Topics joked about range from the Ready Player One movie vs the book, geek parenting and the college pranks of yesteryear. And the Buddies even keep the episode clean so that Dan’s kids can listen!

Also, Dan reveals a shocking secret that he’s kept from Mike for almost 20 years.

Wow.

S’Mike’s Greatest Fear Is Realized

3 Replies

In this special episode of Buddies In Space, Mike lays a clever trap for a mentally exhausted S’Mike, forcing him to come face-to-face with his greatest fear- getting cubed!

Cut to that scene in the first Resident Evil movie, or the opening of Cube. Gross, right?

Actually, Mike’s wife joins the Buddies on the podcast for the first time ever to give S’mike an ancient personal assessment. What you learn will maybe shock you a little if you don’t know S’mike very well.

Also- Whiplash, and Captain America: Civil War get reviewed, Mike’s Loot Crate addiction is explored and the Buddies dance around an infamous and divisive e-mail thread.

Digital suspense!

The Geekelution of Justin Woodhouse

1 Reply

The Buddies are joined by friend and recovering “party ninja” Justin Woodhouse, who serves up the most deliciously geeky cocktail ever made by man. Or woman.

Justin gets the BIS treatment, exploring the gradual embracing of his geekier side, cracking jokes and helping S’Mike to finally give Mike a hard time.

Finally!

If you’ve ever wanted to know more about the Woodhouse, need a good laugh or want to learn more about the terrifying drinking game known only as “Pain” then you’re in the right place!

And Justin, don’t worry- you’re definitely a real geek!

So Exactly How Evil Is Mike Curasi, Anyway?

Leave a reply

Find out here!

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.

The Dark Triad personality test can be found here

S’mike Ruins Moxy Fruvous, or The Buddies Ruin Everything

2 Replies

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!)

Demonic Vegans Shooting Acid

The Buddies sit down with artisinal Moscow Mules for a rousing play-through of their new favorite game, Superfight! A not-invisible Dr. Horrible squares off against his own insidious creation(s), and a unicorn with catlike reflexes gets a fancy upgrade.

Mike then relays his experiences drinking in downtown Austin, TX, and the local slogan “Keep Austin Weird” is 100% confirmed. S’mike counters with his experience hanging out with the late improv legend Del Close during his last visit to Austin, and the made-up-just-now slogan “Del Close was fricking insane” is also 100% confirmed.

A 2-year-old’s birthday party also gets a play-by-play break-down, complete with round-robin bounce-housing, cookie cake meltdowns and Disney merchandising.

Also: the socio-political state of modern-day Russia! Improv mills! And no Star Wars spoilers!

The One We Did For Television

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!

Tasmanian Devil Face Cancer

Woah Nelly, does this episode start out dark! Mike delves into the insanity of a recent death in the family, and the Buddies attempt to find humor in it where they can. More of Mike’s cult background is also discussed. ‘Cuz that’s funny, right?

Right?!

Things move on to lighter fare when S’Mike provides one last box of childhood detritus for the Buddies to mine, and boy is it ever filled with… stuff. Some of which is disintegrating.

A strong-but-delicious drink recipe is tested and is found to pass muster, especially with hipsters. Also the podcast title is explained.

Humor!
