TFZP #105: The Pig War of 1859

In 1859 the Oregon Treaty left several islands in the Harrow strait, of the coast of Vancouver in doubt as to what country owned them, due to uncertain geography and some peculiarities of a cartographic nature. Because of this ambiguity, two countries each had claim to an island called San Juan.
In 1859, an American Farmer named Lyman Cutlar, claimed rights to the land and planted a field of wild tubers, and all was good in the world, but was it!? On June 15th of the same dark year, Lyman caught a mighty black Canadian pig in his freshly fallowed tuber field. The pig became the first victim of the war, when it was shot by blunderbuss.

TFZP #103: Pantyhose Coffeepot

Draelor returns with stories of fishing and harvesting little sisters. Meo brings some delicious Cinnabon Delights and has been putting berries into dinosaur butts with his son, Berzerker has been running through the woods being shot at and whipping his hair back and forth. Wobbly has been busting ghosts and eating salmon. Everyone has been eating pizza. This description is full of short declarative statements. We invent thigh bologna. We should have stopped before we invented thigh bologna.

TFZP #102: Don’t Be Creative

This week we have a special guest – Nodo is in the house while Draelor is out. This episode includes the usual nonsense – video games, a little pinball, some Twitch action, butts, pooping and snacks. There’s also the (re)telling of a super-awesome anti-joke, the story of an encounter with two vicious dogs, Final Fantasy XIV, Mario Sunshine, Doom, VR, Total War: Warhammer and all sorts of other nonsense. Also, if you listen to this episode you’ll get the recipe for how to summon the Flaming Zonkey podcast via a pentagram.

TFZP #101: The Seinfeld of Episodes

Wobbly Chair was watching some dancing this evening, so the vast majority of this episode is with his fill in, the always popular Empty Chair. Likely because we were down a man, we ended up basically talking about nothing for almost the entire podcast. We did manage to get around to talking about E3 a little, and there’s a few mentions of other video games like Doom, Far Cry 4, Heroes of the Storm and World of Warcraft, and then we talked a little about doing, uh, something into a cup, but really, this is an episode about nothing. Enjoy!

TFZP #100: Thank God for Kids

There is a music video that should not be viewed by anyone. It probably shouldn’t even exist. We ate corn dogs to celebrate hitting 100 episodes, and then ended the 100th episode by viewing that which should not be seen. I’d write up more info about what we talked about, but I’m so disturbed that… Well… I can’t even… Hooray for 100 episodes!

TFZP #99: Doom is a Good Video Game

The WWE is brand splittin’, Lary the Cable Guy is making tater chips, there’s moonshine in Wobbly’s burger and Meorrow has decided it’s time to start drinking in front of children. So in other words, it’s another exciting episode of The Flaming Zonkey Podcast! Also, Doom is great, Overwatch is great, Ni No Kuni is great and Marvel Heroes is even kind of ok. In summary, you should read A Confederacy of Dunces.

TFZP #98: Here We Come A-swaffelen

We learned what Swaffelen means. Now you will know also.

TFZP #97: Bottle of Chablis II

The listeners are on a power play this week (because we’re down a man – get it?!?!?). Seriously though, Draelor is out for kid birthdays (and hockey), but we still cover all sorts of video games (Doom, Wolfenstein, Rayman Legends and Overwatch), disappointing snacks, pretty ok snacks, canadian snacks, Appetite for Destruction and all the things Kirby can turn into if he eats things that are video game characters. You don’t want to miss this shorthanded goal of an episode. HE SHOOTS, HE SCORES!!!!!

TFZP #96: Ride That PicoTrain

We brought in a guest, Jester4k, to join us on the podcast this week!  But if you think that’s gonna rein us in from our normal madness, you’re so very, very wrong…  We’ve got plenty of Overwatch open beta weekend, some Dark Souls 3 (because every episode needs Dark Souls or Witcher, amirite?), Wolfenstein, and Rayman Legends.  And because what’s a Flaming Zonkey podcast without distractions, we also cover some Mistborn, Larry the Cable Guy tater chips, dogs rolling in poop, varying opinions on the do’s and don’ts of second-hand sex toys (you read that right), and we cap it all off with some intentionally awkward hugs (this is totally going to be a thing).

TFZP #95: Salmon Chanted Evening

The Zonkeys are back and they herald in nothing particularly important even though they were mentioned in at least one prophecy. This week, you’ll hear all about a couple of collectible card games, more Dark Souls and why it’s awesome, the consumption of some smoked salmon from the Murfcrate, Berz’s penchant for puzzle games, Meorrow’s new computer (and subsequent back problems), the gloriousness of Rayman Legends (that you can play in bed), books, books and more in-depth information about the Mistborn universe than you knew you wanted, Plants and Zombies and their epic 10 hour struggle and a bunch of questions that you should never say yes to. Oh, we’re also going to have to burn down Berz’ house now. Hooray for the Flaming Zonkey Podcast!
