OSNAP #15: That’s Why They Invented Bathtubs
OSNAP: That’s Why They Invented Bathtubs
Well, the end of the world didn’t happen, so you’re stuck with the OSNAP gang for at least another Mayan b’ak’tun. As the new year kicks off, Kevin and Merrill reflect on 2012 and the changes that happened, like puberty in a pimply teenager. Merrill looks back on his struggles, and Kevin personally blames Merrill for the death of Jesus. Kevin tells some stories about traveling to his grandmother’s funeral over the break and how the culture of the area is just a bit different up the mountain. He also bemoans the ridiculous liquor laws in Pennsylvania that promote alcoholism more than prevent teenagers from buying beer. They also talk a little bit about poop and farts, too. Oh, snap!

OSNAP #12: I Yuv Big F*cks
OSNAP: I Yuv Big F*cks
Kevin and Merrill celebrate Hanukkah in the Magical Studio in the Sky by examining how much energy it takes to be Anti-Semitic. They also talk about the insane amount of energy that is needed to keep up with online drama and coordinate an “Elf of the Shelf” campaign for kids. All of this leads to the discovery that Kevin and Merrill are such nice guys because they are just too damn lazy to officially hate anyone or any group. They also look ahead to Award Season by talking about the multitude of “For Your Consideration” screeners that Kevin has received, and this leads Kevin to focus all of his lazy hatred on Judd Apatow and his latest film, This Is 40. There’s a brief apology to some loyal listeners for skimping on the stories about poop, porn and drunkenness. There’s also a revelation as to why Kevin’s youngest son swears so much. Oh, snap!
