Episode #4- Board games/ Table top games

Guess who?!  Rock, Scissors and Paper shuffle the deck, roll the die, and spin the wheel to bring you their latest topic.  Their talk may seem trivial.  Does Scissors have a clue?  Is there a mastermind among them?  Are they all in jeopardy?  Never fear.  Paper is willing to take the risk, and Rock has a strategy.  This operation is finely tuned and ready to man the battleships as they to settle into any topic and taboo.  Let them monopolize your time.

Game time- World Music Chart

Rock asks Scissors and Paper to name well known bands and their country of origin.  Don't repeat the same country two turns in a row!  How far can Scissors and Paper carry this game?!  Oh, how many they missed!  How about letting them know of their oversights in the comment area below.  


Dumpster Dives-

Well, the dumpster is full of wonderful surprises this week.  There's a movie, a magazine, and a card game.  Paper invades the dumpster and comes back with "Attack the Block."  Take note!  Scissors says "Found Magazine" does just that.  And, keeping with the game theme of this week, Rock deals out some "Hanafuda" cards.   


(stay tuned for episode 5 where they'll taste test interesting foods and give immediate reactions.)

Episode 3- Life Hacks

Episode #3- Life Hacks

Join Rock, Scissors and Paper as they discuss and discover some things that might make your measly existence easier.  They cover food; how to dip cookies, how to soften cookies, and how to make a white trash dipping sauce.  Sometimes actually getting the food is difficult.  So listen to their tips about; how using chopsticks to avoid cheesy residue, how a cheese grater can help you distribute rock hard butter, how a tennis ball can open that sticky jar, how food scissors have lots of uses, and how a tree (or a shoe) might help you uncork that wine bottle.  While on the subject of alcohol, well, listen to a way to avoid drunkenness as well as some useful tips for some leftover vodka.  They have some non food related hacks that briefly involve knives, notebook, car doors, gaff tape, hockey tape, tampons, and acupressure- in no specific order.

Game time- Movie link

Take the last word of a title from a movie.  Now think of another movie title that uses that last work as its first word.  Now, put them together.  For example:  Star Wars + War of the Roses = Star War of the Roses.  Now, see how long you can go.

How about "Spider Man on Fire in the Sky High School High Time Cop and Half?"

Dumpster Dives-

What did our fearless podcasters pull out of the dumpster for you this week?  Well Scissors recommends a re-imagined version of The Avengers comic; The Ultimates.  Paper suggests you take a half hour away from their podcast to listen to the very funny Judge John Hodgman Podcast, and Rock springboards off of Hodgman to suggest an HBO series called Bored to Death. 


(stay tuned for episode 4 where they'll take on the topic of board games.)

Episode #2 (part 2)- games and dumpster dives

Finally it's game time!

Game time- Musicians in Movies

Rock's pick for a game is to have Paper and Scissors name musicians who have acted in movies, but not as musicians. . . they hit on the Rat Pack, the Rap pack, Cher, Madonna, and MJ. . . to name a few.  They surely missed some big players, so let them know!

Dumpster Dives-

Rock, Paper and Scissors crawl out of the dumpster with a few things clinging to them.  Limbo, an eerie and darkly atmospheric video game starts it off.  The next stop is the movie, Conan the Barbarian.  Lastly, we end up at Basilica di San Clemente in Rome.

Episode #2 (part 1)- Things we miss

Episode 2- Things we miss

This one ran long, so it's been split into two parts for easier listening.

While living abroad, Rock, Paper and Scissors discuss things they miss from home.  First they ruminate and salivate over foods they miss: CHEESE, Mexican food, doughnuts and assorted baked goods, sandwiches, cereal, chips, candy, Mac n Cheese, and fast food.  Eventually they move on to other things like the feeling of isolation, driving, quiet shopping and ocean views.  

Towards the end they do a quick U-turn to discuss things they don't miss and things that are done better in other places.  Think transportation. . . tipping. . . and bathrooms.   

If you're wondering what will happen during the game and dumpster dives, check back later for part 2!
