This week, The Boys are joined by the President Of The (e)United States of America, to discuss his legacy. Also on the agenda, why it was a bad week to be a celebrity, Iran's recount and a morbid Over/Under.

00:00 Oh sure, you'd think that after replacing computers to improve the recording quality (last week's show sounded ghastly), all would be well, right? Particularly since now there's a Linux in the mix. But, alas, no. Spike's not alone when it comes to computer woes, Paul's ISP is having one of its yearly cop-outs. Will Paul the IT professional be able to convince the script-reliant customer service rep that he knows the problem is at their end...?

08:58 It's not been a safe week to be a celebrity. The Boys talk about all the dudes what snuffed it, dish out the Jackson puns and give a touching tribute to that actress who was in that thing once. On NBC. No... wait... CBS.

14:30 Between Michael Jackson dominating the newscasts and not too many protesters left out of jail to complain, there's not been much Iran news over the past week. There's been a recount - but was it fair and accurate? And what links Iran to overnight radio chappies who run out of toilet paper?

18:50 The week's news is condensed and delivered with breath that smells like moonshine and ramps, as The Boys go Pickin' And Grinnin'.

21:30 Hail to the chief, baby! Just a few days before he leaves office, President Scrabman; leader of the largest country in the New World of eRepublik, joins The Boys for his first and final interview as elected head of state. Paul's got a few questions about the game, and President Scrabman discusses his legacy.

1:05:57 It's been the most fatal week for celebrities in living memory, so The Boys talk about celebrity deaths that were given an Overabundance of media coverage or had an Underwhelming two-line obit in the Sutton And Thames-Ditton Racing Post. It features two musicianins, one comedian and someone who didn't really do anything other than ponce up and down red carpets and sponge off the taxpayers. ** Over/Under is brought to you by AbraCadaver!: don't let your murder investigation go autopsy-turvey - leave your celebrity post mortem to the experts, because your body shouldn't look bad 'cause of death. **

Breaking news, which is already well broken. Ropey quality thanks to a computer that's about to go the way of Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and Mark Sanford's political career, this week's show, which deals extensively with the media coverage of news 'events', was recorded just as news of Michael Jackson's death was breaking.

00:00 Harking back to their days of 'old fashioned radio', The Boys look back to other breaking news that has happened whilst they've been on air, including September 11th and Hitler's invasion of Poland.

03:25 In front of our very eyes, news is breaking at the speed of Tweets, whether it's a celebrity death or a revolution. But whom can one trust? Is the media running away with half-baked tips? Will the established media even survive when every hobbledehoy with a mobile phone and a Twitter account is a "citizen journalist"?

14:31 Joined by Scottish radio production god Stewart Priest, "Stoop" talks about the difference in the way breaking news is covered in the UK from the US media outlets, and the future of news gathering.

33:30 Better late and in a different segment than never, right? Beware those flying sharp shards of show protocol, the news gets countrified in Pickin' And Grinnin'.

36:19 Another great running commentary from Robin - glass o'booze in hand and the lure of an empty Outlook email combined with incendiary comments from Paul on Sarah Palin means that Robin is in rare form... Also, the President of the eUnited States issues a statement on the boys' eRepublik gameplay.

48:02 Paul is well impressed with the comedic skills of friends-of-friend-of-the-show Rebecca Burch, regarding the Mark Sanford scandal. The Boys discuss the case in detail and whether, as a republican, Sanford is getting a raw-er deal from the media than a democrat.

56:48 This Week In Stuff. Having discovered that it is, indeed, himself that sucks, Paul scoops the US Open trophy. Work that one out. Spike's been watching a 1980s-era documentary on the moon, and Paul does the single greatest Wanda Sykes impression in history. So good it ends the show.

-----

The Paul And Spike Show Forums are open... and we've been waiting for you. Hot topics this week have include Steve Jobs' new liver, the US military accepting neo-nazis but not gays, and a new haiku thread.

Uh-oh... not much fun for those non-geeks as the Dynamic Duo talk about games. Also on the agenda, a healthy dollop of sexchanges, politics, religion and... haircuts?

00:00 Traps open, and away we go. A booze update; one is drinking, one is wussing out. Shocking! Furthermore, the hair situation gets worse. Paul's growing his back, but Spike - following a dare - now looks like a white supremacist.

07:17 An offer from a listener, who has crowned the show his favourite non-gay-specific podcast, to be the show's GLBT correspondent! The Boys discuss the psychological differences between homosexuality and transgenderism, following Chastity "Chaz" Bono's decision to live as a man. Is a fake victorian-era moustache all that's needed for gender re-assignment?

03:15 Following on from a discussion on the new Paul And Spike Show Forums, Spike circumvents the Iran news to talk about the Sarah Palin Vs David Letterman rent-a-rage incident.

