Social Blend 137 rises out of the ashes of the mid-term elections, and joining our rants for this episode is Brian Hill aka Bdog2g2, as we tear apart and analyze the results of this year’s election and ask the real question: why do we even give a crap about it? After we get tired about that stuff, we get distracted by nude house cleaners!

We examine the "possible" evidence of time travel in footage from a Charlie Chaplin related film from 1928 that has taken both the web and mainstream media by storm. Related to the election, Jon Stewart’s rally in Washington was held over the weekend, so have a quick chat about that event – and we also take a look at the Attack of the Toner!!

Also during the show, we look at more evidence that Western Australians are badasses, with the story of a man from Fremantle saving a woman from a shark attack by grabbing the Great White’s tail; and briefly mention the "teabagging firefighters" scandal from (where else?) Florida…

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.
