82: Dad Boner
Jon starts off by talking about Magnolia. Lex talks about Neil Flynn and West Wing. Moltz talks about The Martian. Jon's vote for best 3D movie goes to The Edge of Tomorrow. This is a movie podcast, right? Jon took a trip down the Green River as a kid but it wasn't this Green River. Moltz's dad claims to have been one of the first people to drive on The New Jersey Turnpike. Lex talks about Randy Pausch's last lecture. Lex not actually so fondly remembers Guess Who...
81: 17 Inches of Dangling Hell
We start out by talking about names. Lex's kids all happen to have analogs in the Joss Whedon universe. Sierra was almost Sienna if not for Sienna Miller. One of Jon's daughters is kind of named after character in The Wire. Apropos of nothing, we're all fans of Daniel Craig. Lex recounts the premise of Grandfathered which, other than looking at John Stamos, is not great. Our thanks this week to Mack Weldon...

79: Lex's Sleep Patterns
This week we kick it off by trying to figure out if our kids have any idea what it is we do. We also catch up on the school year to date. We also talk about homework. And we don't really have any links for this. Our thanks this week to Mack Weldon. Mack Weldon makes fucking glorious underwear to hold your bits in the way they deserve and we know this because we're wearing it right fucking now. It is awesome stuff...
78: GWAR
We start by talking about Ahmed Mohamed, the teen charged for bringing a clock to school. Moltz got several of the details wrong, but Florida teen Kiera Wilmot was not as fortunate. The mayor of the town where Ahmed Mohamed goes to school is very concerned about Sharia law. We then ask the important questions like "At what age should you teach your kids about Gwar?" Our thanks this week to Loot Crate, a monthly subscription box service for epic geek items...
77: Back in Time
Lex is away this week so first Jon and Moltz discuss the new iPad Pro, Apple TV and iPhones because they have apparently forgotten the theme of this podcast. Apple's new upgrade program looks pretty good. Then the trailer for a new documentary on "Back to the Future" causes them to... go back in time and reminisce about classic receivers and stereo equipment. Our thanks this week to Mack Weldon...
76: Nobody Has Sex in Pennsylvania
This week we tell our car stories. Sponsor Loot Crate is giving away THE MOST IMPORTANT OBJECT IN THE UNIVERSE. Is that The Glaive or The Infinity Guantlet? California is requiring self-driving vehicles have manual controls. Jon fondly remembers his VW Rabbit. Moltz loved his mom's Saab 900 and his dad's BMW 2002. His Acura Integra got stolen once. Lex will not drive the baby sitter home lest he go through what Homer Simpson did...
75: Very Real, Very Estate
Jonathan Mann and Lex did a duet. One of Jon's old places had vermiculite in it. Moltz's area has toxic soil!

74: Scared Straight-ish
Here's the reading for the day: Most Parenting Advice Is Worthless, So Here's Some Parenting Advice." Here's a good book on minimalist parenting called "Minimalist Parenting". So, take it easy and learn to play craps with your kid. Jon recently enjoyed some quality time with his daughter playing the Lego Movie game. The parents in this YouTube video are not spending quality time with their daughters. It's like Scared Straight but much more horrible. Lex's daughter is a fan of the Hopscotch app...
73: Illegalize It
Hey, kids, who wants drugs?! Lex has apparently seen White Men Can't Jump which is weird. Lex took his kids to Diggerland and they did not do drugs there. Jon and Lex recommend Super High Me. Probably not for the kids, though. Set a good example for your kids by eating broccoli in front of them. But not cauliflower. Our thanks this week to James Patterson. A reluctant reader himself and the father of a reluctant reader, Patterson advocates getting kids into books by listening to them...
