Download the whole show with Bit Torrent, via The Pirate Bay. ------- 00:00 Ah, yes. What better way to start the show than with a few laughs, chuckles and good times, as our heroes discuss why their weeks have been "craptastic" and compare horrific mouth noises. 05:31 Catchup time, with some Over/Under stragglers from last week, discussing their choices for the most over-rated and most under-rated TV shows of the 90s, plus some Facebook love and an email from Spike's Mum. 27:55 Pickin' And Grinnin' - the segment of the show where the week in news is examined under a moonshine microscope. (Apple iPad jokes not included) 30:20 This Week In Stuff, where The Boys help you to make better media decisions by sharing, for better or worse, the Stuff they've been inta. Paul's Ebert list grows ever shorter as he crosses off two more movies; Fritz Lang's "M" and puns abound with "My Darling Clementine". Also, which award-winning guitarist has trouble keeping up with the masters and has been playing the wrong chord on the verse? Paul has the scoop, thanks to rockumentary "It Might Get Loud". Another odd week for Spike with a 'pew pew pew'-filled half hour of the first episode of "Firefly", via a very cool piece of software called Boxee (one X, and no 'babee' at the end), via the miracle of social networking. He was convinced by Terry Pratchett's lecture on assisted death (delivered by a 'stunt Pratchett'), watched more "Torchwood" and "The Rules Of Film Noir". 59:24 Over/Under, where we discuss the things that are over-rated and the things that are under-rated about a particular topic. This week, movie soundtracks. Whether it's the orchestral score or a 'songs from the movie' album, The Boys and the commentariat have some interesting thoughts, including "Titanic", "Nick and Nora's Infinite Soundtrack", "Tron", and two appearances from Paul Williams!

Fri, 29 January 2010  This week, our heroes are joined by (some of) the cast of popbunker.net, the internets' most pop culturally aware source for news, reviews and previews, commentary, trailers and oddities. Coop (twitter | website), Joey (twitter | website), Caveman (twitter | website) and Heather (twitter | website) drop by to discuss the cult of PopBunker, their week in stuff, and their picks for Over/Under. Why does the opening jingle play twice? um.... don't know, sir. 0:00:00 It sounds like some potential bad news, as Spike sorts out his feelings for Paul. Paul, however, is more concerned about the lack of people using the Paul And Spike Show Google Wave experiment. 0:16:24 Yes! It's back! The week's current affairs, as seen through an oxycontin haze - Pickin' And Grinnin'! 0:18:40 Episode one of "A Very Special PopBunker". Not really. The gang are in, and what a Week In Stuff they've had!
0:51:50 The first Over/Under of the new year is a real head-scratcher. The concave-chested hipsters, the cast of PopBunker and the commentariat discuss their choices for most over-rated and most under-rated TV shows of the 1990s. Some surprising choices for Overs and some long-lost Unders. Thoughts? Agreements? Disagreements? The discussion doesn't have to stop at the copyright notice.

NERRR!!! I say, The Boys are back in toww-oww-ah-oww-owwn, The Boys are back in town. 0:00:00 But first, this news. Veteran anchor Smack Torquelson and the "Newsmakers" team take a very special look past the latest news from the Haiti disaster. 0:08:00 Aaaaaaand they're back. A snatch of Radio Six International's top new jingle package, a story that's not fit for broadcast, reference to a turn of the century French artist, and our heroes discuss the last time they played in the snow, what makes New Year rubbish, and what they did on their Christmas vacation. Flyyyyy! *honk* Flyyyyyyy! *honk* Flyyyyyyyyyyy! *honk* 0:29:00 For This Festive Season In Stuff, Paul gets tripped up by a ten-hour entry in Ebert's movie list.

