Because the fine folks at TLC indulged us with a second season of “My Strange Addiction” the gang takes a look at more of the strangest God damn things people are obsessing about these days. Also, Tod gets into some intriguing L.A. environmentalist stuff and much, much more on this, the 104th edition of the Far Out! Podcast. (Oh yeah, as a tribute to Mr. Davy Jones, all the music on today’s show is from The Monkees.)
Sensing their own mortality, the gang reveals the experiences they’d like to have before they die. What’s one place Tod would love to visit? Where does Buck wish to settle down one day? What food does Elliott hope to someday eat? All this and an investigation into some strange happenings in the Far Out! garage in this the 103rd episode of the podcast.
Tension mounts in the studio as Tod finally confronts Buck about an ongoing problem with his performance on the show. Also, the gang breaks open the listener mailbag, Tod discusses a breakthrough that could be potentially life-saving for disappointed Star Wars fans and, finally, the gang engages in one of their most hard-hitting rounds of #RealTalk yet. Can you handle it?
Given the rapid pace of technology (to be trite about it…) numerous things have recently fallen into the dustbin of American culture. Which items and behaviors will our kids (yes, we’re making an assumption here) never know about? In episode 101, the Far Out! crew takes a look.
Part 1: Some dude on the Internet did some research and discovered the actual date of famed rapper Ice Cube’s good day described in his 1993 hip-hop anthem, “It Was a Good Day.” As luck would have it, Tod has an entry for the same date in his high school diary. Was it a good day for him or a bad one? Part 2: Looking to get a good buzz on the cheap? The Far Out! crew uncovers a top-secret recipe for making prison wine with the aid of some local experts.
Part 1: In celebration of Far Out!’s 100th episode, Tod goes through a list of alternative titles and themes he once considered for the podcast. Part 2: Like a modern day Bigfoot, Drunk C. has evaded having his voice captured and played on the show for the fist 99 episodes. But now, for the first time, Far Out! presents a brief conversation with the legendary Drunk C recorded at a sushi bar. Part 3: You know that stuff everyone says you should dig but you just don’t understand? The Far Out! crew reveals the things they just can’t get into.
