Headline Heroes: Oscar Mayer Drift

Order up! We are hungry for hot dogs, hot dogs, and more hot dogs over here. This one is all about hot dogs. Listen up as we talk about hot dogs, we give our opinions on hot dogs, and there is a smattering of dog talk of the hot variety. Also we take a bear quiz or whatever.

Reissue #7: Bride of Roomba

A NOTE FROM THE BOYS: Hey sorry everyone, this week due to some technical difficulties and scheduling issues we just couldn't make it happen. That said here is an old favorite where instead of a comic book character we accidentally make a horror movie. Anyway, enjoy! Hey did you guys hear something? Wait, what happened to that vacuum salesman? Guys I think the vacuuming is coming from inside the house! Quick, lockdown the house and hide in the closet with me. To keep calm we can discuss The Olive Garden reviews, buying a driver’s license, and vacuum crimes. Article: Oregon Man Called Police About A Burglar.

Such a unique concept! I love it. The hosts use a new headline each episode to invent a superhero or supervillain. They come up with everything from backstory, to costume, to comic book cover. It’s funny and enthralling as you go along with them through their creative process.

Headline heroes is a hilarious look at the world of comics. I really apperciate the unique format of the show where they focus more on the creative above everything else. Keep up the great show Drew, Nate, and Tanner!
