Brother Date

Judah comes in hot on this one and runs for nearly 100 minutes. Why do you listen to this garbage show?

The meat of this episode is about Nerdcore Hip Hop, but which famous guitarist does Matt diagnose with permanent overconfidence? Really? No guess? It's in the title. Listen, this isn't easy but I think it's time we had a little chat about your reading comprehension. Your mother and I are very worried.

Skee-Lo, the Olympics, Mustangs, Cats.

Another member of the B5 fraternity is gone, but could he read? Why does Matt's wife rush to Broccoli's defense? When will we take the hint and stop recording these?

What are the cardinal rules of science fiction on TV? If rule number one was "try not to talk about Star Trek every week" we'd be breaking it. But depressing world events aren't a much better topic and frankly no one is listening anyway.

To be completely honest, this episode really feels like it's just for us. But then, what do you get out of this podcast in the first place? We genuinely don't know.

In one of our least Star Treky episodes ever, we discuss women's sports, music, Science(!), and not much else. Somehow it ends up our longest ever sortie.

It's becoming the summer of Star Trek at Brother Date HQ and neither of us is particularly pleased by the development. We also don't really understand the consequences of the big Brexit vote, whose results are coming in live even as we put this together. But we do know which human is the Bravest of His Race.

Judah was down for the count with a "huge pneumonia" but he's back and... as good as ever? Like this was never really that good. You have been warned.

It's cheesy butt-rock vs. australian agit-pop here in episode 9. Plus the worst names from Star Wars, a rundown of the TNG season 1 episode Haven, a Zika warning, and much much more. Seriously, it's a movie-length episode this time.

Which Millionaires Club will we discuss tonight? Does matt know as much about ROTK as he claims? Plus, our take on the Revolutionary War. IT IS A HOT TAKE.

Seriously, does any single episode of Star Trek: TNG pass the Bechdel test? Who's cutting hair now? Which kids' movies are the creepiest?

Which famous rapper from the early 2000's gets ROCK HARD doing jigsaw puzzles? HINT THE FIRST: He likes ladies named Monica and ladies named Monique. Once that is out of the way, we tackle the best console gaming generation, in another of our fascinating looks into the culture of geeks and dorks and mouth-breathers.

Matt's a little ticked off at Judah for introducing him to a new mobile game that's going to suck all of his time away. He covers up his emotion by poo-pooing all of Judah's kind music suggestions. Matt also recaps his trip to Vegas, and extols the virtues of Spirit Airlines, America's most hated corporate entity.

We've got DVR talk. We've got olympics talk. We've got Prince and Beyonce talk. We've got emulator talk and virus talk. We've got Aunt Mary talk. Does any of that interest you? Listen and subscribe!

Will we realize that Matt's using the wrong microphone in time to do something about it? Would Judah's voice sound better if he hadn't just finished gumming up his throat with sticky "Chinese Food"? Why do you keep listening? I know the format of these descriptions is that I ask you rhetorical questions, but I really want to know the answer to that question.

What would Katy Perry say about a hot 5 on air conditioning and a cool 10 about the new Star Wars trailer? How'd they get them Death Star plans? What would an hour long conversation be like if Matt watched ten TV shows Judah never watched and Judah watched five Matt never watched? Would there even be anything to talk about? How about a screed on pay-cable nudity? How does that suit you?

Why not start a podcast with 3 minutes on race relations? That seems like a good idea. Other topics of discussion include: Which beard color is the most trustworthy? Can the best actor of a generation bring a movie down? Will you see a movie you know has a moronic premise? Who was a lazier lyricist: Sam and Dave, or Fats Domino? Is Birdman Michael Keaton's play-within-the-movie-Birdman? Why are superhero movies just the worst?
