“JUMPING GEEHOSEPHATS! This month’s podcast will send you into orbit! The snark-casters of the EPC have out done themselves this time. They’ve reached the outer limits of their particular brand of out-of-this-world hijinks. First they talk about the planet’s first Nerdlesque Festival before diving into the depths with Aquaman. Then Schaffer does an epic orbital drop of his brand new free single “Rawr” with an “A” AND a “B” side. Then Charles Stunning has stars in her eyes as she shares tales of Mama Stunning’s trip to the Big Apple. All of that though is just the countdown to Mark Robert Turner’s land fall as he lays waste to the beautiful and spacious Studio 6C and has all of us dying of laughter. Why can’t Nelson pronounce the word – meteorological? How long does Charles’ telescope get? Is the podcast moving to New Jersey?!? All of this and more is covered in this totally shenanigan filled show!”Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and o

March roars in like a lion and out like a honey badger.

Then Lugo and Schaffer turn their attentions to love and romance as they answer listeners’ questions with highly suspect and definitely questionable advice. What’s Lugo’s safe word? How do you ruin Schaffer’s eye makeup? What the hell is a “monkey fist?!” Then in the third segment the boys are treated to the company and charm of Charles Stunning.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way – in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.Learn more about your ad choices.
