Ep. 4.02- Ford Taurus of Solitude

In our ever-vigilant endeavors to present to you, Dear Listener, the finest in comedic podcastery and robust jackassery, Lars upgrades Catbus Headquarters for another exciting episode. And you'll be so deeply relieved, Dear Loyal Listener, that we FINALLY address the second half of Cyndi Lauper's mega-opus musical video, "The Goonies R All Right". Come on off that ledge, friend, the Spitz are gonna make it all better. Also in this episode, Lars shares what he knows about super heroes emerging in Seattle (which immediately prompts James into planning for a career in super-villainy), Erik and James throw metaphorical wrenches at each others' points, and James takes us through another round of Star Wars Mad Libs. It's another exciting adventure and maybe we'll even find out where One Eyed Willie's gold really is.

Ep. 4.01 - Downright Sicilian

We recorded some podcast material that was pure gold... and then we realized it wasn't recording...

And that's where our new episode begins! Hello, loyal fans, it's your handsome hero James here. Welcome to what we are evidently calling Season 4! Hooray!!! Our new podcast opens with Erik informing me that the awesome podcast we thought we had going had not recorded at all. Listen as I take that news poorly. That's right, it's an Erik and James episode!



But that's not all! On this week's show we also talk about other local podcasts we enjoy, the construction happening at Thundergoat Studios, giggling, and the true meaning of the words "CHERRY SPITZ" [Spoiler Alert: It's a lie]. Plus Black Rob shows up to pose another insightful question in a segment we're apparently calling "Rob & a Hard Place."

Download the new episode right over here: Downright Sicilian






Music breaks provided by HORSE the Band, Primus, Oingo Boingo and The Dead Kenny Gs. Plus we have a BRAND NEW THEME SONG by hip hop superstar and friend of the group Rocom.

This episode's topics include the beautiful and endangered pinball machine, the Street Fighter versus Mortal Kombat argument, the top movies of 2010, Steinbeck breastfeeding scenes, and names that sound like genitals.

Ep. 3.11 - 2010 Holiday Leftovers: Part 1

2010 is over and we need to clear out our inventory, so we're bringing back the Holiday Leftover series with chunks of audio from the previous year that didn't make it into a full episode. It's primarily Spitz members James, Erik and Kat with regular guests Black Rob and The Dude Von Doom. We talk MC Chris, Compton, Predator, Black Dynamite, Bubba The Love Sponge, Jurassic Park, 90s Warner Brothers Cartoons and argue over which 16-bit system didn't show blood on their copy of Mortal Kombat.

Lots of music and audio drops!

See you soon with part 2 and some announcements regarding actual live shows!

Ep. 3.10 - Aquachicken

Cherry Spitz wishes you a Happy Hangover Day on this joyous 1-1-11! And to nurse those dogs barking in your head, how about listening to us yapping and howling about all the nonsense 2010 brought us.

In the aftermath of Christmas carnage, the gang gets together to lick their egg-nog induced wounds. In this installment we hear from Kat, Matt, James, myself, and special guest brother Kjel from some damn bay area hippy town up north.

Here's a picture of him in his Sunday best.



Kjel recounts exciting stories from up north featuring his work in semi-urban amateur taxidermy and trap setting. Yes, folks, we're going deep into the psyche of a dangerously unstable individual. Also, James introduces a new bit based on everyone's favorite Star Wars about libs what are mad. Sorry, it hard to type- there's an owl in my brain and it won't stop hooting.
