Wallet Archaeology, or “The Evolution of S. Michael Smith”

1 Reply

S’mike provides a rare gem, allowing the Buddies to mine his high school and college wallet, untouched for many a year. Seriously, no man should have this many-

-kind of horrific, am I right?

Also discussed: romantic dilemmas with video game sorceresses, awkward true life break-up stories and the virtues of living on Long Island vs. Staten Island. Assuming you think that there are any…

Plus, comedy!

Ever wonder what it was like working in a video store? Do you dream of delivering pizza? Well, Buddies In Space crush your dreams and steal your wonderment! Wait, somehow that doesn’t sound right…

The Buddies relay their very best (and most ridiculous) recollections from their college jobs, complete with car jackings, customers who think they’re invisible, life before GPS and trailer park hierarchy.

Learn Mike’s mathematical formula for how to conduct a cost-benefit analysis on video game value. Feel sad sadness when S’mike shares how he exhausted every video rental in his small town due to loneliness…

Also, grill fires! Mazes and Monsters! Rib membrane removal!

The the Buddies even figure out what exactly is going on inside of a Red Box. Warning: You. Will. Be. Shocked.

And of course rants, riffs and humor. Mustn’t forget about those!

With Special Guests Colin the Vampire Viking and Stuuuuuuuuuu!

1 Reply

The Buddies are joined by Colin the Vampire Viking, in his second BIS guest appearance, along with his long-time friend Stu Allen, two former members of horror movie podcast “The Death of Horror.”

Horror movies and tropes get discussed and dissected, Mike drudges up one of his craziest NYC stories yet and Bragg’s Apple Cider drinks are tasted aplenty. Spoiler: they’re not half bad.

Also, Colin and Stu relay their curious tendency to get “two-spooned” when ordering a dessert at a restaurant…

Stu didn’t get to talk much, so savor his every word. Enjoy!

The 80’s vs the 90’s

Leave a reply

The Buddies host the Battle of the Century, pitting the 80’s against the 90’s for decade supremacy with a little help from Trivial Pursuit.

Which was the better decade? Who has forgotten more? Only Buddies In Space can tell!

Also, tangents. So very, very many tangents.

And DON’T FORGET about our Calling All Writers blog post- give us your embarrassingly bad short stories and poems so we can do dramatic readings of them in a future episode!

A Litany of Pain

Leave a reply

The Buddies dive deep into graphics card dick-measuring, garage sales and the most ridiculous video game controller ever devised by mankind (hint: look at the pic). The not-so-great drink recipe from the previous episode is corrected, and gosh darn it, it tastes pretty good! Also, Mike recounts the time that Susan Lucci stabbed him with her Daytime Emmy.

Before you ask- Yes, that is actually a true story.

Mike and S’mike also compare their educations on the Civil War since they went to grade school on both sides of the Mason Dixon line. S’mike then shows his age by not really understanding what a podcast actually is.

Will S’Mike be able to decide who was “right” during the Civil War? What secret toy-related sound effect did Mike hide in the podcast to entice S’mike to listen to his own damned voice?? Will Mike ever stop over-stating the listenership size of Marc Maron’s podcast?!?!?!?!?!?!

There’s only way to find out, dear Buddies- listen now!

Also, DON’T FORGET about our Calling All Writers blog post- give us your embarrassingly bad short stories and poems so we can do dramatic readings of them later this summer!

Barq’s and Black Holes

Leave a reply

Buddies In Space returns to outer space- Finally!

Join the Buddies as S’mike recounts ANOTHER college spring break trip in which he failed to get laid (seriously, was this guy in college for a decade?!), Mike rants about being torn over a certain Christopher Nolan space epic and the subversive, subliminal genius of Stanley Kubrick gets recognized.

At least two bizarre alcoholic beverage recipes are provided for your drinking… “pleasure.” And S’mike shares a litany of old man noises!

Also included is the Buddies In Space call to action: “Calling All Writers!” You can read more and submit your original material here.

The Buddies are joined by good friend and fellow geek Colin M. Gorman. Lots o’ topics are covered: bad anime voice acting, the woes of being uncommonly tall and Colin’s super-secret occupation is discussed at length. Buddies In Space actually guarantees that you will learn something new from this podcast or your money back. WHAT CAN IT BEEEEEEEE?

Also, S’mike reveals his skin fetish. Er, interest.

May the Fourth Be With Your Wallet

Leave a reply

The Buddies relive their Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica toy days from childhood, complete with REAL toy sounds (thanks, Youtube!) Also, Mike forces S’mike to begrudgingly talk about Star Wars on Star Wars day. Over and over and over again. The Star Wars Holiday Special might even get critiqued. Guess you’ll hafta listen to find out, huh?

Actors’ names forgotten in this podcast, in the order they are forgotten:

-Melissa McCarthy
-Naomi Watts
-Art Carney
-Scott Schwartz

Yup. Memory is a fleeting thing.

Also, S’Mike develops blower envy.

Calling All “Writers!”

Hey, Buddies In Space fans- we had a great response to our “Dramatic Readings of 90’s Teen Horror Novel Covers,” and we want to do something fun that’ll get YOU, our faithful listeners, involved.

Paste your original, uncopyrighted written material below for it to possibly be read by BIS. That’s right, we want YOUR content for some dramatic readin’s! We can’t guarantee that everything submitted will get read, but we’ll try. Who knows, maybe this will even become a regular thing…

Gotta short story you wrote in grade school that you are too embarrassed to show anyone? Submit it below and we’ll read it to the whole internet, Buddies-style. Want to get revenge on your sibling/children/significant other? Submit their “poetry” below and we’ll adapt it to be read by the two of us.

Sadly we can’t read Sam Shepard on the show, as much as we would rock True West, so please do not submit copyrighted material unless it is YOUR’S and you release us to lampoon it. (Sam Shepard, we’re looking at you!) Also, content that you wrote for something else works best- don’t go writing sumpin’ “funny” just for us.

Leave the humor to the Buddies, we’ll find it in whatever you submit 😉
