Throwing Shade #66: Gay Starbucks & Anti-Rape Face

| 0 comments

Articulate your face, girl! This week, Erin covers the anti-rape face meme spawned by one college’s drug and alcohol counselor who should totally keep her job. And Bryan brings us the story of a New York pastor who’s trying to have it all--all the nut job homophobic conspiracy theories, at least. (Speaking of nut jobs, he thinks there’s semen in Starbucks drinks!) Plus, we’re doing farmer’s markets, hormonal cycles, Tina Turner, and condragulations to Loretta Lynn, the next attorney general of these United States!

Song Exploder No. 22: The Books

Song Exploder

Before The Books broke up, they released four albums that combined composed music and found sounds. In this episode, Nick Zammuto explains how he crafted the song Smells Like Content, off of their 2005 album Lost and Safe, out of unlikely sources, like geometry, chance encounters, and a corrugated PVC pipe.

This video demonstrates how Nick Zammuto creates rhythms within the locked groove of a vinyl record:

Buy "Smells Like Content" on iTunes.

After The Books ended, Nick Zammuto started a solo project, called Zammuto. Check out the new Zammuto record, Anchor.

Judge John Hodgman Special

Bullseye

This week Bullseye with Jesse Thorn breaks format to bring you something from another great show on the Maximum Fun Network.


Judge John Hodgman

If you know John Hodgman , it's probably as The Deranged Millionaire on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, or maybe from his books of world knowledge. Or, maybe, as the PC from the Mac vs. PC ads. What you might not know is that he's also a fake judge on the internet.

On Judge John Hodgman, he hears disputes from real people all over the world via Skype and tells them who's right and who's wrong. Jesse Thorn is the bailiff. The two cases you’ll be hearing are slightly truncated versions. If you want to hear the full versions and see the supporting evidence, click below.

The Right to Remain Silent

Chris wants his daughter, Sophie to get over her shyness and show more confidence in uncomfortable social situations. Sophie believes in making progress in her own way and doesn’t need any pushing from her dad. Eugene Mirman made a special appearance on this case to help weigh in on the dispute.

My Legal Pony

Nancy brings the case against her friend Becky. They are both veterinarians. Nancy lives out in the country, and owns a herd of Shetland ponies. She says the ponies act as ponies do and are perfectly fine just as they are. Becky says Nancy’s ponies are ill-mannered. Who’s right? Who’s wrong? Only one man can decide.

If you liked what you heard today, there are over 180 episodes of Judge John Hodgman ready and waiting for you, and a new one added each week!
