This week on Weezy and The Swish, Matt, Weezy, and Laura are joined by the hilarious Stephanie Wilder and Weezy’s own personal Cowsill, Paul Cowsill (of the Singing Cowsills) on another hilarious episode! Stephanie chats about her new book, Paul sings, there are Cowsills everywhere, and I just don’t know WHAT’S going on. But that’s okay, because you can download the podcast to listen to it as often as necessary to figure it out. Enjoy!

Download the show and check it out!

Ah, there we go! I was starting to wonder where Weezy and The Swish went this week! I can come down off the ledge now; I have my fix for another week!

Ah, another Infected with Martin Sargent. I was seriously craving one, too! This episode of Infected has everything to do with the topic that’s closest to the crew’s hearts…women. And porn. Sometimes both. Seriously; this podcast isn’t for kids, since the crew is going to tell you all of their secrets to the game of love. Enjoy!

Jeff reviews some of the best camera stands money can buy, and Amber and Mikey set into the week’s tech news.

20 Episodes of Lab Rats! Congratulations, guys!

This week on Lab Rats is a fitting topic for their 20th episode; one that’ll really help people remember the episode when they look back on it; it’s all about digital cameras! We all know that the market is flooded with digital cameras and a lot of them are exactly alike with all the same features and all the same numbers, and even if we all knew what all of those numbers meant, we’d still have a hard time making a buying decision! Well that’s where the labrats (and cats) come in!

Andy and Sean stick with Panasonic this week to chat digital cameras and talk about the essential features of a digital camera, and how you can go about making the right decision when it comes to buying one!
