The Great Blizard of 2011
The No Name Show crew is still digging out from the Great Arctic Blast of 2011, but we're still here to put on a show for you, the listener. Right off the bat we had The Ed on the show talking about some of the great deals he got at a recent garage sale amongst other things. We discussed the insane weather here in Skagit Valley over the last week, gave out the Douche of the Week award, Fun with Words, etc. Then we announced the first 8 match ups for the 2011 Hero Tourney and ended the show with a list of 7 Superheroes That Never Were.

Vertically Striped Radio - Episode 98 - 02-26-11



Carmelo Anthony has been traded away from Denver, and Craig finds himself liking the Nuggets again. To celebrate his new kindled love for his NBA team, he goes over all manner of random topics with Face Ventura and The Whale in Episode 98. The boys discuss breast milk ice cream, proposing at a baseball stadium, and Vampire Hippos just to name a few odd topics covered in this show.

This show was the premiere of the "Something to think about" segment, in which we cover a bunch of random topics with pretty much zero structure...perfect segment for the VSR horde. (Oh, and if you see a dead cat, take a picture for Craig's new calendar.)

Craig also ticketed a few deserving wankers, including Carmelo Anthony...although not for turning his back on Denver.

Craig finished up with a quick discussion of his Oscar picks. Face Ventura seemed rather unpleased that a movie centered around Mickey Ward was up for an Oscar, and snuck in a tiny bit of boxing talk at the wire as a result. Craig did his best to nip that sort of thing in the bud immediately. We finished off with a music recommendation of the song "Rio" by Hey Marseilles.

The History of Christian Rock and Roll

Finally, we'll run down our Top 7 Christian Rock groups of all time. This is a can't miss show or anyone who likes good music, Christian or otherwise.

Vertically Striped Radio - Episode 97
Clowns being elected and presidents rapping! It was was an exciting day politically on Vertically Striped Radio, Even as Craig faced the gloomy proposition of a weekend of painting. Face, Craig and The Whale discussed all manner of goofiness like the city of Detroit changing their football team name to "The RoboCops" and who is more objectionable PETA or the Westboro Baptist Terror Cell and Craig handed out all sorts of yellow and red cards to deserving wankers including a "Very Special" card to uncertainty. We spent the second hour discussing the very odd 1979 cult classic "The Warriors" with Tony Grese a.k.a. 18nalax. The show wrapped up with a music recommendation of Home by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros.

Vertically Striped Radio - Episode 96 - 02-12-11



The city of Fort Wayne is building a new city center, and the possible new name for it had Craig in a tremendous mood for the show. Although the Harry Baals Government Center is a long shot, here's hoping. Face and the Whale were on hand as we discussed the discomfort of shopping at Wal-Mart before extensively breaking down the Magnificent Seven of the Top Seven Secondary Simpsons characters.

Craig had a quick edition of the Week in Wankery, and then signed off with a music recommendation of "A Girl and a Graveyard" by James Germain and the Grey Grey Days. Today's show was brought to you in part by a grant from Mike Dow. Remember kids, "Beware of Dow".

Vertically Striped Radio - Episode 95 - 02-09-11

Random Alert! This podcast contains a conspiracy theory about a Super Bowl performance, The Ed going off on a number of things including how he has determined that I am now permanently a Packers fan instead of a Broncos fan (not true), a girl who needed a bath because she had glue in her hair, and a music recommendation of the song "Lost and Running" by Powderfinger. Is there a common bond between these things? Only that they all comprise Episode 95 of Vertically Striped Radio. Enjoy!

Vertically Striped Radio - Episode 94 - 02-05-11

With the Super Bowl only a day away, Craig was excited for the Steelers and Packers to get things started in Dallas, so the first hour was football heavy. We did a Tale of the Tape of very scientific things between the Packers such as age of franchise, songs associated with the teams, and even compared the quality of the respective parrot fans for each team. You know, all the items which point towards the correct winning team.

After some intense discussion of the Super Bowl intangibles, Craig, Face, and the Whale discussed who should be considered the most dominant dynasty in professional football history. After much discussion, Craig unveiled his surprising but defensible choice for the winner: The Cleveland Browns. Trust me.

The second hour was dominated by the He-Man Movie Watchers Club discussion of "The Big Lebowski". We ended the day with a music recommendation of Bruce Cockburn's "Wondering Where the Lions Are."

(And a little bonus of Lil' Wayne performing "Green and Yellow"; Not because it's a good song, but because it will hopefully bring some luck to the Pack come Super Sunday.)

Major Minority Report - Episode 29 - 02-01-11



Tonight's show featured fan favorite, Security Guy Irv. Other than that... it featured general mediocrity, dullness, and lack of appeal... and that's all before we even started talking!

Vertically Striped Radio - Episode 93 - 02-01-11




Vertically Striped Radio - Episode 93
Craig, Face and Nalax get together on Skype for a VSR quickie. We start out on a random course that encompasses NBA basketball, Craig’s sports depression, and Southeast division hockey. Things take a turn for the better once we start to discuss the next movie for the He-Man Movie Watchers Club which magically turns into discussing fat guys in Boba Fett costumes, chimps on ice, and the Most Vertical Primate. After the preliminaries, we play a rousing round of, “Would you rather?” with only one minimal period of technical difficulties interrupting a varied and sometimes controversial set of dilemmas to discuss where we learn that Nalax and Face hate babies. The show finishes up with a brief visit from “Post-production Craig” who tacked on a music recommendation from Daniel Kamus, the song is called, "Fortune and Fear".
