Join MP, J(dot)biz and Yacht Rot Mike for a magical half hour of silliness.

Turn on your late 70s FM filter to listen properly.

Episode 59: Prickly Fork Tine
This week’s episode is a masters course in topical joke writing. Don’t get the wrong idea, we don’t give you examples of good jokes but rather we show you exactly what not to do. This is a very important lesson that will be as valuable to you as learning your multiplication tables. You may want to escort all of the crickets in the room away before pressing play.

What’s worse than having a jet airliner jammed up your ass? Listening to these three talk about Dave Matthews Band’s “Satellite”, what constitutes Middle Eastern food and pall bearing. …And they come into yoooouuuuu.
Episode 57: Crimean Heaven
Have you ever heard some jokes written while under the influence of chemo therapy? You can answer “yes” to that question as soon as you hit play but first you may want to hop into a bath and call your mom for some honesty before booking your trip on the Titanic II. Put some ice into your drink and get impregnated with Slights of the Roundtable!

While you’re just sitting around the house with your slice of Chicago-style deep dish pizza you might as well click play and listen to this week’s episode. There are jokes about men getting killed by swans, Dick Clark’s demise and George Zimmerman posting bail. Pretty sunny material for us. Listen to us be Jamaican.
