Kyle and Matthew are joined one more time by one of our longest running regular guests Jeremy Scippio (@jeremycomedy). We have enjoyed being the mouthpiece for Jeremy's takes on the comic book world and our final episode does not disappoint. The boys look the MCU's place in 2025. A little worse for wear but in an interesting place. We'll give you that take in the episode notes because mostly Kyle and Jeremy fight about some dumb stuff about Spider-Man. Like, Jeremy takes a call, we come back, like 30 minutes goes by and then they get into it again. Don't worry, Burnside is riding along with...

This week the boys set sail for a final voyage with one of our favorite guests, the one and only Lisa Curry. We chat about Lisa’s unique arc on the show, from boat enthusiast to ship’s captain to one of the queens of summer, she’s been a very fun member of the TIR universe.

Kyle and Matthew sit down for an after the episode intro. Don't think to hard about it. Matthew reviews he and Laura's recent trip to the Just Like Heaven festival. Laura finally got to see Rilo Kiley live! Vampire Weekend did a suite of super lame covers. This leads to chatting about watching bands phone a set it in. Kyle's almost done with the second issue of Huzzah! and has been watching a lot of vintage cartoons.

Oh boy folks, we've got a barn burner this week. Grant Bubar returns and is freed from the shackles of talking about music to talk about one of his true passions, the Mass Effect universe. He's got pages of notes folks. But wait, that's not all! Due to a series of unfortnuate events, Matthew was unable to make it to the IRL record. So, we're gonna do an additional episode later this week. That's right, this ep is four hours and it's not even a full episode. A shocking amount stays on task but there are also some real good bros talking about feelings around the three hour mark. But truly, they...
info_outlineThis podcast was 98 pounds of solid rad until it became... The Toxic Rad-venger! This week Radtober comes to a close for another year with a visit from director/podcaster/fart enthusiast Joe Lynch! The guys have a nice chat about where is the best place in Disneyland to let out farts. They also talk about extreme cinema and the type of person that chases movies that give you a visceral reaction. Yet again, like the Ghosts of the Comedy Store episode marvel as both Kyle and Matthew lean back and let an expert storyteller regal the boys with some insane stories. Troma is one of the longest running indie film company in America and has created and distributed some of the most insane movies ever made. Joe got a front row seat to experience the second wave of Troma's success in the mid to late 90's and man does he have some incredible stories. If you've ever wanted to hear a story about a guy walking in the snow covered in puke wearing a Toxic Avenger costume you have come to the right place. Check out Joe's new movie “Mayhem” starring The Walking Dead's Stephen Yeun out in theaters and on VOD November 10th!
