Reckless Speculation - The Flash
This week on Reckless Speculation, we speculate recklessly on the future of The Flash. We have our MBS co-host and Pop-Break.com's Flash correspondent, Nando bring on fellow Flash fan's and past guests Kevin Lourenco and Emily Hromada to give some of their crazy Flash theories. Emily wonders about Firestorm's introduction. Kevin thinks a main character is going to die soon. Nando explains his crazy theory that Barry's dad is the Man in the Yellow Suit and he is also Eddie in the future. Comment with your thoughts but go easy on Emily and Kevin. They're noobs. Make fun of Nando. He deserves it.
MBS 067 - Isn't She Bracket?
This is the first week of our Greatest Conspiracy Theory bracket.

Bracketeer Interview - Neil deGrasse Tyson
In this week's interview segment, DJ and MBS guest Nick Porcaro sit down with famed astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson. They discuss conspiracies and the moon landing but mostly the $400 that Nick's dad, Ken Porcaro, owes NDT. Apparently Neil Degrasse Tyson's whole career has been an elaborate scheme to get that $400.

This week we recklessly speculate about Ubisoft. On the heels of releasing the 7th entry into the Assassin's Creed series, we make some guesses as to the future of the company.

We also get a little off topic and argue over whether games like Halo being buggy is a problem or not.

The first week of voting in the The Purplest One bracket is over. We have eliminated many great competitors (and Justin Beiber) to arrive at our top 16. We bring our friend and not legal council George Blazeski on to talk purple and also football. Also speaking of purple and football, you are never going to believe who from the bracket comes on. But then again with the power of prayer and positive thinking anything is possible. Anything.
