Low Level Rage

Tim threatens to do something really annoying if people don't call. And they do! Canadian shopping, more manatees, and weird ways to bite the big one. Plus a tiny running back and much talk of ghosts. This one was fun!

Nobody steps up to discuss their nightmares, so Tim and Lauren are left to their own devices for two hours. The stuff of nightmares involves mold people, bent cops, and Bono. A lot of Bono. Also a freaky ghost janitor, a lethal game of Operation, and a stroll through ruined Chicago. Plus something weird happens to Tim. Only Callie saw this one through to the end, so maybe it was really alienating? Who knows!

Tim gets bitten by the rock bug and goes nuts. Lauren is mad at some cell phone talkers. The Greatest Dream Ever Written takes shape in five eventful acts featuring Elvis Costello, your high school English teacher, and an amazing zinger. The sets are pretty cool, too. Plus a couple of phone calls from under the sea, and the bed music gets really freaky halfway through!

It's the first meeting of the Low Level Rage Disaster Preparedness Brigade and After-School Club! Craig calls to discuss his documentary "Coral: What Is Coral." Tim's ideal treehouse gets totally out of control. Lauren needs twenty pounds of salt and an RV. Callers make their bid to be on the winningest apocalypse-survival team, Callie slays some turkeys, and Lauren learns about "Waterworld"!

Tim talks Cowtown, lyrical annotation, and awkward message boards. The childhood importance of Heaven and Earth. Lauren hangs out in chat rooms attached to promotional websites and asks hard-hitting questions. Listeners help create the List of Trivial Annoyances. Plus Emma talks to elves, some callers get splashed, and a manatee gets a call from his family.

Lauren tells horror stories about work. Tim and Lauren taste-test some fancy Malort, and Tim does a punitive drinking game. Fred from Honolulu calls in to discuss novelty hats, Sarah teaches listeners some creative swears, and Nowah wants to know who Kenji is. Plus facts about St Patrick and some splashing noises!
