Sometimes in life you have to do without. This week we do without new host Truckin' Tommy, who is on assignment in The Magic Kingdom. Kevin does without sweet spousal love. The world goes without Dio. Ray goes for Biscuits without gravy. We ponder going to Disneyland without kids. And it goes without saying . . . this is one helluva episode. Kick back, crack open a cold one and enjoy!

Ray reveals the sordid history behind his nickname. Does it involve the game "Soak the Biscuit?" Rest in Peace Ronnie James Dio. New intro music. Why do grown men and women go to Disneyland without kids? What would you do if you won a huge lottery jackpot? Giving a Handie in exchange for really good hockey tickets. These are the subjects we tackle in the first section of the show.
The Intro song:
The First Break song:
In the next section of the show we reflect on how the Philadelphia Flyers made history by becoming only the fourth team in Pro Sports to come back from a 3-0 hole in a 7 game series. Not only that, but the Flyers were down 3-0 in game 7 as well. Inspired by their "Never Give Up" attitude, Zen reads a Top 5 list of the Top 5 things that are more historic than the Flyers victory over Boston. As the conversation continues, Zen and Ray discover that Peace has been spending the last week alone, as his wife is out on the sunny beaches of San Diego. Biscuit and Zen console Peace with Bob Marley's tune, "No Woman, No Cry" To close out the section, the guys play the "8-bit TV theme song game."
The second break song:
The guys next turn their expert pop culture eyes onto Adam West of TV's Batman and then Fred Travalena and Rich Little. Serendipitously, this leads to the creation of the new show segment "Obscure Celebrity - Dead or Alive?" This leads to Zen reading the "In Related News . . ." segment, detailing the top headlines over the past week in the pop culture zeitgeist. The Regret segment follows. Zen regrets scamming old people out of their records when he was young using the Church Scavenger Hunt scam, and Ray gets all soft and gooey as he regrets breaking up with the unpopular girl in High School, all John-Hughes style. The girl is promptly named "Apple Boobs" and we hope to hear more news about her in coming episodes.
The third break song:
In the closing section of the show, we highlight the episode's Mexican Word of the Day - "Spray 'N Wash." Zen wonders why anyone would buy the men's hair dye called "Touch of Grey." Then Picks, a few really bad jokes and email from The Arizona Pop Culture Museum. The museum looks pretty cool and right up our alley, so a Podcast Field Trip to check it out should be in the works soon. Picks for this episode: Kevin picks the OMG burger, a twelve patty monstrosity highlighted on a recent episode of Man V. Food. The Lots of Meat challenge can be had at Lindy's on Fourth in Tucson, Arizona. If any listeners of the show can get us pictures of this burger, please email them in! Ray picks the TV show The Big Bang Theory. Here's a small clip:
The Outro Song is:

Kevin's birthday. Kevin Smith show review. Arizona SB1070. Pro Sports teams on the move. The Summer Movie tagline game. "In Related News . . ." The Untamed Heart/Return to Me Bad Acting Game. Babes of Yesteryear. The Haiku Movie Review winner announced. Mexican Word of the Day. Musical selections from Bands native to Arizona. 4 hosts. 4 differing opinions. In spanish, four is "Cuatro."
(download this episode as an .mp3. Direct download link located at the end of the show notes.)
With 4 hosts instead of the usual 2, several things have now become clear: * The name of the show may undergo an informal change. While it is fiscally unreasonable that it be changed on the website and on iTunes, ZAP in our hearts doesn't just stand for "Zen and Peace," it also stands for "Zen and Pals."
* Kevin, Ray and Tom are all funny dudes.
* The show is greatly improved when it has more voices. The old adage has been proven true: "The More, the Merrier!"
Right off the bat, I have to apologize for some audio issues with the show. I (Zen) recently had a fatal hard drive crash and I lost everything. Back up your data, people. Learn from my mistakes. Anyway, I had to reinstall and start from scratch and when we recorded the episode I apparently had my microphone improperly set up. My audio track, and mine alone, is "cooked." I did the best I could to clean up the quality, but it is still pretty rough in spots. It is worth listening to, however. If you want to introduce friends to our little show, this is a good episode to share with them. Everyone was drinking and having a good time and the laughs were rolling from the very start. I have to thank Tom and Ray, who sacrificed their time to be part of the recording. I hope they return often in the future. Segments we revisit in this episode include:
The winning Haiku is "Fargo" Frozen, pent-up rage Partner's in the woodchipper Oh yeah, you betcha! Congratulations to Kim K. for garnering enough votes to win our contest!
- Bishop - Budweiser
In between the laughs, we strayed into a serious topic. Arizona State Bill #1070 is hotly debated here in our home state, and we just couldn't avoid talking about it. In true Zen and Peace fashion, however, we only joke around and say rude and offensive things. Do not expect to hear anything political or topical on the subject. Just bad Mexican jokes. Sorry. All music played during this episode are songs from bands in Arizona. If you listen to the show and aren't from The Grand Canyon State, I hope this will give you a good representation of our local music scene.
Intro Song:
The second song and the Outro song are by "Marina" at the first break, closing is "Laying Down Lost"
The third song played is "Meant to Be" by Flagstaff band
The fourth song played is "Overcast" by Tucson band and show favorite
Picks for this episode: Kevin picks: The Foreign film "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" Tom picks: WLW Cincinnati's Mike McConnell Ray picks: The Book "Geek Love" by Katherine Dunn Zen picks: Stupid for Movies movie review website, produced by Mike Rotman. If you want to know what Mike Rotman tweeted that set Zen off, you should follow him on Twitter also. Mike is a producer on Kevin Pollak's Chat Show as well as a producer of his own Web content, so he usually has something interesting to say on Twitter. twitter.com/mikerotman