26:57 Pickin' And Grinnin' - hooo-whee! Them cousinbrothers view the week's news through the bottom of a moonshine glass, boy howdy. Or something.

29:50 This Week In Stuff (stuff stuff stuff)! Paul goes into more detail about his recently finished Star Trek model, and looks forward to building his 'antique' one. Can he keep the hot babes at bay in the Sci-Fi Model Builders' Forum?

44:01 It's a trip to Sore Armsville for Paul following his recent purchase of both "EA Grand Slam Tennis" and "Tiger Woods' Golf" for the Wii, complete with the Motion Plus dongle. Tee-hee... "dongle". Spike's had his backside consistently handed to him internationally through Mario Kart Wii, and discusses the differences between racing other Americans, and racing around the world.

53:15 Spike's new obsession, the "MMO" game eRepublik, in which he will RULE THE WORLD! MWAAHAAHAAHAAA!! ...or not, as the case may be. The Boys discuss how n00b-unfriendly it is and what could make it more appealing to the head-scratchers.

1:08:47 Time once more for the shopbookexchange.com Haiku Book Review, in which you could win ten dollars to spend at the very cool online store. Alls you gots to do is email a book review or plot summary in haiku form to the usual address by noon on Wednesday June 24th. Feeling all strategistical after playing eRepublik? Check out these babies at shopbookexchange.com - they could help you win your next war and secure your country. Or, if you fancy becoming president, why not learn from those who have been there, with these'ns?

-----

The Paul And Spike Show Forums are open... and we've been waiting for you. Hot topics this week have included the influence of Twitter in the Iranian revolution, Susan Boyle, a phenominally amusing caption competition, and the very real possibility that one of the board members might have swine flu!

This week, the Dynamic Duo are joined by artist, art teacher and art critic Rebecca Burch from the bloggin' shop "Carpe You Some Diem" to talk art, lunatics and "The Safety Dance" video.

00:00 The Boys sift through the week's correspondence, which includes Robin's weekly stream-of-consciousness rundown of the last show, plus some more support for "M*A*S*H" and "The Empire Strikes Back" to be inducted into the Paul And Spike Show Hall Of Fame. Oooohhh, and does Paul have a not-so-secret admirer? They love getting your letters, and your Robin-style commentaries of previous shows, so keep sending them to the usual address.

14:40 When the week's news and pa-paw's moonshine collide: Pickin' And Grinnin'.

16:36 After stealing a neighbour's microphone (really!) Rebecca joins The Boys to discuss their Week In Stuff, whether one should nix a nose-picking family photograph, Paul gives a progress report on his recent model-building ...and will Mr Charley Manson Himself make an appearance? Wooooo!

36:55 With a genuine bona-fide artist in residence, it would be silly not to have an art theme for this week's Over/Under, right? You'll learn the international sound of groping, Thomas 'Kink'-aide gets slandered (not really), and who drew the chalk outline of Bob Ross on the floor...? Plus, how you can authenticate a Pollock, a deer in front of a barn in the snow, and the magical effects of the three-wolf t-shirt.

55:20 Who wins $10 to spend at shopbookexchange.com following last week's Haiku Book Review? Some alarmingly literate entries, as always, and Rebecca brings her's to the table. Keep sending them in, and maybe next week, it could be YOU who is a-winnin' ten bucks to shop at the internet's premiere used book store, shopbookexchange.com - you know where to send them; the usual address.

-----
Thanks to Rebecca for coming on and being awesome! We think you should all go buy something from the Carpe You Some Diem (damnit) store, and subscribe to her blog, ASAFP.

00:00 The show's too damn popular for its own damn good (or, they forgot to pay a bill) because some folks had trouble listening to the podcast last week and our bandwidth ran out. The Boys consider ways to pay the hefty bandwidth bill, including PBS-style pledge drives. Correspondence a-plenty from last week's show, including Robin's unmissably hilarious stream-of-consciousness commentary, and why The Boys are a bad influence on a Twitterer.

Suggestions for the Paul And Spike Show Hall Of Fame came from listener Pat, who thinks that "The Empire Strikes Back", "M*A*S*H" and chipotle sauce be inducted. What's your vote? Yay or nay on one or all? Email the show, or discuss it further in the Paul And Spike Show FaceGroup Book. Get in touch if you want to suggest some of your own, too!

20:10 The week's news gets banjo'd in "Pickin' and Grinnin'!"

22:24 This Week In Stuff! Paul discovers how his Zune becomes "a gay fun party", and Spike talks about watching a 1972 tv play about cannibalism. Also, is it really that hard to make a model kit of the Starship Enterprise? Apparently so. The Boys declare their love for Pixar, and discuss whether it's feasible to compare the hand-drawn Disney movies of yore with the CGI movies of today. Agree? Disagree? Email the show and tell 'em!

