Gangrene of the Dick! The Horrifying Truth About Harvey Weinstein's Deformity
Chris and Eric start the show with a look back at some of the weird stuff they acquired during their divorces, including a bizarre musket lamp and ridiculous framed art. This leads them into an extended riff on collectible items, telemarketing scams like the Highlander coin collection, and ‘of the month’ clubs for everything from plates to film. The guys then transition to discussing old TV shows like Columbo and Twilight Zone, reflecting on how much the world has changed, especially regarding how crimes are solved and the general ‘70s aesthetic. Finally, they dive deep into the messy truth about the music business, discussing Steven Pearcy‘s generosity on tour, why paying to open for bands like Texas Hippie Coalition and Tesla is often a losing game, and the new, internet-focused approach to building a music career.02:16 - The Crazy 70s Lamp and Ex-Wife’s Stuff03:26 - Buying Used Stuff After Divorce: The Goodwill Microwave Story04:53 - The Ugly Musket Lamp and Embarrassing Bathroom Art07:11 - Susan’s Bad Online Purchases and the Mini Cat Litter Pan08:21 - Ex-Wife Took All the Photos08:52 - Highlander Commemorative Coins & VHS Tapes Scam11:47 - The Gone with the Wind Plates of the Month Club15:36 - The Film of the Month Club17:12 - Highlander Coin Collection Resale Value and Scam Shipping Fees20:26 - Columbo and Things That Have Gone by the Wayside21:50 - Columbo: One Part MacGyver, One Part Law and Order23:58 - Columbo’s Cigar and How He Got the Killer to Snap25:35 - Columbo’s Heap of Shit Car and the Pantyhose Robbers27:52 - The End of the Good Old Days for Bad Guys: DNA and the O.J.
