Bad Philosophy

Imagine you wake up tomorrow, turn on the TV as usual, and find that all the networks have turned to static. Out your window, you see a hoard of staggering, droopy-eyed zombies ambling toward you, groaning ominously for your cerebral contents. What’s your next move? Thankfully, we explore this very scenario and much more in great detail this week on BF. Kevin, Jed, and baby-loving girl Danielle join me to talk zombies, zombie movies, and planetary repopulation. So grab a shotgun, barricade yourself in a well-fortified building, and break open a can of Chunky, it’s zombocalypse time!

Numero Uno fanboy Jed brought Danielle, a [female] friend from Colorado, onto the show to talk about BABIES. You […]

We’re in a crisis today, peeps. Healthcare in the United States is whack, and everybody’s got a plan to fix it. We may not be Obama’s advisory board, but we’ll be darned if BF is gonna sit on the sidelines for this most relevant of issues. Numero Uno fanboy Jediah Cummins joined us for his first appearance alongside Matt Legler (and LO, the universe did NOT explode!). We had our crazy awesome microphone setup going once again, so hold onto your W2 form, strap on a heart monitor, and take a speed-of-light tour on the healthcare freeway – BF style!

As we enter 2009, the last year of the Noughties, we here at BF decided to do a little retrospective on the previous year, highlighting some things that piqued our interest in 2008. Not only that, we decided to make some outlandish predictions as well. If you’re still hungover from last night’s revelry, we forgive you. If not, join me, Kevin, and Jed for some laid-back BF action. We even created a resolution for once-again-absent Matt Legler, who was stuck in the middle of nowhere unfortunately. Oh, and as a New Year’s bonus, I cooked up a brand new intro. Bon appetit!
