This year…we phoned it in…literally (or is that figuratively?) The entire show was delivered via The Scope voicemail line. It’s an uncensored, unfiltered look at four days of geeky fun.

    And just to make it interesting, we forced other con-goers besides Jared and Shane to dial in and voice their drunken opinions on all of the festivities.

    CONvergence 2009 may be a distant memory, but now you can experience it for the first time (right along with Adam!)

    Episode 76 is digging beer pong and the free “zombie snot” shots at the Con.

I think we all had a lot of fun, and there were many calls into the voicemail line — although how many were not from us or friends of the show remains to be heard.

    Although it would be nice to have our special CVG episode posted now for everyone to experience, it’s going to take some time to assemble. No doubt some of the calls will be in need of some audio massage to get them ready to assemble. Please be patient while we put it together for you.

However, our approach to content will be a little different.

    We’ve decided to leverage our voicemail line to give power to the people. We want to hear your stories about CONvergence — prefereably as they happen. Here’s how it works:

    CALL US

    646-495-9201
    Enter 70055 at the extension prompt.

    TELL US YOUR CON STORY

    Don’t leave out any details.

    LISTEN TO THE SHOW

    twitter.com/thescopeshow

    We’re also advertising our “Find These Guys, Win a Prize” campaign. Basically, if you find us at the con, we’ll ask you questions, and you’ll win a cheap prize.

    That’s the deal, folks. We hope to see a lot of you there. And remember: the fate of our show relies on you!

Plus, I think you guys were expecting us to review the film, and we do as we’re told.

    Join Jared and Shane — Adam had the good sense to stay away — as they dissect every last tender morsel of Michael Bay’s latest opus with special guests fan-favorite Earl and the great Luke Ski. Oh, and Nathan was there too, waggling his tongue and swigging Baileys Irish Cream the whole time.

    One more thing: you might notice the din of a party in the background. This party is not in celebration of Michael Bay and his cinematic achievement; that’s just how we roll.

For those of you that must know, we’re talking about Possible Oscar’s bass humping fiend, Nathan (sorry, no video online to demonstrate video here!), and Guns N’ Roses’ stalker (GNR was a hip band in the late 80s and early 90s…look em up, whippersnappers) Mike.

    These two “gentlemen” were kind enough to play in our first official “Geek Match Game.” You know how we roll: we steal ideas from long-established concepts and then throw in some questions about G.I.Joe and virginity to make the thing our own. Good times.

    We also steal from ourselves by bringing Jared’s Micro-Reviews from Twitter into the actual show. Talk about cross-synergy!

    And finally, another huge shout-out to Mike. He was insane demented generous enough to sponsor the very historic 75th episode of our labor of love. Mike, you can ride on the G-String Shuttle anytime you want.

That being said, they don’t have Scope Music Expert, Al, in studio to help them out like we do. And, as we all know, anytime Al stops by, everything in the world is A-OK.

    And in an unusual twist of events, your Scope crew reviews TWO summer movies. Unfortunately for Adam, one of them isn’t the Nia Vardalos vehicle, My Life in Ruins.

    We also managed to see another big summer blockbuster film — don’t get used to it. Eventually we’ll crash and burn and leave you, the poor listener, without significant and timely movie-related content.

    All that, plus Adam indulges himself with an extended news segment that constitutes a large portion of the show’s bulbous running length. As usual, he doesn’t get any help from the rest of us with keeping things tight. You’ve been warned.

    Word of warning: if the show isn’t as awesome as it usually is, you have only yourself to blame; your Scope hosts can only be as good as the questions submitted. If the show soared, feel free to pat yourself on the back. If it sputtered, feel free to verbally abuse yourself. (It’s what we do after every show. Try walking in our shoes, punks!)

    The gents also review the latest from The Doves and try something never attempted: an instant random review of a long gone television program. Frasier and Ray’s wife, we hardly knew ye.

The guys, after promising for months to answer listener-submitted questions, finally deliver the goods. Word of warning: if the show isn't as awesome as it usually is, you have only yourself to blame; your Scope hosts can only be as good as the questions submitted. If the show soared, feel free to pat yourself on the back. If it sputtered, feel free to verbally abuse yourself. (It's what we do after every show. Try walking in our shoes, punks!) The gents also review the latest from The Doves and try something never attempted: an instant random review of a long gone television program. Frasier and Ray's wife, we hardly knew ye.

Why would he do that? Our guess is to work on his current passion project: hydroponic eggplant farming. Don’t ask. He won’t tell.

    After listening, we’re sure Adam will be kicking himself. He missed out on the most unsexy sexy episode of the Scope ever. Yes, the show was dedicated to the number “69″ and all of the naughtiness that goes with it.

    While The Scope didn’t get all that nasty, Jared and Shane did tell some moderately embarrassing stories about past sexual transgressions. Newsflash: the guys were not the ultimate lady-killers you imagined them to be. (Insert uncomfortable serial-killer comedy here.)

    We also let some of our listeners listener get in on the act by reading her embarrassing story live! And Metrobuzzer John Norton comes through big time with one of the most impactful sick twisted truthful voicemails ever. Don’t taze me, Dude!

Yes, we’re talking about yet another sci-fi convention. But at least this time The Scope’s fanbase turned out in mass to support our appearance….right? (sob.)

    We also review the latest album from U2 and the latest comic book movie, Watchmen.  If you would have been lucky enough to watch #68 recording live, you could have seen Adam shave all of his body hair and paint himself (yes, including his rig) blue. Just like Dr. Manhattan. Very, very sexy.

    Buckle up, Scope faithful. This extremely long episode — from hosts that have been called “kinda arrogant jerks” by the reviewing masses — packs a lot of pop culture info.

    And a lot of one single Christian Bale sound clip. Good for you, indeed.

We’d like to say that extra week will bring you all sorts of added, super-awesome content…but we’d be lying. The Scope is marginal at best. And any more time won’t change that sad fact.

    That being said, we’ll be back with the first-ever “Fan Show!” That means your input will decide the direction of the show. So send any questions, comments, or topic suggestions to us and we’ll do our best to address them on this or another show. It should be spectacular! We’ll also swing the review sledgehammer at the new U2 album and the TV show, Big Bang Theory.

    Thanks for hanging with us! A new show will be posted by March 16th, 2009.

Adam finally returns from his very important mission of spreading his charming brand of aloof elitism across the deep south.

    Also, fan-favorite-female Molly stops by to poo-poo Shane’s Oscar talk formatting and to anchor The Scope’s Oscar predictions.

    And, last (but not least,) Jared tries to destroy the space/time continuum by attempting to post the show to the internet BEFORE it is finished taping. We think he’s watching too much Lost.

    We’re putting out a request to you, the people that have to listen to our little show. We want to know what you would like us to talk about on The Scope?

    Are you itching to listen to us review Police Academy 2? What about latest from Missy Elliott? Or is there something about Jared, Adam, or Shane you just have to know?

    Post your comments, questions, and suggestions right here, right now! We’ll tackle them on an upcoming edition of the show. And we’ll mention your name, too!

    Thanks for listening!

    We also spend a little time on the current season of Lost (we’re no Jay and Jack, but we have opinions nonetheless) and we spend a little more time on Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids. Who knew an overweight, morbidly obese African-American was part of Jared’s imitation arsenal?

    No one but his Mom.
