Some of the most interesting stories from May that this Jive-Ass Alien felt needed to be told. Beth and Marc throw in their own thoughts and experiences.

Making the common mistake of asking someone about Dragonball Z, the Jive-Ass Alien gets Marc going on tangents of the beloved anime. Elsewhere, we whine about the gaming moments that make us quit.

We take on some ideas that older generations might have considered acceptable for parenting. Some of these are legitimate and it's good practice to ignore, while others might not be as strong as needed.

To make up for the lack of Simpsons talk lately, (well, as far as we are concerned) Beth, Marc, and the Jive-Ass Alien explore a few Simpsons episodes that have been banned or censored when airing around the world, and we wonde just how sensitive the issues were. But first, these crazy messages.

PS: No, it has not yet been shut down.

Let's wrap up this month's pile of chaos that I found.

This episode Beth, Marc, and the Jive-Ass Alien touch on a few recent events that have occurred this month, and we get some advice from MadDog Marc on how you should maintain the gas levels in your car.

MegaBeth, Marc, and the Jive-Ass Alien get some maybe-practical (but definitely outdated) advice on what to do when the machines take over and try to enslave us. We also reflect on some Disney stories, and why Marc's blood might be the antidote to every disease known to man.

In honor of my niece's 3rd birthday (at this release a week late) I will put on the maddest of hats and talk about how I stay busy.

The Jive-Ass trio ponder what Jesus would do in the time of labor, but I also make time to talk about real issues, like the stars on the Hollywood walk of fame.

Here today, gone tomorrow. The latest victim of retail death, Joann's Fabrics, gets a farewell from Beth, with input from Marc and the Jive-Ass Alien.

As we start to wrap up our latest season, Beth, Marc, and I talk about some odds and ends and talk a bit about Simpsons. Surprisingly, we haven't brought them up as much recently so we give some love and segue into something that I know I personally haven't thought of in a while.

Beth, Marc, and I chat about games that we're currently trying out, as well as what we both like and loathe about gaming.

Jive-Ass Alien, Beth, and Marc get together to try to keep their beans alive Dumb Ways to Die. This is a nice, swift game that can kill some time. So who amongst us is the best survivalist, in bean form?

The unholy trinity get together to talk about some of the TV and movies that we're watching and shape us, even for the slightest bit. Also, some that influenced this short movie that was made.

We finish our Simpsons conversation. Are there any of these that we agree with it?

In what will surely be a civil, lighthearted discussion of this list of best Simpsons episodes from IMDB, Beth, Marc, and the Jive-Ass Alien get together and reminisce. Should some of these even be in consideration? Tune in and see (or hear, I guess) what transpires.

We continue saying goodbye to the year 2024 and anticipating the good fortune that 2025 will bring to the Jive-Ass Alien.

Oh Oh... Omorashi... omorashi omorashi 

We wrap up this talk, and year, with the strategies used by the Tour de France competitors to get the edge.

Cosmo God knows I like me some human insanity, and history is rife with examples. The Tour de France likes to present itself as some prestigious competition, steroids included or not, but even it's beginnings were some of the craziest behavior competitive events have encountered. How about some proof?

We finish out talk on the human obsession that is Redbox.

Humans are much into collecting and hoarding (something that this Jive-Ass Alien is guilty of), but some seem too unusual to understand. For that, Beth and Marc try to help me make sense of this.

Marc and I wrap up our talk on all things modern, like POGs or iPods.

Beth is feeling a bit down, so Marc and this Jive-Ass Alien take a stroll down memory lane, to our youths when a dumb fad entertained us like so many others. Is it time for them to ret- he'll no, but let's chat about them anyway.

So far this Jive-Ass Alien has helped Beth and Marc solve a few murders correctly, can they continue the streak?

We take a look at some of the unsung military heroes (just in time for Veteran's Day!) from Vietnam, the Army Engineers. Along with some present personal shenanigans Beth, Marc, and the Jive-Ass Alien get into the foundation that builds foreign bases. Trust me, it's not as boring as it sounds!!!

Apparently even Jive-Ass aliens experience midlife crisis. Doing the ultimate cliche of getting a Harley? Say it ain't so!

Happy Halloween 2024!
Forgot to release on the scheduled date but makes it closer to the 31st, so that's my excuse. We return to choosing adventures, so let's see if Beth, Marc, and I survive in the House of Danger!

This episode has it all; colonics, Lego, NUKEs, and history from round here. Dam!

We air out some of our grievances about what friends and families do that piss us off. Not really specific to California, where we live, but the state sure makes it difficult at times.

The Jive-Ass Alien with Marc finishes up our car episode. Are these the dumbest of the dumb?

The 3 neighborinoes get together to share some of our personal tales of driving faux-pas. We also give Toyota much free unpaid praise, and a sneak preview for next Murdle mystery.

Me and Marc continue our talk. What else do modern cars have that's not as useful or desired, according to us?
