The Slacker Factor Podcast, Episode 27: Never Trust Nero
Episode 27: Is it the end of the world, as we know it? Patty doesn’t know, and she speaks her doubts about trusting anything anymore. Christian ignites a conversation about vitamin supplements, and whether or not he trusts them. In the end, Rob saves the future, and the podcast, by sharing the retro-bass-beat and video-game-like vocals of Nero. Are you ready?

Holding Up The Mirror And Laughing
Posted on March 30, 2011 | By Patty Pino | No Comments
It’s a thin line between comedy and tragedy. A thin, beautiful line that, when watching Portlandia, makes me wince while laughing hysterically.
Yes, I was hit on by the body fully-pierced-with-safety-pins guy at the Jim Rose Circus Side Show. No, I didn’t go there. Yes, I considered Clown College after high school. No, I didn’t go there. Yes, I’m strangely attracted to things with birds on them. Yes, I found the crazy Harajuku fashion in Japan all glittery and fascinating. Yes, I have declared things “Over” and, most sadly, have probably been a catalyst for things being over, too.
We love Fred Armisen, Carrie Brownstein and Jonathan Krisel for their absurd and brilliant creation, and we secretly loath them for reminding us of our sometimes lame ways.
