Hilary and Edward T have not recorded in almost 6 months - WTH, man? So they decide it's catch-up time, and they wind up all over the map.
Edward T and Hilary want to talk about guilty pleasures, but then realize that they haven't even recorded for six months - what the hell, man?! So they decide to catch you, the listener, up to date on what's been going on, and they wind up all over the map. They start with their adventures with work and staying employed, and ETM goes off on a culture rant about moving back to his 'beloved' Denver, Colorado.
Hilary tells ETM about a song called "Welcome to Earth, Third Rock from the Sun". ETM's head just about explodes when he finds out that Hilary is recommending a country song, which causes Edward T to go on a rant about Lady Gaga. Say what?
But then ETM spins on a dime, details his anti-sexual conquests and announces he has had it with his own viewpoints of the world, and has decided to give himself to being what he thinks is bad, rather than what he thought was good. What does he mean by that?
ETM then gives you a Media Minute, recommending the streaming-media service, Spotify. He recommends it for one reason: Comedy. He then gives you some choice comedy clips from such great comedians as Greg Giraldo, Patton Oswalt, The Sklar Brothers, Louis C.K. and Bill Burr.
Finally, just before signing off, Edward T informs Hilary that he will kill himself during the next recording. He says he's kidding, but kind of not. He then details one of his favorite films, Sidney Lumet's "Network", in which Academy Award winner Peter Finch gives a speech in which he will commit suicide live on the air, because being a broadcaster was his life, and he has been retired by the network.
Edward T is obviously not serious (after all, how is he writing this in third person right now?), but he details his desperation and discouragement through the art form of film. Hilary is just flat-out freaked-out.
