OSNAP #30: Mmmm… Popeyes

Posted on April 17, 2013

OSNAP: Mmmm… Popeyes
Before diving into poop and looking at porn, Merrill kicks off the show by sharing his utter confusion at a pleasant compliment at work. Kevin agrees that is terribly confusing, and he assures Merrill he will never confuse him that way again. Kevin then reminisces on his more-than 10-year career writing about movies. In the middle segment, things take a serious turn when Kevin launches into a rant about rape culture and what he characterizes as the collision of the bystander effect and reality TV. But don’t worry because things lighten up again at the end when they skewer Justin Bieber and check out some wacky news stories, with topics that include orgasmic fried chicken and whether size really does matter. Oh, snap!

OSNAP #29: Worst. Jedi. Ever.

Posted on April 10, 2013

OSNAP: Worst. Jedi. Ever.
This week, in a desperate attempt to not talk about his knob and how it relates to An Idiot Abroad, Merrill steers the conversation towards his novel writing and failure to ride (or rather stop riding) a bike. Kevin still steers the direction of conversation to a rather embarrassing area when he comes up with a homoerotic superhero team for him and Merrill. Later, Kevin contemplates whether the size of a man’s knob has anything to do with him going commando, then later rages about Arby’s ridiculous menu rules for it’s new Mighty Minis. Then they stumble through some wacky news stories about body parts in other body parts as well as the latest flavored condom. Oh, snap!
