The IIS Talk Show is finishing the year strong! All three of your pals are ready to talk about Luigi Mangione & why he didn't ditch his weapon. What the hell dude!? The fellas dissect the context of United Healthcare's CEO death beyond the morality of murder. We got one email this week & it's from our pal David who takes us back in time to the mid-2000s when The Whitest Kids U Know was a thing. Of course we also have Luke's ramblings, Govier being too loud & Steve's unpleasant but important societal reminders. We love you all!

Our consistency knows no bounds! Another show brings with it two brand new emails from iconic show emailers Mr. Pink & Joe! This week Govier goes off again on how amazing The Lever's podcast series The Master Plan is! It's a must listen for those of you who don't know or chose to forget how the United States became as corrupt as it is now. It's not a random accident folks. It just isn't.

We just can't get it right still, can we?! No Luke on the show this week. He had to split at the last second. We wish him well. Govier and Steve are here though and they have a few thoughts roughly 48 hours after the polls closed on Election Day 2024 in the bozo USA. The first 25 minutes has plenty of talk about what happened there, but there are also plenty of other goodies on this week's show including an email from our old friend Mr. Pink! We love you all!

It's Luke & Govier AGAIN, but something truly is better than nothing. Right? Steve is alive & well. It's just a travel week for him is all. Govier's audio was not properly connected and Luke could not hear that it wasn't a $500 mic compared to the internal laptop mic. Luke literally said Govier's audio was "perfect". That means you won't hear any drops in this episode., You can try try to guess which one it is at each time then. Our friend Brian died suddenly on Monday so there was no way to avoid talking about him. He was worth it though. Brian was a guy who all people could find something to like in him. We are crushed. No emails this week again. We miss you! We love you all! This talk show is not the same without you listening & emailing us your highly entertaining & thoroughly analyzed thoughts.

Laserdiscs! Remember those things? Govier is pumped for his dated, but healthy new collection of LD's. Jeremy Irons appreciation is strong on this show in case you didn't know. Luke defends the acting of Campbell Scott who is the son of the legendary figure George C. Scott. Get ready for laughs when George lights up a heater in an old interview. Luke may have beef with Cameron Crowe & Citizen Dildo. Somehow Dave Pirner gets in the mix because he was in Reality Bites, but really his composition for Chasing Amy's title credits is what really stands out when Pirner comes to mind. Steve finally gets to talk about the non-fiction book called Among The Bros. There is no way you will be bored or zone out when you hear this story. It's funny, terrifying & absurd all at once. Also get ready to not be shocked when Steve reads off the names of well known people who come from a fraternity background known for its racist tendencies across multiple generations. We got your emails! Joe writes us for the first time in a bit & he's got a brief email about the Telegram app & the possible scumbag Pavel Durov who owns it. Mark Zuckerberg through the United States government recently, but neither of these parties can be trusted. Govier recalls the 1995 classic film Full Body Massage starring Mimi Rogers & Cocktail's Bryan Brown. There is a classic scene involving Bryan Brown asking Mimi's character,"Is this how Doug does it?". It was constantly repeated by the entire crew of this show for many years starting back in 2004. Check it out if you've never seen it! Our most dedicated podcast lover Mr. Pink emails the show! Pink has an undying passion for Luke's sexy vocal prowess. Cinema 9 Podcast host & indie horror director Eric Branstrom emails the show about his latest Sopranos rewatch & has questions about personal experiences with mob ties. Luke makes it clear he does not want to be near a dead body. Would you rat your friends to avoid jail time? Luke & Steve learn about a shared family history related to the OSS formed by the United States government back during World War II. Govier still cannot find that damn clip from Full Body Massage. Have you heard the comedic stylings of Nato Green? Check out Steve's new show Small Screen Sessions & support our friend Van Lee over at the Boob Tube Boys. We love you all!

