Episode 98: Rock Band, Octopus Heads, And A Naughty Little QB (aka The “Tommy Can You Hear Me?” Edition)

October 26, 2010  |  Posted by: The Scope

Yes, we know. The Rock Band 3 pining by Scope host Shane has grown tiresome. Luckily, it all comes to a head this week as Rock Band 3 is *FINALLY!!!!!* (emphasis inserted by Shane) released and in stores everywhere.

To celebrate this event (second in importance only to Mikhail Gorbachev’s visit to Minneapolis in 1990) your Scope Show was lucky enough to land one of the biggest Rock Band know-it-alls out there: Rockbandaide’s Tommy. This rhythm game expert raps about rock, band, 3, rhythm, games, and how awesome the Green Bay Packers are.

And if that wasn’t enough, The Kings of Leon really wanted to have another review from their favorite podcast, so they made a brand new album for The Scope to critique!  Will Caleb and Co. be completely happy with what Jared, Shane, and music correspondent Al have to say about it? (Hint: it rhymes with “snope,” “snow sway,” and “not a chance.”) Is their most-favored band status is in danger?

Time will tell. Time. Will. Tell.

The Scope episode #98 commits to using the orange button on the plastic guitar but can’t promise anything when it comes to the vocal harmonies.

Episode 97: Broccoli Rob Vs. The Catfish In The Corner (and Dengue Fever, too)

October 10, 2010  |  Posted by: The Scope

Here we go again. Even though the masses cry,”Uncle!” your Scope crew rolls on with yet another episode. At least Adam had the decency to skip out…again. Luckily, the busiest man in podcasting, John “Nort Nort” Norton was kind enough to fill the third spot on the show.

#97 spends a lot of time on the inadequacies of Minnesota sports teams (with great emphasis on the hapless Twins), and even more time discussing the multitudes of pop culture assaulting our brains this fall. Yes, that means more TV, music, and movie talk. It ain’t original, but we’ve made a living off of it the past five years. (If a living is $45.32.)

Finally, Shane won the First-Show-Canceled Contest. Again. Thanks, “My Generation.” You didn’t let him down.

The Scope episode 97 won’t stand so close to you. Unless you use Polo cologne. Growl.