Fri, 15 January 2010  In this scaled down, not-a-season-two-premiere show, the boys are hit with abandonment, scheduling conflicts, technical difficulties and basic ineptitude. Bodes well for the rest of the year, don't it?Comments[0] |

Naturally, we the public are still none the wiser, but The Boys ask their wide and varied legion of fans what question they would pay fifty thousand dollars to have answered... 46:49 - As was a tradition in the mid "naughties", Osama bin Laden would release a new year tape, outlining the past twelve months and what his new year resolutions would be. The Boys play his '04 tape in full, complete with translation. I wonder if he ever got those sandals clean...? 52:20 - Long John Dablinski, NPR's "Ask The Tech Support Pirate", provides some valuable information about whether the Blackberry or the iPhone is the better smartphone for syncing with the office. -------- Spread the word!

Fri, 1 January 2010  Ah, what a year it's been! And instead of palming off a best-of filled with stuff you can still get, and that's still fresh in your mind from the past twelve, we've decided to reach into the archives and palm off some years-old material from The Boys' days in old fashioned radio. On the slate this week, lottery winner Jack Whittaker, so-called POW Jessica Lynch, Janet Jackson, a drunk meteorologist and... tattoos? 01:35 - In 2002, Jack Whittaker became the largest lottery winner in Powerball history. In 2003, Jack Whittaker gets robbed of half a million dollars at a local fast food joint/strip bar. Paul and Spike were there with dissection of the incident and a local edition of the tv show "Cops"... 26:20 - In 2003, Jessica Lynch was injured by an Iraqi roadside bomb and - so the US military said - put a Jack Bauer-style single-handed beatdown on the elite republican guard, crawled out of the hospital, on fire, with eight orphans under each arm, cured cancer, de-colorized "Casablanca" and was home in time for dinner. Paul and Spike were there the day she came back home to West Virginia, and revealed the niceness of locals who won't be told... 34:57 - The Paul And Spike Show - brought to you by the FlexTech2000! 37:19 - Groundhog Day! Every February second, some oaf in a daft hat in a place with an odd name manhandles a rodent out of a box and then claims it's going to be colder for six more weeks. Go figure. Paul And Spike have their very own meteorological prognosticator; Drinksalotty Phil - played to perfection by WKLC's Brian Thompson. 43:46 - It's the day after the great Janet Jackson Superbowl scandal, and the wound is still raw. The Boys and the callers dissect the preceding day's events through a "did that really happen?" haze. 50:35 - As the man says, "it's nothing to do with anything". A random 'driveway moment', as The Boys discuss tattoos. It's not a discussion that will change the world, but it's hella interesting. -------- Spread the word! Now, the best place to get hold of the show is at the new www.PaulAndSpike.com - with the most recent show, the archives and various other examples of whatnot. ------- Want to contribute to the show?

Thu, 24 December 2009  Hey all! Two downloads for you on this most Christmas eve-ish of all
days: the first is our audio Christmas card to you, which will arrive
on the feed in the usual way. Paul put this together, and, quite
frankly, it's too damned good to throw in the middle of something.Click here to download the audio Christmas card mp3. Second, is the Christmas music special. iTunes throws a fit if music is on a podcast, so we're distributing this to you in another way. It won't download automatically on the feed, so this is the only way to get it. Click here to download the entire show mp3. Have a wonderful Christmas, and we'll see you in the new year. Thanks for listening, thanks for downloading, thanks for passing the word around, and thanks for being so damned awesome. We mean it. Really. Paul And Spike December 24 2009 Comments[0] |
Fri, 18 December 2009  Merry Christmas! It's another hiatus-filling edition of The Best Of Paul And Spike, looking back at The Boys' ten year working relationship, and featuring clips from their award-winning "old fashioned radio" shows. 01:00 - Funny how, looking back, it seemed like Arnold Schwarzenegger's gubernatorial run was a punchline, eh? Well, it happened, and what you'll hear in this segment is Paul, Spike, and journalist Chris "Mr Universe" Dickerson's treatment of the news of his entry into the race. Oh how we laughed, then gasped, then cried. 16:44 - Veteran news anchor Smack Torquelson grills Schwarzenegger, and asks the questions that need to be asked.* *(in order to get the film clips to provide relevant answers) 21:04 - The Paul&Spike prognosticatin' microphones wonder exactly what a Schwarzenegger governorship might sound like. That's not funnee! 23:24 - Exactly why have The Boys been obsessed with Michael MacDonald? Spike has some ideas, but a clip from the year 2000 that features some very Michy MacD-sounding coming-back-from-the-commercials music, throws them into a fit of hilarity. 27:00 - Morning show news anchor Nicky Walters has moved into a new apartment! Hurrah! Problem is, the previous tenant left some items behind, including a wrench and a secret stash of classless porno mags. 37:03 - Leo Laporte is coming to town! Or, at least, was coming to town. Back in the days before TWiT, when he was on TechTV (back in the day when TechTV existed!) he joined The Boys on the show to talk technology and to figure out if Paul is a truly geek because he wasn't using Windows XP yet. 46:47 - Another outing for Smack Torquelson and the "Newsmakers". This time, Newsmakers correspondent Rip Tickle gets sent to Duck in North Carolina to get a first-hand (and, ultimately, fatal) look at Hurricane Isabel. -------- Spread the word!

