If you listen to us "making out" and enjoy it, you should be listening to Comic Book Queers and NOT us. #4 Carradine Chronic Insomnia scoops TMZ with exclusive footage of David Carradine's death in a bangkok hotel room. Forget the Eisner....give us the Pulitzer! #5 Conjugal Visit in the Halfway House A tear-jerking (well, something gets jerked) ode to having relations in the halfway house. And that's why we love comics! #6 J-Flow The only sponsor ridiculous enough to want to attach themselves to the world's most absurd comic book podcast! I can't even pitch this one without drawing the attention of the FCC, so just listen and enjoy. #7 Gunt Shaving Manatee Weight Loss 2009 was a huge deal this year. Probably rock bottom was this disgusting and unorthodox method of slimming some ounces off the Manatee of Podcasting. #8 Kennedy Trick-or-Treat Next stop on the Halloween tour was Kennedy's house.

Cory from Dallas introduced us to Assgard, and we've got exclusive footage of Thor's misadventures in this perilous realm! #14 Hulk visits the Enterprise Even the enthusiastically oral Sulu might be biting off more than he can chew when the Hulk shows up on the Starship Enterprise. Even I get grossed out by this one, folks, and I helped write and record the bloody thing... #15 Didio Interview Ryan's first Eisner nominated interview with DC bigwig Dan Didio. As usual, I get the dirt that nobody else in the industry can. And folks, Didio is a dirty, dirty, boy if this in-depth conversation is any indication. #16 Black Lantern Chronic Insomnia's spoilerific preview of this year's biggest blockbuster - can even the combined might of the Green Lantern corp defeat......the Rosy Palm??? #17 Kanye Wests Ruins Our Award You just can't take Kanye West anywhere!

And is Remy to blame for this debacle? #18 Sesame Street Bit It will come as no surprise to many of you about what REALLY goes inside Bert & Ernie's bedroom... #19 Christmas Miracle Hoo boy. What would happen if Trent Reznor and Warren Ellis got together and wrote a Christmas song? It would sound a lot like this, unfortunately. This one has more rape than most carols you're used to.... #20 Damon Interview Ryan interviews the "Lost" geek and finds out he's a freak and a jackass! #21 Never Gonna Spit You Out More romance, Chronic style. Some podcasts get headlining comic creators, but we get heavy hitters like Rick Astley on our show. We win. #22 Galactus Hey, John Galactus puts his skyscraper sized boots on one at a time just like the rest of us. Then he calls the cable company to get his reception fixed and gets hosed....just like the rest of us. #23 J-Flow Part Two Ernie and Bert help our sponsor demonstrate the mega-wad sack evacuator. It's good all around for everyone involved. #24 Dennis Twought - Smells Like Teen Spirit Only Dennis could work his frustrations with a transvestite into an ode to Kurt Cobain. Merry Christmas to everyone at The Flamingo Room! #25 WMD promo As soon as you're done listening to this, go to wheremonstersdwell.ca and listen to anything on the page, so you can see how these things are SUPPOSED to be done!

Mike brings up the golfing experience from last Tuesday and we figure out what Ryan actually shot. How great does Ryan think he is at Golf, well tune in to find out. Listen closely for smatterings of Star Trek throughout this weeks show. Also see if you can tell who's voice is nearly blown out by the end of this weeks episode.
