This week on Firsties, we have the first Hurley episode of Lost, "Numbers!" It's a fairly big myth-arc episode, so enjoy! Also, a heads up to anybody following: next week we will cover Deus Ex Machina AND Do No Harm! Fans of the series know that the two sort of go together, so we decided not to include a wait in between. As always, thanks for listening!

Thanks for joining us for our SECOND Jay and Ross Talk Shit this week! This time, we're talking James Bond and, specifically, the movie Casino Royale. Jason hasn't seen a Bond film since The World Is Not Enough and generally doesn't care for the series. Can CR, often considered one of the best films in the franchise, win him over?

Hello everybody, and welcome back to Firsties! After a brief hiatus, we're returning with Jin's first focused episode, "In Translation!" Enjoy!

After being forced into a hiatus by tech issues, we're back with two new episodes this week! First, today we've got a current event episode that we recorded almost two weeks ago, so it is slightly less current now than it was then! However, we talk a bit about the Royals winning the world series, along with the Republican debates and some recent political articles. Thanks for listening! Tune in again this Friday to hear us talk about Jason's reaction to Casino Royale!

This week on Firsties: Lost, we cover Sawyer-centric episode "Outlaws!" It's a controversial episode, often referred to as an example of filler at its worst, but we think it has a lot more to offer than it's given credit for. Enjoy!

This week on Jay and Ross Talk Shit, we go back to basics with a current events episode!

Thanks for joining us for another Jay and Ross Talk Shit! This week, we thought we would be bold and try something crazy: a cross-media podcast! Over on YouTube, you can watch Jason and Ross play horror game teaser P.T. But we also talked about the game immediately afterward for this podcast! Check out one, or both! It's totally up to you! We originally streamed the playthrough on my personal Twitch channel (twitch.tv/rosssmiller), but may try out a different avenue if we try something similar in the future. All episodes will be archived on YouTube, though, so have no fear! You can watch Jason play P.T. here: Thanks for bearing with us as we try new things!

Thanks for joining us for another episode of Firsties! This week we're covering the first Claire episode of Lost, Raised by Another! Also, a quick note on audio: I apologize for the tinny audio at times. A landscaper was outside with a weed wacker through part of our recording, and minimizing that had a bit of an effect on the audio. What's presented here was the best I could do!

Thanks for listening to another episode of Jay and Ross Talk Shit! This week we tackle Review, Andy Daly's clever starring vehicle on Comedy Central, and HitRecord on TV, Joseph Gordon-Levitt's community-driven variety show for Pivot (which is apparently a cable network that exists).
