About
Things get steamy and murdery as the Boob Tube Boys rendezvous with Silk Stalkings, a ’90s show about cops named Rita and Chris who want to get it on. Thing is, they can’t get it on; there are simply too many sex murders to solve.
Spencer mans the Silk Stalkings controls, spinning a tale of a Howard Stern type who is about to hit the big time, but may also be a total psychopath. Will Chris and Rita uncover the truth, or will Chris’s fear of the naked female form lead him astray?
Brian and Van ponder the titular shock jock’s confounding politics, while Spencer discusses why an oatmeal crème pie is really the star of the show.
Highlights
-A special intro from one of America’s premier fake radio personalities
-How long it takes to get from one place to another place
-Childhood recollections of late night television

About
As usual, the second time covering a show turns out to be the charm for the Boob Tube Boys. Silk Stalkings gets even silkier with the addition of guest star Tim Thomerson, a silver fox whose penchant for sexual roleplays makes him both a prime suspect and a potential red herring. It’s up to Chris and Rita to figure it all out (uh oh).
Spencer does his best to keep himself, Brian, and Van on track in a fun episode that touches on everything from Tim Thomerson’s filmography to early ’90s wardrobe choices. Brian publicly reveals his love of different shaped containers, and everyone wonders what happened to fancy hats.
Stick around to hear a special announcement about the podcast’s next big project, Seinfeld week! That’s right, Boob Tube Boys will at long last be covering a show all three hosts know well and love wholly.
Highlights
-The BTBs unfurl their never-ending love for Tim Thomerson
-How long it takes to get from one place to another place (again)
-Some truly incredible lines of dialogue
