MTV turned 30 this week, and Jim, Tim & Kirk discuss its influence and the time that Kirk said “I Want My MTV” for a cable tv contest. (03:45 – 15:25) Then, it’s a Musical Moment to Die For with “Duel” by Swervedriver (15:30 – 17:33) Game of Thrones is totally blowing up right now, so we get into a spoiler-free discussion about how we all got into it and why we like it. (17:35 – 29:10) Medialoper Bebop has a sponsor now: DuroSport Electronics. We’re not happy about it at all.
