Blendover is back and we poke fun at Newt Gingrich’s Horseless Telephone
http://blendover.com/2013/05/14/dead-giveaway-a-horseless-telephone-is-watching-you/
We kick off this week’s Blendover with a short discussion about Doctor Who as the current series races to its conclusion. Later, we dive into the case of Tim Lambesis, lead vocalist from As I Lay Dying, who has been arrested and accused of trying to hire a hitman to kill his ex-wife! A strange story to say the least!
Meanwhile, we have the biggest laugh about Newt Gingrich’s stupid (and possibly drunk) rant about what to call a smartphone, even though it’s called a smartphone. We’re leaning towards one of the YouTube comments: Horseless Telephone. It’s worth a listen, seriously.We also have a look at a couple of the viral videos taking the web by the collar this week - including the enigmatic yet brilliantCharles “Dead Giveaway” Ramsey in the rescue of the three girls kidnapped for 10 years in Ohio, along with his auto-tune remix. Also, we listen to Jeff Bliss whose rage against the teachermachine also went gangbusters online this week.Of course, we also cover some of the ongoing stories including new information about the Texas explosion, the media’s misdirected coverage of The Dzhokhar, and the bees are disappearing. All this and more on the latest Blendover! Listen in, and LEAVE US A VOICEMAIL WITH YOUR THOUGHTS!! -

We Remember Jeff Hanneman of Slayer on this week’s Blendover
http://blendover.com/2013/05/07/hanneman-rising-a-slayers-blood-reign/
The metal world lost an icon this week, with the news that Slayer guitarist Jeff Hanneman had passed away. We pay tribute to this metal god of riffs from Hell, with some tunes and some of our thoughts on the media coverage. RIP Jeff Hanneman.
Later, we look at the big news that Disney and EA have struck an exclusive deal for future Star Wars video games - an announcement that has received mixed reactions from fans around the world.As usual, Blendover also takes a look at some of the news that is getting little to no coverage in the mainstream media - and this week we examine the announcement that Customs and Border Patrol will be required to increase scrutiny for people entering the country under student visas - but what is the immediate impact on current international students? We have the details on a poorly orchestrated “damage control” decision, that’s being somewhat slipped under the radar.All this and much more on the latest Blendover - Horns and Hails and PLAY SOME SLAYER!!!!! -

Blendover continues digging explosive connections, and also takes a look at Bitcoin
http://blendover.com/2013/04/30/privatrapez0id-cha0s/
After last week’s stunning revelations on the connections we made between the Boston bombings and the Texas detonation to Clockwork Solutions, we continue with more research, digging deeper finding even more corporate connections and interests tied to not only these events, but also to the Canadian train terror plot, plus the explosion in Alabama. Again, you won’t find this kind of coverage anywhere else online.
But that’s all much later in the show. For starters, we take a look at the mysterious 9/11 ROPE conundrum. The real deal? Staged? Something else? We dig into it a little and find nothing but more questions the media is not asking. Also, we go for a dive into the Bitcoin ocean, and come up with nothing but concerns about the whole setup. Are you a Bitcoin fan? Think you can send us a rebuttal? Well, listen in, and send us a voicemail reply if you do.Also this week, we come to the supposed conclusion of the McLelland murder in Texas - an investigation now getting zero coverage in the media despite the outrageous furor it received on national TV here in the USA. Terr brings up the new Xbox, to be unveiled in May; and one other thing: THE BEES ARE DISAPPEARING!All this and more on the latest Blendover! -

