Gerber, host of the greatest pop music radio program in the country, “Crap From The Past?”

Answer: the longest and most important Scope episode ever. EVER. (What’s hyperbole, anyway?)

Seriously, your Scope hosts pulled out all the stops on this one. Tons of prep work, tons of sound clips and effects, and tons of overall effort.

And then Adam did the news.

Still, Ron was cool enough to stick through the entire 2 1/2+ hours of blabbering. That means, for you, the loyal Scope listener, tons of radio insider goodness, more talk about top 40 radio hits than you can shake a stick at, and even a great story connecting Ron to a notable late-night talk show host. (No, we’re not talking about that big-jawed Jay Leno, thank God.) And did we mention a brief return of “Hit The Post?” If you make it to hour ten of episode #92, you can experience it.

Finally, we try, with varying degrees of success, to put the whole Human Centipede business behind us. Pun intended.

The Scope episode 92 knows that “Boogiemonster” is the only acceptable moniker for Ron Gerber.
