Plus, Casey talks some baseball and we make a common kitchen appliance the AWESOME THING OF THE WEEK. In lieu of a guest this week, we read a story from our friend Josh Newman, the editor-in-chief of Generation Magazine in Buffalo. His story is "The 'Tirst." It's from a series of articles he completed while attending Trinity College in Dublin as part of a study abroad program. This show is not safe for work. Links for this episode: Casey's recommendations:  NONE! Casey is trying really hard to get a master's degree. Ren's recommendations: The Lumineers, a great folk-inspired band from Denver, Colo. Check out "Ho Hey," currently free in iTunes. This "Mad Men" theme interpretation featuring Allison Williams. Williams is the daughter of NBC news anchor Brian Williams and will appear in the new HBO show "Girls" this month. Stuff we talked about: This FUCKING awful song. Next, the worst MTV show in the world. Neil deGrasse Tyson schools James Cameron on stars Another just terrible song. A big thing made of little things is eating the Titanic (!)

What is that weird hand gesture they're doing during that song? Everything (Abridged) conducts a scientific study to answer these questions and more with our guest, Angus Hill (follow him on Twitter), who just went to his first Jimmy Buffett concert. One question we don't answer is what a quiche is. Turns out it is a savory, open-faced pastry crust dish with a filling of custard with cheese, meat and vegetables. Who knew? Also, to answer a thought-provoking question we bring up, this is what an artichoke looks like: Casey tells us the first thing he would have done if he were Che Guevara, and the sad reason he never smoked his Cuban cigar. Plus, talk about exciting new video games, why Electronic Arts sucks and more. And we can't close out the show without an update about Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch. All this and more on Everything (Abridged). This show is not safe for work. Links for this episode: Casey's recommendations:  Right Guard Cooling Gel: The best deodorant to smear all over your body.

Could this episode start any better? From an affirmation of the joy of taking a long pee to the phenomenon of LEGO shaming, this episode is chock full of stuff that’ll make you go wowee, egads or maybe even gadzooks. Perpetual nerd girl and fanfiction enthusiast Keeley Sheehan is back on the show to tell us why “The Hunger Games” isn’t just for people who devoured the books, and why offscreen violence in films is often more effective. And if you liked our spontaneous approximation of the Sonic the Hedgehog drowning music from the last show, you’ll really love it when we break out into not one, but two different ’90s dittys in this one. Ren finally addresses those pesky electronic cigarettes in Noun Shout (nobody else is doing it!) and Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch returns to close out the show. It’s Everything (Abridged). This show is probably not safe for work.   Links for this episode: Casey’s recommendation 10 O’Clock Live, another British series recommended by our all-American hunk Ren’s recommendations Julia Nunes, possibly the cutest thing in this world with a ukelele Towns, a new game that puts you in the role of, well, a town.

What show is being canceled due to dead horses? What did Ren do over spring break? These burning questions and more will all be answered in this week's episode of Everything (Abridged). This week's noun shout ranges from eccentric billionaires to Mexico's most dubious export, and from a whimsical instrument used by felines to one religion's most prominent figure. This week's show should have featured a segment about video games starring Ren's brother Corey and close Do This Thing! friend Jared Burdick, but an audio snafu messed up the segment. Corey recommended "Twisted Metal," a Playstation 3 game about cars blowing up other cars. Jared recommended the highly anticipated "Diablo III," which is finally being released on May 15. If you'd still like to listen to the segment, check it out here. This show is probably not safe for work. There are F-words!
