The Ruckus 022: The Tough Questions

29 11 2008

playbutton
The Ruckus is back and it’s tired of pussy-footin’ around with all the little mamby-pamblers. This time we get right down to the brass tacks and start asking the tough questions. We’ve decided to just start asking socially inapropriate questions and giving our honest answers. How bad-ass is that? Not bad-ass enough? Well after the questions, we had a knife fight like in the Beat It video. Only instead of knives, we wielded live alligators and instead of dancing around like pansies in the breeze, we punched marines in their noses. Then we went out and picked up heavy things and put them back down again!

For episode 22 The Ruckus bench pressed ten reps of three hundy while listening to: Shari Elf – Jerk-a-lator off of the album: I’m Forcing Goodness Upon You.

The early caveman said, “there should be a way to move things around without having to drag them around in the mud.”  Thusly, he invented the wheel.  Then early cavewoman said, “hey I should attach those wheels to my feet and beat the shit out of other cavewomen.”  Thusly, Roller Derby was born.  Five million years later the most recent evolution of the art, The Psycho Ex-Girlfriends took time out of their busy schedule of rescuing puppies from burning towers and breaking hearts everywhere to come into The Ruckus studio and record an episode of our podcast.  My people, I give you our Roller Derby episode.
