Selling Out

On this episode of the Selling Out Show, our esteemed hosts end up touching on topics related to the entertainment media. After Dave tells us about his somewhat frustrating recent trip to Mexico, Nate brings up the fabled days of Saturday morning cartoons, a phenomenon that’s long since dead and gone. After that, we get a history lesson on the origins of that ever present movie theater snack, popcorn. The show comes to a close after a somewhat dark one-two punch of segments focusing on the darker aspects of celebrity and entertainment. We hear about the current state of Comedian Artie Lange, who’s getting out of a short stint in jail, after years of struggling with addiction and mental illness. And finally, Nates Notes looks at some of those musicians who have succumbed to the demons influencing their saddest work.0:53- Dave’s resting vacation face5:11- Saturday morning memories11:56- History of a popular theater treat17:16- Artie Lange’s skid bid27:30- Nate’s Notes (musician suicides)40:44- Clip: New
