034-Duels?


When honor is at stake the only thing worth laying on the line is your life. As a ancestor of Chivalry and Trial by Combat, dueling often seems like a brutal and cruel activity. Dueling conjures up visions of wild west shootouts at high noon as well as Samurai in kimonos eyeing each other, hands ready at the sword hilt. Duels generally were held only between aristocracy, at a designated date and time with a predetermined weapon. This set of criteria differentiates dueling from the common street fight. So strap in to your harness, grab a chainsaw and remember “Two men enter, one man leaves!”.

Hobo Radio 309 – The Golden Age of Television

Joel Murphy and Lars should probably be upset that the most recent Transformers film has been dominant at the box office, despite the fact that its awful. But Joel is feeling rather zen about it – mainly because these days it’s television, not movies, that he turns to for quality entertainment.

The boys discuss the miraculous return of Community, along with the other amazing television shows being offered these days. They also discuss a recent top 100 films list created by Hollywood insiders and a recent children’s birthday party Joel attended.

Where did Yahoo get all of this money from? Is The Godfather the greatest movie of all time? Is Lars an alcoholic? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

This week’s music:

  • Intro – “Giddy Up” by Tahuna Breaks
  • End – “Good Morning America” by Sinnatra
