Episode 120: Who’s The Boss?

February 20, 2012  |  Posted by: The Scope

After an exceptionally short two weeks, your Scope crew is back with another edition awesome enough to melt your face. But we may be a little biased.

At any rate, “Would You Rather,” the morality-based game that nearly destroyed The Scope many moons ago returns with a vengeance. Unfortunately, it delves into a debate about certain body functions entirely too quickly. Still, the guys rectify that with a bit of vampire AND zombie talk. Yin and yang, right?

Also, Jared, Adam, and Shane take a look at ABC’s new television program, The River. No, it is not a found footage show about high-stakes poker. But wouldn’t that be sort of mint?

And finally, because it’s right around the corner, the guys chat up The Oscars…and more specifically, the Best Picture Noms. Fun fact: only portly Jonah Hill gets any Oscar attention from The Scope. As it should be.

The Scope Episode 120, at the end of the day, isn’t all that impressed by the concept of chocolate-scented flatus.

Episode 119: The ¡Rob! Configuration

February 6, 2012  |  Posted by: The Scope

In the latest edition of The Scope, your favorite podcast goes totally Latino, or at least they talk a lot about Cheech Marin (how’s that pronounced again?) and Rob “Makin’ Copies” Schneider’s “hit” CBS sitcom. And, out of principle, we will not offer a link to its website.

Pinata talk wasn’t the only subject of the day, however. A brand new bit entitled “Late the Party” makes its way onto the broadcast. Tune in to hear what past pop-culture gems finally caught the attentions of Jared, Adam, and Shane. It’s probably a lock that superstar Hillary Duff ‘s second album makes the cut.

And finally (as if this wasn’t enough) the guys talk football. More specifically, The Super Bowl.  And even more specifically than that, Super Bowl predictions. So here they are:

Adam: Patriots, 27-17
Jared: Patriots, 24-17
Shane: Patriots, 31-20

As you can see, The Scope, like the Patriots, were unsuccessful in their football endeavors. Maybe next time, ladies.

The Scope episode 119 probably should give drunk cooking a shot.

Episode 118: A Timely Look Back At The Year That Was 2011 (And Did We Mention That the Vikes Beat The Skins?)

January 9, 2012  |  Posted by: The Scope

Your Scope returns for 2012! And what better way to start the new year than to look back at the old year. So that’s what Jared and Shane did. Yes, Adam wasn’t on the first new show of 2012. He was off fighting the vampire horde threatening to destroy the Earth. We’re in good hands with Adam leading the charge. Aim for the heart, Adam!

While Adam was battling the supernatural, Jared and Shane discussed all of the important events of the past year. And, because this is a pop culture show, they picked some of their favorite movies, music, TV, and video games of 2012, too. That sort of stuff seems to work well on this podcast, no? Scope music reporter Al also gets in on the act without ever appearing on this episode. How does he do it? Well, tune in and find out.

Finally, the guys talked a bit of football and “pro” wrestling. It was, by far, the “macho-est” part of the program. (Yes, that was a play on words. Look it up.)

The Scope episode 118 is watching you through the videoscope and it definitely doesn’t have a crooked mustache.
