This week Adam and Jon talk to their good friend and old roommate Lantz. He is a funny person, and he adds his unique point of view to the stuck up and stuffy podcast that Adam and Jon run. His new free-wheeling ways upset the establishment and he is thrown out for being too “real”. But, banding together with his new pal Rowdy Roddy Piper, Lantz gets set to take over the airwaves with his own brand of realism. Through a hilarious romp-ridden musical montage Lantz takes over the studio from the oppressors. Jon and Adam end up with pies in their faces, and a Tears for Fears song plays as the kids win!! Yay! Also, Donkey Lips is still alive, I repeat, Donkey Lips is still alive. Episode Player, Download Links and more after the break!

This is the inaugural episode of Born in the Eigthes. Originally recorded in December of 2010, I finally got off of my lazy ass to put this thing together. This is “patient zero” if you will, of a show I do with my best friend, every week. Think of it as if you were a fly on the wall of a room full of 2 people talking about complete bullshit, but since you are a fly, you don’t see that spider crawling behind you, and you are devoured. That is Born in the Eighties in a Nutshell.

Hey, as part of a monthly writing assignment, I am going to be doing what I do best, and that is writing scenes. These excercises can be found here, feel free to join in! Here is the first one I have cooked up for May. It is based off of a song title from the “They Might be Giants” album Apollo 18. You can read the scene after the break. Let me know what you think.
