77 - Constant Sadsackery

This week, we discuss Jay-Z, lateness*, breast-testing, police corruption, our tales of crime, methods to prevent a mugging, Mad Men, Taylor Swift's upcoming Australian tour, medals, our sporting achievements and failures, bullying, Deadly Premonition, and games that make us feel like children.
In SSFST: we talk about our pals Fun Machine, famous tennis players, twins, Gran Turismo 6, online plans for The Last of Us, Fassassin's Creed, and Nintendo, who have demonstrated yet again how out of touch they are.
In Ask SSJ: I forget to read some excellent mail sent in by David Juan, and instead we talk about George Takei, Howard Stern, my Twitter handle, missed celebrations, my grandmother's birthday, my marriage with Tom's sister, belt politics, Meg Juan, the state of my facial hair, standup, miracles, communicating with our future selves, the cusp of Generation Y, the pros and cons of dating Taylor Swift, Tom's masturbatory preferences, the realities of early death and pregnancy, SSJ: The Next Generation, patriarchy, reliving past lives, our trip to PAX, and the possibility of merch. Ooh. Merch sounds like a dirty word.

Hm. Kinda makes it look like he died.

76 - Dalmartians

This week, we discuss farts, incorrigibility, Game of Thrones, Google history, Boticelli, ghosts, the official SSJ App, the history of the condom, Tom's voice, meditation, podcast suicide, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, Mortal Kombat, GTA: Vice City, and a whirlwind tour of your favourite sitcoms from the 80s, 90s and now. Also, we discuss whether ghosts are real, and play a game of 'Where Is It?', which is kind of like a game but not fun.
In SSST: Sim City 4 is announced, EA and FIFA to keep working together for a decade, the Ouya is delayed, a new Wolfenstein game is on the way, and something about fighting games. Also, sandwiches, Vampire Weekend, my recent adventures in being-flirted-with (side-note: yes, it's that rare that I have to bring it up on the show) (side-side-note: our most censored segment!), the total number of dogs in the world (a lot of pooches!), muscle spasms, 'ballers', and my lover Alexei.
In Ask SSJ: metal/Motown (met-own? mo-tal?), pancakes, smells in space, dalmatians, ghosts (again), birthdays, Freud, Glucos: God of Sweetening, the Blue Man Group, the Great Gatsby, Mad Men, Tom's ambitious plan to invest in a weapon, and we tapdance ourselves out.
Thanks to Daniel Juan and huge birthday love to Aaron Juan for writing in!
