Take a second to listen to the 3rd most popular podcast in Halifax, Nova Scotia as voted in The Coast! WHOA WHOA WHOA! SETTLE DOWN! THERE'S ENOUGH TO GO AROUND, LADIES! Just kidding. No one loves us.

I knew you'd be back. Let me tantalize you. This week on the show we discussed twitter death rumors and how crushing it will be when people like Bill Cosby and Jackie Chan really die. In other crushing news, Luke saw a man pulling a boat get in an accident, and marijuana can pulverize your brain muscles. We decided to take a look at who had the top 10 highest IQs on earth, and what they did. Then we wrapped up the show with a hearty chat on masturbation habits in various seasons, a purple dildo ...

Creep with me... to a world where in one corner stands a battle bot (perhaps piloted by Grant from MythBusters?), and in the other corner is a ferocious little baby. Could the baby bludgeon the bot to death with a coffee mug? Or would the robot legitimately rape the baby? We will use our brains to think about that, and while we do, we will learn about a rich old woman that used an apartment building as a secret storage for 100 year old heirlooms. We also discuss the "Press Freedom Index" to see ...

All this and more - only on Background Noise - u...

Devin returns to the show this week and brings with him some stories about his vacation, which includes some details about what may or may not have been a racist "heritage town" (you know, those old villages you visit where everyone is in character).

In this week's news, a man needs to shit out a diamond ring or else he will be in (more) trouble.
