The Buddies get down with their Irish selves and tackle the Holiest of Grails, 120 proof cask-strength Redbreast Irish Whiskey. The booze be fancy, but can S’Mike keep up with Mike’s tastebuds?
Listen to find out!
Mike’s son’s eating woes get a good talkin’ about, and the Buddies finally discuss Jessica Jones. Both having read the comics, WHAT WILL THEY THINK OF THE ENDING OF SEASON 1?!?!?!
Also: The Star Wars Rogue One trailer! Suicide Squad hopes! Leaded glassware!
The Buddies knock back painfully spicy Jinn + Ja rum cocktails while committing the most cardinal of geek sins, reviewing a movie neither of them has seen. But since the drinks burn so good and the movie being reviewed second-hand is Batman vs. Superman, everyone agrees that it’s cool.
Except maybe Ben Affleck.
The super-powers of Super Delegates get explored, although little is known about these strange and elusive Democratic creatures.
The Buddies then risk life and botulism when they open a decade-old US military MRE, or Meal Ready to Eat, which they purchased years previous at a Canadian Army-Navy Surplus store. Figure that one out! Some surprising discoveries are made about military food technology, as well as military-grade instruction writing.
Also covered: the Dungeons and Dragons alignment of General Zod! Extra S’mike abuse! And a very special guest introduction/birthday wish!
Mike takes a very revealing personality test, with S’mike as his personal “Bullshit Caller.” Which is an incredibly important job, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. The results?
*Shocking*
Coconuts are a theme as well, with tales of coconut daredevilry, fancy boozey coconut concoctions and a study of statistically significant coconut-related injuries in the US.
S’mike recounts the horrors of visiting his parents in their Floridian gated community, and the Buddies get in touch with their inner cavemen, recounting times they made bad decisions as their lizard brains took over.
Also: Vampire internet clips! Corn cobs! Crib escaping!
And the secret reason behind the zombie craze is revealed. You heard it hear fifteenth, folks.
It’s Debbie Downer time, kiddos! The Buddies sip on dry soda and gin and fall into the Pit of Despair, but instead of a lovable albino and the Six Fingered Man, instead the frightening real world creeps in.
Ahhhhhhhh! Real worlds are scary, amiright?
Depressing topics covered and mocked include police militarization, gerrymandering, racism and the allegations against the former lead singer of everyone’s favorite Canadian A Capella group, Moxy Fruvous!
Mike also relays his two, count ’em, TWO true experiences with having the NYPD draw guns on him and his friends. It was worse than it sounds. Also, he explains what taking Miracle Berry pills is like. Hint: bring lemons.
On the lighter side of depressing stuff, the Buddies review Spy (it was good!), British women bottling air (it’s stupid, but hey, good for them!) and writing kid’s books (it don’t take no college degree!)
Buddies In Space Provcast
S'mike Ruins Moxy Fruvous, or The Buddies Ruin Everything
The Buddies plumb the depths of their day and find humor in the mundane, from laser gum cleanings to shoveling snow off a deck over and over and over again. All while drinking “Mediocre ‘Fuck-You Winter!’ Mojitos.” You’ll even learn the super-secret recipe for simple syrup!
Shhhhhhhhhhhh.
Things turn intriguing when Mike relays tales of studying the old moneyed rich in a college Sociology class, almost completely blowing S’mike’s mind. If you’ve ever wondered what Danny Wegman’s living room looks like, this is the podcast for you!
S’mike manages to drudge up even MORE stories about his bizarre younger life, including growing up kind of rich without realizing it and his father’s estranged relationship with the family. Next year Kurt Russel will be playing S’mike’s father, a la Snake Pliskin, in the based-on-a-true-story “Escape From Mississippi.”
Also: Mike’s review of a classy porn movie! Sexing up a romantic story about getting the Siuda’s together! S’mike’s ego-boosting audition reaction by a room full of oddly appreciative ladies!
The Buddies are at it again, and this time no corner of Craigslist is safe!
On a suggestion from S’mike’s wife, BIS tackles the weirdest, creepiest and most desperate Missed Connections they can be handed (because they’re too lazy to find some themselves), and then mock the hell out of ’em.
Didn’t see that coming, DID ya?!
Marvel at the sparkling wit of the Trader Joe’s Passive-Aggressivist! Stand in awe of the creepy office park drone who is crowd-sourcing his stalking! Groan at the ubergeek who fills his post with more references than even the Buddies combined can pick up on!
Also, Mike relays his brief stint as a post-apocalyptic slum lord, S’mike toes the line of being a ruiner and OMG AERITH DIES ALL OVER AGAIN NOOOOOOOOO.
Oh, and Trainwreck gets a favorable review. Even if some penises are made to shrivel…
Join Buddies In Space as they film their first (and probably only) television episode for RCTV!!!
That’s right, the Buddies make their bid to be Rochester-famous by filming a pilot of their podcast in front of a dead studio audience at Rochester City Television studios!
This podcast was edited independently of the television show it came from, but there are still points where you’ll have to use your imagination as to what’s happening. Assuming you HAVE an imagination, you soulless automaton… Or, hey, just a thought, watch the TV episode here:
LINKCOMINGSOON
Discover Mike’s strange new addiction! Worry at S’mike’s alarming refusal to state that he is NOT a murderer! Delve into the insanity that is “Operation: Perfect Christmas!”
Plus laughter, cursing on television and reenactments. Wow!
Travel back in time, dear listener, as Buddies In Space hypnotize you and unpack your childhood recollections.
Well, really they just unpack more of their own childhood recollections. And instead of hypnosis, they use alcohol. So that entire lead-in sentence was a lie.
The horrors of S’mike’s childhood are brought to light, from the “lunches” his mother packed for him that caused him to fail classes in school to his secret shame, the __________wear store his family owned in the South Bend, IN mall.
Then gain more useless knowledge as Mike explains the intricate inner working of a VHS tape while he relays how to repair one. Just think, if you ever DID travel back in time… BIS will ensure that you can get a job at a video store to pay for your rotary telephone calls and sabretooth tiger hunts!
The Buddies then share (read: compete with one another by telling) their absolute favoritest stories from college, involving “my roomate is gone” parties and headbanging competitions with the police.
Also: Bat molestation! Penis sheathes made of celery! The best donuts in Rochester, NY!
