| 1 | ExplicitVideoGet drunk, win a free ride home | Our writers are on their mandatory 12 hour break (damn unions). This is what happens if you are lucky enough to catch the last subway ride home after downing Jager shots at the bar. Your journey home is already going to be fraught with danger and pizza stains. Shouldn't it be at least free? We think so. The rich gets their taxis, chauffeurs and company cars. But what about the rest of us? We are the 99%! All we get is a damn wheelbarrow for a bed because we lost out keys. This is what the 'Occupy' movement should be fighting for! | 5/27/12 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 2 | ExplicitVideoA speedy end to quick divorces | There's a reason half of marriages end in murder. There simply isn't anything in the dating world that can prepare you for it. It's way too easy to impress a future wife or husband while you're still hot for each other's g******s. But that's no warm up for married life. That's why we propose potential life parters team up for a round of Speed Travelling. Anyone can seem charming over dinner and drinks. But if you can keep your s**t together on a 17-hour bus ride through the jungles of Peru and a night in a rat-infested hotel run by a sexist psychopath then you'll be ready for anything... even Christmas dinner with your in-laws. | 5/19/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitEpisode 4: Gravy chefs required. Apply within | You're arguing in the street with some nutbar over some crazy dispute and your brain is about to explode. What you gonna do? Call in a roving referee, of course! Let him pass judgment and you pass on a tip. Problem solved. We got that idea plus at least two more! There's also Andreas' wish to create a voice-activated TV remote control, and we expose the lack of certified 'gravy chefs' at restaurants. David also pitches 'the hobo diet', and contankerous old coot Frank tries to claim his dog as a tax deduction. We have all that plus the 'missing link' drinking game, all in this most wondrous podtastic episode and not much more! | 4/12/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitThis headline has been cancelled by the glorious leader | General Daniel Velasquez is a ruthless, conniving, vicious man. His words. Honestly, he made us type those words. And you always want to do as he says. He once invaded another country because its flag was prettier than his. Andreas met up with this former dictator for drinks. In between threats to slice Andreas' neck, he proudly showed him pictures of his pet piranhas (Uday and Qusay), and opened up about old war wounds (he's been stabbed, beaten, shot at, but those scars pale -- he's quite tanned -- when compared to the emotional wounds he suffered when he was forced into exile a few years ago). He's killed thousands of innocents. He's forced himself on dozens of wives and their lovers. Now he's in studio for 8 minutes of blatant self-promotion to talk about his magazine going global. Listen to the interview below and begin your brainwashing for a glorious new future. | 4/3/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitDrunk Bigfoot slurs a plea for St Patrick’s Day | Brilliantorstupid.com contributor Gerry, a very lonely sasquatch, has an idea to make St Patrick's Day more inclusive. Andreas met up with him to hear his idea. In a feeding frenzy he ate Andreas' right hand (which was holding the camera) so the only image we have is this copy of Vanity Fair magazine's recent 'Proust Questionnaire' article on him. Luckily the recorder survived with only one bite taken out of it so you can scroll down to listen to the full interview (well, not full -- we had to edit out the parts were Gerry tried to screw a shag rug and later in the night -- after his tenth bottle of Jaggermeister -- when he threw up an entire family of pigeons.) | 3/11/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitEpisode 3: You’re dying anyway so throw a party | Your Family Bucket of comedy is ready for pick-up. We have gut-wrenching jokes on hot topics all neatly packed into a fat 22 minutes of heart-attack inducing fun, featuring an awesome idea to extend the Buy Local campaign to other goods (why buy plastic milk jugs when wood will do fine?), and hear Missing Link bits on the terrible truth behind chupacabras of South America and how the pick axe is an essential cooking tool. Also, Tony (Sir Terry Terryamson's henchman from lightbulbindustries.tumblr.com) drops by, drinks all our beer, threatens us, and then oddly invites us out. We figure he's just lonely. Now shut up and press play. | 2/27/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitBrilliant or Stupid? Episode 2.0194039483039 | Who says you don't get anything for free? We're offering you a massive 30 minutes of uninterrupted gibberish and assorted ramblings by ourselves and barely-coherent contributors, featuring choice audio musings featuring intelligent (unintelligible?) debate and provocative interviews. Our special guest this