How long did James last talking into a microphone where nobody talks back? A crisp ten minutes.

Just a quick marginally spooky test run of a new microphone. Plus, new content to satisfy the content beast. It'll kill you. It wants you dead, this content beast. It's eating New Yorkers. I swear it's true. I've seen it.

This is a one-off, boys and girls. A sad, meandering, unprofessional one-off. Kaleb talks into a microphone at 2 a.m. without his co-host Big Jim Murphy. It goes in a lot of new directions, all of them bad.

Normally we wouldn't allow something like this to happen, but we're taking too much time off between episodes and the content beast must be satisfied. We're struggle podcasters, not Johnny Carson.

If y'all like this, let us know and we'll consider doing hand-offs like this once a month or something. Because it's a struggle getting us both into a room at the same time, what with the ol' time delay.

P.S. Not that it matters, but at some point a Hank Williams song is mentioned but misidentified. The song was "Hey Good Lookin'".

Kaleb and James continue their True Detective season two scenarios. These will probably have an arc, which we'll get around to at some point.

And Kaleb recaps the Lena Dunham fiasco. Read about it here:

The Vice article.

The Raw Story synopsis.

Wonkette's synopsis.

Editor's Note: we're ditching the PayPal donate button. We didn't get less desperate - it just made this page look like too much of a damn racket. Hosting the show is $15 a month and if you ever feel like tossing a few bucks our way, you know where we're at.

James wrote the sketch this week, which is nice. Somebody tell him to do that more. Really put some pressure on him, or if you live close to him maybe threaten him in an extremely obvious way.

Lots of stuff gets discussed in this return episode. For example: how we were on hiatus but are no longer on hiatus, John Swartzwelder, how Kaleb bought a cowboy hat, etc.

Kaleb and James also play Colin Farrell and Vince Vaughn, so's to reenact our fake True Detective season two shooting script. We'll go back to that well, I bet.

Give us money please.

Kaleb digs a hole and James steadies his nerves against an oncoming storm at work. Then Kaleb plans his career as a hobo. Frasier explains Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs to a depressed Cliff.

We'll be taking two weeks off after this episode, because James seriously does have too much work to do. We let this one go long to compensate.

P.S. We're poor. Destitute, really.

This episode was recorded on Labor Day, so we allowed a guest, Nathan Roberson, to write our opening sketch. In the interest of full disclosure, you should know that he was paid The Last Exit Show's usual rate of no money at all. In New York City, this is sometimes called "writing for exposure." He had a line in there that was rewritten at the last minute for being Problematic. Watch as we fumble awkwardly because we forgot to rewrite it in any serious way. We'll be back to the usual routine of me writing sketches the hour before the show tapes starting next week.

We also talk, in scattershot ways, about Bettie Page, 90-year-old drug mules, and video games of all damn things.

If you want to give us money, none of which will be used to pay Nathan Roberson unless that affects your interest in also giving us money, you can do that over here at PayPal. I should probably not include the button every damn week. It comes off as desperate. But I am desperate, so hey.
