It’s the 114th edition of Social Blend, and joining us to go off the hook is Patrick Parise aka Jenocide 312/Crackerpat from Banned On The Web. We kick off the show paying tribute to the late, great RONNIE JAMES DIO and remember how much impact he had across the world.

Following our Dio tribute, we jump into perhaps one of the most random episodes of all time. We discuss the sale of public lice for purposes of revenge, Naples Pizza cooked with coffin wood, and some of the oddities surrounding the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. Also, You Nostalgia, You Lose: we dive back in time and have a chat about some of the epic television shows we used to watch growing up.

We close out the show with the revelation of the mascots for the 2012 London Olympics, and the universal reaction of “WTF” being heard around the world – as well as some of the severe critical backlash from people across the United Kingdom of these one-eyed monsters! O_O

All this and more on this week’s edition of Social Blend!

Presented by Greg Davies (cGt2099 from cGt2099.com) and Jay Fowler (SilentJay74 from JuicySnake.com) the Social Blend is a fun, and hard-hitting, podcast, with no respect for rules.