week was Fernandanny, spokesman for the Masculine Metrosexual movement, plus we solve the problems of cruise ship disasters and little people (wait, that doesn't sound right). We also propose radical improvements to airplane toilets (which goes a tiny way towards explaining this photo to the left) and we pitch the greatest superhero movie yet -- The Prospector! Best of all, we finally have a sponsor -- LightBulb Industries (check them out here). Just press play dammit. | 2/7/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitHow the Pope changed hockey forever. Amen | In this, our second edition of the Missing Link, Andreas proves he's taken one too many shots to the head with his take on the epic late-1950's journey of the Pope across the frozen tundra that is the National Hockey League. | 1/15/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitThe Missing Link: Cheeseburger Wallpaper | We've created a new party game called "The Missing Link," in which you get two minutes to connect two random words with a story that nobody would ever believe. Unscripted, untested, and possibly unworthy... Have a couple of shots and then listen to this podcast in which David explains the hidden history that binds the humble cheeseburger and the mighty wallpaper. | 1/5/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitOur gift to you this Xmas: cheap laughs | In keeping with the warm and fuzzies of the holiday season, we asked our listeners to send us their brilliant ideas to make the world a slightly less stupid place for Christmas. Didn't work... But at least they provided us with some cheap laughs at their expense, and laughing at other people always brightens the holiday season, so it's not a complete loss. | 12/19/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitTonight on Prison TV: Dancing with the Guards | Prisoners get to watch all sorts of crap TV in jail but is that a good thing? They should not be allowed to watch shows that angers up the blood like UFC fights and Fox News. Here's an innocent idea: let the prisoners have their own TV shows like Extreme Makeover: Prison Edition or Improv at the Parole Board Hearing. | 12/14/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitOur first call-in show! | Back in the last millenium we threatened to record a call-in show. Well, here it is. Sorry, you had to wait this long for a piece of crap. Never again... BTW, Don't blame us that only racist stereotypes call our show. | 11/28/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitOur vision for a beautiful world | If Hitler had been a beautiful woman, they would have let her have all of Europe and Russia and Britain to boot, and we never would have had to suffer through World War II. Unless we're missing something, this makes perfect sense. | 11/4/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitFreak Tank: Where numbskulls pitch ideas | Reality TV shows like Dragon's Den and Shark Tank leave out the flakes and kookoos even thought they might have a decent idea. That's not fair. There should also be a show for the droolers and nutbars to pitch their flaky ideas. We'd call it Freak Tank. | 10/4/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 18 | ExplicitVideoThe truth about quickies | A quickie lesson for the youngsters from a couple of grizzled old veterans. Don't beat yourself up trying to please a lady in bed. She'll be just as happy to get your sweaty body off her as soon as possible. You're not the only one who'd rather be watching TV. | 10/1/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitNorth Korea shows the way… backward | The global economic recovery isn't going as planned. Maybe it's time to take a page out of a country known for deliberately lacking pizzazz.

ExplicitQuit coddling wild animals — bring back zoos! | Zoos are due for a comeback. But first, kids today need some pizzazz. A lightshow by the lion cage and an all-zebra Abba tribute band are a good start. Or how about an ironic zoo for all the cool urban kids? | 7/27/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitCan big dumb beasts do comedy? Kevin James says yes | Did dinosaurs have a sense of humour? Did they revel in fart jokes and laugh up-roar-iously (roar, geddit?!) when one of them slipped on a banana? We don't know because science hasn't looked into it yet. | 7/20/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitTurn your old junk into steak and coffee | Scientists are so boring. Now they're working on teleporting a photon of light. Thrills! We have a way better idea. Teleport that useless junk stuffed under our beds and then transmogrify it into a juicy steak dinner or a mocha java. | 12/3/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitArcticland! The coldest place on Earth | Stephen Harper loves the Arctic. He originally planned to move the capital to the tundra but can't until Google Street View maps out the terrain for us. Never mind, we have a better idea: Arcticland! | 11/5/10 | Free | View In iTunes |
