About
Imagine you’re planted in a lawless world, a world where becoming a doctor is as easy as saying, “I’m a doctor” out loud. Scratch that, just watch Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman instead!
Brian’s first week hosting Dr. Quinn is a violent one. An unrepentant turd named Jake Slicker has murdered a Native man, and the most trustworthy doofus in town is backing up his alibi. Will Dr. Quinn and her village or harried weirdos figure out the truth before a battle breaks out?
Van makes sure the episode is stocked with plenty of old west noises, while Spencer admires Old Man Loren’s steadfast meanness. Saddle up, partners!
Highlights
-Brian wonders the connotation of his given name
-What exactly are Dorothy’s journalism credentials?

About
The Boob Tube Brutes return for another discussion of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman in one of the true all-time fun episodes of the podcast. This time, Dr. Quinn shows kindness to a foraging stranger who believes he is a bird. The rest of Colorado Springs wants this new guest expelled immediately, and yet again rival factions emerge.
Brian and Van welcome the new character into their hearts, while Spencer remains unsure of this fly-by-night vagabond. Jake Slicker threatens more violence, prompting all three cohosts to wonder how he hasn’t ever been run out of town. Later on, “Birdman” muddies its thematic waters with a Wright brothers infodump.
Brian concludes this round of Hot Potato selections by handing Spencer a show dangerous and sexy enough to air after pro wrestling in the 1990s.
