Hello, Tens. Welcome to the Grapes of Rad. We hope you like it here as much as we like your boy Luke. Please settle in, snoop around, and feel free to say hi. Love, Ben & Aaron
Topics include: Our first guest(!), getting dreamed about, Ben plays/sucks at “Steakhouse or Gay Bar,” Listener Seth mailed us a package, Video Prozac, music on the show, Aaron met the Presidents of the United States of America, a Badass of the Week/Listener Email combo, and, as always, That’s Messed Up.
Oh, and did we mention: We’ve got tons of Luke Burbank hanging out with us and being awesome! Check out and listen to Luke’s daily podcast “Too Beautiful to Live.” He & it are both totally rad.
Ben’s super high-class business card:

And Listener Seth sent us The Truck-Nuts of Righteousness:

Being unable to tell the difference between a steak place or a gay bar doesn’t mean you have sex with livestock, Ben.
That’s completely incidental.

Ever since getting kicked off the show things have never been the same between Ben and me. But after his, “I have sex with a cow” comment, he’s really in the dog house. You could’ve said it to my face, asshole.

I hate Wierd Al with all the hate in my heart. I had an old co-worker at an organization which shall not be known who seriously played Wierd Al all the time. THESAMECDALTHETIME.

Super OR glue? How about “glue, super or not”.
I just don’t want to have to explain to Ms. Crawford that, as the loyal listener, I can’t stick my penis in her.
(sorry for the dated supermodel reference, I’m a bit behind the times)

“They’re so veiny” reminded me of my friend Simone saying “Balls are stupid.”
I’m a big fan of TBTL now. I am a Michael Bolton FAN. I celebrate his ENTIRE CATALOG!
I love everything you guys do, thanks for the excellent thankless editing and the Statler Brothers song at the end.

Thank YOU for always having such lovely feedback. And for all the word-spreading I see you do around the internets. We are grateful.

In regards to homosexuality and the bible:
Those who know me well, know that my interests span beyond the realm of mixology and into the realm of all things Jew.
So, just a heads up, as far as the Tanakh (the original Bible… not the christian remix) is concerned, it mentions nothing about woman on woman homosexuality!!!
BOOYAAA!!! Loophole? Absolutely!
Who ever said that Elohim didn’t know how to throw a good party!!!

Hey Ben, I hope that business card pictured above was not the actual card you gave to Luke, because the web address is wrong. Its grapesofrad.com. not thegrapesofrad.com
Just lookin out.

Ok, you got me. I wrote the Grapes of Rad on it, and then thought “I should add the .com on there…” I failed. Thank you for pointing that out.