We're still here once more! How dumb are we? We're locked in hot & heavy with Luke schooling Steve from the onset over Derrick Coleman's jersey number. How about that? Govier lives in Canada now & has been watching Luke play softball from across the Detroit River. Luke shares some new comedy with us from some guy named Dan Cummins. Luke saw Hope Davis at a bar once in NYC. Leigh Ann pops in to say hello to everybody! Govier loves to laugh at the whiskey laugh & then the gratuitous cursing from the guy who robs the party store in Robocop. It's so funny! Luke loves boomer TV & has wistful nostalgia for the Murder She Wrote & Columbo days. Then Cancer Boy from Kids In The Hall's Brain Candy shows up. Govier found himself in the crosshairs of someone's rage on the day of the Trump shooting. Never forget that Richard Simmons died that day too. The Joker premise of it's all part of the plan from The Dark Knight remains true today. Govier wanted to share his experience chatting with his co-worker about the Democratic National Convention & how the goal posts for meaningful change can be vastly different for each person depending on several factors. Luke & Govier don't seem to understand each other, which happens on this show. Can you listen to or watch shows where they review a movie in-depth even though you haven't seen it? We have your emails! They are all from Mr. Pink who is clearly our number one guy on the show! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts with us through electronic messaging. We are grateful. We love you all! This talk show is not the same without you listening and emailing us your highly entertaining thoughts. We close the show with Graduate by Third Eye Blind.

The 4th of July seems like a distant memory now that Joe Biden has suddenly become feeble. Yet, the show presses on with hard hitting topics such as who had the best holiday experience. Luke wants to know if Pizza Hut was ever decent or not. The debate comes up for a minute, but there isn't much else to be said about it other than playing a stumblin', bumblin' Biden clip on YouTube. Mike still loves the movie Election (1999) even if he is known for being an Alexander Payne stan. Luke's kid knows how to swim already! Steve had a blast on the 4th in West Virginia with which opens up the debate about fireworks. Are they hell on earth or is it overhyped trash? Mike is know a legit resident in Canada & he spent hif 4th of July moving. Can you guess the monthly rent on Mike's new dump in Windsor, Ontario? Luke wants to know if anybody has seen Dev Patel's Monkey Man yet. A Time Bandits remake is coming out on Apple Plus. Luke is not a fan of Terry Gilliam's movies including the classic Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas! WOW DUDE! We got your emails ya'll! Mr. Pink is in the house first with a checklist verifying the United States is absolutely working in the way it was intended to by certain people. Nobody can forget the time when the Democratic Party lined up & sold out entirely to ensure Joe Biden's victory in 2020 eliminating Bernie Sanders from contention forever Mike is crapping his pants because now that he's living in Canada as a legit resident, he receives access to all the wonderful social support nets in place. Happy days are here again! Insurance billing thrives off the misery they bring every time they sent an unexpected bill from visits that took place months ago. Finn Gurrer & Finn Gurrer Junior send in separate emails. One of them to curse Luke & the other one to curse everybody else. The people of New Brunswick have been developing brain problems that can only be explained by the local families & their companies who poison the area. Also, the Crypt Keeper has a new competitor on the show. Watch out! Mike wants to know if Steve ever heard of the Sega Channel that was online streaming games back in 1995. Steve is quite familiar with the Republican Attorney General's Association which is another example of a highly organized attempt to push an extreme agenda that puts the needs of corporations over the need of the people. We love you all! This talk show is not the same without you listening and emailing us your highly entertaining thoughts. We close the show with Method Actor by Nilufer Yanya.

We're back! Luke has a story to share about his headphones. Hawk-Tuah girl has something to say about it as well. What's your favorite yeah in a pop song? We got your emails! Mr. Pink is back in the house after a hiatus from emailing. His message is filled with show moments recalled over the last few months of listening. Plus Pink wants to thank the show for providing new media information sources beyond the mainstream. Was Pink able to stick with it or did life get too hard? Find out by listening you spoon-fed bozos. Does a rueben sandwich have a proper rating? Is Stoicism overrated? Is Brett Butler's Hey Nadine the apex of the show?! Louis Gossett Jr. is greatly missed & apparently everybody needs to see Diggstown. Distractions abound with Toy Soldiers & KIDS Incorporated taking over the show briefly. Donald Sutherland is no more & we all owe him a tip of the cap for his efforts during his life. John Candy as Orson Welles. You can thank us later. If you're crapping on floors, make sure you use paper towel. Luke does his very first impression on the show which may be an Irish accent or possibly anything else. Finn Gurrer goes DEEP with his latest email. Luke is not a fan anymore. Which Ice Cube album is his best & why is Westside Connection deserving of more love? Luke wants everybody to watch the new documentary about human rights catastrophes in Gaza called The Night Won't End. Steve followed through on his commitment to check out the prison drama Oz from 1997. Was it lame? Did it ring true? Is the truth somewhere in between? Luke rubbed elbows with some of the best actors in American film in over the last 30 years in his old life back in New York City. Zelijko Ivanek who everybody will know from his face on the cover of this episode & Frank Langella who has had a career filled with memorable roles. Steve's been around now for 33 episodes as a show mainstay. Never forget Yoda & Crypt Keeper! We love you all! This talk show is not the same without you listening and emailing us your highly entertaining thoughts. We close the show with Sharpshooter by From Monuments To Masses.

