54 | OUTER FREAKING SPACE
Apr 8, 2016Tap to summarizeOk, so, how this week's podcast works is that you have three actions points, and listening to any one ad or segment costs one point, so you can only listen to a few of them on your turn. One of the segments is about action points, the other is about liquor and weed, and the ads are for space men and wizards. I have a dollar; Johannes is made of old soap and doesn't read what I write here. Tom is dumb and doesn't check back on these after he writes them. Your plan? Intro gag: Comin' to ya' live from a place in France, I'm Tom Rich and with me as always are completely intact walls and disappointment, and this is the Mildly Alarming Podcast. Episode a Million: Lyle has two mommies, three daddies, an uncle, and a dog. Slippery slope my ass... ##Segment 1: Action Point Allowance Systems Episode Sponsor: Valitar Krambuthax, Ambassador of the Nebulons ##Segment 2: Booze 'n the News Facebook bans users from promoting posts with the word "Scunthorpe" in them Kasich defends eating pizza with fork Radioactive wild boar roaming Fukushima countryside Longtime marijuana use may make you a loser Touching robots can arouse humans Snoop Dogg launches nature show Outro Gag: Incantrathubacazdrathorn’s Golemry Music in this episode: "Angevin" by Kevin McLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons By Attribution 3.0