Blendover finds the connection between the Boston and Texas explosions
http://blendover.com/2013/04/23/countermotherclocked/
As usual, Blendover continues to focus on elements in news getting little coverage, and this week we find an odd connection between the Boston attack and the Texas explosion - in the form of Joe Berti who coincidentally witnessed both events. But who is Berti? And is it really a coincidence? Blendover has dug up the details discovering some shattering information highlighting that Berti is more than just a marathon runner…
In addition, we make some major corrections about the Texas explosion (or rather: detonation) that the mainstream media has not been making - we delve into the science that highlights that the media rarely check their facts. We also discuss our theories of how Dzhokhar Tsarnaev fits into the events in Boston, and come up with even more questions about the Boston Explosions.Meanwhile, we pay tribute to the magnificent Chrissie Amphlett of the Australian band, Divinyls, who sadly passed away this week. We also discuss our thoughts on the current Doctor Who series and the rumors surrounding John Hurt’s role in the 50th Anniversary Special.All this and more on the latest Blendover! -

Blendover looks at the Boston Marathon Explosions
http://blendover.com/2013/04/15/wtfifteen/
Recording the Fifteenth Episode on the Fifteenth day of April, we turn our attention to the attack in Boston during the annual marathon on Patriots’ Day (or Tax Day, take your pick) - a tragic event that has shocked the world. We discuss the facts as we know them up to this point, and highlight some of the sketchy reports that some may point at as questionable.
Meanwhile, over in the UK, the song “Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead” has been flying in the charts in ‘memory’ of Baroness Maggie Thatcher, but the BBC refuses to play it in full. SO, Blendover plays the song in full - but not the version you remember… the Bacon Queen, Amy Vernon, will be VERY happy with the version we’ve chosen ;-)Also this week, we follow up on the ongoing Zombie Apocalypse, and some updates about the McLelland case in Texas, as well as some weirdness that Terr brings to us from the UK - all this and more on the latest Blendover! -

http://blendover.com/2013/04/08/battlefront-of-the-badass-echelon/
The Amazing Ben Thompson has released his third Badass novel, focusing on Ultimate Deathmatches through history - and the man himself joins us on the show to discuss the new book, his new updated site, and what’s next in the Badass Empire.
We also jump into the news of the passing of Margaret Thatcher and Andy Johns, and play Corey Koehler’s new song in full, which is AWESOME… and we also play our first voicemail on the show - and you can also send us one too! Go to blendover.com and click on the SHOUT AT BLENDOVER link.Later we tear up the Lucasarts debacle - or rather, dissect the atrocious reporting of the new chapter of Lucasarts, and follow up on some of our news topics we’ve been examining such as the McLelland murder, the West Memphis Three, and more. -

Blendover survived April Fool’s Day
http://blendover.com/2013/04/01/on-the-edge-of-a-cypriot/
Blendover is back as we (ominously?) record our superstitous 13th episode on April Fool’s Day. Fate or an omen? It doesn’t matter because we soldier on and begin to deconstruct some of the unprofessional reporting by the media about the recent murder of a DA in Texas, that may be tied to white supremacists, although Greg hints he thinks it’s tied to some other organized crime.
As promised, we did our homework and report back to you about the crisis in Cyprus; an economic robbery by a number of different parties, consequences be damned! We also find a familiar voice in the mix, from a suspect individual we’ve heard before on the podcast.Later we feature a hard-edged band from Australia called THE MARK OF CAIN, and speaking of music, we also have a brief preview of Corey Koehler’s NEW song, released as we recorded the show! We close out with some crazy news from Oklahoma, and continue Pope Watch 2013. All this and more on Blendover 13! -

We Salute The Irish This Week
http://blendover.com/2013/03/26/the-irish-factor/
It’s a little late for St. Patrick’s, but we have several clips this week honoring some of the fiery and finest minds that call it as they see it this week, from both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. It’s worth the listen, because the mainstream wouldn’t dare cover these important statements that are still relevant.
Also, this week on Blendover, we announce how YOU can leave us a voice message, which we’ll play on the show and respond to! So leave us a message with your thoughts, questions, concerns, insults, and death threats!As promised, we follow up on our homework on viewing Blood And Chrome, and Black Mirror, and provide our reactions as requested by you, the listeners. We’re open for these suggestions - for books as well - so keep ‘em coming!We also talk Amanda Knox, Space and the Big POP, and much more on this week’s Blendover! -
