Neal asks: When it comes to the Super Bowl, is the game just a break for the ads? Neal says yes, but that's mostly because he doesn't know anything about football. Nick disagrees. And Justique just has halftime show ennui.
Neal thinks that the NFL was crazy for letting MIA on the show in the first place, at which point Nick reminds him that terrorism is not a genetic trait. Justique, on the other hand, just hated Madonna's performance.
Once all of the Super Bowl talk is done, Nick wants to talk about Sheba, Baby (on Netflix and Amazon). The film has a water sports fight scene wherein Pam Grier rides a jet ski into battle, spraying casual racists with a flared barrel gun.
After Neal and Nick pen the latest mega-dance hit -- Do the Martha Stewart -- live on the podcast, then it's time to talk about...
The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret. Nick (that's me!) is currently obsessed with it, especially loving the David Cross humor and the show's editing. While it's not new, it seems like everybody is suddenly feeling this comedy series.
Well, everybody except for Neal. But that's okay because he has his own British TV show that he's digging right now...
Sherlock. And Neal's not the only person loving this 21st century reinvention of Sherlock Holmes -- it's a pretty big hit on the interwebs. But it's led Neal to wonder: does British TV suffer from being too closely related to Shakespeare?

After that, Nick wants to talk about his new audiobook passion, Going Rogue... as read by its author, Sarah Palin! Plus, NealShyam.com got a revamp.
Finally, after the end theme, the guys take it back to the earliest days of the AudioShocker Podcast and reveal their confessions.
It's the ultimate battle you've all been waiting for... the supreme throwdown of all beef supremes... it's...
These AudioShocker co-founders and podcast co-hosts can't agree on anything in this episode covering important topics such as Beyonce's birthing process, British actors on TV vs. British actors in film, and Fletch vs. Fletch Lives...
Finally, after their massive battle of the brains, Neal and Nick put out a wild offer to listeners -- if you think you can do better, then DO IT. We want you to take the AudioShocker Podcast "I Can Do It Better" Challenge.
What's that, you ask? WELL I'LL TELL YOU: we'll let you and a friend host the AudioShocker Podcast for one full month. If, after that month, you've been able to produce weekly episodes better than us, we'll let you continue to host Tuesday's AudioShocker Podcast for three weeks out of every month... for eternity! For more info, email nick@audioshocker.com.
But if you're too chicken to do that and you just wanna leave us feedback, call our automated comment line at 412-567-7606 and we'll play your message on the show.

Justique and Nick watched tons of Haruhi Suzumiya anime (Season 1, Season 2, and the movie) over the weekend. Unfortunately, Neal hates new anime.
Nick thinks Neal is now officially a weird (and/or creepy) uncle, but Neal thinks he's gonna be the "cool" uncle (if there even is such a thing).
Then a conversation about PBS donation drives leads to a rant about children's entertainment. And... is life more rigorous for kids now than it was before?
Finally, after the end theme, Neal confesses his love for romantic comedies.
Note from Nick: BUT WAIT... THERE'S MORE! The reason today's episode is going live a few hours late is because I was posting the latest release from the Unlicensed Attorneys at Law, my rap group. It's called the The Bacon and Eggs EP, and you can find it on SoundCloud, Bandcamp, PureVolume, YouTube, and the Unlicensed Attorneys website. It's three free songs with some extremely offensive NSFW work rhymes. Basically, it's not for everybody. But if you enjoy raunchy humor, then you'll dig the Attorneys.
That leads into an intense Saturday Night Live discussion, spinning off into other comedy, including Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (Neal's favorite movie):
...AND SuperTwins, a new superhero comedy web series that Neal and Nick learned about at NYCC 2011:
