The DLP Agenda (Formerly The Rob and Joe Show)

Raking PTSD

Rob and Joe follow-up on the fight between the Robinson brothers last week. Ultimately it seems that everyone would really prefer to limit Restivo’s participation in the show. The Merry Murder Mystery debut is a success…with a mess. After four and a half years, suddenly there is debate over show’s closing music. Rob is incredulous when his Cards Against Humanity answers are instantly dismissed at a recent get-together. Howard Stern is in the news and Rob and Joe have thoughts on his satellite radio contract, his career and his comments on podcasting. With Rob’s girlfriend being a brand new homeowner, he is concerned that he’s not a handy-around-the-house type of guy. Joe confesses that his ability to do some chores is hindered by childhood trauma. There are warning signs that Rob’s next gig for the troops overseas might be a lot more dangerous this time. Some predictions are made about the reaction to Star Wars: Episode VII.

Foot Cramp

Rob and Joe are without Robby and the chat again. They talk about both, and why their absentee producer is so mad. There is more news on the Mystery Science Theater  reboot.

Silly Sex

The alleged curse that Joe has brought to the Baltimore Ravens is propagating due largely to one listener.
