The week leading up to this episode was pretty whacky! It came out that Sarah Palin slept with NBA All-Star Glen Rice back in the day, Scarlett Johansson's succulent titty pictures leaked onto the internet, a midget who was a pornstar AND a Gordon Ramsey look-alike got eaten by a badger, a weatherman woke up in a hot tub with a dead man wearing a dog collar, and that wasn't ALL! Tune in to hear these tales and to find out whose balls swing like Simon Belmont from Castlevania when he uses his whi...

This episode kicked off with a very in-depth and controversial discussion about censorship, words you "can and can't" say, and the general pussification of society. There's also a story about a "Twitter beef" and a "Red State" movie review, as well as more magic than a barrage of Magic Missiles firing at your face on another plane of existence...so...yeah...think about THAT. PUT THIS PODCAST IN YOUR EARS AND SMOKE IT!

It's the 101st episode of Background Noise, so in order to celebrate we had 101 dalmatians in studio! Okay, we didn't, but this was the 1st episode that was recorded in our new headquarters, and that's kind of exciting, right? Anyway, we discussed the VMAs, a scientific study that made monkeys into & chimp pimps, the interesting documentary "King of Kong", a woman who made a security fence out of HIV needles, and we might have even shared with you our world famous marinara sauce reciple. MAY...

For episode 100 we wanted to have a celebration so this was our first episode with a live studio audience! Many laughs were had by all and a lot of alcohol was consumed. Be prepared for some rambling, fighting, cheering, and laughter of course. To add to the excitement we even had Nick and Justin from Luchador Proper in studio painting a sweet robot while the podcast was being recorded. All in all an amazing night and a great centennial episode. Even if the drunken antics prove to be a distracti...

TV kills you, great white sharks are being found where they shouldn't be, old broads are 10th degree judo masters, and looking for love makes you dumb. Basically, you don't have much of a chance in this life. Damn, this write up is really sad...so...I guess that you should just like, listen to as much Background Noise as you can because it's the #1 treatment for sadness, depression, and bitchassedness.

Greetings, Earthlings and intergalactic alien travelers! This time around we had a "no swearing" episode, where those who committed the offense of speaking with a foul tongue were whacked with foam swords and forced to drink flaming hot tabasco sauce and sour lemon juice. Naturally, there were a couple of fuc...uuuuh..."slip ups" which resulted in punishment. Also, long-time listener Billy "Redneck Name" Floyd from the UK Skyped in to give us the inside scoop on the London Riots, we talked about...

What do white people smell like? And how about black people...and Asians, Indians, First Nations, and Mexicans? All important questions - and all answered on this week's show! We also bumbled our way through figuring out how dress sizes work due to a so-called "plus-sized" model who is just downright sexy and not fat, and we talked about how annoying people can be in public when they're being loudmouths...or are walking around with awful ringtones. Oh, and Nitro (from American Gladiators) was in...

A former rap partner and longtime friend of Luke, Mike, was in studio for this episode to talk about his new musical group called Drugz N Dreamz. He also had to grin and bear it as two, 12 year old songs that he did with Luke (when they were known as the rap group "Undarunnaz") were played back and then comedically annihilated. Not to be outdone, White Ass Jon also dropped some blazing hot bars, as he performed his own rendition of "Smell Yo Di..." by Riskay. This is an episode of drugs and musi...

Derrek tries to switch things up this week by trying to intro the show and what a show it is! You ever try to debate something with an illogical person? Luke did this week and tells us all the juicy details. Additionally we decide just how much we think some insane celebrity items are worth, talk about Halifax and it's continuing issues with concerts oh and some guy who likes to camp out in a portable toilet. Ponder, laugh, and cringe your way through this amazing episode of Background Noise.

A couple of artistic Luchadors were in studio this week to help discuss some very important and serious topics including: The R-Word, A random seal adventure, kids getting life in prison and mass murder of butterflies. All of this is explained in VERY graphic and intense detail, so if you have a strong imagination I warn you now, you will most likely have some pretty crazy images floating around in your head after listening to this episode.

Things were kept pretty simple this week on Background Noise! Between the death of hip-hop legend Nate Dogg, the earthquake & tsunami in Japan, and Mike Tyson's appearance on Ellen (as well as his genius and insanity overall), there was little else to be squeezed in! If you're a person with any sense (sight, taste, smell, touch & hearing), you'll definitely enjoy this episode. If not, well...I guess it won't be any worse than the complete nothingness that you're used to, so give it a sho...
