The Sink #81 - I Have a Feeling Liz Knows How to Handle Herself

Welcome to The Sink #81! We recorded a day earlier than we originally planned, so apologies to those of you who didn't get a chance to submit an email. (We're staring longingly through our telescope at you, Dr. Andrei!) We'll be recording our next episode some time over Labor Day weekend (if we can swing it, we'll be joined by special guests Jessifer and Patrick), so be sure to get your carefully crafted missives in by Friday, September 3.

There be SPOILERS for this week's "Project Runway" and le grande finale of "The Hills." Isn't this crazy how all this is happening while Lauren is gone?

Props! Eternal and continued thanks to Steven Gullett for the use of his beloved song, "Lovers and Clowns," which I like to think will one day appear on a compilation of his work as "Lovers and Clowns (Theme from The Sink)."

Don't miss! A musical shout-out to Jared before the outtakes at the tail end of the podcast.

Technical note: Although our volume levels are much more consistent this episode, there are some occasional issues with Carrie's microphone that we didn't really notice until we were editing. On the other hand, that very occasional crackling you hear is Jared's beard rubbing against his headset. We'll force him to shave before the next episode or something.

The Sink #80 - After 2 1/2 Years, We Have Nothing To Talk About

Welcome to The Sink #80! With less than 24 hours notice, we somehow managed to elicit five reader emails, powered through a nasty stomach bug, and (in spite of the title) eked out nearly 90 minutes of raw material. We've whittled that down to a more manageable hour-'n'-change to return with the first new episode of "The Sink" in a whopping 896 days! On top of that: Only 10 minutes of the show is dedicated to "Lost" — can you believe it?!

There be SPOILERS for Inception and episodes that have already aired of "Lost," "Top Chef," and "Project Runway." We also spend the last segment of the show discussing this week's episode of "True Blood," spoilers and all. (There was a FUTURE spoiler for "True Blood," too, but we bleeped that out for you.)

Technical note: Tony and Zack are a little quieter than Carrie and Jared. Overall, I think we're pretty happy with the audio quality, but this was definitely the one sore spot we noticed in post-production. Sorry. We'll make sure it's fixed for our next show. Whenever that is.
