Cort and Fatboy

The venn diagram of friendships at Portland, when given more than 6 months, tends to shrink to the size of a dime. That phenomenon is one of the subjects of conversation with Mike Russell, along with his resurrected germophobia, thanks to the film Contagion. Other topics include - the sad plight of...

Jefferson Smith announced he was running for Mayor of Portland yesterday. Today he's on the show. This is no small feat, considering he was working so hard on his campaign that he forgot to take his contacts out, they fused to his cornea, and he damn near tore his eyes off removing them. But he's no...

Another dose of that good old fashioned "real talk" is served up on today's show, courtesy David Walker, of course, who always gets down to the grittiest of nittys whenever any subject comes up, and today's subject involves artificiality, and its uses as both a means to grow an audience, and a priso...

Anno Superstar drops in to lend a little overseas flavor, luckily Aaron Duran's questionable judgment as her ward didn't completely incapacitate her: What it's like getting off a plane and immediately being thrown into a living room filled with drunk pirates is explained, as is the daily routine of...

It is a day more celebrated than New Phone Book Day - Mike Russell finally returns to the show, and he's brought Bon Vivant Becky Ohlsen in with him. Becky's been in Sweden, you see, fistfighting trolls, avoiding death metal bands and writing travelogues. Mike has been running down mountains and Cor...

Typically, Thursdays are a boat full of WTF sailing down a river towards the Heart of Darkness, but today, its more like a leisurely float down a babbling brook of benign wonder - Byron Beck gets into some minor sexual confusion yet again, but spends a lot of his time talking about the Fall TV Sched...

The heat has gotten to our heroes today, but not in any really crazy way. Maybe a partially crazy way - you don't end up discussing spontaneously combusting pugs and making Sophie's Choice with an Air-Conditioner without being a little loopy, and you DEFINITELY don't legitimately consider the talc a...

It's the conversational equivalent of "Brave & the Bold" when David Walker and Ryan Fleming team up yet again, but the conversation isn't necessarily heroic. Jellyfish attacks, the Canadian Poutine Mills and Vancouver's strange floating feet problem all get brought up in the 1st 20 minutes, onl...

There's no guest. Aliens in London took Mike Russell away from the show, and as such, the Lords of Meh have to fill an hour all by themselves, with no notes, no movies to review, but definitely no lack of topics. Specifically, there's about 4: 1) Why not reboot Star Wars? Fatboy takes on the entiret...

S is for September, and Schadenfruede, and Sexual confusion du jour, because Byron Beck and Big Jim are on, and Jim has fistfuls of failure to lay out for Cort's satisfaction - go behind the scenes of his audition for Live Wire, and walk step by step through the ordeal as a good man catches himself...
