Football has almost legitimately reached this point.

This Key and Peele video had me laughing so hard that I was crying. Well done, sirs. Well done.

May it never be said that people in Denver are welshers.

Denver Mayor Michael Hancock made a bet with the mayor of Baltimore that if the Broncos lost, he'd do Ray Lewis' dance. After initially hurting himself and having to postpone his shame...today he paid off the bet. 

Vertically Striped Radio - Episode 199 - 01-26-13 - Tortillas and Beer

A week after having absolutely nothing prepared, VSR was hopping. 

Craig's best friend Doug stopped in to give some theories on when it's okay for a man to drive a convertible,  Craig explained how he terrified a local jogger, Craig unveiled the Simpsons Fusion Theory, and we spent a good chunk of time discussing Face's bizarre eating habits. 

Then, just as the show was about to end, Elevation called in to read a letter he claimed was forwarded on to him by IndieSarah. The actual contents of said letter are as scandalous as they are fraudulent, but it made for a bit of fun at Craig's expense. 

The show wrapped up with a music recommendation of "Classic Cars" by Bright Eyes. Many thanks to The Whale, Elevation, Face, and Doug for all dropping in for a very fun episode of the show.

Bruins Gangster

I don't understand what possesses someone to obtain a Bruins jersey personalized with the word "Gangster" and then compels them to wear said jersey to an Avalanche-Blue Jackets game. I guess that's why I'll never truly be Gangster myself.

Weirdo.

Jim Harbaugh freaks out.

I love Jim Harbaugh's pouty dance...

Vertically Striped Radio - Episode 198 - 01-19-13 - Slacker Saturday

Craig institutes "Slacker Saturday".  With no real preparation or motivation, Craig, Face and the Whale discuss a whole lot of sports including NHL Opening Day, the NFL Conference Championship Games, Lance Armstrong and how we don't care about if he cheated or not, and the bizarre Manti Te'o story.

On skinning cats...

We're so focused on finding a million different ways to skin a cat that no one bothered to ask why anyone would want to skin a cat.

Vertically Striped Radio - Episode 197 - 01-12-13 - Ouch

It hurts. After seeing the Broncos collapse in an epic playoff battle with Baltimore, Craig comes on the air to try and purge some of his sadness with the Blogtalk audience. Face and Elevation call in to talk him off the ledge a bit. The impromptu therapy session helps soothe the raw nerves of a Denver fan that had suffered enough today. Seriously, how do you give up a 70 yard touchdown to a team with no timeouts in the final 40 seconds of a game that you lead by 7???

Vertically Striped Radio - Episode 196 - 01-12-13 - United in Orange

The show Started early due to the fact that Craig's brain would explode if he tried to do a show while watching his Broncos. Ed and Face joined and we talked a whole lot of NFL football.

Apparently Yahoo! doesn't believe in the Ravens AT ALL.

I went to my Yahoo! home page this afternoon, and apparently they believe so little in Baltimore that they didn't even bother posting their name in the weekend lineup. Hoping this is a good omen meaning that the Ravens will barely bother showing up too. Go Broncos!

Vertically Striped Radio - Episode 195 - 01-05-13 - Watchin' Football

Craig, Face and the Whale talk a lot of football whilst watching the Bengals-Texans wildcard game. We also check in with John Kline and The Ed and discuss a few Million Dollar Ideas before wrapping up with a recommendation of "Alone" by Trampled by Turtles.
