Coulter Quimby-Wong takes you inside the so-called "Sixteen Day Empire" on this special edition of LBPR's Ponderous Consideration.

Marc had a seemingly benign dream, but Cioffi knows exactly what it means. The sanctity of the Lock Of The Week is called into question. The News Monster stirs up an age-old question. Lots, lots more.

Cioffi’s okay with the show being a public service, as long as nobody confuses it with actual public radio. Low Budget FM visits the Low Budget Old Timey Saloon. Listener-selected topics are tackled during Facebook FAN-tastic Frenetic Fan Fuhpreciation Fuhblursday. Cioffi is investigated for the recent cyclospora outbreak at Olive Garden restaurants.

Marc’s confused about the whole “Johnny Football” thing. Cioffi explains how you can make over $6 million in one weekend of sports gambling. The show’s either already got or is considering a closed captioning racket. Salwin drops some news about stucco-eating snails, helpful labradors and more.

Marc updated his relationship status and Facebook treated it like we just went to war with Syria. There’s a hole in the market that can only be filled by “Uber for Wingmen.” The News Monster visits Ft. Lauderdale, targets deadbeat gamblers and more.
