Segment City Episode 19 - Ye Olde Ghostbusters

When there doth be something peculiar in thy fine burg, who should thoust beckon? Ye olde Ghostbusters! In this spoooky lead up to Halloween, the boys talk about getting overcooked by a cannibal, loving a robo dog, having pets that talk for a million dollars, WoW Classic as a case study in game design, how quality of life fixes change a game, Lebron James’ ridiculous attempted trademark on Taco Tuesday, and the Hammersmith Ghost murder case which asks,”Is it ok to murder someone if you thought they were a ghost”?

Segment City Episode 18 - I Could Make a Goosebumps!

R.L. Stine may be a prolific children’s horror author, but that doesn’t mean that all of his work is good. Along with his whimsical tales featuring scares and life lessons are stories in which the protagonist must endure endless torment for one mistake. What I am saying is that R.L. Stine has gone crazy from writing too many children’s books and he needs someone to take over his mantle. We here at Segment City will take up this challenge… some other time. This week, Theo and Will talk about the “Magnificent 7” remake, eating a whole loaf of bread, cotton candy flavored grapes, an AI chatbot that makes stories from phrases, the new hit game show “You Choose, Spiderman!” where you choose between Mary Jane and a bus full of kids, Vape Hero, the first part of “The Absurdity of Life” about a man named Pete moving into an apartment with a strange roommate, the top 3 worst Goosebumps books! (“Go Eat Worms”, “Beware the Purple Peanut Butter”, “Chicken Chicken”)

Segment City Episode 17 - "A Gronking to Remember"

Nobody truly knows how strong Rob Gronkowski is. He once threw a football into the air and it still hasn’t come down. They say he can make grown men and women faint with just a look. It is easy to believe that someone would become so infatuated with this football man that they would write an entire erotica about him. His power knows no bounds. This week, the boys talk about Reese’s Pieces vs. Peanut Butter M&Ms, the best candy, Lost in Translation: What literal translations of common sayings in other languages mean, Which of these Animals Farts?, and a new edition of Amazon Erotica featuring famous football man Rob Gronkowski in A Gronking to Remember and A Gronking to Remember 2: Chad Goes Deep in the Neutral Zone.

Segment City Episode 16 - Geese: Nazis of the Animal Kingdom

There was a lot of competition for “Most Nazi-esque Animal”. Snakes, wasps, etc. but they could not compete with the pure ferocity of the goose. Their authoritative honk, their hatred of outsiders, their over confident waddle. I mean, Nazis would “Goose step” for gosh sake! This week, Theo and Will discuss Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, if snakes are jealous of lizards, if we would become fake vampires for a million dollars, news of Texas accidentally legalizing marijuanna, what do Skepta’s rap lyrics mean, and the best and worst craft beer names (spoiler, the worst ones are named after body parts and bodily waste)

Segment City Episode 15 - “Happy Bat Day, Birth-man!”

Is he a man that gives birth? Does he help others give birth? Is he the patron saint of birthdays? Whatever he is, I don’t want his help. And bat days definitely involve some kind of bat based food, I know it. This week, the boys talk about weird happens during Will’s camping trip to Acadia National Park, if dogs like perfume, Olive Garden’s lifetime pasta pass, the origins of the “Then Perish” meme featuring President Obama, a Batman comic written by an AI, and another installment of Amazon Erotica!

Segment City Episode 14 - Which Pokemon is Tastiest?

It’s gotta be Magicarp, right? Or Tauros? I know there is a Pokemon that is literally an ice cream cone. Does it scream when you lick it? OK, this is getting a little dark for a comedy show. This week, the boys talk about the pacer test, some listener submitted segments (submitted to segmentcitypodcast@gmail.com) called “Wait, that person was in that?” about actors who you didn’t know where in your favorite things, and “Someone had to approve this” about weird moments in movies, games, etc that somehow got through into the final product. Also this week, Will has a gross stupid thought, Theo gets mad about how people prepare cereal, we tell the story of President John Qunicy Adams’ search for Mole people, we discuss weird Pokemon names and the ultimate question of “Which Pokemon tastes best?”

Segment City Episode 13 - Workplace Fart Etiquette

My favorite Shakespeare quote is “To fart in the middle of Accounting because you hate Janet, or not to fart in Accounting because Janet will probably call HR if you do that again.” He had such a way with words.This week, Will and Theo talk about Shark furries, the new (at the time) Marvel announcements, the etiquette for farting at work, terrible corporate catchphrases (from PBS, Sheboygan, Bud Lite, Dr. Pepper, UPS) and a game of Conspiracy Query with conspiracies based on the theme of “There is no such thing as ___”.

Segment City Episode 12 - The Serial Toilet Clogger

One man. Many toilets. One very strange crime. Tonight on Segment City: Toilet Victims Unit, the stakes couldn’t get higher! Well, as high as the rim of the toilet bowls this weird criminal is clogging. This week on the podcast, Will and Theo talk about having funny passwords and not being able to talk about them, the story of Eddie the Eagle, the creator of America’s favorite (and Theo’s least favorite) utensil: the spork, a special “What does this rap lyric mean?” using E-40’s song “Choices (Yup)”, and a news report about a serial toilet clogger in Sheboygan, WI.

Segment City Episode 11 - "You're nothing but a Banbury cheese!"

Hey everyone, it’s Will. I love Theo, but sometimes that guy can be such Zounderkite Spatherdab Fustilug of a Banbury cheese. Hopefully he doesn’t read the description of this episode. This week, the boys talk about Will’s Yoda collection, being palette swaps of yourself if you wear the same clothes in a different color, peeing when you get your photo taken, wearing diapers, the real life tale of a woman marrying a ghost pirate, Victorian era insults, and AI generated cat names!

Segment City Episode 10 - What if Kramer was a Transformer?

What’s the deeeeaaal with Starscream’s name? Doesn’t he know that stars can’t scream? We’ll be here all week. Also we swear this isn’t being sponsored by Pepto-Bismol, That being said, hey Pepto, how you doin? 

 

This week Will and Theo talk about Disney’s Twisted Wonderland, the Australian Emu War, Will’s book report on “The Picture of Dorian Gray”, the worst Transformers including Horrible, Ratbat, Reflector, and Mindwipe, as well as the greatest crossover in media history: Transformers crossed with Seinfeld!
