I Have Seen the Future of Media, and it’s Terrible
My house is a “cord cutter” house. We don’t have cable at all. We subscribe to Netflix, have a big antenna on our roof for local channels, watch DVD’s and Blu-Rays and even buy an occasional movie directly from iTunes or Amazon. For the most part, it’s been great. That said, I think I see where all this is going, and it’s terrifying.
TFZP for 2015-07-27: Your Childhood Heroes are Monsters
If you grew up as a child of the 80s or 90s, then you will feel right at home during this week’s podcast as we lament how basically every one of our childhood idols turned out to be complete monsters. After that, we move into the usual nonsense: penises, South Park, The Princess Bride (and how Draelor is now banished from the podcast), Far Cry 3, The Ring (not the one with the little guys with furry feet), Inside Out, some fitness stuff, board games like Kingdom Builder and Zombie Dice, Batman’s performance woes, more damn Heroes of the Storm, Draelor getting rear ended, infamous uses of the N word in wrestling and finally – the most damage we can cause with a single tweet that comes from the Potus’ Twitter account. Let’s all just get along and enjoy… The Flaming Zonkey Podcast!

TFZP for 2015-07-20: Eating Vegan and Reading Tarot Cards
This episode is only 1% about eating vegan and reading tarot cards, but the that sounded like a good title so there it is! Instead of that stuff, you’ll hear the boys talk about: Eating Potato Chips! Picking Peaches! Being Busy! Dip Cones! Wrestling! Pokemon! Apple Watch! Time Travel! Lube! There’s also some video game talk – games like Heroes of the Storm, Brothers, Lego Jurassic World, Plants vs. Zombies, Shadow of Mordor and Witcher 3. Also, Wobbly got to see Birdcloud in person. YOU ARE JEALOUS!

TFZP for 2015-07-13: Breaking Kayfabe
It’s the hottest week of the year so far here in St. Louis, which doesn’t really impact the podcast at all! This week’s exciting episode opens with the boys eating some tacos and then being attacked by either a bear or Berz’s washing machine. From there the conversation meanders from Slide the City to Meo’s impending mid-life crisis (#2), the etymology of the work kayfabe, tons of video games (Geometry Wars, Final Fantasy 14, Heroes of the Storm, Rocket League, Ark, GTA5, Dishonored, Tomb Raider, Borderlands and Brothers), books, the psycopath test, Draelor’s super-awesome-fun-time-alone-weekend and finally vagina 2.0. Yes. Vagina 2.0.

TFZP for 2015-06-09: Flaming Zonkey Night at the Movies
I have sad news to share with you, good listeners. This is yet another episode of the podcast without Wobbly Chair. Try to hold it together while you listen this week, and next week he should be back unless he’s secretly quit and just not told us. Until then, you’ll get to enjoy stories of masturbation (not that we don’t talk about that every week), The Witcher 3, Fallout 4, Majora’s Mask, the Electronic 3 and the required building of boats, because YOU MUST BUILD A BOAT! We also talk quite a bit about movies, cover songs, the wrong parts of St. Louis and the usual wrastlin’ and Pokemon. Oh, and there are lizards. Epic lizards. And they’re boxing.

TFZP for 2015-06-02: The Wheels on the Bus
Well, we’re down a man this week, but this time it’s Wobbly Chair that is out galavanting around the greater Orlando area getting drunk on butterbeer. In his place, we spend a lot of time talking about bus stop shenanigans, Meorrow’s upcoming empty house weekend (and him giving up on losing that last bit of flabby belly), Berzerker’s weekend of drinking and playing with electricity (at the same time), and Draelor’s love of books. If all that wasn’t enough, we don’t even take a break this week – instead we take a surprise call from Wobbly Chair ON LOCATION! We do all of this for you, the listener! Enjoy it! WE DEMAND IT!
