So have we. Bad Philosophy is your one-stop fix for random musings about everything from the nature of reality to the essence of modern digital society. Every week Stephen Torrence and Kevin Saunders invite guests from greater Texas Tech to chew the cud and make some magic. The more rabbit trails the better... philosophy, random, humor, college, politics, life The Bad Philosophers The Bad Philosophers captainvalor@gmail.com no clean Episode 071: What’s in the News, Robin? http://www.badphilosophy.com/blog/2010/08/18/episode-071-whats-in-the-news-robin/ http://www.badphilosophy.com/blog/2010/08/18/episode-071-whats-in-the-news-robin/#comments Wed, 18 Aug 2010 22:04:38 +0000 StephenTorrence http://www.badphilosophy.com/blog/?p=215 For no particular reason we’ve decided to try something *BRAND NEW* on this week’s episode of Bad Philosophy. Kevin and I pulled a few articles and a comic out of the news, grabbed a couple of beers, and dove in to the stories for an hour. What came was something of a nice balance between F-isode and B-isode. We hope you agree! Here are the articles if you’d like to read them first:

1. Neil Patrick Harris expecting twins
2. SubNormality – “Do Something”
3. Beware of fake Facebook ‘dislike’ button
4. Man tries living on coupons for a year

Now that you’re prepared, have a listen!

This Week’s Post-show Song Pimpage: “The Princess Who Saved Herself” by Jonathan Coulton, part of the Many Hands album for Haiti relief. Buy this song or hell, buy the whole album. Haiti might not be in the news cycle anymore, but they still need help rebuilding. Do your part!

We’re back! Pardon the week off. We had to deal with a rather unexpected chainsaw-wielding polar bear invasion, but all is good now… except for Kevin’s leg … Anyway! This week BF took a trip to the movies, grilling Hollywood’s latest Oscar fetish, Slumdog Millionaire with first-time guest Eric Braden. We also delved deep into the realm of free will vs. determinism, where Eric and I pulled no punches in our quest to disprove the other. Oh, and the audio was FRAKKING AMAZING if I do say so myself. Enjoy, peeps!

This week neither panelist woes nor audio troubles nor the relentless Lubbock wind could keep us from recording BF. Numero Uno fanboy Jed brought Danielle, a [female] friend from Colorado, onto the show to talk about BABIES. You know… those cute, pink little flesh-wads that scream and crap a lot? Of course, we took some very BF detours, and we swear we didn’t let Kevin talk the whole time (really). So put on a diaper, slam an adrenaline shot into your heart, and crank up the Barry Manilow. It’s time to BF!
