Jeremy and Erik start podcasting at 1:30am with talking about MULE and their Mountain Wumpus Hunter group and ask that YOU join. This leads to talking about FaceBook spam via groups. The conversation then leads to the future of social networking and friend scavenger hunts and also what is your criteria for a social networking friend. Jeremy talks about pen pals and wonders whatever happened to letter writing. Jeremy wants a boat and somehow is connected to the rest of the conversation. Plans are made for Erik’s 40th birthday.

Jeremy and Erik start off talking movies, specifically Eagle Eye and Gone Baby Gone. They try to define a Sleeper hit vs a Cult hit and what entertainment is. Is a thought provoking slow paced film with an ending that questions your own morals, entertaining? Romantic comedies are renamed “Fluffy Bullsh!t”. Guilt is attempted to be defined. Erik talks about what makes him feel guilty. Jeremy can’t decide what guilt is. Do you feel guilty at the time you make the decision to do the wrong thing, or when you get caught?
Jeremy and Erik start a discussion of Stan-Lee, Batman, a brief history of comic books, the current generation of comic books and what the current demographic of comic books are. Economic comparisons are made using the “Comic Book Standard”. The conversations turns to poorly made Chinese products and America’s service economy. Erik falls into the anti-marketing rant. Jeremy talks about the current concessions made by the Democrats. Health care is glossed upon.
