I really don’t think you’re strong enough, no. Regardless, love remains the primary subject in pop music. Even unpop music, for that matter. This week, we explore that love connection, its lyrical and social convolutions, auto-tunage, and its t

Would you perjure yourself for a friend?

Apr 9th, 2017 25m 17s

I’m not asking for me, I swear. I would never put you in a position to compromise our friendship. Prison will be full of new lifelong mates. No, just tell the jury what really happened, and I’m sure you’ll have no trouble finding another match

Which childhood characters do you want to see all grown up?

Apr 9th, 2017 26m 51s

Sesame Street is now on HBO. Though the program content isn’t supposed to change, it does force us to consider the adult problems of Bert and Ernie or the diabetic issues of Cookie Monster.Some images above may have been modified and used via

Why don’t we just Netflix and chill?

Apr 9th, 2017 30m 20s

How casual sexuality has gotten in online dating age. Increase in VD. Are we ancients just envious?

Would you define your heritage with a vice?

Apr 9th, 2017 21m 25s

St. Patrick’s Day has come and gone, and with it the temporary championing of Irishness and the drunkenness that–mostly likely unfairly–defines the irish heritage, at least to us Americans who will jump at any chance to commandeer another count

Does anybody really know what time it is?

Apr 9th, 2017 21m 51s

Does anybody really care? Sure, it helps us catch that flight to North Korea (don’t forget to set your watch back 100 years), but it also costs you a fortune in daycare overtime and gave rise to Flava Flav fashions. We scienced the shit out of

Can I get an amen?

Apr 9th, 2017 25m 5s

We’re talking blind faith. Binary belief. A true-false dichotomy that leads and bleeds to a true faith lobotomy. Is blind faith healthy? Is faith generally useful? In summary, can we get an amen?Some images above may have been modified and use

Are you a cop?

Apr 9th, 2017 21m 23s

Today we talk social justice warriors, vigilantes, and the dangers (and joys) of taking the law into your own hands. Anything you listen to can, and will, be used against you in a court of law.

Would you like fries with that?

Apr 9th, 2017 21m 37s

For careerists, it’s a question better answered than asked. Nearly rhetorical today, these six words that tempt even the healthiest among us. Ah, screw it; it’s your cheat decade. This week, we unsnap our top buttons and get the skinny on compe

Why would you be awfully famous?

Feb 6th, 2016 25m 27s

How far would you go for fame? Would you be willing to kill a person? Or worse, would you be willing to…well, killing is pretty bad, so I’ll leave it at that for now. But surely there are other unthinkable horrors one could commit for the purpo

Can you believe what happened next?

Ha, made you look! Get clicky and learn about listicle evils, sponsored content, and other obstacles to finding your kitten memes at the end of the browser rainbow. Brawndo: It’s got what plants crave.

Who ya gonna call?

Jan 19th, 2016 22m 54s

Oh, them freaky ghosts. Even freakier, the paranormal investigators who seek to bust them (it makes them feel good, apparently). If there’s something strange in your neighborhood, who you gonna call? And what exactly was Slimer before he died,

Would you rather give up all television/film or your literacy?

Jan 13th, 2016 20m 45s

Weer gud reeders and righters, but if remaining literate meant never again experiencing the joys of the moving image (e.g., porn), would we kill our TVs, or burn our useless library cards? Thankfully, neither is a prerequisite for hosting podca

Was it really that good?

Jan 5th, 2016 43m 34s

Oh, what a wonderful year 2015 was. We were all a bit more innocent back then, weren’t we? Just thinking about it makes me happy and strangely makes me want to hoard unopened action figures and pristine snap bracelets.Childhood was a carefree

Would you go on a celebrity pilgrimage?

Dec 29th, 2015 20m 18s

Traveling for religious purposes. People do it all the time. Overweight white people visit Elvis’ grave. Boring English students find time for Yeats’ grave in Ireland (full disclosure, I fit into this group). Chaucer depicted a rag-tag group of

Would the world be better if superheroes existed?

Dec 15th, 2015 24m 15s

Imagine a world of real-life capes walking and flying among us. Could they be trusted with such power? What might that mean for the world’s religions? Does this sequined corset make me look fat? This week we unmask and debate everything from bi

Would you be homeless for a year to end world hunger? (ep 38)

Dec 1st, 2015 22m 32s

About one in nine people on earl don’t have enough food to lead a healthy lifestyle. That sounds awful. But consider this staggering statistic. 100% of Important Question? Podcast hosts have too much home to be considered homeless. What if we c

Would you clone yourself?

Nov 17th, 2015 24m 29s

Nature. Nurture. Evolution. Eugenics. They’re not just excellent stripper names, they’re critical considerations when deciding whether the universe needs more yous. Strap in and hold onto your chromosomes as we debate the Multiplicity effect.

Which animal would you endanger?

Nov 3rd, 2015 23m 43s

Don’t worry, Earth. The Sonoran Desert Tortoise is no longer endangered. And to think, just when this animal was so close to living out its final wish to no longer have to suffer the life of a Sonoran Desert Tortoise. Oh well, maybe next lifeti

Would you go to prison?

Oct 27th, 2015 21m 16s

The slammer. The big house. Club Fed. A 6×9’ cage to contemplate the error of your ways while your cellmate eyebangs you like a hyena. Yep, you’re somebody’s bitch now, convict. But it didn’t have to be this way. You’re not even supposed to be

How can we make candy more threatening?

Oct 13th, 2015 22m 42s

Candy has quite the positive association for many of us. Easter hunts, grandma’s glass coffee table bowl, and of course Halloween. Unfortunately, candy has been roped into some pretty nasty things as well, most recently we’ve been re-awakened t
