Podcast #10 – Beast Mode

by The Rush

Once again down to 3 men, the Rush presses forward in this week’s edition of the podcast. Jim and Dave square off in what is essentially a consolation match of the Alma Mater challenge, while Jim voices his unusually strong opinion of Reggie Bush. After one full week in the books, Dave and Kirill weigh in on Modern Warfare 3, and Jim impresses the crew (mainly Kirill) with his Gimley impression.

This week’s superhero bracket matchups feature two heavy favorites (Silver Surfer and Dr. Manhattan), but only one will live to fight another day.

Podcast #9 – Chicken Pox

by The Rush

The Rush returns this week with a lively discussion about vaccines, the tragedy at Penn State, and Chas Henry’s passing abilities. In addition to the usual fan-favorites (Kirill’s Reid-o-Meter, NFL Alma mater challenge), the crew also discusses their hierarchies of soda, spurring an interesting sidebar that includes circus performers.

Finally, the Rush moves its Superhero Playoff Bracket along, as Wonder Woman takes on top-seeded Superman, while Cyclops squares off with The Flash.
