Episode 14 - Give Wywy A Sporting Chance (11/12/17)

You asked for it! You got it! (Did anyone ask for this?) Even if no one did, we are joined by Wywy himself!

That's right, Wyatt Danowski himself! We talk about education in England, the last time we got into a fight, and worst job experiences with our Real Human Bing questions. Then we discuss sports and the experience of being a fan here in Asia. Lastly, as always, we have our picks of the week! Bing it on Humans!

Episode 13 - Does Dan have Fuller Dreams? (11/5/17)

Yo yo yo Real Human Bings! We got a great convo with a great new Human Bing this week, Mr. Dan Fuller!

After we go over some Real Human Bing questions, including the oldest person you know and whether or not you'd sell your dog (among others), we also discuss "Blade Runner 2049." How does it effect the legacy of the original? What does it mean to be human? How dreamy is Ryan Gosling? All these questions and more! Last but not least, we have our Picks of the Week! Check it out guys!

Best Movie Music? You Decide! (10/17/17)

Howdy hey! This is a follow up to Episode 12 about the "The Foreigner."

In Episode 12: There's No Crying in Football (10/17/17), Aulden mentioned that Cliff Martinez, the composer for "Drive", also did the music for "The Foreigner."

Jacob then stated his opinion that the music from "Drive" was far superior and only poopy-diaper-pants boys liked music from "The Foreigner." Then Aulden said oh yeah wanna make something of it? And Jacob responded with yeah I do! And then they got into a physical fight which was very pathetic and got cut from the episode itself. So yeah.

Since it was not solved in the ring of (dis)honorable combat, we want to pass it on to you! Our Real Human Bing nation! You can listen below to two songs, each from a different movie and vote on your choice for the best! The identity of each song will be revealed later and the loser of the argument will be forced to do something embarrassing. I dunno... Eat their hat or something? Is that something people actually do?

Episode 12 - There's No Crying in Football (10/17/17)

Hey ya'll! This episode's got it all, Jackie Chan, football, and internalized racism and sexism! Wow! What more could you ask for from us Real Human Bings?

Joined by our wonderful friend Amanda Joyce, we break down the new Jackie Chan film, "The Foreigner" (2017)! Should you go see old man Jackie take try to take down Pierce Bronson? Listen and find out! We also go over our most recent REAL HUMAN FIELD TRIP to the Dalian football (or soccer) stadium. Lastly, we have a bummer time going over our picks of the week... Still! Sit down and take a listen!

Episode 11 - Beats by Jerry (10/4/17)

It's an extra long episode about Chinese music man! Not the Chinese version of the musical: the music man, but it's about music, man! (Commas save lives people)

Unfortunately, a bunch of audio was lost :( BUT that means that instead of being extra extra long, this episode is only extra long. We listen to some popular Chinese music (did you guess the topic?) then do a Real Human Bing Search on everyone's favorite, Jerry Springer.  Last but not least, our picks of the week where we get an assist from friend of the pod Amanda! Taste our audio with your ears! Do it! Do it now!

Episode 10.5 - BONUS POD: JFK Eats KFC at a Mysterious Park (9/16/17)

BONUS POD!

Short little episode today, complete with conversations from different sections of episodes that didn't make into the main one! We have JFK on the golf course, an argument atop a hill next to a Buddhist sculpture, and a random train convo that veers off course at the end toward Colonel Sanders if he were creepier than he was already... Check it out!

Episode 10 - Mysteriously Orienting Our Morals (8/25/17)

Crikey! What's that I see? Is it a Real Human Bing? On a Field Trip? That's right, it's a summer field trip boys and girls!

For our first installment of REAL HUMAN BING FIELD TRIPS, we went to a sculpture park with lots of Buddhist/Traditional/Legendary/Chinese/Tacky stuff. Our thoughts, as always, are briefly illuminating before we start talking about boners and crap. Also in this episode, we discuss morality and if it can be taught. Lastly, our picks of the week. Bing it up man!

Episode 9 - Golf Boyz Lose Their Fidginities (6/20/17)

Fore! Hoooooo boy, this one's a daggum humdinger! We went to a Chinese golf course and hit some balls with some metal sticks. That's pretty much what golf is right? (I've only ever been to a driving range...)

Aside from our own impressions of the golf course, we also discuss golf in China as a whole and how it effects the country. Then we get into it with our first new HUMAN BING SEARCH section about 2017's latest dead (?) fad: fidget spinners! Lastly, we end with our Picks of the Week and an impromptu rap in the voice of Karl Marx.

Episode 8 - Two Grownups watch Grownups Two (6/10/17)

We're back bae-beeeeee! Both with our second installment AND back in China! (The episode was recorded two months ago. Shhhhh! Don't tell anyone!)

In this episode, we talk about Grownups 2, the second in the Grownups duoliogy (?) and our opinions might actually surprise you! We then talk about the divide between artist and artistry through the lens of a (relatively) famous youtube mashup musician. Last we let you in on our picks of the week! Ready for a woke and then completely unwoke convo? Well doesn't matter, cause that's what we have! Onward!

Episode 7 - All Grown Up (5/20/17)

What have I done? In an example of man's hubris, I challenged Aulden to watch Adam Sandler's duo of Grown Ups movies. After only 15 minutes through the first one, we both were looking at the detergent under the sink as a possible option. (Jesus Jacob, suicide jokes? Pull yourself up here...)

Sorry about that. Anyways, we watched the first movie in this episode literally minutes before starting to talk. It's pretty bad. Between the odd timing choices, stupid as shit jokes/writing, and the misogynistic messaging, this is among the worst of Sandler's movies. But not the absolute worst... (???)

We talk about board games in our middle section and finally finish up with our Picks of the Week. Check it out!
