Episode 140 - What A Long Strange Trip It’s Been

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ear...

First and foremost, The guys behind The Dorksmen would like to thank each and everyone of you for your continued support over the years. Through 140 episodes, many live streams and game nights, you, the listener, the friend, the fan, have meant so much to us. Whether this is your first episode or your 140th, thank you. With that, I have to say that this is where The Dorksmen take a pause. This is not goodbye, this is just see you soon. With the world opening back up, we've decided to take a step back. You'll likely hear from us soon, but not often. Please enjoy this final episode for now where we just catch up, crack jokes and do what we do best, entertain you. 

Thank you.

Episode 139 - Space Conflict Day

Episode 139 - Revenge of the New Hope: A Star Wars Podcast Happy Revenge of the 5th (or 6th, depending on when you listen). Brother Gary joins us as we talk about all things "Space Conflict," or as you know. it, Star Wars. What do we like? Don't Like? want to see in the future (or from the past)? Guess you'll just have to listen...

Episode 138 - Three Newlands in a Trench Coat

We finally did it, we answer the age old question of how many Newland brother's it takes standing shoulder on shoulder to equal the height of Joey! Tune in this week for the answer to that riveting question and more. Alright, that's not all we talk about this week... although if you know us by now you know that we could actually make that episode work. This week the Dorks sit down and chop it up about upcoming summer movies. We touch on ones we're looking forward to and of course manage to divert so far off topic and onto another tangent you are left questioning why we even bother with an episode theme each week. Enjoy!

Episode 137 - Dare to be Stupid and Don’t Download this Podcast

We have it all, on the Dorksmen... at least we do if you are a "Weird Al" Yankovic fan! This week, super fan Penn State Phil joins us as we talk all things Alfred. Everything from the beginning of his career to where we are 5 decades later! So Just "Eat It" and enjoy (and don't make me repeat it)!

Episode 136 - What’s Slappening?

Like a swift five fingers to the face out of nowhere, here we are dropping an episode on a Thursday. That's right folks, we're changing it up on you! The ol' razzle dazzle if you may. We've decided to swap things up and keep things fresh and episodes are now being recorded Wednesday and will be live Thursday! For this inaugural episode, we decided to throw it back and have some actual structure to the episode. We dive into a few of our classic categories and talk about what we've been watching, playing, and all in all try to keep up with all the madness that happens at a break neck speed around us. The good news? We don't go off topic for once... The bad news? well you'll just have to listen and find out.

Episode 135 - We Bearly Know MOTU

We are joined this week by very special guest, Jason! aka Mr Bearly, the man behind Bearly Available! This week we sit down to talk all things Master of The Universe. From the childhood cartoons and toys, to the 1987 movie that shall not be named, all the way up until the new cartoon series' and a potential live-action movie, we talk about it all. We share some heartbreaking stories of what happened to our toys past and much more.

Also, this upcoming week is Bearly Available's 4th birthday! Not Jason's 4th birthday... as Clint thought... but the 4 year celebration of Bearly. So make sure to say happy birthday and show some love.

Episode 134 - Chief Wiggum Deserves Better

Matt Groening once said, "Keep your exceptions tiny you'll go through life so whiney..." And that applies to this episode.

As they have the internet on the computer now, give us a listen, won't you?