Luke is back in the saddle with the crew as he's prepping to head to Chicago this weekend. Steve can't stop laughing about the duper balloons that came from North Korea & then gently drifted into South Korean territory. We got your emails! This week we only have one & it's from a Finn Gurrer disciple! When's the last time you thought of Yahoo? Are they dead yet? The fellas ponder which time is the ideal time to drink Pabst Blue Ribbon. Black Rock & Citadel Securities are planning to start their own stock exchange in Texas. It's all about the state you're standing in apparently. The neoliberals, who go by their pen name Democrats, have a new voice working full time now on their behalf: Robert DeNiro. Govier found a new clip from a song with a dumb sounding voice along the lines of Collective Soul & Color Me Badd. Welcome to hell! Election 2024 is ratcheting up which is why Joe Biden tried to get tough on immigration on the Mexican border. Luke has a numerical solution for what Biden can do to get in the good graces of rational human voters. Remember Macklemore!? He's got a new song on the scene called Hind's Hall that was actually brought up by Luke with the message focusing on the Israeli genocide in Palestine. That leads to Govier's memory of Macklemore hanging out with former President Obama for an opioids thingy. Awkward! Steve has an under the radar reminder that is over 200 years old from George Washington who even back in the 1790's had concerns about partisanship in the USA. Did you know Dr. Phil has a new network he's launching called Merit Street Media. The good doctor is here to find the middle ground in mainstream media. Steve does a hilarious impression of that Texas doofus. Have a chuckle when you watch the video of someone throwing a milkshake at Brexit douche Nigel Farage. Everybody is crushed that Bill Walton recently shook off his mortal coil. Steve & Mike are big fans & Steve offers up a tribute with some of Walton's all-time doozies as an NBA broadcaster. We'll miss you Bill! Of course when Walton comes up, so does the Grateful Dead who Walton followed religiously as a concert-goer. Luke wasn't sure if he knew a single song by them which means Luke's mind was ready for some enlightenment on the matter. Steve loves the show Hacks & he wants to know why Govier is watching the prison drama Oz from the early 2000's instead. Luke wants everyone to know that the Netflix show Eric starring Benedict Cumberbatch sucks because he's not from a divorced family. We love you all! This talk show is not the same without you listening and emailing us your highly entertaining thoughts. We close the show with Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond Of Each Other by Orville Peck & Willie Nelson.

No Luke for this one because Mike ran late at work. You get Steve & Govier this time around. Where was cocaine use at in the 1950s? We got your emails! Joe checks in with some possible show title replacement options including a classic crack about Luke's movie passion. Steve has a reminder about the incredible resourcefulness of your local public library. The Trip starring Steve Coogan & Rob Brydon never gets old for the fellas when it comes to Anthony Hopkins & Michael Caine impressions. Mike's first job ever was at a bowling alley & golf range fun place where he had ot be at work picking up golf balls at 6AM. Finn Gurrer emails in to ask which one you got: one bourbon, one scotch or one beer? George Thorogood style. The word is out that there are plenty of micro plastics floating around in the testes of male humans & dogs as well. Welcome to hell. Ticketmaster & Live Nation are finally having their monopoly challenged by the federal government. Eddie Vedder is celebrating today! The guy from Band of Horses is from James Island in the Charleston South Carolina area. Steve has a classic tale about drinking with that dude one night long ago with friend of the show David. Mike is then reminded of when some bars in the Charleston area were open until 5AM which is a terrible idea. Braid & Minus The Bear show tales ensue as well. Steve & Mike recall the summer adventure of witnessing major league baseball underachiever Yoan Moncada live at the Charleston Riverdogs minor league ballpark back in 2015. Steve's frustrated about the foul call disparity in every NBA playoff series the Indiana Pacers are involved in this playoff season. Lastly, Steve shares the name of a fella who is paying attention to how lame Bill Simmons has become now that he's a lazy millionaire. We love you all! This talk show is not the same without you listening and emailing us your highly entertaining thoughts. We close the show with May 16 by Lagwagon.
