This week Lando and I are discussing a wide range of topics, starting out with what finally put me over in deciding which TV survivalist I like better. After that, we move into the awesomely alternative Alzheimer's helmet that Terry Pratchett is using before talking about the new WETA blunderbuss and whether Steve Jobs has the right to alter the truth about his health. Finally, we discuss the big presidential inauguration and what it means to us, if anything. Enjoy!

After a quick break, we're back examining another oft-argued aspect of the human condition: dominion over the Earth. Do we as the most powerful species on the planet have a right to rule over this planet? Is survival of the fittest the way it should be, or is there a greater morality at play than that which we govern mostly ourselves by? A tricky topic, and another in which there seems to be no truly right answer. Enjoy!

Hey loyal listeners,

No show for this week, mostly my fault due to a business trip and just falling behind on editing. Aside from that, though, had an idea that I wanted to float on by the masses: Ozone Multiplayer Weekends. Those of you who are gamers and want to hop on for a few hours of gameplay with your hosts, we just may be able to make that happen. First, on the PC side of things: Lando is a bit on the limited side here as he currently only would be able to play Team Fortress 2, but I'm up for TF2 or Left 4 Dead. Anyone out there with a PS3, that's just me but a lot more options: Burnout: Paradise, LittleBigPlanet, Metal Gear Online, GTA IV, Tekken Dark Resurrection or Super Stardust HD. So what's the opinion out there? Sound like something interesting or a dud? Comment or email and let us know, and we'll be back next week with a new show.

Joe

It's our big end of the year spectacular!

Well, actually it's coming out after the New Year and it's not much different from our normal shows, but it's the thought that counts. We start off with one of the big topics right now, the neverending Israeli-Palestinian conflict now currently flaring up in Gaza. As usual, our solution to the problem is both innovative and decisive. After that, we take a much lighter look at Chicago's own Mr. Blago and some Canadian political fun, and then we tackle the pervasive culture of impermanence that seems to increase each year. Finally, we talk about the Zunepocalypse that occurred on New Year's Eve (since explained) and why the console wars are all about character. Hope 2009 treats you all right!
