Episode 84 : Instant Classic
Top Chef Las Vegas & the Amazing Race are discussed and Allison promises a quick but episode and then notably fails, on the quick part that is. Bryan eggs her on, so they’re both at fault but that’s the risk you take with free entertainment. This was an alright week for Top Chef but Amazing Race was so damn awesome, just listen to how excited Allison & Bryan get!

Top Chef & Amazing Race coverage from your favorite podcasters Allison and Bryan! Wheee! We took a week off, but so did Top Chef. Amazing Race didn’t take a holiday break so Allison and Bryan race to catch you up with two episodes worth of amazing racing. We keep it pretty much on task this week and fly through it while adding our (way more than) two cents. Sadly, no listener messages this week… we almost cried.

Episode 88 : Season Finale Madness!
The season finale’s of the Amazing Race and Top Chef are covered by the always exciting and excitable Allison and Bryan. While both finale’s were to be found kinda boring, these 2 discuss them like they were the riveting television they were intended to be. We lament the loss of Team Ms USA and then rip Bravo a new one. We catch up with number one fan Patrick on his adventures in California and we hear from a new caller and an old favorite!

Episode 92 : Don’t #@!% it Up!
RuPaul’s Drag Race and Last Restaurant Standing is all we’re covering this week. Well those and No Reservations (which is what we’re watching this week). We get into why there’s no other shows covered and we talk a lot about various things too. Bryan drops several comic book references and Allison talks about being sick. That’s right folks, Allison is sick and yet she still musters up the strength to talk to you! Also a phone call from the awesomeness that is Patrick.

Episode 93 : Oh My Sweet Gerkins!
The beer poppin’ & show stoppin’ continues with Allison and Bryan covering RuPaul’s Drag Race, Last Restaurant Standing, the Amazing Race, Frank the Entertainer in a Basement Affair.

Episode 97 : Phil is Going to be so Pissed at Us
Allison and Bryan just can’t quit the internet or watching reality shows, so they’re back with another batch for you, dear listeners! They cover Races of 2 kinds, those of the RuPaul’s Drag variety and the ones that are Amazing, they also check in on Frank in his (Not So) Entertaining Basement Affair. Patrick sings us a few songs and even writes us an old fashioned e-mail.
Fair warning: for some reason the music all came out louder than usual and we’re not sure why, we tried to fix it, but still, watch out for your ears!

Episode 98 : What’s it Like to…?
By now you know, any podcast worth listening to is one that’s going to get off topic, and so I warn you all up front, it takes us a while to get going on RuPaul’s Drag Race as we deeply discus life, death and the opposite sex. We then move on to one of the best episodes of the Amazing Race before we move on to the final episode of Frank the Entertainer in a Basement Affair. All this plus What We’re Watching This Week and phone calls a plenty!

Episode 99 : Problems
RuPaul’s Drag Race and the Amazing Race are covered! Yay! It’s a race-tastic show! We’re a bit more mellow this go around as we review shows, which is nice for a change. Not THAT big of a change though, we’re still awesome and we still have Patrick with a hilarious call in this episode. That’s not all either, there’s also a call from Carol! It’s a big lovefest of a show this week, so stop reading this and listen to it already!

Episode 100 : That’s a Big Twinkie!

Yet the carry on and review the premier of Top Chef Masters, and the latest episodes of the Amazing Race and RuPaul’s Drag Race. We get some killer voice messages from number one fan Patrick and a slightly embarrassing call from Allison’s mom. There’s even some time to go over the history of the show, our favorite in-jokes as well as our favorite moments in the history of the show. Really, it is a killer celebration that can’t be beat!

Episode 101 : Aw Yeah! Pingping!
