Hobo Radio 271 – When rugged just isn’t a strong enough word

Batman, Ben Affleck, Chris Hemsworth, Featured, Hobo Radio, Joss Whedon

We can all agree that Chris Hemsworth is an attractive man. But the degree to which Joel Murphy can admit he’s attractive has him feeling a slight bit uncomfortable. And his handsomeness also has Lars seeking a word stronger than “rugged” to describe just what it is that makes him so fetching.

The dynamic duo also discuss Joss Whedon flying into cities to save movie scripts, Ben Affleck’s ability to play a “tired and weary” and the best way to sell water and/or panhandle in a city. And Murphy talks about his big day in court, including the very lax dress code at the courthouse.

What’s the right word to describe Hemsworth’s handsomeness? What do the boys think should sweep the nation instead of Talk Like a Pirate Day? Who has that ice cold water? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.

Hobo Radio 267 – No really, we totally have a list

acupuncture, Batman, Ben Affleck, Breaking Bad, Featured, Hobo Radio, rhubarb, Superman

It may seem like Joel Murphy and Lars are making this week’s show up as they go along, but they totally have a list of topics they are going off of. A very real, in no way made up list. One that you can’t see, but apparently includes diverse topics like acupuncture, Breaking Bad‘s unexpected surge in popularity and rhubarb. It also, randomly enough, includes an advertisement for an upcoming car show.

And if that wasn’t enough, the end of the show is interrupted by breaking news. It’s news that has sent the entire Internet into a tizzy. Ben Affleck is the new Batman. Hear Joel and Lars’ reactions as they hear the news for the first time.

How was Lars’ first acupuncture session? Will Ben Affleck be the bomb in Batman vs. Superman, yo? Does watching The World’s End make you more British? The answers to these questions and more are in this week’s podcast.
