#65 - Lethal Weapon 3-4

We've left the 80's and entered the 90's with Riggs and Murtaugh, as they keep getting too old for this shit. The show starts, as always, with us waxing nostalgic over what we remember from these movies. Stick around after the break to hear your favorite triple threat hashes out the best and worst of these action-comedies starring Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Joe Pesci, Chris Rock and Rene Russo.

#61 Animaniacs

We’re zany to the max…
Yes, the terrible 3 are a little insane but on this most glorious of episodes, we’re stacking Animaniacs! The legendary cartoon the dominated most of our listeners' childhood. This one gets crazy from the start as the guys welcome one of their favorite guests Scotty White back to the show. This one is full of surprises, JD leaves the guys at a loss when he reveals his true thoughts on their topic and just about ends HIS when he reveals another startling revelation. Scotty shows who the real king of trivia is as he lays waste to all that JD and Bulldog believed about their trivia knowledge. The professor shares why he loved the show so much as a kid and why it was his go-to cartoon.
This is another glorious episode that is anxiously waiting to pleasure your ears! ;-)

#60 M*A*S*H (Season 1)

Your favorite three stars are back, with a blast from the past. There was no warring over picking this topic, JD, The Professor, and Bulldog all thought this topic deserved a shot: M*A*S*H (Season 1)! JD once again jumps the gun and mentions a fact before the Professor gets to it, Bulldog shares the impact it made on him as an adult, and the Professor brings the facts, as is expected by now. Hold on to your sutures: you’re in for one hell of a treatment!

#58 Donkey Kong Country (SNES)

It’s time to jump out of that barrel we’ve been hiding in; your favorite trio is stacking another Shigeru Miyamoto classic: Donkey Kong Country!
JD is up against Willis and Bulldog in a battle of wits when arguing about DK’s size. Willis starts us off with a mouth-full of language while playing the game live, and Bulldog has a theory about the missing Kong in the lineage from the arcade Kong and Donkey Kong (who is supposedly Arcade Kong’s grandson). Join us as hilarity ensues!

#57 The Legend of Zelda

It's dangerous to go alone, take this…

Grab your sword as you join the terrible 3! They are reunited as The Professor returns and the guys cover… The Legend of Zelda. You can tell that The Professor missed the mic as he lets loose right out the gate with his memories of the most epic of games. JD helps the guys remember what it was like to rent games. Bulldog admits things were hard back then. Things get fuzzy when The Professor tries to explain the Zelda timeline. JD drifts away as he hunts down the answer to a question that will eventually lead to a classic JD versus the tag team of The Professor and Bulldog. This is a huge topic making this episode a tough one for some of the crew!

How It Stacks #31: Hey Arnold!

Artwork by "Hey-Arnold-Fans" via DeviantArt.com

"Hey football head!!"
The notorious How it Stacks three take on another Nicktoons juggernaut: Hey Arnold!
The story of a young super kid who can fix ANY problem. This one was another unique episode for the guys as this is a topic that they weren't really into as kids. Whoa! Before you go thinking you whats going to happen stackage wise remember the guys have proven that if its "stacks" it will win them over (Bill and Ted did this with JD for instance) . With that said the guys get back to their roots a little on this one with the return of VS as the guys put Doug up against Hey Arnold and company. Willis brings the knowledge (such is the tradition) and we debut a brand new segment that is full of some good laughs. This is one more classic H.I.S. episode for you to sneakily play while you're at work.
Extra Special Thanks to Casey, Charlie, and Ian. We love you guys! (you know why)