Fri, 11 December 2009  It's the festive season, and The Boys are joined by Two Men And A Ghost for some festive spook hunting, Christmarsery and some shocking cracker jokes.00:00 With a generic "Happy Holidays" from one, and a Merry "if you take December 25th off, you're observing Christmas, whether you like it or not" from the other, the final TPASS of the year gets underway. How are The Boys faring up with the constant onslaught of Christmas music? Paul's daughter has attached herself to Bing Crosby, Spike whines about the dilution of the holiday spirit. 11:45 Did you enjoy last week's "Best Of"? Several emailers didn't hear it, but heard it was phenomenal. The Boys celebrate a working relationship of ten years, and look forward to next year's guests and more relaxation over the holiday season whilst they palm off more "Best Of" compilations on you, the frenzied fanbase. 20:56 Ho Ho Ho, etcetera. No Pickin' And Grinnin' on this, the final show of the year. Instead, some hideously embarrassing Christmas cracker jokes. Paper hats on, this is going to get rough... 25:23 The two men from the Two Men And A Ghost blog, Andrew Wooding and Mike Kazybrid, join The Boys to discuss their Week In Stuff. Andrew's been watching the new Dr Who cartoon, attending two concerts and teaching Paul a new word... 34:13 Mike's had a weird week, he's been enjoying the new Alison Moyet CD and "Terminator 4", which, he says, leaves the door open for part five; "Terminator: The Stonking". Also - he teases a boiler man story that might change your life. What you don't know about this boiler man story could save your life! 54:02 Paul's love for Frank Zappa has been re-invigorated thanks to a streaming Netflix doco (it is streamed, on whatever it is he streams it on there) about the makings of albums "Apostrophe" and "Over-Nite Sensation". It's Christmas in Higginbotham Towers, with a yearly reading of "A Christmas Carol" and "The Man Who Invented Christmas" by Les Standiford, about how Charles Dickens' novel re-lit the worlds' Christmas spirit. 59:48 Spike's got "Harry Brown" to see, and watched a doco about the making of "Band Aid". Phil Collins gets some rare praise, and Midge Ure finally gets recognition for his work. 1:10:45 Yes! It's here! It's finally here! THE BOILERMAN STORY!! Yeeeaahh! Gather the family around the radio! Guaranteed, you will never look at a blue bucket in the same way again, nor will you ever want to eat another breadcake... 1:19:00 Andrew and Mike have gone professional! Thanks to their ghosthunting activities, they've been invited to official properties to put an official stamp of approval on important buildings. Read the full story on the Two Men And A Ghost blog closer to Christmas.... 1:44:18 It being the festive season and all The Boys and The Two Men list the festive movies they can't live without. -------- Spread the word!
