Episode 83 – Back To School Special
Al, Mike, Willie special guest co-host Amer, and Steve return with you this week with another explosive show. On this episode, we discuss our memories of going back to school, including one giant rant from Mike regarding school bus stops and annoying mothers who won’t stay out of them.
Stuff That Makes Us SICK! returns this week and this weeks topics are Facebook Poetry, people texting in fast food establishments, and the state of Hollywood.
This weeks Retro Review will feature the final odd game of the month as they review the SNES game Cool Spot. Was this game an alternative to Super Mario Brothers or Sonic the Hedgehog? Doubtful…but the name of the game is Cool Spot…so it has to be good…right?
And finally, we reach into our explosive mailbag for your letters crying out for help from our experts here at The ESCape Show. Will we hear an update from D-Nizzie again, or perhaps cure someones addiction to facebook poetry?
All this and more on this show, so download it today!

This weeks Retro Review will feature the odd Super NES/Sega Mega Drive game “Mr. Nutz”! What will they think of this 2D side scrolling game about a Yeti (no, not Al’s old girlfriend) with magic powers trying to take over the world while the little squirrel named Mr. Nutz travels across the land in order to stop him? We will take you from “Woody Town” to “Ice Scream” to answer that question!

Your Own Personal Look Into ESCape Studios 5.0
As mentioned on our previous Episode 80, we completely redesigned ESCape Studios to create more space, and add some new features to the show. First and foremost you’ll notice that we’ve added The Retro Machine, right next to the luxurious guest chair (AKA Willie’s Seat Don’t Touch It Bitch). We will be adding more to the studio in the weeks to come, but we wanted to show our listeners what it’s like to be here and see the action live. Special thanks to Zedd Zorrander for his help and assistance in the redesign.
Episode 80 – R.I.P. “Tex”
Al, Mike and Willie Fluffy Melgrave, Bucky Dellwood, and Seven SixtyNine with you on this edition as we bring back the popular “WTF Wednesday” evening where anything goes. All topics discussed on the show were completely at random with only the Retro Review Planned out. (See: Sega Tweets About Episode 80’s Retro Review)
A random number of topics were brought up including Willie being disgusted by an episode of “20/20″ he saw featuring a woman breastfeeding her 8 year old daughter, how women prey on other women, and what our names would be if we were porno stars. Plus – Night Trap (Sega CD) in our Retro Review, and listener Tex calls in with a concern which we took as a cheap cry for a publicity stunt – but you won’t believe what happens. Cliffhanger anyone?
Jak also has his “Exclusive Coverage” of the birth of Willie’s son that took place 2 weeks ago, and he played it during the show for our listeners.
