Born in the Eighties
 

Jon and Adam finish up the holiday podcast extravaganza with the final installment in the Santa Clause trilogy "Santa Clause 3, the Escape Clause".  Which is a title that deserves mentioning as it is the only movie title I can think of where the pun in part of the name is used not as a pun later in the same title.  I sure hope the movie isn't as oddly bad as the title....

Jon and Adam decree that chinese food will never be eaten before podcasting.  Dragon female chest parts are discussed, and Adam has quite the eye-opening experience.  Skyrim is a land of murder, cat furries, and horrible actions and David Caruso magic CSI. A new segment "This Week in Werewolf News" debuts.  Adam regales Jon with the tales of Wisconsin werewolf sightings! Scary!  Jon proposes a trip to find the Beast of Bray Road, and Adam continues to be a shut in.

Jon and Adam fumble through trying to make some title sequences and promos.  The accents and impressions are at an all time high/low depending on your perspective.  Talk then moves to how little people do not mix well with apes, and how Penn Jillette solved his birthday party dilemma. (Hint, it involves knives)   The clown brotherhood is extremely racist, apparently.  Adam and Jon talk about their favorite pagan holiday traditions, and say some odd stuff.  Thanks for listening, and have a kick ass thanksgiving!

Matt Haag joins the gang for this episode of Born in the Eighties, to talk about stuff... Matt is doing the music for a local show!  We listen to it!  Jon spends most of the podcast unwittingly ripping on Matt.  Adam pays for Chinese food with a Kung Fu DVD.  Beers from around the world are consumed, and a good time is had by all.  All Music in the episode by Matt Haag. Buckle up, this is a long one....

Jon and Adam reconvene after the horrific fright fest that was the first annual spookening.  Topics range from how terrible Boo radley is at playing apples to apples, good space pilot names, old hanna barbara cartoons, how top cat might have had something to do 9/11, and how terrible Scrappy Doo was.  Dark Jon appears and makes Scooby Doo into a real horror show.  Silky J grew up on the streets.  Jon tells the tale of how he got kicked off of his 4th grade field trip.  Then, things get serious for a bit.  This is a weird one.

In this week's born in the eighties, a spooktacular appears!  Jon and Adam discuss their greatest fears, talk shop about the scariest of the famous hollywood monsters.  Jon uncovers a deep secret about Dracula's potato vodka distillin' ways, and Adam stocks up on boxes of Boo-berry.   A spooky bris happens in the apartment, with many Matz0-golems in attendance.   R.A. Salvatore is a dracula, and once was roommates with the pope.  The guys hatch a plan for world domination by going back in time and investing wisely, until Jon betrays Adam!  To wrap things up, Jon and Adam ponder what life would be like with a 35 year old kind of chubby spinster lady ghost, and where they would want to "haunt" if after they died they became ghosts.

Adam and Jon decide to masticate on some asian cakes made from pinapples and roots. Adam chokes down ice cream soda, while the papaya on Jon's juice can says "How do you do?". The first "This Week in Werewolf News" segment lands! What is the plural of Dracula? Draculii? Draculum?  Draculae? FIND US A MEXICLOWN! Everything is going great... until Dark Jon rears his head and threatens to destroy all that we hold dear.  I apologize profusely for the end of this episode.  I blame the taro cakes!

Born in the Eighties 21: With Jay Gabel

Adam and Jon welcome common friend Jay Gabel.  The quizbot gauntlet nearly kills him, but a question about deli meats nearly kills Jon on the spot.  When cake fights pie, pie wins!  Larry Fishburne is a puritan shark in a pilgrim hat murdering young couples.  Many swear words are uttered, and Jon is flabbergasted by his voluminous vocabulary.  www.partyplatypus.com bitecast@gmail.com

Movie PODCAST!!!!!!  Well, if you are looking for movie talk about this week's flick, Fast and Furious, skip ahead to the 45 minutes mark, as Jon and Adam get hyper tangential.  Discussion ranges from childhood halloween costumes, Jon's previous pursuit of the fairer sex, and so much more.  Hold on to your shirts and prepare your tweed and pocket protectors because Shirt-pires are abound in this weeks edition of Born in the Eighties.

You read it! Zach to the T to the B is in Tokyo Drift for some reason. He is also dating the sluttiest girl ever. Adam discusses his shucking and jiving life lessons.  Jon uncovers deep dark secrets of Santa Claus, (yes, again) and Adam fears that things have gone a bit too far off track. Turns out Tokyo Drift is actually pretty watchable, and Little Bow Wow is still a very little person. Jon suspects that he contracted that webster virus. Maybe he was bit by a feral Gary Coleman.

Born in the Eighties 15: The Witches of Lake Waubonga

Our Fourth of July revelry has laid waste to the recording apartment.  Adam discusses the fineries of "Witchering" and how his new promotion is much more exciting than once thought.  Lake Waubonga will be Adam's camping destination where he will be front captain of the S.S. paddleboat, doing water battle with lake witches.  Jon confuses Sarah Michelle Gellar and Sarah Jessica Parker and remembers the Flight of the Navigator as being a real dick.  Jon and Adam recount famous nightmares, and talk about how scary the grimace is.  Jon talks about his introduction to the dark world of clowning.  2 Words, Poop Steak. 3 Words Boulder Porta-potty Peeper  4 Words, Fake Japanese Pop Idols. 5 Words, Police Taser Middleton Machete Wielding Man.  Watch the documentary "Guys and Dolls", or you might find yourself in a porta potty at a yoga festival in boulder.  Also, Mr. Peeper's Penguins is a pretty messed up movie.

Jon, Adam and Lantz decide to sit down and watch all of the Fast and the Furious movies.  It turns out that Lantz hates generic cuban villians. We reminisce as a dude totally gets destroyed by a semi truck out of nowhere.  The movie turns out to be one big pal-ing around fest where everybody loves eachother.  Paul Walker apparently is the great white hope in the race driving race wars that apparently occur.  In his sickness Lantz decides to watch "Spanglish", and he nearly takes a turn for the worse.  The gang also discusses how to make an awesome popcorn action movie.  Listen in!  comments go to bitecast@gmail.com  or visit www.partyplatypus.com

Things start off pretty morbid as Dr. Death dies.  Jon makes the case for changing a classic phrase to include Pogs, and Adam tells the sordid tale of Jack Kevorkian's life.  Lantz joins in at the halfway mark and zombies silently protest next to disabled children.  Rabid beavers threaten to devour everyone.  Jon drops some biology knowledge about rabid animals for everyone's safety. Germans indeed know how to get freaky.  A Teen wolf viral marketer is found growling at police.  Lantz is badgered by scammers Robert Deniro would be perfect for the clown in an IT remake.

Apparently all robots are bigots. Adam wants a prehensile tail, while Jon could go for a genetically engineered tentacle in the center of his chest.  Adam decides that in the awesome future, he will have a clone body, and Jon will become a kick ass robot.  Turns out that Robo-jesus is kind of a dick, and Adam will stop at nothing to crush Jon's Un-crushable robot frame.  Gamma Rays flood the podcasting room and Jon and Adam are able to choose their own super-powers.  Turns out that Adam is more racist than a robot.  Drunk men are very bad at robbing banks, they should just pass out in their cars, and Adam an Jon discuss how to properly throw a small child over a pool of lava.  Adam and Jon take a walk around the wild world of accents, and Adam shows his insides to little kids.

Jon questions the plot of the "The Santa Clause" movie, and how Randy Savage would have made an awesome Santa Claus.  We also discuss how all of Arnold's bastard children begin their transformation at age 10, and how it is very similar to the movie "Teen Wolf".  Hulk Hogan's Heroes get the better of Colonel Klink once again!  It is a felony to photograph whale raping parties. Our two plucky hosts contemplate how the rapture will go down, and how it is fucked up to confess spanking it to some old dude in a robe.  Kirk Cameron makes a deal with the devil, and ponders getting the extended warranty.  Adam also considers how cool it would be to become a demon, though toiling away at Foxconn for a year sounds unpleasant to him.  www.partyplatypus.com

Pigs become CEOs, and Tag Team sings about them. Yes, Israel and Palestine are not friends. Lantz and Adam argue about pointless things. Godzilla smuggles drugs into Turkey. The Kessler's diamond guy is a huge douchebag.  Kessler's may or may not have the bloodiest of diamonds.  Rubber is apparently the best movie ever made, and Jon can barely wrap hismind around the subject.  Lantz brings news from Canada, and the crew talks about their desert island shows. Lantz and Adam talk way too much about Star Trek minuatae, and Jon about whips a shitty on the podcast.

Lantz uncovers who really caused the challenger disaster.

Thor comes crashing into the room asking whether or not our drinking problem is truly helping the war effort against the frost giants.  A dude runs in while tripping balls on bath salts and not only steals Adam's innocence, but also runs off with our beloved pet goat named after a children's TV show character.  It isn't Lantz's fault that the Mexicans working the kitchen at the pizza place ruined their computer by watching porn, but he still has to do his laundry in that rape dungeon of a basement of his apartment.  We can all agree that Star Wars would have been 100x more depressing with Christopher Walken playing Han Solo.

A teacher dresses up as Mark Twain but forgets to wear the pants, Jon's 5th grade music class induces a Vietnam flashback. Ninjas break into cars, and get chased away by guidos weilding guns.  A modern re-telling of "Top Gun" would be flawed fundamentally, though U.S. Military planes have kick ass names. In Rural America, everyone drinks and drives, while attempting to elude the cops.  We discuss the Mechanics of getting a blowjob whilst walking, and how  awesome sticking your torso out of a sunroof is. Ghost ride an ATV dirty, and become a living god, meet Jack Hardcase, NBC CEO and remember, Patricia is the worst female name.  www.partyplatypus.com Email: bitecast@gmail.com

This week Adam and Jon talk to their good friend and old roommate Lantz.  He is a funny person, and he adds his unique point of view to the stuck up and stuffy podcast that Adam and Jon run.  His new free-wheeling ways upset the establishment and he is thrown out for being too "real".  But, banding together with his new pal Rowdy Roddy Piper, Lantz gets set to take over the airwaves with his own brand of realism.   Through a hilarious romp-ridden musical montage Lantz takes over the studio from the opressors. Jon and Adam end up with pies in their faces, and a Tears for Fears song plays as the kids win!! Yay!  Also, Donkey Lips is still alive, I repeat, Donkey Lips is still alive. bitecast@gmail.com www.partyplatypus.com

This is the inaugural episode of Born in the Eigthes.  Originally recorded in December of 2010, I finally got off of my lazy ass to put this thing together.  This is "patient zero" if you will, of a show I do with my best friend, every week.  Think of it as if you were a fly on the wall of a room full of 2 people talking about complete bullshit, but since you are a fly, you don't see that spider crawling behind you, and you are devoured.  That is Born in the Eighties in a Nutshell.
