  • The Hands of a Surgeon

    Well wash your hands three times and grab a scalpel, healthy listener, ‘cuz Buddies In Space are gonna cut you open and stuff you full of…humor… OK, that started better than it ended up, huh? Mike shares why waiting on doctors sucks and how he coped with it (hint: it involves snark). Videogames get a…

  • Vomiting Up Memories

    Travel back in time, dear listener, as Buddies In Space hypnotize you and unpack your childhood recollections. Well, really they just unpack more of their own childhood recollections. And instead of hypnosis, they use alcohol. So that entire lead-in sentence was a lie. The horrors of S’mike’s childhood are brought to light, from the “lunches”…

  • Predator-Style Huntin’ Camo with Matching Manly Slippers

    The Buddies old-man-it-up this episode, sipping on the premier seafood-based drink of Toronto. Also, a very sad review of Avengers is conducted, where James Spader’s Ultron is described as “douche bag Shakespeare.” Spoiler: they didn’t love it. What the heck happened to that movie?! Other discussion highlights include the unfairness of playing first person shooters…

  • Myths and the Dark Side (of Geekdom)

    “And lo, did Buddies In Space return to form.” No guests. No gimmicks. Just sheer, unmitigated, mildly antagonistic geek humor, baby! The Star Wars ticket pre-sale madness gets it’s due while hipster-Jamaican drinks are thrown together and consumed. Computer names and builds are discussed and then, inevitably, argued over. Warning: there’s some nerd smack-talk up…

  • With Special Guest Ben Coury, Political Pundit and Entrepreneur!

    For this episode, the Buddies are joined by national Man of Mystery and Mike’s oldest friend from high school, Mr. Benjagamin Coury (his pronunciation). He’s many things: Scholar. Political Theorist. Web Designer. Former Store Manager of a Certain Evil Cell Phone Retailer. And he’s blowing the whistle on EVERYTHING. OK, some of that isn’t true.…

  • Tasmanian Devil Face Cancer

    Woah Nelly, does this episode start out dark! Mike delves into the insanity of a recent death in the family, and the Buddies attempt to find humor in it where they can. More of Mike’s cult background is also discussed. ‘Cuz that’s funny, right? Right?! Things move on to lighter fare when S’Mike provides one…

  • With Hilarious Special Guest Abby Devuyst, the Busiest Woman In Showbiz!!!

    The Buddies are joined by good friend and fellow Unleashed Improv veteran Addy Devuyst, an actress and comedienne performing in no less than 40 shows during the 10-day Rochester Fringe Festival. That’s as exhausting as it is impressive! Marvel at Abby’s sparkling wit as she proves both her geek and Greek cred to the Buddies,…

  • Kampai!

    In true Japanese drinking fashion, the Buddies tie one on with the assistance of two bottles of good sake. They drink wayyyyyyy more than usual, and by the end… out come the awkward prom date stories. That being said, go ahead and file this episode under “educational.” What? Drunk AND informative? How can this be?!…

  • Wallet Archaeology

    S’mike provides a rare gem, allowing the Buddies to mine his high school and college wallet, untouched for many a year. Seriously, no man should have this many- *CONTENTS REDACTED**CONTENTS REDACTED**CONTENTS REDACTED**CONTENTS REDACTED**CONTENTS REDACTED**CONTENTS REDACTED**CONTENTS REDACTED**CONTENTS REDACTED**CONTENTS REDACTED**CONTENTS REDACTED**CONTENTS REDACTED**CONTENTS REDACTED**CONTENTS REDACTED**CONTENTS REDACTED**CONTENTS REDACTED**CONTENTS REDACTED**CONTENTS REDACTED**CONTENTS REDACTED**CONTENTS REDACTED* -kind of horrific, am I right?
