For the first, we go to Austria to speak with Gordo and Walter the creators of the Web 2.0 Suicide machine, who give us an update on when and how they’ll break through Facebook’s attempt to block them.

Then Art has a few words for the haters who think it’s pointless telling everyone you’re wearing a leopard skin bra as a way to raise awareness of breast cancer.

Crashboy tells us how to win a fistfight, drive a stick, and a few more of the 50 things everyone should know how to do.

Fortunately “Fight off an attacking shark” is no longer one of them since scientists are now getting sharks to text them when they come too close to shore.

We also discuss the quick appearance and disappearance of the trailer for The A-Team, and why Crashboy spent most of his summers in a rural hippie love cult.  And if you think we made it through an entire episode without linking sex and Star Wars… think again.

Plus, Ask Art, Uncle Leo, and a preview or our upcoming special Live on Location episode!

Nerds have ruined Monty Python.

I have an open WiFi network and I'm proud of it. Y'know what people say when I tell them that? "Aren'tcha worried about people downloadin' child porn?" Dude, I can't get a WiFi signal from one floor to another... some creepy guy would have to literally be sitting on my front porch.

I love it when an ensemble cast comes together.

]]> pythonIn this episode, we discover “Halderman” is a really good scandal name. Art wonders whether Liam Neeson’s gravitas is enough to help the new A-Team movie. He also just enjoys using the word “gravitas.” Crashboy doesn’t feel the need to protect his wifi feed… his sweet, sweet wifi feed. The reason your mom told you not too eat too much candy is so you wouldn’t end up in Pelican Bay with a white power cellmate named “Kansas.” Are you a little bit scared of Windows 7? You’re not alone. And you have no idea what bukakke is do you? No… of course you don’t.

And it’s Monty Python’s 40th anniversary. But you knew that already.