45:01 Over/Under. This week, cover versions! Those cheeky chappies who take someone else's song and do things to it. Sometimes it's good. Sometimes it's bad. What's your Over/Under on cover versions? Lettem know, yo. Get in touch if you have any rebuttals to their choices, too.

1:07:03 The Shop Book Exhange Haiku Book Review is BACK! You could win ten bucks to spend at the phenominal online used bookstore shopbookexchange.com! You could bag yourself "The Panic Broadcast", Howard Koch's excellent 1971 book about Orson Welles' infamous 'War Of The Worlds' broadcast, for example. It'll cost you a mere $2.50! So, even if you don't win, you can still feel like a winner by scoring top literature at awesome prices. Submit your book review or summary to the usual address by Wednesday June 10th.

00:00 A quick glimpse at "the second album of the century".

02:07 Aaaaaaaaand they're off. There's a quick update on whether Paul has seen Star Trek or not yet, and how Roger Ebert manages to occasionally surprise.

13:39 Drinks update: The Boys talk about why they're slurring and laughing at their own fingers. Do you drinkalongaPaulAndSpike? What do you drink? Email the show and tell 'em. Furthermore, what do you think of the suggestion for The Birthday Show? Yay or nay? Email.

22:08 In the news this week, Obama picks a supreme court nominee. The RNC (Rush/Newt/Cheney) are spitting chips about her, calling her a "reverse racist" and an "affirmative action pick", The Boys talk about whether they're right, whether a supreme court pick's background actually matters or not, and whether Judge Judy (really!) would be a better nominee.

30:47 Oh blimey, we almost forgot! Pickin' and Grinnin', in which The Boys dissect the week's news with a banjo.

33:07 This Week In Stuff! Paul's squirreled his bald head away to watch Popeye DVDs, wave farewell to his ipod and play with his new Zune, but it's a big Stuff week for Spike with two new podcasts about pirate radio on shortwave; one tremendously dry but informative, and the other - Pirates' Week - fantastically entertaining AND informative. And geeky. This leads on to a discussion about the pros and cons of shortwave radio, what (if anything) there is out there to listen to and if it's worth putting the time and effort into. Also, Apple; do they knowingly overprice their products to create a culture of wants and gots? If you're an Apple Faithful (or a reverse Apple Faithful), we'd love to hear your thoughts. Email The Boys with your insights.

1:11:33 Your input is needed for The Paul And Spike Show Hall Of Fame! What (or whom) would you like to see inducted into the PASS-HOF? And for what reason?

00:00 Drat! And double drat! Yet another week that the Paul And Spike Show sock puppet has to go back in the box. Curses! Paul is "sub-meh" thanks to allergies, but legendary blogger Marc The Film Geek joins the show to add 33% filmy goodness. Thanks to peer pressure, the boy's come prepared to run with the big dawgs. Spike ting-ting-tings his bottle/can hybrid whilst Paul And Marc discuss the relative hotness of Ariel the Sorceress off of tv's "Thundarr The Barbarian". Ye-e-e-e-e-sssss.

18:25 Pickin' And Grinnin'... And Pickin'! Marc joins The Boys in the painful pun-o-rama newsfest that covers the week in current affairs, and smells like moonshine.

20:34 This Week In Stuff, where The Boys discuss what they're "inta". Spike learned something from a documentary, Paul's having issues with death and a dirty screen and Marc has discovered a new comic book series in which a good superhero turns bad. It's no Shakespeare... but it is Irredeemable. Oh, and by the way... ceiling ghost grandma is watching you masturbate. {{shudder}}

31:40 Over/Under - Warning, ma cherie: zeese segment contains gratuitous Boyer. What with "The Feeeelm Geek" himself in town, O/U could only be about movies, right? The Boys pick '80s Movies' as their subject, and Marc thinks his Over might be a shocker! There's two movies you've probably not seen, one movie that wasn't as popular as the one that came before it, and a visit by the ice cream truck. Also: Which recent cinematic masterpiece did Spike's mum classify as "the gayest movie ever made", and does non mean non? Oui, Pepe, vous bête dégoûtante!

1:00:50 The results of last week's Haiku Book Review yields a bounty of joy from the TPASS audience who are a bunch of frighteningly smart folks. Which makes you wonder what the hell they're doing listening to THIS pile of bilge. Who wins $10 to spend at shopbookexchange.com? And what did they review? I don't know if shopbookexchange.com are having a sale, but it's two for one week at the 'Gen-X Ice Pun Shop'.

1:03:30 Marc talks about his upcoming Star Trek blog post, and Paul digs his heels in further about not seeing it. His three-word pre-review: "it looks atrocious".

-------

Marc did an awesome job. And he'll tell you that we didn't bite. If you think you'd be a good guest on the show, email the Usual Address and let us know.
