This week, in an episode that was definitely recorded in one sitting, Brian and Jeff get to the bottom of propaganda techniques (“Techniques of Propaganda”) and how someone becomes popular (“Are You Popular?”), as opposed to just getting in the back seat with all the boys.

We can only hope you’re enjoying these instructional video episodes half as much as we’re enjoying recording them. This week: Walt Disney’s “The Story of Menstruation” from 1946 and “Improve Your Personality” from 1951

Watching the old instructional films is truly one of our favorite things, so we watch two more this week: “Let’s Share with Others” from 1950, and “Mind Your Manners” from 1953.

We’re starting off the “year end” shows with a real banger: the boys watch the Coronet instructional films, “Going Steady?” from 1951 and “Are You Ready for Marriage?” from 1950.

Just before the mics went up, the boys watched a clip from the new show “All’s Fair,” and it was hall of fame bad. Also: programming notes | Brian wants to outlive Abraham Lincoln | the studio at Camp TGO was a hot box | always jerk off first | Beavis and Butt-Head | end of year updates (Prince Andrew b/w Sir Loin of Beef, D4vd, dangerous monkeys, Mississippi and the 13th Amendment) | a judge resigned after pissing and puking in the street | sometimes, Brian really appreciates the idea of a totalitarian police state | body parts on ice were accidentally mailed to a woman’s house | some random pig woman thinks ICE has warheads | SIDS Caesar | Kim Kardashian thinks we faked the moon landing | and finally, Romo says what?

It’s November already, and it feels like we just started the season. Also: Jeff won’t advertise, and he’s having a headphone mishap | Brian and Jeff started reading the same book, about the history of Kmart | the Jamaica hurricane was a real thing | June Lockhart died, and Team Brian takes a commanding 4-1 lead in the Dead Pool | they’re not looking for Amelia Earhart’s plane this year, after all | some people are uptight about a fake skeleton strip club | a 13-year-old boy stole his mother’s SUV and lead police on a high speed chase | Revenge of the Nerds | Brian likes to run red lights | Lemon Gleason | a vehicle tipped over in Mississippi, spilling out several infected monkeys | Mississippi waited 130 years to ratify the 13th Amendment | red foxes and Redd Foxx | and finally, “On the Loose” by Saga.

Keeping with the annual tradition, the boys watch an episode of “Takedown with Chris Hansen.”

In case you were wondering how old Brian is, he’s going to tell you his favorite kind of weather. Also: We realize that pausing mid show to take a drink is rude, and we don’t care | the TGO Radio Christmas party | Brian will gamble for his birthday | reflecting on what we accomplished this year | hitting for the cycle | Mark Sanchez and D4vd updates | a substitute middle school teacher was busted with cocaine | Uncrustables, again | Brian finally got an air fryer | “Was she a great big fat person?” | Publix in Florida will allow open carry | a couple was arrested for giving a teenager bags filled with guns and kicking him out of the car | and finally, Sovereign.

Jeff starts the show in a bad mood, so Brian fucks with him until he feels better. How that shakes out: Prong (the band) discussion | sneezing | Mark Sanchez is a tool bag buffoon facing a felony charge | football player rapists (allegedly) | D4vd updates: they buried the girl, and it turns out her family is trash | the cloud | the woman who was trying to steal Graceland was sentenced | Jeff says Uncrustables are cheating | Elvis’ diet, b/w no wonder he died on the toilet | the shot, the third arm, and Jeff’s dick | a woman stole an electric shopping cart | now is not the time to have Halloween decorations of dead bodies labeled with the names of city officials | IQ is a real thing we have to take seriously | Amelia Earhart became a celebrity in the way nonentities become huge celebrities today | Stroke Show | porn names | the one true TGO Radio conspiracy theory | and finally, getting to the bit.

This week, let’s talk about wanting peace and quiet. Also: when you can’t find things to listen to | ideal work | this week’s D4vd update (not pregnant) | Brian has to set an alarm to record, because he’s old and forgets things | table saws | Barry Bonds’ enormous head | Jose Canseco’s Twitter feed | celebrities on Cameo | the underage montage makes a glorious return | a woman (and sometimes her “friend”) visited all 372 cities and towns in North Dakota | Don Imus and nappy headed hoes | a killer squirrel sent two women to the emergency room | a South Carolina Republican with a great screen name was pinched for child porn | why do kid touchers not know how WiFi and cell phone towers work? | Jeff has to make himself presentable before leaving the studio | and finally, repetitive fork movements.
