Does the sports media favor white athletes?

Rodimus Prime and Evan Barnes join the show to discuss the sports media’s attitudes towards race.  The discussion begins with a debate about whether Steve Nash deserved his two MVP awards.  We also discuss the media’s raging hardon for the whitest black quarterback ever, Tim Tebow, and white college basketball stars such as Adam Morrison and Jimmer Fredette.  The conversation concludes with an analysis of Bill Simmons’ latent disrespect for black athletes.

Extinction Level Event

The world’s baddest influence, Tyree Hudson, joins the show to discuss the concept of extinction.  We discuss the extinction of animals and other things that aren’t exactly "living," like oil, retirement, newspapers and cursive handwriting.

Also, mizChartreuse’s stance on extinction surprises the fuck out of bokeen, and Tyree Hudson announces a major project that he is working on for release in 2012.

bokeen’s Ratchetclass: The NBA is back!

Tyler Conium and Rodimus Prime join the first episode of bokeen’s solo podcasting project to commemorate the end of the NBA lockout.  We begin by arguing about whether the players or owners were at fault for the lockout, and discussing if the lockout left each of us salty.  Next, we talk about how the time off will affect the conditioning of the players and the impending madness of a condensed free agency period complete with an amnesty clause.  We close the show giving our outlook for each NBA team, while cracking jokes along the way.  30 teams multiplied by three dudes equals over 90 jokes.  There is no better value in podcasting.

Thankfulcast

To commemorate the Thanksgiving holiday, bokeen ate a few Xanax in order to dial the ratchetness down a bit as we discuss the things that we are thankful for.  mizChartreuse waxes poetic about overcoming challenges (she just ran an 8K) and her ethereal experiences in Chicago. bokeen reflects on being in an interracial relationship and the state of the music business.

In addition, bokeen made his predictions of what albums the elderly twats at the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences will nominate for Best Rap Album later this week:

"Watch the Throne" by Jay-Z and Kanye West
"My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" by Kanye West
"Tha Carter IV" by Lil Wayne
"Take Care" by Drake
"Hell: The Sequel" by Bad Meets Evil
"Lasers" by Lupe Fiasco (alternate)

Why is everyone allergic to everything?

Our official health correspondent The Rob Show joins the show to talk about how he lost 400 pounds and answer our questions about allergies.  What exactly are allergies?  Why are so many people suddenly allergic to peanuts?  Are people who are allergic to gluten actually just pussies?  Does the fact that people are allergic to grass mean that we have devolved as a species?  Rob answers all of these questions and compares one’s immune system to Nazi Germany in this educational episode of Consumption Junction.

For our listeners, by our listeners, part II

In part two of our first ever feedback show, we talk about bokeen’s racist comments, the Klout hustle, social media etiquette, asshole from the north side of Chicago, why the n-word is the king of all slurs, and, our course, Oprah.  We wrap up the show with a look at how race factors into the rise of both Herman Cain and Tim Tebow, and mizChartreuse brings bokeen to tears by bringing up the NBA lockout.

Cleanin’ out our closet: For our listeners, by our listeners, part I

In our first ever feedback show, we respond to questions and comments from our loyal listeners, the Consumption Junkies.  We talk about the reaction to our Race Trades episode, the planning and production process for shows, maintaining a balance between ratchet and reason, shows that were never published and Bill Cosby.  Also, bokeen reveals the humiliating origin of his nickname.  

We didn’t get through all of the emails, comments and voicemails that came in, so look for part two in the next few days.

Social media: the good, the bad and the ugly

Tyler Conium joins the show as we talk about the good, bad and ugly elements of social networking.  We begin by discussing Klout scores and why they are an irrelevant measure of popularity that makes Twitter like high school.  We also chat about relentless self-promoters, the inherent desperation in tweeting at celebrities, and the unwelcome appearance of Mittens Romney in bokeen’s "Who to Follow" list.

We failed to reach a consensus that any of these elements were "good," so we plan to have Tyler back on soon to continue the conversation.

Much like his countryman Justin Bieber, Tyler Conium lost his virginity in a restroom inside of Staples Center.  You can follow him on Twitter at @tylerconium.
